Protect against the unexpected
Life can be unpredictable. That's why it's best to prepare yourself for any eventuality, especially when it can impact your loved ones. At Clever Mortgages we can help you find the right type of life insurance to suit you.
If you die without life insurance and have any existing debts, including your mortgage, these will automatically be passed to your next of kin. This can leave your family with financial difficulties, especially if they depend on you as the main income provider or form of childcare. Life insurance acts as a safety net, protecting the ones you love the most if something were to happen to you.
What is life insurance?
Life insurance is a type of insurance that will only pay out in the event of your death. It can't be used as a savings or investment product and has no cash value unless a valid claim is made.
You can choose the amount of cover you need and how long you will need it for. In return, you and your family will have peace of mind that if something happens to you, they would still be able to keep their home and have financial security.
What about illness or injury?
Life insurance won't pay out in the event of an illness, accident or disability. To cover for these types of circumstances you should have a look at our critical illness cover and income protection insurance.
Types of life insurance
There are two main types of life insurance; whole-of-life and term life insurance. The type of insurance that is most suitable for you will depend on your situation. If you're unsure what type of insurance you need, we can work with you to help you get the right product.
Whole-of-life insurance
As the name suggests, a whole-of-life policy will guarantee to pay out whenever you die. This option is typically the most expensive type of life insurance because a claim is inevitable.
Term life insurance
Term life insurance will only pay out during the fixed period set within your policy. This is the most common form of life insurance, as many people only require a payout if they die whilst their mortgage hasn't been paid off.
There are different types of term life insurance depending on your situation:
Level term policy
This policy will pay the same amount throughout the entire term unless you change it during that time. With this policy, you will know exactly what your family will be left with in the event of your death.
Increasing term policy
An increasing term policy factors in the rising cost of living. Any money paid out will be in line with the Retail Prices Index (RPI), ensuring that the money insured holds is real value throughout the term. However, as the amount insured rises over time, so will the premiums in line with this. Therefore, if you decide this policy is right for you, you should be prepared to pay more as time goes on.
Decreasing term policy
Decreasing term insurance is designed to cover a debt that will gradually reduce over time, such as a mortgage. With this type of insurance, your monthly payments will stay the same, but the overall mortgage debt will decrease. The amount that the insurance company will pay out will also decrease to reflect the remaining debt on your mortgage.
How much does life insurance cost?
The cost of life insurance depends on a number of factors including the policy you take out as well as your age, lifestyle and medical history. So if you are young, active and healthy then, in general, you will pay less for life insurance than someone who is older or someone who has a life-long medical condition.

BitTorrent Inc, the popular file-sharing client has been sold to Tron platform and TRX cryptocurrency founder Justin Sun, Variety confirmed on Monday.
Following rumors last month, the acquisition announcement revealed that discussion on the deal started in September last year and that Sun had signed a letter of intent to acquire BitTorrent in January. But the deal almost didn't happen.
Trouble brewed when BitTorrent entered into preliminary talks with other potential bidders, causing Sun to file a restraining order claiming the business had agreed not to seek other suitors. The lawsuit was eventually dropped after Sun registered a company, Rainberry Acquisitions, aimed squarely at closing a deal with BitTorrent, who had renamed their corporate entity to Rainberry Inc at the start of 2018. After letters indicating a change of status due to a merger were received last week by the California Secretary of State, from both Rainberry Acquisition and Rainberry Inc on the same day, observers concluded an agreement has been reached, if not yet publicly announced.
The acquisition was made possible by a USD 70 million token sale closed by Tron in the fourth quarter of 2017 – the total market cap of the TRX cryptocurrency is USD 4.8 billion, of which USD 1.65 billion worth of tokens is held by Sun's Tron Foundation.
BitTorrent has gone through a considerable number of changes in corporate ownership and function over the years, most were attempts to break into the entertainment market at different levels.
The company's first capital raise aimed to build an entertainment business that leveraged existing peer-to-peer (P2P) infrastructure, but the idea never caught on and resulted in layoffs and recapitalization in 2008. From there, BitTorrent grew their business through the now familiar ads and bundled software channels, achieving up to 150 million monthly active users until 2016, when the business was acquired by two new outside investors. The two got seats on BitTorrent's board of directors and became co-CEOs and promoted an expensive expansion initiative, that included opening a media production facility in Los Angeles.
However, the new endeavors met with little success: both new CEOs were fired within a year and the production facility shuttered. BitTorrent also shut down its live streaming service in 2017 after founder Bram Cohen left the company to become the CEO of blockchain startup Chia.
Tron was created by 26-year-old, former University of Pennsylvania student Justin Sun, listed in the Forbes Asia 30 Under 30 list in 2015 and a former Ripple employee. The platform seeks to decentralize content sharing on the internet, aiming to bypass third-party sites like YouTube, Facebook, or Amazon.
With its BitTorrent acquisition finally a done deal, we'll know soon if the closest thing to a mainstream P2P torrent sharing client on the market will now be returning to media production, or if it will be integrated into the technical capabilities of the Tronix Network.

Bangalore. Adobe India predicted in its annual general meeting a speculated drop in the revenue, largely due to the ending of canvassing for the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections.
"The market really picked up in last couple of years as Photoshop has been used widely across political parties to portray what they promise to do if they win and what the other parties did when they won," said Adobe's country manager for Indian operations Mr Gullible.
According to the marketing manager for Photoshop India, Ms. Apply Filter, "It wasn't easy, we faced a lot of competition from Microsoft paint as the Indian customer couldn't distinguish between a vibrant Gujarat and Singapore, between a Congress party chairman and a buffoon, and between a broomstick and a vacuum cleaner."
"It's not the end of the world for us as use of social media is growing in a dramatic rate in India, and customers can believe anything what their favorite political parties share, so no matter what the results of the elections are we can hope to see Photoshopped pictures of Rahul Gandhi empowering women, Narendra Modi making gold plated roads, and Arvind Kejriwal leading a huge rally at New York," Ms Filter said.
"In fact, we are developing extra tools on the layer panel which says 'Indian', making it easier for the self-declared graphic designer to make anything look half decent in just a single click to suit to the Indian market," the head of R&D at Adobe disclosed how Photoshop plans to remain relevant even after the elections.

