Build Your Health To Build Your Wealth

Article Overview: America - and much of the rest of the world - is overweight. My home state of Colorado is perenially the "least overweight" U.S. state according to surveys, but that moniker itself is indicative of the trend... we used to call it the "most lean" or "most fit" state.

Build Your Health To Build Your Wealth

A Little Discipline On The NEWSS Could Save You, In Many Ways America - and much of the rest of the world - is overweight. My home state of Colorado is perenially the "least overweight" U.S. state according to surveys, but that moniker itself is indicative of the trend... we used to call it the "most lean" or "most fit" state. People move here to take advantage of the outstanding climate and outdoor opportunities, so there are thousands of fit-as-a-fiddle Coloradans. But you can still go to any store in the cities and see grossly-fat people who seem to have blown up like balloons.

This is troubling in many ways, but it's also a fact that we're throwing away a lot of money maintaining those big bellies. Last March's edition of "Scientific American" notes that a person carrying seventy extra pounds will spend more than $30,000 extra for health care in their lifetime... and that's probably a shorter lifetime than the trimmer version of that person would've had! This is not trivial, especially in tough economic times like these. And experts say the global economy's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

Of course, many people think the government is the solution to this problem. In places like New York, nanny-state liberalism has stepped in to "help" by creating laws against consumer choices that are considered unhealthy. It's gone way beyond smoking regulations to include laws that limit your ability to salt your food, order a soda-pop, or get trans-fats. And we all know the federal government is in the process of taking over the nation's health care system, largely to "control costs."

However, industry experts (and those who follow the politics of the whole thing) agree that President Reagan was right when he said that government wasn't the solution to the problem, but rather WAS the problem. It still is. Most insiders agree that the effect of government intervention, on all levels, will cause society as a whole to pay even more for "health care" than under our previous excellent (though fixable) free-market system. And it won't shrink the bellies. People will still live fat and die early... they'll just wait in longer lines to do it. And the sort of "extra" health care that would save many of them will not be available at any price.

No, the only solution is personal responsibility, and more wide-spread discipline. If you think about it, most people are motivated to lose weight and get in shape when they see someone else at the office or shop do the same. Why not be that inspiration for the folks around you?

It starts with making the decision to change your body, and to revitalize yourself. You can do it. You just need to start with a little discipline in the five key daily health habits I call The NEWSS: Nutrition (just start by cutting the processed garbage out of your diet), Exercise (work out at least three times a week), Water (get your two liters every day), Sleep (get eight hours every night) and Supplements (take at least one good multi-vitamin, such as my favorite liquid nutraceutical). These five habits create a synergistic effect of improved energy, which will give you what you need to take each habit to the next level... and the benefits continue to build from there.

As the pounds slowly disappear, your mood and energy will improve, your optimism will return, and you'll even find your pocketbook gains weight as your belly loses it! And you won't be dependent on government bureaucrats for your very life.

Re: Great start, but no finish Re: Great start, but no finish - My advise is FOCUS on your business. Focusing is the main factor to succeed on business. If you have a great idea, then follow it only, don't look anywhere else. It is especially essential in an online business. Because there are a lot of mind blowing sales letters promising millions dolllars or overnight success, people find it difficult to concentrate on one business and they lose their energy. Concept is simple. 1- Have a good idea; 2- Build your business on it; 3- Monetize your business; 4- Promote it; 5- Build list of responsive customers; 6- Maintain You Business. Focusing and not fearing from competition (instead you can learn from competitiors) are main tips of billionaires ,BTW. Orxan

But how do you know if you truly have a good idea or not? If we ask ourselves, we may be suffering from tunnel vision. On the other hand, friends/family may try to discourage us from pursuing a small business because of their own fears, while others will simply give us an empty "you can do it!" line.
Starting A Business Starting A Business - go get a customer! you can have a great idea but if you don't have a customer you'll never be successful. Build a product / service around someone who will pay you for what you can offer! It's the best way to build a business.
Re: How can I promote my site? Re: How can I promote my site? - Build a funnel and put leads through your funnel, some will convert and those that aren't ready to buy straight away can go into a long term nurture campaign.
