This is on marketing your business an area I have been struggling with for some time.

I am determined this year to be successful in my marketing efforts.

I do believe i have found a solution:

Power List Marketing caught my eye recently.  It was promoted to me as the total and complete marketers site, allowing you to capture names and email addresses from every click on the net and after looking into it - I have to say I am impressed.

I joined and took the upgrades - I figured, they offer a money back guarantee so why not..? You are not in any way required to take the upgrades to get the benefits of the site. However, they do multiply the benefits, I have found.

What a concept - I must say.

The building of a list online is perhaps one of the most important skills you can ever have and this site is the most incredibly easy to use system to literally explode your list.

This benefits WHATEVER you promote.

No matter if it is a Clickbank product, a matrix, an MLM or ANYTHING. Even Google ad words and 'traditional' style of marketing can reap huge benefits from this site.

You get to create your own opt in lists on total autopilot.

Now there have been other sites that have done this, but none that then throw in a TOTAL Auto-responder system and Email marketing follow up system as well.

The 'Secret Weapon' Sales system is a method for showing FULL PAGE ads -

And not just from clicks on your own links - but from clicks on links across the whole network and in fact across the ENTIRE INTERNET!!

Imagine that -

Totally targeted, unblock-able, Full page ad views from people that have already said they are interested.....

That alone is going to put a lot of dough in my pocket over the years to come.

And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Power List Marketing (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Power List Marketing image on the Full Page ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Power List Marketing also.

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big down-line yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, My list is growing at a rate I have never seen before, and my ads got displayed. Power List Marketing even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--down-line emailing. You can email your down-line with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Power List Marketing really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your down-line. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. They even give you an instant 250 Member down-line to mail to - before your first referral, but... THE TOP LEVEL IS WHERE TO BE FOR SERIOUS MARKETERS - A GUARANTEED 3000 MEMBER MAIL OUT COMES WITH THE PACKAGE... Whoa!

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Power List Marketing. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to explode their list and benefit from some excellent advertising.

See it and join here: (I negotiated to give anyone that joins through my link, instant EXECUTIVE membership, but this is not forever, so make haste)

Over the years I've started to stay away from Javx if fact can't remember when I bought my last bottle.

This information came across from an inlaw and has been circulating around the internet for some time.

It's still good information to share:

Here are the benefits of  little old bottle of 3% peroxide you can get for under $1.00 at any drug store.

What does bleach cost?

"Did you also know bleach was invented in the late 40's? It's chlorine, folks! And it was used to kill our troops.

 "Peroxide was invented during WWI. It was used to save and help cleanse the needs of our troops and hospitals. Please think about this:

1. Take one capful (the little white cap that comes with the bottle) and hold in your mouth for 10 minutes daily, then spit it out. (I do it when I bathe.)  No more canker sores, and your teeth will be whiter without expensive pastes. Use it instead of mouthwash.

 2. Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep them free of germs.

3. Clean your counters and table tops with peroxide to kill germs and leave a fresh smell. Simply put a little on your dishrag when you wipe, or spray it on the counters.

 4. After rinsing off your wooden cutting board, pour peroxide on it to kill salmonella and other bacteria.

5. Fungus on feet sprayed a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water on them (especially the toes) every night and let dry.

 6. Soak any infections or cuts in 3% peroxide for five to ten minutes several times a day.

 7. Fill a spray bottle with a 50/50 mixture of peroxide and water and keep it in every bathroom to disinfect without harming your septic system like bleach or most other disinfectants will.

8. Tilt your head back and spray into nostrils with your 50/50 mixture whenever you have a cold, plugged sinus. It will bubble and help to kill the bacteria. Hold for a few minutes, and then blow your nose into a tissue.

 9. If you have a terrible toothache and cannot get to a dentist right away, put a capful of 3% peroxide into your mouth and hold it for ten minutes several times a day. The pain will lessen greatly.

