If you live in the United States, some of you might be a little offended. My aim is to tell it like it is, and will probably upset everyone, including the Cubans. The Cuban “Mafia” in Florida, and the faithful on the island both have their challenges. You would have to say that Cuba’s struggle is a little like the mouse that roared. Despite having nationalised American interests in the country and being just 100 miles from the US mainland with a US base on the island, Cuba continues to be independent and in some areas is superior to its big brother neighbour!

The Republic

In 1959, Castro and his revolutionaries crossed from Mexico into Cuba aboard the grandma, a small boat, to start a popular revolution. There had been earlier attempts to dislodge Batista, supported by the US and hated by many Cubans. There have been pictures of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon powwowing with Batista, the Mafia was running Havana, and there was widespread corruption. Fidel was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx and wanted to create a republic where every Cuban was equal.

The coup ended with a triumphant entrance to the Havana Hilton, where we stayed for 3 days. Here is where the dilemma starts. Would you believe that this hotel was openly being used for prostitution! Large groups of Mexican and South American men were travelling the country and we saw many liaising with young ladies in the hotel foyer (pictured). In fact the first night in Havana was quite an eye opener.

We picked up our car after an hour looking for the hire car representative, and headed for a hotel we booked at the airport. It was a long way through thilfy streets with ghetto like accommodation – whoops I forgot, everyone lives for free and in good conditions in Cuba! This is where we first saw the large groups of seedy men and wondered! The lift was broken so we walked up 11 flights of stairs to our room. There was a Cuban band in the restaurant which had limited food on the menu, later we found that that is the way it is in Cuba!

Happy People.

For the most part, the Cuban’s are a happy lot. They have world famous artists performing regularly in Havana and their Ballet and Baseball outfits are amongst the finest in the world. Housing, Health Services and Education are free, and there are food couples, so no one really should be starving. Fidel says he earns $30US a month and has no need of money. Maybe that is because he has absolute power in the country and doesn’t need it.

Steam trains are one of my loves, and I was lamenting not going earlier when hundreds of them worked the Sugar mills.

We headed out of Havana on our adventure. We were driving around the ring road when we crossed another old track, realizing that this was the freeway! It had pot holes everywhere, and was very wide.

Everyone in Cuba hitchhikes, and we did the right thing and picked up a local, mainly to have a chat. This lady’s family made cheese and she would bundle it up, hitchhike 200k to Havana, sell it and hitchhike back home!

We found the steam train working at the “Central Australia” Mill. I bit strange finding this on the other side of the planet! It was the only steam train I saw working. In the book Fidel tells how he shut down much of the sugar industry when he discovered that most mills were losing money.

The Cars

Cuba is famous for its 1950 car fleet. They are everywhere. Our hire car was much more modern – a shame really! At one point on the way to Playa Giron, or the Bay of Pigs where the US military were quickly defeated after the 1961 invasion, we had a flat tyre. We found a mechanic and they repaired it with a condom! This worked perfectly for the whole trip. These people are survivors and very inventive.

Foreign Policy

Fidel talks of liberating Angola from the South Africans. I was living in SA at the time this war was happening and no one said the SA Army was marching towards Luanda! Castro claimed credit for their defeat. He counts among those he admires, Saddam Hussein, Robert Mugabe, Nelson Mandela, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, and just about anyone who opposes the US! I think you can see why I have mixed feelings about this man. Some of these people are indeed heroes, while others are, in my opinion, thugs!

Capitalism

Fidel believes that any sort of capitalism is corrupt and should be stamped out. In Cuba they did that by compulsory purchase of all foreign owned assets. This is why the US is very upset, they owned most of them! He says his media is used to educate people, rather than sell products. We found that the media was a propaganda machine for the government, with typical communist slogans about the revolution and its enemies. Yet another contradiction here.

In my opinion, Cuba is anything but a free country politically. You can vote for anyone, as long as they agree with Castro!

Fidel says that everyone is free to express themselves. In Havana I managed to have long conversations with a couple of people who were very guarded. They said that informers were everywhere, and if you did anything counter revolutionary, you were in trouble. Privileged businesses like home stays were for the faithful, who could make extra money letting people stay in their houses.

When rent is free, the government decides what type of house you will live in!

My Conclusion

I could go on for hours about Cuba, but I think I have presented enough. It is not Utopia, although everyone is relaxed and races mix very well together. Fidel is an amazing man. He has a strong vision and against all odds has kept the US at bay for over 50 years! That shows what can be done with an iron will. If you are that passionate about something you wish to achieve, it can be done, providing others are inspired to join you. Fidel will go down in history as probably the most successful Socialist leader, and has created a better life for many Cubans.

