Until now, the main approach to health was to take antioxidants or vitamins in order to prevent various diseases, or to use various drugs and therapies to treat diseases after being diagnosed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But recent developments in stem cell research point to a totally new means of maintaining health that consists in supporting the stem cell-based process of cellular renewal. For example, by increasing the number of circulating stem cells in the body, more stem cells are available to travel to the liver, pancreas, brain, heart, and other organs, contributing to disease prevention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have all heard about the fact that stem cells renew every organ in the body over differing periods of time. The truth of the matter is that this turnover time is almost impossible to determine and it varies from organ to organ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the Principle remains true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whereas the lining of the intestine renews itself every 5 days or so, the liver renews itself every 2 years, and the lung every 4 years or so… even the brain would renew its self every 20-30 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These time lines do not matter much but what is important to understand is the balance between cells renewing to cells dying. If the body loses cells at such a rate, in order to remain healthy and functional, the body must renew itself at the same rate. This brings into play the other side of the equation: It is the role of the stem cells released from your bone marrow, to travel and do the day-to-day replacement of cells that are lost, ensuring the maintenance of optimal health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a natural process of tissue renewal taking place in our bodies every day of our lives, from the day we are born. This process whereby cells constantly die and in counterbalance cells are constantly renewed by stem cells migrating into tissues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So disease development would not be so much due to a loss of cells but rather to an imbalance between degeneration and stem cell-based regeneration. This imbalance must be corrected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If cells are lost faster than they can renew -&gt; disease develops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If cells can renew faster than they are lost -&gt; health ensues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If cells of the pancreas die faster than they can renew, diabetes slowly develops.&lt;br /&gt;If cells of the brain are lost faster than they can renew, Parkinson for example or other brain disease develops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If stem cells can travel and renew these organs at a rate equal or faster than cell death, health is maintained. Stem cells are our first line protection in the fight against disease and anti-aging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this new theory begs the question - What are we doing to optimize stem cell production in our bodies? Keeping in mind as we age the body releases less Adult stem cells into the bloodstream.&lt;br /&gt;Less stem cells means less repair when we need it most.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is obvious, Consume Nutraceuticals that optimize stem cell production including stem cell enhancing natural products i.e. Colostrum. Reduce your calorie intake and exercise more often. Continue taking quality antioxidants and vitamins. Have a diet made up of many alkaline foods.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the above can improve the number and vitality of the stem cells circulating in your body, irrespective of your age. Adult stem cells are our first line protection in the fight against disease and anti-aging. A new paradigm in preventative health has arrived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, is this the answer we all crave to anti aging and living to 120 healthy years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More info on how to help all this work for you and your health click the link above&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-4985524090461620928?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz/' title='Stem Cells, A review of current scientific studies'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/4985524090461620928/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=4985524090461620928' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/4985524090461620928'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/4985524090461620928'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2011/02/stem-cells-review-of-current-scientific.html' title='Stem Cells, A review of current scientific studies'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-4056937094523574482</id><published>2011-02-15T20:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-02-15T20:55:50.429-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Colostrum Bovine</title><content type='html'>Bovine Colostrum is the early milk produced by cows up 72 hours after the calf's birth. This "early" milk has a nutrient profile and immunological composition substantially different from "mature" milk as it helps the newborn develop in its first week of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of bovine colostrum is to provide the calf with antibodies and nutrition that will aid in the fortification of the immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bovine colostrum contains many beneficial substances. The most important of these substances are: Immunoglobins, Lactoferin, Proline-Rich Polypeptide, Cytokines and Vitamins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is NOT "MILK"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum is known to contain antibodies called immunoglobulins such as IgA, IgG, and IgM in mammals. IgA is absorbed through the intestinal epithelium, travels through the blood, and is secreted onto other Type 1 mucosal surfaces. These are the major components of the adaptive immune system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other immune components of colostrum include the major components of the innate immune system, such as lactoferrin, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, complement and proline-rich polypeptides (PRP).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A number of cytokines (small messenger peptides that control the functioning of the immune system) are found in bovine colostrum as well, including interleukin, tumor necrosis factor, chemo kines, and others. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum Bovine is very rich in proteins, vitamin A, and sodium chloride, but contains lower amounts of carbohydrates, lipids, and potassium than normal milk. The most pertinent bio active components in colostrum are growth factors and antimicrobial factors. The antibodies in colostrum provide passive immunity, while growth factors stimulate the development of the gut. They are passed to the neonate and provide the first protection against pathogens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improvements over several years of development have been focus on transferring the benefits of Colostrum from mammal to mammal, human consumption of Bovine Colostrum has been part of mans history for centuries. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YOUR IMMUNITY &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bovine Colostrum is the only safe alternative for human consumption. The immune and growth factors found in bovine Colostrum are virtually identical to human Colostrum, the immune factors are reportedly up to 4 times richer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Dr. Lance Wright, M.D., a leading researcher on colostrum, talks about its benefits.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;“The immune factors and co-factors in colostrum activate a baby’s immune system and they can bring more normal function back to a dysfunctional adult immune system. ...Colostrum is also known to induce more rapid healing of injured tissue... “The benefits with auto-immune diseases and viruses are some of the most profound because we really have no other way to effectively treat these conditions. Studies show that colostrum will reduce the virus levels in the body from 100 to 1000-fold. &lt;br /&gt;“Colostrum also has some very significant effects with allergies, chronic fatigue syndrome, compromised digestive tract, decreased mental alertness, depression, osteoporosis and yeast infections. That’s just a few of the many conditions that are helped. Because colostrum is a food and because it is so safe, it probably should be tried on almost all illnesses that we suffer from.” Lance Wright explains the major reason why colostrum may be good for you. “In 1983, Polish researchers discovered a small protein chain called Proline-Rich Polypeptide (PRP) in colostrum. This immune factor was found to have the same ability to regulate the immune system as the hormones of the thymus gland do. PRP is able to stimulate T-cell precursors to form T helper-1 cells, thereby promoting the immune system into action against pathogens. “More impressive, however, in relation to auto-immune disease, is PRP’s ability to ‘turn off’ the immune response. “It does this by telling the T-cell precursors to produce T-cell suppressor cells. These are the cells that slow down an overactive immune system, thereby stopping the attack on the body’s own tissue. “Further studies showed that PRP was not species specific, meaning that PRP in bovine colostrum could be used very effectively to combat a multitude of human auto-immune diseases. “The growth factors available in non-denatured colostrum can then repair the damage done by the disease. Growth factors also work to stimulate tissue repair in the skin, the myelin sheath and other connective tissue throughout the body reducing pain and swelling, and increasing mobility and freedom.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reasearch and References http://colostrumresearch.org/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Products and more info available on http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-4056937094523574482?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz/' title='Colostrum Bovine'/><link rel='enclosure' type='' href='http://colostrumresearch.org' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/4056937094523574482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=4056937094523574482' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/4056937094523574482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/4056937094523574482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2011/02/colostrum-bovine.html' title='Colostrum Bovine'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-8842275402072487812</id><published>2010-09-13T19:48:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-14T05:09:56.501-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Great Conference Package</title><content type='html'>Well I have been testing this conference package for nearly 3 years and I can endorse the quality and the fantastic features of the product available on the link supplied. The price is extraordinary and I can only see more people getting started just like I did. I am registered as a member which gives me a commission if you decide to get a conference room of your own and that is OK for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real question is are you getting value? the answer is a capitol YES. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing comes near it for performance as a communications tool, I have had over 200 people in the conference room at one time and it can take many more, and it ran rock solid. This is the best part of the deal that Joel has released in his PRE-LAUNCH ......&lt;br /&gt;Your own webinar room for $8.95 per month that can handle up to 50 seats and that is truly awesome, there is a once only set up fee of $29.95 but hey that is all and you only pay $8.95 per month for as long as you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can develop your own commissions from use and tell but that is up to you. I use Skype and it is a great tool but it works best a one to one, no video once you have more than 2 people. TRY the link and see for yourself and if you want some help just drop me a line and I will get you room up and running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every serious person that uses this style of communication for business or family would be blown away by the features and the possiblities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out the link and see for yourself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-8842275402072487812?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://newimage2008.myprelaunchinvite.com/en/' title='Great Conference Package'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/8842275402072487812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=8842275402072487812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/8842275402072487812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/8842275402072487812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2010/09/great-conference-package.html' title='Great Conference Package'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-5254702392237751932</id><published>2010-09-08T21:06:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-08T23:42:09.800-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>In the past two years, health care practitioners have been hearing a great deal about bovine colostrum, a relatively new food supplement intended to optimize the immune systems of both healthy and chronically ill individuals. Much of the excitement about colostrum has been generated by testimonials, anecdotal reports as well as the marketing efforts of several new supplement manufacturers and distributors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The past 20 years has also witnessed the publication of over 6000 research papers strongly supportive of both colostrum and its numerous components. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the scientific evidence for the clinical application of a promising immune system modulator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In  Colostrum, Life's First Food (33), Dr. Daniel G. Clark's basic message, as printed on the back cover of his book, is that "bovine colostrum rebuilds the immune system, destroys viruses, bacteria(17,18) and fungi, accelerates healing of all body tissue, helps lose weight, burn fat, increase bone and lean muscle mass and slows down and even reverses aging." According to Clark and the well-known naturopathic physician, Dr. Bernard Jensen (34), colostrum has a therapeutic role to play in AIDS, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, allergies, herpes(38), bacterial(15), viral and parasitic(1) infections, gingivitis, colds, the flu and much more. Colostrum has antioxidant properties, is anti-inflammatory  and is a source of many vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum Rediscovered&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Historically, Ayurvedic physicians have used bovine colostrum therapeutically in   India for thousands of years. In the US and throughout the world, conventional doctors used it for antibiotic purposes prior to the introduction of sulfa drugs and penicillin. In the early 1950's, colostrum was prescribed extensively for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. In 1950, Dr. Albert Sabin (12,26), the polio vaccine developer, discovered that colostrum contained antibodies against polio and recommended it for children susceptible to catching polio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY DO WE NEED COLOSTRUM AS ADULTS?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we age, we notice it takes us a little longer to fight off a cold or flu, we become more vulnerable to disease, our energy and enthusiasm lessen, our skin loses its elasticity, we gain unwanted weight and lose muscle tone. After maturity, we gradually lose the immune and growth factors in our body. This impacts us to search for anti-aging and health products and knowledge. We've looked to plants and minerals for an answer, isolating and mega dosing on micro-nutrients (vitamins and minerals). Recently we've become more aware, thanks to the media, about the dangers of this hit and miss approach. With killer bugs at our doorstep, we need to look to what was designed specifically for the survival of our species. Aging, illness and death occur with the loss of immune and growth factors in our bodies. Medical science has shown in hundreds of published reports worldwide that these can possibly be replaced in the human body....with bovine colostrum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Acosta-Altamirano, G., et al., Anti-amoebic properties of human colostrum.

