3 SECONDS TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION WITH THE RIGHT TRADE SHOW DISPLAY October 21, 2006

3 Seconds To Make An Impression With Your Trade Show Display, Here’s 4 Ways To Make It Count

 

   Trade shows represent great opportunities for promoting your business.  Those are real powerful marketing tools for you to better develop your business.  The most efficient secret in promoting your business’ image is to know how to choose the right trade show display.  Why?  In a trade show, we can value all of the customers senses and especially the visual one, which is the easiest to stimulate and the one which can capture and transfer a big amount of information.

  Why is the design of the trade show display so important?  Now put yourself for a minute in your customers place: you have a few hours to visit the whole trade show, you look at each trade show booth for a few seconds and then you move forward.  In those couple of seconds they will decide whether they will take a closer look of if they are going to pass along.  The trade show display can be considered the icing of the cake.  Not the most important one, but surely the one that makes the cake more enticing. 

   The trade show display is the visual element of your business, this tells who you are, what you do and what matters for you in the business.  Its main objective is to make the customers stop, use it as tool for attracting the customers.  Your Brand essence is translated into the trade show display, though it represents much more than that visual level.  It is the most accessible, for the exhibitor and customer as well.

    If you will follow some basic rules in the capitalization at a visual level of your brand, you will hopefully get the customers attention for more than a couple of seconds, even if they planned it or not. 

Rule number 1: Make sure that your lettering is visible, big enough and easily to be read from a distance.  That will allow it to be seen and to individualize your trade show booth.  It must be placed on the upper half of your display, in case people who stand in front won’t block it to be seen.

Rule number 2: The main colors of the trade show display will be the ones that represent the company.  Any respectful company has a color code, which is certain colors, certain combinations of these colors, certain rules of matching the colors.  The trade show booth, the materials used for the exhibit must use as a dominant color the company’s colors.  The colors are usually bright, and appealing to the eye.

Rule number 3: Your signage should contain key elements in the design in order to be more appealing for the customers.  You should make sure that the lettering can be well perceived from its surroundings, so it is better if placed on a plain background.

   Also, you can use colored letters for your display show, if you want to obtain an impression of larger lettering, placed of course, on a black background.  Another method of capturing the attention on your business’ key words would be to use a secondary color for them only, and this way having a bigger impact and power of retention on the customers minds.

Rule number 4: Always use lights!  Lights can sometimes turn a ordinary trade show display into a special one, by placing cool lights on all of your panels.  This way you can have a celebration effect and your signing and panel messages can be “on the spotlight”.  You will see, it’s  like having a butterfly attracted by the light of a bulb..

   Following these very simple rules can help you being more visible and easier to be identified in a Trade Show from many other Trade Show Booths.  Your Brand, his unique meaning and the things that your business can offer mean more than a visual identity, though, only by a well designed Trade Show Display you can make people know more about it and actually learn about how your business can offer them the things they search in a Trade Show.

1. Chanukah

   Chanukah, the Jewish festival of rededication , or The Festival of Lights, is one of the best known Jewish holidays , also because it is placed near Christmas . The story of Chanukah begins with the revolt lead by Mattathias and his son , Judah Maccabee during Antiochus IV period , against the assimilation of the Hellenistic Jews and oppression by the Selucid Greek government . The revolt happened and the Temple was rededicated .

   The tradition says that at the time of the rededication , there was only one bottle of oil that had not been defiled by the Greeks . This oil was used to light the Menorah in The Temple . The  Menorah was meant to burn for eight days , but the oil was not enough . Through a divine miracle, it burned for the entire eight days , giving time to the Maccabees to prepare fresh oil .

   So the Chanukah celebrates the miracle of oil , and the light of the Menorah , which lasted for 8 days .

   Being a family holiday and an occasion for sharing precious moments  with the people you love , it is also the time to give gifts . And what gift should you offer but the gift of Alexandrite rings or Design Jewelry , which can symbolize the lights of The Menorah through its wonderful brightness and purity ?

     The very first Mother’s Day celebration can be found back in ancient Greece , as spring celebration in the honor of Rhea, the Mother of Gods . in the 1600’s, England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday “ , and it was an occasion for servants who worked the entire year on other’s properties to come home and spend time with their mothers .

   Julia Ward Howe suggested in 1872 a Mother’s Day in the United States as a day dedicated to peace . But the one who helped to officially establish the Mother’s Day as Anna Jarvis, from Philadelphia , who begun a whole national campaign for it . She succeeded in 1914 , when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother’s Day as a national holiday that was to be held on the second Sunday of May .

   Today , we celebrate Mother’s Day for all those reasons above and the best way to show our mothers how much we owe them  , we try to symbolize our feelings through a gift . But what gift can gather all of our feelings ..?

   We would like to tell our mother that we are grateful because we exist, that we owe her the people we are today and that we appreciate that she has always been by our side , giving us unconditioned love .

   We can gather all of those feelings in a small , but valuable gift : The gift of Akoya Pearls  . These pearls can show your mother how unique she is and that she is the symbol of fertility and unconditioned love . Alexandrite earrings are also a special gift , that your mother will surely appreciate and every time she will wear them she will remember the special bond he has with her child , even though you are not by her side .

Facing Depression Head On

Always feeling under the weather? Always not in the mood to be around others and have a good time? If you’re suffering from prolonged sadness for quite some time now, you should face these bouts of depression and get yourself diagnosed by a psychiatrist, they’re doctors who can actually help you out with your problem.

Depression or prolonged sadness is actually quite common in the United States, around 9.5 percent of the American population actually suffer from this illness, however, not all of them get to be treated, thus, depression and its ill-effects continue to be a burden to some individuals. This illness may seem quite simple to treat but in reality, it takes more than a little cheering up to actually cure depression. Constant visits to a cognitive behavior therapist is a must as well as taking all the prescribed medicines that the doctor will ask the patient to take – none of these exactly come cheap, but the amount of suffering that a person is going through because of depression is enough reason already for others to start taking notice and face depression head on.

