The Little Engine That Could

I went on a very long hike yesterday morning as a guest of a weekly hiking group.
I don't think I had any idea what I was in for, which is probably why I agreed to go. My friend had faith in me and my capabilities, as did my family when I posed the question to them yesterday; "Do you think I can do it?”. I am not an experienced hiker,to say the least, and this turned out to be a 3 hour hike (not 2 hours as I had originally thought), mostly straight up the mountain. It was glorious weather, which helped, and I had my very experienced hiker friend guiding and encouraging me the entire way, which was extremely important to me. She helped me stay the course, and believe me there were a couple of times when I didn't think I was going to make it. The last stretch was grueling and we even went through snow. On the way up I was telling myself " I think I can, I think I can" just like the Little Engine That Could - a favourite children's book of mine that I read to my children many years ago. The message of believing in yourself rings out so clear in that book and is something I need to remind myself of constantly. I felt so relieved when I completed the hike and so proud that I had actually made it!
As I reflected on the hike, while nursing my aching body, I began to think how my hiking experience compares to running my home based business. I didn't know what I was in for really when I started my own networking marketing business. I liked the business model but had no idea how to make it successful. I questioned whether I could do it, and looked for encouragement from others whom I respect and who had faith in me. I have aligned myself in my business with great people who train, encourage and support me and who want to see me succeed, as they have. I hear myself saying "I think I can" often as I chug up the mountain to financial freedom. It's so important to keep your eyes on the goal, surround yourself with people who support you, and believe you can do it. I know it can be done. The Little Engine did it, and I did it today!

It's All About the Vibes!

I went to listen to Michael Losier speak tonight. He is a wonderful teacher who wrote the book Law of Attraction - The Science of Attracting More of What You Want and Less of What You Don't. He breaks it down very well. It's all about the vibes.
The Law of Attraction (or LOA) is very simple really - what you put out is what you get back. You put out positive vibes you will get more of the same, and if you put out negative vibes you will get more of the same also. The law of attraction doesn't differentiate, it just obeys and matches the output.

The key is to become deliberate in the process... and he uses a 3 step formula for deliberate attraction to occur.
1. Identify your desire.
2. Give it your attention.
3. ALLOW IT.
Allowing is the absence of doubt. Doubt brings with it negative vibrations and stops the flow.

So, to help minimize the doubt it's important to use the following tools:
1. Celebrate the moment (enjoy every positive experience)
2. Record evidence of positive law of attraction (journal - focusing your attention)
3. Let the law of attraction figure it out (you'll know when everything seems aligned)

Abundance is a feeling - how many minutes each day do you spend vibrating abundance in your life? Every feeling you create is on purpose, so notice everything you are attracting. Then be accountable for why you are attracting what you are attracting.

It's all about the vibes - you get what you vibrate.

Why I drink XanGo?

I used to get migraines all the time. I have suffered with them on a regular basis for as far back as I can remember... well at least since my early 20's. In the "old days" if I had the slightest hint that one was coming I had better not be too far from home because I wouldn't be able to drive far before it really hit. I would definitely be home for the next day or so in a completely dark room with no noise allowed as whatever medication I had at the time really didn't work so I would not be having a good time, for sure!
After many years of suffering with the heavy barbituates available for the migraine pain, a new class of drug came to market. This one focused on blood vessels and serotonin levels, or something to that effect. All I know is that they were very expensive, and I couldn't leave home without them. They worked much better than anything I had taken before, but I still got migraines regularly. Sometimes I had to take 2 or 3 of those expensive pills in a 24 hour period (ka-ching) but at least I had some relief. There were definitely side effects from the pills though, which I didn't like.
Just over a year ago I was introduced to a whole fruit puree mangosteen juice called XanGo that not only tasted delicious, but was being touted as a natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and a pain inhibitor. I started taking the juice purely for its antioxidant properties as I try to be proactive about my health. As there is a lot of buzz about mangosteen in the health and wellness industry these days I thought it was worth a try. I had read that the phytonutrients called xanthones, unique to this fruit in such quantity (over 40), had many health benefits. I really didn't think it would do anything for my migraines, and I continued to carry my medication with me always.
Four months into taking Xango, I realized that I hadn't had a migraine. Wow! That was very unusual, and was very exciting to me. I began to monitor my migraines from then on, and while I have had a couple here and there (usually because I have pushed the limit on lack of sleep, too much stimulation, or too much chocolate), they have not been nearly as severe as pre-XanGo, and they have been few and far between. Sometimes if I notice signs of a possible migraine coming I take an extra shot of XanGo and it goes away. This juice is truly a godsend... and has no side effects.

Xango loses a Great Leader

I heard some very sad news today. One of the great leaders in our industry, and in our company, Bob Schmidt, passed away. It was such an irony as this man who had beaten cancer just a few short years ago, was taken from us while fishing in his new kayak yesterday morning.
We still do not have details but it is such a great loss to so many who knew him.
I had only met Bob really once, last year, when he was in Vancouver for a Xango regional convention. When I came back after lunch I saw him talking to a couple at one of the tables outside the ballroom. I stopped to sit and listen to his words of wisdom also, and in a very short time the table was surrounded with people who were hanging on his every word. Bob was a great teacher and could capture your attention easily. I have listened to his many sales and training tools since I became a student of network marketing - he was a master. I will continue to do so as I grow my Xango business.
He has influenced so many people's lives and helped many become successful in this business.
Bob's passing so unexpectedly makes me grateful for the time I have with my loved ones, as we never know when it is our time.

He will be greatly missed.

Xango Invasion

I recently attended the Xango Convention in Salt Lake City. It was my first one and I was so impressed with the entire event. There were 10,000 people there and the energy was amazing. I attended training sessions put on by successful business leaders and corporate sessions at which a lot of new information was disseminated and we were entertained by a keynote speaker, as well as danced at a Xango dance party.

Some points of interest:

• Xango is now a billion dollar brand in 5 years of operation (it took Microsoft 13 yrs)
• Xango was voted best company to work for in Utah this month
• Xango founders won Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award recently
• Xango changes people's lives - the product & the business opportunity
• Xango has just surpassed Coca Cola as the largest contributor to Operation Kids
• Xango just launched another charity component - Xango Goodness Meal Pack - for every pack purchased ($115 each), 50 starving children in a 3rd world country will be fed
• http://www.xango.tv/ was launched at convention - check it out!
• next year will see the launch of a new skincare line from Xango
• Xango in over 20 countries now, and will be in 32 by next year.
• the first North American research has been conducted this past year at Harvard Medical School - on the effects of mixed xanthones on cancer cells - great results, which will be published in the next couple of months

Some inspiration about this business:

• Xango changes people's lives - the product and the business opportunity
• Network marketing is a leadership program with a compensation plan
• Excellence: "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit." - Aristotle

I encourage you to learn more about Xango and if you know anyone who you think may benefit from "the power of the xanthones", or who is looking for some part-time or full time residual income.... please let me know.

Xango Presentation

My business group had a presentation to a group of people last night who are interested in the Xango business opportunity. It was a great success for me as my guests were inspired by the information they heard, and were spurred into action... some to research further and one person joined my group on the spot and will be a great addition to my team. This business is great as you get to work with people you like and to help them grow their businesses. It is definitely a "win-win" proposition.
