Having a Cow? Discover new ways to relieve stress, anxiety.

A doctor on his morning walk noticed an old lady sitting on her front step smoking
a cigar.   So he walked up to her and said, “I couldn’t help but notice how happy
you look! What is your secret ?”

“I smoke ten cigars a day,” she said.

“Before I go to bed, I smoke a nice big joint.  Apart from that, I drink a whole bottle of
Jack Daniels every week, and eat only junk food.  On weekends, I pop pills, get laid, and don’t exercise at all.”

“That is absolutely amazing! How old are you?”

“Thirty-four,” she replied!

So it feels to some like it’s all going to hell and right quick like too. So what are you doing to help yourself?

People tend to do 1 of 3 things…

1. They totally freak out and go off the deep end with worry, fear and sometimes something worse.
2. They do nothing… they are totally numb, feel helpless and have no idea how to help themselves.
3. They take action. At this point, almost any action is good action.

At this point taking action is a great thing. You may worry that you don’t know what action to take or worry more about what is the right action to take. Do something. It doesn’t even have to be big. Heck, taking ten deep breaths can bring a lot of clarity to a situation and it IS doing something. Going for a walk… taking a mini time out and drinking a glass of water….

Want something bigger to do? If it’s over financial stuff is it something you can change immediately or take action on or un-do? If the answer is no… if the money is gone, the job is lost, the account is dry, then you need to figure out something you can do. Have you considered an online business or being an entrepreneur of some kind? Having your own business can be a great thing. It can also be sooooo scary.

I have been in my own business for over 18 years now. I have had my own store front / brick and mortar biz locations in health and wellness and I grew up in a grocery store famly…4 generations strong when we sold it.

A few years ago I went online to catch the golden ring to instant riches and fortune. I lost thousands upon thousands due to my stupidity, naievety, and just wanting to get rich quick. I now buy a lotto ticket to cure that itch.

So, what did I eventually learn? I learned that as in all businesses, it is important to learn the business from the ground up and have the basics down or work with someone who is willing to teach you and work with you.  I was on a skype chat with a new business I just joined and was amazed at the diversity of people on there. They were from all over the world and all walks of life. I mentioned something about advertising and immediately had a slew of questions. I mentioned emailing my list and they said what did you send them. I offered to give them my 2 most recent emails and you would have thought that they were made of gold. And then I realized that not everyone is out there to help each other and everyone else. And these people were where I was before I lost thousands. I want to help them so that they don’t have to go through that. I am committed to helping people. And it was amazing… the thanks I got for sharing, the gratitude, the wow, I didn’t know what to do to get started. Thankfully with this new company, they have a treasure trove of info and trainng in their back office. It is more that really worth the $75 cost to join. And the training and support they are doing everyday…wow, that is what a newbie needs online. I am glad to be a part of it now. I want to help.

So I guess the most important thing to do now is…take action….some kind of action…

Breath

I tried another one a few months ago as I am always looking for new opportunities. I would not recommend it. Not all are created equal and I am sooo picky about what I recommend. The one above is one I have thoroughly checked and I love it. This one is one that I have been investigating, looking at their trainings, going to their webinars, hanging out in their skype room etc. and it is amazing what they are doing for the newbies and the team leaders alike. Wow! And for your $75 you will not only get tons of training you will also get leads auto-loaded into your own autoresponder with messages pre-written or you can write your own each month…another wow….and another great thing for someone just starting out…wow!

So look around, take action, do something. Doing nothing doesn’t usually make you feel any better.
