Barry Sears, M.D., author of the “Zone” book series,
describes in his book, “The Anti Inflammation Zone,”
how avoidable internal inflammation is at the root
of most major degenerative diseases.

Doctor Sears is not the only authority to write about
the hazards of internal inflammation.

Floyd H. Chilton, Ph.D., has a good book on this
subject, titled “Inflammation Nation.”

Nicholas Perricone, M.D., has written much on this
subject as well in his books. He was among the first
to research and write about internal inflammation.

A dictionary definition of inflammation is a “response
to injury or irritation, characterized by pain and
swelling and redness and heat.”

Inflammation in response to injury is natural and
good. Inflammation caused by irritation is not good.
The later is what these doctors are describing.

These doctors assert that bad food choices and
negative lifestyle factors are early major factors
in internal inflammation, which is the underlying
foundation of the conditions discussed below:

1. One-third of Americans have arthritis or related
problems.

2. Some 64 million Americans have cardiovascular
disease.

3. An estimated 50 million American have allergies.

4. There are 18 million diabetics in the USA. And
there are 1.3 million new diabetics annually.

5. An astonishing 65% of American adults are
overweight or obese, and 16% of children are
too tubby as well.

Are you included in these statistics? If not, are you
on the way to becoming a statistic? Don’t let this
happen to you!

What can we do to extinguish the fires of internal
inflammation and avoid its dreadful disease
consequences?

1. Since Americans consume 10 to 20 times more
Omega 6 oils than Omega 3’s due to imbalance in our
national diet, eat wild, ocean fish two or three times
per week. Salmon is ideal for this.

We need many more Omega 3 oils in our diets–an amount
at least equal to our Omega 6 oil consumption.

DO NOT eat “farm raised” fish, unless you enjoy
mercury and other toxins.

Take supplements heavy in Omega 3 oils, too.

2. Stop eating all trans fatty acid foods, such as
margarine and anything else hydrogenated or made
with “shortenening.” Trans fatty acids are not
recognized by your body and cause havoc.

3. Don’t eat food drenched in chemicals. If you read
a food label in store and you don’t know what the
terms mean, as you weren’t a food chemistry major in
high school or college, refuse to buy it.

Or, to quote exercise guru Jack LaLanne, “if man
made it, don’t eat it.” That includes cold cereals,
noodles, chips, candy, sodas and sugary beverages,
white breads, pastry and processed meat–to name
just a few.

Don’t buy foods in boxes or cans and those with more
than six ingredients.

4. To the extent possible, eat organic food. It’s more
nutrient dense and far more wholesome. While it
costs more to purchase, it’s more satisfying–and you
will wind up buying and eating less food, experiencing
no net increase in the cost of total food
purchases.

You can put out the fires of internal inflammation.

A lot of advertising and mailings promise to reveal the secrets of something. Most of this kind of mailings deal with search engine optimization. They promise to know how to achieve a high ranking at Google. They tell the readers that they have a special access to Google or that they have cracked the algorithm how Google ranks websites.

Secrets are always exciting!

People are attracted easily by secrets. There is something special with them. Cracking the secrets of the Google algorithm seems to be a mystery like finding the Holy Grail. It is the Holy Grail of the internet community indeed! No wonder that a lot of e-books are offered that promise to find the grail that leads to a ranking among the top ten at Google search engine!

Why do merchants sell the knowledge about a secret?

Have you ever asked yourself why these Gurus and authors sell the secret how to get ranked on the top for a few dozens of dollars? Why do these people not keep and exploit the secret for themselves? They could become incredibly rich be keeping silent, because there is no advantage, if everybody knows and uses the same secret.

Or is it similar with the systems that promise high winnings in lotteries or Roulette? Some people make also a lot of money by selling such systems. If their systems were waterproof, they would monopolize and exploit it and not sell books about it.

Otherwise: Firms usually protect their secrets about their produces with patents and licenses. They only sell the right to use their patents for a fortune, not for dozens of dollars.

Selling the secret as good business

Selling the secret methods to success and wealth is a business of it’s own. There is a lot of literature about how people can find their way to a lucky and wealthy life. Thousands and thousands of people try to get rich in the online business. They are eager to learn how it works and how they can expose their websites in the best way. And a lot of skills are needed, indeed, to move a website to the top. It’s obvious that all these tips and tricks – enwrapped in the mysteries of secrets – sell themselves.

If everybody does the same!

