Your life is in your hands so mold it however you want! 
Today, be open to noticing the things you have ignored about yourself for a while 
Peal off your doubt, your uncertainty and your weakness 
Be willing to notice the moments you glow, you sparkle and shine 
One Love 
One of the most powerful single factor in your success is your belief about yourself, about the company, about your industry. Whatever you intensely believe becomes your reality.
Lack of belief is shown when blaming others for your failure, your challenges. It is never your fault, it is your upline’s fault, your company’s fault, the compensation plan is too complicated, it is binary and that is why you don’t make money in Network Marketing. You will always find excuses !
To build and create the success you want for you and for your family, you need to change the belief in yourself, you need to find the willpower in you. Willpower is based on confidence, conviction, faith and on your ability to achieve you what you put your mind into. To develop willpower, you need to be persistent and work on your goals – reading books, listening to audio, watching some trainings. Also read some biographies of successful people or listen to their stories and you will understand that most top earners have been through a lot before they got successful. It will inspire to push you through the obstacles and difficulties you will experience.
Too many people think that they are not good enough, not slim enough, not educate enough and the list can go on..
Your mind can be your biggest asset or your worse enemy.
“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.” – Roy T. Bennet
Self-mastery, self-control, self-discipline are essential for anyone who wants to achieve their goals. The more you practice thinking and talking about what you desire the most and the more you will start seeing signs and people that will help you to achieve your dreams. Repeat to yourself the words, pictures and thoughts consistent with your dreams and goals. Think bigger, faster and out of the box.
Don’t create a lifestyle of mediocrity; if you want something bad , you will find a solution even if you have people around you that are negative, that don’t believe in you. Don’t get caught with what people might think.
You need to have a plan: maintain focus on your personal progress, keep a journal and write your goals, your intention, your affirmations, your gratitude. Each time you achieve a goal, even small, celebrate it to keep you motivated.
Do not compare yourself to others. You are unique, authentic and beautiful. Your followers want to do business with YOU because you are different and you share great content and bring value; they are attracted by your story and not someone else.
“Don’t compare yourself to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.” – Regina Brett
You need also to believe in your company, your product and industry. Never apologize to be part of Network Marketing. Explain to them that it is no pyramid scheme 🙂 Also very important, be the product of the product and share it to the world.
Try getting your own mantra with positive self belief words, like
With effort and time, you can change your beliefs and develop a mental strength to overcome the self-limiting beliefs that prevent you from reaching your full potential.

When people are living from passion they tend to be fulfilled, happy, healthy and love everyone around them. The passionate entrepreneurs are driven by more than just money but by living a fulfilled life.
Enthusiasm and passion go together, it is a divine energy that will help you pursuit your dreams and stay focus to follow your path. The difference between those who push through difficult times and those who do not is passion.
There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.
Nelson Mandela
Enthusiasm is the most obvious feature in a person looking for his mission, his path. He lives life fully, enjoys every moment, and lives in the present not in the past. Passion is your drive and love of what you do. You see the world differently because you have a clear vision of your goals, you don’t get distracted and use your energy entirely towards the manifestation of your dreams. When experiencing fear or doubts, you won’t be paralyzed, you will work to find a solution. Once you discover your real passion, you’ll organize your entire life around it and you’ll radiate a lot of self-confidence. This is the type of person you want to become to show your followers you are a leader and you are ready to bring them to the next level.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
Unfortunately sometimes your friends and family don’t see it at the time and it shouldn’t discourage you to follow your dreams. Try to be surrounded with people like you, with happy, enthusiast people and start step by step with consistency to see results.
Once you show enthusiasm and passion to your followers and share your knowledge and skills, you will see more and more people reaching out to you. You will become more creative and inspire those around you with your story. You’ll have the courage to continue your project no matter what, and nothing and nobody will stop you.
When you are in Network Marketing, you need to use your product or service, and only if you are passionate with what you are taking or using, you will be able to pass on the message. People can feel fake people so you want to be real and authentic and you want to share your opportunity to the world. It is at that time that you will realize that you are in the right team, doing the right opportunity or are taking the right product.
What is your true passion?
What makes you excited about what you are doing?
Get out of this life of misery, do what you like, do what feels good, have faith and start finally living your real life!

