Understanding Success
I think my biggest problem is that I want to become successful so badly that it consumes my thoughts. When I talk about being successful, I don't necessarily mean rich or powerful, but simply able to do the things that I love to do without the worry of money. I think that a lot of people probably feel the same as I do. Yet, so many of us continue our everyday efforts of trying to climb the ladder of corporate America. Why are we so scared to take a chance that may ultimately get us out of the rat race? Even when the opportunity takes such little time and money. I started the Arbonne opportunity six months ago because I am tired of being called a rat.... in the rat race that is. I'm ready to start thinking for myself, making my own hours, being able to set my own vacation date. Well I'm ready mentally....but not financially. So I'm still doing the 9-5 and working my Arbonne business on the side. Everyday I take about an hour (on the weekends a little more) and do something that will benefit my Arbonne business. All together I may spend a total of ten hours working my business and setting myself up for the financial freedom I can see across the horizon. It's not a get rich quick scheme, there's no pyramid talking about it, it's simply hard work and reaping the benefits. I call it hard work because in that hour I spend working my business everyday I have to tear myself away from my favorite TV shows (and that's hard work). But in the end the hard work pays off...and that's what matters.

Compelling FOX NEWS VIDEO
Here is a link to a compelling news clip from FOX News that exposes the potential toxicity contained in many retail cosmetics and skincare products. If Arbonne had made a promotional video to express its philosophy of “pure, safe & beneficial”, it couldn’t have been better than this… http://easylink.playstream.com/ydc/Arbonne/fox_news.wvx “Most of you know that I represent Arbonne International, which is a direct marketing company that carries health and wellness products. With this being said, I wanted to share with you a FOX News Report from a Houston station on toxic chemicals in cosmetics. Please take a minute to watch it. It really has some good facts and information. Near the end of the video, the audio suggests that everyone only use cosmetics that have natural and safe ingredients. Then, they show a woman using an Arbonne compact! From Arbonne's inception 26 years ago, they decided to use only ingredients that are pure, safe, and beneficial, and they have continued to stick with it today.” www.makeitreality.myarbonne.com Check the OPPORTUNITY out!!!

Progesterone Balancing Cream & Breast Cancer
Dr. Lee's books on "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Premenopause" and "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause,"
Progesterone cream has been one of the most important supplements I have ever used in my practice.
Most women in our culture are estrogen dominant, so using progesterone goes a long way towards balancing hormones which usually decreases a woman's risk for breast cancer, improves her PMS and breast tenderness and normalizes her cycle.
Reasons Why Natural Progesterone Made by Your Body Is Good
Natural progesterone is very useful to balance excess estrogen. Natural progesterone is also different from estrogen in that your body can use it as a precursor or starting material to make other hormones such as adrenal hormones. It can even convert it into estrogen or testosterone if your body needs it. The table on the next page lists the properties of estrogen relative to progesterone. Some of the reasons that estrogen is frequently in excess in many women are:
1. Over production of estrogen. Ovarian cysts or tumors can lead to excess estrogen production. Stress also increases production, but probably the most common cause is obesity. All body fat has an enzyme which converts adrenal steroids to estrogen, so the more fat you have, the more estrogen is present.
2. Inability to breakdown estrogen. Excess estrogen is generally removed by the liver. Diseases of the liver like cirrhosis or decreased enzyme activity can lead to increased estrogen levels. Vitamin B6 and magnesium are necessary for the liver to neutralize estrogen. Increased sugar intake will also excrete magnesium and interfere with its ability to breakdown estrogen.
3. Exposure to pesticides in foods. Most of us eat foods that have pesticides on them. These and many other unnatural chemicals share a common structure with estrogen and serve as "false" estrogens which further stimulates the body's estrogen receptors.
4. Estrogen supplementation. Clearly any additional estrogen given by prescription will increase the level unless it is properly balanced with natural progesterone.
5. Decreased production of progesterone. Progesterone is necessary to counterbalance estrogen. If women do not ovulate during their cycle they will not produce any progesterone that cycle. This happens commonly and worsens the already disturbed progesterone/estrogen balance.

