Life As She Is Lived...if you're ABA

Early morning call for new tractor tires brought out Mike's  ABA antenna(Always Be Alert for ways to help folks with Zija is his motto).  Here's his note about this Encounter of the Z-Kind:

Here is ________.    Was highly recommended and came promptly -- seems like a nice guy.  He told me  he is overweight by about 60 lbs.

I gave him some Pomegranate Jelly and  Super Mix and XM +.

I  mentioned my friend Jim had lost 48 lbs on Zija. Then he said  he is  getting fat because he is an alcoholic and drinks all time.

           Good thing he put my new tires on Tractor at 7:30 AM

He asked if I thought product  would help with his drinking problem.

Gonna find out.

Mike

Dismal news from Fresno Bee this morning, if you're trying to put bread on the table:

Another economic list is telling Fresnans something that many already know: It's tough to find a job here, and many of the jobs that are available just don't pay very well.
WalletHub.com, a social network aimed at issues related to personal finance and economics, on Monday issued its 2014 report on the best and worst large cities to find a job. Fresno's dismal ranking -- 57th out of 60 major U.S. cities -- reflects the city's economic and employment situation as it continues its slow slog out of recession.
Fresno, with just over a half million people, is the nation's 34th most-populous city.
The WalletHub report evaluated communities' appeal to job-seekers under three broad categories:
• Ease of finding a job.
• Pay and benefits.
• Cost of living.

And then there's this employment-export of  CA workers:

SEE IT: ‘We’re in Syria, homie!’ Are two L.A. gangbangers fighting FOR Assad?

Two punks who identify themselves as ‘Wino’ and ‘Creeper’ proudly identify themselves as gang members in a bizarre 2-minute clip discovered by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

 *************

With the economy the way it is, and people's health the way it is, you'd think everyone would want to be Zija-preneurs!  If they knew what we know, THEY WOULD.

So today am committing to Z-blasts every day.... personal calls or messages to our unending list of contacts, associates, former associates, new associates, etc., so that everyone 'knows what we know'!

You never know what someone you meet would like help with, like Tractor Guy above.  Engage in conversation and LISTEN... we've found that a lot of people would just like someone to hear them and offer a word of hope -- and a sleeve of XM+ doesn't hurt, either!

Pro-biotics and Weight Loss

Some pro-biotic info for your edification today ---  you have probably heard the phrase 'pro-biotic' or 'enzymatically alive' in regard to SmartMix.   And it's importance  probably went straight over your head!  I know it did mine.

But check this short article summarizing a study of this very subject on weight loss:  read and learn!

Promote Healthy Weight with Probiotics

Posted on Feb. 5, 2014, 6 a.m. in Women's Health Dietary Supplementation Weight and Obesity

The human gastrointestinal tract requires “good bacteria” to help the body to absorb and utilize nutrients from food properly.  Previous studies demonstrate that the intestinal flora of obese individuals differs from that of people of normal weight.  Some scientists speculate that this difference may be due to the fact that a diet high in fat and low in fiber promotes certain bacteria at the expense of others.  Angelo Tremblay, from Laval University (Canada), and colleagues enrolled 125 overweight men and women to undergo a 12-week weight-loss diet, followed by a 12-week period aimed at maintaining body weight. Throughout the entire study, half the participants swallowed 2 pills daily containing probiotics from the Lactobacillus rhamnosus family, while the other half received a placebo.  After the 12-week diet period, researchers observed an average weight loss of 4.4 kg in women in the probiotic group,  as compared to 2.6 kg in the placebo group.  After the 12-week maintenance period, the weight of the women in the placebo group had remained stable but the probiotic group had continued to lose weight, for a total of 5.2 kg per person.  In other words, the women consuming probiotics seemed to have lost twice as much weight over the 24-week period of the study. Researchers also noted a drop in the appetite-regulating hormone leptin in this group, as well as a lower overall concentration of the intestinal bacteria related to obesity.  Speculating that probiotics may act by altering the permeability of the intestinal wall and keep certain proinflammatory molecules from entering the bloodstream, which may help to prevent the chain reaction that leads to glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.

Does the XM Weight Management System Work?

Published by admin on February 7, 2014 | Comments Off

Does the XM Weight Management System Work?

Twenty pounds doesn’t sound like a lot of weight, but on a petite 5’2″ woman it makes the difference between getting up depressed every morning, searching for something in the closet that doesn’t make you look fat, versus being able to don any dress in the store and feel like a princess.

