Well since you say so, I'll tell you.</p> <p>YOUR JOB.</p> <p>The guy at the top, the CEO, gets the benefits of being at the top. He or she gets lots of money and stock options, etc.</p> <p>The workers are at the bottom (and there are lots of them) are working their hours to keep the "monster" (the company) profitable and moving forward.</p> <p>The worker gets paid for their experience, but the real money is made at the top. It all gets funneled up. You may become CEO someday if the current CEO retires or dies, or you get more education, or some other "freak" chance. The odds are that you may not reach the executive level, you'll probably do your hours complaining about it, get your money every other week and go home tired and mad, and then take your frustrations out on your wife, kids, or pet.</p> <p>You need a chance to become the executive. Network Marketing puts the odds in your favor. It allows you to be the CEO and for everyone on your team to be the CEO of their own business.</p> <p>Now what's the real pyramid deal? Your job or Network Marketing?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.waiora.com/myProducts.php?d=649825&i=50001"><img border="0" width="700" src="http://www.potenthealthsupplements.com/_images/become_dist_text.gif" alt="financial freedom" height="30" /></a></p> <p>Your comments and questions are always welcome.</p> <p>Erik Loebl</p> <p><a href="http://www.potenthealthsupplements.com/"><a href="http://www.potenthealthsupplements.com" title="http://www.potenthealthsupplements.com" target="_blank">www.potenthealthsupplements.com</a></a></p> <p><a href="http://www.potenthealthsupplements.com/"><img width="50" src="http://potenthealthsupplements.com/blog/_images/emoticons/thumbs_up.gif" alt="http://potenthealthsupplements.com/blog/_images/emoticons/thumbs_up.gif" height="50" /></a></p><div class="oneCommentDetails"> 1 Comments - <a href="http://members.ncdpro.com/erikloebl/blog/comment.one?xref_id=10012849&type=blog_post">Leave a Comment</a> </div>Tue, 09 Jun 2009 17:48:56 -0500Let’s give a big round of applause to….http://members.ncdpro.com/erikloebl/blog/2009/05/29/lets_give_a_big_round_of_applause_to<p>Good day to everyone,</p> <p>And a big round of applause goes out to all the 5/23 contest winners.

You may be hesitating and trying to decide whether you should do something or not.</p> <p>Take a paper and put a line down the center of it. On one side write down all of the reasons why you should do a thing. On the other side, put all the reasons why you should not do something.</p> <p>Make the commitment to do whatever the paper tells you.</p> <p>We are going to do this practice in regards to the Waiora business opportunity. You can apply this same principle to any other area of your life as well.</p> <p>Here is the thought process, the decision to make, "Should I do this business, should I use these products or not?"</p> <p>Here are the pros:</p> <ul class="unIndentedList"> <li>Very low risk.