Can we extend the use by date ? well yes if you understand your body is no different to a finely tuned and maintained machine. The one thing we can do is repair ourselves from within. Just as we can self destruct from within, it is important to learn how to avoid the later. I have been around this project now for a short but intense time generating a passion in me to learn more and get the message out to you. &lt;br /&gt;There has been a lot of discussions on Stem Cells and theories about the cause and effect they have on the state of your health. So being involved in the Wellness Industry I gathered up from various sources of information and leads to the best therapies and products and people that are seriously involved. &lt;br /&gt;It is a very new area and the possibilities are awesome and the key is to stay healthy by prevention rather than getting a disease and looking for a cure. The bottom line is if you maintain Stem Cell release as you age your body can replace dying cells and regenerate organ damage efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;Now here is the punch line, you may think well I am ok WRONG very WRONG. This blew me away...... You use 40% of your Stem Cells by the time you reach 25 years of age, by the time you reach 50 you are down to about 50%, for the really important part from that 50% the decline is dramatic and reduces to a 10% release until you die. &lt;br /&gt;This is the key IF YOU START LOOKING AFTER YOUR STEM CELLS AND SUPPORT AND ENHANCE STEM CELL RELEASE,  your body will repair itself reducing the onset of degenerative diseases, how many people do you know that have Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes 1 &amp; 2, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Spinal Cord injuries, Liver diseases, Myocardial infarction, (to name a few), and are now striking down young people as well, there are more people suffering from degenerative diseases than the dreaded big "C" cancer. Yet most researchers still have not much to offer in the way a cures just yet and hopefully within 5 to 10 years. If you contract a degenerative disease now what is there for you NOW, not a lot unfortunately outside drugs and the side effects.&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at stem cell enancing products at http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz worth a vist.&lt;br /&gt;Getting back to the alternative, STEM CELLS. I have joined with some of the key people of the Adult Stem Cell Foundation to help you get your answers and recommend you become a Honorary member for free, you will receive the latest information emailed to you via news letters and with lots of existing posts on the website.&lt;br /&gt;This is the light of hope for many no matter your age.

As we get older, our natural production of adult stem cells diminishes, and we start to see signs of aging and less than optimal functioning of our organs and tissues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colostrum products have proven to be very beneficial in staying healthy and slowing down the aging process.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;This is the key IF YOU START LOOKING AFTER YOUR STEM CELLS AND SUPPORT AND ENHANCE STEM CELL RELEASE,  your body will repair itself reducing the onset of degenerative diseases, how many people do you know that have Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Diabetes 1 &amp; 2, Stroke, Alzheimer’s, Spinal Cord injuries, Liver diseases, Myocardial infarction, (to name a few), and are now striking down young people as well, there are more people suffering from degenerative diseases than the dreaded big "C" cancer. Yet most researchers still have not much to offer in the way a cures just yet and hopefully within 5 to 10 years. If you contract a degenerative disease now what is there for you NOW, not a lot unfortunately outside drugs and the side effects.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have a look at stem cell enancing products at http://www.newimageaustralia.co.nz worth a vist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to start the process email me and I will also arrange your membership to Adult Stem Cell Foundation for free.

Most types of flu infections are mainly transmitted by airborne droplets expelled  by infected carriers or hygienic practices being compromised. Once you have breathed in the infection it will look to multiply causing symptoms like fever, muscle pain, sore throat and mucus.  Your immune system would best be served by immediate boosting in Colostrum intake and looking at the forgotten asset of Vitamin C, it is not regarded as trendy any more but does do wonders. Always check with your doctor if you are not sure about high dosages, as it would be beneficial particularly if you think you are coming down with a cold or flu, look to take about 2000mg Vitamin C per day, get your doctor to monitor your progress. My key principle is that PREVENTION is far better than trying to find a cure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you do not already take colostrum then I strongly suggest you get this product asap. I sell it from my website, http://newimagemarketing.com.au/shop/index.php?cPath=21&amp;osCsid=98d73817b315e763c8d69daf61ebfe33 and will deliver anywhere in the world. The difference in Colostrum is the delivery system, ALPHA LIPID TM - a patented exclusive coating&lt;br /&gt;formulated with added complex lipids which enhance the solubility of colostrum. Some powders, such as colostrum can clump together and pass through the body without being fully utilised. The increased solubility obtained from ALPHA LIPID TM Lifeline allows a more effective delivery of colostrum to key areas of the body, and this creates a positive effect on the liver, gut and brain function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can buy Colostrum from other sources but just make sure it is a quality product. Do your homework and try to get from a reputable source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stay away from people that are coughing or sneezing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This information is not in any way meant to diagnosis and refer to your medical practitioner to monitor your condition if you show any symptoms of illness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sure by the result of my previous post "Testimonials" that Colostrum is a great way to be at optimum immunity to face the future with confidence.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-3347493651324103473?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.newimagemarketing.com.au/colostrum.htm' title='Swine Flu'/><link rel='enclosure' type='text/html' href='http://www.newimagemarketing.com.au/colostrum.htm' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/3347493651324103473/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=3347493651324103473' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3347493651324103473'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3347493651324103473'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2009/05/swine-flu.html' title='Swine Flu'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-1622245172938661029</id><published>2009-04-18T16:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-04-18T16:38:27.679-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Testimonials</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="entry"&gt;      &lt;div class="snap_preview"&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have always valued what people do, this came to my attention from a friend that was a little doubtful about the value of Colostrum.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;“I trust this finds you fit and well.  Many of you are already using Colostrum daily; many have heard about the benefits; so I believe my story will be of value to you as we head into the ‘flu season. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;Helen and I have taken Colostrum daily for more than 2.5 years; we just don’t get sick anymore. BUT – we can still be attacked by viruses. Which is what happened to me last Thursday afternoon. You know the symptoms; dry and sore throat, dizziness, severe muscle soreness and weakness and so on. I even struggled to climb the stairs. What surprised me was the speed of this attack (about an hour) and there was little warning. I knew that the fight was on, especially with 6 income-producing musical engagements over the next 4 days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;So, from Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon I used all 4 forms of Colostrum, taking about 6000 mgs – about what the Olympic athletes use.  By last night most of the symptoms were gone. The only adjustment we made was Helen driving me on Friday morning to Arcadia.  This morning – Saturday &amp;amp; just 36 hours later – I’m almost 100%. No time lost, no medications at all, no visit to our doctor, and all well with 3 weddings (and a funeral!), church services and business meetings. Totally different result from our pre-colostrum days!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;(A brief comment about Colostrum; it is a fully functional highly nutritious food that strengthens and stabilises our Immune systems, making it very hard for pathogens / viruses to take hold. It is the pre-milk fluid that a mammal feeds her baby. We have it available in 4 types of delivery systems).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;" lang="EN-AU"&gt;We have lots of scientific reports and, if you would like to know more just ask.

