<p>With <a title="Wikipedia: Earth Day" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_day">Earth Day</a> here upon us, I went back and re-read a post I did November 2009. The title: &#8220;<a title="Green Radar" href="http://yourfortuneonline.com/2009/11/green-radar/">Green Radar</a>&#8221; It was an article speaking of all the things Watkins does to be environmentally green. As I was reading it I couldn&#8217;t help but think how Watkins has always been the pioneer in so many aspects of being green. While &#8220;Earth Day&#8221; is not about celebrating the &#8220;Green&#8221; impact companies have on the world, I think it is an important part. Because of the things Watkins does to be &#8220;Green&#8221;, they have given me inspiration to work harder in my business and personal life to understand the impact we all have when we make &#8220;Green&#8221; decisions (wrote about that <a title="Being Green" href="http://froward1.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/going-green/" target="_blank">here</a>). For one thing, since they now have Plant-Based Natural cleaners; our home is clean and healthy for our family and our Yellow Lab. The old chemical cleaners we used to use wreaked havoc on my wife&#8217;s asthma; not so with Watkins Plant-Based Natural cleaners.</p>
<p>I thought I would share some the things we have done in our household in the past year (not just on Earth Day) to be more green.
<ul>
<li>We are only buying Energy Efficient Fluorescent lighting</li>
<li>I have switched from using paper towels to cloth towels</li>
<li>I use a filtered water pitcher instead of bottled water</li>
<li>We recycle at our local recycling center</li>
<li>I use a re-usable water glass and coffee cup at work instead of Styrofoam</li>
<li>I carry a thermos of coffee to work instead of buying Starbucks (no paper cup)</li>
<li>I use a digital camera (no film or processing chemicals needed)</li>
<li>I use rechargeable batteries</li>
<li>I try to consolidate trips out (ie: pick up groceries on the way home from work instead of extra trip)</li>
<li>Use NPA certified <a title="Watkins Natural Personal Care Products" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/family.cfm?Parent=52&amp;family=293&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Natural Personal Care Products</a></li>
<li>Use <a title="Watkins Natrual Plant-Based Products" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=6&amp;family=250&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886&amp;group=616" target="_self">Watkins Natural Plant-Based Products</a> to clean our home</li>
</ul>
<p>There may be other things, this is just what I came up with off the top of my head!</p>

<h2>&#8220;Traditional Style&#8221; Potato Salad Recipe</h2>
<p>While I don&#8217;t think I will EVER find a potato salad recipe that will equal my mom&#8217;s, this one ain&#8217;t bad. As with all my cooking these past few months, the single biggest enhancement has been the use of <a title="Watkins Spices" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productsgroup.cfm?Parent=3&amp;family=20&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886&amp;group=83" target="_self">Watkins Spices</a>.<br />
<h3>Ingredients:</h3>
<ul>
<li>6 cups sliced cooked potatoes (still hot) with skin on</li>
<li>1.5 cups celery, sliced</li>
<li>2 Tbsp white wine vinegar</li>
<li>2 cups portobello mushrooms</li>
<li>3/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped</li>
<li>1 cup light <a title="Miracle Whip" href="http://brands.kraftfoods.com/MiracleWhip/Products.htm">Miracle Whip</a></li>
<li>2 Tbsp <a title="Watkins Onion Flakes" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01938&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Onion Flakes</a></li>
<li>2 tsp <a title="Watkins Potato Salad Seasoning" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01986&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Potato Salad Seasoning</a></li>
<li>1 tsp <a title="Watkins Garlic Salt" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01998&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Garlic Salt</a></li>
</ul>
<h3>Directions:</h3>
<p>Place potatoes in a large bowl. Pour vinegar over the hot potatoes, then let cool. Add rest of ingredients and mix well. Place in refrigerator and let chill for at least 2 hours.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s as easy as that. *I did &#8220;tweak&#8221; the Official Watkins Recipe just a little. Took out the ham and put in portobello mushrooms instead to make it vegetarian.  :)<br />
Speaking of Vegetarian, Check out this perfect main dish for the potato salad: My <a title="Un-Meatloaf Recipe" href="http://www.froward1.com/?p=109" target="_self">Un-Mealoaf </a> recipe. Perfect for meatless monday or anytime you want a delicious vegetarian main course.</p>

