Yoli Better Body 30 Day Transformation System - The Decision|Cindy Brooks (423) 635-4492

A few weeks ago, I looked up an old friend, David Hull, on Facebook. We had previously been affiliated with each other in another network marketing company over ten years ago. David is so much fun to be around and was previously a stand-up comedian, which actually comes in handy in Network Marketing. If you've been around in the industry, you probably know what I mean. Sometimes you want to cry, but really, it's a lot more fun when you laugh.  David was excited to tell me that our old friend, Daren Falter, who was part of my "upline" in a previous company (where I was one of the top recruiters) was now one of the owners with Yoli, the Better Body Company. They had just introduced a new weight loss system that actually worked, and quickly.. Having had minimal success with my previous company  I had been promoting for over a year, I decided to give Yoli, the Better Body Company a try. To my surprise, just by promoting a few before and after pictures, I began to receive messages like crazy from people who were interested in trying the system. Many of them had little luck in other weight loss plans. When they saw the before and after pictures and realized that results were so quick, they got excited. And then when I told them that just by introducing three people who also tried the system, their system could actually be paid for, this was just the push they needed.. (This facet was a plan to help people get in profit quickly and is called the Break Even Bonus).



When I realized all I had to do was promote the before and after pictures to my friends, I was in.  I'll show you a few of these pictures below. You will be astounded at the results. Plus, I really needed to get some extra pounds off myself. My journey will be documented. I will be showing my own progress on this blog. I start the system Monday, November 7. One thing that I like about the system is that everyone loses between 7 to 15 lbs. their very first week. This is enough encouragement for them to continue with the system. The system is actually comprised of  two delicious protein shakes as well as some other components which I will describe in my next blog post. First I just wanted to show you some of the dramatic results with just a few people..

Roger's was the first picture I posted on Facebook.. Roger had lost over 20 lbs. in 20 days with the system. Documentation beats conversation any day.

This is David Hull, my friend and sponsor whom I was affiliated with over ten years ago. The results are incredible, to say the least. David is still on the system now. It will be exciting to see the final results.


So, for those who are considering a "hot" MLM which is really cutting edge using all natural products, this is an exciting company to partner up with. David is our Team Leader. Our team is called the Black Diamond Team. We also have a person on our team who has developed a system designed to help you achieve "car qualified"  status. We have an opportunity to drive our choice of either a white Mercedes, BMW or Cadillac. This is my choice.

In April Yoli is planning a company wide trip to Cancun. I'm definitely going. For some reason those who don't win their way, can pay the $495 to go. What an exciting time to be with a unique company that has shown stability and track record over the past two years. Now with the introduction of the Better Body 30 Day Transformation System, I believe we have the winning ticket.

The decision to lose weight is the first step. Finding a system which helps you get the weight off and keep it off is your second step. We have it with Yoli, the Better Body Company. Yoli means "to live" in the Amazon. I feel like, really -- I have just begun to live by being associated with my company, Yoli. I believe it holds the key to my future success in network marketing. Sometimes in life, you have to know when to hold up, know when to fold up, know when to walk away and know when to run. I'm running to Yoli, the Better Body Company.

Christian Homebased Company|GBG|and Being a Grandmother (423)591-1877

Network marketing and working with GBG, my Christian Homebased company, is exciting and has allowed me to be able to to be flexible in my lifestyle. Being a grandmother is even more exciting.

Memories can only be made one time. Developing strong bonds with your children and grandchildren is important. 

The above video was made only eight months ago. How fast time flies. Lost moments can never be regained. Now with a new grandson, I plan on capturing more moments into my memory and those of my grandchildren.

My son who, due to an economic turn-a-round in the United States, lost his job and was forced to take a job which required him to drive 120 miles each way to work and back. Day in, day out for two long years --along with working his job was very hard for him -- but he just did it. His home would have been hard to sell at that time because it was a brand new home in a new subdivision and there he was "stuck," but making lemonade out of lemons. Life had dealt him a lemon, but he made lemonade. I was proud of him for sticking with it, and all his hard work eventually paid off. I had been praying for him to be able to find a job closer to me so that I might be able to visit my grandchildren. Because they had lived a 5-hr. drive away, it was hard for me to just hop in the car and take off. God answered my prayer and gave him a really good job that he enjoys (and even pays more) which is less than a 2-hr drive for me.

Last week when I visited him and his wife and my two grandchildren (aged 5 mos. and 2 yrs); I had the privilege of reading my grand daughter to sleep. It was really one of he the sweetest moments in my life, almost indescribable. Seeing her in her little "big girl" bed and seeing her shut as she looked at me and said "swee deams," in an almost inaudible whisper-- there was nothing like it. God answered my prayer, and I am so thankful that he still hears and answers prayer. My son no longer has to drive 120 miles each way. He only drives a few miles and can even come home at lunch. What a difference a "prayer" makes. 

Now, I can hop in the car, stay a few hours, go out to dinner or whatever -- and my life has more meaning. Now, I could not do this if God did not answer prayer or if I were having to work a regular job. It might conflict with other activities planned or my job. One of the best things about working from home is flexibility and being able to do things spontaneously. 

Network marketing is not my only stream of income. I do have others; I have really not  "worked" at network marketing that much for the last year. I have mainly been working on myself as an individual and also learning social media marketing. Once a person gets involved in network marketing, he may be tempted to jump around from company to company, when things don't go as smoothly or as fast as anticipated in growing their team. A person may jump around from company to company and find that they have wasted much time, energy and money. I have had teams as large as 8000 in the past, but -- if you know what network marketing is, you will realize that much of your success hinges on those you sponsor and if they duplicate your efforts. You must sponsor quality people who are success oriented, and then show them the way or where to receive more training.