Cyberattacks in Healthcare Are on the Rise
Despite increased awareness about cyberattacks, the healthcare industry remains unprepared for security breaches that are occurring in greater frequency and sophistication. That's the takeaway from a new report by Carbon Black, which surveyed 20 CISOs of leading healthcare organizations.
Most executives (83 percent) have seen increased cyberattacks in the past year. Two-thirds say they've been targeted by a ransomware attack; one-third have encountered instances of island hopping, in which hackers go after affiliates in a company's supply chain.
Compared with other industries, the data from hospitals, insurers, pharmacies and a widening array of IoT devices is particularly valuable.
"Cyberattackers have the ability to access, steal and sell patient information on the dark web," says Rick McElroy, who heads security strategy for Carbon Black. "Beyond that, they have the ability to shut down a hospital's access to critical systems and patient records, making effective patient care virtually impossible."
Indeed, the report found nearly half (45 percent) of surveyed CISOs have encountered attacks where the primary motivation was destruction of data.
Poor preparation could play a role. Although most healthcare facilities (84 percent) train their staff in cybersecurity best practices at least yearly, only one-third have a threat-hunting team. The report also notes that the letter grade CISOs most commonly use to grade their organizations' cybersecurity posture is a C.

This was Logan's first day of school last September. That smile was the first of a million more to come.
Prior to this, since his diagnosis at 19 months, he had been in a creche, had home tuition and attended 2 different ASD units in 2 years… and none of them worked.
He was miserable, aggressive, often violent and not learning anything. He barely did a full day let alone a full week.
When he was diagnosed with a severe intellectual disability last April we knew he needed somewhere that could offer more help.
After 3 years of heartache we finally got him where he needed to be, an amazing special school with the most caring dedicated staff and all the facilities he needed.
Since September, he has absolutely thrived.
He is using Pecs independently.
He is horse riding.
He's toilet training.
He has a friend that he runs around and plays with. I'm told they catch hands and chase each other.
Sensory aversions have always prevented Logan from taking part in messy or music play … now he sits for circle singing time every morning and last week he played with paint on his hands and tolerated it.
Every morning we have to wait until the bus enters the estate before dressing him. When you say the word school his face lights up and he runs to the door.
If the bus is late he follows us around with his bag and coat.
I have seen the changes in him since he found this place.
He is happy. He is settled. But most importantly, he is doing what I was told he never would, and that's learning.
Simply put… HE LOVES THIS SCHOOL.
Logan is 5, and because he doesn't turn 6 until November, he was guaranteed a second year of preschool as he would still only be 5 when that year started. I had his name on the waiting list for the main school before he even started so the plan was 2 years in preschool and then onto the main school where he could stay until 18… if hopefully a place came up.
I thought we were sorted.
Today I've been told that's all about to end.
He doesn't have a place in his school in September.
The department of education.
Their reason?
That they are a enforcing a policy that has apparently always been in place and I should have never been told he'd get two years. That if a child that is turning 6 that year they cannot be in preschool.
The most ridiculous part of that argument, is that there is a boy in his class who is 6 and a half years old as we speak. But I was told this was in error and wouldn't be repeated. I've since heard of at least 10 more kids that are in preschool and all that age.
I just don't get it. Why would my Logan be any different?
I was advised this week to appeal the decision.
I appealed with an email that was a mile long, detailing his past and how far he has come, and today that was refused. By a line manager, and again by her manager.
And there's nothing they can do.
I can't believe in this day and age I even have to write that. A child, who has autism and a severe intellectual disability cannot continue on in the school that was built to cater for kids just like him.
Now I'm a reasonable person. If he's too old for preschool, by all means move him on.
But surely the solution is to move him to a school.. not send him home for a year or possibly two if we're lucky and hope after that time a place becomes available.
And offering home tuition is not a solution. Even though they act like it is, it isn't.
When he was doing home tuition before he screamed and cried in one room while I hid in another. He learned nothing, he attacked his tutor every day and she often left in tears because she knew she couldn't help him.
The entire time was heartbreaking, stressful and utterly pointless.
I swore I'd never put us through that again. I certainly didn't think I'd need to look at it 4 years later.
The Department like to offer home tuition as an alternative to school. Here's what they don't tell you.
They'll fund it, that's the easy part, but you have to find the tutor.
Trying to find a qualified tutor who happens to be a member of the teaching council, but isn't already working in a school is practically impossible. And I'd need someone experienced in both autism and intellectual disabilities.
If you do find someone how exactly do they expect Logan to sit for 4 hours a day and learn like he does in school in his own house?
Where his toys are.
Where his swings and trampoline and dog is.
Where the TV and the iPad is.
Where his Mommy is.
Home tuition won't help. I'll tell you what having him home will do.
It'll delete everything we have worked so hard to achieve.
It'll regress every milestone and achievement the staff in the school worked so hard to get from him.
And it'll remove any hope of him reaching his potential.
It's not feasible, or even an option here.
It's not the answer.
School is the answer.
The right place.
Those are the answers to unlocking Logan's potential.
He may never read or write but he'll learn other things. Life skills like dressing, feeding, toileting and maybe someday even speech.
He deserves that chance.
He deserves to be around other kids and in an environment that can help him. We finally found that and now it's gone.
I don't understand how this is fair.
Even if I wanted to place him somewhere else now I can't.
Of the 5 special schools in Cork, 2 are full for the next 2 years at least, and the other 2 he cannot even apply for. For the first one, he is too severe and for the second, because he has a dual diagnosis of ASD and ID which they do not accept.
Today I applied for the last one… even though it's over an hour away and we are the bottom of the list. I'm not holding my breath but I had to apply.
What's my alternative? What choice do I have?
Am I not entitled to have my son leave for school in the morning and enjoy a few hours to myself before he comes home?
Having Logan continue on in a school is as much a safety issue as it is an educational one. Since he started there we have not had any incidents with him being violent in the school and these have reduced dramatically at home too.
Logan absolutely thrives on routine and even a day off for a bank holiday results in absolute chaos. There is no way it is feasible to have him at home for a year. I could not place him in the care of a stranger who he could physically harm and would do without question. I would not be able explain to him why Kirsty is leaving on her bus each morning, and he no longer is and I have no doubt he would become extremely violent towards myself and Kirsty if he has no placement.
If he cannot attend a school then he will spend 12 months at home doing nothing. I am not qualified to carry on his learning.
My own mental health suffered drastically over the last 3 years trying to get Logan what he needed. It has taken a huge toll on our family and I do not want to go back to that stress and torment of having him home all day. Having 2 kids with special needs is extremely hard on me as a stay at home mom and I need that school break from the kids to function and be the best mother for them. I don't have family nearby to help me when Logan has meltdowns and my husband's job is in Ringaskiddy, over an hour away. In the last 4 years I had a spinal fusion surgery on my back to remove 3 discs, and a knee replacement to remove a giant cell tumour from my knee, so my physical strength has been compromised and as Logan is quite a big strong child it's very tough for me to restrain him when he lashes out. I can no longer lift him.
Is it fair that I'll have to see him cry and scream when Kirsty leaves for school every morning and know he'll never understand why he can't go. And be attacked repeatedly out of his frustration?
If you pulled a normal child out of school for a year I'm pretty sure you'd be charged with neglecting them… but kids with special needs, yes send them home , they'll be fine.
He is being denied an education and why?
Because he can't talk.
Because his mind works differently.
Because he has special needs.
How can a country do this to their own?
How can they deny an education to those who need it the most?
How can they do this to my innocent boy?
I am utterly devastated.😔

