Dr. Mehmet Oz - Surgeon, Author, TV Personality & Family Man

August 23rd, 2008 admin Posted in Home Based Business | No Comments »

Well as home based businesses (can be a Internet Oil Well) goes I have always believed in MLM’s / Network Marketing but never really worked it as a profession, but I Success Magazine - Dr. Oz - America's Doctorhave joined a number of them because I loved their product and or service, and wanted to support the person working the business. I have even made some small checks doing so. With the economy on the downturn and layoffs on the increase Home Based Businesses are cooking, and so is Network Marketing and MLM’s, and if you are NOT in one you should seriously consider a finding one you can get excited about and work it like a dog to make a second income!

One I have looked at very close is endorsed by the famous Dr. Mehmet Oz, better known as Dr. Oz. and “America’s Doctor”. I am not really sure how he became so famous but it seems most people have heard of him, which is a good thing for the MLM he endorses, Vemma!

Dr. Oz is a vice chair of surgery at Columbia University and an author of over 350 original publications, book chapters, abstracts and books. He has received many patents and is also the health expert of The Oprah Winfrey Show and Oprah is launching “The Doctor Oz Show” next year!

So it is very rare to have a MLM with a person that gets this much press and is so well known to endorse their product line. Vemma also has a deal with the Phoenix Suns, they are signed up in the organization, and sell the product at the stadium where the team plays! This a a 1st!!!

Which is ultimately what caught my interest in the company. It turns out a long time friend and mentor Jim Brogan, who has taught and coached my kids in basketball and life skills, is the one who got the Phoenix Suns involved in Vemma and their healthy energy drink Verve. He introduced me to their product and I have been taking it for about 4 months now and I love it! My kids love it and my 17 year old son just signed up to become a distributor!

Bottom line is if you are into health and want to make some money with a company that has BIG time names & organizations endorsing the product AND giving the product incredible credibility, which ultimately sells the prodcut for you. Vemma is a great company that is exploding and I believe they have what it takes to be another Billion dollar MLM. For more info please visit my site http://www.myvemma.com/gregwriter.

Your comments are welcome. Have a fantastic day.

10 Tips for Spending Less and Living Better

July 28th, 2008 admin Posted in Financial Advice | 1 Comment »

 

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR BUDGET

Balancing your checkbook and monitoring your credit-card bills every month will help you determine exactly what you are spending. By bringing attention to your spending, you will start to see patterns and begin to set priorities. One priority should be putting money into savings, no matter how modest the amount. Even taking the loose change out of your pockets each day and putting it into a piggy bank can make a difference.

 

SHOPPING WITH A LIST

You can avoid impulse buying when you use a shopping list especially when grocery shopping. Take time each week to go through your pantry and fridge to determine what you need based on what meals you plan to prepare, what’s on sale and in season..

 

PAY WITH CASH

Money magazine cites a study of supermarket receipts showing that shoppers with credit cards spend an average of 30 percent more than those who use cash, largely on purchases of nonessential items. Consumer’s pay less attention to what they’re buying when they use credit. Another study showed that when college students used cash at their campus bookstore, they could recall what they spent 68 percent of the time, versus 35 percent for students who used credit.

 

RESIST BUYING IN BULK

It’s tempting to think you’ll get a better deal if you buy a whole crate of peaches or an entire case of cough syrup. But if the food spoils faster than you can eat it, or the "use by" date passes on medicine before it’s used up, you’ve wasted money. Be realistic about what you’ll use and keep your volume purchases to paper towels, trash bags, diapers and detergent.

 

BRING YOUR LUNCH

"Price of Food is very high right now and that’s reflected in restaurant prices, plus there is a huge markup on prepared foods," said Mike Russo, consumer advocate for the California Public Interest Research Group. You can save money on food by making your own lunch and in turn you save gas by not driving to a restaurant. This is also an opportunity to eat a healthier diet since you can control the amount of mayonnaise on your chicken sandwich and cheese on your salad. For a little variety, have an occasional office sandwich swap or potluck.

 

ENTERTAIN YOURSELF

Exchange books, music and DVD’s with friends or trade them on the internet via member sites such as paperbackswap.com. The public library does not just offer books, movies and DVDs; it also offers a wealth of events and activities including lectures, film series and exhibits. Check out your local parks and recreation centers for free or nominally priced programs, classes and activities for seniors, singles, children and families.

 

SLOW DOWN

The U.S. Department estimates that each 5 miles per hour above 60 mph that drivers go costs them an additional 30 cents per gallon of gas. Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned, refrain from constant braking and accelerating, eliminate extra cargo in the car and remove roof racks and other aerodynamic drags. (A roof rack can make your car 2 percent to 3 percent less efficient.)

 

TURN ON THE TIMER

Install a programmable thermostat set to heat or cool your house only when you need it and cut your energy bill by 10 percent to 20 percent, according to the Energy Department. Replace your old incandescent light bulbs with more efficient compact fluorescent ones and put the lamps on timers. Connect your entertainment center and/or computer workstation to a smart power strip. Energy-saving power strips cut power to all devices on the strip, so every time you power down your workstation, you shut down your monitor, printer, scanner and so on.

 

MAXIMIZE YOUR INTEREST

Review your savings account with your banker to insure that you are getting the highest interest rate possible. As your savings build, consider transferring the money into relatively short-term certificates of deposit, which can generate a steady stream of interest income until the stock and bond markets improve. If you are paying high interest rates on your credit cards, call the card issuer and try to negotiate a lower rate. Some issuers would rather lower the rate than lose a reliable customer. Jennifer Delcamp Wallis, author of "Get Out of Debt and Stay Out of Debt,’ offers tips for renegotiating a credit-card rate at betterbudgeting.com.

 

DON’T PANIC

Get help if your bills are stacking up and you are having trouble making your mortgage payments. There are nonprofit counseling agencies to assist homeowners. Start by calling the Homeownership Preservation Foundation’s hotline at (888) 995-HOPE or go to the Website 995hope.or for more information. Counselors will work with callers to help come up with a plan, which may include contacting mortgage companies to work out more favorable loan terms or monthly payments. The foundation partners with community-based nonprofit organizations, callers may be referred to a local counseling agency for more personal help.
