Guru M.J.

I met one of my network marketing heroes this week, sales guru M.J. Durkin. Soon after I started doing this business, my mentor lent me "M.J. Live!" - a bundle of prospecting wisdom packed into two CDs. I've been a fan ever since.

When I slid the first disc into my car's CD player, I had been expecting (read: wanting) someone to give me scripts - say this, don't say that. But M.J. gave me much more: Power. The power to let go of people - because I had the power to find more. (My mother's "plenty of fish in the sea" theory applied to sales.) My favorite moment from the CDs? M.J. and the attendees at the live seminar shouting "Flush 'em!" in reference to a balky or uncooperative prospect.

You can also find M.J.'s wisdom in printed form - his book "Double Your Contacts" is a great, and quick, read. And apparently he's due out with another book soon - I can't wait!

You are what you eat

You know that old saying "you are what you eat"? Well you are also what you drink. And breathe. And that's not good news.

See this slideshow on MSN - it focuses on toxins that may be related to breast cancer. Pretty much everything from your car exhaust to your hair dye, to the oils in which those potatoes we all love so much were just French fried.

Pretty scary stuff.

I mean, you can avoid French fries (I've at least cut way back on the fast food kind) and hair dye, but it's kind hard to avoid breathing. So no matter what kind of an eco-friendly life you live, you're going to take in some toxins.

Fortunately, you can take them right out again. Nutritional cleansing is the key to removing impurities from our systems. And if you're interested in knowing more, let me know.
