Hi Everybody!

Happy December! I’m not sure if you’ve heard that I’m your newest Advisory Board Member. Although I treasure the time I spent at the 21TEN corporate office I am now back in the field and building my own 21TEN empire. For those of you that know me, you must know how wonderful it is for me, and actually it’s like coming home again. My business started on the top of a four-drawer file cabinet tucked away in the corner of my tiny kitchen. As I reflect back, I have come a long way since then and virtually everything has changed in my life. But my love for working from home, being my own boss, and creating freedom and opportunity for others has never wavered. So, that being said, I am home.

This is a time of year that really means a lot of different things to different people. We see family and friends, we remember the people we’ve lost, and we look forward to a new year and all the possibilities that it holds. It can be a time when we reflect and realize that nothing is as special as our relationships with all the people in our lives and the short time we have together. It is also a time for change and growth, and the opportunity that we have to offer might be exactly the solution someone you know is praying for. The vitality that we have to offer with Life Shotz and income possibilities is a powerful gift. That’s the way I see it.

I would like to encourage to do what I am doing this Holiday Season. Develop a realistic plan to keep focused on your goals and do just a little bit every day on your business. Don’t get so caught up in plans for parties and shopping and worrying about shopping and turkeys that you let your business building activities slide. I have learned that now is the time to work smartest so you can pull ahead! Health and nutritional products have monthly sales levels that are as much as 22 percent higher in January, and if you prepare now, you will be ready for the New Years’ resolutions and the “January effect.” Remember what coach Vince Lombardi taught us: “Winners win because winners are willing to prepare to win.”

A few tips for working through the Holidays

• Be prepared to hand out Life Shotz brochures with your name and ID# affixed to them as you hear people tell you they are exhausted, sick and tired, broke, bored, and frustrated. Listen to people and find out how you can help them live better lives.
• Tell your story openly and honestly, sharing how Life Shotz has changed your life.
• Take a genuine interest in all the new and familiar people you meet, learning what makes them tick, really listening to them in a way that shows you care. And then, with respect and proper timing, giving them an opportunity to take the steps that will change their life.
• Keep updating your list. Who are you meeting? How many people do you know who need more energy? And how many could use a little extra cash to warm their pockets?

If someone wants to try a box, get them hooked. Sell them a box. They are only $30 and carry a 100% Money Back Guarantee. Sometimes people notice a difference with one stick, and for most, it takes an average of three days (one stick per day) to notice the “wow” effect. Have them commit to trying it every day and follow up at day three and 10.

And talk about the opportunity! This isn’t just about the product. It is about people and their hopes, desires, and dreams. This opportunity is for everyone. The soccer mom, the athlete, the business owner, the daily grinder. Almost everyone could use an extra $500, $1000, or more each month. How would that change their life?

This is what we are doing. I’m walking the walk and sold two Business Builders Kits this last Saturday.

Now is the time to take big strides and set your business up for record growth in 2011!

Have a powderful and productive holidays!
