Debunking the Myths and Asking Different Questions

This has been an amazing week. Talk about a great start to the month.

I've helped 3 people order products to help them invest in their health.  These products will help them feel better, and thus be able to go and do more and live life to the fullest.  That's my goal!

When these 3 people placed their orders, I helped them get $10 in FREE PRODUCT.  I also showed them how they can get as many FREE BOXES of wraps or as many $35 FREE product credits that their little hearts desire.  I love free stuff -- who doesn't? -- and am so excited to help these 3 people get a great deal!  Did I mention I helped them save 45% on their orders too?!  Well, I did.  Pretty much LOVE my "job!"

I've also helped 2 ladies join the It Works family.  I will be working with them now, training and mentoring them, teaching them everything they need to know to be successful with their businesses.  I will show them the "Steps to Success" and run with them towards a $10,000 bonus that is available to them.  They could have that bonus by June 31!  I am so delighted to have the honor and privilege of helping these mamas help their families. Together, we are going to change the world - one person, one wrap at a time!

This morning I earned a $100 bonus just for helping my new team mates get off to a great start.  Gotta love getting paid just for helping someone!  Have I mentioned how much I like my "job?"

Maybe you hear all this and think, "That's great for you.  I could never do that..."  Well, I am hear to tell you, "Yes YOU can!!"  If I can do this, anyone can!!!

So often I hear the same "reasons" from people as to why they can't join or don't think they can be successful.  I get asked the same questions over and over again.  I thought I would compile those and debunk these myths and help you ask different questions, better questions.

Myth #1: I don't have time.

We all have 24 hours in a day.  We all have 7 days in a week.  We all have 4 weeks a month.  We all have 12 months a year.  We all have the same amount of time.  And that time passes no matter what we are doing.  It passes pretty quickly, actually.  Time seems to fly by at lightning speed.  You blink and your kids are graduating from high school and unpacking in their college dorm room.  You blink again and they're walking down the aisle getting married to their best friend.  You blink once more and you're a grandparent.  And in all that time that has passed you haven't done a single thing to change your life.  Not really.  It's just how it happens.  Sad, but true.

If you want something to change, if you want your life to be different, you have to do something about it. You can't just do the same thing over and over and over again.  If you want to have more time with your kids before they're grown and gone, you're going to have to do something to make that happen.  If you want to be able to go on family vacations and create memories with your loved ones, you're going to have to do something to make that happen.  If you want to retire and travel the world, you're going to have to do something to make that happen.  If you want to start a charity of your own or contribute to one that you admire or support others in their endeavors to make the world a better place, you're going to have to do something to make that happen.

And here's the kicker -- you need to do that something NOW.  If you wait until you have time, you're going to be waiting your whole life.  Then, before you know it, your kids are going to be all grown up and you didn't get to spend the time with them that you wanted, you didn't get to take those vacations, you didn't get to make those memories, you didn't get to travel the world, you didn't get to start your own charity or contribute to one or support others as they set out to make a difference in the lives of those around them.  You flat out missed out.  The time passed, as it always does and always will.

So you see, you DO have the time.  You have to decide what to do with the time you have.  Take a good hard look at your life.  How much time do you spend on Facebook?  Play any Candy Crush or Pet Saga?  What about video games?  Watch TV?  Surf the Net?  Not saying we can't take time to veg or relax at the end of a busy day.  But what if you put that time towards building a business that will change your life?  What if you spent that time NOW so that you could stay home with your kiddos and take family vacations whenever you wanted (like many of my fellow It Works distributors are able to do)?  What if you invested that time NOW so you can build a legacy for your children and their children and their children?  I may be biased, but I am thinking that is a better use of your time...

