How do you wake up in the morning? Are you charged and ready to go to work or are you depressed just thinking that today may be the day they hand you that pink slip?
With layoffs looming in every workplace you may be feeling “lucky” that you still have your job. But you also may be working more with little or no increase to show for it.
Take matters into your own hands and tell them “I QUIT!”
With your own home-based business, you set your hours and you only answer to one person: YOU. Your efforts bring in the results so this is definitely not a get-rich-quick scheme. You’ll have to work to see results, just like Juliet who was homeless and living in her car when she found out about our company. She was able to find the money to get started and within one year was able to retire her mother. She has made well over $1 million* and is a top director in our company.
If you’re not serious about changing your circumstances, stop reading now. If you’re not willing to do the work, stop reading now. We are looking for about six dedicated, driven people who are ready to do what it takes to become “recession-proof” and "financially free." Training is available. So if you’re interested in learning more, visit us online or call me at 732-983-0802. This will expire on Friday, February 20, 2009

Atlanta, Weddings, Cruises and more!
Weekend in Atlanta
I just returned from another training seminar with Dani Johnson in Atlanta and we had a blast! While in Atlanta we stayed at the Red Roof Inn, located only 20 minutes from the airport and in the heart of downtown Atlanta. We were only a few blocks away from the actual seminar location, which was at the Sheraton Atlanta. We visited the Mall at Peachtree Center several times for lunch. We also visited the 24-hour Metro Cafe' Diner which invites it’s customers in with fun music, a bar and karaoke. On our last night we ordered food from Pittypat’s Porch, a place filled with Southern comfort, from the décor to the menu and place settings, to the hearty meals they serve. The walls are full of American antiques while the tables are adorned with heavy pewter serviceware. The menus are printed on fans, a staple of the south. And I have to tell you, the crispy fried chicken served with homemade garlic mashed potatoes and gravy just filled me up with delight!
Although our stay was short, everything we needed to sightsee was close by. The Atlanta Civic Center, which is currently running the King Tut Exhibit through May 2009, and Georgia Aquarium are both less than a mile away. The World of Coca-Cola Museum, only a mile away, offers guests the world’s largest collection of Coke memorabilia, tasting experience of over 60 different products, a 4-D Theater (3D movie with moving seats), as well as the world-famous Coca-Cola® Polar Bear and much more.

Destination Weddings and Honeymoons
I was finally able to listen to the training seminar on Ask Me... About Destination Weddings. They work with travel professionals such as myself or directly with the bride & groom to handle every detail of the wedding arrangements, from deciding on the destination, the hotel and the amenities to be included. Destinations include the Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica, and a multitude of islands in the Caribbean, as well as a handful of private island collections for the ultimate in privacy and comfort. Every destination wedding they plan is customized to the needs and wants of the bride & groom – ensuring every couple receives the individual attention they truly deserve. So stay tuned on more information about this company...

Everyday is New Day
So many people say they are “fed up” with the way things are in their lives. They complain about their jobs, their house, their marriage and/or kids, even the weather! But if you’re not doing something about it (if you can) and continue to do the same thing day in and day out, then you don’t really have the right to complain.
I have to admit, I have not done enough with my business. God put this opportunity in front of us (my husband and I) for a reason. I believe he saw great things for us if we learned how to use HIM and the tools provided by the company to really help other people. But I have been lazy. When I get home from work I make the excuses “I’m tired,” or “it’s too late.” Or even worse, I let fear overtake me! Those annoying voices saying, “you can’t do it,” or “you don’t deserve it.” Yet, there are so many people out there, not just in my business but also in other businesses, who have kids, work full-time and are still making money to achieve their goals of financial freedom and time freedom. So I have no excuses!
I’m still learning that I can start new every day and not worry about what happened yesterday or last week. I need to press forward because it’s my duty to help as many people as I can. Everyday I ask God to guide my steps in the right direction.
So what would I do if my business exploded? The list is short: I would break those bonding chains of debt for us and for immediate family members, we would save some money and invest some, and of course I would give to charity (not just money but my time as well) because God deemed it so in my life. No fancy house or car. No closet full of the latest fashion. I don’t need to prove my wealth by buying things to appease people. Earthly possessions cannot follow me to heaven. What’s the point of gaining all that income if I don’t share it? And while sharing it I would spread God’s message of love, hope and mercy.
Ok! Now that all the ugly stuff is out of the way, here’s some fantastic news that came out of this year’s National Convention:
THE SATURDAY EVENING POST MAGAZINE FEATURING COACH
One of the most prestigious magazines in the country has chosen Coach to be on the cover! The Saturday Evening Post, the longest running continually published magazine in the history of the United States, has selected Coach to be on their 2008 Special August edition. The magazine features a four-page article on Coach's life and gives you an inside look behind his vision to create 10,000 millionaires.
The ABC's Guys
The ABC's Guys Dr. Denis Cauvier and Alan Lysaght have made an addition to their book "The ABC's of Making Money" as they have finally found a second company the meets all 15 principles they consider crucial to finding a viable business. The first company you may have heard of, it's Primerica, and we all know who the second company is, and that YTB! What an endorsement!