 Depression oftentimes can easily get in the way of an individual’s daily activities and his or her’s normal functions, one’s zest for life can quickly and easily dissipate due to depression. And in place of an individual’s sunny disposition is more or less a person who hates his or herself, having no self-confidence, trying to isolate one’s self from the world and basically just not caring about living any more. More so, a person suffering from depression isn’t the only one who’s going to suffer from this destructive illness, his or her loved ones are sure to follow suit. By seeing the individual grow through such rough patches, basically not caring about anything or anyone anymore, it’s highly likely that not only will depression one’s relationship with one’s self but with his or her loved ones too.

Fortunately depression can now be cured, especially when diagnosed early, depressed individuals can actually be treated through therapy and medication, although it may be a bit costly, a person’s good mental health is something that shouldn’t be scrimped on. Cognitive behavioral talk or interpersonal talk are just some of the available psychosocial treatments that cognitive behavior therapists can offer to their patients, both actually prove to be able to produce fruitful and positive results.

Still, people tend to not recognize depression even it’s right before their eyes, being honest with one’s self is key to being able to cure such an illness. Never overlook the various symptoms, depressed individuals oftentimes exhibit uncharacteristic behaviors such as suddenly lacking interest in one’s hobbies (or other stuff that he or she usually enjoys), sleeps too much or actually aren’t able to get some shut-eye, suddenly becoming anti-social, talks a lot about death or being a worthless person. There are actually a lot more other symptoms but in case these already fit in your category or of someone that you know of, go to a reputable psychiatrist at once in order to see if the depression is still at an early stage or not. From here you’ll be able to assess how the treatments will actually go.

Depression shouldn’t be something that people fear of, instead, people should just start taking charge of their lives and actually face this illness and fight it. Life is too beautiful a gift to waste and if one will spend the majority of his or her life just moping around about every single little thing then what kind of life would that be? Depression may not kill one’s body but it’ll certainly kills one’s spirit if you’ll let it. Don’t be a victim.

Depression Can Chain Your Spirit

  
If you always feel down and you do not want to be around other people, connect with them, share their happiness , if you always feel sad , it is better that you take the situation in your own hands before you lose it and go consult a psychiatrist . He probably is  the best person who can get you out of this mood .

   Depression is an illness that affects much more people than we would like to believe , even children, and not many of them actually proceed in getting proper counseling and treatment . For example, in the US, around 9.5% of the people suffer from this psychic affection . For the ones who are not familiarized with the concept of this illness , depression seems just a sad period in someone’s life . A little joke will not cure it , because it’s a real burgeon for the people affected by it .

   The treatment for depression is a complex one and it involves regular visits to the psychiatrist combined with a special medication  prescribed by the doctor , all at the right price , of course . But no price is too high when you suffer so much , and the only thing to do is to face up this awful illness.

   The regular activities or even normal habits of the affected individual are disturbed in such manner that he/she will can lose even their desire for life . The individual feels sad most of the time , has no self esteem, self confidence and he/she tries even to cut all human contacts trough a severe isolation .

   Depression affects all the people who try to understand the  ill person, because the complexity of this illness is not that easy to understand , and they can cease under the pressure or even quit trying to help .But modern times once again helps us in the battle with this illness and provide the people in need proper therapy ( a cognitive behavioral talk or interpersonal talk ) and medication . , which can produce successful results .

   The first step in the cure of depression is recognizing that you have a problem ; then you can do something about it . The symptoms can be different from one individual to another , and can also have various levels of intensity ( a sudden lack of interest for a once loved hobby , too much sleep , insomnia, anti-social behavior ) .If you are aware of one of this symptoms you should help the person in need or help yourself by setting an appointment to a psychiatrist and stop the depression get serious by counseling and treatment .

   We should not let depression get us , instead we should act in order to prevent it or cure it , and get on with our lives  because life it’s too short and beautiful to let it pass along us . Don’t let nothing upset you in such manner that you chain your spirit by depression , because it is a long way back to become free again .  