MJSA honored two products—a nanoceramic e-coating and an automated wax injection system—with its annual Thinking Ahead Awards.
Now in its eighth year, the awards program recognizes products that are making a difference in the way jewelry is manufactured and sold. An international panel of independent judges selected the winners.
The judges this year selected Kliar, an e-coating developed by the Legor Group, an international supplier of alloys, tools, equipment, and plating technology based in Bressanvido, Italy. Kliar enables jewelry makers and designers to easily add vibrant colors to both precious and base metals. It also can serve as a tarnish inhibitor.
"The Kliar process seems to exhibit significantly greater tarnish resistance than other existing processes," said judge James Binnion, of James Binnion Metal Arts in Bellingham, Wash., in a statement. "Given the ongoing increase in metals prices, this will help silver gain more customer acceptance, as tarnish is one of the main negative issues with some consumers."
The judges also honored the Etype automated wax injection system developed by Hod Hasharon, Israel's Castel Technologies. The system features a motorized conveyor belt that brings bar-coded molds to an injection station where they are automatically filled with wax based on computerized parameters.
"The equipment is great for large manufacturers, as it can replace multiple technicians with one person," said judge Chris Ploof of Chris Ploof Studio in Pawtucket, R.I., in a statement. "It's also great for small manufacturers, allowing one person to do the work of several."
The winners of the Thinking Ahead Awards will be honored at a special ceremony during the 2012 MJSA Expo New York trade show, March 11–13 at the Hilton New York in New York City. For more information, visit mjsa.org or call 800-444-MJSA (6572).Follow JCK on Instagram: @jckmagazine

