What if you didn't have e-mail?

A jobless man applied for the post of "office boy" at Microsoft.

The HR manager interviewed him, then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
"You are employed", he said. "Give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start"

The man replied" But I don't have a computer, neither an e-mail."
"I'm sorry," said the HR maanger. "If you don't have an e-mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist, cannot have the job."


The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 lb tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60.

The man realised that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return later. Thus, his money doubled and tripled everday.

Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later, then man was one of the biggest food retailers in the US.


He started to plan his family's future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him for his e-mail address.


The man replied, "I don't have an email". The broker answered curiously, "You don't have an e-mail, and yet you have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?!!"


The man thought for a while, and replied, "Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft!"


Moral of the story

Moral 1 - Internet/e-mail is not the solution to your life.

Moral 2 - If you don't have an internet-email, and work hard, you can be a millionaire.

Moral 3 - If you received this message by e-mail, you are probably already an office boy/girl, and not any closer to being a Billionaire....!!

Outsourcing for Small Companies

More and more small one-man businesses are learning to outsource their valuable time to fulfillment houses in order to get their orders processed.

This makes sense if you are doing everything yourself..... you cannot concentrate on generating an income if you are a jack-of-all-trades.

This is also especially important for foreign companies selling their goods in the USA. Check out Baobab Inc for your warehouse services and get your free copy of "How to Sell in the USA".

Nobody knows how to sell your products better than yourself. Therefore, that is what you should be concentrating on, and leave the drudge work to experienced fulfillment houses that will pack your orders and send them out.

You could also outsource other aspects of your business, like a bookkeeper and a website controller. What you pay for these services you will more than make up for in extra sales and income.

Life' Lessons - How to stop an avocado from going brown

Here is a great tip to stop an avocado from going brown.

Immerse the whole uncut avocado in boiling water - just like you would for skinning a tomato.
Let is stand for a couple of minutes. Throw off the water, allow the avo to cool and then cut open.

You can prepare your avo dish and keep it in the fridge until necessary.
You should try and use it the same day however, as this will not stop it from going squishy over time.

The Invisible Woman

Our dear friend Kim Israel sent this very moving story of a woman's discovery of her destiny. I hope you emphathize with it, as women often seem to feel that they are not recognized for their
daily lives.

Perspective: The Invisible Woman
By Nicole Johnson

It started to happen gradually. One day I was walking my son Jake to school. I was holding his hand and we were about to cross the street when the crossing guard said to him, "Who is that with you, young fella?" "Nobody," he shrugged. Nobody? The crossing guard and I laughed. My son is only 5, but as we crossed the street I thought, "Oh my goodness, nobody?"

I would walk into a room and no one would notice. I would say something to my family - like "Turn the TV down, please" - and nothing would happen.
Nobody would get up, or even make a move for the remote. I would stand there for a minute, and then I would say again, a little louder, "Would someone turn the TV down?" Nothing.

Just the other night my husband and I were out at a party. We'd been there for about three hours and I was ready to leave. I noticed he was talking to a friend from work. So I walked over, and when there was a break in the conversation, I whispered, "I'm ready to go when you are." He just kept right on talking. That's when I started to put all the pieces together. I don't think he can see me. I don't think anyone can see me. I'm invisible.

It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, "Can't you see I'm on the phone?" Obviously not. No one can see if I'm on the phone, or cooking, or sweeping the floor, or even standing on my head in the corner, because no one can see me at all. I'm invisible.

Some days I am only a pair of hands, nothing more: Can you fix this? Can you tie this? Can you open this? Some days I'm not a pair of hands; I'm not even a human being. I'm a clock to ask, "What time is it?" I'm a satellite guide to answer, "What number is the Disney Channel?" I'm a car to order, "Right around 5:30, please."

I was certain that these were the hands that once held books and the eyes that studied history and the mind that graduated summa cum laude - but now they had disappeared into the peanut butter, never to be seen again. She's going she's going she's gone!