And please keep in mind I am saying all of this as a mom of three young girls (ages 4, 2, and 3 months).  I run an in-home daycare and take care of three more precious kiddos (ages 2, 11 months, and 6 months).  So that's 6 kiddos under the age of 4.  I'm busy.  I also make supper, clean the house, do laundry, and all those other household chores we all have to do whether we want to or not.  My husband and I are part of a Small Group.  He plays volleyball once a week.  We have a Bible study at our house on Sunday evenings with 25+ middle school kids.  We have a life, a busy one.  And yet, here I am having the time - MAKING the time - to run a successful business so that someday soon, very soon, we can have MORE time together as a family and do MORE things together and make some pretty amazing memories in the process.

As I said, you DO have the time.  You need to decide how to use the time you have.  Like Gandolf asked Frodo in the Lord of the Rings, "What are you going to do with the time you've been given?"

That brings us to Myth #2: I don't have the money. 

This one is a bit harder.  You honestly might not have the money.  You might be living paycheck to paycheck.  You might not have a penny to spare.  BUT, most of us do have the money or a way to get the money.  $99 to start your own business is really a pretty good deal.  Go ask any "traditional" business owner how much they spent to start their restaurant or salon or store of any kind.  I am 99% sure they invested more than $99 to get started on fulfilling their life dream.

Even though $99 is a heck of a deal, that is grocery money or gas money or your child's gymnastic class tuition or your car payment or a medical bill or some other financial responsibility you can't avoid.  I get that.  Again, take a good hard look at your life.  Is there anywhere, anywhere at all, that you could cut out spending and save $99 over the next month?  Make your own coffee instead of paying Starbucks to do it for you.  Skip the afternoon can of pop.  Pack your lunch instead of eating out.  Stay home for supper rather than heading to a restaurant.  Paint your own nails.  Pass on the new pair of shoes since you have several pairs in your closet that fit just fine.  Learn how to cut your husband's hair so the barber doesn't have to.  Swap babysitting with your friends so you can go on a date with your spouse without paying for childcare.  I don't know what your situation is, so I don't know exactly what you could cut out and where you could save a buck or two.  Every penny counts.  What I do know, though, is this -- if you WANT something bad enough, you will find the money for it.

I also know this -- you WILL make your $99 back, in your first month.  If you follow the very simple Steps to Success that I will show you, you will not only make your money back in 30 days, but you could also make over $800 in cash!  I haven't taken a math class since my junior year of high school, which is more years ago than I care to admit, BUT I do know that making $800 in your first month MORE than covers that $99 you will spend to start your business.  And again, I invite you to go talk with any "traditional" business owner and ask them how long it took for them to start making money.  For most business owners, they are told to expect not to make an actual profit for the first 5 years.  FIVE YEARS.  And here I am telling you that you are going to at least make your money back, with the possibility of making over $800 in profit your FIRST MONTH!  Once again, I might be biased, but I am thinking that is a pretty good use of $99.

And if you are one of those people who truly does not have any way to scrounge up $99, you have still have some options.  First, you get 4 wraps in your Business Builder Kit.  Go ask 4 friends if they will pre-pay for a wrap and once your kit comes in you will wrap them up (they get a good deal too since they will tighten, tone, and firm in just 45 minutes).  They each pay you $30 for a wrap, so you will have $120 cash.  Use it to start your business.  Second option, in case you somehow don't have 4 friends who would be willing to help you out, ask your parents or someone who knows and trusts you to lend you the money.  When you sell your wraps for $30 and make $120, you pay them the $99 back and keep the remaining cash as profit.  Third option and to be used only in the most dire of circumstances, use a credit card (instead of debit) to pay for the kit.  Sell the wraps, make $120, and pay off that bill as soon as you get it in the mail.  Either way, you will MORE than make your money back.

Well, I hope I have debunked those two myths for ya.  Now, for those questions I get asked all the time.

Question #1: What if I fail?        

How about you ask this question instead: What if I succeed?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Much better outlook.

Question #2: What if I can't do this?    

How about this: What if you CAN?      

Again, keep your perspective positive.  Imagine the possibilities.  This could totally change your life.  If you let it.  If you take that chance...

