How to Develop a Complimentary Business – Health & Wellness

Health and wellness is my passion! The last few months have been focused on Reiki and the healing benefits of this complimentary alternative approach to western medicine. After reading and researching I began to search for qualified Reiki Masters to learn from. There are a handful with different teaching styles, approaches, environments – finding the one that best suits your learning style is critical.

Hands down, the BEST information/teaching aid I found is a home study course that is comprehensive, easy to understand, step by step, and highly affordable. Having already spent money for a couple of Reiki sessions, I was extremely excited to find this course and develop my skills, help others achieve a greater sense of well being, and build a complimentary business. Believe me, the higher the cost of tuition does NOT guarantee quality instruction!

If you are in the health, wellness, fitness, alternative medicine, or a spiritual field, Reiki is an ideal compliment to your core business! Prerequisites for Reiki training include an open mind and open heart. Compassion, professionalism, and the desire to be of service to others in facilitating healing are also key components.

If you’ve heard about Reiki and been curious, then I recommend you take a look at this course and decide if this way of learning is right for you:

1. Just for today I will not worry.
2. Just for today I will not be angry.
3. Just for today I will do my work honestly.
4. Just for today I will give thanks for my many blessings.
5. Just for today I will be kind to my neighbor and every living thing.

How to Get a Better Butt (and thighs)!

Want to lift and tone your back end quickly so you look as good coming AND going?! I absolutely recommend lunges — not only is this easy to implement exercise great for your butt but also for your quads and hamstrings. How far you step determines which muscles are more engaged while working the entire upper leg. Below is the correct form for a forward lunge. Change this up by keeping the same form but step directly back and then in a curtsy to work the muscle slightly different. Give yourself additional butt time by squeezing and releasing your butt muscle several times: while you’re standing in line, driving, reading, etc. — it’s addicting!

Starting Position

Stand with your feet about 6 inches apart from each other toes pointed forward.

How to Correctly Perform a Forward Lunge

INHALE: Step forward with one leg and lower your body to 90 degrees at both knees. Don’t step out too far. There should be 2 to 2.5 feet between your feet at this point. Keep your weight on your heels and don’t allow your knees to cross the plane of your toes. EXHALE: Push up and back with the weight in your heel, not in your toes, to the starting position to complete one rep. Repeat all reps on one leg, then switch to complete one set. Hold dumb bells to add more resistance for advanced training.

TIPS: Keep your back upright. The further you step, the more you work the glutes (buttocks) and hamstrings. The closer you step, the more you work the quadriceps muscles on the top of your thighs. Place your hand on a chair or wall or balance if necessary.

How to Never Refinance Again!

How to Keep the Weight Off!

I used to feel that weighing in each day would be a negative because it would be a reminder of how slowly (or quickly) I was to meeting my ideal weight goal. I’ve since changed my tune! In actuality, weighing in each day, at the same time every day, keeps you on track and on target. Plus, it’s been documented many times over that those that weigh in daily tend to maintain a steady weight. I definitely make it a point every morning to weigh in instead of avoiding the scale. Control your weight instead of allowing it to control you — step on your scale!

Here are the top five scales as found in the recent issue of Women’s Health:

1) Weight Watchers Glass Memory Precision Electronic Scale WW43
2) Newline Wooden platform electronic Bathroom Scale SBB0806
3) Tanita BC-558 Segmental Body Composition Monitor
4) My Weigh XL-550 Talking Scale
5) Bowflex Total Body Fat Analyzer and Scale 5584BOW

How to Increase Calorie Burn 13%

What’s the key to increasing calorie burn? Supersets – do two moves back to back with zero rest. I regularly incorporate this strategy because while it fatigues your muscles and you receive the initial metabolic spike, you’ll also receive the following benefits:

- Saves time
- Increase intensity
- Overloads muscles
- Keeps working out interesting
- Easily sets up a workout
- Incorporates more variety

The best benefit, however, you’ll continue to burn calories at a higher rate for up to 16 hours after you stop. How’s that for working out while sitting on your duff!

Fitness Tip: Hit a Plateau?

Have you been hitting it hard and are now stuck? Re-supercharge yourself and your fitness goals with these five easy plateau busters:

1) BACK OFF — This doesn’t mean putting the brakes on but simply ease up a bit! Cut down on intensity and focus on technique and flexibility. Once you feel re-energized , ramp it back up!

2) TURN IT UP A NOTCH — If you’ve been working out without feeling like you’re working out , it’s time to turn up the heat!
The easiest way to add intensity is to add resistance — either with weights or even your own body weight. You’ll know you’ve hit your mark when you feel energized or when you’re hardly able to complete your workout.

3) STREAMLINE YOUR DIET — Again , it’s all about change. If you are following a plan that rewards you when you’ve met your goal , switch to a plan that is super strict for a week. Meet the challenge head on!

4) MOVE IN THE MORNING — Add 20 minutes or so of light to moderate cardio first thing in the morning (before you eat) to get your metabolism charged for the day. Plus , you’ll be training your body how to more efficiently use stored fat as fuel.