ARE THESE RELATED WORDS? Natsar & Nazir -- A Crash Study THE WORD "NATSAR"
There is usually some initial confusion with the words Natsar and Nazir. The original Hebrew for "Nazarene" is based on the root "natsar", and means to watch -- this is because the area around the burg Natsareth was named for it, hence the word "Gennetsaret" (vale of Netsar) -- referring to the whole district. "Natsarith" as it is sometimes transliterated, was a community with a view. It was built on a hilltop. Natsarith's root word, Natsar, points to the fact that the town was situated on high ground, and provided a panoramic view of the surroundings. It was an absolutely lovely place to grow up.
The "brow of the hill" which Yahushua's town-folk tried to throw Him over gave the name to the town itself. Natsareth (natsar, the root) hence means "watchtower", and Natsare-nes are by extension "watchmen", but this also fulfills the prophecies of Yesh Yahu 11:1, and Zec. 6:12. In these places, the change in vowels forms the root "netser", meaning "branch"; it's a kind of synonym, like any word with two meanings, but the same spelling. "He shall be called a Natsarene (Mt. 2:23) refers to the verses above, but it is not a direct quote as we are led to believe. This synonym (word spelled the same) forms a play-on-words: "netser", meaning "branch", and "natsar", meaning "to watch". So, we can be called branches, and watchmen for this reason. Remember Ya-hushua said, "I am the vine, you are the branches" (Yahuchanon 15:5).
The original followers of Yahushua were known as "Natsarim", because you'll see "sect of the Nazarenes"written in your translations at Acts 24:5.
From the same chapter 31 of Yerme Yahu (Jeremiah) where the promised New Covenant is located, there are the words,
"There will be a day when WATCHMEN will cry out on the hills of Ephraim" (31:6) --
referring to one of the 10 lost tribes whom Yahushua was sent to, among these, some are "Natsarim" (like me); and He is finishing that mission through His Natsarim today. The word "watchmen" is from the same root, Natsar, from which we derive the words Natsareth, Gennetsaret, and Natsarim. Technically, we should not use a letter "z" in "Nazarene", because the letter is a tsadee, or "ts" sound -- and it confuses the word with nazir, which uses a zayin (z). HOW CAN WE CALL OURSEL VES "NATSARIM"? (see Acts 24:5)
Our "physical" (fleshly) origins count for nothing; we become children of YHWH by our decision to obey Him, and this shows not only our love for Him, but also it is evidence to all around us Who we serve, and Whose children we are. If we are immersed into the Name of Yahushua, and pronounce our belief in His resurrection while trusting in His blood atonement, we are Natsarim. Very early, the term "Natsarim" became replaced with the gentile term "Christians". There is more to learn about this transition, and a matter for another study. "Jesus Christ" is a man-made fabrication; "Yahushua Mashiach" is simply the order the phrase takes, because "Mashaich" is Ya-hushua's title, not His "last name". Mashiach refers to His being anointed, the Sovereign of Israel (all 12 tribes). Shaul and Dawid were also "Mashiach" YHWH's "anointed". THE WORD "NAZIR"
By contrast, the "vow" of the "Nazirite", is just based on an ancient tradition which became an institution at Num 6:1-21. The root of the word is "nazir", having distinctly different Hebrew letters: nazir = nun, zayin, yod, resh; natsar = nun, Tsadee, resh. The word nazir means "consecrated", similar to the word "qodesh". The oath or vow of the Nazirite is for a specific period of time, and can be taken by anyone provided they offer the prescribed offerings at Num. 6:1-21 -- but this is going to be very difficult without the Lewitical priesthood, Temple, Altar, and so on! It would also seem that Nazir (Nazirite) vows can be just annunciated by our lips, hence Yahushua's strong advice to be careful what we say, or vow! He recommends NOT to do it (for the average person). The person who takes a Nazirite vow is set-apart to YHWH for the period specified. So, the words are completely dissimilar.
I hope this clears up some of the haze at least. Don't worry, it is quite normal to make this association between the two words,
Natsarim and Nazirite. I didn't even open the "Greek" can-of-worms here, it only makes things more confusing. We can become a "Natsarene" because we follow Yahushua, the founder of our sect. Paul was a member of the sect of the Pharisees, but became a Natsarene also -- he still considered himself a Pharisee as well. Except for the "adding" (leavening) of the rules of the Pharisees, and their outward showing of hypocritical righteousness, Yahushua was very much in agreement with the general pattern of the Pharisees, apart from their "oral law".
They were the original Hebrew and Gentile converts who followed Yahushua, and so were called NATSARIM. You'll find that Shaul (Paul) was called a "ringleader" of the sect of the Natsarim at Acts 24:5. The true religion of the Messiah, His real Name, His mission, and what His followers' sect was called are facts being re-discovered today by thousands of diligent seekers. Born a Yahudi (Jew), He is of a different tribe than Shaul (Paul), who was a Ben-yamite. But, neither of them are Catholic, Baptist, Anabaptist, Amish, or lived as any sort of Christian today. Yahushua is the High Priest of the religion of Abraham, Yitshaq, and Ya'aqob; He obeys the 10 Commandments of the Elohim of Israel, hwhy, and so do those who follow Him. Would He really tell you that the Sabbath was made for man, then change what day is the Sabbath? Is it possible His Name isn't "Jesus", and He's more like a Jewish Rabbi? Scholars know He never heard anyone call Him "Jesus", it's just tradition that allows this to continue, and it is the result of several intermediate languages' corruptions of His true Name.
Why does your translation of Scripture mention the Name "YHWH" in the preface, but substitute the English word "LORD" for it in the text? If the letter "J" is less than 500 years old, why use it in the Name "Jesus"? Isn't His real Name more like Y'shua, Yeshua, Yahshua, or Yahushua? To call Him "Yeh-soos" or "Yeh-zeus" may not be very good, considering "soos" is Hebrew for "horse", and of course you know who "zeus" is . . . . this Pagan name was used in many name-endings like Tarsus, Pegasus, Dionysus, Parnassus, etc., to honor Zeus phonetically. The Greek name endings like sus, sous, and seus were employed to give honor to "Zeus". "Sus" in Latin means "pig". The Latin Deus and Greek Zeus sounded the same, because D and Z were both joined in a "DZ" sound.
When the "anti-messiah" appears on the scene, don't you imagine most people will be expecting someone named "Jesus", because they were programmed this way? Our Creator is now sealing His people with His TRUE NAME in their foreheads. You will discover facts about the beast system, and that there is a correlation between Nimrod, Pharaoh, Caesar, Dalai Lama, and the Pope. Is the Pope the "false prophet"? Is Washington D.C. the new "Babylon"? Prove to yourself what name the anti-messiah will come in, so you can identify him when he appears.
Overcome the deception the whole world is in, but remember to stay balanced. YHWH doesn't wish us to be ignorant, but if we use our knowledge for unloving outcomes and goals, we have failed. We are not to judge people, only Yahushua may do so; judging another's servant is not a wise thing to do. We are all learning at different rates, growing in wisdom and understanding, but at different places in the race.
I have several encyclopedic dictionaries, and each has over 1900 pages; there's not one footnote in them. Can they be trusted? I hope so, but like you reading this book, I'll be looking at other sources to check up on things. Sometimes people change and move closer to the Truth; other times, they move farther away from it. Check this:
Anabaptist A member of one of the radical movements of the Reformation that insisted that only adult baptism was valid and held that the Christians should not bear arms, use force, or hold government office. Name means "one who is re-baptized". Greek, ana = again + baptein = to dip.
Mennonite A member of a Protestant Christian sect opposed to baptism, taking oaths, holding public office, or performing military service. German Mennoit, after Menno Simons (1492-1559), religious reformer.
Amish An orthodox US Anabaptist sect that separated from the Mennonites in the late 17th century. German, amisch, after Jacob Amman, 17th century Swiss Mennonite bishop.