10. Put half a bottle of peroxide in your bath to help rid boils, fungus, or other skin infections.

11. You can also add a cup of peroxide instead of bleach to a load of whites in your laundry to whiten them. If there is blood on clothing, pour it directly on the soiled spot. Let it sit for a minute, then rub it and rinse with cold water. Repeat if necessary.

12. I use peroxide to clean my mirrors. There is no smearing, which is why I love it so much for this.

"I could go on and on. It is a little brown bottle no home should be without! "With prices of most necessities rising, I'm glad there's a way to save tons of money in such a simple, healthy manner!"

 This information really woke me up. I hope you gain something from it, too.

Pass this on .. And on .... And on!

I found this very interesting article in my Adlandpro newsletter today I want to share.    If you're like me marketing your business can be difficult.  How do I say the right thing to get the attention I need to better promote product or service?  It is expressed much better than I can put it.  Thanks to the author I needed this today.

Marketing Communications - What Do You Have to Say to Get Their Attention?

by Bonita L. Richter

What do you have to say to get your client's attention? What if what you had to tell them is critical to their success, and you have to get the message across, how would you say your marketing message to make sure they paid attention to you?

As business owners, and marketers, we are all faced with the dilemma about how to design a marketing message will be heard amidst the clamor of every other marketing message out there.

"If I could have your attention, I would love to point out the basic components in a marketing strategy that will help you grow your business."

Have you heard this sound bite before? Did you already mentally tune out? Thought so... What if I said to you:

"Top-earning coaches/consultants do this one simple thing every day to grow their business."

Did this statement create more interest, and curiosity in you? The most basic way of getting someone's attention is to break the pattern of predictable, and expected behavior. Common sense, or predictable messages, don't attract attention because a person intuitively already 'gets' what they hear. People "tune out" because they've heard the same message many times before, and aren't expecting any new information.

To get peoples' attention, avoid the generic story everyone else is saying, and say something unexpected. So, what are the key elements in getting peoples' attention, and just as important, how do you keep their attention once you get it?

You do this by stirring two essential emotions: surprise and interest.

Surprise

When our 'guessing machines' fail at predicting what we expect to happen next, this creates...

You do this by stirring two essential emotions: surprise and interest.

Surprise

When our 'guessing machines' fail at predicting what we expect to happen next, this creates the emotion of surprise.

Being surprised jolts us to attention, because we want to pay attention to learn about something we 'missed.' Unexpected, surprising ideas are more likely to stick in our brains because they force us to pay attention and think. We, as humans, want to find the answer, to solve the question of why we were surprised.

Think about the core, singular point you want to get across to your clients, such as, 1) how to increase sales, 2) how to get healthier, 3) how to get good grades, and so on. Break a pattern, stump people's guessing machines about what they think you will say, and state something surprising and unexpected about the topic or situation.

Interest

To keep someone's interest once you have it, the easiest way is to point out, or 'open a gap' in a person's knowledge. You do this by generating curiosity, or creating a mystery.

You generate curiosity, and create a mystery by posing questions that lead the reader to think, What don't I know that other people know?, What will happen next? How will it end? Curiosity occurs when we feel a gap in our knowledge. You, as a marketer, must open a gap in knowledge, before you close it with facts.

Our tendency is to tell people the facts. However, you must first convince them they need these facts. The idea is to get their interest, highlight some specific knowledge they're missing, through:

1. Posing a question (How many moons does Jupiter have?)

2. Pointing out a knowledge gap (Which restaurant is the cleanest in ________?)

3. Presenting them with situations that have unknown resolutions (Who will win the Men's Figure Skating competition in the Olympics?)

To create interest is all about finding a way to spark and elevate interest about a particular situation or topic; and, by adding an element of surprise and unexpected behavior into your marketing communications, you'll be able to successfully attract more of your desired clients' attention!

I always get asked how do I stay fit when traveling on a holiday?  Posture and alignment I stress in every class I teach sometime feel like a broken record but have found it does leave a lasting memory on all my participants in a very positive way.  Helpful ways to staf safe and maintain your fitness while having fun.

