Morning everyone! Eric here.
Linda is returning today from Knoxville so I thought I would jump in and share some things.

Life truly is a journey and I am thrilled that I get to share mine with Linda. Every journey starts with a vision and destinations or realizations along the way. Without vision how can you start your journey or know which way to go? We have a very real vision and travel in that direction, much like a ship using a lighthouse to guide them or perhaps even a wolf leading his pack. The next stop for us is to realize financial freedom so that we can enjoy things like higher education for our kids and grandchildren as well as a the opportunity to live our dreams like hopping on the Harley and heading to mountain lake house. More about those later.

For the financial freedom, we are partnered with Qivana to help promote good health for ourselves,our family as well as friends old and new alike (remember there are no strangers, just friends you haven't met yet). Having received our first shipment and using the system, we ourselves are the first testimonials of how well the product works!

For example, fast food burgers that normally cause us distress; have not affected either of us, not that we want to make a habit of fast food burgers but we are amazed at how we felt after using the Qore probiotic. Or that it is 9:00 am here in Columbus on a Sunday after getting to bed at about 1:15 (I work late most Saturdays)and I am already up and ready to go thanks to Qore essentials! We don't support products that we don't believe in or tell stories that are true so you can believe in what Qivana is all about!

Let me close for now by saying join us on our journey, hop on your Harley and lets roll!! Start YOUR journey with a vision, follow the beacon and join the pack. Remember; "Vision is the ability to hear the music in the future. Belief is the ability to dance to it now." -Jay Davis Clarke- Can you hear it? Are you ready to dance?

People we share our lives with........

Here goes:

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you
have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance
and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their
work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to
share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never do ne.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.


LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson,
love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships
and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life,
whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

My Marketing Techinques

Running a small business together with getting it out there to the right people can be a very difficult and tedious task for some of us/you. There are many people out there that think that just because they have a great product it would be an easy sell. Let me share my latest experience with you...I have been out there, on the streets, trying to make sales. Well I went into GNC the other day and was speaking with Doyle, the Manager, about the product and his defenses were up big time. All I was doing was asking him to review the information and give me some feedback - no signing up, no pressure - just please give me some validation/opinions on my product since he is obviously well educated in the field of nutrition. Well, needless to say I asked him for a phone number and he declined saying that he would review and e-mail me. Okay so I let two days go by - no word from him so I called him at the store. Yes he was working and he gave me a minute while I asked him if he had a chance to review information. His reply to me a great big juicy "NO - not yet". I then proceeded to inquire as to whether or not I could call him back in a few days and he was very short and curt only to tell me that he would rather I did not call him and that 'when' he has a chance to review he will e-mail me with his findings and thoughts. Okay - that one bombed out on me - but then I listened to a Qivana conference call that very night on the phone and got even more ideas on how to approach potential customers and just because that one contact failed - I am going to approach Chiropractors in the area. Now because I am primarily new to this particular concept of selling (even tho I sold real estate for many years) I am out there posting in whatever Group I can find as well as adding more and more information to my blog, I have adopted Magnetic Sponsoring into my venture, and also joined Partner Up. I guess what I am trying to get across to all of you is that when we make a decision to become an Independent Business Owner - the customers and /or potential IBO's don't just come to us -- we need to be pro-active in our search. One on one networking is also a great place to start - try going to Meetup.com and join some local groups in your area where networking and sharing your business is basically mandatory, therefore not making you feel as though you should not be sharing your product or business venture. Also check out the Chamber of Commerce in your area.

I am looking forward to a great lasting relationship with each and every one of you and hope that you will feel free to post your comments to anything written in this blog. We can ALL learn from each other.

Daily OM Message - APPRECIATING WHAT IS!

