Making Healthy Decisions While Traveling

Making healthy decisions while traveling can be one of the most difficult things to do in your life. However, if you learn how to make smart choices, a healthy choice is really not that difficult. Although, this is probably not the best time in which to start a healthy diet, but if you are currently making healthy choices in your foods already, modifying your decisions slightly to accommodate travel is not as it first may seem.

If you are traveling by airplane, you will still be able to make a healthy choice. It may have to include airplane food, which can often be poor for your health, depending on the selection. When you book your flight, ask about your food options. You may want to request vegetarian dishes. Vegatarian dishes are sometimes more nutritional in this case, but it really depends on what they will be serving. If you can, eat a larger meal before your flight so that you don’t have to eat the entire meal that is served, to feel full. Drink plenty of water. Water will also make you feel full.

When driving or taking a bus, you may be tempted to stop at fast food restaurants and eat the foods found there. Avoid this whenever possible! Prepare a carry on bag with fresh fruit, grains, of vegatables, and plenty of water. If you’re on vacation, you may wish to splurge a tiny bit, but having fast food more than one during a week can really be bad for your health. If you must, choose the healthiest options available, like chicken breasts and water or juice.

Also, remember that you can take your own food when traveling. Carrying a loaf of whole-wheat bread, pita wraps, crackers, some lean lunchmeat, and low-fat cheese in a cooler is a great way to avoid high-fat and high-cholesterol junk food meals. This will also assure that you are making a healthy decision while Traveling.

Lastly, make smart choices when you eat out. If you choose salads or pasta get the dressing on the side and ask about low-carb options. In fact, many places print these options directly in the menu for the health-conscious people. Control your portions by ordering lunch menu sizes or splitting the meal in half and getting a doggie bag, and you’ll be well on your way to healthy eating, even away from home.

Yes, eating healthy foods when you travel can be a challenge. However, your health is worth it. When you eat healthy foods, you will also fight illnesses that you are likely to encounter when traveling and you will be more alert. Making Healthy decisions while traveling will also help you so that you can enjoy your vacations.

Should Leaders Follow on Twitter?

Twitter has become the fastest phenomenon on the Internet. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?


My friend, sent me a message through Twitter. She suggested that, I should not follow everyone that's following me. She implied, "you do not appear to be a leader. "


Well, you decide if you want to appear to be a leader or lead. If you are in Network Marketing, Internet Marketing, Direct Sales or any field that involves recruiting, hiring, prospecting, or sales, you should follow your followers.


What are the advantages of following? You learn what your prospect/customer is thinking. You learn their hobbies, if they are married, have children. You learn what they do for a living. You learn their likes, and dislikes. They will tell you, what they need through tweetering. Do not think that, you will not learn from your followers. To think such thing, is the same as saying, you can't learn anything from a poor man.


You can use Twitter for marketing. What if your follower express a need, or have a question. You may be able to help them through giving them ideas, or pointing them in the right direction. What if you want to come up with a product launch, or new ideas for your business? Your Followers will tell you whats their need or wants.


When you are tweetering, make sure you are having fun. Although, you may work at home or have your own business try to talk about other things that you do. You can share where you traveling too, what you are eating for dinner, if you workout, or what books you like to read. Try not to be all about business, and show that you "take time to smell the roses".


Make sure that whenever you are tweetering, that it appears in the question "What are you doing?" Eg: "I am reading Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill. Viewing this website http://www.easy6k.com, learning how to make $6,000 guaranteed! Giving away 3 Days, 2 Nights Hotel Accommodations www.wealthwithme.com or reading a testimonial about people who lost 7lbs within their first week!" www.ximohealth.com/stl



I find Twitter to be a great relationship building tool. You meet people worldwide, you learn what their life is like. It's as though you are traveling around the world.


Finally, If you are tweetering you may find that you and your follower have a common interest. He/she may want to connect with you outside of Twitter, they may know someone that can use your services or products. Lastly, you make new friends, customers, or business partners. Have fun tweetering!


What are your thoughts? What are the disadvantages of following your followers on Twitter?

Are you Anti-Social?

Social networking is all about sharing valuable content and making friends. We as human beings are social creatures. "Web 2.0 is a way to build credibility and make your personality known be consistently ‘alive’ and ‘in the now’ on the Internet. You can also accumulate more backlinks and subsequently more traffic to your sites.

