For the past 18 days I have been exercising for a Youtube challenge. Usually 45 minutes to an hour and a half per day. Now I have exercised before so that is not new in itself. I usually take break days, about 1 or 2 per week. I am more than half way through and this has really been a positive experience for me. I am feeling stronger and I feel good because I never thought I would get this far. I am surprising myself. I am really learning about me during this weightloss journey.

My family is being very supportive. My 4 daughters take turns working out with me when they can. My hubby watches my videos after work and I am getting tons of support from my weightloss buddies on Youtube.

However everything has not been a bed of roses during these last 18 days. I've had technical difficulties due to my laptop cord conking out. I've had to jump through hoops to get a video out because the webcam doen't register properly on my daughter's computer. (I will be ever so happy when my cord gets here.) I've even forgotten to take a heart med twice... oh boy. Instead of finding away to back out of the challenge I have kept on going.

You've just heard of a great opportunity. Several people you know are involved with the company and they tell you "This is the one. You need to join now." You're so excited. It sounds like a wonderful opportunity. People are earning already. You know how much it costs to join and you have the money......HALT, STOP, DO NOT PASS GO AND DO NOT COLLECT 200 DOLLARS. IS THIS A 5 PILLARS COMPANY? HAVE YOU....

1. Checked it out?....You can google the name of the president of the company. Check the company out with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU and see if they are reputable or if they have been involved in any business scams in the past. IF SO BE WARY. If they have been unscrupulous in the past don't assume they have good business morals now. A GOOD COMPANY WILL HAVE MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE WITH INTEGRITY. WHICH MEANS THEY RUN THEIR COMPANY WELL AND THEIR AIM IS NOT TO CHEAT YOU.

2. Checked out how long they've been around? TIMING IS IMPORTANT. IT IS BEST TO NOT JOIN A COMPANY THAT HAS JUST STARTED UP. MOST COMPANIES FAIL AFTER TWO YEARS. WHERE WOULD THAT LEAVE YOU? IF THEY MAKE IT TO THREE OR FOUR YEARS JOIN THEN. IT WILL BE JUST AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN WHAT THEY ARE HYPING IT UP TO BE NOW. Also is the product you will sell available online for less than you will be asking? Where do you think customers will go? TO WHO EVER IS SELLING THE PRODUCT FOR THE CHEAPEST PRICE.

3. Investigated the product? Is it remarkable?YOU WANT A PRODUCT THAT PEOPLE WANT AND NEED OR JUST HAVE TO HAVE. DO YOU HAVE TO USE IT? NO. IT'S NOT FOR YOU. Example: A man selling make up or a woman selling men's vitamins. FIND WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND GIVE IT TO THEM.

4. Truly checked out the compensation plan? If the company says you can make 12,000 per month or even 40,000 a month have you checked into how much volume it will take to do that or if your pay plan is even based on volume. IS THE COMPANIES PLAN BASED ON REFERRALS? DOES THE MONEY STOP ONCE THE RECRUITING STOPS. THOSE ARE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW. You also need to know what type of plan it is. For example: If it is a matrix plan you may need thousands of referrals to achieve your desired level of pay. If the company is offering spillover it can promote laziness. People will join and do nothing thus waiting for you to build their business instead of contributing to the building of yours.ARE YOU WILLING TO PAY MONTH AFTER MONTH OR YEAR AFTER YEAR TO BE IN A BUSINESS THAT WILL BE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THE EXTREMELY LARGE AMOUNT OF REFERRALS NEEDED TO ACHIEVE THE MONTHLY AMOUNT OF MONEY THE COMPANY IS OFFERING. Also if your plan is 4X6 for example: You do realize that you make no money on levels 7 on down. What if that is your strongest level. Or what if level 9 is? IT WON'T MATTER BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET PAID ON THE LEVELS OUTSIDE YOUR PLAN.

5. Seen if the system is duplicatable? If you can't train your downline to do what you do or if your upline doesn't properly train you how far do you think your business will go? PEOPLE MAKING NO MONEY GET FRUSTRATED AND THEY WILL DROP OUT. YOU NEED A SYSTEM TO TRAIN YOUR PEOPLE SO THEY ARE PREPARED AND CAN THUS BUILD THE BUSINESS.

**BEFORE YOU JOIN ANY COMPANY MAKE SURE THEY HAVE THE FIVE PILLARS FOR SUCCESS. YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YOU DON'T.

** DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK FOR A COMPANIES POLICIES AND PROCEDURES PLAN. WHAT IS IN THERE COULD SERIOUSLY AFFECT YOU. WOULD YOU KNOWINGLY JOIN A COMPANY THAT COULD TERMINATE YOU AT ANYTIME FOR ANY REASON OR EVEN STEAL YOUR DOWNLINE AND PLACE THEM UNDER SOMEONE ELSE. Of course you wouldn't...but if you don't read it you'll never know. Better to be safe than sorry.

Gain knowledge...Apply what you learn and OWN your life.

30 day exercise challenge.