One night, a group of us were having dinner, celebrating the return of a friend from England. Janice had just gotten back from a fabulous trip, and she was going on and on about the hotel she stayed in. I was sitting there, looking around at t he others all put together so well. It was hard not to compare and feel sorry for myself as I looked down at my out-of-style dress; it was the only thing I could find that was clean. My unwashed hair was pulled up in a banana clip and I was afraid I could actually smell peanut butter in it. I was feeling pretty pathetic, when Janice turned to me with a beautifully wrapped package, and said, "I brought you this." It was a book on the great cathedrals of Europe. I wasn't exactly sure why she'd given it to me until I read her inscription: "To Charlotte, with admiration for the greatness of what you are building when no one sees."

In the days ahead I would read - no, devour - the book. And I would discover what would become for me, four life-changing truths, after which I could pattern my work:
* No one can say who built the great cathedrals - we have no record of their names.
* These builders gave their whole lives for a work they would never see finished.
* They made great sacrifices and expected no credit.
* The passion of their building was fueled by their faith that the eyes of God saw everything.

A legendary story in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. He was puzzled and asked the man, "Why are you spending so much time carving that bird into a beam that will be covered by the roof? No one will ever see it." And the workman replied, "Because God sees."

I closed the book, feeling the missing piece fall into place. It was almost as if I heard God whispering to me, "I see you, Charlotte. I see the sacrifices you make every day, even when no one around you does. No act of kindness you've done, no sequin you've sewn on, no cupcake you've baked, is too small for me to notice and smile over. You are building a great cathedral, but you can't see right now what it will become."

At times, my invisibility feels like an affliction. But it is not a disease that is erasing my life. It is the cure for the disease of my own self-centeredness. It is the antidote to my strong stubborn pride.

I keep the right perspective when I see myself as a great builder. As one of the people who show up at a job that they will never see finished, to work on something that their name will never be on. The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree.

When I really think about it, I don't want my son to tell the friend he's bringing home from college for Thanksgiving, "My mom gets up at 4 in the morning and bakes homemade pies, and then she hand bastes a turkey for three hours and presses all the linens f or the table." That would mean I'd built a shrine or a monument to myself. I just want him to want to come home. And then, if there is anything more to say to his friend, to add, "You're gonna love it there."

As mothers, we are building great cathedrals. We cannot be seen if we're doing it right. And one day, it is very possible that the world will marvel, not only at what we have built, but at the beauty that has been added to the world by the sacrifices of invisible women.

Dinner Options For Those With Busy Business Schedules

Finding time for dinner when you are on a very busy schedule, especially if working in the field, can be very difficult at best. Many time when on the road, since you may not see the same people for months at a time, you will want to spend as much quality time with them as possible. This can make for extremely long days on the job and dinner may end up being an after thought.

Instead of grabbing a snack from the vending machine on your way to your motel room late at night, consider a few other options to enable you to have dinner while keeping to your busy schedule. Consider picking up the tab for co-workers or ones that you are visiting on your current trip and learn a little more about the person and how they conduct their business while you have dinner.

In any case, you are going to have to eat so the time should be scheduled on your daily planner. If you begin to run over on a visit into the field, try to remember that the people you are visiting have family in the local area and they may want to be home for dinner with them.

Choosing a nice, yet not overly expensive restaurant where you may find enough privacy to discuss business. It may even be possible to have dinner in a restaurant in the motel in which you are staying. Inviting others with whom you need to discuss business-related matters and turning it into a dinner meeting, which depending on the topic of discussion, may be tax deductible.

If you are not traveling in the field and taking calls from your spouse about getting together for dinner, you should make the time in your work-life balance schedule to make it happen. While staying on top of your business needs is important you can’t let it consume you and ruin the relationship you have with your family.

If you know ahead of time you are going to have to work late, contact the family and have them meet you somewhere for dinner. It will not always have to be at a fancy restaurant, sometimes a fast-food meal will satisfy any children you may have, but taking the time out of your schedule to have dinner with the family will do wonders for your relationship.