Teenagers and adults mostly use social networking sites. There are now niche social networking sites, which target people who share common interests like parenting or investing. In addition to teenagers and adults, social networks are increasingly becoming used by another group—businesses. That's right, many businesses are now using social networks to advertise in some subtle manner—and then replicate their message through systems that are already available within the social network.

I’ll discuss how to advertise without the in-your-face approach with tact. The most well known social network is MySpace, which membership base is well over one hundred million and it grows daily. If your product or services you are offering has a broad appeal, you may want to use MySpace to market your product, as you will be able to reach the largest crowd quickly.

Now, there are a number of different ways in which you can market your product or services through MySpace. One way is to setup a profile, and then begin adding friends to your list on a daily basis. You can include a direct link to your Social Networking Site, when you send emails. Depending on your goals, you may want to add a personal profile for yourself and then talk about your business/product on your page; or you may want to simply create a profile for your business and use that to market your product or services.

While you can send out bulletins advertising your product or services through MySpace, this is generally discouraged by the Myspace staff which could lead to you getting banned. It is probably a good idea to avoid this; instead, post related bulletins that don't advertise your product, but talk about something similar. This will drive interested visitors to your page, where they can learn more about the product or services you are offering. Note however, that you will have to use your domain or link to a non-affiliate page, as affiliate links are forbidden on MySpace.


Once you have had some experience marketing to the MySpace crowd, you will want to consider looking at other social networking sites. One other fastest growing phenomenon site is Twitter. Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co-workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Facebook is another large social networking site, which caters specifically to college and high school students. You will also want to look for niche networking sites, such as BetterNetworker.com, or Warrior which will afford you an opportunity to capture a more targeted audience.

Whichever sites you decide to use, keep the following in mind:

1) Your goal should be to develop a network of people who, first and foremost, share a common interest. For this reason, it is always a good idea to think long term (i.e. don't do things that are going to get you banned). Selling your products or services can always come later. Take the time to read everything that is available, the rules, regulations and protocol, and get a feel for how members interact with one another on the site.

2) When you are ready to talk, always ‘say’ things with a smile; think customer service. Compliment members about themselves. You can do this through visiting their websites or blogs, go through their content, understand what they are all about and praise them for their expertise or knowledge in the subject matter. Now this is only the first part…

3) The second part of your remark offers a benefit for visiting your site in kind, like a free download, or a free vacation voucher. Here is an example: "Hi xxx, I really like the things you write about your travels. You sure travel far and wide. You can receive a 3 day 2 night Hotel Accommodation for two at http://www.wealthwithme.com/ (of course use your website) Thanks for visiting!"

Sometimes you may not have anything to offer, but just leaving a comment on the other member’s account is good enough to stamp a presence for other future members to come by and take notice of you. You just have to do it consistently. Be active and in the "now".

One thing to bear in mind is you are not going to befriend everyone depending on how you project your image through the avatar (photo) and how you ‘sound’ like through your comments, but you are going to attract a certain type of people who are likely to become repeat visitors to your sites. One very useful tool can help you identify who these people are…

4) This tool is the widget. A widget is a proprietary HTML code offered by the social networking site which you publish on your site and it tracks a variety of data like daily visitor count, which countries or sites visitors are coming from (knowing this can help you tailor content to target specific countries), your most popularly read blog posts, and especially who visits your site. If you keep seeing a "same old" avatar and username who keeps popping up on your site, you’d better pay attention to this visitor because s/he is already paying attention to you! This effect is reciprocal. Write to him/her further to forge a closer relationship, dig deep whenever possible to find out what s/he wants and give him/her the value s/he is looking for. The most straightforward manner is to invite them to an opt-in page on your website, blog, lens or Hub pages. Doing this helps you build relationships, and build your list. Remember, The fortune is in the list.

5) Address your visitors by their names. Simply go to their sites and look for an ‘about’ page or a profile page. You may find both of you share common interests and an opportunity to collaborate from here. Why not comment your Spaniard, or European visitors in their native languages too? You can simply go to Google Translate and translate simple sentences like "thank you for visiting" or "good morning". They will be impressed!