My wife is pregnant and we use her midwife services.</p> <p>I felt that it was appropriate to give you kind readers a “heads up”…</p> <p>“Oakland, CA-High levels of lead have been found in dozens of vinyl<br /> and faux leather women’s handbags, purses and wallets purchased from<br /> Bay Area outlets of major retailers, according to testing by the<br /> Center for Environmental Health (CEH). The accessories were found to<br /> violate California standards for lead exposure under the state’s<br /> Proposition 65 consumer protection law. The material on the<br /> accessories tested at up to 90 times higher than the federal lead<br /> paint standard (federal regulations limit lead in paint to no more<br /> than 600 ppm).</p> <p>“We know that women use their purses to carry almost anything, but<br /> most women would be shocked to learn that they are carrying lead in<br /> their purses,” said CEH Research Director Caroline Cox. “With safer<br /> materials available, there is no reason that anyone should be selling<br /> these lead-tainted products.”</p> <p>Purses and other accessories found with high lead levels were<br /> purchased from major retailers, including Target, WalMart, Macy’s,<br /> Kohl’s, Sears, JC Penney’s, Ross, and other Bay Area stores. Products<br /> with high lead levels were found at all but five of the 21 retailers<br /> from which the nonprofit shopped. Brands found with high lead levels<br /> include Nine West, xhilaration (a Target store brand), Rosetti and<br /> several others. CEH initiated legal action against the retailers and<br /> accessory makers today for violating Proposition 65.</p> <p>CEH is advising women, and especially pregnant women, to avoid vinyl<br /> and faux leather accessory bags and to keep these accessories away<br /> from children. Lead was found in bags of all colors, and was<br /> prevalent in yellow and yellow-tinted (eg, green and orange) bags,<br /> suggesting that lead could be contained in the material and/or in the<br /> yellow dye.</p> <p>Scientists are increasingly concerned that there is no safe level of<br /> lead exposure, especially for pregnant women and young children. Two<br /> recent studies, both published in the National Institute of<br /> Environmental Health Sciences’s peer-reviewed journal Environmental<br /> Health Perspectives, demonstrated the impacts that lead exposure<br /> during pregnancy can have on a women’s unborn child.</p> <p>One study, investigating children’s IQ scores in relation to their<br /> mother’s blood lead level, concluded that lead exposure during<br /> pregnancy could have “lasting and possibly permanent effects” on a<br /> child’s IQ. The second study showed that lead exposure during the<br /> first trimester (three month period), when some women are not even<br /> aware that they are pregnant, had the most pronounced effects on a<br /> child’s mental development.</p> <p>Lead is also listed by the EPA and other agencies as a cancer-causing<br /> chemical, and lead exposure has been linked to higher rates of<br /> infertility in women, an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes,<br /> and high blood pressure, among other health problems.</p> <p>CEH’s legal work has previously uncovered lead threats from toys,<br /> vinyl baby bibs, children’s jewelry and many other products. CEH has<br /> a ten-year track record of protecting consumers from hidden health<br /> hazards and protecting communities from health hazards related to<br /> toxic pollution. CEH also works with major industries and leaders in<br /> green business to promote healthier alternatives to toxic products<br /> and practices.</p> <p>The retailers we found selling bags that contain high levels of lead<br /> include:</p> <p>Kohl’s<br /> Target<br /> Macy’s<br /> JCPenney<br /> H&M<br /> Wal-Mart<br /> Aldos<br /> Ross<br /> Forever 21<br /> New York and Co.<br /> Ashley Stewart<br /> 5-7-9<br /> Bakers Shoes<br /> Sears<br /> DSW</p> <p>The brands of bags we found that contain high levels of lead include:</p> <p>Fluff<br /> Aldo US<br /> Ashley Stewart<br /> Urban Brands (Ashley Stewart)<br /> Bakers<br /> Chinese Laundry<br /> Lulu NYC<br /> Forever 21<br /> Relic<br /> Haddad Accessories<br /> H&M<br /> St. John’s Bay<br /> Worthington<br /> Nine & Co.<br /> Nine West<br /> Apt. 9<br /> Daisy Fuentes<br /> Liz & Co.

You work an hour, you get paid an hour.

People have to make their living (make money) doing something, so you fall into either the <strong>"linear"</strong> or <strong>"leveraged"</strong> category.</p> <p>Most everyone who reads this earns money in a <strong>linear </strong>way. Most everyone has been brought up with a <strong>"linear income"</strong> mindset. <strong>Linear income </strong>is that if you work an hour, you get paid for an hour. 97% of the population earn money this way and that's probably why most people know about it, and are used to it.</p> <p>You probably recall as a kid growing up, dad went to work in the morning and came home in the evening. If you had a different situation you recall differently, but bottom-line is that somebody had to work to get paid.</p> <p><strong>Leveraged income</strong> is what 3% of the population do to make their money. That's what all the people with companies do to make their money. Companies leverage your abilities and educational skills and others they hire, to make them money, then the company pays you a lesser amount. The difference that the company earns and what they pay the employees makes the company profit.</p> <p>The leverage income path is the better path to go on, but since only 3% of the population is doing it, this must be difficult to proceed with, that is why so few are doing it.</p> <p>To have a company, you have to pay for product development, benefits, personnel, building rent, and other costs. Unless you work with a good network marketing company. One that has a potential for profit. One that is legal. One that has products people want to buy, products that actually help people's lives.</p> <p>For the common person to get a company started and to take part of this <strong>leveraged income</strong> idea, it's very profitable, but he or she will not even get started because it is too involved, too complicated, and it is just easier to get a job somewhere.</p> <p>I started out working in a warehouse and doing other manual work with my back, then I figured that working with my brain would be more promising and profitable. So I started working with computers and my brain (I figured computers would be profitable in the future). I worked "linearly" for a computer company, then I went out as a contractor and a computer service provider. both linear income options, and I know that if I don't do work, I don't get paid.</p> <p>I don't mind working, but if I work one day, I want it to pay off in the near future. Now I am seeing where leveraged income is far more superior.</p> <p>Here is my career experience:</p> <p>Where I have been: <span style="text-decoration: underline;">manual labor</span> and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">brain work</span> (both <strong>linear income </strong>streams)<br />Goal: leveraged income. (This is income not dependent ultimately on my own efforts)</p> <p>Here is leveraged income explanation:<br /><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/erikloebl/videos/1/18.798/">Take a look at this video</a></p> <p>See the potential for <strong>leveraged income</strong>? Looking for <strong>leverage income</strong> ideas? Are you a bit unsure about how to proceed? Are you thinking, "Oh, they like me at my workplace, they will never get rid of me."