Be blessed and prosper,
We are often the last to hear what we say to ourselves. We often repeat certain things for so long that we have accepted them as reality. Fish see water last as that old saying goes.
Yesterday I was working at my other job. I dropped something and the cap broke so I informed my manager. She tried to fix it as I had which did not work. The product was still good but not able to be sold to the buying public. She asked me if I wanted it. Out of my mouth without even thinking came these words: "It doesn't seem right that I should be rewarded for breaking something." That was obviously an unconscious rote belief that was running me.
I didn't drop it or break it on purpose. Each of us in the department drop things from time to time. Sometimes product containers break and sometimes they don't. My conscious mind then kicked into gear internally. That product was on my purchase list to try. However, I still couldn't accept it by allowing myself to speak up and change those words.
Later, being the coach I am, I started to examine where else in my life that limiting belief may be causing problems in my life. I obviously learned that belief in my youth at some point.
Do you have that belief? Do you think you can't receive what you would like because of perceived mistakes or imperfections? On the flip side, do you blame others for your own choices – conscious or unconscious? Those ways of thinking and being represent a fixed mindset and limited possibilities.
What if everything is an opportunity for growth and learning? What if a test score or test results are not meant to be emblazoned tattoos on one's forehead that must be borne throughout life? Conversely, what if stellar scores are not meant to be used as coasters but rather as benchmarks instead? What if we are all meant to have a little of both from time to time in life to further our joy, growth and progress?
Everything you want in and for your life requires that you are able to receive it in body, mind and spirit: own it, be grateful for it and know you are already worthy of it. God created you as an already worthy co-creator and flows through you every moment of every day.
How good a receiver are you? Do you act on opportunities and ideas with gratitude as though you already believe in and embody positive results?

I hope to meet you soon,
I met a woman in a health store this morning who was looking for natural solutions for lice for her grandchild. She was also confused about which of the many natural solutions would be most effective. The store representative with whom she was dealing told her a brief answer that the products were the same. This was a true statement. However, the questions she wasn't asking were implied in her inability to make a decision about which product to purchase.
Being knowledgeable about many natural solutions, I politely chimed in on the differences in the products and things to be mindful of when administering them to her grandchild. She said that her grandchild goes to an affluent day care; she had never experienced lice before in her entire life and didn't understand how this could happen. I explained that socio-economic status made no difference any longer to the bugs and bacteria that are becoming stronger due to all the pesticides and chemicals being used. This is the world in which we now temporarily reside. She understood, thanked me and told the store rep to give her the option that was most cost-effective.
For that woman, the health of her grandchild came first and then the money came second. However, she couldn't make a decision until she understood the issues at play.
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives,
nor the most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is most adaptable to change."
– Philippe De Clermont
Humans are also experiencing growth and survival challenges as are many species. That brings me to why it is so important to be who we each came here to be. Each and every one of us have gifts we must bring forth. We are here to contribute in some way; first by being true to ourselves.
I believe most of us are born knowing our connection to the Divine and the innate power of that creative force that flows through us and all around us. I also believe that somewhere along the way in Earth's history people began to unlearn that connection. Over time that turned into systems of belief and operating. We are here to remember who we are divinely. Being human, with all its potential frailties, is part of the process.
What I have come to realize is that life for many of us follows this pattern:
God made everything and everyone. Therefore, we are all part of the One as a drop of ocean water is part of the entire ocean. Modern scientific research has found that our feelings send energy into the wholeness of being. Therefore, we each contribute to creation of the collective whole with our own feelings.
"The feeling is the prayer."
God gave us each free will and the ability to focus. Intuition is your GPS connection to Source energy/God as self. The breath is your connection to your Soul.
"When you trust yourself, you will know how to live."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
One of the tricks in life is learning to tell the difference between fear and intuition. If you have a fixed belief system about something, it is tougher to distinguish between fear and intuition. The differences are very subtle and unique to the individual.
You must often unlearn, reframe and let go of habits that stand between your gifts and what you want to achieve in your life. Peeling the onion so to speak can take lifetimes. An easier way can be to act as if as actors do. Decide what you want and keep moving toward it. Play the part, train for the role of your life, and feel the feelings of having it. Send that out into the collective and then pay attention to serendipity.
Do you or your child need some coaching? Athletes have a coach because they want to improve their game and win. The most important game to win is the game of life.
Contact us now to schedule a complimentary coaching session. firstname.lastname@example.com
What is on your list to do this year? Did you set a resolution? Did you swear 1, 5 or 10 years ago that you would eat healthfully and work out regularly; write that book; change your career? Make 2016 the year you finally accomplish your thing.
Statistics tell us most people stick with their New Year's resolutions for about 30 days or less. What statistics neglect to inform is there is always more to the story and you are not a statistic.
Did you know that there is a space between setting the intention and turning to an unsuccessful habit pattern? You must become aware of that space and what triggers you to revert backward. Once you identify the pattern and why you created it, you are free to change your behavior. I can help you.
One of my clients was "trying" to eat healthier and loose excess weight. Her doctor finally gave her a wake-up call. I informed her that I too had once briefly weighed close to what she does. She was shocked since I now range between a size 6 and 8 depending on the stress in my life.
After a little coaching, she told me that chocolate bars are her downfall whenever she is stressed or hungry. She has a very busy life, demanding job, husband and 3 children. She said she likes the feeling of the chocolate.
Dopamine rush aside, I explained to her that there is a space between setting the intention and reaching for the chocolate. I told her to notice what comes up in that space.
She immediately got it. She told me when and why she began that habit.
While the details are too personal to share with you in her very powerful example, I can tell you that her realization was profound. I shared some personal and spiritual perspectives and examples with her to help ease her pain.
I told her she must feel the feelings that come up in that space rather than shove them down. Then she will be free to move forward to create and stick with new habits that support the results she desires.
Food was the vehicle of choice to escape feeling the pain in her life. Your vehicle of choice might be something different.
The toughest thing for humans to move through is change. The irony is that change and growth are the only constants. Wouldn't you rather consciously steer your ship to your desired destination?
Athletes have a coach because they want to win. The most important game to win is the game of life. If you would like to accelerate your progress, contact me for a consultation.
Make 2016 a fabulous year. You deserve it.
To your success!
Cheryl Healey
Do you have a success process? If you have one, can you write it down? Does it work every time?
I created a class a few years ago to help participants discover their own unique success process. Feedback told me that most people didn't realize that what they do and how they do it equals successful results.
Confidence is a state of mind.
It is said that self-confidence is a skill. It is a skill that takes practice. Until you have enough examples in your memory banks of resourcefulness and success on a given topic, you tend not to feel confident. Your unconscious mind wants to keep you in your comfort zone where it feels safe but often confused on how to succeed.
However, God puts the dreams and visions in your heart. If you weren't born with the potential to accomplish your dreams, why would God/consciousness put them there in the first place? God has a plan and you are part of that plan. You are the only one who can stop you and you are the only one who can move forward.
In other words, you only have confidence if the task is not new to you. Practice is the only thing that will build confidence and greater skills.
Life is a class here in Earth School. Like it or not you will always be taking one or more classes for personal growth. Either you get on board with your growth or life will give you an unexpected push. It's much more empowering to be decisive and prepared in advance.
So let's say you make a decision to grow in a certain area of your life. That's where a like-minded individual or a coach can be of great benefit to keep you on track.
Once you become one with the outcome you desire, there is a mindset shift inside you.
"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals." – Henry Ford
8 Tips for Staying Focused and Confident:
Confidence is a state of mind and practice keeps you in that location.
To your success!
Enjoy infinite blessings,