TRANSCRIPTIONS October 21, 2006

ELLIE DRAKE

 -          KIM ROSE:  Good morning, this is Kim Rose with MLM Secrets for Women , and today ladies, we’ve got Ellie Drake . Ellie is a keener speaker and successful entrepreneur , she’s the CEO of Brave hart Productions , and she is the woman who is just really inspired us by all that she’s done . She speaks from the core of her soul and inspires her audiences , audiences that she has taught about the American Dream, the land of liberty and free enterprise  .  Ellie can make you laugh, cry , as she motivates us and share the importance of living a passionate, up filling and balanced life . She’s been in the work marketing as a top income earner, and as a result she was able to share what she does and what it works and why does it work . She was a full-time doctor and managed to awful build this phenomenal carrier in this industry and now she’s inspiring others to do . So today I’m really excited to have E with us . E are you there ?-          ELLIE DRAKE : I am here .-          KIM : Thank you so much for joining us .-          ELLIE : Absolutely , thank you for having me , Kim .-          KIM : Thank you , you know listeners , OK, let’s just start this briefly because I love the fact that you’re really the poster person , the picture of the image of the American dream . Can you just kind of showing us briefly what the American dream means to you and why ?-          ELLIE :Absolutely, absolutely . You know, I came to America 15 years ago and I always said I came to America with a light load and a lofty dream , because I remember walking  to the airport as I noticed that I was coming to this zone of unknown holding a very small suitcase in my hand . And I knew that I had a lofty dream and I always say that a light load and a lofty dream is what we require in life and  in business , because we can’t get up every morning if we are not aware of what’s going on within us , than we come to carry this huge load that gets in the way of momentum . And it’s an emotional load . And so , you know, the American dream means a lot to me , because it was my opportunity to come to this country from a very repressed country and so I know that whatever my dreams and passions and desires were on the inside that I had the choice to pursue my dreams . And I still believe in the principle that says when you are pointing a finger at someone, there’s tree fingers pointing right back at you  because in this country and in this industry , if I don’t allow myself to be successful , then that’s only me that’s getting in the way . And I really realized that as long as I allowed myself  to be committed, consistent and passionate than I’ll be get up every day and say what am I gonna do today ?                   That will assist me to take that one step in the direction of my goal and the direction of the purpose that I know I was born to accomplish . How can I receive today , how can I contribute today ? How can I push myself beyond my imaginary limits and boundaries and what can I do today just one thing, just today , what can I do that will make me feel good about accomplishing results in my life , and that kind of principle with that kind of consistency has allowed me to come to this country with what I call a very heavy accent, a really bad grammar, really little resources and as a matter of fact , as I speak I’m sure the listeners will pick up this underline 7/11 accent that I have kept still .                    And so I say, you know, what am I gonna do and how am I ever gone push myself today, and yet still have challenges in my life and I’ll have circumstances but you know they’re only excuses . If the dream is big enough , and you actually mentioned , Kim, that I was a full time practicing doctor , I actually graduated as a healthcare professional , a 16000 $ in student loan debt and I actually decided to do network marketing direct sales , a home-based industry instead of practicing as a doctor .-          KIM : Wow, so , when I hear that , I’m thinking your parents must have been what, I mean what are they thinking ?-          ELLIE :You know, it’s a very interesting question , my parents have said : “ E, when we will take you to America you’re gonna become a doctor, cause we’re gonna make all the sacrifices , we’ll gonna work really hard , you’re gonna become a doctor , and then the fact you know , of just being a doctor .-          KIM : And once you decided not to be a practicing physician I mean , that had to be difficult for them, I would think, for the average parents it would be ?-          ELLIE :Kim, I’m here .-          KIM : That’s OK.-          ELLIE : So repeat ..-          KIM : I was thinking for the average parent that would be difficult , their daughter coming to this country , they have high hopes , a physicianist , you know, a highly regarded professionist and she walks in and says after all this hard work I’m gonna be in a home –based business industry .. That had to been a shock .-          ELLIE : Absolutely, it was a very big shock . As a matter of fact they said :” E , we thought you were smart, E, we brought you to America , you’re a doctor you wanna do what instead ? “ Than I remembered I heard in this industry , people that love you, they love you and they want to protect you , but they’re not within you and you got to realize that you have one life to live and if you live it correctly once is enough .-          KIM :I love that , I love that . You found yourself in this home based business industry where unfortunately many people don’t succeed but you come here and you, just a sort of speech , burn it up . You bring the passion that you have to this country and you just create some amazing things, and one of the things that you are talking about is the art of connecting . And you know, we hear in this industry that relationships are everything . Yet, what does it really mean , the art of connecting as at related to this business ?-          ELLIE : OK, it’s also a very good question , Kim, what have you just asked me about what my parents had thought . You have to connect with the reason that is bigger than you in order for you to nurish your certainty and I always say when your certainty far exceeds the world , that will always follow you . And, when I first told my parents, you know, they said that’s crazy, but I remember once again because of what I heard in this industry that you only live once, and if you live it correctly according to your passions and desires can be not enough but you can make a difference in the world as well . So , I said to my parents, you know, I’m connected with this reason, and I’m gonna stay truth to this reason and I remember when I came back and they finally saw the 2000, 3000, 4000 $ per month checks , oh “ you’re so smart “ , we’re trying to take credits for my accomplishments , that’s just fine too . But to connect with the reason , was the reason why I call emotional vitality in this industry because we come to have motivation which is fine , motivation in the brain , but motivation can also have a tendency to bring only about what I call emotional or sugar high radar . But inspiration is inside of you and when you connect with that inspiration , than you’re inspired . and in  the words of Emerson , he said “ Who you are thunders so loudly I can’t hear what you say “ . So when you connect with a reason that inspires you that level of inspiration will then transferring subliminally to your prospects on the world . That’s the first stage in connecting . Are you intro connected or are you just driving to be inter connected , and that’s inter connected, that’s it .  Let me just connect with my prospects because that’s all I have to do . Well in addition to that, you also have to be intra-connected ; it’s not what you say , that’s the most important thing , it’s how you feel when you say what you say , that’s even more important .  -          KIM : Wow, so that what the speech shows. It reminds me of the attraction when you say, it’s the feeling that’s behind it . So why is the feeling as important or even more important to what you just said ?-          ELLIE : Well , you imagine an aisberg, Kim . The top of the aisberg can be what we say, the content , the words , but if you look, you see the top of the aisberg, out of the water, but underneath the water , where you can’t see that’s the bigger foundation upon which the tip is created . So the foundation is within us . It’s within us at a subconscious level . What I say is important , what I say to my prospects, “ Let’s get your business started ! “What club would you like to join ? What kind of credit card would you like to use ? You know, are you in , are you out, all of that . And what’s beyond it, if I’m saying Let’s go and get your business started , but then I have a feeling on the inside or the voices on the inside are saying something like  “ But I don’t deserve this “ or “ Oh. Don’t join because if you join how am I supposed to lead you , I haven’t made any money yet “ or “ What if you join and you don’t become successful the burden of failing it’s gonna become something I am not able to handle ? “ .     