Wirtschaftskrise, Staatsbankrott vs. Young Living

Young Livings Lebensaufgabe ist es “Menschen zu helfen sich selbst zu helfen gesund und glücklich zu sein” - es gibt keinen schöneren Beruf :) Auch mir wird’s ganz warm ums Herz, und ich bin unendlich dankbar, wenn ich an die Öle denke, die schon so viel Gutes getan haben. Ich bin auch Dr. Gary Young sehr dankbar, der unter größten Mühen, unter Anfeindungen und mit seinem ganzen Wissen und Können, uns diese Öle schenkt. Es ist ein Akt der Nächstenliebe, und ein unendliches Geschenk für die Menschheit - besonders in unserer Zeit.

Es ist nicht von ungefähr, dass diese einzigartigen, hochwertigen Öle JETZT wiederentdeckt und angewendet werden. Zwar ist die Wirtschaftskrise schlimm für viele, aber es wird noch viel Schlimmer kommen.

Aromatherapy For Mood Disorders

July 20th, 2009

by Dr. Linda Kennedy, MS SLP ND

Almost 21 million people in the United States or 10% of the adult population suffer from a mood disorder (Kessler 2005). Anxiety and depression are among the most common and most difficult to treat of these disorders. Billions of dollars are spent each year on prescription medications to treat anxiety and depression. However, these medications are only modestly effective, expensive and can result in strong addictions and severe side effects. Clearly, there is a great need for a therapy that is safe, efficacious and cost-effective.

Over the last two decades, there has been great interest in alternative medical therapies for the treatment of mood disorders. One such treatment has been extensively studied and has been shown to have great promise in the treatment of these disorders. This treatment is aromatherapy.

Aromatherapy utilizes essential oils derived from plants to enhance physical and emotional well-being. Aromatherapy has been used for stimulation and for sedation depending on the particular oil used for thousands of years. Aromatherapy can be administered in several different ways although the most common are direct aromatherapy inhalation and aromatherapy massage.

Aromatherapy has been used to treat various conditions and diseases. The essential oils that are integral to aromatherapy have distinct physiological effects depending on the oil that is used. Many of these oils have anti-anxiety properties including geranium, lavender, mandarin and rose.

How to grow your business in today’s recession

July 18th, 2009

How to grow your business in today’s recession
– a current events look at what’s happening and what to do about it

Hi!

This economy has really taken its toll on our industry and I wanted to share some insights into what’s happening … and what you can do to grow your business during this recession.

First, a quick history lesson…

In the past, our industry has typically grown during recessions. People are concerned, the job market shrinks, and they look for other ways to make money. Most still have a decent job, so they get in a home business and can cash-flow it with their paycheck and with easy-to-get credit cards.

Today, it’s completely different.

While the official unemployment rate is near 9.5%, the “underemployment rate” (those people with a job but not at full capacity) is closer to 16.5% … and rising (see Wall Street Journal article at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124753066246235811.html). Credit is hard to get, and more people than ever before are focused not on spending money but on paying off debt and saving money. In just two years, the savings rate in America has jumped from 0% in 2007 to 7% today. That’s a HUGE swing for an entire population.

What’s going on today is people are scared. They don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, and they are a hoarding mentality financially. What used to be no big deal a year or two ago (such as $500 to get in a business), today is a big deal.

So how does this impact YOUR business?

In the last several years our industry has gotten lazy. We lost focus on the fundamentals of building a networking business — the idea that it’s a person-to-person, relationship business based on trust. We abandoned what has worked for decades in favor of the newer, “high tech” ways of building a business. But in a high-tech world you must work hard to give high-touch.

If you desire to grow your business in today’s economy you must get back to the fundamentals. You must focus on learning the skills of working with people and treating them as individuals, not a name on a sheet of paper. It’s about asking for referrals and helping a new person succeed, rather than putting $300 or $500 a month on your credit card buying leads or advertising in hopes you will build a big business.

My prediction is this: this economy will do in network marketing the same as it is doing in traditional business. The weak will exit, and the strong will survive. And those surviving will have a fabulous future.