On 22 May, the far right candidate for Austria's presidency, Norbert Hofer, was defeated by the narrowest of margins.
Hofer, candidate of the "Freedom Party", stood on a strident anti-migrant platform, and was way ahead of other candidates in the first round of the presidential election on 24 April. He scored 35.1%.
Alexander Van der Bellen, a veteran ex-Green running as an independent, who rallied a range of support to defeat Hofer on the second round, got 21.3% on the first.
The candidates of the two parties which completely dominated Austrian politics for decades after World War 2, and governed in permanent coalition from 1945 to 1966 — the Social Democrats and the conservative People's Party — got just 11.3% and 11.1% respectively.
The "Freedom Party" (FPÖ) was founded in 1956 with former Nazis in its leadership, but then tacked towards presenting itself as a mainstream pro-free-market party. After 1986, with Jorg Haider as leader, it veered sharply to the populist right and gained support.
By 1999 it was up to 27% of the vote, and was accepted by the People's Party into a coalition government. (The presidency, in Austria, is usually ceremonial). Other EU countries introduced sanctions against Austria, and stated that "the admission of the FPÖ into a coalition government legitimises the extreme right in Europe."
FPÖ support declined for a while, but has risen again now, after the 2008 economic crash and conflict over refugees. Marxist academic Moishe Postone, who has recently been working in Vienna, told Solidarity that what was for many decades "Red Vienna" — one of the most solidly social-democratic cities in the world — has now become "red-green" in the better-off inner suburbs, and "red-blue" in the poorer outer districts.
Blue is the colour of the FPÖ. According to exit polls cited by the BBC, Hofer swept 86% of the manual working-class vote.
The Austrian socialist group RSO, backing a protest on 19 May against the rise of the FPÖ, wrote: "The FPÖ is no workers' party. It is the most radical representative of the Austrian elites. We need not brutal and inhuman rabble-rousing, but solidarity in order to fight for our rights.
"Not the hypocritical cohesion of the nation against the alleged threat from outside, but the joining-together of all the workers and unemployed, of whatever origin, against the big bosses and the party bureaucrats".

Pete's Dragon Coloring Sheets & More is brought to you by Disney and all opinions are mine!
Growing up Pete's Dragon was one of my favorite movies! It's funny because I remember not caring much for movies that mixed cartoon and real life very much but for whatever reason, I adored Pete's Dragon. I would watch it again and again and as I explored the world around me I hoped that I might one day find a dragon of my own.
I can't wait to share this magic and unique friendship with my own children in the new updated version of Pete's Dragon now out on DVD! To help celebrate the release I am sharing a fun activity pack with Pete's Dragon coloring sheets along with some clips from the movie!
I hope you and your family enjoy this movie as much as I have over the years. Oh and if you get the chance, make sure they watch the 1977 version as well, you know so they can see how far we've come! 😉
These are some of the coloring sheets you can get in the Pete's Dragon Activity pack along with door hangers, spot the difference puzzles, and a memory game!
You can purchase the New DVD here!