And so those voices on the inside then infuse, get infused, into our emotional psychological voice which then catters to the pattern in our prospects or it catters to the potential in our prospects .- KIM : You know, let’;s talk a little more time on that.. about the potential in our prospects . What do you mean by that ?-          ELLIE :You know, when I speak with you , Kim, and you’re hearing what I’m saying , there’s something that’s going on within me but that you feel at a subconscious level also . And. You know, they’re many emotions that we can tap in to the emotions such as guilt, and fear and doubt and emotions such as undecideness, un  anxiousness but there are emotions such as decide ness and eagerness and willingness within us and peace and joy and all of that . So, my job than becomes “ Am I aware to manage my own emotions because you are going to be resonated with the emotions that come from within us . In other words, my emotion would be activating your own emotions , but the ones that resonate with the ones that I am feeling . So, if I’m feeling doubt and then I tell you “ Let’s get your business started !” I’m gonna be activate the doubt within you .-          KIM :  Oh, I get that, I love that . It was an A-HA moment for me as well ..-          ELLIE : Very good, very good ..-          KIM : So, how does one , sort of speak, quiet those voices, or do you quiet them ? How do you work to get that inner connection so you can have that inner vibration with someone else ?-          ELLIE : OK .The first thing you have to do is you got to be opened to the process of change . So often we are so afraid of change because we get overwhelmed by the thought of change and I’ll tell you what’s the meaning of being overwhelmed . We get overwhelmed when our external life , the external situations in our life can no longer be supported by that internal map of reality . , that’s no longer relevant to who we are today .-          KIM : Oh..-          ELLIE : That’s the meaning of being overwhelmed . And the reason why we are resistant to change is because we subconsciously we say what if we change , than what’s gonna happen to the people in my life , are they still gonna like me ? Am I gonna end up lonely ? What about the responsibility of success? And we don’t realize that the truth is , the absolute  truth is that not everyone will celebrate your empowerment . -          KIM : That now I’m hearing in my mind and probably other women are saying “ What?” I mean that’s hard to believe or embrace, you know, we understand the work of other people, everybody’s happy for your success, but you wanna believe in this industry , people’s always gonna be happy for your success or empowered by it and you say so !-          ELLIE : I’m saying that on a conscious level , not necessary so, maybe at a subconscious level that’s a pattern we all have . Then if I become successful I may end up lonely. , because they may not be happy because I’m stretching other people when I grow . It could be my son, it could be my partner, could be my family , could be my friend, my neighbors , it doesn’t matter .So the subconscieous  pattern that we all have and what happens is we subconsciously once again , this is all subconsciously, , we are thinking  that is happening without us being aware of it happening . For instance, your heart is beating every Day, but you don’t have to know the details of what’s happening , it’s happening.          OK, so it’s subconscious and so it happens that we have a tendency to negotiate our own empowerment or negotiate our own higher potential so the fact that we don’t want to stretch other people or to possibly make them intimidated is a subconscious pattern so what I do for daily basis is that subconscious program is running , the thought of who I am then , want to step forward upper cross me we’ll get overwhelmed easily, I’ll make one call and then the prospect will say thery’re not ready on our goal , so I wouldn’t do it any more, I’ll do it tomorrow , that’s all I have to say here ..-          KIM : Wow !-          ELLIE : Because we’re overwhelmed once again the inner map of reality is kicking in ..Kim, when you and me first got on this call , I didn’t think this will going to turn into an intense conversation..-          KIM : Yeah..So, go ahead..-          ELLIE : That’s OK, but even if you look at it to change it just for a little bit and I heard that your audience is mostly women ..-          KIM : Absolutely .-          ELLIE : To really look at it , you know, I have things that I call unleashing to brave heart women on the inside .All about  brave heart women and Brave heart Productions it’s all about reality , being humble on the inside and bold on the outside . But, thou I’ll tell you  , we have a tendency especially as women to be humble on the inside , but than we are not bold on the outside because we equate boldness with assessments  . And for any other people that get to know me they get to realize that I’m not am aggressive person at all . Yet I am humble on the inside and bold on the outside because I realized a long time ago that if I weren’t bold in a way I actually bringing my ego into the equation . Because if I’m not bold and go for what I want , then in a way I’m saying I’m not gonna ask for what I want ; because I’m gonna be humble on the inside , they should just join me for that, or if I’m bold and then they tell me no, than I’m gonna look for situations to be offended  by , and then I’m gonna say “ You know what, I think I’m resilient enough and strong enough to realize that which does not kill me will only make me stronger .”So then I realized that a while I’m gonna practice humility on the inside and boldness on the outside . And I started building my business, and I was one of the people to going and become successful over night , I wanted to be , but I had to learn something..after a few years I started having tremendous success with what I was , you know , creating a multiple figure income, very successful,  thousands of people in my team , never practiced as a doctor. I was able to really be able to receive and give at the same time , and as I mentioned here, because as women, we had to be closed off receiving . We just think that we have a program within because it’s selfish to receive, I just got to give, give, give .Or if you’re thinking about when you’re alone filling your own cup , how can you overflow to give ?       When you’re sitting on a plane that you say God forbid to have any challenges , you’ll put on your oxygen mask first and then put it on your child ?       So make sure is not about being selfish, is about being or self centered , it’s about being centered in self. It’s about standing in the gravity of who you are , knowing that you’re alluded and grounded enough to be able to be unchangeable and unshakeable on the inside , yet flexible on the outside . And si when I started realizing that ‘s what I’m gonna do and I started opening myself to receiving and then opening myself up to giving . On my web site BRAVEWOMEN .COM you’ll see that on that we have so many things, for instance I have pictures of the kids I’m supporting right now in Peru, and Brave heart Education Center , things that  really describe perhaps a portion of what I do in foreign contribution , but, Kimmy, we would not have all that if I didn’t allowed myself to be bold and go forward and ask for what I want , it would not had allowed me to do that when I started realizing what that boldness or what money that could bring and how I can make a difference in the world . I said to myself who am I to get in the way of that ?      I’m gonna get up earlier in the morning , I’m gonna stay later at night, I’m going to take more notes, I’m going to take more rejections and not look for situations to be offended by, because if this is what success boldness and money can bring , then I’ll get out on my own way … I got a husband with 260 pounds and always hungry . As a matter of fact, he’s from NY and he’s so hungry he eats the G at the end of STARVING .. He eats the G at the end of starving . He always says I’m starving, I’m starving .. He eats the G at the end of starving he’s so hungry . And I have a 4 and ½ years friend pet , he requires my attention all the time but if you come at my office at about 8,30 or 9 o’clock in the night you’ll see that he’s under my desk with his  Spiderman pillow and on a blanket , and my foot is usually on his hip , rocking him to sleep , and I can be on a conference with 200 people . So, there are no excuses when the dream is big enough ; you can be channeling your pain into pleasure, channel your circumstances into opportunity . -          KIM : I love that, I love that ..As I know for some women they’re  juggling , we’re juggling, they got children .. I don’t have a full life, but I admire women who have their own children , families, nephews, jobs and they juggle with .. I love when you talk about knowing your ride is big enough, you’re bold enough to move forward-          ELLIE : That’s right..