The Wisdom of Hot Chocolate
Friday, February 20, 2009
Passing of a friend. Is there a story for you?
I am thinking about my best friend Gary today. A couple of weeks ago he was up from St. George and sat with his uncle Lon as he passed away with cancer. Very traumatic. He had to go back to work and missed the funeral. His uncle Jerry spoke and I know he would have loved his talk. I found out many new things about Lon I was never aware of. He was a builder of homes. He would build a home and live in it while he built another home and then move into the new home and so on and so on. I met Lon many years ago when I was about 16. He built the home next to my parents in Salt Lake. It was an investment home. Lon didn't know he would die a long, excruciatingly painful death with cancer. He was just like you and me, living his life. I bet he was not aware of antioxidants, nor did he take them.
Gary called me this morning to let me know that he got a call about his Uncle Bill and that he had passed away. He was also at Lon's funeral. He had a heart attack. They were in their 70's. Many would say that they had lived a long and full life and it was their time to go. I am pushing 60 and I want you young people to know that I feel no different today than I did at 18. From my side of my eyes, I look out and see opportunities to fully enjoy the rest of my life. You never, as I see it and as it has been related to me by very old people just prior to death, feel different. Sure, you can't do some things you used to be able to do. If you keep a young mind by being adventurous and having goals and dreams for your future, you can always enjoy more life. It is when our body fails and we get sick and are in pain and lose functions that people start to give up. Sam Clements used to say that if he had known he was going to live this long he would have taken better care of himself. We should all take note of that and start today, taking better care of ourselves. I bet Uncle Bill didn't know he should be taking selenium and absorbable calcium.
Gary's call was hard for him. He is feeling his mortality. His Uncle Jerry, the one that spoke at Lon's funeral, is the oldest in his family line and then comes Gary. He has younger cousins but he is one step away from being the patriarch of the Vombaur genealogy. His comment to me was that he is quitting smoking this weekend. I wish he had said he is quitting smoking now, because then it would have led me to believe he had a better chance of success. Smoking is very hard to quit but it can be done if you make a decision to "Never smoke again!" Just one more will end your quest. I love Gary like a brother and hope it works for him. I know that smoking is a big health hazard. I have family members that I long to see quit the habit. I know it can be done. When I was young I smoked 3 packs a day during the week and 5 each on Friday through Sunday. I quit the day I caught my two young boys imitating me with their crayons. I knew it was bad and I did not want to be the influence that would cause them such pain. It half worked. I know it is possible. The odds are against you and it requires real determination, but it can be done. I wonder if Gary knows that Plant Derived Minerals help reduce cravings. I will have to let him know about that.
Think this over. Put your own name in the headline. What do you need to find out to make your life longer? What should you do to make your health better. My own dad passed away on April 1st, 2005 . That was a horrible April Fools trick on me. He was an incredible father and a great example of a man of integrity. I knew about our products for 3 years prior to his death. I talked about them with him until he finally said that his friends the doctors were the last word on his diabetes. He would not take supplements because they cost money. Lack of money was not his problem it was lack of belief. I am confident that he would be alive today if he had done as I asked. I know our products have saved my life twice. I also know that the only way you will know what they would do for you is to try them. I can't make you any promises and the government requires that the last word you will hear as you go out of this life will probably be your doctor's voice.
Sorry about the soap box. But, this is a subject I feel strongly about. On a lighter note. I ran into a cool clock the other day. It is a statistics clock and I would like to share it with you.http://www.poodwaddle.com/worldclock.swf You will find every statistic from soup to nuts. Check out the death reasons. See if you think you want to make a change in your life.
I love you all. Have a great day! Wes

Today's Prospecting (friendshipping) Example
My point in telling this story is obvious. All you have to do to create business and meet potential distributors is be friendly. Meet people with a smile. This is not cold call selling. This is just being friendly and making new friends. If it leads to business so much the better for them and for you. When you meet this new person your foremost thought should not be how much can I sell her. It should be what can I do to benefit her life? I'm sure Misty and I both had a mutual feeling of friendship. Telling her about the TRU Chocolate did not detract from that, because I found a need she had. I told her about something that would fill her need for more money. The way to learn how to do this is next time you are out and about in a store, look over your options for checkout lanes and look for someone who is smiling, not just for the shortest line. Get in behind that person. Smile back. Find something to talk about. I like to use FORM. The acronym FORM stands for family, occupation, recreation and money. Pick one topic that seems appropriate and just start a conversation. Try very hard to find something in this persons life that TRU Chocolate will benefit. Now, once you know how it will benefit her and make her life better; could even be her only way to financial freedom, to better health, to saving a marriage, to losing that weight that has ruined her life, try not to tell her about it. If you put yourself in the place of your new friend and knowing how it will change her life and don't tell her about it, you will not feel fear of speaking but you will fill the guilt of not telling her. When you do tell her, help her feel how this product will change her life and make her feel it and you will seal your friendship forever. It's amazing how much more open people are to telling their true problems, emotions and joys to a pure stranger. Think Forest Gump on the bench.
