Can you do it?

Today, I'm going a bit of a different direction. I want to share with you a mantra that has been stuck in my head for 20+ years.

Can you do it?

Can you?

•   Lose Weight
•   Start a New Career
•   Start a New Life
•   Improve your Health
•   Make a Difference
•   Add your own here.

I grew up "knowing" I was invincible. I could do anything I set my mind to.  I was unstoppable.  If you told me I couldn't do I would be back very soon to show you how it could and had been done by ME!

Many times in my life I have set goals and achieved them.  Many times I have also failed to meet those goals. What was the difference? My attitude? Divine intervention? Sheer luck?

I've done a lot of evaluating my own life recently as I work toward MY place in this world and where I can MAKE A DIFFERENCE.  HOW can I make a difference.

If I go back to my roots, my first love, my first successes, I go back to a place where I helped others to achieve their goals, I coached & cheered along side those friends and relished in the victories we shared.

My goal today and forward is to get back to that time.  A place where I can help others to achieve their goals. A place where I can coach & cheer and take pride in their efforts and their successes.  

I ask you to join me in the journey!

If we can be a resource for you in your own journey for health, for lifestyle, for career income, for guidance please drop me a line and I will begin helping you make a difference too!  We don't expect people to know everything, that's why we offer training, coaching, & cheering on a regular basis as others are also on their own journey to a lifestyle that Makes a difference.

Are your vitamins "AS IS" or do they come with a Guarantee?

Are your vitamin supplements purchased AS IS or do they come with a 100% Money back guarantee?

My first opportunity to purchase my OWN car came in college.  A friend of mine went to help and insisted that I buy the white '89 Taurus SHO that was on the used car lot. "It's a GREAT deal" he said! "These cars are AWESOME" he also said.  So, I bought it, AS IS.  A month later it started developing signs of vapor lock. I'd be cruising down the highway or interstate and it would lock up and shut off.  I'd be stranded on the side of the road for half an hour or so while it would cool off and then it would run again.  I hated that car - it caused many a headache.

A couple of years later I bought my first NEW car (truck). It came with a warranty and any time anything went wrong I would take it in and the dealership would fix it. I much preferred the vehicle with the warranty.  They offered that warranty because they had faith in the product and that things would work for that designated time period.

How about your vitamin?  Does it come with a 100% money back guarantee? Can you return it for a full refund if it doesn't do what it should or you don't like it? Do you know how to evaluate and choose a bad vs good vs GREAT supplement?

There have been many stories and studies over the years revealing that some companies who sell vitamins at a very low cost have actually been for not. Findings have ranged from lead contamination of supplements to nutrient levels being far from what was claimed.

Your brand can make a difference. A recent study by the University of Berkeley, California called "The Landmark Study" showed significant differences in prevalence of disease when comparing non-users, users of  differing brands, and users of multiple supplements from Shaklee Corporation.

What's under your paint? Is Improper Nutrition Showing Thru?

Sad Blazer Hood needs repainted AGAIN

 My hubby's first attempt at automotive painting looked GREAT when he brought it home, however recently it has shown us the foundation was not properly prepared!

As a young adult, many of us abused our bodies and didn't care for them as we should. Nutrition wasn't a concern at that point.  Now that we are beginning to show a little age, the paint is beginning to peel away from weather changes & an improper foundation. (diet/nutrition)

Had the proper conditions been met, our dear mud vehicle would still look pretty & teal. Just like this beautiful Mustang being cared for - beautiful paint job & protection from the elements.

As far as our own bodies and paint jobs, is it too late to undo the damage we've already done?  The lack of proper nutrition or abuse that is the underlying factor of our current conditions.

Here are a few scientific facts that let us know its not too late.

• You build a trillion cells a day by what you eat.
• It takes 19 vitamins & minerals, and 9 amino acids with a perfect protein to build a perfect cell.
• Even if you miss one (1) nutrient, then you are building imperfect cells for 7 days.
• These defective cells will promote the development of degenerative diseases.
• YOU are the only one who can do something about it!

Thank you, 'Uncle Walt' Haste for keepin an eye out for us!

If you are ready to do something about it,
we would like to work with you!

Daily Driver Checklist (And new info!)

I was taught, early on, that it was important to check a few things before I drove my car each day.

Check the tire pressure, check the fuel gauge, check that no service lights came on.

Our HUMAN engines are the same. DAILY we need to provide a complete supplement, complete proteins, fibers, fats, etc. Many medical organizations are strongly recommending a daily maintenance supplement. (American Cancer Society, American Academy of Pediatrics, Linus Pauling Institute & others) Research says that 95% of Americans are NOT getting their servings of antioxidants on a daily basis. (fruits & veggies)

Our family chooses a daily maintenance plan referred to by many as the "Prescription for a Healthier Life". It provides for the building of healthy replacement cells and boosts our immune system to protect us from any exposure to potential illnesses. (Video is about 4 minutes)

Engine Running Rough

When we finished assembling the blazer engine, all looked good.  Everything was plugged in the right places. The truck had fuel, but when we started it up it ran SO rough! (The timing needed adjusting)




Sometimes, our HUMAN timing gets off a bit and we run a bit rough. Perhaps with a cold or something similar. With the school year starting here, and about to up north, we are making sure our tool box is ready so we can get our things adjusted and get back on the track as soon as possible.

Not really where I keep these. :-)

Our "tool box" may look a bit different than yours, but we find that our Human Engines runs much better with these products. We get side BENEFITS, instead of side effects.

When things don't go as planned.

We all know things don't always go as planned. We've crossed all the t's, dotted all the i's and yet, when we get to the track something goes wrong. Tonight, our neighbor is rebuilding his engine at the track and without a team.

Our bodies are the same, even though we are careful to follow the guidelines, its difficult to get those 7-9 servings of produce every day on our tight schedules. When our bodies don't receive the proper nutrition on a regular basis, then things begin to go wrong.  It may appear that we are ready for the race, until we pull up to stage and something fails.


I'd like to look at this scenario for the next few weeks.

Next week I will cover the Daily Driver Checklist.

The Crew Makes the difference!

John Force's Crew

Are you a one person operation or do you have a strong crew behind you?

When looking to build a new business, or even strengthen an existing business, many people think they can do it all alone. Some of them may be able to get it where they would like on their own, but then the job comes in maintaining that business all alone. Where does the income go if they need a vacation, a surgery, or to take an emergency leave of absence?

When my husband began drag racing, we worked together. Sure, he could change the drag slicks, adjust the shocks, empty the car of the tools and equipment needed in case of equipment failure, but if we work together, it took half the time.  When drivers move to the ranks of the pro’s they need a team of professionals to make it work. Can you imagine a top fuel driver or a funny car driver trying to rebuild the engine, pack the shoot, fill the tank, and be back on the track for the next heat, all alone? Of course not!

It’s the same in business. When we have a team working together we get there faster, and if we choose well, we have a lot more fun getting there. We each have different skills and strengths. When we work with people we like and whose skills compliment our own, our organizations and businesses grow much faster. So, potentially, does our income, our free time, and our enjoyment.

Don Naas @ Immokalee Regional Raceway May 6, 2011

I LOVE working with positive professionals who believe in working as a team and in building multiple and passive streams of income; contact me if you would like to see if our crew is a match for where you are looking to finish!