5) ADD OR SUBTRACT 500 CALORIES / DAY — As you are training or moving towards your fitness goal , you may be underestimating how much or how little you are eating. As you become fitter , your body composition is changing (fat to lean muscle ratios) so using this strategy can jumpstart your progress again. NOTE: This strategy is based on the fact that you currently are eating properly! If you’re not , then use #3!

Are You a Property Owner?

Just Released: Voted 2008 Editor’s Choice Award by Personal Real Estate Investor Magazine for most innovative client mortgage program!!! The Money Merge Account System is marketed in the US and will be released in the Western Provinces of Canada May 1, 2008!

As featured in 2007 Scottsman Guide and 2008 Mortgage Planner — property owners across America are paying down their property loans in 1/2 to 1/3 of the time with banking strategies that have been around for decades. This results in an accelerated equity position, tens to hundreds of thousands of cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank, and property ownership free and clear. Read on to learn about the MMA system and how it can assist you.

Why Repay Your Property Loan Early

Before you read on, here are a couple of results from my clients:

- $ 11,549.83 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.3 years.

- $ 90,959.32 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 13.9 years.

- $ 119,960.64 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.4 years.

- $ 270,101.04 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.4 years.When repaying a property loan , it’s not the rate you pay that’s most important. What matters most is the total amount of interest you pay over the term of your loan. Did you get that? It’s the total amount of interest you pay over the term of your loan. For example, a $ 200,000 30-year loan at 6% will actually have a total repayment of $ 431,677 – that’s $ 231,677 in interest. It’s not until year 21 that more of your monthly payment is applied towards the principal than the interest!

I hear objections – you’re planning to refinance or move so you won’t have a 30-year loan. Okay, so you’ve refinanced and locked in a great new low rate. But, you’re also restarting the debt interest cycle – from year one. And, until you move, for whatever time you are in your property, pay down the debt and accelerate equity (in most cases more than 1,000%) instead of just paying the minimum. Then, when you move, you’ll have a larger chunk of equity to tap.

I Can Do This Myself
This is another common objection. If you are one of the less than 1% of people that IS doing this, congratulations. Let’s say you are using the bi-weekly strategy. You can expect a loan term reduction of seven years maximum. With the MMA system, you can expect a loan term reduction of 7 years minimum with an average pay off in 10.4 years. Of course, the final outcome is based on a number of variables and your unique situation.

Do you own a car? If you had a major breakdown, would you take the time to troubleshoot, call for parts, wait for the parts to arrive, and then fix it? Or, would you take it to an expert who also provides a money back guarantee and will have you back on the road within a matter of hours? Same applies here. You could take the time and have a ton of spreadsheets with calculations that also figures out how each individual purchase affects your loan pay-off or you could update the MMA system in 10 – 15 minutes / month and get the same results.

How Does This Work?

Today you purchased a new washer and dryer for $ 1,000 on your credit card with 11.9% interest. You pay the balance off before or on the due date. How much interest did you pay? That’s right – zero! Now think bigger…..

The MMA system uses an interest cancellation account in the form of an equity or personal line of credit. By using the bank’s money (it’s the bank’s property until you receive the title) – the property’s equity – you can reduce the balance owing on your primary property loan while cancelling interest and accelerating your equity position. This means more of your money goes towards your principal balance each month, helping you repay your loan years ahead of your standard loan schedule.

Still Think You Can Do This On Your Own?

Optimum interest savings under this system is a delicate balance between your primary loan, your line of credit, your income, expenses, transfers, etc. If you transfer too much to your primary property loan, it can cost you more interest on your line of credit. If you transfer too little, it can cost you “lost” interest savings on your primary mortgage. This system assists you to reduce both the interest and time owing on your existing loan by strategically positioning your money where it can provide much more financial benefit and by functioning as your primary checking account – with money going in and money going out.

How Much Does it Cost?

If your loan officer said to you, “Hey Bob or Sally, I have a system that will pay your property off in 1/2 to 1/3 of the time, save you from paying thousands of dollars in scheduled interest, requires no additional monthly income, no refinance, and no change to your lifestyle. It only costs you 3 points on the balance of your loan. Are you in?” You’ may respond, “You bet! Where do I sign!” Three points on a $ 200,000 loan is $ 6,000.00 – from your pocket! The MMA system costs much less than this and also is backed by a money-back guarantee, can be transferred to subsequent properties, and can be funded using the bank’s money.

The right question to ask is “How much will it cost me if I don’t check it out?”. Here are a couple of results from my clients:

- $ 11,549.83 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.3 years.

- $ 90,959.32 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 13.9 years.

- $ 119,960.64 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.4 years.

- $ 270,101.04 in cancelled interest dollars otherwise owed to the bank and property pay off in 9.4 years.

What Next?

Sound too good to be true? If I asked you to loan me $ 20 with the guarantee to pay you back $ 5 every week for the rest of your life, would you do it? Probably – because of the return on investment even though it sounds too good to be true.
