I hope you all had a great night seeing in the New Year and are not feeling too delicate today? Anyways, just check out my 60 sec video message I made for you. Let’s ROCK in 2009!

At this time of year I start to think about what my New Year’s resolution is going to be. What went well over the past year? How did it go for me? Am I happy with the results I got? Do I wish I had more or accomplished more?

You might have achieved some of your goals and feeling you made it to where you want to be or got what you wanted in 2008. On the other hand you may be feeling that you wished you had done more over the past year and can’t believe you let it slide by not taking daily action or doing what you were supposed to do.

Either way, no matter how you feel, start thinking about 2009. What are you going to be doing for the next 365 days of your life. It is such an important time of the year to be making decisions. You can’t change the past, but you can have influence on your future. Believe in your yourself and you will believe you can…

He’s a few of my own thoughts as I map out 2009.

Dream freely
Envision excellence
Cherish your creations
Exude enthusiasm
Be inspired
Take pride in you
Recognize inner beauty
Draw on inner strength
Look inside your soul
Create peace
Seek truth
Spread joy
Embark on adventure
Launch new ideas
Think big
Invoke positives
Live fully
Reach out
Aim high
Find happiness
Expect the best
Be the best

To your continued success and personal growth!..

“Like a rainbow, good friends bring sunshine wherever they are in the world!”

Top 5 Recession Proof Careers

No job is ever 100% safe, but some industries provide more recession proof careers than others. The top 5 recession proof careers that will maintain strong growth even in a global recession are: education, energy, health care, environmental, security and for those who can speak languages international business offers many exciting opportunities.

…And The 6th Recession Proof Career

But there is another recession proof career choice that offers you the best financial defence against recession and that is starting a home-based business.

Why?

Firstly, many smart people look to leverage the LEGAL Tax Benefits of ANY legitimate Home Based Business to increase their after tax, take home income by as much as $200-$800 or more per month before they ever generate a single lead, sell a single product or recruit a single new associate into their business.

Secondly, the Network Marketing industry has historically shown that during a recession it experiences phenomenal growth and generates many more millionaires than any other industry. Both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (best selling author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant) agree that the new Network Marketing business model offers the average person their best chance to become wealthy.

If you’d like more information on starting a recession proof career in Network Marketing and achieving success using the new Attraction Marketing way and not using “old school” methods then please visit my website: NicheAttractionMarketing.com

It didn’t take long before I became frustrated with shelling out my hard earned cash and burning the midnight oil trying to build and market my mlm business.

The investment just never seemed to end, web hosting, autoresponders, squeeze pages, advertising, outsourcing, printing, webcam, video editing software, ebooks and more training courses. All the outlay and steep learning curve was getting me down.

I began to think you really can’t get ahead in your network marketing business if you have to keep spending a ton on advertising, especially when you are starting out and going through all that trial and error process to discover what works best for you and your personality type.

Wouldn’t it be great if…

Now wouldn’t it be great if someone could show you step by step how you can build your network marketing business without spending a ton of money or wasting hours of time while doing it?

Well, finally there is some good news …and I hope this idea brings a great big smile to your face!

Whilst recently checking out some free advertising sources I came across something that I think will really help explode YOUR PRIMARY BUSINESS and boost your bottom line as it has mine.

It is a well crafted and “ready to go” funded proposal video training series that has been put together by top gun Internet Marketer Paul Birdsall, it is called “FREE Leads 4 Life”.

Not only do you get to position yourself as an MLM expert instead of of some sales person like every other networker that doesn’t know what they are doing, you also get Internet marketing training so you can build YOUR PRIMARY BIZ (or learn how to generate your own leads) FAST!

Now you to can get all this Internet Marketing training from the one site, there’s no bait and switch like some of those so called automated systems out there that don’t tell you when you put down your $65 sign-up fee that you’ll have to go buy this and buy that before you can even use their system effectively.

FREE Leads 4 Life is ideal for home business owners and mlm newbies to follow. It is inexpensive and shows you step-by-step how to build your mlm business without rejection, frustration or spending money on leads and advertising.