<h2>Your Fortune Online</h2>
<p>O.k. Health, wellness &amp; vegetarianism; what does all this have to do with yourfortuneonline.com? Excellent question, I&#8217;m glad you asked! Simply put, your fortune isn&#8217;t just about money. My day job (as I build my home business online) is working on the cardiac unit at my hospital. One of the things I have learned from working there is that the amount of money you may have will be useless if you don&#8217;t have your health to enjoy it. Because of this, I want to share what I&#8217;ve learned about health &amp; nutrition along with how to build a home business online. Watkins is the perfect complement for anybody concerned about the health and wealth of their family. Watkins has specialized in offering quality natural products to families for over 141 years. In addition they have the perfect (imho) business opportunity available today. I just wanted to have a short explanation of why I include healthy recipes, wellness information along with steps to earning money in your home business. It is the melding of these aspects that create a more productive society.<br />
<h2>My &#8220;Vegetarian Journey&#8221;</h2>
<p>Well it&#8217;s been 30 days since my wife and I tried being vegetarian for the month of March. I&#8217;m happy to report that it was a roaring success. As a matter of fact, it has gone beyond the &#8220;test&#8221; stage &amp; we are now full blown vegetarians. It has been a gradual trend that started last April when we changed our eating habits. We cut out red meat, fried foods &amp; foods with high saturated fat. Late October 2009 I joined Watkins. I&#8217;ve really enjoyed being able to convert over to the Watkins Natural products that are available. Between eating better and using natural products, vegetarianism was not too much of a leap. The change came about for purely selfish reasons though, I must admit. Heart Disease runs in my family. The past 2 years I&#8217;ve been working on the Cardiac floor of the hospital. Seeing the pain and heartache patients and families have to deal with I decided I needed to make a change.<br />
<h2>The Vegetarian Un-Meatloaf Recipe is Born</h2>
<p>It has really been fun converting my conventional recipes to vegetarian. As a matter of fact, my favorite recipe (meatloaf) just got converted last night. *You can find the recipe <a title="The Un-Meatloaf" href="http://bit.ly/Un-Meatloaf" target="_self">here</a>. It turned out awesome. The &#8220;Un-meat&#8221; I used has 0 fat and 8 g of protein. Way better for the heart than hamburger or turkey. My wife dubbed it the &#8220;Un-Meatloaf&#8221; lol! A lot of us have tried to make changes to healthier eating in the past. I can still remember trying to eat rice cakes and cottage cheese. Yuck! I wish I knew 20 years ago that it was possible to eat healthy, nutritious food that actually tastes good. It&#8217;s because of what I know now, that I didn&#8217;t know then; that I want to share healthy eating tips with others. It actually may be a benefit to others to see where I came from. Fried, and fat laden fast foods were a mainstay in my diet for years. Knowing that it is possible to go from McDonald&#8217;s <a title="540 Calories 29g Fat" href="http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutritionexchange/nutrition_facts.html">Big Mac&#8217;s </a>to Vegetarian Un-Meatloaf will show that anyone can make the change.</p>
<p>Speaking of change, check out VeganGal as she chronicles her adventure into Veganism during Lent: &#8220;<a title="4o Day Old Vegan" href="http://40dayoldvegan.blogspot.com/2010/02/vegan-for-lent.html">40 Day Old Vegan</a>&#8221; It is a daily account of her 40 days of veganism. The page I linked to has a video of her explaining veganism, as well as links explaining what Lent is. She also has several links to other Vegan Resources. Check it out.</p>
<p>Have a &#8220;Meat to Beet&#8221; vegetarian story you&#8217;d like to share? I&#8217;d love to hear from you, drop me an e-mail.</p>

Vegetarian 101

<h1>Vegetarian 101</h1>
<p>This is day 7 of my grand experiment of being a <strong>vegetarian</strong> for the month of March. Why would I want to test the waters of vegetarianism? Working on a Cardiac IMC unit in the hospital I noticed some &#8220;Common Denominators&#8221; of the patients that come to the floor.</p>
<p>The The &#8220;Top 3&#8243; were:
<ol>
<li>Overweight (moderate to severe obesity)</li>
<li><strong>Diet</strong> (high saturated fat)</li>
<li>Exercise (lack of)</li>
</ol>