-          KIM : When you made the decision, when you look at that, what was the A-HA moment for you ? When you said THIS IS IT, WHATEVER IT TAKES, I’M GOING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN what was the A-HA moment and what have you learn from it ?-          ELLIE : Now I’m gonna share  2 stories with you no.1 is about when I started my professional school this is like the last 4 years of becoming a doctor and I’m sitting in class  one day , I was in my 20’s or something and there was a gentleman sitting in front of me, on the row in front of me ,and he was in his late 30’s and had 4 kids and he started a little  bit later then the rest of us ; another person sitting next to me said “ My God, do you know that when we go home we have 4-5 hours to study what we’ve learned otherwise we will not pass our classes ? “ And all the sudden I got overwhelmed by I knew it by I still got overwhelmed just hearing it again . And then the gentleman in front who had a few kids , came to school to become a doctor said “  Well so what You know, I have y now ? “to get a job 30-40 hours a week if I don’t do this ,so I’m just gonna act as if  I’m  my own boss and I’ll study instead .” And then , some other day, I was sitting in class and instructor came in and all of the students in their mid 20’s or 30’s and there is a gentleman in the class who is in his mid 50’s .He was starting the professional school to become a doctor and the instructor says “ Excuse me sir,You, why now ? And he says something like “ It’s not now when, it’s not me who” and there he went to say” 5 years from now I will be here anyway so I might as well do something so that when I look back I could be celebrating versus explaining .-          KIM : Wow..-          ELLIE : So then  that stayed with  me and I entered this industry what my father  told me also stayed with me;because  when I first landed in America we were driving from Miami to  Fort Lauderdale … and I haven’t seen my dad for  almost 2 years and I thought he’s gonna have some surprises for me haven’t seen me for some while and he pulled over on the side of the highway, turned around, looked in my eyes with his eyes full of tears and said “ E I just want you to look back at the bridge that you just crossed I want you to burn that bridge because in spite of all the challenges you may go through you have just entered the country where if you have a dream and you’re willing to be committed and persistent you will achieve them in this land of opportunity . Putting all of those stories together I said to myself listen : “ 2   years from now I will be here ; 7 years from now I will be here ; I could be sitting in my office as a doctor practicing all day which is fine , but  is still exchanging time for money knowing that the bigger my practice got the more would own me , having to deal with insurance companies or I can do what these people are doing . I heard in this industry 2 things that assisted me as well they said “ Ignorance  on fire is a whole lot  more productive  than knowledge on ice “ and the second thing that they said is , of course, ‘ That which will not kill you will only make you stronger “, go ahead and strengthen Your rejection motto and then be coachable  so I do follow that and if other people have done it than I can do it . I’m just going to be coachable and teachable so one of my biggest assets even up to this point as a generic speaker in the industry is I’m coachable if you say something to me or in front of me or you share something and it is in harmony with my integrity I woun’t question it I’ll say listen you ‘ve done a work for you ,  good for you, I admire you , I won’t criticize myself for the fact that I’m not there yet and I ‘m gonna learn something from you today cause I too believe that God’s greatest gift to all of us is other people who have done what we wanna do .-          KIM : Hm.. -          ELLIE : So that they can show us the way…we are coachable, absolutely . Absolutely, as long as we are coachable we can go in that direction Kim -          KIM : We talked about the tip of the aisberg in only 15 % of success in network marketing .And the rest is the foundation . What are some of the other elements that make out that foundation ?-          ELLIE : You know, one thing I want you to consider as you’re listening to this call is this : where are you coming from I assume you’re building your business , you’re looking in to get involved in the business , where are you coming from on a daily basis when you built your business ? From the bottom , when it comes  to our thinking  I’m gonna work my way up until the top . Do you come from I NEED TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN , cause if you come from I NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN , you’re coming from a place that only is pro viable which is the essence of surviving only or wanting to survive only as lack . If you come from a place a little higher up , the place of I HAVE TO ,you come from a  feeling and energy , as subliminal message of security; if you come from I WANT TO , you come from social game ; who comes from I CHOOSE TO you come from self-development ; if you come from I LOVE TO , you come from self-realization ; if you come from the ultimate, which as I am  CALLED TO you come from inspiration . Now that level of inspiration is the bottom level that I need to and I got to make this happen and this is aspiration . And according to whether you’re inspired or you’re desperate you’ll be attracting to yourself people , circumstances and situations that will fulfill who you are on the inside to begin with .And so that’s the bottom of ice, that’s the foundation . So first you got to become aware of what am I gonna be thinking on a daily basis cause your thoughts are creating your feeling and your feelings are creating your reality . So what am I thinking , where am I coming from and can I go forward, can I go toward I CHOOSE TO, I LOVE TO it’s not a CAN I it’s a WILL I ? Am I gonna allow myself to have the courage that I require to go forward and the essence of courage , the essence of courage is not a guarantee .                 Essence of courage is trust, can I trust and you know I always say this principle to myself which contributes to the bottom of this foundation , it contributes to your certainty ,to my certainty and when your certainty far exceeds the world,s  doubts that’s when they’re gonna follow you .And so what I say is how  I’m gonna  do it is non of my business , all I know is I’m going to begin , I’m gonna jump and develop my wings on the way down , there’s  a little analogy as the mother eagle told the baby eagle : and the mother eagle told the baby eagle “ Go ahead and fly , you can fly ,you’re the best at it “ and the baby eagle that hasn’t fly before yet “ I haven’t flown before “ the baby eagle said “ But I’m afraid “ and the mother eagle said “ Go ahead, you can fly, “ and the baby eagle said “ I’m afraid “ and the mother eagle wondered “ Why is it that the thrill of flowing comes with the fear of falling ?” And that is so important in life the thrill of flowing comes with the fear of falling but the trick is not to take the fear of falling and make it a label of your identity . To realize that is there and we all feel that , to feel the fear trust and go on anyway .And as you experience the thrill of flowing than the fear of falling becomes more and more insignificant. What it requires is that you have the courage and the trust to go forward today and you know what ? only focus on today , cause tomorrow hasn’t happened yet ; today is all we have so what can I do today that will allow me, how can I trust today ? And you know what , trust today that raises my vibration , my energy, it raises my certainty and remember again , “who you are thunders so loudly I can’t hear what you say “ .-KIM :  I love that ..if a woman is listening to this call now : “ OK, E, I’m gonna try and I wanna build that foundation and get to the place where I’m called   to”, what would you tell her she should do ? right after she listens to this call ?-          ELLIE : OK, you know, once again I’m going back to that coach ability I truly  believe Kim that the one thing  because of me be coachable I would of gone in my own way probably over 1000 times already . I would of said it’s not working , I can’t flow , I can’t make it , the money you should of have them yesterday, all those expectations would gone in my own way and I remember the coach ability factor , the fact that I live in 2 cities , the fact that I read books , the fact that I listened conference calls such as this and I always say IMAGINE A BALL OF GLUE ; you stick your hands in the ball of glue , when you take your hand out you’re gonna have some glue sticked to it but if you keep sticking your hand in the ball of glue after a while you’re gonna have a lot of glue sticking to it and if you take a rubber band , this is another analogy besides the glue , if you take your rubber band and you stretch  one of the ends of the rubber band wants you to let go of it because it’s  uncomfortable with this “ Oh, I’m being stretched, let me go  “ so that it can come back to its original comfort zone but if you keep stretching and stretching little by little when you let it go it will come back  but not to his original place cause it will grow and the stretch , the change will be permanent .              