If you follow in Paul Birdsall’s shoes and do exactly what he does over the next 30 days then you will be well on your way to making an extra $3,000 per month.

Why $3,000?

Well, lets crunch some numbers here.

FREE Leads 4 Life mlm funded proposal has a sales letter that converts at 10%. So say you get 50 people a day by natural sources to fill out your funded proposal squeeze page.

50 x 10% = 5 sales a day.
5 retail sales a day x 30 days = 150 retail sales.
150 retail sales x $20 = $3,000 commission!

If you focus each day on getting people to opt-in using natural sources like press releases, articles, video, blogs, Squidoo etc you will soon achieve a massive cash flow by leveraging this powerful mlm funded proposal.

Like me you’ll be making money on the front end that pays for your advertising, generating targeted FREE leads and well trained prospects for your network marketing business. And as you know, it is easier to sponsor an existing customer than a complete stranger.

Think about it. 50 targeted leads a day is achievable by anyone. You can get FREE access to these helpful videos by going here.

Enjoy your new found wealth,

Ollie Relfe

This month has been the first under the *new* and *improved* Comp Plan, and as we are about to close out 2008 it felt like the right time to summarize my mlm progress and where I see my mlm energy drink business going in 2009.

For most of us the credit squeeze finally hit home after seeing household name banks and institutions collapse or become nationalised across the globe.

All my mlm businesses continue to grow and checking my stats and google analytics I have noticed a MASSIVE increase in mlm opportunity buying traffic from the middle of October onwards. I guess that follows what the mlm Profs have been saying for months, in that the network marketing industry always goes into a MASSIVE boom period whenever a recession strikes.

And if you have been following Robert T. Kiyosaki, then you are well aware of the amazing opportunities to be found for those with the entrepreneurial mindset.

Now,.. I am of course just like everyone else - a freak of nature! *lol* I experience the same peaks and troughs in my mlm home business, the emotional highs and lows, the excitement and the burn, the triumphs and the setbacks, but I have a plan and I work it. My goal is to achieve a better quality of life for those that come into my world and for myself by helping you.

I’ve also added a new program to the mlm portfolio called Message Magic, so be sure to check it out as the software tool can bring you unlimited targeted leads.

By the way, if you need some inspiration join me at the Facebook group Hurricane of Gratitude as there are some wonderful inspirational videos posted by ordinary people from all over the world.

Now,.. my loyal fans will know this has been a testing year for me. The 24hr care my mother required up until her death at the end of July became a big distraction from my business. I am truly thankful that the residuals income from all my mlm business interests helped me cope financially during the years and months of caring, especially during the past few months during closure of her estate.

Moving forwards…

My mlm energy drink business continues to grow worldwide, but let’s go through my Ten Must Have MLM Business Ingredients to see what has or has not changed.