If you are in network marketing and looking for another stream of income, you might want to consider GBG. Personally, I believe in having multiple streams of income. We have been around now for over 15 years -- but only now have all the pieces of the puzzle been put together. We are in the process of going global, with the introduction of our new chewable multivitamin.

If you are serious about working from home and earning a residual income, give me a call at (423) 591-1977or visit my website: GBG Link. I promise to answer all your questions to the best of my ability. As a way of acquainting yourself with the company, I recommend starting by first ordering our flagship product (10in1) and then go from there (this will cost you less than $50; you will also receive your own free website. You can start immediately earning fast-start bonuses which pay out weekly. You will then see that the platinum level is really the only way to go, if you are interested in really optimizing the payplan.

GBG is a good Christian opportunity for those who are nearing retirement age, as you can start now while you are still working, or as a plan B in case of layoffs or cutbacks, as it will add to your income stream.

I have been in network marketing for many years. I can tell you many of the ins and outs of the industry. I have made money with many and failed in others, many times through no fault of my own.  One thing I can honestly say is that being flexible in lifestyle brings much freedom. Network marketing is as much about lifestyle as it is about obtaining residual income.

GBG Willpower in a Bottle|Christian Homebased|

Today  is a great day here in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  As I continue to pursue my purpose (to give hope to those who need a turn-a-round, both spiritually and financially), I utilize Biblical scripture and give examples and methods to elevate people to the next level through Jesus Christ. I am still working in network marketing with my Christian homebased business, GBG, and am working on sharpening my skills in both network marketing  as well as social media marketing. I find that I often make mistakes, but this is often just part of the journey. I have my vision written down and ask for guidance from God in ordering my steps to fulfill his purpose for my life, not for my own gain--but for his glory. .

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13  



When examining my Facebook friends, where I do much of my contact and encouragement, I find many are wealthy, or do they just appear to be?  Utilizing social media, a person can be so much larger than they really are. You can give people a perception of most anything you want them to believe. I try my best to be "real."   I find often people are attracted to those who have used "attraction marketing" to elevate themselves to a believable perception in others eyes. It is often hard to resist the temptation that I have "arrived,"  but I'm still on a journey. I have not arrived at my destination. By keeping my mind on the journey itself, I find I can help more people than I could had I already arrived. They can relate to me because I understand the situation of the person who is not where they want to be in life. I can empathize with their situation, because I have probably already been there myself and went on to a higher level through Christ. It all begins with mindset.

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus -- Philippians 2:5

As far as finances go, I have had both prosperity and poverty in terms of money. Both levels of financial prosperity contain their own set of contentment. Many people spend so much time in the pursuit of riches that they have no life. So much talk in the Christian realm is about being prosperous financially --that the true message of the gospel is often left untouched.

My main goal today is to let you know that just because you've been knocked down, you can get back up. Don't worry about what other people think. Continue your fight. Write out your purpose and begin to live it. You will be elevated, but in due season. Continue to read and meditate on the scripture and listen to the Holy Spirit as your guide. There are so many voices you can hear. The main one to listen to is the voice of the Holy Spirit. Your journey will be completely different from anybody else's.

Romans 3:12 "Let God be true and every man a liar."


I pray for God's blessings to be on you today as you live in the light of God's word. If you begin to feel depressed or fearful, you are experiencing a spirit (it could be a spirit of fear, depression or even rejection). These spirits are used to paralyze you into inaction. The enemy wants you to remain fearful and paralyzed so that you do nothing for the kingdom of God . God wants you to be victorious in your journey here on earth--that is the reason "fear not" is splattered across the pages of the scripture. The message was even splattered in his precious blood.

Remember, if you are spending much time in Social Media, people are not always what they are perceived to be, so your true direction as a Christian needs to come from the word and the Holy spirit. We must recognize and act on the voice of the Holy Spirit.  God has given you your own anointing/gifting. Pursue your gifting with passion.

As a sidenote, for those who are watching my journey with GBG, I begin today to take Willpower in a Bottle, which is our new weight loss product. A couple of months ago, I had been in the process of moving and left some of my things in storage (including a set of scales). I found a few pounds had started creeping back on and I was already over the weight I needed to be.  Last week I bought a new digital set and am ready for my new journey into a better body (not for vanity's sake, but for God's glory and because God wants us to take care of our body). I know that by losing extra weight, my body will perform better and I will be more at my optimum. I had been taking my weight each morning for the last week and saw how it could fluctuate anywhere from 1 to 4 lbs. My present weight is 173, but fluctuates between 171-175. My weight loss goal is 135. I will be assisting my weight loss with our newest product, Willpower in a bottle which is a healthy weight lost assistance product with all natural ingredients and will also continue to take my 10in1. I will keep you posted as to how this is working for me. If you are looking for something to help you on your own weight loss or even your financial journey, you can place your order from my site or give me a call at 423-591-1877.  My Personal Website for Ordering

I will also be getting some suggestions from my son who has lost 35 lbs. during the last year.

GBG|Christian Homebased Business|Advice: Don't Speak Unless You Have Something to Say

Having a Christian homebased business allows me to make my own choices in life without the fear and limitations of having someone else determine my future. The main reason for me to work from home is one word -- flexibility. I realize my ultimate success is determined by me. There are no excuses for not achieving success with my company, GBG, other than lack of focus or being afraid of my own success. For awhile now, I haven't posted on my blog. I've been in transition and moving to another location in the city. My transition was not an easy choice, but a necessary choice. Most of the time, when we look at our life--we realize it is a total of the choices of the choices we have made.