How do you become strong and not only survive, but THRIVE, during these times? You have to stop shooting from the hip, with the idea that “throw enough mud (activity) on the wall and something is bound to stick.” If you don’t master the fundamental skills of working with people, gaining their trust, sincerely desiring to help them, and knowing how to lead them, you’re in for a tough time.

And here’s the best part of it all. When you master these skills, you don’t have to keep spending money on endless lead providers, hoping to grow a business.

Let me leave with an example from my own experience…

The biggest challenge I hear in the industry right now is not having enough qualified prospects to talk to … and leads have stopped working (duh!). With SKILL, you don’t need leads at all.

Before I retired from being a distributor and started Success Products, I perfected the skill on how to ask for referrals. I do not recall a single presentation I made that I did not leave with at least a few referrals — names, phone number, detailed description of the person was, and permission to use my prospects / new recruit’s name in calling those referrals. I averaged 6 to 8 referrals for every presentation I did (whether they signed up with me or not), and I could set 1.5 to 2 presentations from those referrals.

So, here’s the simple math of how to grow your business right now…

Let’s say I did 5 presentations this month. From just the referrals from those 5 presentations, next month I would have 8 to 10 presentations. From the referrals from those presentations the third month I would have 15 to 20 presentations. And in the fourth month? My calendar wouldn’t hold all the presentations I could schedule!

And keep in mind that all the presentations are in my downline, helping other people succeed. So if I am doing a presentation 4 levels deep, it excites the person on my third level, the one on my second level, and the one on my first level. In other words, heat rises to the top, and by building in depth I multiply the impact. Everyone gets excited, so they work more and buy more. This is in complete contrast to buying leads and only recruiting personal distributors.

In other words, when you master the SKILLS of actually growing a networking business, you’ll never have to worry about leads again. And when you teach those skills to your organization, you’ll never have to worry about your income again, either. You organization will blossom!

How do you get these skills? Plug into your active, building upline who has already mastered them. It’s their responsibility to teach you and help you grow. If you don’t have that person, or it’s obvious they don’t know what they are doing themselves, then plug into our system. All the training you need can be had for less than $50 a month, including the tools to apply it (call us at 205-871-2998 Option 2 (sales) if you want to learn more — we have extended sales hours, Monday-Saturday, 9am to 8pm CST).  We have some new stuff that’s not on our website, so call us if you have an interest.

Hopefully, I’ll see you at the top. If you master the skills of this business, I KNOW I will!

Warmly,

Groundbreaking Research from Young Living Scientist

July 14th, 2009

Sue Chow, director of Young Living’s Quality Control Laboratory, has been working with Gary Young for more than a decade studying the chemical compositions of essential oils. I recently listened to her lecture about one of her latest experiments studying the effects of essential oils on methicillin-resistant staphylococcus, or MRSA.

MRSA is an infection caused by a bacteria often referred to as “staff.” Most MRSA infections occur in healthcare settings such as hospitals and nursing homes. This general type of bacteria is resistant to many antibiotics and can be fatal to those with weakened immune symptoms.

Sue’s explained that there are many types of MRSA bacteria, and her study focused on Staphylococcus aureus. During her study, Sue grew these bacteria in dozens of Petri dishes. Once the bacteria were visible in the dish, Sue placed a few drops of oil on a piece of paper and placed the diffuser in the middle of the culture. Sue repeated this experiment with 91 single essential oils and 64 Young Living blends.

Of the 91 single essential oils, 78 killed the bacteria all at varying degrees. Sue said lemongrass, lemon myrtle, mountain savory, cinnamon, and melissa essential oils had the highest levels of inhibition. Of the 64 Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ blends that were tested, 52 proved effected against the bacteria with R.C.™, Motivation™, and Longevity™ having the highest level of inhibition.

With so many types of MRSA bacteria and so many means of essential oil delivery (taken orally, diffusion, topical, etc.), Sue was quick to mention that her research is only the beginning in discovering what effects essential oils have on MRSA. Sue also added that this research was conducted on a specific strand of MRSA in a controlled environment; the effects on other MRSA strains are not known.

Interested in reading more? Sue’s article on essential oils and MRSA is published in volume 23 of the Flavour and Fragrance Journal (2008, pages 444–449).