If you ever find that you feel stuck, overwhelmed or you don’t want to do it anymore, the cause is normally that you are not organized and you don’t know what to do with all the informations your company or service sent you.
You want to get organized in your mind first. That is why it is very important to plan your week and have a DMO (Daily Method of Operation). Being organized with your Multilevel Marketing opportunity will allow you to achieve in a few hours what someone achieves in a whole day’s work with overtime! This is why it is said that some people live three life times in one life.
1- Follow the 80/20 rule
The 80/20 rule is a important factor in all organization and success. What this rule states is that 20% of your work produces 80% of your results, and vice versa 80% of your work produces 20% of your results. Engage with people daily!
2- Brochure and Business Card
When you are out always keep your card or brochure with you, in your car. You don’t know who you might meet. And with the digital world, more and more companies have an app with all the resources that you can send easily to people you meet. Don’t be shy!!
3- Measure your time
By measuring your time in 30 minute intervals, you will find out what you have been doing during that time. This is a great way to keep on track as sometimes we might become distracted and without measuring we would think that we have been productive. Start your day with the task you don’t like doing and is important for your business.
4- Prepare everything on File
When you are promoting your business to your cold market, be ready to answer the questions, and have your link in a folder easy to find, or use your app (easier to follow up). You can write a short description with your own words about your opportunity, your product or service. Don’t use a script from the company. You can either use a spreadsheet or use a notebook
5- Use your time wisely with email
Creating rules for messages helps keep our attention where it needs to be focused. If we get emails from the same source and we want to keep this correspondence we create a folder, move the emails to that folder. You can create also an email for each of your business.
6- Work Smart
During day time, use it to call your prospects and respond to emails in the evening or early morning. When people put their names on a funnel and stated a time and day to call them, have a calendar and write it down, it looks very professional and personal to call your followers at the right day and right time.
7- Use App or software
To do my pictures, I have “Word Swag” on my phone and “Canva Pro” on the computer (highly recommended and not expensive). To get free copyright pictures, you can use Pixabay/freeimages. Whatever App or software you decide to use, just stick with it, practice and you’ll do your pics in no time.
8- Schedule and automate
You can schedule your post on Facebook for free, or you can use some social media management platform like Buffer to schedule your post on different social media. If you have an app from your business like I have, it is a great tool to remind you the follow-ups. You can also reuse some of your posts to gain time.
Lack of organization can slow you down and make you procrastinate more. You need action steps and accountability. Get rid of the clutter, get the tools you need, and get your mindset in place. With these few components, there is no stopping you! Just do it and make it happen!
Hope you got value, and I would love to hear from you.

Since diagnosed with Endometriosis ( a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and causing pelvic pain, especially associated with menstruation), I am doing some research to calm the pain and try to remove the lesions without getting a surgery and I found that eating foods which are good for resolving blood stasis will help me. It includes kelp, vinegar, lemons, limes, onions, Irish moss and bladder wrack (the last two are seaweeds). Being in Jamaica, Irish moss is quite inexpensive and easy to find, so I decided to include it in my diet. Irish Moss has many benefits also.
A little history:
The Irish Moss is a seaweed that was original found near Ireland hence the name. The Irish consumed Irish moss during the famine of the 19th century in Ireland.
Irish moss or Chondrus crispus is a type of red algae harvested from the Atlantic coastline of North America, Great Britain, Iceland, and, as the name suggests, Ireland. The seaweed also grows on rocks in Jamaica. Irish migrants to Jamaica brought the tradition of the Irish Moss to Jamaica.
<==Red Algae
My cooked Irish moss ==>
Irish moss is usually harvested in the summer and then dried for
herbal.
The principal constituent is a mucilaginous body, made of the polysaccharide carrageenan, which constitutes 55% of its weight. The organism also consists of nearly 10% protein and about 15% mineral matter, and is rich in iodine and sulfur. When softened in water it has a sea-like odor and because of the abundant cell wall polysaccharides it will form a jelly when boiled, containing from 20 to 100 times its weight of water.
Irish moss is so rich in a certain polysaccharide called carrageenan, it is widely used as a thickening agent, stabilizer and lubricant in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
Gelatin is a very common binder in a variety of foods, however, it isn’t vegetarian/vegan friendly as it comes from the collagen within animal bones and skin. As a substitute, Irish moss is used as a vegan gelatin agent.
Instead of the animal based gelatin, the carrageenan extract from the seaweed is used in vegetarian packaged and frozen foods, milk, ice cream, and yogurt.
It’s not only used for food, it is a common ingredient in organic/vegan/cruelty-free makeup, toothpastes, lotion, and shampoos.
How do I prepare the Irish Moss that can be added to my meals?
Popularized in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries, the Irish moss drink is a beverage made from boiling the alga for an hour while adding flavorings, sweetened condensed milk, rum and spices. It is believed to be an aphrodisiac.
I don’t prepare it as a beverage but I keep it full in the fridge once it is done:
I use at least 1 spoon for each meal. It can be blended in a smoothie, or in a soup, or I even put it in my food. I find that it has no taste.
Its Benefits
Irish Moss is being used to thicken smoothies and milks, and even in custardy desserts; but it has also multiple health benefits:

1- Remove yourself from gossip and negativity.
Seek relationship with like-minded people and positive, smart people. If a other person insists on involving you in the gossip, make it clear that you don’t feel comfortable with this situation. It’s up to you to draw the line and explain to the other person that you don’t like gossiping or basing your work relationships on rumors. Get your facts straight and if you need to avoid some people to evolve in your life and reach your goals, don’t hesitate because at the end of the day you are the master of your life, and you are the one paying your bills. Offer to resolve the problem!
2- Consciously choose to replace your negative emotions to positive thoughts.
Switch the “I can’t” to “I can” and “I won’t” to “I will”. When you start having negative emotions, stop yourself straight away, choose to live in a state of mindfulness. Do some meditations, write a personal journal where you can write your intentions, your affirmations, your gratitude. Don’t play the victim, you create your life so take your responsibility. Creativity can feel like a release. When you put your emotions through an art form, you get them out of your system and clear them out. Don’t take anything for granted anymore. Sometimes the good things in our lives are right in front of our faces and we still fail to see them.
3- Do some form of exercise.
15 mins of exercise is enough to release the endorphins, serotonin and other happy chemicals in your brain. It trains the brain to believe that your “behavior matters” which then carries positivity in all your activities during the day. Take a walk alone away from your usual atmosphere. Head somewhere uplifting like a park or museum. The time spent distancing yourself from those negative influences can bring you great peace of mind. You can also do some gardening, it is very relaxing and you’ll enjoy the things you are creating.
Life is a marathon, not a sprint.
4- Focus on what matters the most
Sometimes in the daily grind, we lose focus on all the ways things that are going right in our lives. We have to learn to say NO sometimes and also take time to meditate, read, sleep. Simply say so — you can compliment the idea, the project, the person, the organization … but say that it’s not the right fit, or it’s not what you’re looking for at this time. If you are constantly stressed and overwhelmed, you need to stop pushing yourself or you’ll crash and burn out. Once you know exactly the new skills you want to learn, practice a lot because you’ll get more confident and you will thrive to your path to greatness.
5- Find a mentor or a coach that will teach you and guide you
They went through all these feelings and they will help you to overcome fear and stress. Having someone who practically guides you and shares your worries with you — often placating your fears with their years of experience — keeps you reassured that you’ll be successful. The valuable connections, timely advice, occasional checks — together with the spiritual and moral guidance you will gain from having a mentor — will literarily leapfrog you to success. Mentorship is one guaranteed way to gain experience from others
Elimination of negative thoughts and becoming positive takes time so be patient and practice, practice. Don’t forget you are the sum of the five people with whom you spend the most time. Look around and choose wisely your surroundings. Your business and your success will depend on the people you have around you. Plan the day before so you know your tasks and you are not stressed out.
Hope you got value, and I would love to hear from you.