In my twenties, I remember a conversation I was having with a person from a different country. His way of relating to me was different than most. His attitudes were different and his values were different. I tried my best to get him to open up by talk....talk....talking. One day as we were walking and I was talking, he turned to me and said, "don't speak unless you have something to say." It caught me off guard, but I have often thought of that from time to time. Sometimes we talk so much about nothing that when we do have something we really want to relate, nobody listens or the meaning is not as impactful as it could be had we not talked all the time.

I think with the age of Social Media in full swing and our friends (both new and old) as close as a Facebook message, our interaction is often too much. We might have to do as my friend said, "do not speak unless you have something to say."

In my next few posts, I will be explaining to you part of the reason I continue to choose network marketing as my vehicle for my Plan B.

GBG|Christian Homebased Business|Gives Time Freedom and Flexibility

One of my favorite things about my Christian homebased business, GBG, is time freedom and flexibility. Some successful people who work in this arena will tell you that there is nothing like it in terms of time freedom and flexibility. Now, there's definitely a fine line in using your time properly and deciding exactly how much time is necessary to contribute to your endeavor in order to make success possible, and there is also a fine line in determining the exact financial level a person may be desiring to achieve. For Moms wishing to stay home with their children, they sometimes find that just by learning to conserve in specific areas along with the extra income derived from their business, they may come out ahead by staying at home. When you take into consideration that there are many tax advantages for having a home based business as well as not having to pay a sitter or pay for gasoline and more expensive clothes, the financial aspect sometimes makes having a homebased business an obvious choice.



The problem with working a regular job when Moms would rather be at home with their children is that many Moms have not sat down and actually weighed the costs. The costs are not only financial but also emotional. Ask most Moms and they will tell you that there's nothing like the feeling of being free from obligations, especially when a child is sick or seems to need extra attention. Many Moms also feel guilty leaving a crying baby. Although the crying is usually temporary, it still leaves a horrid vision in the mind of a Mom as she continues to do her best to give her family the life she wants so much for them to have.


During most of my son's early years, I worked from home with a flexible schedule. We slept late and had fun together. Would it have been possible for me to play airplane with baby food while trying my best to get ready for work? Would it have been possible for me to stay with him when he was not really that sick, but sick enough to need his Mommy? The best thing to do if you are considering staying home with your children is to begin a homebased business while you are still working. By doing this, you should be able to learn the ins and outs of the business and get over any learning curve you may need, especially if it is network marketing. Finding the right company is key in being able to achieve the financial security you may need.  By staying in the marketplace for awhile, you may find that you have more contacts to market to -- on a personal basis locally. Many people involved in network marketing will tell you that it is important to have both an online and offline presence.

Being a Mom is such a privilege and honor. Providing for your children is very important also - both financially and spiritually. Many Moms want their children to have their own values - not that of someone else. They may find that the only way to control that aspect is by working from home--a good alternative.

GBG|Christian Homebased Business|You Got to have a Map or at least a GPS

Putting my Christian homebased business on the backburner is an easy thing to do and  it seems I can always come up with some sort of excuse, if I have to--but most of the time, I get sidetracked by distractions that seem important at the time. In reality, however, my lack of focus is due to lack of clearly defined goals.

Life happens to the best of us. Some people may tell you that when they are handed a lemon, they make lemonade. Some people just look at the lemon, tell you how much they hate it and then try to pretend it is not there. What am I talking about? What I'm talking about is when life happens, we have a decision to make: are we going to face the problem head on or procrastinate and do nothing about the situation. If we choose the latter, our life may soon becomes a blur of unfinished tasks and projects.
 

There comes a point when we are given a wakeup call and must decide to do something about our situation or pay the penalty of forfeiting what God has planned for us. Lack of focus is a killer. It is often easier to get off track than to get back on track.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.



We all veer off the path God has planned for us from time to time, but we can all get back on track. One thing I do when I get off track is go on a date with myself. I take myself to a nice restaurant or somewhere I can just think and be alone with my thoughts and plans and also at the same time look for direction from God. I take my tablet and write down those things which are important to me and goals I wish to accomplish. If I've veered too far off course, I know it is even time to get away by myself for a day or two. Now, I know that is not possible for everyone, especially if you have many responsibilities, but re-evaluation is necessary to get yourself back on track. (Keep your tablet by your bed and write down ideas or thoughts as they come). We often get overwhelmed with thoughts and our minds are here, there, and nowhere.

 Habakkuk 2:2-3
   “ Write the vision
      And make it plain on tablets,
      That he may run who reads it.
      ³ For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
      But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
      Though it tarries, wait for it;
      Because it will surely come,
      It will not tarry.
      

With my Christian homebased business, GBG, we have a list of ten commitments which were designed by our team leader, CJ (Charles Johns) to keep us going in the right direction. Many times, I find that if I am not moving forward, it is often that I have failed to accomplish one of the commitments.

GBG Ten Commitments and Blueprint for Success

Some people treat network marketing as if it were a lottery, joining any new company which comes along--just because it may look good on the surface. But, there are so many features a person must look for in choosing the right network marketing company. I really believe I chose the right one with GBG.

When I was laid off, I really wasted a lot of money trying to find the right vehicle for success, when it was right under my nose all along. I was a customer with GBG first before I ever began to tell others about the money which could be made with the product.

