Twilight Racing

Earlier this week I  took part in the bi monthly twilight sailing at Sutera Harbour Marina. Crews from visiting  yachts are invited to take part in this fun even, sailing Optimist dinghies. It makes quite an amusing spectacle  seeing the older generation squeezing themselves into a boat designed for youngsters.

Winds were a little on the light side which turned making the windward mark a little bit of a marathon and it was a pity that only five boat took part.

Prizes were awarded for the first three places, under a special handicap system which resulted in the the winner and the fourth and fifth boat crossing the line all receiving awards.

The sailing  was followed up by a buffet supper at the Marina club which proved very popular with the visitors from the USA and New Zealand who had been sailing together around the coast of Malaysia .

Natural Pain Relief and Home Business Success

You have to read this story about Tula Savisky. These testimonies just fire off my jets and launch me into another mission orbit. I love hearing how people are having life transformations with TriVita.

Tula joined TriVita in December 2008, not thinking she was going to make a lot of money, but in hopes that TriVita would be different than her past business experiences. Someone she knew in an online community referred her to TriVita, assuring her she could do the business.

She told me, "I failed at every network marketing company I’ve been involved with before because the products simply didn’t do what was promised. It seemed like you had to be a seller or taker from someone to get something for yourself. That just is not my personality, but my enroller Tanya Sydney told me TriVita was different. I hoped it would be, and that I could help people while earning some money at the same time."

Tula received her first check from TriVita which was $9. She and her husband, Terry, love to canoe and camp, so she hoped that someday she could buy a new canoe. But then came the Nopalea launch, and she experienced a wellness experience that removed pain, gave her new mobility with renewed energy to do the things that are physically demanding and things she loves to do. In fact, by lowering inflammation in her body, even the psoriasis skin blemishes she’s had for years are clearing up. That is remarkable in itself, as there is little that can be done for this kind of skin disorder.

She started sharing Nopalea online with some success and began to watch her checks go up. Her belief in the product continued to build as she was receiving amazing stories from people about how their health was improving. You might remember the call Bryan Wirth and I did about how small actions create small successes that help build belief. And when belief becomes the force, all things are possible. Get into action and create small successes as you are just a few steps away from belief where big and mighty things happen.

Now Tula is not hiding behind a computer because she cannot share with someone in person; she is out in the community everywhere she goes sharing the Nopalea story. Her belief is so powerful and she told me "If you just share and care about people, the compensation will come back to you." Sounds like reciprocity to me! She is now moving quickly towards becoming a Director, and in only 7 months, her July compensation was $1,700!

She said, "Michael, my personal development to overcome fear and doubts has been incredible. I could not have even talked with you about my goals and my life when I first started with TriVita. I attribute much of that to the life changing effects that Sublingual B-12 had on my mental focus, emotional stability and physical energy. Add to that the fantastic support I have received from my enroller Tanya Sydney, Fred Gondzar, Mike Riedmiller and Cody Ramsey, and I’m a different person." She boldly said, "I have my eyes set on being Presidential Director someday. I know I can do it if I just keep sharing."

Here is a dynamic, synergistic and powerful thing that happened to Tula and her husband Terry…when TriVita changed the policy so anyone of legal age in a household could have a position as an Affiliate, she immediately recruited her husband. He had always been supportive, but it was always Tula’s business not ‘their’ business. As soon as Terry enrolled, he immediately made a list of contacts that he wanted in his business. He began sending the Gift of Health, which led to enrolling the builders he wanted to work with him. But here is what is so powerful…Tula and Terry began to dream about what they wanted to do together and A FAMILY PURPOSE DREAM EMERGED! The dream became much bigger than a canoe. They want to go to Baffin Island above the Arctic Circle and work with the Inuit. They want to return to South America where they lived for 9 years and renew friendships. This once timid, NOW bold TriVita Affiliate asked me, "When are you going worldwide, as we have contacts all over the world who we want to get involved in TriVita? We have people in Australia…how soon before TriVita is in Australia?"

I could write a book on Tula instead of a blog. What can we learn with this incredible story?

  1. You never know what lies inside of an individual. With the nurturing and encouragement she received from her support team, she now believes like we do that all things are possible when you believe in the products. As leaders – nurture, encourage and inspire, as you just don’t know the potential of the power of belief.
  2. Get the whole family involved, as it creates family purpose and focus.
  3. Don’t be a taker, but rather a giver, and share with people the power of Nopalea. Tula gives people a bottle and uses the Gift of Health. She believes in the product.
  4. Actions create success… success creates belief in yourself… belief then creates many magnificent possibilities
. I am proud to share this story with you. This is why there is a TriVita. I see thousands of Affiliates rising up with actions to demonstrate the product and people experiencing a greater quality of life. Affiliate businesses are going to explode as we become audacious and bold in our actions to share an anti-inflammatory product with a highly toxic and inflamed world. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing about Tula.

How Ice Cream in your Diet Will Help You Lose Weight

Today I thought I'd take a moment to explain the importance of protein and its role in fat loss.

