Happy Monday morning to all out there. I hope you had a good weekend and I wish you all a good week ahead.
Today I am going to talk about something that I feel is an overlooked area of a healthy life. That area is hobbies. Hobbies range from art to Zoology and everything in between. It can be a little something to a huge venture that can take years to complete. No matter what it is the point is to have something that takes you away from the everyday and gives you a time to focus on something you enjoy.
Hobbies can help you focus, relax, clear your head, lower blood pressure and countless other benefits. You can do something by yourself having a bit of me time or it could be something you do with a large group that enjoy the same past time.
The actual hobby isn't as important as what it does for you. As long as you get joy and an escape from what you do everyday to do nothing but take time to do something you do just because you want to. It also doesn't matter how much time it takes. It could be 30 minutes a day, once a week, you could finish each item in minutes or take years to finish one. It just has to be something you do for you.
I have a lot of interests but haven't pinpointed anything I want to spend time doing on a regular basis. Right now this blog is the closest thing I have to a hobby. So I would appreciate it if you left a comment on what your hobby is and leave a little info about it. What got you started? How often do you spend time doing it? Do you do it alone or with others? Help me figure something out I want to do to spend some down time. Thanks.

Feel Good About You
Hi everyone, I just wanted to drop a quick note on feeling good about yourself for yourself. When you start living your life for you that is when joy enters into your world.
You have to pursue the things that are important to you and that is when you will work hard enough to make things happen. I'm not saying that it doesn't or shouldn't feel good when others recognize your achievements. What I am saying is that should be an added benefit to what you are doing for yourself.
For example I just use a program that helped me lose 14 pounds in two weeks and I dropped my body fat percentage by 13% and I feel great. I didn't do it to impress anyone, to live by someone else's standard or anything like that. My drive came from me for me. My goal was to feel better and to feel better about myself. The added benefit is my wife and kids are happy that I am now healthier. And, I have to admit, it feels great to hear from people at work and in my life that are saying "wow you look great", "you lost a lot of weight", "what did you do and how do I do that".
So, even though I did it for me it feels good to be recognized for my efforts. All I am trying to say is to live for yourself and then you will be at your best so you can take care of those in your life that mean the most. If you are living for someone else you will not be able to be at your best and your loved ones will suffer.
From me to you "Go Large and Take Charge".

Ignite 15
It is time to introduce you to a program that is so amazing that everyone who has tried it so far has lost weight. That product is none other than Ignite 15. You may ask how this is different than all the other products and programs out there. Well, I am here to let you know.
First of all it is built around what your body is suppose to do for itself. That would be to burn fat and not store it and it does that by Igniting your own metabolism. Second it does not ask you to skip meals only to tweak the way you eat so that your body is running at a higher level all day long. Third it gives your body the much needed energy to make it through a day without a bunch of useless stimulants. Instead it uses natural herbs, minerals and vitamins. Fourth you can either buy it Retail, Wholesale or create an income by letting everyone you know how good it is for you.
I can probably go on and on about how it is different but the truth is if you need persuading beyond what has been stated then you aren't ready to make a healthy change in your life. And armed with that fact I would venture to say no matter what system or product you use it will not be beneficial to you. Sure you will lose weight with this product if you follow the easy to use directions. However, if you are not ready to make a real commitment to your own health than you will be right back where you started anyway.
The picture above is my actual before and after picture. My results may or may not be typical but they are real. So if you are committed to you and you are looking to help others be committed to themselves also then Team Hard Corps is the place you need to be and Ignite 15 is the program you need to be doing. Join my wife and I at http://www.drinkactweb.com/anacollins and we will help you reach your goals. Hope to see you soon.

Get In, Get Out or Get Over: Part 3 Get Over
I imagine that a lot of you are thinking the get over is along the lines of get over yourself and just make it happen. That is not the way this post is going.
If you either have done everything you can or you just can't bring yourself to do more for any reason and you are not having the success you want then you need this part of the series. This part is Get Over.
I know that the old saying is "if at first you don't succeed try try again". I also heard, and right now I can't remember where, "if at first you don't succeed try try again, if you still don't succeed, try something else".
Now I believe that Network Marketing is the best way to inexpensively get into a profitable business. I also believe there is a multitude of legitimate companies out there you can find to work with.
So, to my point. What if the company you are with is not the company you gel with? Take a long hard look at it and make a choice. Could it be the product line, the people, the way business is done or something else that just doesn't really get you going? Don't get me wrong, they may be a great company with products people want and many are doing well with. But maybe their line is nothing you can get passionate about. Maybe some of the people you have met just aren't the circle of people you would hang with in other circumstances. And like I said I am not saying any of them have done anything wrong or it is a bad company, it's just not your cup of tea.
Well then you need to Get Over. Research other companies. Look at their product line, their leadership, their direction for the future and anything else you find important. Then when you find one you know fits you better then Get Over to it and become the success you are meant to be. You know in the past you had jobs that were perfectly good jobs but they just weren't the one you saw yourself in long term. What did you do? You found a new job. This is the same thing. Not all companies, no matter how good they are, are for everyone. So find the one for you.
If you are looking for a new home I ask that you look into joining with Team Hard Corps at http://www.drinkactweb.com/anacollins and after doing your research hopefully we will be the fit you have been looking for.
So, look over the 3 part series, ask the questions and be as honest as possible. Then Get In, Get Out or Get Over. Here is to all the success you work for no matter what route you take.

