Reach the Gen Y Generation for Greater Creativity and Success

What is important to people in the Gen Y age group, 18 to 35, and what are the benefits of having them in your organization?

From our recent involvement with this great group of entrepreneurs, we've discovered they are overflowing with ideas, they take a fresh perspective to the way things have always been done, and they bring energy and enthusiasm to tasks that present a challenge.  They love financial and time freedom, plus the chance to work from home, rather than a nine to five job in a cubicle.

Read "Y-Size Your Business.  How Gen Y Employees Can Save You Money and Grow Your Business" by Jason Ryan Dorsey, for a more in-depth look at this important economic segment.  

We're attending two evenings with an expert in this area and will report back to you in the next blog post.  Meanwhile, embrace the Gen Y generation and enjoy a refreshing business experience.

Dave Wentz, former Chair of the Direct Sellers Association of America and co-author of the New York Times best selling book, The Healthy Home. Simple Truths to Protect Your Family From Hidden Household Dangers, was a speaker at a national event where we received recognition.  That event inspired us and those on our team to take action on a number of fronts to increase the number of people who could benefit from our company.

Business Success Is Affected by these First Impressions. What works for you?

"El Gallo" Jose Antonio Rivera, three time world champion boxer, knows the importance of a first impression when facing his opponent in the ring.


His posture, facial expression and menacing stance, would all signal that he is ready to win the match and show why he is the champion.


Of course, he was sporting a vibrant smile when visiting with us lately.  In the business realm, as a leader with USANA Health Sciences, Jose always greets people with a welcoming, sincere smile in the first few seconds, which wins immediate trust and opens the door for friendly conversation.

If you only have 30 seconds to win the confidence of someone you have just met at a business, sports or social event, what else makes the difference for an effective way to introduce yourself and your business?


1.  Catch their attention.  People's minds are filled at any one time with ideas, worries, places to be, things to do.  What can you say that will startle them into attention and relate to their lives?  For example,  "Did you know that over 80% of people wish they could make extra income working from home?"


2.  Be clear on what is most critical for the person to understand.   Nobody likes to be tricked or manipulated into a decision, so you make it clear and concise.  "Well, I show them a simple, effective home-based system for creating a growing, stable source of income."


3.  What makes you and your business distinctive and compelling?  There are thousands of options in the marketplace, which makes decisions difficult.  "In fact, we have a proven training program to help people get off to a fast start and then to continue for a strong income through the years.  Would that make a difference for you or someone you know?"


You have 30 seconds to get through the clutter that cries out for a person's attention.  Make your message capture their attention,  relate to their situation and distinguish yourself from others.  That's real value in a short conversation that could lead to a long lasting business relationship.

What's working for you with first impressions?

Why Vitamin D Makes Good Business Sense, Great for Families Too

Vitamin D has been championed as one of the best sources for overall health, making it a great choice for those who want a thriving business with healthy owners and employees.

So, whether you are taking the kids for a walk in the park, or taking a 15 minute power walk as a break from business, leave off the sunscreen for that short time and absorb vitamin D from the sun.

People who are low in vitamin D are more susceptible to heart disease, several types of cancer, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis, and even certain flus.  In fact, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2007, looking at nearly 60,000 people showed a seven per cent reduction in mortality from any cause for those taking vitamin D supplements.

Everyone should have their vitamin D levels checked with their doctor and take an appropriate amount of vitamin D supplements (USANA Canadian prices).

How Chocolate Can Accelerate Your Business and Protect Your Health

Whether you have a home based business, a store front, or you work for someone else, you care about the bottom line financially.  Hearing that chocolate is a possible success factor, you have to pay attention.

Recent articles have been heralding chocolate for a number of positive attributes, many of which affect our health, which ultimately affects work output and financial gain.

The latest findings from the University of California-San Diego found that the body mass index of those who ate dark chocolate five times a week, compared with those who didn't eat it regularly, was one point lower.  It seems that those who eat moderate amounts of chocolate regularly are thinner than those who don't.


So how does that go together with the fact that 66 percent of U.S. adults are overweight or obese?  With the average chocolate bar containing about 200 calories, will these findings encourage people to gobble up chocolate bars daily and create even more obesity? 

And what does that have to do with business anyway?  Well, extra pounds create greater stress on a person's heart.  A study from the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, found that of 100,000 people, those who ate dark chocolate regularly reduced their risk of heart disease by a third.

Extra weight also wears down the joints and taps a person's energy.  That ultimately affects the bottom line in business.  Healthy people have a greater chance to be more productive throughout the day and are not sitting at home on disability payments.


The emphasis is on dark chocolate if you are dedicated to making healthy choices.  Cocoa is rich in antioxidants called flavonoids, which are anti-inflammatory, can lower blood pressure and even improve overall vascular function.


I've always preferred milk chocolate, but I'm off to the store now to look for some dark chocolate to add to my health regime.  That would be just a few pieces a day for my overall health and to benefit our business.  


Of course, I get flavonoids from my USANA supplements as well, expecially from Proflavonal C 100.

Stay on the Edge Like Patrick Chan for Greater Business Success

Patrick Chan, Men's Singles World Gold Medalist, 2011, 2012, men's singles figure skating, has been quoted as saying, "If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space."  That describes his career so aptly, with his constant commitment to ingenuity, excellence and exploring new frontiers in his sport.

How do we measure up to those standards in the business realm with pursuing new markets, adding innovative marketing programs, perfecting customer service and so much more?  What would our businesses look like today and in the future, if we were as dedicated as Patrick Chan to be "on the edge" in creative and exciting ways?

There is a balance in following proven paths for success along with newer methods, when developing a home based business in referral marketing.  The traditional key elements would be cited in four basic steps:  1.  Open a conversation.  Ask questions and listen for areas where your product or service would add value to a person's life  2.  Set a time to discuss your proposal in detail, meeting in person to discuss in greater detail, answering questions and hopefully helping them make a positive decision.  3.  Follow up with more information as needed.  4.  Provide excellent training once they have purchased products or decided to represent your company and join your organization.

The internet has changed marketing methods dramatically, with social media outlets, online ads, skype, blogs, Twitter and so on.  You can now build international sources of income from the comfort of your home office without venturing outside the front door.

How are you keeping your business "on the edge"?  Where could you explore new frontiers and bring greater momentum and excitement?

Patience and Persistence Pay Off When You Work From Home

Financial freedom requires persistence, dedication, action and a lot of patience.

On a recent trip to Florida on business, I walked the beach in the morning, passing this heron, who could stand still for what seemed like forever, staring into the ocean.  What you can't see in the photo, is that straight ahead of him was a fellow throwing his line in for fish.

The heron was very patient, knowing his meal would eventually be coming in.  As soon as the fisherman began to reel in a fish, the heron headed for the shore with amazing speed and stole the catch.  He understood the power and fruitfulness of patience.  The fisherman learned that he should move to another location.


This amusing scenario reminded me to be aware of where others are successful with their business, should that be a wise move for me.  Then, be sure that no one is waiting to snatch away my rewards.  Also, both the heron and the fisherman had to be patient and persistent in their pursuit of a "customer". 


Where can you apply more patience and persistence in your business?