In some instances it may be better to have the family join you for dinner at work. You can call and order in an evening meal or have, read that beg, your spouse to stop on their way to your office and pick something up to share with you when they get there. While eating a decent meal for dinner is important, it is always important to spend time with your family.

The Power of Target Marketing

Two Beggars in Rome - One Catholic - One Jewish - are sitting side by side
on a street in Rome. One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David.

Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the
hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross.

In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite."

The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing?

Three Things NEVER To Do In Business

There are some things you should never do in business if you want to succeed. If you are already a successful business you are well aware of this. If you are a new business entrepreneur than these three tips may be very helpful to you.

The first thing you NEVER want to do is to skimp on advertising. Without proper advertising your business will chance taking a big loss in services or product sales. An example of this is a small business that puts out children’s audio CD’s is introducing a new product. The business is new and practically unknown. They do have a website, and a small advertisement in the local newspaper. Only a small area is going to be aware of this company and it’s CD. A better form of advertisement would have been advertising in several, larger newspapers. Having a billboard advertisement that can be seen in a heavily trafficked area. These may cost more, but you will reach a larger customer base. Without reaching customers, you fail.

Secondly, NEVER let your guard down with your business competition. If your business has a competitive market you want to definitely consider this. An example of this is a video store. You would want to be aware of what the other store offers. Is there a large selection? What are their prices per video per day? Do they offer any specials or discounts? You would want to keep up on both the smaller video stores as well as the larger video store chains in your area. You want to either match what is offered or offer a slightly lower fee. Customers love to save money, even a few dollars and cents.

Lastly, NEVER jump into a business without doing thorough research. You want to be sure you know all of the details about the business you are involved in. You want to know financial details as well as information about your competition. When you take the time to research a specific business you insure success for yourself. You wouldn’t want any surprises popping up when it comes to your business. You want to be able to set yourself up so that your business operates as smoothly as possible.

If you make an effort to follow the above guidelines on what NEVER to do in business then you are on the right track. You create a solid base for business success. Be sure not to jump into any business decisions without research and well thought out planning. Care for your business like you would your children. Give it what it needs to grow and you will be pleased with the end result. Be sure you follow the do’s and NEVER the don’ts and see your business soar.

South African Safari - great honeymoon destination

Our good friends Richard and Karen have just returned from a South African Safari, where they toured through the beautiful Cape, then up the coast to Plettenberg Bay, and then to the famous Game Reserves in the north eastern region of the country. These pictures were taken in Knysna at an elephant sanctuary.

Elephants have always been a fascination of mine. I think it is the very human-like society that they have, and the close family bonding that keeps a herd together. The mother elephant nurtures the young for years until it is a teenager.

Elephants in the wild are not to be approached like these are, and can be extremely dangerous if provoked.

It's a tough life when you are just born, and have to walk miles and miles on little feet, keeping up with the herd.

I'm sure there are many lessons to be learned from elephants. Too many for this posting!! I just know that they are my best loved animals. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.

Advertisement: Is It Effective?

A lot of people contribute a lot to the profitability of most businesses but the real question is, “How would you be able to gauge the efficacy of your advertisements?” Is it really just about the rise in the number of sales and inquiry from after the timeframe with wherein you have released the advertisements? Of perhaps the brand assessment is also a contributing factor?

In reality it is not only with those elements that you measure the quality of your advertisement, but rather it hinges on a lot of factors which includes the kind of media which you have employed, the budget or your assessment, the objective of your advertisement, the phase of accuracy and consistency that is necessitated, who is your target market and the budget you have allotted for the entire advertising period.

These elements would have to be sufficed first before you'd be able to precisely proclaim that your particular advertisement is effective. That is the reason why a lot of people assert that it is intricate to gauge an advertisement's efficacy. Aside from the need to consider many things, there are also other influential elements for that matter such as the kind of previous advertisement that had been released and its quantity.

