Most Awesome Nachos

The Taste I Love, and The Nutrition Isn't Half Bad Either...

Sometimes I get worn short on what foods to feed my family. I try to mix it up so that nobody gets bored, but I also like to keep the nutritional value of our meals high. What used to be a battle for 'healthy eating' has become less painful. Finding new ways to provide taste with nutrition has kept my family happy, which makes me happy.

So today I am sharing with you a recipe for nachos I came across that no only taste good, but are still fairly decent for you as well. We made a meal of it, as it is fairly balanced. I can't say that too often about nachos.

And how good was it? Even my 4 year old daughter asked for seconds.

Here is the low down:

The mozzarella stands in for the fatty cheddar, and black bean chips boost fiber and slice the calories. And with a big scoop of black beans and salsa, you get a blast of antioxidants.

• 1 bag black bean chips


• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed


• 1 ½ cup shredded, low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese


• 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or chopped


• 1 cup salsa


• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange the chips in a single layer on a large nonstick baking sheet. Cover evenly with the black beans, then the mozzarella cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted. Remove from oven, spread the chicken evenly over the nachos, and return the nachos to the oven. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or long enough to warm the chicken and brown the cheese. Remove and top with your favorite salsa and the cilantro.

Some Ideas To Keep You Looking And Feeling Better.

Can you believe it has been seven weeks since my last post? You think I would have fallen off the face of the earth or something! I mean come on, you neglects their blog for that long anyways?!

Well, I guess I will have to give you something good here. And in light of the new year, I suppose I will give you some healthy body related info.

I was recently discussing overall health with a female friend of mine in the modeling industry, and she made for a very interesting conversation. I won't go into great detail, as our conversation lasted about one hour, but I will give you what she called her ten commandments of skin care.

1. Wash your face just enough to remove dirt and makeup, not to leave skin feeling tight.


2. You wouldn't leave the house without brushing your teeth - the same goes for wearing broad-spectrum SPF 15 minimum.


3. You can use regular cream around the eyes (we usually do)


4. Choose a moisturizer with antioxidants that protect skin from the elements.


5. Reapply moisturizer hourly when flying, unless you want to look DOA.


6. Look for an anti-aging cream with retinoids. Yes, they really work.


7. Apply anti-aging or anti-acne ingredients before any other products to keep from blocking their penetration.


8. More isn't always better. A pea-size amount of face cream is enough.


9. Exfoliate skin every week with a gentle scrub.


10. If you want real results, give products up to six months to work.
    

Whether you are man or woman, you can apply these to your life. Yes guys, you are allowed to take care of your skin. Put your ego aside today so you don't look like a catcher's mitt in 20 years. And if for no other reason, the ladies like it when your skin is taken care of. I mean, who wants your sandpaper hands and feet rubbing them in bed? Think about that for a minute guys.....

Success Solutions

You Are Your Most Powerful Asset.

Being able to have success is very simple. It isn't always easy, but it is very simple. I have been able to break down my own experience and provide you with a solution.

You heard me right.

I am about to give you the solution to your problems. It is not some magic lotion, potion, or pill. It is very simple and you - yes even you - can follow it. The question will be will you apply it?

My solution presents itself in six steps. Lets see how they all break down.

#1. Have a Dr.Phil moment. - so how is that working for you? Are you doing the same thing over and over again? Are you still expecting different results? Did you know that is the definition of insanity?

#2. Only those who see the invisible can do the impossible. - Only shooting stars break the mold. The truly successful do things a little bit differently than everyone else. If you are doing the things that everyone else is doing, than you are going to get the results they are as well. I don't know about you, but that just isn't good enough for me.

#3. Develop a plan. - failing to plan is planning to fail. If you don't know how to get from New York to Los Angeles would you just start walking? How long would that take you? Where would you end up? Eventually you would just give up. (sound like most of the goals you have had in the past?)

#4. Become personally accountable and responsible. - The buck stops here. Once you make yourself the end all for everything in your life, everything takes on a whole new perspective. If it is your fault you didn't get that raise/promotion/award, then you will work smarter to achieve it.

#5. Self education. - Schooling will make you smart, but self education will make you a success. Think about everything you learned in school. It is the same thing everyone else learned too. It is what the other guy learned on his own that sets him apart from you.

#6. Use time each week. - If you make it a point to review and adjust each week, then you will stay on track. The more you keep it fresh in your mind, the more you will think about it, and the more you will accomplish.

Who Are You?

You Are Your Most Powerful Asset.

You have seen it before. There is always someone out there who is better looking, more successful, and more whatever you can think of. There is always someone who has the secret you need to accomplish your goals. And without them, you are doomed to failure.

B.S.

So many of us are spending our time trying to become successful or reach a goal that we start to mimic other people, thinking we will achieve what they have if we only copy them. You couldn't be further from the truth.

The truth is you are very important and very valuable. There is only one you, and you need to present you to the world. Let me give you an example...

When I first started marketing on YouTube, I watched a ton of videos from people who were already successful in this industry. I wanted to see what they were doing so I could have success as well. Sound familiar?