For years I have been focused on the mental strength you need to succeed and discovered that strength presents itself in many ways. I had a friend that I considered strong in all aspects, except one Friday afternoon he just dropped dead, it truly shocked me as my friend and I had planned so much together, yet now he has given me another path to discover.&lt;br /&gt;Life and business work in cycles, today most people are worried about tomorrow while they should be focused on today. You can change so much of your future by what you do &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;NOW&lt;/span&gt;. Your Health is no different, is what are you doing right now continue to give you a quality lifestyle and freedom, money alone can't give you lifestyle, you have to live that!! but how if you can't get off your chair because your weight makes you start sweating before you take your first step or you catch every cold or illness that is going around and have you discovered aches and pains that slow you down, so now you may ask "what is going wrong"&lt;br /&gt;Well here's the scoop once you are born you then heading towards dying. Did that shock you.... well it sure did shock me. Guess what! you can have impact on &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;"WHEN"&lt;/span&gt; , That really impressed me.&lt;br /&gt;Your body is always in conflict within and outside it's own environment, for every good process is a bad process and when the bad processes takes control then you feel sick. So mammals have developed over thousands of years a protection called "The Immune System" &lt;br /&gt;The great thing is your never too young or too old to rebuild your immune system, it just a matter of finding out how. Well I have found out and with great success, This might sound like a huge advert so don't shot the messenger "Alpha Lipid Lifeline"&lt;br /&gt;Let me ask you an honest question, If you found a gold field would you use you hands to dig up the gold or would you get serious and get a few friends and the right equipment together and then get into it. This is the goldfield of opportunity and you are helping lots of people find their health and well being that will spread like wildfire developing huge financial rewards for those with vision. &lt;br /&gt;Check out the link on Colostrum.&lt;br /&gt;I will be posting more info based on your comments and questions &lt;br /&gt;Contact me and anywhere in the world we can share this reward together&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-5964138853149002273?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.colostrumresearch.org/' title='Immunity and Colostrum'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/5964138853149002273/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=5964138853149002273' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/5964138853149002273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/5964138853149002273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2009/02/immunity-and-colostrum.html' title='Immunity and Colostrum'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-3136094636958587557</id><published>2008-06-04T17:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-06-05T03:31:06.180-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Conditioning Yourself for Success</title><content type='html'>I heard a story of a young boy that was doing badly at school. The school was able to invest in computers and from that day on this young boy improved dramatically in all areas of his education, when asked how did he do it he said that his computer calls him Malcolm but his friends called him "Stupid"&lt;br /&gt;I have been writing my blog for some years now and without repeating myself I see so many people just going down life's path with their dreams buried or pushed into the background. The worst thing about that is they don't even know any better, a conditioning thing I guess, I wonder how many times they might have been told they were stupid or that they would not amount to anything more than..... or they would end up in jail or they where just a mean child, finally they could never do anything good. Yes it is the words we speak that are very powerful and to a child we give their direction and instructions with those words. On average by the time a child is an adult they are told up to 17000 times what they are going to be, are we careful on what we are instructing our children to be?&lt;br /&gt;With our future in our hands it is now your chance to change that direction. How do you talk to yourself, are you conditioning yourself to succeed when opportunity comes your way, what are the words that ring in your ear, is it positive, I hope so. You are responsible for your thinking which will get you what you desire and deserve.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-3136094636958587557?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/3136094636958587557/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=3136094636958587557' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3136094636958587557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/3136094636958587557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2008/06/conditioning-yourself-for-success.html' title='Conditioning Yourself for Success'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-414512644160041296</id><published>2008-05-31T04:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-05-31T05:02:50.234-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Learning Curve</title><content type='html'>Like many people I have shared interesting situations and been very happy to learn from others. I am where I am from the choices I have made, some good and some not so good but through all these years I am happy to say I have no regrets, yes I could have done it better but without failing how can you measure success. How do you know when you are really having a great day unless you have experienced a not so good day. It is not the situation you are in it how you deal with the experience. Children learn constantly then something starts to happen as they grow older, as a juvenile they know it all, then comes a period of awakening, it sometimes takes many years but finally you get to know that you don't know all that much and finally you get to the stage when you know that you know that you do not know anything of any great significance. An old saying "a Jack of all trades and a master of none"&lt;br /&gt;My message is simple, enjoy the fact that you have the rest of your life to have some fantastic experiences and search for them, you can design  your future with a plan.  Some may say but .......... &lt;br /&gt;Yes a BUTT is what you sit on, so get off it and have a great life, become the master of your destiny whatever that direction is.&lt;br /&gt;I look forward to sharing some new directions we have taken, but for now it is all about you.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-414512644160041296?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/414512644160041296/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=414512644160041296' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/414512644160041296'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/414512644160041296'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2008/05/learning-curve.html' title='The Learning Curve'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-7990050372010625454</id><published>2007-02-19T17:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-02-19T19:16:36.030-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Changing Peoples Mindset</title><content type='html'>Sir Richard Branson and Al Gore have offered millions to clean up the mess we are in BUT commercial interests are the players and how much time have we got to waste while our environment continues to be polluted. Here is a way individuals, you and I and the company's we work for or run, can do our part, you may not use this product, that is OK but do something to change that, send this article and links to your friends, do your investigation but for my buck I am passionate about the product on my transport Blogsite, I know it works and how much good it can do, I am in boots and all. A famous gentleman once said, "I was so impressed with the product that I bought the company." &lt;br /&gt;I have always wondered how people react to situations. Now if I was to post an article that would ask for a hand out I might get some result and or some donations for my time but if I am prepared to invest effort and teaching that could bring some benefit to the environment plus generate a financial return, then that is questionable or commercial. &lt;br /&gt;Bottom line, my first step is, am looking for 10,000 people to change the way they look at using fossil fuels. Then in that exchange someone has to buy something so that a change can happen, now out of the exchange there are clear winners,&lt;br /&gt;No1 the Environment, &lt;br /&gt;No2 the Consumer, &lt;br /&gt;No3 the Promoter. &lt;br /&gt;What comes first is what is most IMPORTANT because all the money in the world can't do anything if we don't have a world to enjoy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now it's your call, how is your mindset now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more info contact me and let us together get my plan into action, without your participation I am just flapping my gums.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-7990050372010625454?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://truckers-news.blogspot.com/' title='Changing Peoples Mindset'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/7990050372010625454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=7990050372010625454' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/7990050372010625454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/7990050372010625454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2007/02/changing-peoples-mindset.html' title='Changing Peoples Mindset'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-116960218997805995</id><published>2007-01-23T16:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-23T22:28:13.696-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Who Likes Change</title><content type='html'>It is incredible how time just evaporates but I am back, that is if you would like more. As part of my commitment to my blog readers I would like to maintain this blog with new posts as many times as possible, although my past posts are things I have learnt on my journey thus far and could benefit anyone if they are prepared to take it and do something with it. My new posts will be informative and have some business tips on making money in direct marketing, If your interest is to get more info, that is fine just sent me a email and I am happy to respond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes "Change" this year is the year of big changes, some welcomed and some not, have we got the power to stop change? Well it like time itself, it will happen. The answer is what you do with the change, how do you create more out of change to gain momentum. A great little saying goes like this "Build momentum by accumulating small successes" So now to look at change from a different prospective what success can you develop from the change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is now is up to you because you and only you know what it is you want, use change to your advantage develop a whole new momentum and pile on as many successes as you can. As you continue on your journey some will be still see change as a liability not an asset and they will become more caught up in asking "WHY ME" instead of "WHY NOT"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good luck this year, remember LUCK stands for Labouring Under Correct Knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The more I learn the luckier I get.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-116960218997805995?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/116960218997805995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=116960218997805995' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/116960218997805995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/116960218997805995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2007/01/who-likes-change.html' title='Who Likes Change'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-113091571076196862</id><published>2006-01-26T14:17:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-01-25T19:17:52.736-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Growth</title><content type='html'>The act, process, or manner of growing; development; gradual increase. OR you can be a morbid mass of tissue.&lt;br /&gt;As humans we have a choice;&lt;br /&gt;Understanding the &lt;strong&gt;Process&lt;/strong&gt; of growth over a period of time&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;is one of the many steps in applying the principals of personal development. Real leaders invest in themselves first before they can invest in others.&lt;br /&gt;Knowledge of the task at hand, information and solid support is vital to success of any project, it must be worth your investment in time and resources. The sure fire formula for success is a &lt;strong&gt;DREAM + OPPORTUNITY + EFFORT= SUCCESS&lt;/strong&gt; but this is in general terms, lets break it down into achievable chunks.&lt;br /&gt;Starting with the &lt;strong&gt;GOAL. &lt;/strong&gt;Unless you attach an emotional link to your goal it would be always vulnerable to the winds of change, that is the minute you set off on any goal tests seem to start happening, this could be the form of negative information or negative people, financial struggles, health challenges with yourself or family or with your team members. Remember goals are just stepping stones to your dream, so let's not get all protective about dreams as the biggest entrepreneurs are the biggest dreamers and the way to see those dreams come true is to continue achieving goals set to a time frame with a action plan that moves towards that dream.&lt;br /&gt;With the goal set in concrete without interference from any source, only then can the journey begin. Staying focused but not blind to real issues is a balance that not many people can achieve as it will take strong vision and persistence to break down barriers that will take you into uncharted waters. I call these barriers, membranes of growth, they can be vital in supporting the concept but restrictive in fast development and expansion, you can stretch them a little allowing you to go so far and at the same time holding you back from the next great leap in developing the future. Applying pressure to break through is vital and when you do move on, the process can give you many rewards like satisfaction and experience. So pressure can be good provided it is not stress, working under pressure develops performance but stress can fracture and destroy.&lt;br /&gt;In my next post we will work on the ten average reasons that most people put pressure on themselves.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-113091571076196862?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/113091571076196862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=113091571076196862' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113091571076196862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113091571076196862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2006/01/growth.html' title='Growth'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-113081936239062874</id><published>2005-11-01T15:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2005-10-31T20:29:22.483-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Extraordinary</title><content type='html'>To be beyond what is ordinary, to be exceptional, unusual; remarkable. All these qualities can describe someone's decision to go beyond average, it is acceptable to be average because you are in the majority otherwise there would not be an "average" but is that acceptable to you? People that I see as extraordinary have invested a little &lt;strong&gt;extra&lt;/strong&gt; than the average and with constant and persistent effort they have risen to levels of success that all people admire.