So many of my professional colleagues are in exactly this place: It’s only been 2 pounds per year, but after a decade there it is – a twenty-pound hula hoop bloating your waist, hips and thighs. And no amount of dieting or exercise can make it go away.

Enter Zija. When I first joined in July 2012, I weighed 127 pounds and wore a lot of black. The first 10 pounds came off fairly easily with SmartMix and the Premium Tea, but then I hit a plateau. In July of 2013, I decided to get serious about the weight loss and started using the PR1ME90 protein smoothies (scrumptious with almond milk and frozen fruit) as meal replacements for breakfast and most dinners. Bingo! The perfect recipe for dropping the second 10 pounds, where I’ve stabilized for the last several months. (See pic of the dress I wore to the Zija Convention in October, 2013.)

For people without high blood pressure, who need to lose more than twenty pounds and/or who want the weight loss to happen a lot faster, Zija has a range of thermogenic products like XM+, XMam, the convenient XMburn capsules, and the new Daily Tea with moringa and garcinia cambogia. Fast or slow, a little or a lot – Zija is your delicious, convenient, safe and healthy way to lose weight. Make 2014 the year when your dreams of waking up a princess come true.

The Elevator Speech and Why You Need One

Most important tool you have:  your 'elevator speech'. The elevator speech is not just for elevators -- it is for those moments when someone looks at you and asks "What do you do?"  or mentions "Gee, I need to lose about 30 lbs!" or says anything else that BING!,  calls to mind how you can help them with Zija.

 ReadWrite.com sets the scene for you, a young entrepreneur with a great start-up that you need investors for:

The elevator door opens. And there stands your ideal investor. It's the chance of a lifetime. But that chance only lasts as long as the elevator ride - you have less than a minute to make an impression. Hopefully, you've got a well-crafted elevator pitch ready to give.

The elevator pitch is not the hurried presentation of a full-blown business plan. It's an introduction, an overview - and a short one at that - meant to capture the attention of a potential investor. Of course, an elevator ride is a short one. Guides for elevator speeches that say you have one minute. Of course, an elevator speech isn't restricted to elevators. Rather, it comes in handy for any occasion where a concise presentation is appropriate.

1. Keep it short. Be succinct. According to Wikipedia, an adult's attention span is eight seconds, so be sure to give just enough information (and more importantly perhaps the right information) so that after only hearing a sentence or two, someone knows what you do - and if it's a pitch, what you need.
2. Have a hook. A phrase that catches attention and is memorable.
3. Pitch yourself, not ideas.  Instead of talking about ideas, highlight what you've done (or what Zija's done) - the concrete accomplishments or skills - rather than some intangible concept or a future goal.
5. Don't overwhelm with technical or statistical terminology. While being able to tout one or two amazing and memorable phrases or figures can be useful, don't fill your elevator speech with numbers or jargon.
6. Practice. Rehearse your elevator pitch so that when the opportunity to give it comes, you can deliver it smoothly.
7. Use the same tactics for print. You can hone your elevator skills by practicing them in writing. Babak Nivi describes the email elevator pitch here.

*****************

Here's Mike Lammons on this important tool:

People  fall into 2 groups:

1. they have never done MLM

2. they have done MLM. In this group, they fall in to two subgroups:

a. they had good success (5%)
b. they had bad success (95).  If bad experience, they probably have a negative attitude.

In these 2 groups- you either  know them or  not.

Strangers are your gold market.  So having an 'elevator speech' in your head makes sense.

Get to know them:

Ask where are you from.
What do you do for a living.

Either of these questions open up another for you.
"Do you keep options open to make residual income?"
            ALWAYS ask question where you know answer is YES.
"I have a friend who has lost 49 lbs on a product and he is 78 and never worked out a day in his life.
Do you have any friends with diabetes, arthritis or overweight?"
Prepare yourself to make friends of strangers and have a handy elevator speech and you are off to work a limitless future because you'll never run out of people you don't know!

I equate sharing Zija to planting Paulownia Trees- I have 262 planted now and am planting another 100 in 2 months.    Some grow fast/some grow slow:   my tallest one   20'1" in 8 months. Shortest one 10' 3" in 8 months.

         But  THEY ALL RESPOND TO BEING  NURTURED-  just like people.
