If anyone is interested in taking a Mexican Riviera Cruise on Oct. 10, 2009 to support San Diego Ronald McDonald House Charities, please contact me. It's going to be rewarding to hand them a check after the cruise as well as receive 75% commission on the travel. I love being able to benefit others as well as myself.
We just came back from a Traverus Travel Company Cruise, and I was blown away by the quality of the people in the company, the leadership, the partnerships with 5CTV and Billy Campbell, from the Discovery Channel. So much more. The cross-training between groups - everything!

Amazing!
Have a great day!

Hi, My name is Anne-Marie Berukoff, teacher, entrepreneur, curriculum designer, professional network marketer, and a recent author of a new Mini-Program for Maxi-Profits. Using both pictures and words, it provides a 100% generic educational overview of one of the fastest growing home business trends, namely the network marketing industry. Its goal is information about how to make money through duplication as quickly and easily as possible. A unique revolutionary marketing strategy is introduced and enforced with a great visual symbol.

WHY is good education important? The home based business industry is exploding with all kinds of information and due diligence is mandatory. In the search for a home business, everyone wants to eliminate risks, minimize costs and maximize time and potential. The questions are basic. What works? What do I have to do? How much can I expect to make? Who will help me?

WHAT is needed and provided is a well researched program with a broad perspective about timely changes. It focuses on a home based industry based on “intellectual distribution” that is coming into its own in the modern Information Economy.
There are two steps in this program and the process is EDUCATE EMPOWER and CHANGE. The opposite simply doesn’t work (change first, then get empowered, now go out and educate). No curriculum can exist that way; and bringing new “dreamy-eyed” people into a business without proper foundational skills will only increase frustration and failure.

My motto is to show a democratic way for every person who wants a simple home business to have one. In conclusion, any decision for a profitable home based business is a serious process involving education, research, co-operation, mental mindsets and self-empowerment to live life on one’s own terms. Building a personal economy in the midst of an economic climate without personal control is a wise, safe and logical thing to do.

And since blogging on the internet has become quite a favorite way of marketing for Indie sellers, I'm sure many of us here could use better writing skills!

All the best to you. Add me as your friend when you get a chance.; ▶ Reply to This

I've stuck with it and met hundreds of wonderful, wonderful people. If I have a challenge I always have someone to go to who can assist me with it, and I in turn love helping people. Now I'm looking into the arena of internet marketing because I have a special product called Nitro FX which sets our company apart from others as no one else in marketing supplies it. As you age nitric oxide depletes, so we can raise those levels and help to experience a new level of wellness. I could explain a lot more, so please ask if you'd like to know. I am looking for other marketers who are looking for a new home, or who just want to share ideas to help one another out. Looking for other marketers who might want a new home, or to meet others who I can learn from.; ▶ Reply to This
