Zija is a health drink made from the leaves, plant and fruit of the moringa tree, otherwise known as the miracle tree. Business wise, it is a true MLM because you make money based on recruiting not selling a product. As you recruit more people to the business you make residual income. If you are looking for a product made of moringa in liquid form, Zija is just that.
If you choose to sell Zija, your health story will encourage others to try it and as they develop their own health story they will in turn encourage others. Concentrate on the health virtues of the product rather than the business opportunity. It is a business that will take time to build and more time to see any decent returns.
Zija tastes like watered down pinapple juice and green tea, it's not a horrible way to take an all natural liquid vitamin. The price tag is harder to swallow. This product does not sell itself, it needs your health story and the testimonials of others.
It's a good product in an industry that is growing as the baby boomers grow older. Health is a big issue and individuals are looking for all natural ways to heal themselves, Zija can fill this niche. If you are going to choose to drink Zija as your daily vitamin, then telling your story and sharing it with others to create a residual income is a nice perk.
If you are looking for a business to build quickly and replace a full time income, I'm not sure this is it. Each recruit will only net approx. $5-$10. You will only start seeing a decent income once they start recruiting. Zija is not a get rich quick type of business, it is a business based on a story that is spreading.
To get more information on Zija and the business.
To Purchase Zija
NOTE: I do not sell, nor do I drink Zija, I do not get paid for any comments I make about Zija. Please leave your testimonials and comments about Zija.

Looking for a Latasia Jewelry Rep in Vancouver
I received a phone call tonight from someone looking for a Latasia Jewelry Rep in the Vancouver area and do not have a team member in that area. I find this frustrating because I continually receive requests from all over North America looking for a Latasia Catalog or a rep and I would love to pass on a name.
If you are looking for a business opportunity or a product to add to your business please think about Latasia Jewelry.
The kit costs $169.00 CDN and you receive over $950.00 of Jewelry in your kit, $240.00 of which you pick out personally.
The best part is there are no minimum requirements to remain a rep, no quotas to meet and the margins enable you to make a good income.
Jewelry is a great product to offer and if you are already in direct sales, this is an opportunity for you to add to your business.
Want more information? Check out my other Latasia Jewelry websites or Email me.

It takes Commitment to Succeed in Business
Ever wonder why some women excel in direct sales and others flounder? The difference is commitment. They take their business seriously, it is their bread and butter not just a hobby or a side line. To succeed in any small business, especially home based ones, you have to be serious about your business.
Do you have a place to work? An office?
Does your family and friends take you seriously or do they view your business as a hobby?
You cannot be effected by how others view your business, you must have the attitude that this is your business, your livelyhood not a hobby, it is a business. You have to demand the time it will take for you to be successful. How many hours a week do you want to devote to your business? Make sure you devote this time to your business by setting aside the time and then demanding that your family let you have that time. When they see that you are serious about it, then they will start being serious about it too.
You will not succeed if you don't put the time and effort in. The only way you will put the time in is if you commit to a certain time each day and then demand that no one bother you during this time. If it's one hour a day or two hours a day, your children can play by themselves. If they can't then you'll have to start teaching them how... for that check out my blog on raising siblings to be friends. You husband will have to pick up some slack, just as if you worked outside the home.
If you have to take it outside the home, pack it up and go off to your local coffee shop to get work done and leave the kids with your husband. If you have an office then shut the door and put out a sign that says don't disturb, go ask dad. Train your family to understand that when you are in your office, you are not to be disturbed. It'll take awhile for them to get it, but trust me they can survive a couple of hours without you.