It's very important to balance ALL meals and snacks with carb-rich and protein-rich foods together. A meal with carbohydrates alone is problematic because glucose levels shoot up and then crash down. This can leave you feeling tired, hungry, and weak - and gives your body an easy opportunity to convert that meal to fat.

When protein is included, however, you will not only stay full longer, but glucose levels will stay more consistent, your metabolism will work more efficiently, and you will feel energized for a longer period.

Carbs are digested in about two hours, but proteins take longer to digest. So,when the two are eaten together, protein slows down the digestion of the carbohydrates, and energy from carbs are released more slowly.

In addition, eating carbohydrates with protein means the carbohydrates will be used as energy, sparing the protein for use building and repairing muscle tissues, their primary function.

So, for maximum fat loss, make sure that you include a complete protein source at each snack and meal. All of these reasons above are exactly why you should consider the Protein Freeze product.

There are a lot of healthy carbs, such as oatmeal and fruit. But if eaten alone, you'll run into the same problems explained above. Protein Freeze not only offers 22 grams of very high quality protein, it has just 2 grams of fat and sugar! ... and it tastes absolutely amazing and goes so well oatmeal, fruit, and a variety of other healthy carbs.

Who would have ever thought that ice cream would be good for you and help you lose fat?! Click Here for more info - you will absolutely LOVE this stuff, I promise.

How to Find Out Who is Calling You or Make Contact if you only have a Number

How To Use Telephone Numbers and find Names and Addresses

Tired of prank calls? Need to know who is calling your spouse in the middle of the night? Or maybe you’re just looking for a little more information on a particular phone number…

Phone books, like the White and Yellow Pages, can be a great resource when you need to find a person, address, or company. But what happens when you don’t have a name to look up? After all, when a name is the information you seek, a phone book isn’t much use. Additionally, neither the Yellow nor the White Pages list cell phone numbers… making the job of finding someone when all you have is a telephone number all the more difficult.

And that’s where a reverse phone number look up comes in.

Generating information in the form of a detailed report, a reverse phone look up can provide you with the name of the person to whom a phone number belongs, cell carrier, billing address, and service status. Why put up with anonymous phone calls or annoying unknown caller id statuses?

In the past, reverse phone searches were a tool utilized only by law enforcement officials and private investigators. But today, Reverse Phone Check  puts the power and information of the reverse look up in your hands.

With its easy to use system, Reverse Phone Check is the most affordable and user- friendly reverse look up service on the net. Plus, you have the option of performing a one time look up on a single number, or, for just a little more, you can add an entire year of unlimited reverse phone searches. (An exceptional value)

And with their “No hit, No charge” satisfaction guarantee, you will never be charged for a search that doesn’t yield valuable information. Which means that you have absolutely nothing to lose.

It’s as simple as typing in a phone number. So go on… Click Here To Try It Out

I use the system every day during the course of my business, to find out who is calling and it makes it easier to call them back when you know their name. Also rather than leaving a message if they do not answer the phone you can often mail them or see on the Google map where they live.

Desperate To Lose Weight

Today I want to discuss why eating 4 - 6 smaller meals more frequently (about 2.5 - 3 hours apart) is better than 3 large meals ... and why eating fewer calories at night is ideal.

Eating a large meal increases the opportunity for fat cells to extract fat from the blood and, therefore, grow bigger. Fat cells can actually adapt to a pattern of large, infrequent meals by becoming more efficient at storing fat.

In addition, a 2 - 3 meal-a-day pattern causes the body to face long stretches without food. By the time lunch or dinner rolls around, you're so famished you're more likely to make unwise food choices and overeat.

Eating smaller meals more frequently throughout the days, on the other hand, not only prevents you from gorging on unwise food choices; it helps you feel energized and satisfied (and keeps your metabolism "revved" up) throughout the day.

In addition to eating smaller meals more frequently, try to plan so that you don't eat your largest meal late at night. The body's metabolic rate has a natural cycle of highs and lows, peaking late in the day and dropping to its lowest level during sleep.

So, it makes sense to avoid putting a large meal into your system 2 to 3 hours before bedtime, when your metabolic rate is beginning to slow down. If you do feel hungry after this time, you don't need to go to bed hungry; just eat something especially low in calories and in a small portion.

Protein and fibrous carbs (vegetables) are the very best types of food to eat at night because they're so low in calories and have almost no adverse affect on blood sugar levels.

I understand though that you might have a sweet tooth, and in this case I have the perfect solution - the "Protein Freeze." It has a taste and texture similar to ice cream (it's sooo good!), yet 5 times as much protein and very little fat, sugar and calories. It's awesome stuff, and you can learn more at http://www.proteinfreeze.com

Oh and it's important to note, just because you eat at night, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll gain fat. If you're still in a caloric deficit, whether you eat at night or not, you'll still likely lose fat.

But eating less at night is an easy way to keep calories under control, especially since these extra calories aren't needed at night before you go to bed because you'll be inactive while you're sleeping. Make sense?

Okay, so key points to remember:

1. Eat small, frequent meals (4 - 6 meals/day) about 2.5 - 3 hours apart, and...

2. Try to eat fewer calories later in the day (which can easily be accomplished by focusing on protein and/or veggies).