	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 1: **HUGE DEMAND** # No change, it gets even better in 2009! #
	For any business to be successful, it must have a product that someone needs and wants. There has been no change here, in fact the worldwide energy drink market continues to EXPLODE at a massive pace. Plus we now have the world’s best weight management product with multi-billion market potential.
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 2: **LOW MAINTENANCE** # No change. #
	Who needs to spend all day on the phone servicing some over priced mlm product? (None of that here!) The ACT product line remains simple with no explaining necessary. Just add water, shake and drink!
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 3: **NO STOCK** # Some challenges but continues to get better. #
	Did you really want to fill up your garage, your basement, or half your bedroom with a bunch of mlm products that no one will buy? No way! The ACT product line remains LOW COST and comes direct from the manufacturer to your door step. It has been a hassle free service, but dealing internationally there have been some difficult challenges with Customs until the company smoothed the teething troubles. Importing to the UK hit a hiccup one week in November with Sterling in free fall against the Dollar. That resulted in one of my autoship packets going over the free allowance threshold and become liable for VAT to be paid to Customs …which I claimed back of course!
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 4: **NO EMPLOYEES** # No change. #
	Avoid the cost, the hiring headaches, the training, the sickies - nuff said!!
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 5: **RESIDUAL INCOME** # Changed for the better #
	You do the hard graft work once and get paid over and over again - Bliss! Your customers will remain customers month after month. The results they get from using ACT and BodyTrim will ensure that, for the vast majority, once they start, they won’t want to stop. I am experiencing a very high repeat order rate, not just once but multiple times. More power to Green Tea!!
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 6: **RESPECTABILITY** # No change. #
	This is a win-win business you can be proud of. Your customers benefit from results on the product. You win with a profitable networking business and prestige and respect within your community.
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 7: **LOW-COST** # No change. #
	One of the cheapest investments you’ll ever make, and your repeat customers mean profit month after month after month! I don’t know of any other company in the industry that can boast about its LOW PRICES like this one can.
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 8: **Little or NO RISK INVOLVED** # New sites launching #
	Rest assured, this business continues to out-perform anything else out there in the mlm industry despite the gloomy economy. Free enroll, free dealer website and a low monthly requirement make this a very affordable business and one in which success can be achieved quite rapidly. New dealer sites are coming out shortly and from what I have seen on the new company site they are the best so far. But every dealer has the same site, so you still need to create your own squeeze pages so that you can brand yourself to stand out in the crowd. My best tip: learn to brand yourself. It doesn’t matter how or where you start, just so long as you do. Branding yourself is always going to be a work in progress!
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 9: **RAPID PAYBACK** # Changed for the better. #
	Most dealers are recouping their initial start-up investment very quickly with the generous company promos and matching bonuses. The new Comp plan is much better and pays out even quicker! I never did like the 5th cycle rewards points catalogue thingy, I’d prefer to pocket the cash and not get Ipod or Rolex. So I was pleased when they announced a Global Bonus Pool had replaced this 5th cycle. It will be exciting to see just how massive the first payouts will be, as within other programs the global bonus pool feature always paid out tons in bonus cash.
	Ideal MLM Business Ingredient 10: **NO HARASSING FRIENDS or FAMILY** # Such a relief! #
	Myspace, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Squidoo and other social sites have made it easier to find a constant flow of targeted prospects for our mlm opportunity. Those ‘old school’ network maketing techniques no longer work. We now leverage the power of the Internet to drive prospects into our automated sales funnel which can drastically improve your financal security by having leads chasing you.
Looking ahead to 2009… With the recession going to bite hard here in the UK, the really smart people will be looking to get involved in an international mlm business and one that pays on all volume and not just a few measly levels like in some mlm programs. So what are you waiting for?? Let’s connect and ROCK in 2009! Get your FREE dealer site here.

I don’t get involved in any forced matrix spillover program unless I have a real need for the product or marketing tool. I’m not driven by the hyperbol of spillover cash flow but by the quality of the product and how it can help my PRIMARY business. Which is just as well as every time I’ve joined an “mlm cash matrix” to get rich quick (hehe!:) I never received the promised spillover cash flow, or if I did they were by free placeholders who would just “sit to wait and see what happens” and then of course nothing ever did!!

Next… I would get people who upgraded and would see their first month as an investment to help market their primary business, but half way through the 2nd month they’d turn negative and cancel their subscription. And that always scuppered my chances of receiving a payout because the program minimums to get paid were more often than not set too high by scamming admins.

Now if this all sounds familiar then I guess we have a lot in common…

These days it takes a heck of a lot of convincing to become involved in any program that promises to pay commissions on a forced matrix plan unless I need the product for my business (i.e. advertising and hosting).

That said, I created this page to share the revolutionary Message Magic list building tool with you, and that happens to have an equally revolutionary “pulsating matrix” which makes things passive income.

The Pulsating Matrix

I really like the compensation plan. It’s called The Pulsating Matrix. It allows for everyone to be at the top or near the top of the company matrix and earn an income each month. This is very exciting for people who have never made a cent before. One of my contacts has told me that he made just under $1,000 in his first month and so far he hasn’t sponsored anyone and hasn’t even set up the system. To say that he is excited is an understatement.

There are no sponsoring requirements to earn
commissions in The Pulsating Matrix.