Since life had happened to me lately, my homebased business really took a back seat. But now, again--I'm back on the journey towards success. My excuses for not moving forward are in the past now.

If you are involved in network marketing and feel you are where God wants you to be with the right company, just begin again. Don't give up. Take your legal pad with you and ask God to reveal to you the right steps for success. He really wants you to prosper and be in good health, both of which are possible benefits with our company and maybe yours too.

Each person has the opportunity to choose failure or success. Today can be your time for a turnaround in your business. Don't let others dictate your success. The price for success may not be easy, but it will definitely be easier if you have a roadmap for success. The right vehicle is necessary, but by actually stopping and determining an action plan, you will be more apt to succeed.

Also, there is so much out on the Internet, you will be tempted to be distracted. You may need to decide how much time you are availing yourself to each project. Find out what actions you are doing which are bringing you closer to your goals, and then concentrate on those specific areas.

I really hope I have motivated you to get out of complacency and do something. Begin with a plan, your plan.

Christian Homebased|GBG|Nothing Ever Stays the Same

It has been nine days now since I've posted to my blog. A death in the family is hard to take, but life goes on. One person dies and another is born. As I think about my step-father and watching him take his last breath, my daughter-in-law is expected to give birth to a new member of the family.

As we think about all those people in Japan and the earthquake and tsunami, we realize how fragile life just really is. No person is ever confident of what will happen next. For those of us who are Christians, we realize and have the knowledge that God is in control. We may not understand, but we have faith to believe that in the midst of all turmoil, there is an awareness that all is fitting into God's plan.

So, it's back to work. Yes, I did take time off to rest. My homebased business allowed me to do that. Had I been working a regular JOB, I would have had no other choice but to go back to work immediately if I expected to keep my JOB. Still, however, some think network marketing is like: sign up a lot of people and let them do all the work while you just sit there drawing a residual income check from the efforts of others. Maybe for a few fortunate people who just happened to sponsor the right people, this might be the case. Yes, as their residual income checks come in, they may be able to sleep late, go to expensive restaurants and have a high standard of living. My firm belief is that if they think that is what life is all about, they are wrong. Giving hope to people is not all about telling them that they can drive expensive cars and live in expensive houses surrounded by expensive things which may have no meaning. This is not my idea of what wealth really is. My idea of wealth is time freedom and freedom from financial worries, while at the same time helping others achieve the lifestyle of freedom they desire. The video below features CJ, my personal sponsor. See what CJ has to say about GBG.



Most people on my team with GBG have already been elevated to some type of financial level. Most people on my team are people who are health oriented and recognize the benefits of our product, 10 in 1 multivitamin, and what it can do for their body to keep them able to do the things they need to do on a higher level.  These people also are those who see a good opportunity and know how to grasp it. Most of my team members are business oriented and know the value network marketing can offer them as another revenue stream. Most of my team members already have a business and are just looking for that little extra income added to their already fulfilling income stream.

Right now, with our economy the way it is, many people are looking for an additional revenue stream. GBG is the perfect opportunity in network marketing right now, in my opinion. You may like to investigate this opportunity for yourself. If you've never been involved with network marketing, GBG is the right company to associate yourself with. Our team succeeds together.

We are also all about self growth and entrepreneurship. We realize that many people do different things, and we never try to convince you to put all your eggs in one basket. This may be the perfect opportunity to supplement what you're already doing.

Tribute to My Step-father -- Otto Timms, Calhoun, GA

Today, my blog post is not about GBG; it is not about my Christian Homebased business. Today my post is a special post to pay honor to Otto Timms, my stepfather--a very unique person. Calhoun, Georgia lost a legend as his silver cord was finally loosed.

 Ecclesiastes 12:6 Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the well. 

It's all over now--no more crying, no more tears, no more pain, no more worry--no more holding on for Otto. One by one they came--starting at 5:00 and ending at 9:00 yesterday, as over 1000 friends and relatives, some waiting in line as long as two hours,  paying tribute and final respects to a man who had become a legend to those who knew him best--racing fans. This year marked the 50th anniversary of his beloved Paradise Drag Strip. Otto had passed away on a race day, to the sound of racing cars in the background and surrounded by his loving family. Never a man to give up, he endured and persevered to the end until that final goodbye--hoping for his miracle and for someone to find out what was wrong with him. He had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, a very cruel disease which not only effects the individual but also every person who loves them.

There is a scribbled written note my mother found written last year on a Christmas card which says it all - "I'm locked inside a box and can't get out. Will pay when I get it."  Nobody ever found Otto's secret key; but still, always, in Otto fashion, he continued to believe until that final goodbye.




As Otto's body was viewed, my mother stood devotedly beside the casket for the entire duration and never sat down or even left the room to take a break--the same devotion she had to her husband of over 45 years, my step-father (the man who was always there) -- Otto Timms. Otto was a one-of-a-kind man known mostly by me for his work ethic and his art for risk taking and "just believing."

Today, a gathering of friends and relatives participated in the final ritual, a funeral held at the church across the street from the Drag Strip,  before giving a one last ride down the drag strip in the hearse.

10 KEYS TO SUCCESS IN GBG

Avoiding the Victim Mentality|AVON|Christian Homebased Business

Lately at the church I have been attending, I was made aware of a phenomena called "victim mentality." This disease strikes many people due to the fact that these people crave attention and will play the victim at any cost. Let me tell you--the cost is high not only to them, but to those with whom they associate. These people who play the victim in almost all circumstances will rob you of your most precious commodity here on earth---time. They will also rob you of your emotions and try their best to bring you down to their level. They will tell you that they have discussed their situation with everybody and their brother -- but they still need your opinion. They will tell you they have countless people to pray for them, but they still need you to pray for them too.