Why Women Can't Rise to the Top in Business
Ever wonder why there are so many more men in executive positions? Ever wonder why there are more male experts than female ones? The answer is in the innate nature of woman. We are the glue that keeps the family together or at least we are the ones to pick up all the pieces.
In the past Men went to work and the wife took care of everything so that he could concentrate on work and do what it took to rise to the top, if he was so inclined. He didn't come home wash dishes or pick up the kids or even do laundry. His whole role was wrapped up in being the income earner and the handyman (if he was so talented). Need the lawn mowed, need the garbage taken to the curb, or shovel the driveway? Then he was there to lend a hand. Need a diaper changed or a dish washed, he'd quickly disappear, he had work to do. By having less responsibilities at home he was free to put his focus into his work and if he wanted to climb the corporate ladder.
Today though, both parents work in most homes, both have more responsibilites in the home and with childcare. Their focus' are split between home and work thus they are challenged to do either as effectively as if they were able to focus on one role all day. Houses are no where near as clean, dinners are rarely shared at a table every night, and too often both parents are too exhausted to put in that extra effort at either work or home.
So are we doomed to mediocrity? No but it does mean that both parents need to look to each other for support and each need to look outside of the home for resources to help them. Quality daycare so they are not stressed and worried about their children. A quality house cleaner to ensure that weekends and evenings are free to focus on other tasks, such as children and the work they've both brought home. They both need to be willing to help the other and both need to have a vested interest in each others success in the workplace.
If one parent only cares about their career and places a tonne of demands on the other without helping out the other then things will fall apart. For arguments sake, I am takeing the traditional route but in todays world the roles could easily be reversed. Since, husbands in most cases still earn more and feel that their career is more important, they don't do 50% of home based work. The wife has added chores with grocery shopping, childcare, and housework. Just going on a family outing means an exhausting day for the wife as it is her responsibility to get everyone organized and out the door. She spends all the time making sure everyone, but her, is having fun and behaving. Afterall, the husband worked hard all day and deserves a day of leisure.
If the wife is trying to make a successful career for herself, it will be difficult because she won't be able to put in the long hours. She will have to drop everything for the kids and if the husband needs something done. Her focus will be split, her ability to stay organized will falter, especially if being organized isn't a strong suit. She will be too exhausted to anything well and so over scheduled that both her career and her family will suffer.
In todays family dynamic of two working parents it is so important that both parents work together and identify with each other so both can succeed and the family doesn't suffer. The husband must take on a more domestic role and all home chores must be split 50/50. An attitude of helping, sharing and caring about each other must be adopted by both parties. Neither can critizie, blame, or demand from the other or else someone gets so overwhelmed that it will all fall apart.

WAHM Know Your Strengths & Weaknesses
For small business resources are limited and you end up having to be everyone, the manager, the CEO, the bookkeeper, the administrator, the salesperson, the receptionist and even the janitor. The problem is no one is good at everything, everyone has strengths and weaknesses. WAHMs have unique obsticals to overcome in order to find solutions to compensate for their weaknesses.
A work at home mom has a million things on her plate and little distractions to compound the problem. Those closest to her may not take her business seriously and as a result she may not take it seriously enough. A work at home mom is isolated and may have a harder time locating resources that are available to her to compensate for her weaknesses in business.
Admitting you can't do it all is the first step, as woman we may think we can do it all and don't need help. Got news for ya chicky, your strengths do not lie in everything that a business person must do and with home and kids it's easy to ignore that which you aren't strong in. Take me for example, I am not strong in administrative details, bookkeeping or keeping details organized. If I was a detail oriented person, I wouldn't be such a strong idea person or problem solver because the details would get in the way. Everyone cannot be good at everything.
WAHMs though are isolated and cannot always find the best solutions to compensate for their weaknesses and as a result business is harder than it needs to be. Many times business falls to the wayside and then dries up completely and she is faced with less money and may have to go back to work. So what can a WAHM do?
1. You need to identify what is holding you back from complete success, what is lacking.
2. You need to put a plan in place to compensate for these weaknesses. There is always a solution even if you can't see it.
3. Find someone that is good at ideas and can help you come up with solutions and compensate for weaknesses.
4. Find a partner, someone who is strong where you are weak and weak where you are strong and work as a team to build a stronger business.
5. If a partner isn't the answer find other resources. There are woman out there who have all types of businesses and are looking for a client like you. Can't afford it? Bartering may be an option or maybe you can negotiate something that will be of benefit to both of you. A longer payment plan or babysitting services in lieu of cash payment. There is always a solution, you just have to be able to look past the detail obsticals.
6. Find other WAHMs in the area, preferably from all sorts of different industries and work together to help each other. This is what Carennedy Solutions is all about, bringing WAHMs from all different types of backgrounds, strengths, and experience together. If you are in the Calgary area you are more than welcome to come by and see what its all about. Even if you are only thinking about becoming a WAHM and not yet in business. For that matter if you are an employed WAHM and not a business owner, you are more than welcome to attend too.
For more information go to http://www.carennedysolutions.com
7. Read, Read, and Read, somemore. There are some great books out there. I have a list of different business books you need in your resource library at my website through the store link.
Hopefully this is enough to get you started on the road to success. If you want to read more that I have written for WAHM check out my other sites:

It's a New Year Time to Evaluate your Business
Christmas is over and now its time to get back to work. So what does that mean for the WAHM? The kids still are out of school and you may want to take an extended break too. This week is a perfect time to plan for 2008. Your business checklist for this week should include:
1. Written Goals - an unwritten goal is just a wish
2. A Written Plan to achieve these goals - this is your road map
3. Review what happened last year - what worked, what didn't
4. What products or services to drop - if they didn't sell in 2007 chances are....
5. What services or products to add in 2008 - did anyone want something you didn't have
6. Books to read list -- I don't mean Harlequin, or Danielle Steel
That should be good for this week.... lol.... Are you feeling a little overwhelmed? Start with number one and see how much you get done, after all there is always next week.
My Week is going to consist of writing my goals, and working on my business plan. I also need to finish up some changes to my online stores and I just opened a store for Cafe Affiliate shops to link to so I need to promote that this week too. I will also be making a list of products and services to add this year and working on my astore list of business books to read this year. So I'll be busy, even with the kids underfoot. I'm not sure how much I'll get done, or how many sleepless nights it will take, but it's better than nothing.

New Years Resolutions for Your Business
Woman in business have lots of outside distractions and obligations, for those of us who work from home these distractions are more demanding and more urgent. With the New Year upon us it is time to start thinking about resolutions and how to improve business for 2008.
There are a few things I want to challenge all business women to do, especially those in direct sales working from home. First write down both personal and business goals for 2008, make sure you write them down. A goal that is NOT written down is a wish, not a goal. By writing down your goals you have focused yourself instead of going down tangent after tangent. It is so easy to get off course and add things that do not benefit your main goals. Now that you know the outcome you want write down how you are going to get there. This becomes your business plan, it can be that simple.
Business plans can be a simple plan on how to attain your goals and other times it can be a complicated 50 page document with financial statements and projections. Which you will need depends more upon who is going to read it, if you are going to keep it as a road map then simple will be sufficent. If you are looking for investors or a bank loan then you will be needing a much more indepth complex document. Every business needs a business plan, even direct sales reps who sell something here and there need a business plan.
What you will need in your business plan will depend on what type of business and plan you need, but there are some basic items. You will need to identify what your core business is, that which makes you money. Many women spend too much time doing things that don't make them money and not enough time doing stuff that will. By outlining what your core business is it will enable you to ask, "is what I am doing now going to lead to me making money?" If not, then re think what you are doing and find resources that can help you. You will need to identify what your experience is and strengths are. By knowing your strengths you will understand what you are good at and be able to structure your business to your strengths. You will need to identify your weaknesses. By knowing your strengths you will be able to identify what resources you need to find. A business plan is a tool to focus yourself and understand your business and what you need to do.
If you have made the decision to start a business, if you have invested money into it, why not take it seriously enough to succeed? There will always be distractions, especially when you work from home, what matters is how you manage them. By sitting down and writing a business plan outlining your goals, how you will achieve them, your core business, your strengths, and your weaknesses, you will have a road map to succeed.