About Pete's Dragon:
"Pete's Dragon," a reimagining of Disney's cherished family film centered on an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot — who just so happens to be a dragon — comes home on Nov. 29 on Digital HD, Blu-ray™, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand.
Families will be captivated by this magical movie followed by never-before-seen bonus features, including a revealing look at director David Lowery's personal diary kept during the filming of "Pete's Dragon," the design process behind the lovable dragon Elliot, deleted scenes, a tour of the film's breathtaking production location of New Zealand, audio commentary by filmmakers and actors and hilarious bloopers.
Pete's Dragon Stars:
"Pete's Dragon" stars Bryce Dallas Howard ("Jurassic World") as Grace, a forest ranger in the Pacific Northwest who happens upon 10-year-old Pete, played by Oakes Fegley ("This is Where I Leave You"). Oona Laurence ("Southpaw") is Natalie, the 11-year-old daughter of Jack, a lumber-mill owner played by Wes Bentley ("The Hunger Games"). Karl Urban ("Star Trek") is Jack's bumbling brother Gavin and Oscar®-winner Robert Redford ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier") portrays Mr. Meacham, an old wood carver who delights the local children with tales of a fierce dragon.
The film is directed by David Lowery ("Ain't Them Bodies Saints") from a screenplay by Lowery & Toby Halbrooks based on a screenplay by Malcolm Marmorstein and produced by Jim Whitaker, p.g.a. ("The Finest Hours"), with Barrie M. Osborne ("The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring") serving as executive producer.
Writer/director Lowery reveals, "I look back on childhood as an adventure, and I wanted to capture that on screen in the smallest—but also the biggest—way." The big—the creation of an irresistible 24-foot tall, green, furry dragon that can breathe fire and turn invisible—is brilliantly tackled by the team at the Academy Award®-winning visual effects company Weta Digital ("The Hobbit" films and "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy). But it's the small moments between characters that so beautifully convey the film's powerful message: the importance of friendship, family and finding one's place in the world.

4 Differences Between Parenting My First Baby and My Fourth
Over the years, I've definitely changed as a mother.
I'd like to think I've grown older and wiser, more Martha Stewart-y (minus the prison part), and definitely more patient.
But when it comes right down to it, I know the truth about my evolution as a mother. It has a lot less to do with any of my own abilities and everything to do with the children that I have been blessed with. With four of them in my life, I have to say that there are a few differences from how I parented my first child to how life is now with my fourth baby, such as …
I put her down more.
With my first baby, I literally never wanted to put her down. Not only did I simply love holding her, but I just wanted to soak up every single minute of her babyhood. Sometimes I would even refuse to let other people hold her at family gatherings simply because I couldn't bear to be parted from her. I held her so much, in fact, that my first baby never even crawled — she went from snuggling in my arms to walking all in one week.
Now, with my fourth baby, I still try to soak up every moment of her babyhood, but I've also learned that letting her explore the world in places other than my arms is not only necessary because I have other kids to care for, but it may offer her some advantages. She's more content being with other people, and she's seeing new things from the comfort of her play mat. It's a different experience for both of us.
I trust my instincts more.
When it comes to the "burning" questions of early motherhood — the breastfeeding vs. formula, the vaccinations, the attachment or cry-it-out — I've learned to tune out the voices of the rest of the world (for the most part) and trust my instincts on what feels right for me and my family.
{ MORE: You Don't Have to Complain About Your Kids to Be a #RealMom }
I understand that even babies have personalities.
It may sound silly, but it took me a while to realize that babies, like adults, are all different. Some like to be held 24/7, some enjoy exploring on their own, some have colic and won't allow their mothers to drink any type of coffee, and some wouldn't even bat an eye if she guzzles the whole carafe. Moral of the story? Sometimes, it's easier to just hang back and let the baby take the lead.
{ MORE: The FDA Warns Against Teething Gels - What Can Desperate Parents Do? }
I don't take a break from her.
Ha! Bet you weren't expecting that one, were you? Popular mom advice will tell you that with more kids, you learn to take more breaks, you're OK with just living in the moment and not snapping pictures every five seconds, and that, sometimes, you have to place yourself first.
But out here in the real world, I know that my time with my baby as a baby is fleeting and honestly, right now, with four kids and work, I'm not getting a lot of breaks. There are a lot of factors at play, namely a baby who won't take a bottle and not a lot of sitter access, but for the most part, I am looking at the next nine months of my life as some quality mother-and-daughter bonding time.
For me, exerting the energy to take a "real" break from her just isn't possible for more than an-hour-or-so increments, so instead, I focus on some smaller ways to recharge — escaping to exercise, being OK with letting her fuss for a minute at night time, and shamelessly having her older siblings hold her while I gulp down an actual hot cup of coffee. I know, the horror.

Transportation & Aviation
Making Transportation & Aviation safer
The Aviation and Transport industries are constantly facing an array of new emerging threats that can have a huge impact on not only the operational landscape, but the organisation as a whole. Regulatory requirements in combination with rapid changes in technology and automation, introduces an increase in complexity and intricate system interdependencies.
A growing number of stakeholders are becoming involved to meet these challenges, often resulting in fragmented and time-consuming processes.

How do you ensure quality deliveries?
In accordance with our ISO 9001 certification, we have developed a well-defined quality assurance methodology.

Our business continuity and crisis management methodology also follows the international standards ISO 22301 and BS 11200.
How long is a typical project?
For implementation of our software platform Exonaut® we have developed a rapid implementation process where we usually go-live within 6-12 weeks of project start-up, although the time needed will depend on the client's existing systems that require integration.
A project involving business continuity and crisis management training and exercises usually takes 2-6 months. However, we also have long-term client partnerships that entail program reviews, GAP-analyses, bench-marking comparisons, as well as multi-sector training and exercise programs spanning several years. We tailor all of our projects to the needs of each specific client, from local municipalities to major multinational companies, airports, rail companies and the armed forces.
How does a software platform help my organisation with our readiness?