Despite his shortcomings, he is inspiring for those of us who wish to make a difference in the world regardless of the system!

Tim Sales Background

Tim worked with Professor Charles King of the University of Illinois to produce the unique University affiliated network marketing training course.

Previous to becoming the most qualified Network Marketing Trainer in the business, Tim started out as a Navy Seal and wanted more out of life than risking it defusing bombs! This led him to Newskin, where he built a $150k a month income and a down line of over 56,000 in a period of 5 years.

Tim’s Networking Credentials

Tim has done this business from the ground up, and is highly qualified to present his ideas to those wanting to make it to the top. Unlike many, Tim was not a business expert before he started, he had to learn all the nuances of this industry along the way. Tim is someone you can trust and someone who can assist you to reach your dreams, if that is what you are looking for.

A New Direction

Many were surprised when Tim came out of retirement to join Ariix, a very new company in the Network Marketing industry. He brought with him, Deanna Latson, chief product officer and joined some industry superstars in the management team led by Fred Cooper, people Tim had met while lecturing for their former company, USANA.

Ariix is so new that Tim is still working on the training package. With his background, you know that when it arrives it will be the new industry standard forged from years of coal face experience and connection to thousands of top producers.

The Future For Tim Sales

Right now, Ariix is in its infancy. Even so, it is open in China, a new and exciting market. My perspective is that this company is going places. They have the right people to do that. I would love to have you on my team, but before that, I want you to verify this information and make a decision to build for your dreams using Ariix as a vehicle.

You can contact me at john@pems.com.au, or go to http://myariix.com/johngaydon to find out more, become a customer, or join direct. Don’t forget to check out Rejuveniix while you are there. It is a great product to give you an energy lift.

Watch thefollowing video to find out why I love this company.

Product Quality

According to their website, Ariix presents the Gold Standard for supplementation with their products attaining the highest level of quality possible. Their products are;

• GMP compliant
• Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC)
• United States Pharmacopeia (USP)
• Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
• U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
• OTC (over the counter) medical accreditation

You would have to admit this is very impressive. Many supplement companies have products of dubious efficacy, and most don’t go so far as to check all the raw ingredients for efficacy. An example of the Ariix standout is Rejuveniix, where the product is tested for 100,s of toxins, far more than the 34 required by the FDA. Ariix goes beyond the required standard, leaving customers with peace of mind.

Product Offerings

On the subject of products, please understand that Ariix currently has only a handful of products due to their being just 6 months old. As new offerings are introduced, Ariix reps have the knowledge that they are offering products using 2012 technology! Deanna Latson, Chief Product Officer, is very skilled in this area, and has even improved the original products to the highest standard possible. Current products are Rejuveniix, Vinali, Vitamins, Minerals, Omega Q and Biopro Q.

Distributor Support

One of the most attractive aspects of Ariix is the appearance of Tim Sales of Brilliant Compensation fame as Master Distributor. Tim is well known to those who have been in the industry a while, and built a down line of over 56,000 in Nuskin, with reported earnings of $150,000 a month after just 5 years from scratch. A Navy Seal and bomb disposal expert, I understand that Nuskin stripped him of most of his residual as punishment for him joining Ariix. The fact that Tim is with this company gives me confidence as it is 10 years since he put his name to any MLM.

Robert G Allen is a motivational speaker who will inspire you to go beyond your limits. He is another senior distributor.

Management

This is where it really gets interesting. Apart from Deanna Latson, the executive group includes 4 ex USANA managers. I saw a USANA logo at the Sydney International Tennis Tournament last week, and at $500m sales in 2010, you would have to say USANA is a respectable company.

Fred Cooper was the CEO of USANA and took with him Mark Wilson, head of Sales, Jeff Yates Chief Financial Officer, and Riley Timmer. These are people who have already built a $1/2b sales volume. Do you think they just might be able to exceed that with Ariix! I know Fred Cooper gave up over $2m a year in renumeration to join Ariix.

Because of their connections, the companies already open in China, a country which accounted for the 19% growth of USANA in 2010. Network marketing is in its infancy in China and those who get established early will do very well financially!

Does This Excite You?

If you have been struggling with your current MLM, or are open to something new, you might want to check out Ariix. I would love to have you on my team as I dominate the search engines for products, and build solid training and mentoring, using my 14 years industry experience. You can already listen to an interview I did with Deanna Latson, not only on my site, but at http://permanentlifestyle.com/calls It is nice to be recognised so early!

Now you know about Ariix. If you want to be part of it, join under me and get in touch, contact me and get your questions answered, and get started on your road to residual income wealth.