Question #3: What if I'm not any good at selling stuff?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              What if you ARE better than you think?   

Don't sell yourself short.  AND you don't have to sell anything, not really.  We have products that everyone wants.  Seriously, we live in a world where people want to look their best and they want results immediately.  Okay, here's a wrap.  Tighten, tone, and firm in as little as 45 minutes.  Mix up these greens in juice or water or a smoothie and get 8+ servings of organic, non-GMO fruits and veggies PLUS probiotics to boost your immune system.  You'll have energy for the day AND you got excellent nutrition.  We have a host of supplements to help people feel good from the inside out.  We have an entire line of natural skin care products that will help people look younger and feel better about themselves.  We truly have something for everyone.  AND the products we offer are affordable and easy to use, not to mention kind of fun too.

I had a team mate tell me the other day she couldn't "sell water in a desert," but here she is a successful It Works distributor working on earning a $10,000 bonus!

So, good news -- you don't have to be good at selling stuff.  Our products sell themselves.

Well, there you have it.
2 myths debunked.  So no more excuses.  
3 questions that shouldn't even cross your mind turned into 3 great questions you SHOULD be asking yourself every day.

I can talk until I turn blue in the face.  That's not going to do any good unless YOU make the decision to do this, to give it a try, to see what could happen if you believe in yourself.  You won't be alone -- I'll be with you every step of the way, helping you get started, showing you how to be successful. And then, when you're ready to let go of my hand, I will still be there to cheer you on and celebrate with you as you continue your amazing journey!

One After Another After Another After Another After Another...

I could go on, but I think you get the idea!

Well, maybe I should mention what exactly I'm talking about.  That might be a little helpful. :)

Every day I hear a new testimony from a real life person about how It Works is changing his/her life.  I hear how the products are helping them get and stay healthy.  I hear how the business is helping them pay off debt and own their time so they can go and do more and give more.  Seriously, every single day I hear from someone else who is benefiting from our products and our company.  It can't be a coincidence.  It can't be an accident.  It can't be a rare case or a once-in-awhile situation.  It's happening every.single.day.  Over and over and over and over and over again.

Don't take my word for it, though.  Listen to what these real life people have to say about how the It Works natural health products are changing their lives:

Jill Lewis-Kingery shares, "My family of 6 hasn't been sick for a year now.  We're on Greens and Vitals."

Lauren Lysell talks about what our skincare did for her, "Pregnancy and post baby hormones weren't too kind on my skin, and the It Works skincare cleared it right up!"

Tina Gregory Hernadez chimes in, "Hair Skin Nails undoes the affects of chemo...LOVE."

Sheena Berry exclaims, "I'm down 85 pounds thanks to Thermofit!"

Vicki Lam Arnold writes, "When I started on the Greens, I was using a cane to walk!  I was in horrible pain and couldn't breathe well.  My asthma was way out of control and my blood pressure was way into stroke stage!  Nothing seemed to be going right in my body!  9 months later, I'm no longer using a cane!  My asthma meds are history and my blood pressure is perfectly normal!  Thank you, It Works, for making all the different in my life!!!"

Amy Keenum has a great story too, "I have a bad knee...2 surgeries later I still had pain!  As I wait for the next choices to be made, I take Relief every day!  I am pain free 90% of the time!  With 4 kids to chase after, I have no time to be down!!  I love Relief...it saved me!"

Jennifer Griffen Worcester reports, "My husband will not touch veggies and would run the other way if I tried to push it on him.  He now uses Greens every day.  It is not supposed to be a replacement, but it is something.  I love veggies, but I am the only one in my family to eat them so they normally go bad.  Now, I get both my fresh veggies and my Greens.  Plus, my son loves his "Hulk juice." :)  It Works has brought a healthier lifestyle to my house."

Brandie Mayden tells about the Greens Chew, "I love to snack on them, and they fill me up so I'm not hungry all the time."

Holly Zeugin is excited because of the Regular, "No more IBS for this girl!"