Have you ever thought what happens, if everybody does the same, if thousands use the same methods in order to get a top ranking in a certain category? Only a few of thousands will make it to the top, even if everybody uses the same tricks. It’s by random to get to the top, apart from the right methods, dedicated work and persistence.

List of Items to Do to Accomplish Your Goals

1. Become more involved in networks. Talk about yourself and the things you like to do away from your business. People, even those on Ryze, are a little afraid to do business with someone who they don’t know a lot about. It may take time, but I can assure you if you are your self, it will help your business more because they will see your name and know exactly what you sell and begin to trust you. Be active, even if it’s only for 30 minutes a day on Ryze, it will help you out.

It costs you nothing to be involved with Ryze. Go to http://www.ryze.com and sign up for a free account.

2. Purchase business cards to leave at stores, daycares, schools, and to put into your bills and correspondences. You can reach a lot of people by looking outside the box.

3. Get a 3-ring photo album one that is small enough to put in your purse. Inside it put your “goals” in picture form, a new house, a new car, your baby’s picture, your future garden, your future vacation. Look at it at least once a week. Whenever you wonder why you are doing this take it out. Also add inspirational sayings that cheer you up, read those when you need a lift!

4. Make some flyers to hand out to businesses and customers.

5. Start a free blog account at http://www.blogger.com. You may be asking what a blog is? A blog is an online journal or miniature website that you can post your thoughts to everyday. A lot of people use it as their websites or as their weekly newsletters and send their subscribers to their URL for updates.

Get a free feeder (a feeder is a link so that others can go to your blog when ever they want) so you can post this in your signatures. I believe I got mine from http://www.rssfeeder.com or you can look at the site where you do your blog and they will have places for you to go get an RSS feeder.

6. Give out suckers with business cards strung through the stick.

7. Purchase candy wrappers and add a catchy slogan and wrap them around a candy bar.

8. You can also use bookmarks.

9. Purchase some form of promotional items with your personal information on it.

Example: pencils with your website on them. Pass them out at fairs, schools, leave them everywhere I go (everyone loves pencils and freebies). You can buy these at bulk prices at http://www.orientaltrading.com.

I’ve seen ladies get small ziplock bags and add their business card and a piece of candy to the bag. The point is to get noticed. Trust me, when people get bags the first thing they look for is the goodies and skim over the papers. Start small, go to the dollar store and buy a big bag of candy and attach them to your business card and send to the filler groups.

10. Filler groups:

What are filler groups? These are a group of home-based business owners that swap anything from business cards, flyers, and other promotional items along with information on their home-based businesses.

They then send these out to their customers, hand them out at fairs, etc.

11. Network more with those that are in your niche. For example, baby forums and mom sites (not just work-from-home moms, but all types of sites for moms). Find other networking groups in your local area. Welcome Wagons, Chamber of Commerce, go to a local OB/GYN and see if you can add some flyers to their New Moms baskets. Bringing some homemade treats or doughnuts to give to the nurses, gets you a big foot in the door.

If you cannot find a group in your area that fits your needs, start one. Meet in a coffee shop, once a week or once a month. Discuss ways you all can promote your businesses, exchange your business cards for referrals, then hand them back to that rep when you have your next meeting.

12. Offer deals to customers, both new and old customers. I always keep information from all my customers and do follow ups to see how they liked the product and if they know of others who might have a need for my products. Everyone loves free samples and discounts.

EXAMPLE: Referring others save 20% off next order or receive a free gift etc.

13. Make up labels for your mail. Put your label on everything you send out. Many people see your label and read it and eventually you will get a customer. Don’t count on this as your only avenue, but you should have many avenues and ways of advertising your business.

14. Make up some flyers and hand those out. Post them where you know traffic would be good for your products. Example: bingo halls, daycares, play grounds, senior centers, etc.

15. Run a special for a week, a month, whatever it takes to bring new customers to your site. Just be sure not to offer too big of a discount so you don’t make any profit.

16. Purchase a car magnet to use while you are running errands. You can be “working” while you are doing errands.

17. Purchase or make a yard sign.

18. Always when out running errands or shopping leave your business cards with people you meet or where people will see them.

19. Advertise in a local newsletter or newspaper.

20. Advertise in http://www.thriftynickelads.com for about $6 or so. You can pick what state and city you want to advertise in.

21. Sit down and figure out a schedule for your business, how much time you will spend working everyday. Learn to take a few hours off, the emails will wait. Put business hours on your site so customers know what your hours are and than you won’t feel so stressed about not contacting them right away.