Please do this. It's not just about the money you will make. It's about changing the world one person, most likely even a family, at a time.
Have a great day! Wes

Do you know anyone, that knows anyone, who knows
You know, it could go on and on and on. It's called 6 degrees of separation. If you know someone who knows someone you don't know ~ if 6 generations pass and if you had a computer to track it; you could be 6 people away from anyone in the world. To make this work you have to ask for a referral! Just like Facebook, hmm.
I hear every day ~ I have told everyone, I don't know anyone, everyone I know is poor, this is a rough economy. I say, it's a bunch of proverbial hooey. If two or three times a day you ask the simple question, "Who do you know that likes chocolate?" you will find people that like chocolate and who also know someone, you don't know, who needs our product. I promise ~ very few people will take a swing at you for asking that question. If they do, we don't want them any way. Don't get all detailed and sell the car by explaining how the engine works. Just ask if they like chocolate. When they say, they do; well, give them a piece of TRU Chocolate and a drink of water. Wait for the Wow! Not tough at all!
I was doing some stuff this morning and was watching a bit of Hoda and Kathie Lee on NBC TV. They said something that really caught my attention. “Just about everyone craves either chocolate or something salty and crunchy.” That piece told me we are on the right track with our TRU Chocolate. They were all about not eating too much chocolate because it's full of sugar and fattening. TRU Chocolate isn't and it tastes great! So we ought to find at least 50% of the people we talk to that will listen. Following it up, I googled Hoda and Kathie Lee chocolate. There were thousands of hits. Do you think they spend all that money on researching what people want to hear about and talk about things no one cares about? No! It seems that chocolate is a big hit in their show. Hoda is the chocolate lover and Kathie Lee likes salty. Funny, you can't tell by looking at them, you would have to ask to find out who likes what. 50/50 odds.
Money! This is a rough economy! People say it like it's news. Truth is, most of the people that say it haven't been effected. Utah has 3.4% unemployment rate in 2008. 1.35 million people had jobs in 2008 and about 47,000 didn't. Unemployment is up a bit since then but there are people that still have money to buy a product they want. An Internet guru I follow is Frank Kern. He says, and I agree, that people will buy what they want! So, do people want TRU Chocolate or do they want to lose weight? Do they want TRU Chocolate or do they want to earn a part-time, could be, full time income? Do they want TRU Chocolate because they love chocolate or do they want to love a chocolate that loves them back? By that I mean, it tastes great, has no sugar, full of antioxidants and herbs that curb their appetite.
So, the next issue, who can afford the price? Stop and add it up, people are overweight; how do they get thin? Have you ever heard of infomercials for exercise equipment and stores crammed to the rafters with weights and machines? What about cooking books and special diets that cost money? How about programs that help you learn how to eat and track your progress? How about fat farms? What about personal trainers? What about gyms and health clubs? How about the time spent on all these programs? I don't want you to think that these are bad things. In fact they are very good things but they are not free. Nobody expects them to be cheep or free. They cost big bucks and people pay. Frank Kern recently put out a video that talked about this issue of cost of product. He said that he flys a lot. Weekly he is going somewhere in the country or the world. He always flys first class and first class is always full. Even today in this economy. Why is it full? Is it the extra three inches in the seat bottom or the extra leg room? Is it the slightly better, bad airline food? Not on your life! It’s because the people who fly first class, fly first class because they can! Those, 26 or so seats, every flight could pay for a new BMW. There are people out there who will buy TRU Chocolate because they can. Many of those people are looking for residual income. You have to know that people with money depend on making money and this makes money. These people will see the value. Value is what it is all about. If you are interested in losing weight, or getting healthy or making residual income, TRU Chocolate has value. Where are you prospecting?
Consider this, "Can we agree there is an Obesity Problem?