I started to copy the styles and content I found the gurus doing and applying them to my own videos. Did it bring me success?

Nope.

Nada.

Zilch.

One day it finally hit me. The only way to have success is to be me. When I stopping making videos the way other people were and started making them the way I would, I started to have success with video marketing.

Why?

It is quite simple. People started to get the real me.

People can tell when you are you. There is a genuineness about you that only shines through when you are being you. Your subconscious tells you when someone is faking it, and no one will follow a faker.

But Jeremy, I just got started today. Why would anyone follow a newbie? I can't possibly be myself.

Wrong again.

Your desire and passion for success will shine through if you be yourself. People don't follow income claims, systems, or the next best lotion/potion/pill.

They follow people.

And if you give them the real you, and you truly strive for success, they will follow you.

All the way to the top.

What Is Your Excuse?

Are You Going To Complain Or Are You Going To Do Something About It.

Unless you have been living under a rock lately, you have undoubtedly heard from many political candidates about many issues that face us all.

Of course, if you have been living under a rock, maybe these issues don't affect you. But that is whole different story...

Regardless of where you stand on these issues or which candidates you plan on voting for, the most important thing you can do is VOTE.

I once heard a quote that went something like this:

"Americans would cross the entire globe to fight for democracy, but would not cross the street to vote."

Thinking about this brings me to the topic at hand. I hear all sorts of opinions coming from everyone about this issue and that issue. Yet only a fraction of the people I hear complaining are actually doing anything about it.

So here is my thought for you.

VOTE.

It is the single most powerful weapon we posses. We preach about how much freedom we have and how we decide who is running our government, which in turn means we are in control of our government.

You want to make your world a better place? Do your part. Find out where the candidates stand on issues. Find out what their plan of action is going to be. Become well informed and take action.

It is your right AND your responsibility.

Will Your Job Be There For You Tomorrow?

Eliminate Your Job Before It Eliminates You

Are you worried about job elimination and office cutbacks? That is a hot topic for a lot of people these days. As you sit and worry about if your job will still be there for you tomorrow, a list of worrisome questions arise:

How will I support my family? Will I lose my house to foreclosure? How will I be able to pay my bills? What am I going to do about health insurance for my family?

These are all troublesome questions that many people are asking themselves today. Do you want to be one of them? I definitely do not.

I have secured my future. I made the decision to define my own future, rather than letting someone else do that for me. I started my own business marketing products for a financial services company.

I found this solution to be the best of both worlds. I was able to set my own schedule and determine my own worth, instead of letting someone else tell me what I was worth. Being my own boss is a great feeling, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is motivated to make a change in their lives.

I mentioned that I market financial products. I see this as a recession proof industry. Lets face it, as the economy goes down, more and more people are searching for the financial answers they need to survive in life. I no longer have to worry about having a demand for my business because it will always be there.

Now I know what you are thinking. You have no marketing knowledge and starting your own business can be expensive. I felt the same way when I was looking for a way out of the rat race. But what I found during my search was something that was teachable and affordable.

The new internet business model allowed me to start my own business for a lot less than traditional brick and mortar type business would. I didn't have to rent a building, I didn't have to keep an inventory, and I didn't have to hire a bunch of teenage employees to run my business. I couldn't believe that something like this existed.

I was able to start my own business and learn from people who were already successful running their own internet business. They taught me exactly what they did to become a success. I was able to get my business up and running and leave my job far behind.

I no longer worry about job elimination or job outsourcing. I work from home and support my family. I no longer have a list of worrisome questions that plague me everyday. I work on my schedule and enjoy spending time with my family. If you have motivation, then I highly recommend doing the same thing for yourself. Do some research and choose a business model that fits your needs and goals. Your future can be whatever you want it to be, if you actively pursue it.

A Blog About Nothing

Could It Come At A Better Time?

Okay, I admit it.

After racking my brain on a plethora of subjects to blog about, I have ultimately decided that there is nothing worth blogging about this week. Not to say that there is nothing happening in the world, but who wants to read about your investments going belly up or how much mud slinging the political candidates are doing? Again.

Now, I honestly do enjoy the political punches that get thrown near election time. But, like you, writing about it now feels just like reading it or watching it on tv. At this point, enough is enough. And when it is all said and done, you will probably learn just as much as you would from this blog post. Nothing.

Aside from some chad counting, major voting screw ups, or some novel supreme court ruling, the next couple of weeks should bring a sigh of relief.

No more phone calls.

No more political tv commercials.

No more mass junk mailings.

Hopefully, nothing of any importance will fill our lives. We will all just sit back and have our moments of zen. That is of course until we all start blaming everyone else for all of our problems. Again.

To Stay Home Or Not to Stay Home

Can You Survive Leaving Corporate America?

To stay home or not to stay home with your children is the big question many parents are asking themselves. Or perhaps it is not a question if you should stay home or not. Maybe it is a desire to stay home and raise your children. You may then have the question 'how can I stay home and raise my children without going broke?'

Well, I have come across a solution to this problem of staying home to raise my children while not going broke at the same time. It something I call being a 'Full Throttle Marketer.'