Message Magic have done away with all those nasty matrix negatives. No fat cat heavy hitters or early birds can sit at the top of the tree because it has three matrix pulses that flip…

The first pulse is a traditional 3×7 matrix and the 2nd and 3rd pulse are company forced.

You start in the traditional 3×7 (our own team), then in pulse 2, you are placed in the company forced matrix with all members. Whoever is at the bottom of the matrix, they flip the entire matrix upside down so that the person on the bottom gets paid because they are now on the top and then the 3rd pulse is whoever has made the least amount of money, they are placed at the top of the matrix and are paid and then it starts all over again and reverts back to the traditional matrix.

Sounds a bit complicated, but it can be real rewarding for those who cannot recruit and need spillover cashflow. Even those last in at the bottom can receive a payout, and that means anyone can make a great income here, even those who have never had success before.

All it takes to earn commissions is for the account holder to have a current, fully paid, Message Magic license. The monthly cost is $15.00 plus fees depending on which payment option you choose.

On the web page there is an audio section titled; Meet the owner. Please do take the time to listen and get a full understanding of this powerful tool and compensation plan.

So what is the Message Magic product?

Message Magic in essence, is a tool that will help anyone build their Skype contact list. I must confess to being quite dumb on techie stuff, but even I was able to set it up and begin to gather new contacts in under an hour. It took me just on two hours to make a sale to a person I had never been in contact with before. This is one very powerful tool.

Business is about building a contact list and also about building relationships with like-minded people. Message Magic allows us to do this with ease. The written and video tutorials are excellent, well laid out and very easy to follow. I’ve put some YouTube videos below to show you how it works.

As a side-note, you need to be aware that it is far more effective to offer a tool everyone can use rather than offering something competitive (therefore threatening) to their primary business and focus. The Message Magic software provides you a competitive advantage and can take your income to the next level.

I looks as if the company have streamlined their focus to the ACT Original and BodyTrim. I think that was good move as the drinks were getting diluted (no pun intended!) with so many options.

The new comp plan looks much better and the faster payouts will be well received by dealers. The most exciting element is of course the launch of a Global Bonus Pool.

If you have ever been in a program that has a Global Bonus Pool then you will know they can pay out some truly staggering amounts of cash to the achievers. Basically, the Global Bonus Pool is an elite bonus pool which is funded each time a 5th cycle is paid during the weekly commission calculations.

Veterans of the old plan previously saw their 5th cycle earn points that could be redeemed against luxury products in a special rewards catalogue, but that’s now gone and this is so much better.

Rather than me trying to explain things why not head over to see the new Camtasia presentation by clicking on the Global Pool graphic (opens new window). Note: If it doesn’t load straight away refresh your browser.

In his course, Building on a budget, Mike gives you the top 5 ways to generate tons of free traffic for less than $500.

Now, most people start a home business because they need more money and don’t have a big budget to spend on advertising. If that is the case for you, then it is likely that you will need to put in some extra sweat equity using your creativity to get started. Now, if you have a well planned strategy you can still make big money without having a big budget.

Building on a budget is a little different from the usual training books in that it’s not just a course where Mike shows you the five ways to generate free traffic for your home business, but actually takes you through the entire process with examples.

Mike wastes no time and gets to the point right from page one where he shares that the hottest leads are those already searching for your business. What they are actually looking for is more information to justify their “buying” decision.

Now most people don’t actually care about your opportunity, all they care about is the result they want that opportunity to bring them. They are looking to buy into someone who has already achieved results. So, here’s the three main things they’re likely to be searching Google for:

1. The best team or leader to work with
2. A team with a marketing system that gets results
3. A team with great training and support

The best way to attract these opportunity buyers is to forget about using the company replicated web pages with pretty pictures and the neat flash movies.

Advertise yourself, your team, and your marketing system. You position yourself, your upline, or your team as #1, because everyone wants to work with the best, and THAT is what you advertise.

Mike then walks your through what your lead capture pages should look like, using examples, headines and ad copy.Mike also explains in the book how to write the best ads for your business and utilize the best methods to generate free traffic.

It is priceless information that can quickly help your business to become successful.