Take a financial example, in 1943 Anne Scheiber retired from the IRS where she worked as an auditor until she was 51 years old. Her income at retirement was $3150 per annum yet at her passing she left an estate worth 22 million dollars. Frugal in her lifestyle Anne Scheiber understood the effect of compounding the return from her investments in the stock market, she had been there for the long haul without taking the profit and spending it. She died at the age of 101 and had managed to amass a huge fortune but the price she paid was she missed out on lifestyle. It is hard to have both without risking the very investment required to bring in the return, that is the trap most people find with wanting the material comforts verses the economic comfort. How can you apply this lesson to your current situation, well the secret is to understand that you invest yourself DAILY compounding your SKILLS, collecting and developing your emotional strength, building your vision, discipline your attitude and care about people, with this you will emerge with a tag of leadership creating momentum towards a tangible result in any field you apply yourself at.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Success is compounding your knowledge and experience to understand what you know and what you don't know. This is the competence that will make you highly effective and respected. If you are in it for the long haul then the sooner you start the better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend this site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt; ; use the business link&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-113035830355007368?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/113035830355007368/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=113035830355007368' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113035830355007368'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/113035830355007368'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/compound-effect.html' title='Compound Effect'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112925914994871127</id><published>2005-10-19T14:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-18T21:47:52.853-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Perception</title><content type='html'>Are you trapped into believing that your job is the only way to financial security? Many describe this as "Pay Check mentality" attached to this label you will find some real issues such as "Fear" and "Denial", making anyone that is works under this perception exposed to the "Ostrich Syndrome" which is to live their life with their head deep in a hole with a perception that nothing can happen because they can't see it. Likewise people not accepting that their security is neglegable based on their perception that they are indispensable, that their job description will not change or that it will always exist, provided you don't rock the boat things will stay the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can still earn the pay check but become independent of it, creating your own security controlled by &lt;strong&gt;You. &lt;/strong&gt;In the process of building a global business it has to start from your belief in the outcome no matter what the current situation is, many people start from humble beginnings to become very wealthy. They can be branded as lucky, you make your own luck by increasing your knowledge then put it into &lt;strong&gt;ACTION,&lt;/strong&gt; knowledge found in books will only be knowledge until applied.&lt;br /&gt;So now get your head right and find out what will give you your goals, I recommend a program that requires your part time effort and has the potential to generate more than you get as a full time occupation. Vision is sometimes wasted on people with sight, they are blind to opportunity or oblivious to what is on offer, going from day to day, through the motions but not feeling passionate about their life and themselves.&lt;br /&gt;Now lets qualify what we want.&lt;br /&gt;1. A business without investment in carrying stock.&lt;br /&gt;2. No Risk, no debt, no handling money, no handling of product for delivery.&lt;br /&gt;3. Guaranteed incomes.&lt;br /&gt;4. The ability to create Passive Income&lt;br /&gt;5. Free holidays and extra benefits.&lt;br /&gt;6. Part time without risking my current income.&lt;br /&gt;7. Leverage, building globally from where you live.&lt;br /&gt;8. Financial Freedom.&lt;br /&gt;9. A System that works.&lt;br /&gt;10. A Mentor and coach for free that supports your business development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now if you have would like access these opportunities then drop me a line and we can see if you qualify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend,&lt;/strong&gt; link is a way to share this with your friends or email the link.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112925914994871127?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112925914994871127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112925914994871127' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112925914994871127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112925914994871127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/perception.html' title='Perception'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112901342068076026</id><published>2005-10-11T17:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-11T00:13:59.033-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Butterfly Story</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/1600/Butterfly%20Picture.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 309px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 199px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="320" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/Butterfly%20Picture.jpg" width="289" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when you need to share, This is one of those times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.&lt;br /&gt;Then, it seems to stop making any progress.&lt;br /&gt;It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further.&lt;br /&gt;So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon.&lt;br /&gt;The butterfly then emerged easily.&lt;br /&gt;But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.&lt;br /&gt;The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.&lt;br /&gt;What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were nature’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life.&lt;br /&gt;If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been.

The ability to have &lt;strong&gt;Multiple Incomes&lt;/strong&gt; is a very sound concept in today's changing world for many reasons. Unfortunately for some, that only go down one path in life, can be exposed to financial hardship and at worst have no choices with their investments if things don't go to plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Job Security, is that an issue?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Unexpected Family expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Educational Expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Inability to work due to illness or injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Changing costs of interest rates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just one of these challenges is enough to create difficult financial choices let alone two or three at the same time. Recently due to natural disasters, which were out of anyone's control, whole communities and the people that live within them, lives have been wrecked along with their homes, their workplace and now forced to rebuild or move on to make a fresh start somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;Would it be fair to say that you find that most people spend their income on their home, car and general family expenses and have little over for anything else? What about retirement, who said you had to be sixty five, you can retire when you can afford too. What would you be prepared to do to change your situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Change your lifestyle (spend less)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Change your job for a better incomes. ( What could be the trade off in time)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Borrow some money and go invest it in shares. ( where do you get the right advice)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Buy a bricks and mortar business and work even harder. (Retail, Services, more time)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a better way, all you need to do is take the time to understand the rewards and security that comes from the ability to&lt;strong&gt; diversify&lt;/strong&gt; your time to gain the choices that you desire. Invest time to gain a passive income for the rest of your life and that is willable to your children.&lt;br /&gt;Cost Nothing to find out, All you do is ask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend &lt;/strong&gt;Business links have loads of info and I am happy to speak to you, just &lt;strong&gt;SKYPE ME &lt;/strong&gt;it's&lt;strong&gt; FREE.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112881132878479841?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112881132878479841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112881132878479841' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112881132878479841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112881132878479841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/diversification.html' title='Diversification'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112859195687347631</id><published>2005-10-06T23:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-07T20:42:04.596-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Opportunity, Take It or Leave it</title><content type='html'>The opportunity part of the formula to success hinges on the ability to translate information rather than rejecting everything as not in your area of expertise. Knowledge is the key to growth and growth requires more knowledge. The internet is increasing our knowledge base at an incredible pace and will until the next generation of global communications is developed.&lt;br /&gt;Information transfer is how ideas are developed, as we translate knowledge it into subjects that we store, something sparks a &lt;strong&gt;What if question&lt;/strong&gt; and then the process begins. That is what we do, some make it happen, some watch it happen and others say what happened, the one's that make it happen are the people with vision. We tend to put them on a pedestal and wish that we had thought of it first but they only saw the same information but viewed it with a different perspective.&lt;br /&gt;"I am only a ............" Or "I am a ..........." Labeling ourselves and sitting on the shelf for 40 hours a week for 45 years or until the use by date is reached can be the danger, for some it is going to be their stumbling block to developing opportunities, if that is the case what it comes down to is they simply have accepted their lot in life and even with a gold mine in the back yard, it would be too much trouble to go buy a shovel.&lt;br /&gt;That is fine if that is what you may want but if you don't, then what? Go back to school, I bet that would be is exciting for a while but who pays the bills if you have a mortgage, funds the expenses for the family or your current lifestyle and how can you develop something that you love dearly, some spare time. Yes to improve your lifestyle you do have to give up to get up.&lt;br /&gt;So what else is out there? Plenty of great opportunities in different styles of business or work, what is the cost in time, Would you like to have leverage to gain back time because this can be the difference between a good opportunity and a truly great opportunity. Everyone has their own opinion because of self interest. Look hard at all the different options, because it is worth it when you take action and get out there to grab a fistful of your dreams.&lt;br /&gt;This is my way of sharing my opinion without the self interest, by writing this blog I hope that you do something, anything that can get you your goals and dreams. Compare real things that are tangible, when you are ready just take a look at the business links on this blog, part time effort with guaranteed incomes that can surpass your current income or have extra to do the special things that you can't do now. With this opportunity I am bias and the information is yours to pursue because it has done that for my family and we are all looking for &lt;strong&gt;MORE TIME&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not get more &lt;strong&gt;KNOWLEDGE&lt;/strong&gt; studying the Business Links and get started on the translation for you and your family, your perspective might change what you see in it and so will your lifestyle. If you choose to journey with us or another opportunity I wish you great success because it is your goal and dream that will come true for you. My hope is to have inspired you to step out of your comfort zone, find those dreams and goals that have been put out of your minds sight and search for opportunities to make them come true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend&lt;/strong&gt; link is a great way to share these ideas.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112859195687347631?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112859195687347631/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112859195687347631' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112859195687347631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112859195687347631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/opportunity-take-it-or-leave-it.html' title='Opportunity, Take It or Leave it'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112848948040446039</id><published>2005-10-05T15:53:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-04T22:53:07.020-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Financial Freedom</title><content type='html'>To obtain Financial Freedom most people miss the mark when they start out. Here is a simple formula that will work to start you on your way     &lt;strong&gt;Goal + Opportunity + Effort = Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This the foundation of every successful entrepreneur I have shared information with, it is so simple but effective. I may go over these points in different posts because like a wheel the spokes are the strength that support the weight of the vehicle from the road to the axle. The larger the weight the more spokes you need, so with this in mind the larger the goal the stronger and more disciplined you must be. Let's apply this to the&lt;strong&gt; Effort&lt;/strong&gt; part of this formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;/strong&gt; Do the work&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;/strong&gt; Work out what is successful and stop what is not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;/strong&gt; Disciplines in time management with balance always a priority.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;/strong&gt; Duplicate successful people by finding a mentor that will share and encourage your vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;/strong&gt; Systems work, so work out a system by following one or developing one that suits you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6.&lt;/strong&gt; Be yourself, like any gem add value by polishing all your facets by Personal Development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7.&lt;/strong&gt; Reward yourself only when your effort is consistent with your timetable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8.&lt;/strong&gt; Be persistent, it's your goal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9.&lt;/strong&gt; Ethics are always valued and admired, so work in this area, you can never be too humble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10.&lt;/strong&gt; Your efforts are valuable when invested in others, give of yourself first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this formula we have&lt;strong&gt; Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; and there are many out there in this wide world so it is very important for you to define what success means to you personally. In my previous post &lt;strong&gt;WHY&lt;/strong&gt; expands my views on this subject, so it is with experience that I can recommend what I have found to be the opportunity that gives the best balance in time and effort and reward. Check out the links and study what is on offer, get the facts from the right sources you will be impressed with the progress &lt;strong&gt;Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt; has.&lt;br /&gt;AS from July 1 2005, this organization has opened operations in United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Philippines, South Africa, Brunie, Started in 1990 this very unique Australian opportunity already operate very successfully in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. As a member &lt;strong&gt;You&lt;/strong&gt; can operate from any of the countries and build in all with a seamless plan generating passive incomes for those who have a GOAL that seize the opportunity and are willing to invest the effort.&lt;br /&gt;Next post is your selection I will choose a subject from you questions so now the&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Forum is Open.