Samantha Kimberly Francisco had to think about what her favorite product is, "Really can't pick just 1, but Greens is pretty high on my list.  Confianza too.  No more meds for fibromyalgia or ADD.  This is one happy mama!  Have to thank It Works for giving me the will to change my life."

Haley Olson reports, "Thanks to Confianza, I was able to get off Effexor, which made me feel like crud and gave me massive migraines!  My husband also take it to help with his ADD.  It has been a life saver for our family!"

Edith Cordero-Jorsch couldn't pick just one product to share about, "I love Vital Core Nutrition, Greens Chew, New You, Fat Fighters, Defining Gel, Confianza as needed...need I go on?  I sleep better; my hair was thinning due to stress between my son having 4 surgeries in one year and surgery for myself.  We haven't gotten sick - just a sniffel.  My husband's energy and strength increased at the gym.  I'm down 34 pounds and my husband is down 40 pounds.  Thank you, It Works!"

Theresa Marino raves about the Greens, "Pulled me out of postpartum depression after having my son in September. Started Greens in November and became happy again, energetic, and looked forward to each day instead of wanting to take my life.  I have never felt better!"

Donna Hillman-Hill adds this about the Greens, "We all use to be sick often.  Any bug came along, we had it.  And now...nothing. Everyone around us is sick, but not us!"

Amy Carslon Howard says, "Thermofit is my favorite.  I was getting chest pains from anxiety at work.  I'm calm now. And the eye cream and facials have done WONDERS for my mom!!!  Oh my, it almost makes me want to cry!  Awesome stuff!"

Felicia Hutcheson Warden talks about how It Works has helped her, "I am no longer taking any medications for MS thanks to Greens."

Sandra Aguilar Kilgas adds, "I have not had any allergies/sinus infections in months, except when I have missed taking the Greens for several days in a row."

Krsiten Greider  happily shares, "I would have to say Greens are my favorite.  Because of them I finally got pregnant after 7 years of trying.  I took the Greens for only one month and I was beyond surprised, elated, overjoyed beyond belief. Because of this company and the amazing products, I was able to be what I have always wanted to be - a mama!"

Kristina Weeks agrees, "Of course the Greens are awesome.  I have colitis and it is a life saver!  But I love my Thermofit!  Started taking it more for energy to get through my night shifts, but lost my extra weight!!  20 pounds in around 2 months!  With no real exercise or diet changes!"

Brenda Vancamp is delighted about what the Greens are doing for her daughter, "I would like to shout out a testimony of my daughter.  She began the Greens to get healthy.  Little did she know that she would need to buy some new clothes in as little as two months.  She has dropped 2 pant sizes and this past weekend for the first time since she was a teenager, she was able to shop in the "normal" size clothing stores rather than the "plus size" stores!  These are awesome results from taking the Greens only...nothing else and basically not changing a whole lot in her eating habits!!  I'm so proud of her...not because she is losing weight (which is great) but because she wants to be healthy!  I love It Works products!!!"

Rhonda Marie has this to say, "I love all the products!  I went from a size 12 to size 5 with wraps and Fat Fighters!  Also couldn't get pregnant for 2 years, but after I started the Greens everyday, I was pregnant in just a couple months!  Amazing!!"

Jenice Lewis-Elley confirms, "Greens are my favorite.  They have improved my eye sight and my dad's who has Parkinsons and diabetes. My last eye exam, my doctor was shocked that my eye sight was better and my dad's doctor was shocked that he no longer needs a shot in one of his eyes.  I also love Regular.  By taking Regular I was able to kick my synthetic prescription meds for my IBS to the curb.  AND Regular has balanced me where I never have any flare ups or attacks of my IBS!"

As I sit here, typing these testimonies, I am in tears!!!  So many people's lives are being changed, for the better.  And from so many different products, too.

Maybe you can relate to someone's story I shared.  Maybe It Works natural health products could help you too.  Maybe they could change your life.