Take 2 stones to analogy, the first one is be coachable and the second one is to realize that maybe a little uncomfortable to begin with but understand  that’s your period of transition . Most people quit in the way of success , most people quit during their own  period of transition , because it’s a call with the ladies right now I’m gonna actually  talk for those of you who have children , who have given birth  . If you gone to any of those classes that teach you to the moment to have a natural birth , if you remember there’s one thing that they teach you that there’s a point in the delivery process that you’re gonna have a period, you’re gonna have a time called THE TRANSITIONAL PERIOD , during that 45 min of transition you’re gonna fell like I can’t take it any more but they say “ If you can stay aware in those 45 min period breath and go trough it and go forward  you’re gonna be fine and then you can deliver 100% naturally . You know  that 100% of the people that go trough that period of transition during giving birth actually end up doing the whole natural birth .But 100% of the people who lose this during the period of  transition and have an epidural and I was one of them I said“ I can’t take it,  give it to me now !!!! “ and it was during this period of transition and I remember at  the end when I was all relaxed because of the epidural I said “ Oh , that was my transition period , wasn’t it ?” and so our job becomes to be aware enough  to realize that anytime you’re gonna  start a  journey you’re gonna have a level of chaos, a level of transition , but how long that chaos or transition lasts ? Depends of 2 things :you’re either resisting yet or embracing it ; you’re beating yourself up for it or you accepting it  ;and if you accept and embrace this is  the beginning of  me getting to a  new level , this is my period of transition then everything else will flow a whole lot more effortlessly . And one of the things that I always teach, Kim , this is a universal thing Kim, I came from another country , and in my own language my father said “ If you want to get the treasure you’ll have to break your back “ or “ You’ve got to work really hard, you have to pay your dues in order for you to become successful .”So, that’s become one of our unconscious automatic responses within our brain . So, every time I look at becoming successful the pattern says “ You go to  work really hard ,it’s got to be really hard “ . So I said, you know , who says success had to be hard anyway ?I saw that  looking objectively and that  is not to judge any one , this is the resonant damn, there  is only us . And I’ve been in a place where I’ve been very  desperate myself ,  so there is no judgment going on at all  , this is just objectively looking at . And if you look, most people who don’t have success are the one to say success has to be difficult , so why am I learning from them ? or from us at level . So I say , what I can do I’m gonna change that I’m gonna say you know what , success can be very easy as a matter of fact I started loving the word easy .I got up every day  and said today it’s gonna be so easy ,  so effortless, I started laughing to myself , but then I started lighting the feeling then I developed the principle of “ It’s easier done than said “so a couple of times I said that on the stage and people would think I said IT’S EASIER DONE THAN SAID because I was making a mistake because I was an emigrant .          But then they said “ NO,no, no, keep saying that you must mean it “ and I said “ Yes, it’s easier done than said , why ? because the burden of waisted potential is the biggest burden of all . So I rather do something everyday that takes me in the direction of creating a life for me, for my family and beyond rather than thinking about doing it , because that load of that waisted potential on my shoulders is actually me working a lot more harder , being emotionally connected , being drained rather than trusting and going forward one step at the time .-          KIM : Wow, that’s beautiful..i’d love to share your program with the art of connecting and a lot of the ladies that listen today they want success as it defined for them .For some people it’s 500$ a month , for some people is to get their children to college, for some is to get out from the job and be able to come home and be a mom , whatever it is , what can the art of connecting, the program that you designed help do for the women who have aspiring to their dreams they have ?-          ELLIE : The art of connecting is a fabulous program ,Kim, is not a motivational-based program and I love that motivation , and I love giving a keen an speech , I inspire people where I go , I love doing that also and I have other programs that will give you that motivation and inspiration to make you more like do it right now . But the art of connecting is a program that’s different and that art of connecting is a program that you should work with your subconscious mind and I actually recommend not to listen at the art of connecting while you’re driving because it’s designed in a way to relly start working with your subconscious mind and it actually puts you in a place of ease and you actually feel that you want to put your head down and relax. And so the art of connecting is a program that you listen when you’re awake and I certainly  recommend you to do that , not when you’re driving ; and also when you’re sleeping cause when you’re sleeping, the way it’s designed it’s working with your subconscious mind anyway .So, if you listen to this program a couple of times and get a couple of  things from it and the majority of the change that occurs by listening to the art of connection at subconscious  change .You don’t go “ I think I got that consciously”  you do get it  consciously, but you also get it beyond , on a bigger level subconsciously . So it’s a very powerful program that will assist you to really start reprogramming and letting go on  releasing some of the patterns that are getting in the way , some of the blocks that are getting in the way . A  lot of us  intuitively know there’s something getting in the way, something blocking me from receiving , from taking action , from feeling joyous , from following through on what I say ; and you know I always say the character it’s  following   through the decision long after the excitement of the moment has passed .And this CD series  will assist you , tremendously assist you with that level of subconscious character .-          KIM : That’s great ! well ladies you can find Elle about the art of connecting by www.MLM Secretsfor women .com// connect. Ellie , it has been incredible, I mean you’re inspiring , you give sense and insight to the soul .And  I really wanna thank you for your contribution . Is it anything else  would you like to share in a few words to the ladies who were touched by what you said ?-          ELLIE : You know , first of all it’s been honored to be on this call and if I had assisted anyone to be inspired , to level of education by listening to this call then that was what I was supposed to do .So, I want to thank you for your comments for listening to this information , for your commitment to wanting to grow and I recommend after you gone at the web site I offer you to find out a little bit more about me , pictures and some things that you could be looking on the other web sites also and if there’s anything I can do to assist you you can feel free to contact me email me or anything like that on our web site. But really just allow yourself to understand the principle that says“ It’s not me who, it’s not now when “ ; this is not an equal based principle that says that I’m here for a reason that is bigger than me .And I do have one life to live and if I live it right then once is enough and what can I do to contribute to myself,to my family and beyond and how can I teach other people based on raising my own bar and that’s what I’m here to teach you to assist you to be inspired , transformed ; once again thank you for listening to this I look forward to the opportunity to maybe connect you in the future and I’d like to thank you for your assistance for this industry with what you’re doing with your show ..-          KIM : Thank you so much Ellie and have a great day -          ELLIE : Fabulous day-          KIM  : Bye Bye