USA Obesity Rates Reach Epidemic Proportions
- 58 Million Overweight;
- 40 Million Obese;
- 3 Million morbidly Obese
- Eight out of 10 over 25' Overweight
- 78% of Americans not meeting basic activity level recommendations
- 25% completely Sedentary
- 76% increase in Type II diabetes in adults 30-40 yrs old since 1990
Obesity effects our health and our cost is in lives and huge dollar costs for medical and missed work. Most of all heart ache for family and the person involved. Many people will agree there is a problem but won't take the action required to fix the weight issue. What if they can make money and fix the problem? Would that make a difference? I had a problem with my grandson all morning on Saturday. We were together for the baptism of his brother Tanner. Four year old Tyler ignored me all morning. It came time to take pictures. There was a particular picture we really wanted to take. All of us were cajoling him to come and be in the picture. At his young age when I said, "Tyler, I will give you a nickel if you come be in the picture." He came right over, no more arguing. He wanted it now, but I told him, "After the picture." He smiled so big for the picture, I think it would be a great fit for Gerber. My point isn't that we should bribe our grand kids but did he want the picture or did he want the nickel? Do we want to sell chocolate to our friends or do we want them to get healthy, share our opportunity and become financially independent and make us a little money. We don't want to bribe people but the truth is money makes the world go round. How many of you would go to work tomorrow if you knew you weren't going to be paid? If you would go, how long would you keep going, for no money?
So I guess we can agree, chocolate is good and TRU Chocolate is better. Healthy is good and better if we can help others get healthy. Money is good and it is better, like J. Paul Getty said to earn 1% from 100 people than 100% from ourselves. Most people let it go at that but what if we take it to where we really want it and earn 1% from 100,000 people. We will all be happy and healthy. I guess you could call it a bribe but I prefer calling it a fair income, if we can all do the same thing. Millions of millionaires, what a thought and all of us healthy.
Have a great day! Wes

Fresh Lemon Grass and Cancer Cells
Fresh Lemon Grass Drink Causes Apoptosis to Cancer Cells
************************************************************
Fresh lemon grass fields in Israel become Mecca for cancer patients By Allison Kaplan Sommer April 02, 2006
Citral is the key component that gives the lemony aroma and taste in several herbal plants such as lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), melissa (Melissa officinalis) and verbena (Verbena officinalis.)
Why does it work? Nobody knows for certain, but the BGU scientists have a theory. 'In each cell in our body, there is a genetic program which causes programmed cell death. When something goes wrong, the cells divide with no control and become cancer cells. In normal cells, when the cell discovers that the control system is not operating correctly - for example, when it recognizes that a cell contains faulty genetic material following cell division - it triggers cell death,' explains Weinstein. 'This research may explain the medical benefit of these herbs.'
The success of their research led them to the conclusion that herbs containing citral may be consumed as a preventative measure against certain cancerous cells. As they learned of the BGU findings in the press, many physicians in Israel began to believe that while the research certainly needed to be explored further, in the meantime it would be advisable for their patients, who were looking for any possible tool to fight their condition, to try to harness the cancer-destroying properties of citral.
That's why Zabidov's farm - the only major grower of fresh lemon grass in Israel - has become a pilgrimage destination for these patients. Luckily, they found themselves in sympathetic hands. Zabidov greets visitors with a large kettle of aromatic lemon grass tea, a plate of cookies, and a supportive attitude. 'My father died of cancer, and my wife's sister died young because of cancer,' said Zabidov. 'So I understand what they are dealing with. And I may not know anything about medicine, but I'm a good listener. And so they tell me about their expensive painful treatments and what they've been through. I would never tell them to stop being treated, but it's great that they are exploring alternatives and drinking the lemon grass tea as well.'
On a trip to Europe in the mid-80s, he began to become interested in herbs. Israel, at the time, was nothing like the trend-conscious cuisine-oriented country it is today, and the only spices being grown commercially were basics like parsley, dill, and coriander. Wandering in the Paris market, looking at the variety of herbs and spices, Zabidov realized that there was a great export potential in this niche. He brought samples back home with him, 'which was technically illegal,' he says with a guilty smile, to see how they would grow in his desert greenhouses. Soon, he was growing basil, oregano, tarragon, chives, sage, marjoram and melissa, and mint just to name a few.
He also felt a responsibility to know what to tell his customers about its use. 'When I realized what was happening, I picked up the phone and called Dr. Weinstein at Ben-Gurion University, because these people were asking me exactly the best way to consume the citral. He said to put the loose grass in hot water, and drink about eight glasses each day.