<p>Seeing these common connections between people with heart problems (coupled with heart disease in my family) &amp; a few other reasons; in April 2009 my wife and I changed our eating habits. I avoid using the word &#8220;<strong>Diet</strong>&#8221; intentionally. I&#8217;ve been on &#8220;<strong>Diets</strong>&#8221; before. They are typically short term &amp; ineffective. I did some research and chose a &#8220;Program&#8221; to follow. In our case the &#8220;<a title="Swank Diet" href="http://www.swankmsdiet.org/">Swank Diet</a>&#8221; is the eating regimen we chose to follow. What did we give up? The main changes to our diet were the elimination of fried foods and the reduction of saturated fat. *Side note: <em>Be careful what you make fun of. I used to laugh at people in the grocery store that read product labels; now I&#8217;m that person!</em> So how much saturated fat is o.k.? We went with avoiding anything with more than 2.5 grams of saturated fat. The results: after three months we had both lost 30+ pounds (and have kept it off for 11 months &amp; counting). While our reasons for changing our eating habits was not to lose weight, but instead to eat healthier; it&#8217;s still kinda nice wearing clothes that 10 years ago wouldn&#8217;t fit. I have a low-fat simple recipe site here: <a title="Recipe Resource" href="http://www.froward1.com" target="_self">Recipe Resource</a>. Most of them are &#8220;Swank Friendly&#8221;, but they are all tasty, simple to prepare and low-fat.</p>
<p>Healthy food is yucky! This is what I used to believe. You know, to eat healthy it&#8217;s all celery sticks &amp; tasteless rice cakes. Boy was I ever wrong. We found a community of people committed to following the &#8220;<a title="Swank Diet" href="http://www.swankmsdiet.org/">Swank Diet</a>&#8221; who generously and selfishly shared their favorite tasty <a title="Swank Diet Recipes" href="http://69.5.2.192/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=recipes">recipes</a>. Now the Swank Diet was designed for a specific medical condition that I wont go into here. And while the medical evidence for it&#8217;s benefits aren&#8217;t overwhelming, we knew that the healthier lifestyle change was something we wanted to adopt. The health benefits from eating delicious healthy food was our primary goal, and in this we succeeded.<br />
<h2>Watkins Natural Products</h2>
<p>October 2009 I was introduced to <a title="WatkinsOnline.com" href="http://www.wt63.com" target="_self">Watkins</a>. I received some samples in the mail and was flabbergasted. I was one of those people that had never really heard about <a title="Watkins Vanilla" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/search.cfm?gCatalogLocale=Usa&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Vanilla</a>, <a title="Watkins Black Pepper" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01140&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Black Pepper</a> &amp; <a title="Watkins Cinnamon" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01115&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Cinnamon</a>. OMG!, this stuff was awesome. Seriously, just doing a simple cinnamon taste test between the cinnamon I had in the cupboard vs. <a title="Watkins Cinnamon" href="http://www.watkinsonline.com/productdetail.cfm?Product=01115&amp;gCatalogLocale=USA&amp;ECredit=386886" target="_self">Watkins Cinnamon</a> opened my eyes to a world of flavor I had been missing. I had no idea that there could be such a difference in the flavor and quality in spices. Now, 5 months down the road with my involvement in Watkins, I&#8217;ve found that all of their products are top notch. They feature natural and green products that are good, and good for you and your family. It was great when I realized that a simple change from chemical laden shampoo, soaps &amp; deodorants to natural Watkins products would be better for me and the environment. With over 350 products, Watkins has something for everyone.<br />
<h2>7 Days as a Vegetarian</h2>
<p>So how did I end up experimenting with vegetarianism? A little soul searching and a lot of fact finding. Just as before when I went with the Swank Diet, I did some research. I remember years ago hearing about a <a title="Dr. Dean Ornish" href="http://www.webmd.com/diet/ornish-diet-what-it-is">Dr. Dean Ornish</a> who had a revolutionary way of reversing blockages to the heart <strong>WITHOUT</strong> surgery. The parallels I saw between his Clinically Proven way to reverse heart disease (eat low-fat <strong>vegetarian</strong> diet &amp; exercise) and the patients I see coming to the Cardiac unit (unhealthy <strong>diet</strong>, overweight &amp; no exercise) were an epiphany. &#8220;Yeah but&#8221;, why does it have to be <strong>vegetarian</strong>? Why not? #1 it&#8217;s proven medically to reverse blockages to the heart. Secondly, have you ever considered why it is you have the eating habits you do? Just because that&#8217;s the way you were raised should not be the one thing that stands between you and living a healthier life. &#8220;Beef: It&#8217;s What&#8217;s for Dinner&#8221; Ever heard that one, or have you ever got a McDonald&#8217;s jingle stuck in your head. Could we as a society be so malleable as to be susceptible to the marketing marvels who promote an unhealthy <strong>diet</strong>? I was. What <strong>vegetarian</strong> recipe could compete with McDonalds? Check this out if you love the <a title="McRib vs. Veggie Riblet" href="http://www.froward1.com/?p=24" target="_self">McRib</a>.<br />
