Today two of my children serve their country.  My son Zeke is in the Air Force.  He is 25 and has done four tours of duty in Afghanistan.  As I am writing this he is on a flight home.  Pattie and I are so excited he will be with us for Thanksgiving this year.

My daughter Patricia (22) is an MP in the Army National Guard.  Her unit is now serving in Afghanistan also.  As you might imagine, I am very proud of my kids, words simply cannot express how much.  However, as a father, I am constantly in fear for their lives when they are 6000 miles away and I can’t be there to protect them.

Parenting is a blessing and a curse at the same time.  Your kids give you the greatest of joy all the time and at times, they give you the greatest of worry.  I guess that is all part of love.  May God keep them safe.  May God keep all our children safe in these difficult times.

1. Smile…really, practice smiling more often.  It not only increases your face value, it makes you feel more happy.  When you’re on the phone either with a friend or at work…smile.  When you are waiting in line, smile.  At the bank or grocery store, smile.  Smile at your co-workers.  Heck, even try smiling at your boss.  I promise, this one little thing will improve your life dramatically.  And as the song goes…”When you’re smiling, when your smiling, the whole world smiles with you.”

2. Speaking of songs; Sing!  Zig Zigler once said that “We don’t sing because we’re happy, we’re happy because we sing.”  Sing in the shower, sing in your car on the way to work or on the way to anywhere.  Sing in church.  Sing at the top of your voice at birthday parties.  Sing.  A song a day keeps the doctor away.

3. Sign up for a free internet joke service.  Read at least one new joke each day.  Pass it on.  If you have friends that will tolerate your singing, surely they’ll listen to your joke too.

4.  Laugh often, laugh out loud.  Laughing is exceptionally good for you.  The more you choose to laugh the happier you are.  Don’t just laugh like a secret agent, belly laugh.  Laugh like you mean it.  Make it a point to laugh for 5 minutes every day.

5.  Rent and watch a funny movie at least once a week, once a day if you can.  It doesn’t have to be current.  I love Steve Martin’s “The Jerk.”  I love Peter Sellars’ “The Party.”  I love funny movies.  Instead of watching the news, watch a funny movie.  Romantic comedies are good too.

6.  Tell at least 1 person per day that you love them.  Advanced happiness group; tell at least three people per day that you love them.  Yes, this will make you happy.  It won’t hurt those that you tell you love them either.  Spreading happiness is a bonus.

7.  And along the line of spreading happiness; do something nice for someone every day.  It could be as small as walking a boy scout across the street.  Or paying the toll for someone behind you at the booth.  Next time you have a conversation and someone’s name comes up, say something nice about them.  Practice talking nice about other people.  Carry someones groceries out, open a door, give up your place in the grocery line to someone with only one or two items.  Random acts of kindness will make you happy.

So there they are, 7 secrets to living a longer, happier life.  Just so you don’t get the wrong idea about me; no I am not being benevolent in writing this and sharing it with you.  Well, maybe a little. But, remember #7, this is my random act of kindness just for you for today.

Live long and feel great,

Yes, it’s true, you can break your addiction to corporate servitude without gaining weight.  Even if you currently can’t live without 4 inadequate paychecks a month, you can have the life of your dreams, and be thin too!  If that were all I was offering you’d have to grab it before it’s all gone…but wait, there’s more!

With this offer you also get to send your kids to the best schools without joining the janitorial staff, have money left over at the end of each month and take vacations without staying with relatives!  But don’t act yet…there’s even more!

If you go see my online movie right now, I’ll even throw in the 15 minutes it takes to watch it for free!  You won’t have to pay for a theater ticket, popcorn (cuz I’m not giving you any) or even shipping and handling.  You get to sit right there in the comfort of your very own chair and experience the wonders of my terrible special effects and bad movie making skills.

This will be amazing!  Are you ready now for the experience of your life?  Well here it is:  Take Me To The Dadgum Movie Already!

This is the part where you click on the link and go see the movie…

So what’s the challenge?  Well, for the most part, you don’t want to talk to your friends, neighbors and relatives and you don’t want to cold call strangers.  Since no one is calling you to say “Can I join you in your home based business” you’re having a tough time.

That is why we created the Leverage leaders system.  We hire people who sift through a bunch of cold leads to find those interested in a home based business today.  Then we send them to our online movie.  After they watch our movie and fill out our online form, we introduce them to you.

Wouldn’t you rather speak with highly interested prospects?  We can introduce them to you!

Life truly can have so much meaning on a daily basis. Every vacation I’ve taken over the last 20 years has been on cruises or at luxury resorts, all sponsored by some home based business function. All of them were fabulous, all of them we took private time before and after the event, all of them were exciting. Plus, we’ve taken at least two or three of these vacations every year. I mean it when I say that I’ll see you on the beaches of the world.

If your life is a contrast to this, and you love it, that’s awesome. But if you find yourself running out of money before the end of the month, if you find yourself loving Fridays but hating Mondays, if you find yourself living your nightmares rather than your dreams; maybe you should check out home based business.

In life, you get to choose to be happy or sad. Most people don’t do that well. Home based business makes us happy. The other great thing about home based business is that you can start part time so you don’t have to give up that sadness all at once.

Here is how you can…

If they made a remake of Dustin Hoffman’s “The Graduate” today, nobody would be saying the wave of the future is plastics.

Red Bull® was introduced to the United States market in 1997 and has never looked back. Energy drinks are one of the fastest growing segments of the market everywhere in the world, and will be for the next several decades.

Why?