Here is a great suggestion from Free workout guides I added to my workouts that work -  link 1BritePlaceToShop:

Align Your Spine Hips & Shoulders

Your shoulders, hips, knees, and back are the areas that are most prone to injury when they are weak and out of alignment.

Imagine having your adventure vacation ruined because of a torn rotator cuff, twisted ankle, crippling hip or low back pain, or torn knee ligaments. Even the most fit people can get seriously injured if their bodies are out of alignment.

Being out of alignment is like being the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Imagine what would happen if they piled more bricks on top of that tower. The structure would probably topple over and break to pieces. Same goes for your body. Putting extra strain on a mis-aligned body with demanding physical pursuits can lead to painful injuries that will stay with you forever.

Want to hike all the best trails in Maui and Oahu without getting hurt or sore? Start stretching 10 minutes every day to bring your spine, hips, and shoulders into alignment with each other. Try my Best Flexibility Exercises Routine http://www.freeworkoutsguide.com/bestflexibilityexercises.html

This is a very good resource I use it and encourage you to don't real good free information very often.  Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed the last blog we all need a little helping hand from a professional once in a while.  Good to know who are the professionals we can count on.

I found this article today as always can't stress the importance of exercise here's a very good reason why.

From Stone Health Newsletter Breaking Health News:

For sedentary postmenopausal women, moderate to vigorous exercise for a year reduced levels of estradiol, researchers said.

The reductions, compared with those achieved by controls, were modest but significant and were consistent with a lower risk for breast cancer, according to Christine Friedenreich, PhD, of Alberta Health Services in Calgary, and colleagues.

The finding, from a randomized trial, is evidence that such women -- sedentary and mostly overweight -- can "achieve and sustain high levels of aerobic exercise," the researchers reported online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

Observation suggests that increased physical activity is linked to lower breast cancer risk, but exactly how remains unclear, the researchers noted. One plausible mechanism, they said in the journal, is modification of the sex hormones.

To investigate the issue, they enrolled 320 postmenopausal women, ages 50 to 74, in a one-year trial; 160 women were randomly assigned to 225 minutes a week of aerobic exercise, the remaining 160 maintained their usual level of activity.

My thanks to Amanda one of my readers.  I really didn't know I had readers.  This is so exciting after watching Julie & Julia it really made me think about how much time I was putting into blogging.  Amanda also has inspired me to share & be more creative, making time to put full effort into this practice.

Article in form of a little guide to help readers experiencing with this topic.

A nutritionist is a health care professional who assists individuals or groups of individuals (such as a sports team) to achieve their health and nutrition goals.

In some cases, nutritionists may also be found at large institutions, such as hospitals or schools, where they assess the facility's dietary needs and create appropriate meal plans.

A nutritionist relies upon the following skills:

* Knowledge and understanding of nutrition: Most professional nutritionists are required by state guidelines to have graduated from an accredited four-year college or university with a Bachelor's degree in nutrition or dietetics.

This education gives them an in-depth understanding of human physiology, biology, and nutrition; as well as a rudimentary understanding of pharmacology, epidemiology and public health matters, chemistry and biochemistry, psychology, and kinesiology.

* People skills: As most nutritionists work closely with clients or patients to develop appropriate dietary plans for their individual situation, it's essential that nutritionists have good people skills.

They need to be able to listen to their clients to understand their needs and wishes; they need to be able to clearly explain to their clients how to implement a dietary plan; and they need to “read between the lines” in order to pick up on non-verbal cues their clients give them.

* Critical thinking and problem-solving: Nutritionists need to be able to assess a client's current physical and dietary condition, and from that initial assessment, the nutritionist needs to recommend appropriate changes.

A nutritionist needs to see all sides of a nutritional plan clearly, taking into account any physical conditions a client might have (such as diabetes or high blood pressure), cultural restrictions on diet (for example, some religions dictate a vegetarian diet), and an individual's personal temperament in order to create a dietary plan to meet their needs.

