Work at Home

When I got the idea that I'd like to work from home, I started searching for an easy way to start a home based business. Yes, I wanted to work at home and do something that I lived. My search continued for several years, after falling for some really bad deals that cost lots of money, before I found what I was looking for. Not only did I find the business that was right for me, I also learned a lot about what it takes to survive, and prosper, working from home. I also found some things that I did not like, more on that later.

Before I continue, I should tell you, there is no work at home business that is easy. However, there are people that make outrageous promises like, "all you have to do is sign up and we'll do all the work for you." Well let me tell you, ALL businesses, home or other wise, take time and hard work to become successful. I wish I would have known this years ago, I may have been retired by now. I guess it wasn't God's plan for me, because He led me to a great business partner, a terrific marketing system, and to the Its Good Business team.

As I reflect on my own situation, I believe each step of our journey is there for a reason. Each step builds character. Each step makes us appreciate our rewards even more, and also the value of our hard work. There is no free lunch! Everything worth while takes hard work, and perseverance. So, if you're looking for the easy way out, or an easy way to start a work at home business stop wasting your time, there are none to be found. Take it from me, or ask my friends on the Its Good Business team. I know we can save you lots of hours, days, months, or years of wasted time, and we will also save you lots of money.

We have the experience to show you what to do, and the things to avoid to become successful. Many of us have been on both sides of that fence. As I share my experiences, and put my thoughts to the computer, it's my goal to help people avoid the pitfalls and traps that many of us have fallen into. And the one that comes to mind first is the "get rich quick trap!" Many individuals have either given up on their dreams, or have lost lots of money due to this type of scam.

It's my intention, in collaboration with the Its Good Business team, to help you build a solid work at home business, with a solid company, and with solid products. If you have never had a home business but would like to one, you came to the right place. Our team of experienced work at home marketers are here to help you with your business.

Work at Home Education

Is it just me or are there a lot of people walking around in a "Constant State of Confusion?" It seems that they (you) spend their (our) entire lives just reacting to everything around them. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's the people (maybe even you) that never seem to move in a forward direction in their lives. Even when they (you) seem to take a step forward, they end up taking 2 steps backwards. This is especially true when it comes to people who would like to have a work at home business. And, with some people, this becomes so obvious, it even becomes predictable.

So, why are so many people in this constant state of confusion and non-forward movement when it comes to a work at home business? I believe it has a two-fold answer. First, people have been told that they can make lots of money from home just by working an hour or two a day. Although that may be true in some very rare cases, it's not the norm. Secondly, people have not been "educated" properly on what it actually takes to build a successful home based business. This, by far, is the main reason people wind up in a state of confusion, and walking away from the dream of owning a home business.

As I was writing this article, I received an email with the subject, "Legitimate Work at Home Job." Yes, believe it or not, there are a lot of legitimate jobs that you can work from home. Aside from that, what makes this email so confusing is the subtitle, "I want a job where I don't have to work a ton of hours to make a ton of cash," don't we all? I believe a statement like that is enough to cause someone to get all excited that they fill out the form and then join that opportunity.

After all, aren't most of us wired that way? Typically, we all want self-gratification and want to get paid what we feel we are worth.

However, after spending hours upon hours learning a new system (with our new business opportunity), we become confused and stop moving forward. We give up! We weren't looking to work more hours then our current job, but rather, work less and get paid more. It's easy to see why it can become confusing, and why someone would give up and stop moving forward?

This is the problem with many of the work from home business opportunities that you find online. They promise you lots of money with little or no work, but in all actuality, you wind up working more hours and getting paid less per hour than your current job. But, that's NOT what they promised, right? Exactly! That's were the confusion comes in, and why people get frustrated and that's were being properly educated, on what it takes to work at home, comes into play.

Education has been programmed into our heads ever since our first day of school. Our parents told us to pay attention in school, and to get good grades. As we got older we were told to get a great education so we could get a great job, but as we got older and got out of school, a lot of us wound up working in a field that we dislike. So we start looking elsewhere for that self-gratification that is supposed to come from our work.

With that said, if you're looking to work from home, it's important to get educated, to learn the ropes from someone that has been there, or is currently in that situation. Learn what it takes to become successful. Learn from someone that speaks the truth, not someone that will tell you what you want to hear. If someone claims to be an expert, ask them for their credentials, or do a search on Google, Yahoo! or Bing. If you can't find any information about them, they are probably NOT who they say they are. In that case, you should move on!

A work at home business is no different than a real job. You need to be educated. You need to know what the position requires. You need to get into classes or training, or read books or search the Internet. Learn what it takes to work at home before quitting your job. If you expect to get paid what your worth, get educated. Don't let days, months, years, and even decades go by with a lot more of the same "wandering generality" mentality. If you're in a state of confusion, about what it takes to work at home, learn so you can make an educated decision.

