Calling all moms.....

I am so pleased that Shaklee is coming out with a line specifically for babies and kids -

If you are a mom of either babies or young kids (up to preteen) - you know how important it is to put good products on their tender skin or to give them the nutrients they need on a daily basis to make them healthy and strong! So many kids these days have learning difficulties, ADHD, or even respiratory problems such as asthma because of the products in our homes and the poor nutrition they sometimes receive because of our busy lifestyles or the sake of convenience.

If you are a new mom and want to treat your precious little baby with a little tender loving care -

Specifically made for baby's tender skin and little bodies, their brand new line (available May 1) includes Gentle Wash, Massage Oil, Soothing Lotion, Diaper Cream, and Multivitamin Powder - one of the most comprehensive infant-toddler supplements available, it contains prebiotics to help promote a healthy immune system and bundles of vitamin D to support strong bones and teeth.

Babies are the most precious gifts in the world. Keep yours happy and healthy with Shakleebaby. Safe, pure, and natural, our pediatrician tested baby care products are formulated to keep your little one's bottoms soft, itty-bitty toes clean, and growing body healthy.

Or maybe you are a mom of some great kids that you want to give only the best to -

Well - have no fear - ShakleeKids is here!! :)

Also available May 1, Incredivites is the first kids chewable multivitamin in the U.S. with lactoferrin, a protein that helps busy bodies' immune systems stay supercharged. Packed with 23 essential nutrients, it's one of the most comprehensive supplements available.

And their Mighty Smart is scientifically formulated with a power-packed blast of ultra-pure DHA. Essential for early brain development, this omega-3 fatty acid has been shown to support mighty memory, mad concentration, and fierce mind skills.

I am so excited! :)

Well, I went on my second radio show today with Ladee16 - http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Ladee16/2009/04/11/Its-Easier-Than-You-Think-To-Go-Green - and I think it was a big success! :)

I invited everyone to come and listen...and if anything it was some good publicity. We had some listeners and participants...my upline leader Ronnie came on and helped me by adding to the conversation...and the hour didn't seem long at all. In fact I could have talked more! :)

So I figure that it is not how many people hear you during the show, but how many people can hear it afterwards on the BTR player....how cool is that? Great publicity, and better than a website. People can hear my voice and listen to how passionate I am about helping people get the best products available to the public today.

And the best part is? Ladee16 (Diana) joined Shaklee afterwards as a member - because as she said - "I know a good thing when I see it!" So as I learn to spread the word more and more and build up my reputation online...I continue to get more exposure and interest...get invited to be a guest on a radio program...and get the host to join with me in my mission to get everyone healthy!!

So if you didn't have the opportunity to hear the program yet - go listen and tell me what your thoughts are on it. And respond here - I'd love to hear it.

Have a great day - and remember - if people see you are passionate about something, they will want to follow you as a leader, and that is what you will be developing yourself into, day by day.

And the ride is even more exciting than the destination! Keep climbing! :)

Spring is in the air.....

At least where I am sitting here looking out of my window in Raleigh, NC - the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and life is good :)

I am happy that it is not raining, that is it warming up, and that I am able to write my thoughts here to anyone reading - there is a rainbow after the rain!! So why don't we always have sunshine...why do we have to go through tough times to get to the good times? Well there are a few ways I could answer that question, but one thing I firmly believe is so that we appreciate the good times - when we have them.

So is it just random that we'll have good and bad times in our lives? I believe some of it is just "life" and things we can't control...but the bigger part of it - the part we MUST focus on - is the part we CAN control, the part that we engineer day by day. The WAY we live our lives.

Are you in business for yourself? Are you trying to live beyond the daily 9-5 grind? Then treat it as a business, and not as a hobby, for it to pay you dividends into the future. I am always actively pursuing my business, saying to myself - what can I do today to promote my business? What can I do to learn more about it, about promoting, about connecting with other people so they have the information they need...what can I accomplish today that will make my TOMORROW better?

I don't think of myself as a "salesperson". In fact, I don't "sell" anything. All I do is show people how THEY can have a better life through options that are available to them, that they didn't know about, or think about, before. And in that way, if I help someone, they benefit, and in the long run, so do I. I am building a foundation for my future - so that the "sun can come out" in my financial life, and I can have the greatest reason for it - I helped others to get where they are, so I can get where I want to be - isn't that the best feeling of all?