What you Need to Know Before You Read my Blogs, Or Why WAHMs Should Read my Blogs
So you can have an idea about what I do and why you should spend anytime reading my blogs, I will give you some quick background points.
I am passionate about helping women make the decision to work or stay home. For some it is an easy decision for others it is very difficult. Many find themselves in a situation that they don't get to make the choice, they have to go back to work. I help them find resources and options so they can live the choice they want to.
Are you a work at home mom? or a women in small business? Do you spend lots of time and effort marketing and not enough time on your core business, that which you are paid for? Well this is where I come in. My company Carennedy Solutions helps WAHMs and WIB connect to the marketplace via cost effective unique methods. I'm kinda like the think tank of home based marketing. It is my goal to help women in business, especially with direct sales companies, to succeed by utilizing my 10 plus years of marketing experience.
My company is set up to offer those who are looking for more out of their networking experience, well MORE. Instead of spending time passing around cards and listening to someone give a generalized talk, we sit around and talk about specific issues to your business. I give a quick general presentation on business and then we talk about how to use the idea in our businesses. We discuss challenges each of us face and come up with creative solutions. Working from home can be isolating, but it doesn't have to be.
From this group I then organize cooperative marketing groups to pool resources and compete for a larger share of the market place together. I help organize events and create opportunities for serious WAHMs and WIB. The goal with these groups is to compete for a larger share of the marketplace and provide women an alternative to big box shopping.
I also provide lots of online exposure opportunities for WAHMs and WIB through my website. Whether you want to write a review of your direct sales company, or articles on your industry, or just put 3 items into the store there is something for every business women. I am constantly adding more options and opportunities so customers need to check back often or sign up for the newsletter to have opportunities come to them. To find out more go to my central website: http://www.carennedysolutions.com/
I have a store to provide cash flow because at the moment all my networking services are free. There will be membership fees in the near future but right now, noda cent. The store is filled with different items and I host Open Houses and have home parties to present them to the marketplace, not all the items are from official direct sales companies. If you live in Calgary and are looking for a unique home party experience, check out the Carennedy Store at http://www.carennedysolutions.com/ for options. More products coming to provide you and your friends a full shopping experience.
The only official direct sale company I personally represent is Latasia Jewellery. I represent other reps for other direct sales companies but only signed a personal independent rep contract with Latasia Jewellery. For information on Latasia Jewelry go to: http://www.squidoo.com/lataisa_jewelry or if you are from Calgary AB Canada go to: http://www.squidoo.com/latasia_jewellery_calgary_canada. other items I sell via direct sales I have bought wholesale. I am always on the look out for new items, the only criteria is that they have to be of high quality and a decent price.
That's my business in a nutshell, a large one at that. In the future I plan on writing more about the challenges of working at home and offer advice and provide you with encouragement and value. I hope that I will deliver, if you are having challenges in your business please send me a message and I will help you come up with an answer.
Until then.......

Are you a work at home mom? or a women in small business? Do you spend lots of time and effort marketing and not enough time on your core business, that which you are paid for? Well this is where I come in. My company Carennedy Solutions helps WAHMs and WIB connect to the marketplace via cost effective unique methods. I'm kinda like the think tank of home based marketing. It is my goal to help women in business, especially with direct sales companies, to succeed by utilizing my 10 plus years of marketing experience.
My company is set up to offer those who are looking for more out of their networking experience, well MORE. Instead of spending time passing around cards and listening to someone give a generalized talk, we sit around and talk about specific issues to your business. I give a quick general presentation on business and then we talk about how to use the idea in our businesses. We discuss challenges each of us face and come up with creative solutions. Working from home can be isolating, but it doesn't have to be.
From this group I then organize cooperative marketing groups to pool resources and compete for a larger share of the market place together. I help organize events and create opportunities for serious WAHMs and WIB. The goal with these groups is to compete for a larger share of the marketplace and provide women an alternative to big box shopping.
I also provide lots of online exposure opportunities for WAHMs and WIB through my website. Whether you want to write a review of your direct sales company, or articles on your industry, or just put 3 items into the store there is something for every business women. I am constantly adding more options and opportunities so customers need to check back often or sign up for the newsletter to have opportunities come to them. To find out more go to my central website: http://www.carennedysolutions.com/
I have a store to provide cash flow because at the moment all my networking services are free. There will be membership fees in the near future but right now, noda cent. The store is filled with different items and I host Open Houses and have home parties to present them to the marketplace, not all the items are from official direct sales companies. If you live in Calgary and are looking for a unique home party experience, check out the Carennedy Store at http://www.carennedysolutions.com/ for options. More products coming to provide you and your friends a full shopping experience.
The only official direct sale company I personally represent is Latasia Jewellery. I represent other reps for other direct sales companies but only signed a personal independent rep contract with Latasia Jewellery. For information on Latasia Jewelry go to: http://www.squidoo.com/lataisa_jewelry or if you are from Calgary AB Canada go to: http://www.squidoo.com/latasia_jewellery_calgary_canada. other items I sell via direct sales I have bought wholesale. I am always on the look out for new items, the only criteria is that they have to be of high quality and a decent price.
That's my business in a nutshell, a large one at that. In the future I plan on writing more about the challenges of working at home and offer advice and provide you with encouragement and value. I hope that I will deliver, if you are having challenges in your business please send me a message and I will help you come up with an answer.
Until then.......