Appreciating What Is
Enjoying Your Age

In each stage of life, there are wonderful experiences one can savor and valuable insights one can absorb. Every new decade and, in fact, every new year brings with it wisdom, transformation, and growth, as well as ends and beginnings. Many people, however, believe that there is one age that eclipses the others. They expend energy trying to reach it and, once it has passed, trying to retain it. But wishing to be younger or older is a denial of the joys that have been and the joys yet to be, as well as the beauty of your life in the present. Holding on to one age can make it difficult to appreciate each new milestone you reach. Taking pleasure in the delights of your age, whether you are in your 20s, 40s, 60s, or 80s, can help you see the magnificence and usefulness of the complex seasons of your life.

Each new year gifted to us by the universe is replete with exciting and unfamiliar experiences. In our 20s, we can embrace the energy of youth and the learning process, knowing it’s okay to not have all the answers. As we move through our third decade, we grow more self-assured as the confusion of our young adulthood melts away. We can honor these years by putting aside our fears of aging and concentrating instead on solidifying our values and enjoying our growing emotional maturity. In our 40s, we become conscious of the wisdom we have attained through life experience and are blessed with the ability to put it to good use. We are not afraid to explore unfamiliar territory or to change. In our 50s, we tend to have successfully navigated our midlife reevaluations and have prioritized our lives. In the decades beyond, we discover a greater sense of freedom than we have ever known and can truly enjoy the memory of all we’ve seen and done.

Try to enjoy the age you are at now, for each age presents its own unique wisdom to savor.

Company Overview

Qivana offers a Health and Wellness system that is not matched by any other system. What we offer is a three (3) step system and I would like to take the opportunity to share it with you at this time. A wonderful opportunity to those that are not only interested in creating abundant health for oneself and those that we care about but it can also offer you a road to financial independence should you wish to pursue that avenue.

The system, as I stated above, incorporates the following steps in order to provide us with overall health benefits:

1) Stabelize through Qore™ Probiotic which was created to help replenish healthy bacteria in the gut with a unique and proprietary blend of probiotics, tiny organisms that help restore health and balance to the intestinal tract. Priobiotics are essentially the opposite of antibiotics and are often referred to as friendly or beneficial bacteria. The digestive system’s main role is to extract energy and nutrients from food. These functions are compromised, however, when there’s a lack of healthy intestinal bacteria. Some of the benefits* it provides would be that it: Assists in healthy digestion and nutrient absorption; Enhances the immune system and Helps maintain healthy levels of intestinal flora.

2) Vitalize - Once your body has been stabilized with Qore™ Probiotic, you can begin to strengthen and energize it with Qore™ Essentials, a daily blend of Asian herbs designed to help you reach your biogenetic potential. The Qore Essentials proprietary blend possesses a complementary set of ingredients. Throughout history, and in recent scientific studies, these ingredients have demonstrated similar and synergistic biological activities. Again some of the benefits* is would provide would be that it: Promotes energy and protects agains fatigue; helps your body maintain healthy cholestorol levels that are within a normal range; Supports a healthy liver and immune function, supports healthy cardiovascular function and maintains the metabolic functions of the body.

3) Optimize - In order to optimize the body’s performance, it’s necessary to routinely rid it of toxins and heavy metals ingested from tap water, produce and pollution. This requires a special chelating agent, a compound which binds to metals and drags them out of the body. That is why you need Qore™ Detox. Qivana’s Qore Detox contains Puratox™, an exclusive blend of natural products, with a scientifically-validated ability to rid your body of heavy metals, free radicals and toxins. Puratox is made with a unique, molecularly-modified citrus pectin (MCP), giving it the ability to be assimilated into the blood stream, bind to toxins and provide a deep cleansing of heavy metals. The Puratox blend also has QAI Certified Organic Kelp and Modified Alginate Complex that cleanses the digestive tract and helps prevent the reabsorption of toxins. These ingredients have been proven in numerous scientific studies on human subjects and offer a host of unique benefits as part of a health regimen. Once again the benefits* that are affiliated with the Optimization would be Detoxifies the body from heavy metals, radio-active elements, free radicals and toxins; Removes metals and toxins without depleting essential minerals;Functions at the cellular level and in the intestinal tract and Binds toxins to MCP to prevent reabsorption of harmful toxins.