Now I know what is going through your mind right now, and I want to ease your fears.

I do not have any formal marketing training.

I went to college and obtained my associates degree in automotive technology. I think you would agree with me that this is far from anything close to marketing. I can however, follow simple instructions. If you can do the same, then you can find success while staying home with your family.

I want to clarify something here: this applies to being your own boss, becoming an entrepreneur, etc. This does not apply to working for someone else from your home.

You will want to find an opportunity with a lucrative compensation plan. This is a must if you want to make any significant amount of money from home. If you are going to be investing your time in a business venture, you will want to be well compensated for it.

You will also want to check for ease of getting started and expansion. You may be starting your new business with little to no experience, and having some pre-made templates will allow you to get your business venture up and running quickly.

But wait, I also mentioned expansion. You want to be able to expand what I call 'You, Incorporated.' Having templates is great for getting started, but once you get the ball rolling, you will want to starting branding you and your business, and templates just won't work for that. Make sure you can brand yourself once you get some experience under your belt.

Okay, this all sounds great, but what about the time I want to spend with my family. Isn't that the whole purpose for working from home? This all sounds like it is very time consuming.

You want to find a business model that has a professionally staffed call center that does all of the selling and telling for you. Lets face it, ninety-five percent of all people have no selling skills. How can you possibly sell enough of your business to make a decent living and still have time for your family? That is the whole point of having a call center. They know how to sell and they are good at it. This will free up your time so you can concentrate on what I mentioned at the beginning of this article: Full Throttle Marketing.

If you can spend all of your work time marketing you and your business, and not have to worry about selling, you can increase your business dramatically. Marketing is what drives people to your business. The more marketing you do, the more potential customers you have. Think about how much more marketing you could be doing and how much less selling you would be doing.

This also allows you to do something else: run your business on autopilot. You can take that vacation or day trip you have always wanted to go on. Maybe your son has a baseball game today. Or your daughter has a dance recital. Wouldn't it be great to never miss another activity again? To have that guilt just disappear? And since you have a call center closing all of your sales for you, you will be generating an income even while doing these things you enjoy.

So lets wrap up. Becoming a Full Throttle Marketer allows you to stay home with your family, earn an actual income that you can support your family on, and you get to work on your schedule. So what are you waiting for? Put your life at Full Throttle!

Recession Woes Will Hit Us All

Who Will Survive This Economic Downturn?

I believe the stock market is going to be a tough place to be for some time. I know, Bear market recoveries can be very powerful, and can even recover 50% of their losses. However, I extremely doubt that this will happen for this particular bear.

My reasoning is simple.

While the stock market is already down 40% from its highs, the economy is just now heading into a recession, one which I believe will be an incredibly painful one for most people.

Historically, the stock market begins to recover from a recession about half way through it. That tells me that we have at least 6 months to a year before that will be possible. Furthermore, this will not be a run of the mill recession. For one, the credit market is dead, and it will continue to be very difficult to get any loans. Since our economy is now a debt based one, this is very bad news, and once layoffs begin to increase, just as they did this past month with 159,000 people losing their jobs, the reality of all this will begin to set in.

People go through 3 definitive phases when dealing with difficult financial times in their life. Phase one is denial, which is where we are currently. Right now most people see this as just a temporary fluctuation in the stock market, and believe that it will soon turn around, but it will not. Phase two is when reality really begins to set in. Layoffs, foreclosures, and bankruptcies, which are only beginning to increase in their intensity, become reality. And then there is phase three, which I refer to as surrender. This is when things are so bad that an individual will sell everything left, with any value at all, just to hold on to some remnants of their prior life.

If this all sounds incredibly bleak, that’s because it is. 80% of the country is upside down financially, and as you have probably noticed, very little of the $3 trillion that is being put back into the economy by the Federal Reserve will actually help individuals directly. Ok, this newly printed flash cash will ensure that the banking system survives, but none of it will be deposited into any of our bank accounts, which is where its needed most.

The Economy is Crashing

Why I am calm, cool, and collect

So I recently went by one of the Ford dealerships I used to work at. I expected to get the usual small talk about how lucky I am, how much everyone hates their jobs, and how much they need to get out of there.

All talk and no action. Exactly what I expected.

But I noticed something different this time. Everyone was standing there talking to me. No one was selling cars and no one was fixing cars. The place looked like a ghost town.

So I inquired about recent business. There wasn't much to talk about. There was no recent business.

So how could that be?

Didn't I know that the economy was in shambles? Didn't I know that everyone is pinching their pennies? Didn't I know that people were losing their homes, their cars, and their jobs?

Sure I did. I read about it all the time.

So how do I keep my composure? Why am I not worried?

Simple. I am an entrepreneur. I make money for me and not someone else.

I market financial products, something everyone needs now that the economy is in a downward spiral. The more the markets fall, the more people come looking for me.

So the next time you are thinking about how much the cost of gas and groceries are going up, try thinking about something you can do about it. Start creating wealth today and a legacy for tomorrow, and your worries about the poor economy just seem to disappear.
