YE is Here!

They say all things work together for good, however during times of exacting challenge and general uncertainty the good can be very hard to see. . .

Last year thru a series of unfortunate events I ended up living in an extremely small town -- which I call ItsyBitsyVille! Geographically the town isn't small at all, so there's plenty of area to bumble around and see nature in her inhabited glory. Yet the population is less than 44,000 which is small considering my point of reference is the San Francisco Bay Area! Now, besides being in need of some extensive physical therapy and other urgent medical care, I found myself in the precarious position of needing to generate income without truly being able to 'go to work' -- passive income was the order of the day!

I joined a couple of ad-sharing social sites and during the course of building my online social persona I met the leading network builder for the 6dgr social network! This man recruited nearly 2500 people in less than 6 weeks, which earned him several $1000 paychecks plus a few undisclosed bonuses! Since I have never been able to be 'sold' on anything [shopping has never been a sport for me] I found myself quite incapable of seeing recruitment as something I could do successfully. Nevertheless, I followed some of my mentor's tips and made some snazzy flyers as part of my campaign. I hit all the usual spots: Welfare office, unemployment office, public library, community college, etc. looking to find people that obviously could use some easy money making opportunities. That's when I met Pastor John Edwards!

One day in the public library I saw a gentleman playing chess as I was passing out flyers to young people. It was my thought that the 18 - 25 year old crowd would be eager to make some money social networking because almost all of them were in the library networking online anyway -- nothing could have been further from the truth! Anyway. . . Pastor John asked me what was that I had and after looking at the flyer he stated, "I'm a MLM junkie!" Smiling I said that's good but this isn't MLM which didn't even register with him!

Pastor John has an outgoing, smiling and exceedingly boisterous personality, yet he knows how to approach people in a way that catches their interest which is exactly what I needed to learn! During those first few months Pastor John taught me how to recruit 10 to 15 people a day: park my laptop at all free wi-fi spots, including the library, and simply tell people to sign up to make free money! I was sooooo hesitant to 'tell' people this was a good thing for them, I usually asked them if they networked online and then said they could make money doing so and gave them a flyer! Even when I amped it up a notch my presentation was pitiful compared to what I learned from Pastor John! Just when things were looking promising and we began to approach groups, such as churches and community centers, I began experiencing excruciating lower back pain and extreme limited mobility which led to quite a few trips to the ER. . .

Fortunately Pastor John has continued his search for viable income opportunites. Everyone that knows me is aware that I'm a Certified Health Consultant and Pastor John was already interested in health care products due to having been diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. So, as I began a 4.5 month intense physical therapy program Pastor John has explored and become a champion of Qivana [http://pastorjohn.myqivana.com]. I wrote an article about Qivana as an income opportunity earlier in the year when some friends introduced me to the concept. You can read it here: Your Chance To Own A Piece of the Next Google!

Pastor John has been actually taking the products: a sublingual crystalline powdered total body 'system' enhancer and a small probiotic capsule which addresses the digestive system. I can say without reservation that he is certainly LOOKING much healthier than when he was only taking allopathic medicine (insulin and high blood pressure meds)! The best part of what Pastor John is promoting is the fact that anyone with health problems or loved ones with health problems can benefit from using the products AND joining Qivana: once you recruit just 2 people, you make $200.00!

As Your Expert research, review and recommendation resource for income opportunities, allow me to introduce you to Pastor John Edwards and his Qivana website so that you can order your free sample AND look at the business model for yourself!

Take it from me, when you choose to join Qivana after trying the products, Pastor John is the BEST coach and mentor you can find that will walk you thru the business process with an upbeat and encouraging style! Which is, at the end of the day, All GOOD!

WHAT IF THERE WAS A WAY TO EAT YOUR CAKE AND HAVE IT TOO?

We have all heard this saying over the years. According to Wikopedia, this saying means “To have one's cake and eat it too or simply have one's cake and eat it (sometimes eat one's cake and have it too) is the instance of an individual consuming, exhausting, taking advantage of or using up a particular thing and, then, after that thing is gone or no longer reasonably available, still attempting to benefit from or use it.” Generally this is a negative staying. But what if I told you there is a way to consume something and benefit from that same something.

I know it’s hard to believe, but what if there were such a program? Wouldn’t you want to take advantage of it?

Let’s look at all the household items you use every month. Things like laundry soap, fabric softener, glass cleaner, and dish soap. I think it is safe to say that the average family spends from $50.00 to $175.00 a month on these items. So, you ask, how do I get these double benefits just from cleaning my house?

It gets even better. You can also get this benefit for losing weight and even having some snacks.

Dr. Robin, you ask, how can this be? When I buy something the only benefits I get is the enjoyment or weight loss or a clean house. When those products are gone they are gone and so is my the money I spent on them. SO what in the world are you talking about?

Ok here is the answer. The Government and the IRS have stated that if you are an associate, distributor or IBO (independent business owner) for a network marketing company, and that company requires you to purchase a certain amount of product to stay qualified (often referred to as autoship) to receive your commissions, the amount of those purchases is a business expense, even if you use these products yourself.

Even though I have had this verified by several attorneys and tax specialists, as always check with your own attorney or tax expert.

Here’s how it works. If company M says you have to get 70 points (BV, CV, etc) to maintain your position in the company and be eligible for commissions. The cost is $85.00 to obtain those 70 points. Then the $85.00 worth of products that Company M required you to purchase is tax deductable as a business expense. This deduction applies even if you use these products yourself in your own home. If you joined Company M, the benefits would be as follows:

1. Business expense of $85.00 (tax write off)

2. You stay qualified for your commission checks

3. You get use dollars you are currently spending to clean your house, lose weight, or just have some great snacks (redirection of funds, that is no increase in spending) to stay active in Company M.

4. You now have another stream of income (commissions from Company M) and you can potentially make enough in commissions to pay for the products!

This can apply to any number of companies and lots of different products. If you would like more information on how this can work for you, contact me at drblindguy@gmail.com

What are you waiting for? No increase in spending and you get a clean house or to drop off pounds or get some great snacks. Plus you get the tax benefit. Wow what are you waiting for? Start saving money today!