YTB Makes News...
Once again YTB is making news. Last year it was when Royal Caribbean terminated their relationship with “card mills,” stating that companies like YTB are “a scheme which denigrates the stature and role of the legitimate travel retailer.”
This year it’s the lawsuit filed by the California Attorney General against three subsidiaries of YTB International and certain executive officers of the company. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated California's unfair competition and advertising laws. Strange how both of these events took place right when YTB was hosting Funshine and the National Convention...
So to say the least, I’m disheartened that the travel community is taking this stab against a company I represent. I do support “brick and mortar” travel agents. They provide an invaluable service to people looking to escape from the mundane. However I didn’t sign up with one. Grant it no one knows me from a hole in the wall, but I take great pride in YTB. When I heard of all the success stories of people getting out of debt, and being able to spend more time with their families, my husband and I jumped at the chance to do the same. We get to “work” at our own pace and we know that if we don’t “work it” then it won’t work! It’s just common sense. We get to sell travel (and various other products) and “travel stores” in the hopes of making that extra cash to retire by 40. What’s so wrong with that? And there are hundreds of thousands of YTB agents that decided to quit their full-time job to work on their YTB business. So you know they have to have a serious interest in travel, right?
For me, I really do love to travel. For me, it’s not about sitting on a beach five days in a row. I love learning about different places and experiencing life in other parts of the world. I love being able to learn the history and culture of wherever I go. Everyone has some sort of “travel experience” they would like to check off from their “Things to Do” list, whether it’s an African safari or trekking through the Amazon, or even just a road trip through the States. All in all it’s about really living life and not just the daily grind of a 9-5 job just to pay your sky-high mortgage or your car payment.
So when I can, I read travel magazines and listen to conference calls to stay up with the latest travel news, and occasionally take online courses either through YTB or through travel vendors.
I’m not claiming to know all there is to know about the travel industry or MLM's for that matter. And frankly I don’t want to know. And there may be some of you out there who don’t agree with me, or YTB. But the truth is MLM’s are not going away and YTB will stay the fight. If you want read more about what’s going on with YTB check out Just Picture it Now. Or visit Travel Agent Magazine or Travel Weekly to read on how the industry is responding to the YTB lawsuit.

My State-side Travels
I just returned from another Dani Johnson seminar in Pittsburgh, PA. This was actually my fourth seminar. These are not travel-related seminars, but more for people who own traditional businesses as well as entrepreneurs. I didn’t think I would be doing this much traveling that really wasn’t for pleasure. My husband and I had made tentative travel plans for a trip to Costa Rica and a cruise at the end of the year but these seminars popped up and we felt like we could not pass them up.
Unfortunately because of the time allotted for the seminar I didn’t get a chance to check out the city of Pittsburgh. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency Pittsburgh Int'l Airport, which was literally at the airport. I’m usually wary of staying in those kinds of hotels because of the noise from the airplanes but surprisingly it was not loud. The rooms were very well appointed: the décor was modern, in shades of black, brown, gray and tan. The room contained an L-shaped work desk and marble counters topped the bathroom sink and vanity. For the 2-night stay I was very comfortable in the king-sized bed full of soft, fluffy pillows.
So this being my fourth seminar, I guess I should tell you about the other states my travels have taken me. The first event was in Chicago back in April, which was held at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare. Again, there was no time to see the city, as these seminars are only 2 or 3 days. There I stayed with my sister-in-law at the Sofitel Chicago O’Hare on the outskirts of the airport and across from the Hyatt. Gold and red furniture and linens made this hotel seem regal. My favorite amenity: plush robes in the closet. Free shuttle service took us from the airport and back.
The next seminar was in Portland, Oregon. That’s about as far west as I’ve ever gone in the States. Here my husband and I stayed at The Hilton Portland & Executive Tower. This hotel was located in downtown Portland with a majestic view of Mount Hood. This time we had time to check out the local area since we had a midnight flight back to New York. For lunch we headed to Typhoon! located at the Hotel Lucia. I dined on King’s Noodles, a non-spicy noodle dish with chicken and shrimp. For dinner we opted for American cuisine at Jake’s Grill. I noticed Portland is a very young and hip city that is also family friendly. I would definitely visit again one day in the future. One thing to note, this hotel does not offer shuttle service, but there is the MAX Lightrail System for access to the airport and other local attractions.
Dallas was the location for the third seminar. Here we stayed at the Hotel Intercontinental Dallas, in close proximity to corporate buildings on Dallas Parkway. Decorated in hues of gold and blue with rich mahogany furnishings, the room had a very relaxed atmosphere. Although shuttles were available to the local mall, we opted to stay close to the hotel. For lunch one day, we headed over to Freebirds World Burrito, about a block away from the hotel at the Old Town Shopping Center. The fun menu hosts an array of burritos with names such as The FreeBird, the ½ Bird and the Monster as well as “Not-Burritos” such as quesadillas, salads and “Bird Bowls.” It boasts all types of sauces from mild tomatillo sauce to habanero sauce, which consists of real habanero peppers and spices. Moderately priced, the food here was well worth it. A quirky plus: The walls are decorated with foil cars, flowers, animals and more, from its very artistic customers.
What’s our next stop? Currently it’s Atlanta, Georgia for a 3-day seminar in December. I’m hoping we can schedule some time to see what this Southern city has to offer.
By the way, Happy Birthday to my mom, whose birthday was on Sunday and I didn't get to spend it with her. Love you mom!