Best Work at Home Businesses

What are the best work at home businesses? Is any work at home business better than another? What makes a work at home business great?

These are just a few questions that come to mind of people when looking for a home based business. However, the fact remains that many people are in dire straits and need money immediately. If that's you, then the best thing to do is go get a real paying job, because most home based businesses are NOT quick fixes for money problems.

What I have found throughout the years of marketing on the Internet is that the majority of "get rich quick" work at home business opportunities are nothing but scams. If you're looking to make money fast, chances are that the opportunity you are considering is a scam. Why? Because the majority of individuals offering this type of opportunity knows your situation, you're desperate, and they pray on your emotions to make themselves rich. It's all about them and has nothing to do with your well being.

It's a known fact that desperate people take desperate measures in desperate times. And many people jump at those ridiculous "get rich quick" schemes. I guess a beautifully painted picture (even if it's only in your mind), of a rosy future, goes a long way to entice someone to join there business opportunity, even if it is a scam. An artist can can make a scam look like a beautiful business opportunity, but in the end, no matter how gorgeous it looks, it's still a scam.

So, what does make a work at home business great, or better yet, what does a great work at home business look like?

First off, a great work at home business has to have viable products and/or services; it cannot be based on money alone.

Money only businesses, like getting paid money when someone signs up under you and pays their money, are scams. However, if you get paid from a product or service sale, from a person you introduced, that is called a commission. Getting paid commissions on products or services that you are directly or indirectly involved with is legitimate.

Now if the person that bought that product, loved it so much that they wanted to sell the product on their own (by becoming a rep - personally sponsored by you) you would get paid a commission on the product, or service, sold by that rep. That "indirect" product or service sale is not just limited to the person you sponsored, but would also include a person(s) that your personally sponsored rep sponsored. And depending on the company's compensation plan, you could possibly get paid 6 or 7 levels down.

The scenario listed above is what most MLM (multi-level marketing) or network marketing businesses are all about. And, the majority of work at home businesses are network marketing businesses. Why? Because, it's the best way to earn a substantial amount of money. However, let me caution you about the money. If you do it strictly for the "money" and forget about helping others, you may find yourself with a lot of people in your organization, but without anyone doing a thing.

Live an Anti-Inflammatory Lifestyle?

It has been stated by reliable sources that just about every person living has or will experience inflammation at one time or another. Stats are available from many different web sites to back up this statement. So, is it possible to live a life without suffering from the pain associated with inflammation?

I guess you would have to break down inflammation into two categories, good and bad inflammation to find the answer. Since, according to scientists and medical personnel, good inflammation is necessary. However, it's my understanding that it's the bad inflammation that causes all of the pain and suffering.

And who better to answer the question about inflammation and how you can live an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, but Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita.

How To Lead An Anti–Inflammatory Lifestyle

Wellness is created in the way our immune system interacts with our environment – based on our genetics and modified by our behavior or lifestyle. Illness is really a disharmony produced by injury, toxins from inside or outside our body, deficiencies in vital elements like air, water, sleep and nutrients and emotional distress.

Sometimes we ask the wrong questions when we start to experience disharmony in our body. In effect, we ask, "What makes sick people sick?" As pertinent as that question is to a sick person, it is usually more productive to ask, "What keeps healthy people well – and how can I be one of them?"

Good inflammation?
Can inflammation really be good for you? Yes! For example, your body temperature is 98.6 F/37 C. We are able to maintain that warmth because of controlled, focused, balanced inflammation. We call this type of inflammation metabolism.

Our immune system also functions through focused inflammation. For example, "bad" bacteria are neutralized by inflammation from macrophages: critical elements of our immune system.

Bad inflammation
Four imbalances create disharmony in our immune system. They are:

• Trauma or injury – Injured tissues first respond with beneficial inflammation. But if the inflammation becomes chronic, it will limit circulation by blood and lymph. Poor circulation allows waste created by the cells to accumulate, eventually becoming a toxic cesspool which can be the target for infection and disease.

• Toxins from inside or outside of your body – Fat-soluble toxins and poisons from our environment may accumulate in our tissues and smolder for decades. These toxic tissues become chronically inflamed. Fatty tissues in our body such as our brain, liver and reproductive systems accumulate toxins and become the target for inflammation and disease.

• Deficiencies in elements critical for life – Many people are deficient in oxygen though there is an abundance of air surrounding them. Oxygen deficiency causes acidic tissues; an acid body foments disease. Deficiencies in air, water, sunlight, sleep and nutrients are the most common causes of chronic inflammation.

• The immune-suppressing scourge of emotional distress – Sustained emotional distress is a trigger for chronic inflammation. Actually, stress is also a known trigger for obesity and type 2 diabetes. Obesity causes more emotional distress and more chronic inflammation.

