Fluff and Skirts

I've found a new pet peeve, LOL. However, there is a happy ending. ;-)

I'm all for the education on positive thinking and self improvement because as a network marketer, the learning curve never really ends until you breathe your last breath. I was told that once you make the shift of becoming a student of life, opportunities to learn and grow stronger pop up everywhere and never cease. Let's just say that after a few days ago, I'm a believer. :-)

I recently purchased Mike Dillard's Magnetic Sponsoring booklet and was very excited to get the book and started reading it as soon as I opened it. Half way through it, I thought, "Oh no, FLUFF!!" And "skirts"! But I thought, "now wait a minute, let's give the whole book a chance, maybe I just haven't reached the nugget yet." Ok, I kept reading.

Just to clarify - Fluff is a bunch of stuff to heighten the emotional excitement that leads up to the final "aha!" or nuggett/gem of knowledge. Skirts - as in skirting the issue or around what the answser really is without ever coming right out and saying it. There - Fluff & Skirts.

Back to my story, I finished the book, which was a very well written and put together as far as the layout, layman terms, and professionalism of the physical book itself. BUT...........I felt deflated. Don't ask me what I was looking for in it because I don't even really know but possibly, maybe some techinique or system spelled out 1-2-3 boom. Something where as soon as I put the book down, I could walk over to the computer and implement the idea/technique and hopefully got the same results as he did. Not happenin!!

Part of that disappointment was from not just this book but other e-books as well that was full of Fluff & Skirts too. Gosh, are they all like that???? They tell you that if you read it, you will get the same results as the author, or you can use the idea TODAY, or your profits will soar within a week, or you won't believe what will happen to your bank account, and then...........you have to buy the course or go to the seminar which costs thousands of dollars. Or, the answer you're looking for is written in riddle format. Of course, people who really need this information can't afford it and will be too broke to implement a peice of it because you have to do the whole pie in one shot! If I was making my millions, would I need the course???

Now, you see how this became my new pet peeve right? And how overwhelming that emotion was for me? This must have been my highest point of anger or lowest point of disappointment because it overshadowed what I was supposed to learn from the book. First "AHA!" there. ;-)

So, I decided to wait a couple of days and just forget about the book and get back to feeling good again. I sat here at my computer having my coffee wondering what to do next. It was at this point it hit me (2nd "AHA!" here, a big one too!) what I was supposed to learn from the book.

I'm NOT supposed to be looking for a sure-fire bullet technique to run off with and succeed. Uh-uh, not this time. I'm supposed to figure out what I'm good at or feel like an expert in and promote that rather than my business or products. Does being a good Mom count??? LOL But really, in all seriousness, I don't know what I'm good at, never thought about it before except I can talk your ear off on the phone about whatever. ;-)

Then I had my 3rd "AHA!" moment. Well, more like a "DUH!" moment. What am I good at?? TRADESHOWS!!!! Oh yeah, I love them and almost got them down to a science. :-) That will be my next project in the works. And guess what? There won't be any Fluff & Skirts in this e-book, that's for sure! Techniques 1-2-3 galore. :-)

I looked over at that book again on my dining room table and thought, "You little bugger, you got me to think outside the box and deep down inside to come up with what I was looking for." Thanks Mike Dillard. :-)

What Does Chocolate Do For You?

I know there are some chocoholics out there who would love to comment on such a delicious treat. :-) I like chocolate, preferably the Dark Chocolate, especially now that I know it's healthier than milk chocolate. It takes some getting used to like acquiring a taste for it but once you go Dark, you don't want to go back. For me, chocolate is like a cure-all for a bad day, feels warm inside, energizes me to go go go.

And speaking of healthy, did you know there's a company that came out with a "healthy chocolate"? Yeah, really! When I first of heard of it, I was like, "You got to be kidding me!" A friend of mine showed it to me and I got to sample a few pieces and she was kind enough to let me take some home for my hubby and friend to try. Let's just say they only got ONE PIECE! LOL

Out of the 5-6 products they had, the Power Squares and the Omega Bar are my favorite. The Omega Bar has a berry scent of the Acai Berry and a light Orangy fuit smell. MMMMMMMM! The Power Squares are the Dark Chocolate and as soon as I saw the box, my mind was racing, creating wrapped gifts with them in it. Oboy!!! These would be great for my candle shows to give to people as they come up to my table. The only problem I would have is - how do I tell them they can only have 2-3 pieces for the day??? LOL The antioxidant level and ORAC score is so abundant, that you've satisfied your nutrition supplements for the day.

Now this is what "Eating chocolate without the guilt" is really all about! :-) People have reported that they lost weight eating it as well as other positive benefits in their health. Imagine buying this chocolate, eating less of it through the year than you would normally eat other chocolate, AND GETTING HEALTHIER! I know you're thinking this cannot possibly be done! Dare to prove me wrong??

One thing that stands out about this healthy chocolate is the major difference in how it's made. This is crucial as to why it's so powerful - no heating involved! It's all cold-pressed and retains all the health benefits and antioxidants chocolate is supposed to have to begin with. Amazing! of course, you have to watch the video to see what I'm talking about.

AND.......of course, you'll have to ask my dear friend, Sherri Diamond, to show it to you by going to her chocolate website here and see for yourself. :-) Kinda reminds me of that humorous phrase - "I have this skinny woman inside of me screaming to come out, but I can usually shut her up with some chocolate". I might have the exact wording incorrect but I know you know the phrase I'm talking about. Now, instead of shutting that woman up, let her out and be free! Why not? You just might......................feel better! See, now you don't have to throw out that special/sexy dress you've been saving up for a special occasion when you finally lose enough weight to fit into it. I got about 7 dresses like that!

Let me hear those chocoholics out there ROAR!!!!! :-) The first 5 people who request more information at Sherri's website, will receive 6 samples of chocolate (3 Power Squares and 3 Nuggets). This is a 2-day supply for you or you can share it with friends and family. There is just one catch......................you MUST put MCL after your first name on the form. (example - Robyn MCL). That way Sherri knows you found her through my blog. Othwerwise, you will NOT be eligible to receive the 6 free samples. Make sure whatever other information is required is filled out too. How else are you going to get the goodies? ;-)

Easy enough isn't it? :-) This is one chocolate you need to EXPERIENCE for yourself, I cannot exactly explain what it will do for you because, well, I'm not you! LOL

To those of you that get the free samples, Happy Eating!! :-)