Because today’s young adults are looking for every edge just to compete in today’s job market. They have to, it’s fierce out there. If you’re a baby-boomer like me, you may not realize that students now have to know about ten times more by 8th grade than we did when we graduated from high school. That competition becomes greater and greater every year.

With that, young adults are turning more each year to energy drinks just to keep up. Products like Red Bull®, Monster®, Rock Star® and Full Throttle® see their sales increase each and every year. I expect to see the energy drink industry to grow from its current 12 billion in annual sales to over 35 billion by the end of 2020.

The Edge…

No doubt, the energy drink revolution presents a huge opportunity for all of us. But how do we take advantage of it? Great question, I’m so glad you asked that one. Back a couple decades ago a fellow by the name of Al Gore invented something called the internet. Ok it may not have been Al Gore, but the internet exists none the less.  Now over a billion people are using it.

Today with the advent of social networking sites, inexpensive worldwide distribution and seamless international compensation systems, home based business entrepreneurs actually have the advantage over the corporate giants.

Word of mouth advertising has always been the most powerful way of passing on valuable information. We simply trust each other far more than we trust television or other media commercials. Super Bowl commercials may make us laugh, but do they make us buy? Sometimes, but not anywhere near in the percentages that friends telling friends does.

Price Point…This is Amazing

If you know anything about home based business or network marketing, you know that products often are higher priced than what you see in the retail market place. You know that a small box of laundry soap will cost you $10 instead of $5, a bottle of vitamins will cost you $20 instead of $6. Everything you buy from a network marketer is more expensive! Until now…

Our energy drinks have a wholesale price point at or below what retail stores pay for Red Bull® or Monster®. What does that mean? It means we can help you become a distributor and you can buy energy drinks for less than you can buy in stores, a lot less. And, you can even set up stores as retailers for our product, and you make money off of their retail sales!

A billion dollar company…

Energy Drinks Are Everywhere, From zero to 12 billion in almost no time. Many times when talking about their network marketing company, you will hear distributors say “This is the next billion dollar giant!” Frankly, there are only about a dozen billion dollar giants. It isn’t like there won’t be any more, but there would have to be something awfully special driving it.

With another 25 billion dollars per year growth in the next decade, an energy drink company certainly could do it. You know what though…a 500 million dollar company would make you, me, our kids and our grand kids pretty darn wealthy if we took advantage of it. It doesn’t have to be a billion dollar company for us to be set for life, it just has to make sense.

With a good internationally seamless compensation plan so you can grow worldwide, and a growth product in a growth industry, a lot can be accomplished. It couldn’t be a me-too product though. There would have to be something special about the energy drink.

A different kind of energy drink…

Most people would tell you that energy drinks aren’t good for you. They have too much caffeine and sugar in them. That is probably true of most drinks you’ll find behind the counter of your local convenience market. Ours, on the other hand, IS good for you.

It has a 4300 anti-oxidant rating compared to about 300 for a glass of orange juice. That’s a lot of anti-oxidants! It is also made with all natural ingredients. You’ll begin to feel a nice steady flow of energy in the first ten minutes after you drink it, and it lasts for four to five hours.

Because it’s natural, it’s even safe to drink several per day if you like. This is a different kind of energy drink. Ask me for a FREE sample, I’d be glad to let you try it too!

Do you Tweet? Well you ought to. With Twitter you can build a group of like minded people in a heart beat. Most people, if you follow them, they’ll follow you back. You can build a following of 50 or 100 people that you can bounce ideas off of, chat with, give advice to…a trusted advisory board, if you will.

What does this marvelous invention cost you? Zero dollars per month. And that includes all state and local taxes. It’s amazing what you can learn 140 characters at a time. If you need more information from someone, you can private message them.

Whether you will be just starting, or you’re a seasoned pro, Follow Me also, I look forward to getting to know you.

Maybe I am totally off base here but aren’t most women warriors? If it’s true that all women fit in to one of the categories above, they certainly have to be warriors to make the right things happen for their families. What about professional women? Many have had to compete in a world run by good old boys. They need to be warriors too.

My point is, women may smell nicer then men do, but often they need to be tougher at the same time. In fact, quite often, they are. So ladies, you might have been brought up to let the guy ask you out first, maybe you give him hints until it’s his idea, maybe you do have a nurturing streak, but there is a warrior inside you.

That warrior is who will determine your success in life. That warrior is the one who will build a huge home based business. Embrace your inner warrior.

Ok, so I’m finished being a chauvinist pig now. I hope you got my point.

Over the years we get tied up in bills and having to use credit to keep up with that awful Jones family. Vacations become staycations, a new BMW becomes a used Chevy and a 4000 square foot dream house becomes a huge mortgage on a 1500 square foot 80′s fixer upper with a basement. As life changes, we get older. Older means we quit dreaming because in our minds thoughts of the future don’t go with thoughts of how great it’s going to be.

Well, I’ve discovered a solution. It’s really more like the fountain of youth and it works every time. It’s called home based business or network marketing. I’ve noticed that no matter how old we are when we start our home based business, that dream mechanism kicks in. As we start to dream again, we start feeling younger, more vibrant, 17 again. There is just something about having something great to look forward to every morning.

It’s true…The best part of waking up is a home based business in your cup! If you haven’t tried it, you’re really missing out on something special.

It’s true, nobody wants to give you a list of all their friends, neighbors and relatives.

Nobody wants to attend a bunch of meetings all the time!

And nobody wants to do a bunch of cold calling!

Yet here you are asking them to…Sorry buddy, but you stink!

Want to hear “Gee, your Home Based Business smells terrific!”?

Check out my short online movie….it smells terrific!