It is also necessary for you to know the responsiveness of your consumers to the brand or the product you had advertised. Also, there are certain instances when you need to gauge the accessibility of cost effective assessment computation, the area where you have to place the advertisement, the choices of matters regarding the product like the price and sometimes even the capacity of your direct market to remember.

Several advertising experts have proposed several models which one could use to be able to gauge the efficacy of an advertisement. For example, some advertising experts states that the real measure of the efficacy of advertising is possible through the utility of cube diagram wherein you measure the headings which include the sales, profits, attention, persuasion and communication.

On the other hand, there are some people who only choose to settle for surveys which aim to test the brand or product recognition of the customers just after an advertising campaign. Actually, this particular method could be used with two options; the other one is to evaluate the product the other one of for a more extensive advertisement.

Overall though, advertisements can be very beneficial to the promotional efforts of any business because it enables the clients to become aware that such business does exists and that it can provide several particular products that they need. Advertisement has been proven to effectively set off the purchasing behavior of the clients and it is safe to assume that it will continue to do so for many more years to come.

Budgeting Your Money When You Own A Business

Budgeting Your Money When You Own A Business

One of the most difficult things to do when you start a new business is putting together a budget. Without any financial history on which to base income and expenses, it may seem like guesswork, but as part of any business plan a tentative budget can be established with some thought and anticipation for the future.

In most businesses there are two main categories, income and expense. Under your expense category there can be several sub-categories often falling into two main areas of controllable expenses and uncontrollable. While many business owner claim they can control every expense involved in their business, they are simply kidding themselves as some things such as utility cost, the amount of rent and other so-called fixed costs can, and do change, with the owner having no control.

Other expenses such as payroll, insurance and advertising can be subject to a budget, but they are considered controllable expenses. If the business begins to fall off, you can control some of these expenses by laying off employees and cutting back on advertising. However, living by a budget will help maintain profitability in many respects but can also turn against you in the long run.

Depending on the viability of your business it often is a better investment to bite the financial bullet on employee wages and still provide good customer service to the remaining customers until business picks back up. By trying to everything yourself not only will you burn out quickly, but is no one is taking care of the customers, it will not take long until there are no more customers to care for.

There are two ways to budget your business money and that is through set dollar amounts and percentage of income. Many businesses will budget their controllable expenses by the dollar and non-controllable by percentage of income. Obviously a good part of the owner’s time is going to be based on bringing money into the business and how much they have to spend on controllable expenses will be in direct relation to income.

For example, a company earning $20,000 a month in income has budgeted six percent for payroll, providing $1,200 for payroll. If the income level rises to $50,000 the budgeted payroll percent does not change but the dollars available for payroll climbs to $3,000. With an obvious increase in business to create the additional income, the owner will probably need the extra help to take care of business.

There are many other expenses that fall into the payroll account such as worker’s compensation charges, Social Security tax paid by the employer and paid vacation time or other perks determined by the employer. While a budget may be difficult to establish for a new business, it is a necessary evil for all business owners.

Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

The Product Launch of the official distributorship for Indiana for the unique range of ANNIQUE natural beauty products took place on 5 August 2007 at the Sheraton Hotel in Indianapolis, IN.

The launch was a combined tea and beauty product display, with Rooibos (translation = red bush) tea being the main "guest" and focal point of the day. Estelle October and Lyndsay Pienaar from Annique corporate office in South Africa were in attendance, giving the event added value of over 40 years of combined experience and knowledge of the product.

The product range has the unique ingredient of ROOIBOS tea, which is a tea that is produced from the redbush that is found only in the hills on the southern tip of Africa in the Cape Province of South Africa.

Rooibos tea is high in antioxidants and has many properties that aid relief in the Baby Range for eczema, babies colic, diaper rash. The moisturizers and lotions have the same properties that aid in the soothing and calming of the skin, creating a healthy glow.

The tea is caffeine-free, refreshing and healthy. Only the very youngest top leaves are used in the production of the tea and in the extract used for the skin care products.