<h2>Vegetarian Recipes</h2>
<p>After researching more about Dr. Dean Ornish and his &#8220;Eat more &amp; lose weight&#8221; healthy heart eating regime, I decided to see if I could find any good recipes. Yep, sure enough I did! Here are a few great resources to try. <a title="AllRecipes.com" href="http://www.allrecipes.com">AllRecipes.com</a> then search for <strong>vegetarian</strong> recipes. Another awesome site for info on vegetarianism and recipes is <a title="GoVeg.com" href="http://www.goveg.com">goveg.com</a>. Start here with <a title="Vegetarian 101" href="http://bit.ly/Veg101">Vegetarianism 101</a>. Being a guy, I&#8217;m a visual creature. That&#8217;s just one of the reasons I love <a title="VegTV.com" href="http://vegtv.com/">VegTV.com</a>. They have videos showing you how to prepare some wonderful <strong>vegetarian</strong> and vegan recipes.</p>
<p>In conclusion. I&#8217;m not trying to scare or guilt anybody into being a vegetarian. My goal is to supply share our story and offer resources. I&#8217;m looking for helping the person who has an open mind &amp; is looking for better health. Thanks for stopping by.</p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">DIY: Home Based Business</h1>
<p>What is meant by a &#8220;DIY: Home Based Business&#8221;? The DIY stands for Do It Yourself, a Home Based Business is typically one that can be comfortably run from home (duh!) without having employees or a typical &#8220;brick &amp; mortar&#8221; shop.The options for having a home business are virtually unlimited. The real key is to find something you enjoy, can work part-time from home &amp; not have to invest a lot of capital. Because of these variables the &#8220;Answer&#8221; to which home business is right for you is going to vary by individual.<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Choosing a Home Business Opportunity</h2>
<p>Of course this will also vary by individual, but here is a list of some of the things I was looking for in my own home based business:
<ul>
<li><strong>Inexpensive to start</strong></li>
<li><strong>Flexible</strong></li>
<li><strong>Rewards in proportion to effort</strong></li>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">The Home Based Business Opportunity I Chose</h2>
<p>While I had looked for years &amp; tried a few things, the home business opportunity I finally decided on was a Summit Group/Watkins business. The fact that Watkins has been in business 141 years put my mind at ease about dealing with a fly-by-night scam. If I was going to invest my time in a home business, I wanted to ensure the company would still be around for the long haul. There are so many facets on how you can build your own home based business, I can&#8217;t go into all the details of the opportunity here. The complete full disclosure is available for free here: <a title="Complete Details" href="http://www.db46.com" target="_self"><strong>DIY: Home Based Business</strong></a>. But, I will tell you this, it has been by far the best use of $39.95 I have EVER spent in my life. The website above (the one with the free details) is provided to me by the Summit Group free of charge. Why, simply because this business is about helping others achieve their goals; I don&#8217;t make a dime in this business until you make a dollar. Is your future worth $39.95? Mine was.</p>

<h1>No Selling Required Home Based Business</h1>
<h2>How to make money without selling in a Summit Group/Watkins business.</h2>
<p>One of the first questions most people ask when first hearing about a Watkins home based business is &#8220;Do I have to sell?&#8221; Translation: &#8220;The only way to make money in a home business is selling, right?&#8221; The answer is actually no. The preferred method taught by the Summit Group to build your Watkins home business is not based upon the traditional sales model.</p>
<p>This is a hard concept for a lot of people to swallow. Especially anyone that knows anything about Watkins. Over 140 years ago Watkins pioneered the Direct Selling &amp; Network Marketing industry. But, most people assume because of the World Famous Watkins products and catalogs that the only way to have a significant income is to sell. The side of Watkins that is often overlooked is the power of the Network Marketing. If you enjoy selling, you certainly can, bear in mind however that the <strong>EVERY SINGLE ONE</strong> of the top earners in Watkins have focused their time and energy on Network Marketing, <strong>NOT</strong> Direct Selling. As a matter of fact, the leader of the Summit Group makes over $20,000 a month, and has since 1997. It is his method that shows the true power of Network Marketing in Watkins.</p>