How do thoughts become real? I believe with a channeled focus and action all thoughts can become real objects or circumstances. A simple example in the material sense is the building you live in, let's say it is a house. The events that occurred to have that house built started as a thought, the developer had a plan to make money from this thought, he gave his concept to project manager who then transferred the thought of the proposed dwelling to an architect that put the thought onto paper in the way of a drawing and plans. The next step was from the plans came the finished item that you call home. In the process the thought had passed through many minds, A &lt;strong&gt;Thought&lt;/strong&gt; then &lt;strong&gt;ACTION&lt;/strong&gt; plus a written &lt;strong&gt;Plan&lt;/strong&gt; is the only process the house was completed to become reality. Are you following your life's plan? OR is you life constructed by other people's plan for you.&lt;br /&gt;As you entertain various thoughts, they can be of things you don't want and here any thought can become an expectation. Unfortunately the way the world is today we are feed information of a less than optimistic nature, check any headlines in the news. We have been programmed to have a less than positive attitude about the future because good news does not sell as good as bad news. So now we are in danger of entertaining attitudes that generate fear, an acronym for fear is &lt;strong&gt;F&lt;/strong&gt;alse &lt;strong&gt;E&lt;/strong&gt;xpectations &lt;strong&gt;A&lt;/strong&gt;ppearing &lt;strong&gt;R&lt;/strong&gt;eal. How many times does that little voice in your head tell you that you are kidding yourself, that it could never become real for you, that you would only fail if you attempted it. Coupled with the chorus of other voices from well meaning friends and relatives that want to protect you from disappointment?????&lt;br /&gt;So be careful of your thoughts as they can herald your future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;More to come next post, Financial Freedom obtained with a very simple formula.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Recommend site to a friend link is a great way to share what you may think is important.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112829833984304139?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.omegatrend.com/infoglueDeliverLive/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=784&amp;languageId=1&amp;contentId=-1' title='Visualization'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112829833984304139/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112829833984304139' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112829833984304139'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112829833984304139'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/10/visualization.html' title='Visualization'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112812882805973749</id><published>2005-10-01T18:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-10-01T01:13:47.350-07:00</updated><title type='text'>THE WHY</title><content type='html'>To understand "&lt;strong&gt;SUCCESS&lt;/strong&gt; "it is imperative to understand what it is that success will give you, without knowing what it is that drives you makes it all just a wish. I hear many wishes, what the extra money can do and most times it is the material things people wish for first; they may start with the new car, the new boat, holidays , for the extravagant big diamond ring, just stuff in general and that is all fine BUT to wish for something, is it enough? Will it drive you to the dreams and goals that every day occupations don't seem to get you. I have never ever seen anyone become wealthy on a average to medium salary, and even if you made it to the top position in the corporate jungle what would the time aspect be like?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success is more than just money, it's Balance. &lt;/strong&gt;this will help you with some exercises that develop your thinking process and the way you go about&lt;strong&gt; Success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Let's start by writing down a list, on one side what you want and on the other side what you don't want. This can make some interesting reading if you are absolutely honest with yourself. Then from the general list of wants and don't wants write your &lt;strong&gt;MASTER LIST. &lt;/strong&gt;This can be the your turning point if you understand what you have done, think a little about it, you have now got the raw plan for your future, more work has to be invested by you and that will come in my next posts but for now let's clean up the list. Get real about your resources and the investment required in all areas such as time, focus and discipline. Your master list had better be what you mean to make happen or it all just reverts back to a wish. If you then go over each item on your list and prioritize each &lt;strong&gt;Want&lt;/strong&gt; or &lt;strong&gt;Don't Want, &lt;/strong&gt;then put a date of completion next to each. Rewrite the list in date order and revise the importance relevant to each item and get real, emotionally. You have just poured out your hearts dreams on paper, which makes it more than just a thought, if you can't get emotional about it your wasting your time. It's got to be so important that you would be devastated if you failed to make it happen in your lifetime.

On the outside you may find people that are happy, that have it all, OR Do they ? Just ask them. Would they do it different if they had it over again. We have one chance at this thing called life how well do you trade your time? Usually it is metered out at dollars per hour, do we respect or value our time? Or do we just follow like sheep the status quo, are you making compromises that this is your lot in life and now just having to accept it. So now it is your choice, be the walking dead or design you life. The wonderful thing about people is that they can change.&lt;br /&gt;No matter where you might be now, resolve to embark on the journey of self-improvement in all areas of your life, including your health. It's the one greatest &amp;amp; most exciting journeys you will ever take. Personal Development is just as important as the capitol that a business requires to expand, without capitol it can be frustrating and dangerous to move forward, so it is without the leadership skills that come from personal development that can also frustrate your desire to move forward, reading good success stories from those people that not only tell you but show you. Nothing works in theory until it is proven in action. So when taking advice always listen to successful people that have triumphed over failure " Success is a poor teacher" only by failing do you learn the lesson. The most successful people that I have had the pleasure of sharing time with have failed the most but today they have financial freedom, time free and enjoy helping others to obtain the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share this with your friends and help them succeed by your example of stepping out of your comfort zone to develop yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Recommend this site and we will see you next post.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112793916316081643?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112793916316081643/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112793916316081643' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112793916316081643'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112793916316081643'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/do-it-before-you-need-it.html' title='Do It Before You Need It'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112770876773640746</id><published>2005-09-26T14:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-25T21:45:57.183-07:00</updated><title type='text'>KISS Principal</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;KEEP IT SUPER SIMPLE&lt;/strong&gt;, that is if you want to be successful in this style of enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;We all look for the magical edge that will create instant income, a bit like micro-wave cooking ready in 60 seconds. There are plenty of offers that do all the work for you, automatic networking builds the lines for you or no structure required just join and the check is on its way, I will leave that all for you to come to your own conclusions. Do your research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the proven way?&lt;/strong&gt; Developing a relationship, trust, respect, be teachable, support, no room for egos, all simple little steps that develop huge strides in the direction of success. As usual there will be the doom sayers that want failure to prove that they where right and will do all they can to sabotage anyone that steps out of the average mould out to give it a go. Cynical people that are so bitter towards change that they infect other people with their outlook in life, how about becoming the encourager, giving courage is more rewarding than stealing someone's hopes for a better life, yes there are genuine reasons to take care and I respect that, but in balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It is better to have no sight than to have sight with no vision" &lt;/strong&gt;a great quote from the past.

