Let me tell you a story. Mark Yarnell, minister in a small town in
Texas, was headed for bankruptcy and just about to lose his car and
home. He looked for a way out and discovered Network Marketing.
Luckily, he had a wise sponsor. The sponsor gave Mark "THE PROMISE":
THIS BUSINESS CAN SET YOU FREE FINANCIALLY IN ONE TO THREE YEARS.
But he also gave him "THE PRICE": TO SUCCEED YOU WILL HAVE TO FACE
AND CONQUER FOUR MAJOR ENEMIES. Mark said, "It's a deal!"
He then invited 200 friends over to his house to watch a video. 80
said, "No, not interested." Mark had encountered
ENEMY #1: Rejection.
He thought, "No problem, my sponsor warned me about that.
I have 120 people still coming over."
Guess what? 50 didn't show up. He had just met
ENEMY #2: Deception.
Mark thought, "No problem, my sponsor warned me about that. I have
70 people who watched the tape." Guess what? 57 said, "Not
interested." he had just encountered
ENEMY #3: Apathy.
Undaunted, Mark thought, "No problem, 13 people signed up."
Guess what? 12 of them dropped out of the business shortly.
ENEMY #4: Attrition had left Mark with just one serious associate. But
Mark had paid the price and succeeded. To this day, that single
distributor earns Mark over $50,000 per month.
Some years ago, 20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19
minutes interviewing the whiners and complainers; several
distributors who had failed, and showed their garages full of
products they couldn't sell. During the last minute of the show, one
of the most successful Amway distributors was interviewed in front
of his palatial home. He was asked, "This business has obviously
worked for you. What's your secret?" He replied, "There is no
secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people. 900 said, "No" and
only 300 people signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at
all. Out of those 85, only 35 were serious and out of 35, 11 made me
a millionaire." Like Mark Yarnell, he worked through the numbers.
Here's the lesson: Your success is directly related to the degree to
which you are willing to work to find others like yourself who are
committed to succeed. Mark Yarnell's odds were 1 out of 200. The
Amway distributor's were 11 out of 1200.
Would you be willing to go through 200 people to find the one who
will make you $50,000 a month? Or go through 1200 people to become a
millionaire? I hope you will. It's easier when you know the odds up
front.
But there's the catch: You have your own set of odds and you won't
know what they are until after you've succeeded. So if you've gone
through 50 or 100 people and you haven't found one serious person
yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn't work, or
recognize that you are working through your own numbers.
The race is not always to the swift...But to those who keep running.

Cardiologist & the Mechanic
A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley
motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop...
The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come
take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage,
"Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"
The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic
was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his
hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its
heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back
in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make
$49,875 a year (a pretty small salary) and you get the really big
bucks ($1,795,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to
the mechanic...
"Try doing it with the engine running."

Do You Fix Other Peoples Mistakes?
The owner of a hair salon in a small town enjoyed the serenity of knowing that he was the only salon in town.
He was responsible for cutting & styling their hair of just about every resident.
His income allowed him to live comfortably and even send his five children to college.
He did a great job and people love his haircuts.
Unfortunately for him, big business came to his town. Right across the street from his busy little hair salon sprang up one of those full service salon franchises. Who hired mostly good-looking girls with very little talent.
Immediately the media campaign began; ads in the newspaper, magazines, and billboards announcing "EVERYTHING FOR $8.00! $8.00 haircuts, $8.00 perms, $8.00 manicures, everything for $8.00."
Soon most of his customers, even his neighbors and some relatives began visiting the salon across the street, and his business sat empty.
Desperate, he hired an expensive Business Marketing Coach.
"I'm finished," he cried. "It's impossible for me, little me, to compete with them."
The Marketing Coach squinted his eyes at the salon across the street. "Not just yet, not just yet."
With that the consultant picked up the phone and dialed the town's only Billboard Sign company.
"Yes, on top of our salon.... in big letters... with this message, WE FIX $8.00 HAIRCUTS."
It's too bad we can't use the same concept with the natural wellness program. People take poisonous toxic drugs to help symptoms and not get the cause of their problem, and in many cases get another problem from the side effects of the drugs. It's too bad we can't say "WE FIX DRUG SIDE EFFECTS."

WINE AND HEALTH: ANTIOXIDANTS
WINE AND HEALTH: ANTIOXIDANTS/PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS 200 different phenolic compounds
Did you know that every glass of wine contains approximately 200 different phenolic compounds (or phenols)? According to Andrew Waterhouse, Ph.D., a key researcher at University of California, Davis, Department of Viticulture and Enology, wine is "one of the best sources of phenolic antioxidants available to Americans." Phenolic compounds are found in high concentrations in the grape skins, seeds and stems. Red wine, which utilizes all of these parts in the winemaking process, seems to be a particularly rich source for antioxidant nutrients.
Scientists all over the world have already isolated and identified compounds such as resveratrol, catechin and quercetin, and have begun to establish their antioxidant and protective properties, already finding phenolics in wine to potentially reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, inhibit platelet clotting, and produce a more favorable HDL-LDL cholesterol ratio. The most recent research has begun to indicate the potential role of phenolic compounds in reducing the risk for both heart disease and cancer, which will assure continuing research in this very important area.