<p>My goal is in just the little space I have available here is to show you how Network Marketing can allow you to build a team that generates a monthly bonus income without anyone having to sell retail. I can tell you from personal experience that even when you concentrate only on Network Marketing, some retail sales will still occur. This is because of the quality products that have been offered by Watkins for over a century. When people that have used Watkins products before find out your a &#8220;Watkins Man or Woman&#8221; they will insist on making purchases! As a consequence your business will end up being a mix of retail and Network Marketing.<br />
<h2>Why Isn&#8217;t Everyone Doing It?</h2>
<p>Simply put, most people don&#8217;t understand how network marketing works. People that are introduced to Watkins automatically assume it&#8217;s like Avon. Most all of us has known someone who sells Avon products. We see them with their catalogs talking to friends and co-workers, or possibly seen Tupperware, Pampered Chef or some other similar company and figured it&#8217;s just the same. You may have actually met someone at a county fair or craft show with a Watkins booth selling products, it is just the most common way most of us have been exposed to the business. Another reason it&#8217;s not as noticeable in the mainstream is because of the inherent nature of how Network Marketing works. You typically won&#8217;t see a BIG network marketing recruiting booth set up at the county fair. Marketing is usually done below most peoples radar.<br />
<h2>The Nuts &amp; Bolts of Network Marketing</h2>
<p>If your unfamiliar with Network Marketing, read on for the details in a nutshell. The concept is actually quite simple: A lot of people doing a little can be more productive than just one person doing a lot. Let me explain.</p>
<p>O.K. Remember the Avon and Tupperware Direct Selling example from earlier? Here&#8217;s how to relate it to Network Marketing in a way more of us are familiar with.</p>
<p>Imagine there was a company that opened large warehouse stores all around the U.S. And let&#8217;s further imagine that for a $45 annual &#8220;club fee&#8221; these stores would allow you to buy products from their store at a significant discount. The savings from just a few visits would quickly make up the annual &#8220;club fee&#8221;.</p>
<p>There is actually a company that has done just that. They have opened over 470 warehouses and sold 46 million people a &#8220;club fee&#8221; membership. These members spend 52 billion dollars in their stores. You know them as Costco, and millions have paid them $45 to join and buy at a discount.<br />
<h2>Watkins vs. Costco</h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s compare. For $39.95 you can start buying Watkins products at a discount of 25% or more. Pretty much same concept so far, pay a &#8220;club fee&#8221; to join and buy products at a discount.</p>
<p>Have you ever found a really good deal on something and then told your friends about it? Let&#8217;s say you tell your friends about Costco, and your friends buy a membership and start buying products at a discount. Will Costco send you a bonus check for 5%-10% of whatever your friends buy? Of course not. But get this; Watkins does! And if your friend tell others about Watkins, they can earn a bonus, and you can too.</p>
<p>Now you see how the concept of Network Marketing works. It works like this: you establish a group of people who join Watkins by paying their $39.95 &#8220;club fee&#8221;. These people are just like you, they&#8217;re not interested in selling products; just like the Costco analogy they join to buy products for their family with the associates discount. Seems simple doesn&#8217;t it? And it doesn&#8217;t take many  people doing that before your group can be using more Watkins products than the largest retail person in Watkins.</p>
<p>As I mentioned before, there&#8217;s a selling &amp; a buying side to the Summit Group/Watkins business opportunity. Should you choose, you can retail products to friends, family, co-workers or customers. The buying side is the Network Marketing. Associates (like yourself) buy products for their own use. In the long run though, there is a LOT more power from the Network Marketing side than the retail side.</p>