PROOFREADING October 21, 2006

ORIGINAL TEXT 

The impact of emotional bonds with supervisor on passive continuance commitment should be analyzed in terms of the reality of foreign-invested enterprises since that, in China, the levels of continuance commitment are different in state-owned enterprises and foreign-invested enterprises (Wang, 2004). Employees with a high level of passive continuance commitment either recognize the costs associated with leaving the organization or have to stay with the company due to a lack of job alternatives. Different from state-owned companies, people working in foreign invested companies have more latitude in deciding their own jobs because they do not necessarily care about their officially recognized place of residence. People are not hesitate to quit their job if they do not want to work in the foreign-invested companies any longer, although in rare causes illegal companies hold their employees in the company and do not permit the employees to quit freely. In general, passive continuance commitment in foreign invested companies is not high. Emotional bond with a supervisor might be likely to have impact on the active continuance commitment in that employees might feel more chances in the future, whereas it is not the case for emotional bond with a supervisor to affect the passive continuance commitment to the organization. It is generally hard for the employees to feel lacking of chance or having no alternatives because of the emotional bond with a supervisor. Therefore, it can be argued that employees’ emotional bond with a supervisor is not related to passive continuance commitment to the organization.In contrast, the relationships of emotional bonds with coworkers and passive continuance commitment are differing. Many guest workers working in the same company come from the same hometowns. People like to move to a new place with their friends together to find a job. Thus, there is usually a close network among guest workers. People from the same hometown are likely to form a small inside group. When an individual has developed a very good relationship and maintain emotional ties with his coworkers, he would be unwilling to lose the emotional ties with his coworkers, because the ties are more than a mere relationship in the workplace. Employees would get substantially spiritual supports from their coworkers even outside the domain of work. Therefore, considering the unwillingness and the cost of losing the emotional ties with coworkers, it would be reasonable to expect that people with emotional bond with coworkers are characterized by a higher level of passive continuance commitment. H4: Employees’ emotional bonds with coworkers are related to passive continuance commitment toward the organization.

 

 

PROOFREADED TEXT

     In China, the level of continuance commitment differ at state-owned enterprises and foreign –invested enterprises, having a great impact on the emotional bonds of the employees with their supervisors as passive continuance commitment . The employees with a high level of passive continuance commitment hesitate to leave their jobs due to a lack of better job alternatives  or they find it hard to realize the costs associated with leaving the organization .

 

     In foreign invested companies, people have more certainty in finding the jobs they want because they do not care about their officially recognized place of residence . If anyone wants to quit their job in foreign –invested companies they can do it without any hesitation . In rare cases though , illegal companies do not allow their employees to quit freely their jobs if they decide so , and force them to work still there .

 

     The passive continuance commitment is generally low in the foreign invested companies . An emotional bond with a supervisor can more likely to have an impact on the active continuance commitment seen as more chances for the future . The same emotional bond with a supervisor can not affect the passive continuance commitment  to the organization , but it makes it hard for the employees to feel the lack of chances or alternatives .

 

     Therefore , it is questionable that employees ‘ emotional bond with a supervisor is related or not to passive continuance commitment to the organization .

 

     In contrast, the emotional bonds of the relationships with the coworkers and passive continuance commitment are different .Many guest workers working in the same company come from the same hometowns , because people like to move to a new place with their friends and together find new jobs . That is why there is usually a close connection between guest workers .

 

     People from the same hometowns are likely to form small groups of interests . When an individual has developed a very good relationship with his coworkers and maintains these emotional ties , he would not break these ties , because they mean more than a mere relationship at the place of work .  They can get a substantial spiritual support from their coworkers , even in personal matters .

 

     Therefore, considering the unwillingness and the high cost of losing the emotional ties with their coworkers , it would be reasonable to expect that people with emotional bond with their coworkers are characterized by a higher level of passive continuance commitment .

 

THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE URBAN October 21, 2006

THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE URBAN

  

The anthropology of the urban is close to being alien to the Romanian cultural space . The cultural anthropology itself could not boast a crystal clear history when it comes to discussing the Romanian meridian . The name of this science is an ever growing topic for academic research , thus creating a paradoxical situation – anthropology without anthropologists . The Romanian anthropologist is a peaceful griffin , with the head of an ethnologyst , the heart of the folklore specialist , the legs of an ethnographic researcher and the hands of a lace maker.

 

The anthropology is a manifestation of power, held by the one who describes in comparison with the one that is described , and also with the one that reads . The anthropology is thus a manipulation . Nobody can convince us that the world described by the anthropological text is not deformed by the author’s fictional power, confronting itself with an excessive reality . Behind the cultural and social institutions , one always finds real people . They are those who nowadays have to face an excessive succession of events, seen from the viewpoint of space and identity . This circumstances makes almost impossible the attempt at correctly describing the global reality , using empirical means .

 

One could describe the relationship between individuals, segments of the social seen in its dynamics . The individual lives simultaneously in two types of society . On the one hand , there is a superficial society, one that is classified as surface society, which can be put under scrutiny . On the other hand, there is a profound society . The surface society appears to us as a careless and infinite flow of relationships , of inter-human connections that are ordered by a certain system  of values , norms, cultural reflexes and stereotypes , which we have named an official social code.

 

This one synthesizes the archetypal primary background , the significances held by the structures of the profound society in a modern reading . This kind of reading is updated through the means of such historical institutions as the school , the army, the church, the hospital , mass-media, the entertainment industry – they all have the permanent tendency to balance the enthropic discrepancies of the social by bringing the margins into central position .

 

The official social code becomes in this way a cohesive force of reticular domains bestowing consistency and meaning to the relationships established between the individual members of the community . These are always powerful relationships , tending to manipulate, through which each individual tries to protect and expand the freedom boundaries he has, always endangered by the limitations of the social .