It is my opinion that these people crave attention and are self absorbed. God only gives us so much time on earth and desires that we use it wisely. We can take some time with them, but if they are not responsive -- they must begin to pray themselves. Over and over the endless pleas come in as we become a willing vessel for satan's tactics. Satan comes to kill and destroy. He wants to rob us of our time.

Psalms 90:12 (KJV) So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

I have compassion with people, but often these people are in no worse situation than I, myself, am in. I choose to move to the next level. It is my responsibility to find the vehicle to move me to the next level.  God has given us so many promises in his word that if we will just take a few and dwell on them, he will supernaturally move us forward. He allows us to go through the valley to strengthen us, but sooner or later we will come through if we continue to trust in him and his word.

I am just not a good person to come to if a person wants pity. I will tell them what has carried me through, but I will not pity them. We all live in the same world and all have the same choices. Some people are in the situations they are in due to negative choices they have made. Their present situation is only the outcome of those decisions. In order for things to change, they have to change--and many are just not willing to change.

II Corinthians 5:17 (KJV) Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

I refuse to be a victim. God --what do I have or tell me, Lord, what do I need to get me to the place you have prepared for me? What strategy and what action do you want me to take. Lord, I am not afraid for you are with me. Many people are in a worse situation and, I know that in many countries with my limited possessions I would be viewed as being "rich." Lord, I am "rich" in all things. Forgive me for not appreciating what you have put in my hand. Please, Lord, just give me the wisdom to know what to do with what I have or where to go to get what I need. You are my rock, Lord -- and my provider. I trust in you Lord. Thank you for what you have put in my hand.    


I also ran across another blog post I thought might be of interest to you:
How to Break Out of a Victim Mentality: 7 Powerful Tips

Because victim mentality has benefits for many people, they avoid change. People tend to move close to what feels good and avoid things that don't feel good; therefore, in the victim mentality situation, it is often hard to convince the person that change is needed. They have become comfortable in their uncomfortable situation. These feelings are often the result of childhood feelings which are often deeply rooted into their psyche. My firm belief is that to eliminate the trap, this is a work of the Holy Spirit. He must convict and convince. This convincing is done by hearing the word of God to help illuminate their own need to step out and step up.

GBG|Christian Homebased Business|This too Shall Pass

My Christian homebased business, GBG, gives me much freedom and flexibility. After working very hard for a corporation here in Chattanooga, Tennessee for over three years, our office was closed in one day with no advance warning. Since that time, I have made an Internet presence for myself and opened myself to many opportunities outside the limited scope I previously had. Previous to being laid off, I had few friends and few relationships because my job left me drained emotionally and physically.

In my lifetime, I have dealt with much depression. I'm not a using a "victim mentality" as a way to receive attention for myself.  I'm just saying, I've gone through much more grief than the average person. But those things are behind me now, yet today I felt that old nagger come back to try and haunt me. He hunted me down like a stalker waiting until I was at a vulnerable point. I had been adding many activities to my schedule and even had to go and get myself an appointment book, to keep up with my schedule. Maybe I was just adjusting to my schedule, or it could have been a sign that being busy was not the answer to living a productive life, and I needed to pace myself more.

I saw a post on Facebook from one of my friends and realized that maybe she was going through something similar to what I was going through. I did not know and I did not ask; I just checked like. I thought to myself, maybe Youtube would have some beautiful picture describing her status, so I went and found something which was quite unexpected; in fact it was a surprise. The video below was entitled, "this too shall pass."



I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Christian Homebased Business|FaceBizPro|Facebook Business Page Ap

I finally got my BizPagePro ap set up with my new Facebook business page. It wasn't that hard; it was just actually taking time to breathe and just do it.


As I am doing some other things for the next couple of weeks, and learning the details of my new position as Marketing Associate with Tradebank, it seems that everything I'm involved with has some sort of learning curve. (blogging, social media....etc...)

Here is a link to both my marketing site and my Facebook business page. If you think you would like to learn how to appropriate this ap for your business page, message me or give me a call. There will also be a webinar tonight at 10pm, if you'd like info regarding that.

Link to find out more info about Facebook Ap for Business Page

 Link to My Facebook Business Page

This is a hot product distributed through network marketing. Presently there are only around 5000 reps involved. I believe this application could be successfully utilized by people who promote their business online. More tools will be added as the company expands. 

GBG|Christian Homebased Business|Sharing a New Application For Facebook

Just wanted to share this new application for facebook.


This application really should help any business or get recognition. Complete training provided. Be the first and get a jumpstart on your competition.

Here is a link for more information: 
http://www.facebizpro.com/christianhomebased

Just thought I'd share, because this is definitely "new," and should help to put your business on autopilot. Working from home has many distractions, but allowing systems to work for you could be the difference between your success and failure.

Yesterday, I was feeling a sense of overwhelmed due to many projects I was pursuing at the time, including my commitments to my church. I realized some of my work needed to be delegated. Automation is definitely the way to go. For people who are researching the opportunity to work from home, they will realize soon that the more automation they can do, the easier their job becomes.

Many people will tell you that pursuing a work at home business is easy and fun. It can also be difficult, depending on your experience. Just wanted to share this unique tool. I'm just now getting mine set up on Facebook. I'll let you know more later.