<p>The core principal concept of Network Marketing is people helping people learn how to buy award winning natural products at a discount. Repeat after me:<strong> &#8220;It&#8217;s NOT about selling!&#8221;</strong><br />
<h2><strong>Making Money in Network Marketing</strong></h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s get all hypothetical shall we. It all starts with you, let&#8217;s say you decide to join Watkins so you can save money buying stuff at a discount from Watkins instead of your local grocery or dollar store. And for the sake of this scenario you commit to transferring purchases to your own Watkins store at the tune of $100 a month.</p>
<p>Once you start saving money buying quality natural and organic products for Watkins, what do you do next? Just like in our Costco analogy; you tell others. Now suppose that you find 10 others who decide they want to have their own &#8220;buy &amp; word of mouth&#8221; business to save &amp; make money. And, like you they commit to &#8220;transfer buying&#8221; $100 (remember, these are products we&#8217;re already buying like: shampoo, deodorant, spices, lotion, vitamins etc.) per month. *FYI, there are no &#8220;monthly minimums&#8221; in Watkins. We&#8217;re using the hypothetical $100 per month as an examply of what a typical average monthly average may be. As always in life, some will do more, and some will do less.</p>
<p>In the scenario at this point, at the end of the month Watkins would calculate how much in products had been purchased from your team of 10, and then send you a bonus check of about $70. All you did to &#8220;earn&#8221; this was to tell others (word of mouth) and in the process you earned $70 + the discount of your own purchases.</p>
<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more. The next logical thing to do now is to help your team of 10 find their &#8220;10 team&#8221;. Reminder, nobody is looking for salespeople-what they&#8217;re actually looking for is &#8220;clones&#8221;. Clones of themselves, to do what they have done: buy/save, share/earn.</p>
<p>Looking forward; your 10 now have their 10. The group is now 110 strong, earning you not $70 monthly but <strong>$700!</strong> Wow, we don&#8217;t need no stinkin&#8217; sales! Simply a process of people transfer buying products they&#8217;re already buying &amp; telling others. Remember when we talked about how we would let folks no what a cool deal Costco was? How much is Costco going to send you monthly for your &#8220;word of mouth&#8221; efforts? Zilch, zero, nada, nein, <strong>NOTHING</strong>! Stop working for nothing, you deserve more for your efforts.</p>
<p>So taking it one step further: These 100 people find their &#8220;10 team&#8221; who want to buy/save, share/earn. Now we&#8217;re looking at 1,110 people in your organization. How does <strong>$5,000</strong> per month sound? Pretty cool huh? But don&#8217;t miss the big picture; this is not a &#8220;work for&#8221; door-to-door like Avon income. Where each month you have to go out to your &#8220;customers&#8221; and get more orders. This is different, and the difference is the key. These people are just transferring the dollars they were already spending at their grocery and dollar stores to Watkins. They&#8217;re saving money in that process. As a consequence the $5,000 is a monthly income without going out and doing the work all over again.</p>
<p>Obviously your team wont grow <em>exactly</em> as our scenario above; and it doesn&#8217;t need to because you can still have a large thriving team. As your team grows, some groups will grow slower than expected and conversely, some faster. But seriously, what could be easier? Buying stuff at a discount (stuff your already buying elsewhere) &amp; telling others how they can do the same.<br />
<h2>What&#8217;s Your Plan B?</h2>
<p>This is the real question you need to consider. What else out there can you do part-time from home, without selling or buying inventory that in a 3-5 year period with consistent and daily focused effort will allow you to be earning a significant RESIDUAL monthly income. Oh yeah, and for the measly sum of $39.95? And should you think this is just some fly-by-night get rich quick scam: consider this. Number 1, 3-5 years is not necessarily quick, and number 2-Watkins has been in business for over 140 years. What about where your working now? What if you get outsourced, or downsized, laid off, fired or the company relocates? What&#8217;s your Plan B?</p>
<p>Thanks for your indulgence, I know I was long winded with this one. My sincere wish is for your success in whatever endeavor you decide to choose. If for whatever reason this one does not appeal to you, I encourage you to seriously have a Plan B. I know all too well from personal experience that it&#8217;s significantly better to have your plan in place <strong>before</strong> you need it.</p>