New Book published - "Notes from the Gurus"

I have done it again. I am so awfully proud of myself, because I never thought of myself as a "writer". 'Notes from the Gurus" is a book that I have written, giving information from publicly broadcasted webinars of the most prominent internet marketers currently in the marketplace.

Writers are people who smoke pipes (really didn't ever do that but did smoke endless cigarettes in my youth), sit in front of portable typewriters and drink copious amounts of coffee. Certainly not your average 60 year old grandmother, even though my liver may be eroded by too much coffee.

So, after spending two weeks avidly listening to today's illustrious Internet Marketers, all vying to be named Internet Marketer of the Year 2007, I have gleaned insight into the secret ways they all make money. Do we wish it was easy? Actually, it is and isn't. Once you know the SYSTEM, then you can make it work for you. Once you decide what route you want to take, you can then concentrate on doing one thing very well, and learning to do the others so that it fits into your schedules.

All new and aspiring internet marketers, affiliate marketers, copywriters, direct sales sites, will find the information invaluable. Our thanks to those people who gave us their methods.

The most amazing animal video direct from South Africa

Wild Life in Africa is still close to our hearts, and the best vacations that we had were the times that we went into the bush to see the animals up close and personal.
It is hard to believe that in just one month, and at the time of posting, this video has been viewed over 3 million times. Amazing!

How come grandchildren get to be so clever?

The Internet today is comparable to the Industrial Revolution. The speed at which one can access information and goods and services is like the steam engine that revolutionized life for our forefathers.

Life before saw the dissemination of information by way of newspapers, word of mouth and country stores. Small towns relied on the local general stores and waited for travelling salesmen to bring luxuries from the outside world. The pace of life was slow and measured.

Then came the Sears catalog - shoppers paradise right in your own home! This brought it's own little revolution of "buy on line".

Today, the Internet has brought every little town in the remotest parts of the world into the mainstream of a rushing torrent of information and products that can be accessed by the click of a button. Anyone with a telephone and a computer can be privy to the wonders of the world.

The information highway revolution has brought the village to the city, and given the city slicker a taste of countries and places they would never have seen. A trip to the Rain Forests can be taken in a virtual tour, right from your chair. Travel by plane or boat is no longer necessary. You can travel first class in a flash of time in your lounge chair from Ancient Egypt to Science Fiction Galaxies of the future.

All this has spawned a new wave of business practices, new Snakeskin Salesmen, and a new international language. Bits and Bytes are no longer little pieces and bites of food. Webinars are today's seminars. Java is no longer just Coffee. Trawling is no longer fishing for food to eat. A mouse is not something to be trapped and banished from the house. Rather the mouse is today's essential tool!!

My seven year old granddaughter came to the office with me on "take your kid to work day". The fifteen minute drive from her house to the office was an exhausting journey of taxing questions, among them being "where do you go when you die?", and "where does the sun go at night?". When we got to the office, I sat her down at the computer and told her to Google her questions. The fact that she knew how to Google didn't surprise me!

So, off this second grader went, fingers flying over the keyboard, typing in her questions and selecting the results with her finger clicking on the mouse like a fiery extension of her hand. By this time an hour had passed, and I dropped into my chair, mentally exhausted by this barrage of questions.

Her second grader cousin went to his father and said "Dad, I need a credit card for my birthday". "Why?" answered his dad. "Because I Googled Spiderman and want to buy it, but I don't have a credit card!" he exclaimed.

What's my point?

Every question had an immediate answer.

Every child can access a world of information and can absorb and learn at their own pace and intellect. Inquisitiveness can be instantly gratified by a search engine. Somewhere, someone has researched and written an article. Every person can publish their innermost thoghts for anyone else to read. It's like having your own psychoanalyst in your home. Post a blog, and people will answer your questions, fears, hopes and aspirations.

The world has shrunk to encompass your one room, your own chair. You are privy to the wonders of the world.

How lucky we are!