 

Steve Harvey Introduces Jesus

GBG|Christian Homebased| Vision Conference at Shreve Ministries Cleveland, TN

Friday night, when I arrived in Cleveland, Tennessee for the first annual Vision Conference promoted by Shreve Ministries, I was in for an exciting time in the Lord.



Listening to testimonies of both new and old saints of God rekindled something deep within me to do something more for my Lord. I remember as a child, praying," Lord, I want to be a good Christian." What being a "good" Christian entailed, I did not know. At ten years old, I was limited. But as I grew older, with more opportunity for achieving my goals, I blew it--messing up big time. But this was a time for new birth; a time to begin with a previous vision and start again with renewed belief that God would accomplish through us, his own desires.

Listening to people who had walked with God throughout their lives and listening to their stories, was very inspiring. As one after another would get up and share, Mike Shreve was used by God to accentuate parts of their testimony by either prophetic remarks or some type of object lesson or another similar story. This was like a gathering of the saints, and I was an honored guest, a bystander observing and experiencing all the seeds of their labor.  

I learned that Shreve Ministries had started almost 40 years ago and had won thousands to the Lord. Mike told of his conversion experience as a teenager hitching a ride and asking God

if he were real to show him, and the person who picked him up, just telling him to Try God at each objection Mike had. That night, Mike committed his life to God. He started his journey with another person and began with street preaching, leaving only with an extra set of clothing. And now, to see how far the ministry had come--is a miracle. Elizabeth told of her vision and how in the past she had not fulfilled the vision, and time was fading. She could begin fresh. She was very dramatic in her speech and her presence left you wanting to push after God harder.


I had never attended a religious gathering like this. The outpouring of the holy spirit was awesome (both from the young and the old). God is good. This is true. But experiencing God in his fullness is so much more--words cannot explain. One thing I do know was that this conference inspired me to be around other Christians with like minds and convinced me of how necessary it is to be surrounded by people who understand your passion to serve the Lord and fulfill your purpose. We can accomplish some within our own self and God, but by aligning ourselves with other saints, I believe God has so much more.

I was alone, sitting on the front row, Friday night. I spoke to a man and his 13 year old son who sat beside me. Later that night, after all the sharing of different ministers, a prayer time was had praying for health situations. People were being ministered over, and this gentleman was healed of a nerve condition in his back. I do not remember all the details, only that he had already had a previous operation and that the pain had returned; he even had a hard time sleeping. From glory to glory, from revelation to revelation - God was outpouring into the dry bones of his saints.

I am so glad I was able to attend. Shreve Ministries does plan on more conferences to be held in the future. I recommend being with this group, because "iron sharpens iron."

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

Christian Homebased Business|GBG Chewable Vitamins|2011 - The Year of the Turn-a-round

 As I continue to work my Christian homebased business, GBG, with our product, 10 in 1 chewable vitamins, and focus my energy towards expansion, I am still amazed how everything begins to fall in place. Before deciding to promote GBG, when I was a consumer of the product 10 in 1 chewable vitamins only-- almost a year ago to the day, I worked a regular JOB; the Chattanooga office I worked in was closed. As a subcontractor for a major cable company in the area, their authorities had told them that operating costs must be cut back. A decision was made for the work we had originally done to be taken inhouse. I had worked very hard in my job capacity (most weeks working over 50 hours) and produced a good income as compared to others in our area, but I had no quality of life, to speak of. My life consisted of exchanging my own life to meet the demands of others and the goals they had set for themselves. I was a pawn in the hand of a corporation. I did like my job and the flexibility it allowed, but being flexible has its good points and bad points. The best thing about having a flexible lifestyle is that you are allowed to be there when others need you. The worst thing about a flexible lifestyle is that by being flexible for others, you often put your own needs last. Therefore, that was the direction of my life--working hard to pay bills to afford a lifestyle I could not enjoy--an unwarranted sacrifice, you will see, when you determine your purpose here on earth.

But, let me tell you about what God has done. For the last year, I have been involved with GBG, my Christian homebased business. By being involved with network marketing, my life is still flexible--however, it is not my "life", as my previous job had become. Now, with GBG my life is truly flexible and enjoyable, but that is not the best part the outcome of being laid off had brought me. It had given me time to think, time to evaluate, time to reinvestigate, and time to regenerate. I knew God had a plan in the whole ordeal; I just did not know what it is. He is still revealing my new life a little at a time.

With more "me" time, I was able to faithfully attend my church, Power Plant Ministry Center, here in Chattanooga,Tennessee. It is a great church. I guess when I first started going, there might have been 100 people, but now there are over 200 and the numbers grow weekly. However, church is not about numbers--it is about changing lives and preparing people here on earth for kingdom work by nurturing their gifts and providing a good environment for growth in Jesus Christ. It is also about being Christ on earth. That is what Power Plant Ministry Center, along with many other churches in the area, do their best to accomplish. Being involved with a church in which God can show his power is so important to our growth as Christians.

When I was employed, the place I worked at was located at 6110 Lee Highway in Chattanooga. This office had remained vacant for almost a year. I would glance at it occasionally, as I made my rounds throughout the city and think about memories of my job long gone. Still, nobody moved it....I thought this was strange--why was nobody moving in, especially since the office was well situated and easily accessible? Well, yesterday, I was attending a Bible Study conducted by Pastor Joseph Dutton, an anointed prophet of God who had been called to establish a new kind of church in Chattanooga. An announcement was made that a lease had just been signed on a new meeting place for the church. My ears could not believe what I was hearing. Pastor Joe started telling about the small meeting place which would probably seat 30 or 40 at the most. He said that the two offices next to it were a hair salon and a psychologist. Now the bell rang--it was my same office I had left a year ago to that day! Amazing.