Say you want to have your hours between 9-5 pm. Put on your site that if you contact me after 5 pm, I will get back to you tomorrow. Say the same thing for weekends. You will check all emails, but will get back to them on Mondays, or set up a couple hours for Saturday, this is up to you. Just remember you need to take time to relax and enjoy things around you or you will get burned out.

Has anything ever happened in your life that you continue to blame or punish yourself for? If so this is the same as saying that you are having trouble forgiving yourself for it.

What is the purpose of going on punishing yourself for whatever you have been blaming yourself for? This is likely a question you have never asked. The reason I say this is that had you considered it you would have already stopped the self blame and the self punishment.

Let me explain.

Many believe “unconsciously” that the purpose of going on blaming and punishing one’s self for past transgressions is so that:

One will not forget the transgression, so that,

The next time they will not commit it again, so that,

They can make the right decisions, so that,

They can feel good i.e. happy, at peace, good about themselves, blame free, a sense of relief, and a sense of self worth.

In other words many believe “unconsciously” that going on punishing one’s self, or alternatively not forgiving one’s self, makes one feel happy, at peace, good about themselves, blame free, a sense of relief, and a sense of self worth.

Does that feel right to you?

Highly unlikely, correct?

Do you recognize however that that is what you have believed unconsciously?

If so, do you want to go on harboring that kind of toxicity inside you?

Do you recognize the toxic effects of going on punishing yourself i.e. not forgiving yourself? If not just go back to the self punishment and notice what it feels like to be there.

You’ll likely notice that it makes you feel horrible, like a horrible, worthless human being who deserves to be exterminated.

Now is that toxic or not?

Hopefully, you’ve already read Part One of these tips for organizing your school fundraiser. A smart plan can make your school fundraiser much easier. Here are some other considerations:

Using a consultant
Consider using a fundraising consultant to assist your organization with larger fundraisers, first-time events, or mission critical efforts. Among the benefits of using professional help are the following: increased market penetration, increased sales per client, higher average sales volume per participant, and smoother logistical flow.

Use a fundraising consultant to take the hassle out of organizing your event and put the “fun” back in fundraising again.

Protect your reputation
Offer only high quality products. Remember that no one feels good about overpaying for something or getting shoddy merchandise in return for a contribution. Take the high road and build loyalty within your customer base.

Profit percentage
Place less emphasis on the percentage profit offered by the supplier and focus more on the total net profit generated. Higher unit prices will mean higher total sales revenue and often, higher profits per customer.

That’s not to say that percentage isn’t important, but consider other factors as well. Look at whether sales incentives are included, hidden costs that may arise, sales brochures that cost extra, poor quality merchandise that can hurt future sales, and so on.

Incentives
Rewards will increase participation and that can positively effect the net proceeds from your efforts. The quality of the incentives is an important motivator. If appropriate, consider rewards from among the products you’re offering. Look to local merchants for supplemental prizes.

Insist on best value
People will be more inclined to buy if you’re offering quality goods at the right price. Higher-priced goods will actually generate more net from each sales transaction to your organization than the cheap stuff that offers a higher percentage profit to your group.

Price points
Many times, different organizations conduct similar fundraisers at coincidental times. Make sure that the prices asked are comparable to other fundraisers in your community. Check prices ranges via the Internet and with other nearby organizations. Look at other catalogs, retail merchant pricing for similar goods, and trust your gut instincts.

Beware of perfuming the pig
There’s an old saying about making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. It means that someone is trying to assign a higher value to an item than it is worth. Another phrase often used to reference the deceptive selling of overpriced goods is “perfuming the pig.”

If you overcharge your customers for common items, they’ll resent it, consciously or subconsciously. Compare results with records from past fundraisers to check what price points were offered before on similar items. Be certain to give fair market value for the items your group is offering. You want those customers back the next time, don’t you?

Setup calling trees
Once your fundraiser has begun, don’t forget to utilize your calling tree for immediate feedback. Ask if there are any problems, check on initial reaction from participants and their families, keep the enthusiasm level high, and don’t let your initial positive momentum slip away. Regular polling of team leaders and participants will keep you informed.

Doubling Up
Double check all order forms and check payments to be sure they’re correctly filled out. Double-team all money handling facets of the fundraising process. Have double dates (makeup days) planned in advance in case of inclement weather or other unforeseen delays on delivery day.