I got introduced to Kombucha not long ago. I got sick and had to take 2 rounds of antibiotics and if you know me well I don’t like taking medicines so I checked what I could do to cleanse my liver. Antibiotics help fighting infection but also harm good bacteria in your body.
Known as the “Immortal Health Elixir” by the Chinese and originating in the Far East around 2,000 years ago, Kombucha is a beverage with huge health benefits extending to your heart, your brain and especially your gut.
Kombucha is a traditional fermented drink made of black tea and sugar and contains a variety of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Kombucha also contains antioxidants, can kill harmful bacteria and may help fight several diseases
Kombucha is a sweetened tea that is fermented with a SCOBY (a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast) to become a nutrient-rich beverage. SCOBY is a collection of microbes responsible for turning sweet tea into a probiotic beverage. Essentially, it is a living colony of beneficial organisms that turn sugar into healthful acids and probiotics.
I know it doesn’t look very appetizing
The fermentation process takes 7-12 days depending on temperature and the strength of the SCOBY. Once fermented, Kombucha becomes slightly effervescent, with a vinegary smell and tart taste
If properly taken care of, a SCOBY can last for many years as it is the parent culture that creates the tea. SCOBYs are often called “Mushrooms” and are the reason Kombucha is sometimes called “Mushroom Tea.”
Kombucha has a high concentration of beneficial enzymes and acids, including Gluconacetobacter, Lactobacillus, Zygosaccharomyces and Acetobacter that helps fighting against liver diseases:
To avoid any negative side effects, it’s recommended that you start by drinking very small amounts of kombucha and work your way to larger quantities.
Kombucha has gained popularity and is now available in many stores. You can either buy it or start making your own brewage like I do.
If you decide to make it yourself, you can find a SCOBY disk in health food stores or online for relatively inexpensive amounts or get it from someone you know.
DISCLAIMER:
Like with any raw/fermented product, those with any health condition or who are pregnant/nursing should check with a doctor before consuming.

1- People do business with people which means that if you not building rapport with your followers, you are not going to attract the right people to your business. When you decide to be part of a MLM or affiliate program, you need to recruit people to join your downline and your network. People need to trust you before they join your company. Don’t forget people join people and not companies. Building relationship is the foundation of MLM network marketing business.
2- Relationships are important to your group’s retention and retention keeps your business stable and ready for more growth. The average retention is 80% so only 2 persons out of 10 are going to stay in your business. You want to keep your downline happy, for that you need duplication. You want to show leadership training them well or pointing them to the right direction. Get to know the people you bring into your home based business. Keep in mind that people are worthy of personal attention and respect. Be of great value to them by sharing your time and knowledge. By helping others your business will flourish.
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care”
― Theodore Roosevelt
3- Helping others will benefit you because they will use duplication and grow your network. It is also going to benefit you to grow as a leader, you will gain more confidence, you are going to share your experience, your readings, your failure… All of that will change your mindset and you will be seen as an expert in your field.
In conclusion, don’t think building relationship is a waste of time, it is much cheaper to keep current followers than getting new followers all the time. Don’t forget your downline!

When you start your day, you need to take your time in the morning to center yourself and get motivated. What I do is taking 30 min in the morning after i wake up to visualize what I want to achieve, do some meditation and concentrate on my different task I have to do that day. You can then go to the gym, or go for a run and get a good breakfast. You need energy to be able to work and get your concentration all day.
Once you have your morning ritual done, you need to focus on Income Producing Activities. That should be your main focus, which are prospecting, setting appointments, inviting, following up, doing some presentation and closing.
You goal setting + Massive Action = Results
The mistake we all do when we start with a new business, or new product, we want to know everything about it. We want to know the science behind the product, the compensation plan scrutinized, ..
Well what you need is to start making money and not putting too much energy on non productive task.
1- Host a webinar or do a Facebook Live to bring value to your audience with new content. People want to connect with you, don’t stay behind your computer all day ! You have to remember to give at the start of the video and at the end, your call to action which could be your website with your product or your service, or a link for an ebook, ….
2- Follow up is very important by phone or email or now you can use voice messenger. Nowadays, prospects like to hear your voice and they will feel special.
Little stat: 90% of sales occurred because you followed up with someone.
Listen to the video above to get some examples on how to follow people
3- You can send automated email using aweber if you want like I do, and then from time to time send a broadcast with a new blog or video or something you want to share with your list. Make it as personal as you can.
I would be happy to hear your thoughts , leave me a comment !!
Kathy