I used to think it would be hard to run your own Web 2.0 domain, but not anymore. You can simply Google "free social networking site script" You can use Ping.fm. Ping.fm is a simple service that makes updating your social networks a snap, you can update from anywhere! You can download *Boonex, which is a Free Software that makes it easy to deploy and manage dating sites, social networks, online clubs, or virtual communities. If you’re serious about building relationships, and creating customers, uses services that will allow you to leverage your time while you focus on building your business. For an immediate list of 79 top social networking sites, check out Jeff Johnson’s list.

* There is ongoing controversy over the use of this software. While the management behind MySpace once declared that their site can detect and remove such usage, still there are few more products coming out. I am unsure of their effectiveness. My next question is: would you be happy adding 100 friends a day instead of 300? There is such a thing as "going overboard". Read the terms and conditions for limits. My last question concerns with targeting: How inclined are your ‘friends’ towards paying attention to you? It’s not just that adder software add friends without sense; more so in a cultural sense, people add friends to chalk up the numbers, then they boast, "Oh, I have 10,000 friends!" Remember, the old-school idea of loving friendship and remain sociable.

Selling or Helping?

It all started 20 years ago....I began my Network Marketing Business in High School. Selling, candy, soda, chips to my fellow classmates. Its was then that I knew, I wanted to be in sales. I sold clothes, jewelry, lotions, insurance, real estate, fragrances. I've tried quite a few entrepreneur ventures with little or no help. Little, did I know that it was leading me to Network Marketing. In Network Marketing you are selling your product to your customers, and you help others decide if they too, want to sell the product.

Wikipedia definition of sales: Academically, selling is thought of as a part of marketing[1], however, the two disciplines are completely different. Sales often forms a separate grouping in a corporate structure, employing separate specialist operatives known as salespeople (singular: salesperson). Selling is considered by many to be a sort of persuading "art". Contrary to popular belief, the methodological approach of selling refers to a systematic process of repetitive and measurable milestones, by which a salesperson relates his or her offering of a product or service in return enabling the buyer to achieve their goal in an economic way.[2]
While the sales process refers to a systematic process of repetitive and measurable milestones, the definition of the selling is somewhat ambiguous due to the close nature of advertising, promotion, public relations, and direct marketing. Selling involves sales which are the pinnacle act of completed of a purchasing activity.

Webster Dictionary, Help: 1: give assistance or support 2: to be of use or benefit.

Listen my friend, Network Marketing is both selling and helping others. Okay, I know what you are thinking, I hate sales. We sell ourselves to our children, our spouse, our boss, our friends everyday. We are not born "sales people" It's a learned behavior, or something that you read which compels you to help others. When you are helping others, you are actually selling yourself.

Here is the scary part... knowing when to sell or assist. When promoting, or advertising your business do you immediately start selling your opportunity? When people inquire about your business do you send them directly to the website, give them a DVD, or magazine? Most people think that its better to get the information in front of the prospect first. What you should focus on, is how can your product or services will help make their lives better? I suggest, get to know the person first. See if they fit in with your team,. Learn if they should qualify for your time, or assistance.

Here are three questions you should ask when qualifying a prospect .

1. What kind of income would you like to generate in a business of your own?
2. Other than money, what are you looking for in a business?
3. In the perfect business, what would your business look like/be?

If they qualify, get the information in front of them right away. Show a sense of urgency, so that they prospect will take a look at what you are offering now. Then ask, what did you like best about the ad, website, conference call (whatever source you directed them too)? If they see a opportunity, they will join. So therefore, help them get started and continue to support and train your prospect. Please remember this, you do not have to sell, people hate to be sold. Prospect sell themselves, once you focus on their needs and wants. Expect to get one yes, out of every ten. You are looking for prospects that are looking for you. Also, do not try to sell your customers the opportunity until they have used your products. Most customers, become a business partner once they have experienced the products.

Here is why, you want to get started helping and not selling right away! Time does not wait for anyone. In fact, the world is moving at a fast pace. Bigger no longer mean better, fast is better. If you separate yourself from others that are selling opportunities, and begin to help others sell themselves, you will grow a big network fast! Furthermore, successful people are quick to make a decision, and slow to quit. You want people who decide now, to change their situation. However, just because a prospect says no to your opportunity it does not mean give up on them. Sometimes, it could money, time or their negative friends or family members. "No's" are bugs on their windshield, help them remove the bug. You can help them focus on their wants and needs. Only then will you have a successful partner or a customer. Continue to give, without any expectations and then you will enjoy time and financial freedom. Learn the art of selling, and help make people lives better!