Use co-chairs for each mission critical function. Cross train on all tasks. Keep duplicate records of important details in a different location as part of your backup plan. In the world of technology, this is called disaster recovery or disaster prevention. Double count all deliveries coming in and going out.

Record Keeping
Accurate records are a lifesaver and a source of information for future fundraisers. Follow audit guidelines just as if you were a small business. As a non-profit organization, you have to be able to document the source of your funding as well as how those funds were spent.

Setting goals and deadlines
Do this well in advance, mapping out campaign timelines and strategies before the school or fiscal year starts if possible. Your goals should be realistic and based upon solid data from previous results. Take some time to think what extra offerings you could add that would double the net proceeds from each customer.

Always have a hard deadline for the sales period to end, nothing more than 17 days. Seventeen days is two weeks plus an extra weekend, the prime selling time.

Don’t forget to smell the roses
A well-planned and well-executed fundraiser will leave you time to bask in the glory of your success. Remember to have fun and good luck!

After you have formed your corporation, one of the first tasks is issuing stock to the shareholders of the company. There are six basic steps to issuing stock correctly.

Step 1 – Write down or type out each of the shareholders names, addresses, and percentage of the company they will own.

Step 2 – Determine how many shares the corporation has available to issue. The number of shares authorized to issue are indicated on the first page of your Articles of Incorporation. If you are unable to find them there, you can go to your corporation’s listing at your Secretary of State’s website and see how many shares are authorized. If you are still unable to find the number of shares, call the Secretary of State directly.

Step 3 – Calculate the number of shares you will issue to each individual shareholder based on the percentage ownership and number of shares. Don’t issue all shares available. If you have 25,000 shares available for issue, you may want to only issue 1,000 or 100 shares to start. This will give you more shares to issue at a later time if you have additional investors or stake holders come into the company.

Step 4 – Physically write out the stock certificates with the shareholders name, number of shares they own and the certificate number. Stock certificates can be purchased from office supply stores, directly online or you can purchase a corporate record book that will typically come with your first 10 or 20 certificates.

Step 5 – Record in your stock ledger each certificate that has been issued. In the stock ledger you will record the name of the shareholder, the number of shares issued, the stock certificate number, how much they paid for the shares, the type of shares they were (common, preferred, voting, non-voting, etc.), the date of the transaction, and who sold the shares to the new shareholder. If the company issued the shares it would be considered an initial offering of the company.

Step 6 – Send the stock certificates to each shareholder.

These steps provide a guide for issuing shares of a new corporation. Additional tasks that should be completed upon forming a new corporation are initial meeting of shareholders and directors, writing resolutions and opening a bank account.

Building a quality “targeted” opt-in email list is the most important thing you can do for your business.

Did you get that?

Building a quality “targeted” opt-in email list is the most important thing you can do for your business. This is where the game begins… to find leads or to find people to talk to.

The quality of your opt-in email list will determine the future success or failure of your online business.

If your business is faltering – if your car is sputtering for lack of gas – if you’re not seeing much activity going on in your business…. the reason is most likely because you are neglecting this very important part of building your business.

There are lots of ways to build your very own opt-in email lists and I cannot cover them all here, but I will introduce you to some very basic list building fundamentals that will get you started.

“Opt-In” Visitors From Your Web Site – sometimes called “Lead Capture”

This in one technique you absolutely must use if you have a website. The technique is a very simple: You would place a “form” or a simple “email” link on your website with a short message that tells visitors to subscribe to your mailing list. In return for doing so, offer them something for free! A free report, newsletter, or ebook will work great here.

The reason why doing this right now is very important is because you are missing out on a great opportunity to capture your web site visitor’s email addresses. Since you already are spending time and money to promote your site, why not get them to leave their email address with you before they leave and never return again. Most visitors will not buy from you on their first visit. Unless you provide this option on your web site you will lose most of these prospects forever. Most of your marketing efforts and dollars will be spent on classified ads, banner trades, search engines, etc. will go down the drain forever.

If you are familiar with creating web sites and forms or know someone who is, you can easily put a simple form anywhere in your web site. If you don’t know how to create them, most autoresponder services provide subscribers the ability to easily create their very own web site with custom lead capture forms connected to an autoresponder so people can get your free report sent to them automatically within minutes of requesting it.

Lead Capture is a PRIMARY strategy I use for building my prospecting list. In fact, just about everything I am doing online is to create a steady flow of “opt-in” subscribers using lead capture pages.

In addition to my lead capture pages, I also purchase inexpensive list building services to regularly get new subscribers to my automated email series.