 

There is a tendency to change into layman configuration the structures of the profound society . What is more, there is a tendency to change the archetypal code into one that does not have the cosmic feature . On the other  hand , there is a double tendency to compensate the above said, which makes it legitimate and adapts it . This can be identified as the level of the official social code .

 

The concrete forms of manifestation prove not only that the present can be explained through  the past, but also that the past can be a reading of the present .

So  I pack my bag, take my baby and go ! Once I get there , all sweaty and nervous because the traffic is infernal,  I put my baby in the shopping cart and he suddenly starts screaming all over the store that he doesn’t like it , that is cold, that it scratches his knees !

 

                   And I go like mad ! And as it wasn’t enough , my neighbor just appears from the grocery stand , all dressed up , with her perfect hair , her shopping cart full with groceries, and her perfect child sitting still in the shopping cart . But what is this ? In her shopping cart , there is something more than groceries ! Her child is sitting on a brand new Nest Shopping Cart Cover .. I saw one once , but I thought “ I don’t need that ! “

             And she came near me and she said : “ Hello, you look kind of bad today , don’t you, honey ? “ . My pressure went sky-high immediately . She passed along us and she said also : “ You see, honey, if your mommy didn’t bought you a Nest Shopping Cart Cover ? You are all bruised and nervous ! So sad !! “ You know, it is made out of a strong and soft fabric and it is a pleasure for me and my son to do shopping together ! It is chic, trendy and all modern mommies should have one for their child !! “

      And , as I remained there , in the middle of the supermarket, all sweaty and tired , my child screaming his lungs  out , I said to myself “ I will get right now one of those Nest Shopping Cart Cover ! “ And I did it . And today, when I see at the supermarket  a desperate mom as I was once I advise her to also buy one because it will make her life easier at least at shopping if not at home .

HEALTH INSURANCES IN COLORADO October 21, 2006

HEALTH INSURANCES IN COLORADO

 

  We all need to protect ourselves and our families through a health insurance plan that covers us in times of need . No it is up to us to choose from several options that  health insurance companies offer us and, of course, according to our financial possibilities .

 

There are many types of health insurance plans such as for individuals and families, for self –employed to large groups , for self –employed as a Group of one , even for retired individuals or individuals with no incomes .

 

In the state of Colorado , any person has the right guaranteed by the federal and state laws to be protected when they want to purchase , continue with or change a health insurance policy , even in the case of a low health condition .

 

The individuals health insurance plans are cheap and the main condition that is required at the purchase of this kind of policy is to have a strong health . It is less expensive because it does not cover maternity and other several coverings ,  an exception being The Kaiser PAI policy , which does cover maternity .In Colorado the individual health policy is required to include also mammography, diabetes treatment and even prostate cancer screenings . When you want to buy an individual health insurance policy , most insurance companies are interested in your health history and they will decide if you are the appropriate beneficiary of a health insurance policy provided by their company  based on your declarations . 

 

If you are running a small business, you can choose to buy a health insurance for your employees ( group of 5-20 individuals ) and you can obtain, thanks to a new federal law from January 2006, many tax advantages . The health condition of your employees will not be a problem in Colorado as the law indicates that you cannot be rejected by a health insurance company because of a health condition, age or any other issues that might predict the use of the policy by the people in your group . ( this is guaranteed issue ) . It is the best choice because it includes maternity and preventive care .

 

If you are self-employed as a group of one , you can obtain a Group Policy but you must accept more conditions imposed by the health insurance companies .

 

When you decide to leave your  job and get another one , you must assure yourself with COBRA , a state continuation coverage , a health insurance policy that will protect you in case of health conditions in between jobs . More expensive health insurance policies are COVER COLORADO And a conversion policy which you can buy as an individual , if you lose your group health insurance plan .

 

For the individuals with modest incomes , The Colorado state offers free or partially discounted health coverage through MEDICAID ( especially for children , pregnant women or women with breast cancer or cervical cancer , disabled individuals or old people ) and CHILD HEALTH PLAN PLUS .

 

Even retired individuals , aged 55-65 will obtain HEALTH coverage Tax Credit if they are the beneficiaries of the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation .

 

Though, if you decide to leave Colorado , pay attention at buying individual health insurance policies in another state because if you are not HIPAA eligible ( Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ), you may not purchase one .

 

In any of those cases, it is good that we make sure that we are always covered by our health insurance policy , by knowing exactly what kind of policy is adequate to our present and future needs and by taking the right steps in the purchase of it and the necessary time to complete the process in order not to be exposed to any unexpected and unpleasant health situations . 

SMALL BUSINESS LOANS October 21, 2006

SMALL BUISNESS LOANS

 

     Any person who wants to start a small  business will face a certain difficulty and this is financing the business . If you are not the owner of real estates or other physical assets that could be considered as guarantees , you may not be the right candidate for receiving the necessary financing from banks or loan companies . That is why it is very hard at the beginning : you must first have a  strong business plan in order to obtain the  loan for  starting your own business .

 

     A small business can be a good source of  money  if you know how to manage it and many people prefer to start their own businesses instead of working for others . That is why many loan companies and banks  exploit the requests of loans  for small businesses and these kind of products are always in their portofolio  with attractive debts and rates .

 

     But how many of the people who apply for a small business loan actually get one ? There are many requirements that have to be accomplished such as the capacity of repayment, the real necessary financing , the following projects that are in the business plan . The most popular small business loans are contracted for the areas of construction , industry , commerce , transportation , IT and production . But as the banks and loan companies declare, the biggest lacks occur when the business plan must be realized . A lot of persons find it difficult to declare exactly their  business activity and the results they want to accomplish by indicators such as the real  profit, the solvability level of the business . Another problem would be when the loan depends also on the own resources in financing the business , when it is necessary to contribute with your own money to complete the amount of the loan . This also depends on the guarantees you bring in the business , other loans you may have or other loan debts that you contracted , in other words, your credit history.

 

     The loan is guaranteed with personal items or real estate properties , which will cover at least 120 % of the value of the loan and the debts for the entire period of repayment . The assets will be assured for the entire period of the loan contract .

 

     There is also the possibility of contracting small business grants money from the federal government which is fine, but it is a certain amount of money you can receive and the loan can not cover more than 60 % of the value of the business plan .