Generating Traffic Leads
So you have this awesome product, you just know that everyone is going to want it and you can't wait to get your website online so that you can start seeing your visitor counter spinning. You would think that finding a bunch of people to come to your website wouldn't be THAT hard, right? I mean, you've got all the right stuff... the product, the website, the energy....what else is there?
Boy oh boy did you fall into the same trap that everyone else that tries to start a web base business finds themselves in. Generating traffic to your website is HARD, and don't let anyone tell you any different. But the good news is, it's not impossible. There are tons of different traffic generating tools available on the Internet. The problem with that is everyone is trying to make a business out of that too, hence your forking over some major cash if you want to see traffic. But why? Why let people make money off of you trying to make money off of other people?
It doesn't have to be a vicious circle. There is a better way. It's called hard work. If you are serious about starting a business, there will be hard work involved. Don't let these get rich quick schemes fool you. If you could get so rich how come everyone isn't sipping coladas by the pool in their million dollar homes? Because starting your own business is hard work and getting people to see what you do, like your products, and actually get them to pull out a credit card, is even harder!
Here are some quick tips I've pulled together from my attempts at generating traffic:
1. Write an article. Yes, articles get you exposure. Exposure leads to search engine coverage. Search engine coverage leads to the possibility that someone might actually see that your site exists!
2. Try offline marketing. I know it seems crazy but not everyone surfs the Internet all day looking for specifically your product! It's time to get down to the old fashioned nitty gritty. Send out some brochures. Post a couple flyers on billboards. Be your own PR.
3. Talk about your website and your product to anyone that will listen. Make someone curious. They might not know they want what you have to offer until you show them.
4. Not all Internet traffic generators are bad. There are a few out there that actually generate traffic to your site that can help you move up in the SEO rankings or at least Alexa rankings.
So once again, I will leave you with this in mind. Starting your own business is risky, it's hard, it takes time, and patience. However, Once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. The same goes for generating traffic to your site. You will find what works for you and soon you will see... it works really well. Stop Dreaming - Make It Reality!

Make Money Work For You
The truth is that everybody wants to get rich and FAST! I know I do, but in my many attempts, I have found so many failures. I'm the kind of girl that takes life and makes it my servant. When somebody tells me "No" I say "Yes." When someone says "You can't do that," I say "Just watch me." I know I'm not alone. There are hundreds of people out there just like me who are sick of being told what to do and what not to do.
Don't get me wrong, I followed the rules forever! My dad was my mentor growing up and I simply knew that whatever he said had to be true. My dad said that in order to get anywhere in this world, my education would have to come first. So when I finished high school, I did what so many of us do and went right to college. My dad said that if I ever wanted to make any money I needed to get a business degree. So I did. Then my dad said that if I wanted to have an advantage over everyone else, I should get my MBA. So I did. After eighteen years of going to school, getting my bachelors, than my masters, getting all those internships, I'm making $40,000 at best... I'm stuck in corporate America.
That's what I worked so hard for? So I could work for someone else, work FOR money and have the government take half? I know I'm not alone, but at this point I'm not in high school anymore and I don't want to "follow the crowd." The crowd makes an average of $80,000/yr over a lifetime. It's the outcasts that I'm looking for, that I want to be like. Those are the ones who went against the grain and found a way to make money work for them!
I read a book the other day called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kyosaki and I regained a new found sense of hope. He talks about what a difference the way you think can make in your life and with your financial situation. For example, when you think rich, you think about all the ways you can get something you may not be able to afford at that time, instead of simply writing it off and thinking "I could never afford that." So that is what I started doing. I started thinking like a rich person and taking my life into my own hands...not the governments or my bosses or anybody else's. I started researching the information highway (the web) and all the different possibilities and opportunities for people that were thinking like me...like a rich person.
All I found was JUNK. "Start your own Business," "Become your own Boss," blah blah blah. No original ideas, no grantees, no structure. I was starting to realize why so little of the population actually become rich, because if it was that easy everyone would be rich! It wasn't until I was chatting with a new friend I had recently met and she introduced me to a whole new way of thinking, a whole new way of living. At age 25 she had bought her own house, two cars, traveled the world, and was living a life that I was yearning to be a part of, all without ever stepping foot into a "higher learning educational facility" (college).
How did she do it? What did she do different? I was desperate to find out so the next day she invited me over to her mom's house for brunch. When we pulled up, I was face-to-face with a mansion, and immediately I thought "Oh, she's got mommy and daddy's money." Little did I know, I was about to have my foot inserted directly into my mouth. That's when her mom introduced me to the world of Arbonne.
Arbonne International is a company that encourages people who use and love their products to basically start building a business around what they love. Its such a simple concept but so many people don't understand its power. I buy products for my face, my skin, my hair all the time, why not get paid for it? Arbonne's products are organically based and PH balanced composed from original Swiss formulas that literally make you change your views on what you are putting on your skin and in your body.
It took a couple days for me to understand the products and test them out myself. I'm one to only represent something I truly believe in and I wasn't about to sell something I didn't believe in. After a few weeks I started realizing how many compliments I was getting on my skin and how easy it was to talk about Arbonne and all its products. It's been a couple months with Arbonne I’ve began to build a financial future that lays outside the boundaries of Corporate America.
I'm not saying Arbonne is the only way, there are thousands of opportunities. However, this is an example of one that has worked for me. If you want more information about this particular opportunity, you can visit http://www.makeitreality.myarbonne.com.
It’s as simple as this, its time to stop working for money and have it start working for you!