Funny how God operates at times. No, funny is not the word for it, more like amazingly incomprehensible. I could go into the story of how I lost my house, car, business partner, and good credit rating to finally land back at the same exact place under new circumstances. I could tell you that I had a choice to move into a place of comfort and security in another city after my job ended, or to take a risk and stay here in Chattanooga, where I felt God had planted me. My decision was to choose a situation/environment which on the surface looked like the more difficult and inferior choice. But all along, God continued to show me signs and reveal his love in mighty ways. This was the best of the signs I received. I never asked for signs; God just gave them.

So, here I am, one year later, beginning to embark on the best year of my life--2011, the year of the turn-a-round.  What satan had meant for destruction, God had turned around to be a new beginning. Yes, here I am one year later, and only a month or so after determining my purpose here on earth. I determined my purpose to be to "provide hope (both spiritually and financially) to people who want a turnaround." God is allowing a turn-a-round on his terms. He closed so many doors I had tried to keep open in my on strength, but found impossible after exhausting all solutions and energy. But now, he is opening doors I never could have opened in my own strength or would never have seen because I was too busy trying to keep those other doors open: (closing doors I could not keep open and opening doors I could never have opened in my own strength--WOW). God has allowed me to begin again and even in the same exact place I had worked for three years. The place I thought was my ending was turned around to be a new beginning. The wisdom gained and the principals learned in this journey are to be used for God's glory.


"  closing doors I could not keep open and opening doors I could never have opened in my own strength"

That's my God. He is so good. Do not fear; if fear comes-take immediate action to eliminate that emotion--because action is the cure for fear. Walk in faith knowing God has a plan, and it is so much better than the one you thought you had. Never doubt God. Don't lose confidence when you are hit by setbacks and pitfalls. Find out who God says you are in the scripture and begin to act in ways which affirm what God says about you, according to the scripture. As Dr. Mark Chironna stated today in his daily quote:

"Confidence is all too easily discarded when you hit setbacks and pitfalls. When you encounter a series of “hits” to your confidence it is likely that you will experience fear about even executing tasks that you are normally quite capable of. When you throw away your confidence you even wonder whether you are capable at all. Learn to doubt your doubts! Intend to succeed! Don’t throw away your confidence, multiply it!"

The year, as prophesied by both my prophet mentors, Pastor Andrew Towe and Pastor Joseph Dutton, 2011 is the year of the turn-a-round.  It still amazes me and I stand in awe--of all the places in the city which could have been chosen by Pastor Joseph Dutton and his wife Lynette, they chose 6110 Lee Highway, the place where I thought everything had ended, to be a new beginning for a new move of God in Chattanooga as prophesied by Pastor Andrew Towe, where in endless intercessory prayer meetings and groanings of the spirit, calls were made to God to break the bonds of religion on this city and replace those bonds with love, freedom in worship and dominion.  As Pastor Joseph Dutton proclaims, "we were made to rein."  This is a new beginning -- 2011 the year of the turn-a-round.

 Where Will the Road You are on Lead? You do have a Choice. The poor will always be with us. You don't have to be one of them.




I appreciate my Christian Homebased business; it provides so many of my core needs in life, while giving me flexibility in lifestyle.  When I first started my blog a couple of months ago, it was designed to  give hope to the hopeless, both spitually and financially--my passion.  My intentions were to spread the good news that there is a solution to many people's personal situation during this time of economic uncertainty. These circumstances are merely that: circumstantial. I gave the solution and had over 3000 hits to my site in a short time, not only from the United States, but also many foreign countries.

To some, I recognize the fact that I was coming across as a religious fanatic; I was also even warned that this is the way I was possibly being perceived. I looked up the definition of "religious fanatic" and this is what I found.  Religious fanaticism is fanaticism related to a person's, or a group's, devotion to a religion. However, religious fanaticism is a subjective evaluation defined by the culture context that is performing the evaluation. ...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_fanatic

Now, as you see from the definition: the term "religious fanatic" is subjective, meaning that in one group I might be considered a fanatic, while in another my actions might just be considered the norm. I just wanted you to know that the reason I am the way I am is because, for many years, I was a person who was not in and was not out; in other words, I was "luke warm" as the word of God would put it. This is what the word of God says concerning people who were/are like I was.

Revelation 3:14-19 (King James Version)

 ¹⁴And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
 ¹⁵I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
 ¹⁶So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
 ¹⁷Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
 ¹⁸I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
 ¹⁹As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

The word "chasten" has been defined by some as "exercising authority over."  When someone exercises authority over  a person  or thing, they take the position of expert and make decisions which are in the best interests of  the other person. (as in the case of a government official issuing a curfew). Therefore, one would assume that God  would design events and situations in order to get us back in line with his word and his plan for our life. In other words, he's a God of second chances. Also, one might assume that these situations or circumstances which are designed to get us close to him again, might be laced with difficulties and trials which would cause us to release our independence on ourselves to total dependence on God and his will for our own life. The fact is: God is our creator, and he knows why he created us and what he wants for us. His plan is good, the Bible says.

In my life, as in the lives of many other Christians, I got so far away from what the word of God says was right, that my life began falling apart before their own eyes; it did not make sense. Now, that might look like a bad thing, but through God, it was a good thing - to get me back in line with what he says is the truth.