We live in a consumer driven market where daily consumable products and services are purchased every second of the day, then why not position yourself to take advantage of it? Here are some of the excuses people make, when approached to look at the program;&lt;br /&gt;It's not for me, I can't sell, I would lose my friends, I wouldn't be caught dead in one of those things, those things never work, it is just like ............? My friends tried that and didn't make any money.&lt;br /&gt;All of these answers are "DENIALS" which cover up areas of personal development that are absent in most cases, they are,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Status&lt;/strong&gt;, be humble with your achievements share with others opportunities what come your way, others may not have been as fortunate or educated as you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Insecurity&lt;/strong&gt;, failing is only temporary it becomes the building block of a true leader&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fear of rejection&lt;/strong&gt;, people who base their position in life on what people say are lead by them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lack of positive outcome&lt;/strong&gt;, there are two roads in life the high road or the low road, your choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Low self esteem, &lt;/strong&gt;caused by the programming a child inherits in their upbringing, too high a expectation can cause as much challenges with esteem as too low.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now we have lost the ones that are still in denial we are left with you, so now to reward you for your guts to move on. Let's go over some simple ways to develop &lt;strong&gt;Financial Freedom.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can work for an hourly wage for 40 hours per week for 45 years and you can get all hi tech and jump into cyberspace to find your fortune, but some things remain constant, everyone on this planet does every day of their lives no matter what the financial rollercoaster of life does, that is we all use home consumable products and services. &lt;strong&gt;HOW&lt;/strong&gt; to make it work for you is very simple, if you are prepared to work smart not hard, then you are on your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom line it starts with you, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When &lt;strong&gt;you&lt;/strong&gt; lead by example that's when the world will follow, an Australian around the world solo sailor had not made the commitment but had told everyone about his plans but when he set the date and set out on the journey then the world got behind him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Contact me if you live in any of the 10 countries we operate in and lets show the our readers your comments of your success, it would make a great test case to encourage others that want to share in the benefits. &lt;strong&gt;You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next post we will go through some steps that can further develop your success&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share this with your friends, &lt;strong&gt;Recommend this site&lt;/strong&gt; and take them on an incredible journey&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112760619660776276?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112760619660776276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112760619660776276' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112760619660776276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112760619660776276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/cash-flow-positive.html' title='CASH FLOW POSITIVE'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112726046160215914</id><published>2005-09-21T10:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-21T00:59:32.326-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Global Business</title><content type='html'>Global operations started July 1 2005, in United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Philippines, South Africa, Brunie, we already operate in Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore. You can operate from any of the these countries and build in all, a truly seamless marketing program. Incomes are guaranteed at levels reached for structure and business volume which are far more than would be paid in any other genuine network business. Part time effort can generate fantastic monthly incomes of up to US $1800 , 1200 Pounds, HK $7000, PHP49000 achievable within 3-6 months, would that change a few things in the budget?&lt;br /&gt;Would you ask your local department store owner are you a legal enterprise? Probably not because it has been programmed in our upbringing that's how goods reach us the customer. I was amused recently when a group of city kids where taken to a dairy farm and they watched cows being milked, wide eyed and mouths open they discovered where milk came from and it wasn't from a carton.&lt;br /&gt;Direct Marketing or Home Based Business can come under different roofs so to speak. I am aware that buy and sell business requires stock and risk of debt, extra time for distribution which is just a sales room from your home and operational cost saving are minimal. In some home based businesses you can have a BUY and Sell margin on products, which may have two basic profits. Front end profit is from the sale of the product and rear end profit is based on the business volume and structure of your network. All very good &lt;strong&gt;BUT &lt;/strong&gt;most of the real profit is hands on work at the front end and without that is not a very good return for effort because you would need a very large network structure to receive a sizable rear end bonus. The people making money is the company because of the volume turning over without risk is many times the stock they carry in their warehouse, imagine the many thousands of distributors that carry say $???? Dollars worth.&lt;br /&gt;If you look at any home based business that claims not to carry products and or services be aware that the true definition of a network business is that it must trade in products and or services, without profits being made from memberships only and that those profits are not then used to fuel the growth by paying back incomes to the recruitors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BROKERS &lt;/strong&gt;represent the company, they establish a client and maintain that client. They develop very good passive incomes and once the work is done takes little maintenance for good CASH FLOW . With this model in mind lets talk about a great business program.&lt;br /&gt;A group of people looking for products and services that develop passive incomes rather than a business that is looking for people to sell their products for their profit.&lt;br /&gt;Now we have virtual business structures, in a recent book by Robert Kiyosaki, he commented on "invisible skyscrapers rising from the suburbs" originally he had no time or understanding of the benefits and leverage a home based business has, with knowledge we can see true benefits in passive income streams that can develop financial freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CASH FLOW&lt;/strong&gt; is king without it we are chasing our tails, we invest in property in the hope that one day we will pay it off, if the tenant moves out who pays the mortgage, if then the hot water service blows who pays for that. Shares are fun when it is going your way, daily check ups buy, sell, will it go up or down when is the next cycle of boom or bust, yet that makes people feel alive, the risk or the win, sounds like just another gamble to me.&lt;br /&gt;If you wanted to invest in property, shares, and other opportunities would constant passive monthly CASH FLOW take the stress out those investments?&lt;br /&gt;In my next post we will expand on how to build a cash flow business from home.

No doubt, we try to convince ourselves we are getting somewhere in the journey of life, is it in line with your grand plans? My question is, to date did you have to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;COMPROMISE ?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the current situation inline with the real vision you had for your future?&lt;br /&gt;If it's not quite what you set out to do, did circumstances change your course?&lt;br /&gt;I was guilty of saying to my family "next year will be better" until I was running out of years.&lt;br /&gt;There are many theories justifying situations, the reality is we are responsible for our goals, we can decide if we want to control the level of our circumstance.&lt;br /&gt;So here is a little story about a young boy that watched all the kids in the neighborhood ride around on new shiny bikes, so he went to his mum and asked why he didn't he have one too. He was told he could have one but he would have to pay for it as they where a poor family and could not afford the price. Immediately he decided if that is what he wanted then it was up to him, odd jobs, selling papers, nothing was to difficult for him, even singing at functions, just for that little bit more towards his dream. It took what must have felt like forever but finally the day came and he went out and bought his new bike. &lt;strong&gt;THIS is the beginning of the story.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyday he rode his bike to school, had the chain and padlock so it wouldn't be stolen. He would be often seen cleaning and polishing it, and if he got caught in the rain he would wipe it down. In the rest of the neighborhoods all the kids bikes where lying around and when it rained and they where told to put their bike away they just stayed out there to rust but not this young boy's bike was tucked away nice and clean and dry. His bike was always shiny and sparkled and all the kids admired it so much. After a couple of months the kids in the neighborhood couldn't understand how this poor kid had such a great looking bike and their bikes where rusty, dented and dull.&lt;br /&gt;The parents that paid for new bikes again where setting their kids up with a value problem,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;they could afford to replace the rusty dull, dirty, dented bikes but did the kids have&lt;strong&gt; RESPECT&lt;/strong&gt; for what they had? Did they understand the &lt;strong&gt;VALUE&lt;/strong&gt; of what they had be trusted with? How would they grow up and treat people, possessions and relationships?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WE can do the same with opportunities when they are presented to us, how much would we &lt;strong&gt;VALUE&lt;/strong&gt; an extra $2750 to $5000 dollars a month, would it change a few things around the home or give us less stress at the end of the month when there is more month left than there is money and things get drastic so then we reach for the plastic. How much would we &lt;strong&gt;RESPECT &lt;/strong&gt;a true opportunity that profit shares fairly and enhances peoples lives globally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you need to find out more about a business that works while you play.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112684303752547963?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112684303752547963/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112684303752547963' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112684303752547963'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112684303752547963'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/value-program-on-offer.html' title='Value The Program On Offer'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112579248731212181</id><published>2005-09-06T13:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-08T02:35:47.103-07:00</updated><title type='text'>RESOURCES YOU NEED TO SUCCEED</title><content type='html'>If you are thinking of setting up any business your first steps are the difference to success or failure, understanding what you want from the investment, how much effort and time is required and the security or lifespan of the venture, once you have established this concept then you would need to rally your resources and take all the variables into account, risk, exposure to debt, cash flow, tax laws. After taking advice from reputable people, that is people that have succeeded in similar ventures, then and only then make a decision, borrow or offer other investors the opportunity to back your business plan for a share of the proposed profits, probably in 2 to 5 years, &lt;strong&gt;MAYBE?????&lt;/strong&gt; Now that is how simple it is start your down the road bricks and mortar business. That is a real business because you have everything to lose, your money , your home , your family, so with this over their head people feel that they are IN BUSINESS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THERE IS NO GUARANTEE OF SUCCESS&lt;/strong&gt; in any business ! It is &lt;strong&gt;ALL&lt;/strong&gt; up to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compare the risk&lt;/strong&gt; associated to a good home based business. Over the next few posts I would like to expand to this area of business, where you buy a membership into the global system of direct sales for the price of a meal out for four at a good restaurant, &lt;strong&gt;PART TIME&lt;/strong&gt; building a business network locally as well as participating in a global seamless network now operating in ten countries. Members from all these countries profit share and can generate incomes that are banked into their accounts in their country and currency, paying tax in their country. So now you have to invest the effort, starting part time with people prepared to support you by investing their in time and money to help you succeed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Resources to Build a GREAT home based business&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. There is no doubt that people that are approached to build home based businesses have no idea what to do, I have spent some time searching the web for articles and information on people and their experiences with this style of business. I have come across a lot of hate sites aimed at questionable practices citing one business in particular and some websites that warn about scams and illegal operators, bottom line all unfortunately are cynical and found that their was hardly any credible balance in the information. Anyone visiting these sites would find it hard to step out and give any opportunity a go. I assume that the people that started these sites did so out of anger and frustration, justified in some cases but now they make good incomes from their sites (maybe) and that could be their reason to keep the rage going, but to assume could make an &lt;strong&gt;ASS&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;U&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;ME&lt;/strong&gt;, so I won't go down that road.