Your anti-inflammatory plan
We are made with the ability to respond to trauma, toxins, deficiency and stress with inflammation. Therefore, inflammation is not the enemy; however, runaway inflammation is definitely our enemy! Stop the domino effect of runaway inflammation before it starts by learning and living the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness.

• The simple act of breathing deeply can help reduce the impact of stress on your body. Oxygen also encourages an alkaline body; alkaline tissues are resistant to chronic illness.

• Sleeping peacefully can also help reduce the impact of stress.

• Exercise can ease the imbalance created by injury or trauma. Exercise may also make you less prone to future injury.

• Reduce basic nutrient deficiencies by eating the appropriate servings of fruits and vegetables daily:
  • 5 servings for children
  • 7 servings for women  
  • 9 servings for men

Further "fill in the gaps" of nutrient deficiency by taking the Healthy Foundation program.

• Help reduce the effects of many internal and external toxins with Nopalea™.

• Ease the disturbances caused by emotional distress with anti-stress Adaptogen 10 Plus®.

A word about inflammation and disease
Once runaway inflammation is triggered, it follows an amazingly intricate course leading to catastrophe. Many of the disease processes are known to medical science, but many are not. One thing we know: stop runaway inflammation and health will improve! So, no matter what the "condition" is that is causing distress, reducing excess inflammation can help improve the way we feel.

According to many resources, inflammation is the one condition that lies at the root of your troublesome allergies, asthma, heart disease, and many types of cancer. It may be true what Hippocrates said, that "all disease is one." I just wonder if he was talking about inflammation?

If inflammation is the problem - Nopalea™ may be the solution.

Nopalea's Taste and Ingredients

In a past TriVita Weekly Wellness Report, TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, answered questions regarding TriVita's newest product, Sonoran Bloom Nopalea. I've shared the majority of the questions in previous posts, and have written about the most common concerns regarding Nopalea.

You can read some of my previous posts by clicking on the links below:

Is it Safe to Take Nopalea with My Medications?
How much Nopalea should I take?
Water, Nopalea, and Your Health

One area not discussed up to this point is the taste of Nopalea, and what makes it taste so good? Many users of the product always comment of its taste. Even after holding several tasting parties, the one comment mostly shared is about the taste of Nopalea. How could something that is supposedly so good for you taste so good? IS it loaded with sugars? Does Nopalea use artificial sweeteners?

To answer those questions, I will leave it up to TriVita's Chief Science Officer once again.

Q: Does Nopalea contain any sugar, artificial sweeteners, colors or flavors?

A: No. The fruit of the Nopal cactus naturally tastes sweet. Agave has been added as well. Agave is a succulent cactus from the Sonora Desert that concentrates a syrup or nectar in its root. We juice the Nopal fruit and filter the Agave nectar as the chief ingredients in Nopalea. We have also added many other fruits and vegetables to enhance both the flavor and function of Nopalea.

Some of the vegetables we added to Nopalea have a slightly bitter taste to them. The sweet leaf Stevia cuts the bitterness completely! So, I use a microscopic amount of Stevia to neutralize the bitter notes.

There are natural colors in Nopalea. They are made from the skin of cherries because cherries have an intense red similar to Nopal fruit. There are also natural flavors in Nopalea. These are made by distilling the aromatic oils and phenolics (compounds that give plants their aroma and color) from the fruit. Seasonal harvests of Nopal fruit vary from year to year, but natural flavors and colors keep our product more consistent than many other natural products. With Nopalea, you always know what you are getting!

Seeing that Nopalea contains other ingredients other than the fruit of the nopal cactus, I decided to take a look at the other ingredients. So off to the Google I went. Since there was not a lot of information, I decided to just stick with Wikipedia (www.Wikipedia.com).

First we'll look at Agave nectar:

Agave nectar (also called Agave syrup) is a sweetener commercially produced in Mexico from several species of Agave, including the Blue Agave (Agave tequilana), Salmiana Agave (Agave salmiana), Green Agave, Grey Agave, Thorny Agave, and Rainbow Agave. Agave nectar is sweeter than honey, though less viscous. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agave_nectar)

Then we will look a Stevia.

Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical regions from western North America to South America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.

With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stevia)

There has been some concern that Stevia may not be safe. However, after several scientific studies, the facts remain that "despite all of the scientific evidence, both positive and negative, no clear agreements have been drawn about the dangers of stevia."

"On the one hand, stevia has been in wide use in Japan for the past 30 years, and to date, no evidence of any adverse reactions have surfaced during this time." (http://safety.lovetoknow.com/Dangers_of_Stevia)

If you have any concerns regarding Nopalea, its ingredients, and is it safe, you should always contact your health professional or your medical doctor. I'm not a medical professional, or a scientist, nor do I profess to know all about this product. All I know is that regular users have been getting tremendous results, especially when it comes to fighting inflammation. And, I believe there is enough scientific evidence to back up that statement. All you have to do is do the research - DO NOT take my word for it.