I must make this absolutely clear-- I have no Biblical training or any  personal  authority which would cause you to believe the things which I believe are true. My only authority is the word of God, in which he wants us to study to show ourselves approved, rightly dividing the word of truth.

I also notice that to some, that integrating my use of  my network marketing company, GBG as a financial vehicle for success,  may be a conflict with what other people believe. Some people are so closed minded and become so comfortable in their own discomfort, that they are not open to another way of  making money.  Some people do not know that network marketing, as a vehicle for success, has already passed the test of time. Many individuals have become wealthy with this vehicle. For many people, just a few extra hundred dollars a month has been the difference in whether to stay home or take the family out to a nice restaurant. Just a few extra hundred dollars a month is often the difference between going bankrupt or staying solvent. Even Donald Trump heralds network marketing. He along with Warren Beatty, Robert Kiyosaki and countless other financial experts know the benefits of network marketing.  

Network marketing is, however, often associated with pyramid schemes and making money off other people. One might even picture network marketing as a large funnel, which shows dollars going into it and pennies coming out on the other end. I am sorry to say, that this is often the case with many unscrupulous companies which have no feeling for the success of its distributors who diligently work hard to be successful. The CEO of our company, Stuart Finger, designed the payplan so that ordinary people could benefit. He had previously been with two differnt companies where he was making money, but others were not. He developed the plan to benefit everyone, including the person who was in part-time, as well as the full-time networker.

I will not give you half truths. Doing this would cause me to be untrue to myself. I will tell you that network marketing is not for the weak. A person must develop their own sense of power, coming from God, and believe and not give up on their company or product. Now--I will say this with all sincerity: a person must really believe in their company and product before putting their life and energy on the line, or they will wind up wasting both time and money. He/she should ask themselves if their chosen opportunity is really in line with their own passion or purpose in life. If for any reason, the opportunity conflicts with what God has given them as their mission, they should turn away at once and not become involved. If they find that leadership is corrupt or any of the training concepts are contrary to what they had originally been lead to believe, they should not participate. What might be perceived as an acceptable practice for one person, however, might not be considered "acceptable" for another. Each person has the right to decide which way God is leading in their chosen endeavor.

It is important to listen to the voice of God before preceding forward. People should precede cautiously before giving their complete trust. All people who say they are there to help, are not. Many so called "mentors" are there to profit from the ignorance of others,  especially "newbies" who often spend thousands of dollars before understanding that there must be criteria before choosing their homebased business.  It is my opinion that people should intentionally go a little slow at the beginning of a new endeavor, in order to make sure that they are really "sold out" on their company. Many will tell you to go all out, recruiting family and friends, make your "hot" list. Often, a person will find that they lose integrity with friends, and those a person should often be able to influence the most, by being ignorant about their company. There is definitely a learning curve in networking. Some have said, however, I'd rather have ignorance on fire than someone who has no enthusiasm. Yes, enthusiasm about your chosen company is definitely a prerequisite for success, in my opinion. Your enthusiasm should be strong before even preceding in talking to others.

So, why did I say all these things: just to have content on my blog.  Did I say these things in order to try and convince you that I am not a fanatic? This answer is from my heart: the only reason I continue to tell about my company, GBG,  and the product, 10 in 1 chewable vitamins, is to fulfill my passion, which is to give hope to the hopeless, both financially and spiritually.

This job is too big for me to do by myself. I need help. Half of the people who are "followers" on my blog are people already involved with my company--some not even on my team in  GBG. They are looking at me and observing my actions. We all want each other to succeed with GBG. Stuart Finger, the CEO of GBG, has devised a payplan which encourages team participation.


True networking is not "All"about the money; it is not all about becoming rich--even though it is possible. GBG is about helping all the people who really have a desire to be successful, giving them a vehicle for success. I encourage you to examine the opportunity and make an educated decision for yourself. I have been involved in network marketing for many years, often becoming one of the top representatives for some of the companies for which I was involved. It is my opinion that GBG is the best network marketing company in the world. Now is the best time to get involved. With all the recent enhancements to the payplan and the fact that GBG has added the 10 in 1 Chewable Vitamin to the line, we are poised to go international in the not too distant future. Due to the fact that the company has been in place for 15 years, stability is more to be expected than some hot new fly-by-night mlm. Should you need to talk further about the opportunity or visit my site, I am listing my website along with my phone number. http://www.onlyatgbg.com/372390 . My phone # is (678) 848-5254. I usually work from 1:00 pm (EST) until whatever. I will also mail out to you an introductory sample package (Free of charge). http://onlyatgbg.com/Product.aspx?ID=372390  Fill out the contact form, and I will contact you: http://www.onlyatgbg.com/Contactme2.aspx?wid=e1a7db4d-79cd-40b4-82c6-dcb7cd32efd2&ID=372390



My authority: I've been involved in network marketing for over 30 years. I originally started with GBG as a purchaser of the product only (not a distributor). Only after receiving the profound effect of an excellent product, 10 in 1 vitamin, and examining all phases of the company, did I make a firm decision to join with GBG.

I am no longer luke-warm with my God. In fact--I am fanatical about my relationship with him, some would say. Some might even say I'm a nut. Well, ok. That's alright, cause they ain't my boss. And some might say I'm a fanatic about my Christian homebased company, but thats ok, too--because I walk in good health and prosper just as my soul prospers, while many walk around in an unhealthy state of mind, declaring sickness on themselves and their families. I see it all the time.

Have a great day!

3 John 1:2  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.


Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