&lt;br /&gt;The result is people regurgitate incidents in some cases up to 10 years ago. Give me a break, they probably don't want to admit that they lacked the ability to look in the mirror and say would I follow me? Yes that is the hardest question to ask yourself, because leaders are not born, leaders rise from the ashes of hard times, anyone can lead in easy times. If you are a good student then you can become a great leader. This style of business works on a duplication process and grows according to the quality not quantity of new members.&lt;br /&gt;There are 3 types of leaders&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. A Reluctant Leader.&lt;/strong&gt; ( I just got this job what do I do)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. A Positional Leader.&lt;/strong&gt; (When the going gets tuff the weak get out of here)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. A Visionary Leader.&lt;/strong&gt; ( When the going gets tuff the Tuff get it GOING)&lt;br /&gt;Under pressure comes the gem and people have many facets that need polishing, are you big enough to admit it? Or is your ego larger than your ability to understand.&lt;br /&gt;Now we get to learning &lt;strong&gt;THE HOW TO.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The cost of personal development. &lt;/strong&gt;For some this will test you, if you have bad experiences or someone has warned you that tapes and functions will fry your brain that you will grow two heads with eyes in the back as well, you will become a zombie with no brain to make your own mind up, then I cannot help you. You have already been brain washed . Why do major companies send their employees to coaching and motivational conferences? Maybe they are prepared to invest in their staff so they may improve. WHY not invest in yourself and don't complain about the cost, didn't you think you are worth more money, this is called value adding. If your employer sees value in you for their goals, you are encouraged to do more with the promise that they are prepared to pay you more, so back to school or university chasing the extra letters behind the name. Does this mean you are value added or just more educated because the world is full of educated derelicts, (no disrespect) for whatever the reason highly educated people work as gardeners and laborers, some are so over qualified they cannot find employment or they are burnt out by the years study or the weight of responsibility, that they opted for a different lifestyle.&lt;br /&gt;Does a job give you security? Well how secure do you feel now in your current occupation, as an example would you feel comfortable buying a home and committing yourself to paying it off for the next 25 years to 30 years? Will you be in the same job at the end. The stats don't lie, check it out, it will shock you that during the average working life most people &lt;strong&gt;could&lt;/strong&gt; experience 5 job changes in their lifetime.&lt;br /&gt;Let's finish this post with some more stats, excluding Franchise type but going into a bricks and mortar style general business, you would be better going to a casino and playing two-up (Aussie gambling game played with two coins) heads or tails 50-50 chance of winning or losing. Again the stats indicate that after 5 years 85% of new start up businesses are no longer operating or bankrupt, from the 15% more will fail and the remaining businesses that grow and flourish continue to pay a high price in time and effort, increasing their investment to stay on top. For some the result has had devastating circumstances with personal loss, homes sold, even marriages collapse from the stress of losing everything. The dream was right, but was the vehicle the right choice?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS THE RISK &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a quality home based business you risk &lt;strong&gt;NOTHING&lt;/strong&gt; compared to a bricks and mortar business that has staff, rents, fixtures, stock, etc&lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; Never give up on yourself, you will never fail. If you see value in reading, listening and mixing with successful people then you will accelerate your progress . With positive influence, encouragement and coaching your hope of better things will be brighter than ever and achievable. Invest to progress, are you worth it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;peace&lt;/strong&gt; of mind are the goals we looked for out of this investment, we wanted the success financially and personally to get our life back, we are still on that journey, this is not about us, ask the question, &lt;strong&gt;What can it do for me&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt; That's who really counts in this post. WE are happy to teach you the way from thinking to doing to succeeding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if you are prepared to get out of your comfort zone and develop incomes that can give you choices, could you be excited? Do what you want, when you want, wouldn't that be great?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for emails and encouragement, your comments have given me inspiration that you are looking at truly getting out of your rut. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you create change maybe you will like it a lot better than staying the same. If you want to be successful mix with successful people, the opposite will give you the opposite result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recommend this site to a friend, they may get something from it too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112579248731212181?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112579248731212181/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112579248731212181' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112579248731212181'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112579248731212181'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/resources-you-need-to-succeed.html' title='RESOURCES YOU NEED TO SUCCEED'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112540887002405138</id><published>2005-09-02T13:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-09-01T23:41:42.860-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT WHEN</title><content type='html'>I have been around networking for about fourteen years and I am still finding out how little I know about it, the power it can have to grow and change peoples lives, how much people fear it because they have been programmed from an early age or even recently that those things don't work. In my previous posts I touched subjects starting with acceptance, attitude, lack of vision, to just being lazy. All neatly packaged in the form of excuses raging from the inventive to the ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;From a general position I am bias to the business that I have been with for those fourteen years for several reasons, based on the success I have experienced. Like life, it has not been a bed of roses and it has been a journey with disappointments as well but isn't that what life is all about "The Journey".&lt;br /&gt;So now what does one do, the last thing I want is try to convince you about what you should do and what you want to do. This is about what is out there, it is about knowledge, opportunity, your desire, your persistence and commitment, all based on the solid foundation of your most treasured emotional goal in life. This is it!&lt;br /&gt;Your REASON to do that extra that makes you different from the rest. Ordinary people become EXTRAORDINARY because they won't settle for anything less than their dream, they are the winners that we admire, it could be a Michael Jordan or in business a Bill Gates, do you have a picture in your mind of a person that you admire for their achievements, what is the difference between that person and you? Now all the justifications pour out , I am not saying this to get in your face, it's all about understanding the difference. My question is "WHY NOT YOU?" what would you be prepared to invest in resources like time etc and would you be prepared to make it happen no matter what challenge. This has been the key to our success, with IQ you may have the mental ability but it is EQ that drives people way past all the barriers that life will confront them with, "E "standing for EMOTIONAL.&lt;br /&gt;Is your "EQ ":&lt;br /&gt;Your family, Their education, Your lifestyle being not just a living, is it security in retirement and who said you can't retire until you are 65, they lied to you, retire when you can afford to. The holidays, time and the money to travel, the style of home built where you want it, free of debt. Giving to a cause or charity that is close to your heart, that stirs your emotion because you feel good about giving any amount you want to, this is what EQ is all about, it is the unstoppable power that drives successful people to their full potential.&lt;br /&gt;WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT WHEN we can&lt;br /&gt;FLY TO SYDNEY FREE, I wonder&lt;br /&gt;WHICH WAY WILL I GO, we will take our&lt;br /&gt;BOOK OF THE MONTH to develop our&lt;br /&gt;CONSTANT AND NEVERENDING IMPROVEMENT because&lt;br /&gt;NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES so let's get to&lt;br /&gt;THE START&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am always happy to hear from my readers because you are entitled to your opinion too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life's journey is so short to let external forces control your direction, making a living for some can be like lift music, same old same old. ARE you looking for a change? If you want a different result, recognize and then develop the power within you to design your own life.&lt;br /&gt;YOU CAN DO IT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Share this with a friend, Email this link to them AND they can do it too.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112540887002405138?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.omegatrend.com/infoglueDeliverLive/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=784&amp;languageId=1&amp;contentId=-1' title='WOULDN&apos;T IT BE GREAT WHEN'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112540887002405138/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112540887002405138' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112540887002405138'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112540887002405138'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/09/wouldnt-it-be-great-when.html' title='WOULDN&apos;T IT BE GREAT WHEN'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112426504724833995</id><published>2005-08-19T20:29:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-28T07:31:43.253-07:00</updated><title type='text'>WHICH WAY WILL I GO</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/1600/Which%20way%20will%20I%20go3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/Which%20way%20will%20I%20go3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am always dumbstruck by the attitude towards Home Based Business. The overwhelming evidence of hearsay, the inexperienced experts that have failed because they did not prepare themselves nor their friends, did they have the right vehicle to pursue their dreams with or did they waste hard earned money in buying a position to gain advantage only to see it evaporate. What guarantee did they get, yes I said GUARANTEE, income guarantees are what makes the difference to any home based business. The reason why most people get interested in the first place is to make money, so how much work do I do and when I do that, what will I earn? Let's get it right! There is no such thing as a get rich quick scheme to start with, if your prepared to do the work and follow the system, you will earn the money, the harder and smarter you work the more you can make.&lt;br /&gt;So why do we get the same approach to get your attention, promoters are promising the world on a platter, the Ferrari, the mansion, etc, etc. Like all hungry Oliver's we want more please: In any quality home based business MAKE IT WORK, it is a career with disciplines and commitments. IT is not a lottery ticket. Some of the funny comments I have heard "I joined, when do I get my first check" or "all my friends have tried something like that" Tried what, did they dip the big toe in and give up, would they do that with their 9 to 5 job? Would they front up at work but just hang around and do nothing until pay day.&lt;br /&gt;If someone was prepared to pay up to $500,000 dollars a year, what would one be prepared to do? Because that is the catch everyone is looking for, the scam or whatever a person imagines it to be that will not make this work for them. The trap most people's minds develop is what can go wrong rather than how can they make this work . They are comfortable to stay the same because that's how it's been for years and they feel safe, change has too many risks and it would mean they would have to give up to get up.