A Toddler's Exercise Program - A Recipe for Heart Health in More Ways than One!
I wrote this list when my oldest son, Eric, was about 4
years old. Eric was, and still is, a very energetic boy. One day it just struck me as very funny to
think about how different we are as adults.
If we were more like kids we could get rid of those extra Calories just
going about our normal activities.
Have you ever wondered why your kids are so thin? Well, when was the last time that you:
·
Did somersaults while watching a movie?
·
Spent an entire day hopping on one foot
everywhere you went
·
Begged incessantly to jump on a trampoline?
·
Jumped on said trampoline, when given the
chance, for a solid hour?
·
Gotten on your bike and raced it to the
neighbor’s driveway two doors down to do a couple of loops and raced back to do
it all again….and again….and again……?
·
Hopped up the stairs?
·
Jumped down from the third step then ran back up
to do it again…and again…and again….?
·
Raked a sandbox?
·
Shoveled the last remnants of snow off your lawn?
·
Kicked your brother and sprinted off…..repeatedly?
·
Asked to go outside so you could “get some
energy out”?
·
Ran ANYWHERE aimlessly and without care?
·
Ran through a sprinkler?
·
Pretended a play golf club was an axe and
whacked stuff – hard?!?
·
Climbed up and down off the table in your Doctor’s
office?
·
Climbed up and stood on a chair – not to reach
anything – just to, well….I don’t know why?
·
Crawled across your kitchen table?
·
Crawled on your countertops?
·
Crawled anywhere other than into bed?
Just picture yourself or other adults spending their days
moving like a toddler! If
we did spend
our days like this it would be great for the heart in more ways than
one! Maybe there is something to be learned from our kids - joy where
we are AND burn some extra Calories!

Re: How to develop sales contacts?
- Everyone has the right idea here. Depending on your business, there are different techniques that you could use. For consultants and sales heavy businesses, there are three tactics that I have found especially useful in my business:
1. Attend Networking Events
2. Cold Calling
3. Referral Program
4. Affiliate Program (most successful)
The affiliate program was successful for me, as I hooked up with a franchise consultant, and he gave multiple unit businesses that needed my credit card processing services. I highly suggest you hook up with a sales partner, and give him a cut of the monthly revenue.
Think like an Association
- Hey Sebastian,
Maybe you could try thinking like an Association... I would study the structure or formats used by other Associations. What are they doing to add value for their members?
The BBB plays a monitoring role for consumers by gathering data about business' that are behaving badly. And they're pretty successful at it too.
Maybe you can offer a 'Platinum Program' that franchisors buy into. Accredited members only. Criteria could be strict:
1. Age (stability): 10+ years
2. Satisfied franchisees: 85% + satisfaction
3. Size (stability again): 250 units
4. Strong profits
5. Great management
-Maybe a 'Gold Program' for those Franchisors that aren't quite at that level, but can strive to reach it...
-Top 100, 500, 1000 Listing for qualified members... maybe a slap at Entrepreneur.com and their biased top 10 lists...
-Maybe act as a monitor like BBB?
-Maybe team up with FranSurvey OR do something similar for each member (not sure about Fransurvey's rep, but I like the concept)
There's so much discontent within the franchising arena that I think if you were part of the solution, then you could create a win/win with your Association.
The only downside is that this power can get abused if there aren't good checks and balances within the association.
Setting up Revenue Sharing Program
- Hi Martin
I know it must be confusing going through the process of setting up an advertisement when you're not actually going to use it, but it's how it seems to work.
For anyone else who has problems with this process, simply follow these instructions courtesy of magnify.net and make sure you have created your Adsense Account and it has been approved.
To create a [i:1b5dm29n]new channel[/i:1b5dm29n], go the main AdSense web site, login and click "AdSense Setup", then "Channels", then "Add new custom channels". You can call your channel anything e.g. evancarmichael.com
To discover the [i:1b5dm29n]channel number[/i:1b5dm29n] (so you can paste it into the Evan Carmichael Revenue Sharing Program) that has been assigned to your new channel, click "Products" and "AdSense for content", then create an ad (Just hit next, next, next until you reach Get Ad Codes) using your new channel and copy the number from the line that says "google_ad_channel = ".
Now enter that number into Evan Carmichael Revenue Sharing Program and you'll be setup.