* Time management and organizational skills: Because many nutritionists work with individuals as a consultant, just like a doctor, a nutritionist needs to manage his or her time well.

Nutritionists need to be able to schedule clients without overbooking, and organize their client information in such a way that they can find it again quickly and easily.

* Using medical and scientific equipment: In the course of their work, nutritionists will often rely upon various pieces of medical and/or scientific equipment, including but not limited to: computers and computer software (such as medical software and Microsoft Office programs), bioelectric impedance machines, skinfold calipers for skinfold measurements, exercise equipment, and various bodyweight scales, including hydrostatic weighing machines.

If you have an interest in nutrition and you have these skills (or can learn them), becoming a nutritionist might be an excellent career choice for you.

    Interesting Article today from Mercola.com - Take control of your health

Memory loss can make you 5-7 times more likely to get dementia. But clinical trials have proven a fading memory is NOT inevitable & can be conquered without drugs.  Interesting statement when I watch TV I feel we are being pushed by many companies to take drugs for conditions - with huge side effects.

Moderate physical activity performed in midlife or later appears to be associated with a reduced risk of mild cognitive impairment -- and a six-month high-intensity aerobic exercise program can improve cognitive function in individuals who already have the condition.

Each year, 10 percent to 15 percent of individuals with mild cognitive impairment will develop dementia, as compared with 1 percent to 2 percent of the general population.

Physical exercise may protect against mild cognitive impairment by means of the production of nerve-protecting compounds, greater blood flow to the brain, improved development and survival of neurons and the decreased risk of heart and blood vessel diseases.

I found this article on Yoga Jouranls interesting want to share. 

 I just started with a Speed swimming group today.  As a past National Life Guard and Award of Merit swimmer I know how important it is to learn how to prevent injury.  I wish there was more yoga taught when I was young.   Being aware of the body's messages and sounds to prevent chronic joint pain will keep one safe.

Yoga, with its emphasis on balance and alignment, is great dryland training for swimmers.

By Baron Baptiste and Kathleen Finn Mendola

Gentle on the joints, forgiving of injuries and other physical limitations, and deeply relaxing, swimming and yoga, when practiced together, unite their strengths, making for a more balanced athlete.

The minimal gravity effect of swimming is appealing to those who suffer from injury that precludes them from high-impact movement, as well as pregnant women, people with chronic joint pain, and the elderly. Logging laps in the pool undoubtedly provides physical and psychological benefits. But too much time spent in the water without counteracting or opposing activities can be detrimental, resulting in body misalignment and lack of bone strength.

Body alignment, integral to all sports performance, is often thrown off kilter in swimmers, says Leslie Sims, a former national swim coach who is currently a yoga teacher at "now YOGA" and head coach at Club Swim in Los Altos and Palo Alto, California. This is due to overdevelopment of the front of the body, which occurs from chronic overuse in three of the four basic swim strokes—butterfly, breast, and freestyle. Because a swimmer's pectorals are predominantly in a contracted state, the opposing fascia (where muscle attaches to bone) of the rhomboids is weakened. Because the backstroke can counteract some of the repetitive stroke motions that lead to such muscle imbalance, Sims instructs her swim students to perform the backstroke at the end of every workout. Often just doing the backstroke isn't enough, however. Learning proper alignment through a consistent yoga practice can help tremendously, Sims says.

The biggest drawback to a fitness routine based solely on water sports is that the body can't get stronger without gravity. Just as a coiled spring gets its force from resistance, the body needs stress to build strength in muscle and bone. Bone density, in particular, is developed through low- and high-impact weight-bearing exercise like running, walking, bicycling, dance, and yoga. This is an especially unfortunate drawback for women, who are most at risk for developing osteoporosis, a disease marked by a gradual weakening and thinning of the bones.