Tribute to Liviu Lebrescu

I was moved and insired by a talk by Rebbitzen Esther Jungreis and have just read her book "Life is a Test". She is a Holocaust Survivor and runs the Hineni Institute of Learning in New York. http://www.hineni.org/rebbetzin.asp

While I was pondering the meaning of life, and one's journey through the good and bad, I was sent the following poem, which I am proud to publish here. I do believe there is a purpose for each one of us in this life. However crazy life seems.

Philip C. Selz wrote this poem about Mr. Liviu Librescu, who survived the holocaust and saved the lives of students at Virginia Tech on Monday and died from gunshot wounds. Philip read it at his synagogue and the Rabbi suggested that he distribute it to as many places as he could. I hope it touches you like it touched me.

My Stand

A Tribute to Liviu Librescu

By Philip C. Selz

In the darkest times we’ve seen, I was sent into the camps

As I smelled the stench of burning flesh, I knew my kin were gone

Survival was my only thought, I knew I must come through

But I didn’t know the reason that my living must go on

And when the war had ended, liberation finally came

And I grew to be a man and shortly after took a wife

And we raised our kids in Israel and we did the best we could

And we lived for those who died and worked to make a useful life

Then a teaching job came to me in America one day

And I thought that building new young minds was destiny for me

So I traveled to Virginia and I made a brand new start

And I taught engineering in this homeland of the free

Now I hear the hallways screaming as shots are fired there

And I hear the terror in the screams and understand their plight

So I bar the door from danger and I tell my students “Run!”

And as the bullets breach the door I know that I must fight

And in these final moments as my life is seeping out

I think back over 60 years and finally understand

My own salvation now makes sense as children flee and live

I was saved that day to save this day, I’ve finally made my stand.

All work and no play......

In the "Old Country" Easter was a favorite time of the year. It's because you got Good Friday and Easter Monday off. Most things were closed and you would have had to stock up goodies for the whole weekend.

It was also a time of cool mornings and bright sunny days with cool nights, harboring the cold days of autumn to come.

Now that we are trans-located in the USA, Easter has slid by with nary a chocolate egg to satisfy the memory of those lazy days. Now it is work, work, work.

But I do think I shall slip off to the store and pick up some choc eggs. Yummo !!

Upgrading to Executive Affiliate through Plug-in-Profits

I have to tell you a story. When I joined SFI Marketing and wanted to upgrade to an Executive Affiliate, I had to choose something to buy to get my 10 SV points.

Well, I figured I might as well buy some Health product, and seeing I didn’t need anything else, my husband could just as easily take it. You see, I am the type of person who has Aleve and Advil in my medicine cabinet and nothing else. That’s because I lose interest once I get past the A’s in the supermarket aisle. I never take more than three days of an antibiotic, because once I feel better I forget to take then and finish up throwing the balance away after three months

So I hunted around the Veriuni site, and chose the Peach flavored Advanced Liquid Nutrition drink.

Got my points - upgraded to EA - and started to collect my downline.

I was very happy.

In due course, the box from Veriuni arrived, and instead of taking it home, I put it on top of the filing cabinet, trying to figure out how to tell my husband that I had paid out $29 for a bottle of something instead of paying the parking fine that I got for $25.

Two weeks later, I figured I might as well take it home and get him started on “the dose”. I slit open the box and emptied the peanuts into the trash can. However, they were the static type, so besides sticking to my hands, chest and the trashcan, my hair immediately flew all around my head, making me look like a mad professor. Once I had cleaned everything up and wet my hair to tame it, with the bottle clutched in my hand I returned to my office.

I shook the bottle and decided that it wouldn’t hurt to try it, so I cracked open the tamper proof lid and took a swig straight from the bottle. Well, it did say take two teaspoons, but – hey- my mouth knows what two teaspoons feels like. I had screwed up my eyes waiting for the yucky taste, and was pleasantly surprised when the liquid hit my taste buds. It wasn’t half bad!

So, here’s the point of this story. I needed the SV points, and found a really cool product. That is my recommendation for you. Buy something that you don’t think you need, upgrade to Executive Affiliate, and your health will improve!
