Let Freedom "Rain"

We are all so blessed to live in a free society. We can say what we want, wear what we want, go to the church we choose to attend, or not go at all. We study what we want, travel where we want, spend what we want, marry who we want...I could go on...you get the picture.

Here's some food for thought though. Do you make as much money as you want? Do you take your vacation when you want? Do you live where you want? Do you have everything you want?

I would be willing to bet much of your "freedom" is dictated by a J-O-B. You probably have an employer who decides how much money you make, when you receive it, what hours of the day you have to work, when you take your vacation, and how long it will last. You probably have to ask for time off, and you may not always get the days you want. You likely live in an area that's handy to your J-O-B so it's convenient. You probably send you kids to schools you can "afford", you likely wake up to an alarm clock every day and I would venture a guess you drive a car, live in a house and take part in social activities all based on what your employer deems appropriate to pay you.

Is that TRUE freedom?

Don't get me wrong. There are lots of fantastic J-O-Bs out there that probably afford lots of people great livings. How many years of schooling did that take? How high are the student loan payments? When will the guy in the corner office retire or die so you can have HIS J-O-B?

Here's my point...

I had the incredible pleasure of attending a training event this weekend with world-renowned network marketing trainer Paula Pritchard. She talks about true freedom to anyone who will listen. She also talks about it in her wonderful book called "Owning Yourself". If you have ever considered network marketing even for a nano-second, I highly recommend this book.

Financial freedom means having the money to do what you want and the time to do it. Network marketing offers both! It takes work... make no mistake about that, but it's a simple duplicatable process that ANYONE can do. You don't need a degree, you don't need experience, you don't need a certain number of chromosomes or ribs! You just need the desire for a life that is better than the one you have.

And it's not just the money! How much to you love your co-workers? Come on...tell the truth. When was the last time you hugged a co-worker or just wanted to tell the world what a wonderful person someone in the office is? When was the last time someone higher up on the corporate ladder took you by the hand and said, "let's work together to help you make more money...heck, lets see if we can get you making more money than I do"?...People in network marketing do all of that stuff! No Kidding!!! When was the last time you wanted to be a fly on the wall when your boss fell and chipped a tooth??? Think about it!

So here is it...if you have the dedication, tenacity and commitment, network marketing could very well get you out of the rat race, and make you a serious income. For some people it happens virtually overnight, for some not so much. The absolute fact is...network marketing WORKS! I know...It's working for me, and I had cocktails with a couple of multi-millionaires on the weekend...I'm pretty sure it's working for them as well! If someone tells you network marketing doesn't work there are two possibilities: They have never tried it, or they signed up with a network marketing and sat with their feet up and expected the cheques to start rolling in. If someone tells you that's all there is to it...run! Run long and run fast! It takes work, but it's a simple process. No job application, no interview process. Just the desire for true freedom.

Freedom is raining on people in the network marketing industry. Heck, we're in a downpour, and we have the biggest rain barrels in the world!

Mel Gibson had it all wrong!

What do women really want? The age old question! Fame, love, a big bag of money?

You may recall Mel Gibson did a movie several years ago where he could read women's minds so he could give them exactly what they wanted! Pretty cool, but really unnecessary.

WOMEN WANT CHOCOLATE! :) If you can't give a woman all of those other things, chocolate will pretty much always do!

Turns out money DOES grow on trees!

We just returned from Toronto where we celebrated the official Canadian launch of the Xe Healthy Energy Drink and the third anniversary of Xocai in Canada! It was fantastic, with top leadership of the company giving us two days of training and inspiration. Incredible! One of my favourite parts about this company is our leaders are truly down-to-earth. There were hugs and kisses all around as we shared everything from serious business conversations to cocktail recipes! Simply fabulous!

The company is taking a bit of a new approach for 2010. We're going back to basics. In the hectic day-to-day business of being in business, we sometimes forget where we come from. In our case we come from the wonderful cacao bean. A food known for it's unbelievably high antioxidants and health benefits from as far back as the ancient Aztecs. Look it up! Chocolate was one time used as currency! Who says money doesn't grow on trees!

We have recently been learning new information on our chocolate which shows even we didn't know what we had! Read on... http://www.mxicorp.com/thewholestory/

As always, if you want more information, you can contact me at myhealthychocolate@hotmail.com or check out my website at www.andrealoveschocolate.com Also, please have a look at my youtube video...all part of an amazing contest...the company is giving away everything from cases of energy drink to a 40 thousand dollar truck! :)

Bay of Fundy XeBreeze!

The new year is off to an incredible start with the launch of our Xe Healthy Energy Drink! We are having a tonne of fun! On New Year's Day, we took part in two very exciting events. One was the annual Polar Dip at Mispec Beach in Saint John. There is a youtube video to come...stay tuned for that! I will post the link on this blog so no one misses out! :)

We also had a Purple Haze party at Inn on the Cove, hosted by our wonderful business partners Ross and Willa Mavis. Purple Haze is a martini created in the U.S. to coincide with the launch of Xe. It's a great drink, but we wanted to create something that was uniquely Atlantic Canadian! So the goal of our party was not only to have fun and introduce people to our outstanding new drink, but also to create our own cocktail, the Bay of Fundy XeBreeze (pronounced "seabreeze"!)

Here's how to make yours!

In a shaker, combine with ice:

1.5 oz gin
1.5 oz raspberry Sour Puss
2 oz Xe Healthy Energy
2 oz fresh orange juice
a splash of club soda

You can shake it if you like, but be careful...it's carbonated!!! You're probably better off to "swish" it or stir it until it's ice cold, then strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with a fresh raspberry and enjoy!

This is a wonderful, fresh cocktail with lots of healthy energy to boot! It would also make a lovely punch, which is what we're planning to do for our next big event! Stay tuned!

Till next time...