Laps and Asanas

Competitive swimmers call it "dryland training"—incorporating other sports into an exercise regimen to compensate for what is missing in a primary workout. A yoga practice can complement even an amateur's swim routine by introducing two legs of the fitness triad—strength building and flexibility. Asanas (postures) utilize body weight as a powerful source of resistance: Outside of the water, gravity helps to build strength and muscle. In addition, postures take the body through a full range of motion, encouraging flexible, supple muscles that are less prone to injury.

Consistent practice of yoga also yields extended muscles, as opposed to the contracted, compact muscles associated with running or cycling. And extended muscles are physiologically necessary for a swimmer: To be efficient in the water, every stroke and kick demands a full extension of the arm and leg. When executing all four strokes, swimmers propel themselves by extending and contracting from the tips of their fingers to the ends of their toes.

Many competitive swimmers run to increase aerobic conditioning—the third leg of the fitness triad—because effective aerobic training requires more than just a few laps in the pool. "If you just casually swim laps, chances are you'll be unable to bring your heart rate up high enough and sustain it long enough to gain significant aerobic conditioning," says Sims. "By incorporating the four basic strokes when you swim—breast, freestyle, butterfly, and backstroke—you can get a full body workout. However, achieving a cardiovascular workout in the pool is more challenging. You must use interval training—swimming laps at a vigorous pace against a clock."

In Sims' work with swimmers, she focuses on key body areas and applies some of what she calls "universal principles" of asanas to help them ward off injury and improve performance:

Shoulder Blades: In Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward-Facing Dog) and Urdhva Mukha Svanasana (Upward-Facing Dog), your instructor may tell you that the shoulder blades need to drop down the back. The same principle applies in swimming, where the shoulders create the biggest problems. Rotator cuff injuries or shoulder tendonitis (also called "swimmer's shoulder") occur when the rhomboids are not held in place when the arm is raised in freestyle stroke. Instead of the muscle carrying the weight of the arm, the tendon bears the burden. Over time the tendon becomes frayed and aggravated.

Hips: Baddha Konasana (Bound Angle Pose), with the soles of the feet touching together and the outsides of the knees flat on the floor, demonstrates a healthy external rotation of the hip. For many people, though, the hips remain locked and stiff. In a swimmer, this congestion can manifest in a faulty breaststroke kick. Without free, loose hips, it's difficult to complete this stroke effectively and efficiently.

Ankles: In all of yoga's standing poses, it's important to place the foot on the ground in order to get full extension, and flexible ankles allow the foot to rest solidly on the ground. Similarly, swimmers use the ankles as the foundation of movement—propelling the body forward with a kick. The top of the foot should hit the water as if in Virasana (Hero Pose)—at 180 degrees. Sims will often work with runners who have such severe ankle stiffness that their kick literally pulls them backwards—"like trying to lift a plane off the ground with the flaps down."

Swimming to Samadhi

Both yogis and swimmers know about using the breath to move the body. Yogis use the breath to encourage the opening and lengthening of stubborn muscle groups, and the cleansing of physical and emotional toxins. Deep, full breathing enhances yoga asanas and increases circulation and cardiovascular capacity. Being immersed in the water makes this process easier, as water puts pressure on the lungs to expel excess air and allows fresh new prana to enter the body.

"All breathing in swimming should be done in an open chest position," says Sims. Just as yogis often exert effort on the inhalation and relax on the exhalation in asana practice, swimmers inhale before submerging, then utilize the extended exhalation to follow through on each stroke, propelling themselves through the water. The stroke facilitates the cycle of breath, with the rhythm modified according to each individual. In freestyle, swimmers are encouraged to become aware of alignment and pattern their breath cycles so that the head turns to breathe on alternating sides of the body. Not practicing this "bilateral breathing," Sims says, would be like doing Trikonasana (Triangle Pose) on only one side of the body.

It makes sense that breath awareness factors into good swimming. After all, swimming is a sport in which the senses are withdrawn and awareness is pulled inward. For some people, Sims adds, because "you are covered with water, with little sensory ability, little sound, little visual stimulation...it's a sense of the fifth limb of yoga—pratyahara," literally, a gathering toward oneself.