&lt;br /&gt;In a good home based business there is a support team with their main goal to help the new member succeed, there are successful people coaching for free a system that is proven which will increase the new member's income without risk. Compare that with the cut and thrust of the present situation at a job or general business, how many people would like to see failure so they can take advantage of the situation.&lt;br /&gt;It is unfortunate the average person creates the average statistically, the average house, the average car, the average income etc , so the minute they start thinking above average that creates a fear of not being accepted by their average friends because now they will be different to them, so how do they break away and get their dreams? There are no easy answers but it does boil down to this.&lt;br /&gt;I have listed a simple ten simple questions, would like to give it a go? Be honest with yourself and write down your answers, at the end you can work out your score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Do you want to have financial freedom?&lt;br /&gt;2. Do you want to earn it? and when, date etc.&lt;br /&gt;3. Are you prepared to change the way you think?&lt;br /&gt;4. Are you passionate about your goals?&lt;br /&gt;5. Do you want to help others succeed?&lt;br /&gt;6. Do you want to live the better lifestyle than the people around you?&lt;br /&gt;7. Do you beleive it before you see it?&lt;br /&gt;8. Are you looking for a better deal from life?&lt;br /&gt;9. Are you an emotional person?&lt;br /&gt;10. If you lived your life and failed to reach your dreams would it matter to you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have answered honestly, give yourself 10 points for each YES and 5 points for each NO and zero for unanswered. In my next blog some of the answers to these questions will be expanded.&lt;br /&gt;If you would like more info feel free to send me a email and I will give you more detail about the questions and if they could mean something to you.&lt;br /&gt;I will leave you with a very simple rule about contacting me; your info is private and not passed on to anyone, I do not contact anyone in return unless given their expressed permission.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112426504724833995?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112426504724833995/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112426504724833995' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112426504724833995'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112426504724833995'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/08/which-way-will-i-go.html' title='WHICH WAY WILL I GO'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112358926067043144</id><published>2005-08-09T04:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-17T00:08:50.200-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Book Of the Month</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/1600/Who%20moved%20my%20cheese.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/400/Who%20moved%20my%20cheese.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always found reading a vital part of any personal development process. In the busy lifestyle of today we seem to pick up a magazine or paper to get the info on news or sports, so what have you really learnt? How will it prepare you for the rest of your life? In Australia we have an old saying "she'll be right mate" translated it will all work out later, but that is waiting for a disaster so you can look for the solution. The disaster is that most people live with 19th century industrial thinking and expecting a great 21st century lifestyle, time and freedom, that's why most companies research has uncovered that time not money is rated very high in the wish lists of new job applications. So what have you read lately that has inspired and nurtured personal growth, then here is a little gem, not a new book but a very easy read with simple message from Dr Spencer Johnson the author. &lt;a href="http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/"&gt;http://www.randomhouse.co.uk/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHO MOVED MY CHEESE has you thinking about your present and future.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112358926067043144?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112358926067043144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112358926067043144' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112358926067043144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112358926067043144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/08/book-of-month.html' title='Book Of the Month'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112330381844375318</id><published>2005-08-05T20:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-12T09:51:21.526-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Constant And Neverending Improvement</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;CANI Principal&lt;br /&gt;We have had to really stretch this month, the realization of the scale of opportunity is exciting, if your into fast cars you could compare it to being put in control of the latest Ferrari with no holds barred, an incredible temptation to let loose but what would be the consequences, so when it's time to relate the experience of the power yet maintain the discipline, how would you put it into words. I have noticed in our personal and business life that because of the our activity, being busy but having balance in our lives, a couple of strange events and encounters have started happening, it's as if people have felt something coming from us, a power of synergy, a bit like the unbridled power and handling of a thoroughbred racing machine, you can managed to gain trust in it because the package is in control.&lt;br /&gt;How we gain balance in our lives is to make sure that you smell the roses, through this business we have been invited to attend travel seminars to some great destinations. In November we are off to Cairns, North Queensland Australia. It is really outstanding that anyone reading this blog could be with us in Cairns too, that's how powerful this program is, so here are some shots of our previous travel seminars and if you would like to know more just drop me a line.&lt;br /&gt;Hamilton Island&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/1600/Hamilton%20Island.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 408px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 234px" height="213" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/Hamilton%20Island.jpg" width="332" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; We enjoyed sharing some wonderful times swimming amongst huge groper fish and tropical coral reefs and with some fantastic new friends. The most important point that we learned was none of this would have happened if we had listened to people that did not agree with us to change direction of our lives,  we then would be like them, complaining about being in the same place doing the same things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My message from this post is to seek change, explore the possibilities and guess what your life will be different. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112330381844375318?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112330381844375318/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112330381844375318' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112330381844375318'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112330381844375318'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/08/constant-and-neverending-improvement.html' title='Constant And Neverending Improvement'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-112043992600975199</id><published>2005-07-03T17:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-07-08T15:46:51.573-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes</title><content type='html'>1st of July came and now I have been online talking to people from all the corners of the world. It has been a steep learning curve which was helped by my involvement with our opening in Malaysia 1997 to 1998. Our work in Malaysia created the link and successful leaders to move into Singapore and now into Hong Kong and the Philippines. At this stage members have taken two paths, one path is to go where no man or woman has gone before with this business opportunity, the second option was to communicate over the web developing solid relationships of trust.&lt;br /&gt;My approach six years ago was to be the pioneer, as in the first path and after 2 years established a substantial business that spans 4 countries. This time however with technology everyone is closer than ever before. The internet has opened up the globe, over the net telephony is made it possible for some me to have 65 international conversations in the past three days, all for free. ( speak to me on &lt;a href="http://www.skype.com"&gt;www.skype.com&lt;/a&gt; to contact, urdreamwizard). Linked to this is our Global presentation that is so easy to explain PERSONALLY, helping to understand the impact of what more time and money means to the interested person on the other side of the world.&lt;br /&gt;I am excited by the results and encouraged to post this earlier than I expected. Official business presentations have been established in Manila and Cebu on a weekly basis and soon will be in all the other 5 new countries of operation. I will have links set up which will set out these dates and places so keep coming back to check out what's new.&lt;br /&gt;One week of growth do you want to come with us and realize your dreams, are you looking for a way to change the result and don't want to risk all, spend the time and send me an email john_gaudio@iprimus.com.au and let's get it happening for you. The next post we will get more info and pictures but there is heaps of info in all the links, HAVE A GREAT READ but do something about it. I am waiting to hear from you and look forward to help get you on your way to financial freedom.   HAVE THE TIME AND THE MONEY!!!    It is your choice.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-112043992600975199?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/112043992600975199/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=112043992600975199' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112043992600975199'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/112043992600975199'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/07/nothing-changes-if-nothing-changes.html' title='Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13660912.post-111880111452001873</id><published>2005-06-14T18:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-06-14T23:11:59.570-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Start</title><content type='html'>Well I am brand new at blogging so this is the start. I wanted to get out there and share what I do with as many people as possible. So I hit the WEB and Search and I found some real surprises. From a short but very informative chat I meet another John Gaudio residing in Colorado, very well versed in blogging and I got some fantastic support. Go to &lt;a href="http://www.abetterblogsite.com"&gt;http://www.abetterblogsite.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks John, I plan to help anyone out there understand the changing forces in my industry by dispelling the old thinking around network marketing. If you would like to be keep up to date with the FACTS and the progress as we are opening operations July 1 2005, in United States, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Phillipines, South Africa, Brunie, we already operate in Australia, New Zealand, Maylaysia and Singapore. You can operate from any of the countries and build in all. Stay posted I will work out how to get my links up and running.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;Creating Positive Change&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nicolo Machiavelli said "There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."&lt;br /&gt;Understanding change is a natural process, a persons progress depends on their ability to evaluate new ideas, welcoming change rather than staying within their comfort zone.&lt;br /&gt;1. Attitude ?&lt;br /&gt;Are you ready to change your habits, as this impacts your attitude.&lt;br /&gt;2. Action ?&lt;br /&gt;No pain no gain, or is this your resistance to change because now you have to do more.&lt;br /&gt;3. Acceptance ?&lt;br /&gt;Our fears can be a worst enemy, what will people think of you. Tradition prejudice and&lt;br /&gt;apathy are the enemy of accepting change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are the sum total of all your choices to date, are you satisfied where you are at this moment? if you are ready lets move into the next stage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13660912-111880111452001873?l=abetterbusiness.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/feeds/111880111452001873/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=13660912&amp;postID=111880111452001873' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/111880111452001873'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/13660912/posts/default/111880111452001873'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://abetterbusiness.blogspot.com/2005/06/start_14.html' title='The Start'/><author><name>John and Robyn Gaudio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474422281907501691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='21' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/8152/1209/320/DSC001411.JPG'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