Get In, Get Out or Get Over: Part 2 Get Out
Welcome back, this is part two of this series. Hopefully, if you are returning to read part two you have asked yourself the hard questions. Also, you have decided to stay in and want more information to make your journey more successful or you are not quite sure yet so you are searching for the other questions to ask.
If you decided to stay in or get in, if you are just starting, than congratulations and I wish you all the success you want out of life. Please let me know if I can help in any way. If you are not sure yet than read this section and come back on Thursday for part three.
I don't know if I have any more questions for you to ask but we can go over your answers. If you said yes it was you because you weren't putting everything you could into it but you are not sure you want to Get IN then your decision may be to Get Out. So I may have more questions. If you haven't done everything ask yourself: Am I capable of putting in more? Do I want to put in more? Am I interested enough to try harder?
If no is your answer then you most definitely need to Get Out. I don't say this disrespectfully but not everyone is cut out to run their own business. Michael Gerber said on a training course I took said "that sometimes people get into business because they are technicians suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure". What does that mean, you may ask? That means, just because someone can fix a car does not mean they can run a shop. Just because someone knows how to help someone get a good workout doesn't mean they can operate the entire gym.
Times are getting harder and a Home Based Business is an excellent option to try and beat that. It is not for everyone. Some people can't handle the stress and being an employee is the choice for them. So, if you have not decided to Get In then your choice may just be to Get Out. Don't act to hastily though, stick around for Part 3 before you make your decision.
Also, if you answered yes that you have done everything possible and you still haven't had success then you need to ask the questions above. If you answer yes to those than Part 3 just may be your answer. You also have to ask yourself do I have the circle of support to make this happen? If yes, great if no, widen your circle.
So whatever you choose to do I hope that Team Hard Corps can be of help. We can help you when you join us at http://www.drinkactweb.com/anacollins and we can also help you if you don't join by providing what we hope will be useful information and inspiration to keep moving toward your dreams. Until next time just keep looking to yourself for the hard questions and find out what your answers are.

Get In, Get Out or Get Over: Part 1 Get In
This will be a wordy series but it will be worth it. The information in this series can be used for any area of your life. For example: If you are in the corporate world climbing the ladder, for a hobby you would like to take to a new level, working at a job or your own business. However, I will be specifically talking about Network Marketing since that is where I am coming from. So, if you are in your job for quite some time and haven't moved up, your hobby is so-so and you can't get to the level you desire, you are stuck in a dead end job or you are in a brick and mortar business or Network Marketing, feel free to apply this to your situation and assess your current status and make all necessary changes accordingly.
Okay, if you are in the Network Marketing business or are thinking about Network Marketing then I am sure you know many of the success stories and also some of the not so successful stories. My belief is that the potential of this industry is that in a very little time you should be able to make a decent amount. Within a few months you should be able to get enough coming in to at least cover your cost for the product you purchase through your business. Within the first year, if not sooner, you should be making enough to completely replace your current income.
So, if you have been in Network Marketing for a year or more and you are not being successful you need to ask some serious questions. Are you doing everything possible to be successful? Now I mean really. Not just letting people know about it once in a while, or getting on a call now and then. I mean, day in and day out, doing all you can to promote you and your business and create the life of your dreams.
I am pretty sure that most of you will say no. You are probably treating this as a hobby. Or you may be under the misunderstanding that you can join a business, sit back and watch the money roll in so you haven't lifted a finger to make it work. Unfortunately most people who do that later say that business is a scam. I didn't make a dime. Well, if you don't work, you don't get paid. Just like having a job. You go to work, you work, you get paid. Or you go to work, you don't work, you get fired. So it never ceases to amaze me how many people start a business, of any sort, and think they don't have to work to well...make it work.
After taking a serious look at myself I realized that I could have been much further along had I assessed myself. But, I was viewing it as follows: I love these products and it would be great if someday I could make some money at it. Well, no more hoping. I decided to work this as a business and get into doing everything possible to get this thing where I want it to be.
My challenge to you right now is to take a long hard look at yourself and where you are in your business. If it is not where you want it then decide why. If you are the reason then I say to you GET IN. Try for one year doing everything you can everyday to make it work. Tell everyone, market, get on calls, make calls, follow up, share your product, your plan, your vision, do webinars, parties and anything else you can think of to get yourself at the top of your game. You may only have 2 hours a week or two hours a day to dedicate to it but make them the most productive hours you can by having a plan of action written out for them.
If you are just now thinking of getting into your own Home Based Business ask yourself the hard questions. Make sure you are going to be serious about building your business. After all the only one who is negatively affected is you. That is why you need to know why you are doing this and make it happen. If you are looking for a home then I invite you to join Team Hard Corps at http://www.drinkactweb.com/anacollins and let us help you build your dream.

Assessment Time
Okay, just a quick post. It is time for some serious assessment. The only way anyone can be successful is to be completely honest with yourself. Look inwardly this week and assess your life. Are you where you want to be? If so, good for you keep up the good work. If not, dive deep into yourself and find out why. Don't blame anyone else, you are not a victim. Don't blame yourself, you may not have realized what is happening. Now is not the time for blame it is the time for inspection. Find out what you are doing right and wrong. Improve what you are doing right and fix what you are doing wrong. Decide whether you are on the path YOU actually want to be on. We are not talking about being on a path someone else wants for you, regardless of how successful you may or may not be. I am talking about living the life YOU want for YOU.
On Thursday, July 19th I am starting a 3 part series on assessment and what to do when you learn what you need to learn. The series is going to be "Get In, Get Out or Get Over". So look for it on Thursday the 19th (Get In), Monday July 23rd (Get Out) and Thursday July 26th (Get Over).
In the meantime while you wait to find out the path you want to be on do some research and look at options. One great option I have found is at http://www.drinkactweb.com/anacollins and the reason is that we have a great team dynamic and we are on fire to help you succeed. We are Team Hard Corps and we are with Team BRDiamonds. We hope that when you find your Get In path we are a part of it. Either way look for the series and we will help you find out your true path.