How often should an aviation or transportation organisation carry out crisis management exercises?
Having delivered projects to aviation and transportation clients for over a decade, we have a comprehensive understanding of regulatory requirements, emerging threats, and sector-specific best practice. How often you should exercise is dependent on the size and type of the organisation and sector-specific risks. Generally, the crisis management teams of a small to mid-size organisation should exercise at least once a year in order to keep their capability to respond effectively to major events. Larger and more complex organisations tend to require more frequent trainings and exercises.
What is the difference between a tabletop exercise and a simulation exercise?
A tabletop exercise carried out as round-table discussions focused on the impact of different scenarios and decision-making procedures. This exercise is meant to be a learning experience for newly formed crisis management teams or somewhat immature organisations. The exercise is designed to be an informal meeting and the target audience is encouraged to react and openly discuss the issues that arise from of the scenario. This type of exercise is suitable for organisations that have not previously exercised or that simply need to develop new plans and strategies.
Simulation exercises, on the other hand, are carried out 'live' with roles and responsibilities acted out in real-time, in order to practice managing incidents in a more realistic setting. During simulation exercises the target audience reacts to realistic events that are gradually introduced by exercise managers. Compared to a tabletop exercise, where the scenario is presented via PowerPoint or printed hand-outs, simulation exercises are more advanced as the scenario is simulated via phone calls, fake press conferences and media injects (YouTube-clips, social media postings, etc.). The simulation exercise allows for a higher degree of training and verification but it also requires more resources and advanced planning.
Distributed simulation exercises allow for the simultaneous testing of scenarios and incident management at several locations. A distributed exercise often focuses on communication and coordination across time and space and allows for complex and pressing demands to be simulated in a highly realistic manner.
How can our consulting and software solutions assist with regulatory demands in the aviation and transportation sectors?
As new safety, security and quality assurance risks emerge; regulatory authorities are imposing new, increasingly onerous compliance obligations on the aviation and transportations sectors. For example, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has introduced extensive incident reporting requirements in order for European airports to receive and maintain their certification status. Our Exonaut® compliance tracking and reporting tool may cut down the time and cost of meeting regulatory demands and help you stay up-to-date on new developments.
What types of crises do 4C Strategies work with?
Our model for structured crisis management can be used during any type of crisis. 4C Strategies has 20 years of experience in working with all types of crises, from reputational to operational and financial, with a particular recent need for cyber-related exercises.

Research Theme: Online Communities and the Dynamics of Distributed Innovation
Project Leaders: Professor Ammon Salter, Dr Martin Kilduff
Researchers: Dr Antoine Vernet, Dr Oliver Alexy
This theme examines distributed innovation in online communities that are responsible for many innovations, including software and services. They utilise a wide range of new information and communication technologies such as virtual worlds, message boards, wikis and social networking tools to solve problems, share ideas and informally develop products. What is missing is a deep understanding of how these communities emerge and evolve. Community members are often geographically dispersed and have to solve their problems using various communication technologies. In these situations the impetus for innovation shifts from the organisation to the network, where interactions between the actors forms a shared social structure where no one member of the group controls the network. For public and private organisations to work with these groups requires sustained coalitions of independent and autonomous individuals.
This project examines the pattern of emergence and evolution of these communities across different institutional domains. We will examine the following areas:
• What mechanisms drive and impel these communities?
• How are the rules of governance established?
• What impact do these have on communities diffusing innovation?
• How can we characterise and map motivations over time?
• What interventions act as stimuli for innovation in these communities?
We seek to understand how the power of online communities is shaped and harnessed to produce innovative outcomes and to develop best practice strategies for high-tech SMEs to access and develop sustainable business models based on specific sectoral innovation systems resulting from open innovation.

Venture capitalists continue investing heavily in U.S. startups at levels not seen since the dot-com era. A new quarterly report from Crunchbase shows total dollars invested reaching $32 billion in Q3.
"We remain in the thick of a venture capital bull market and expect to finish 2018 with record amounts of capital raised by startup companies," said Jeff Grabow, the U.S. venture capital leader at EY.
Overall deal volume is actually down, but total investment continues to rise in large part thanks to big later-stage deals, which accounted for 39 percent of last quarter's investment. There were 63 "mega-rounds," or those above $100 million, which was up from 49 in the previous quarter.
"The amount of capital available to companies is greater than we have ever seen," Grabow said. "We are in a cash bubble and it can be argued that there is almost too much money chasing too few deals."
Grabow added that this trend could create a "capital arms race," with traditional VC funds raising big growth funds of their own. Recent IPO activity — venture-backed IPOs in 2018 (87) already exceed last year's count (83) — will also "add fuel to the VC funding fire," Grabow said, increasing the number of companies going public and providing liquidity for investors.
Crunchbase data shows healthcare leading all sectors last quarter with $7.6 billion invested, followed by IT and software. Geographically, companies located in the Bay Area, New York, and Boston regions accounted for 72 percent of venture dollars invested.
Grabow said that the VC market "is a long cycle and it takes time to adjust, unlike a public market." He predicts that VC firms will continue to see strong results, driven by industry-wide investment themes (financial services, transportation, healthcare), the low cost of starting companies, and an abundance of available capital.

The unknown effects of the drugs involved in IVF could cause concern. How could anyone know what the possible implications would be 5 or 10 years down the track? And I began to wonder- could natural therapies such as Homeopathy help with the side-effects of fertility treatment or could it possibly help with the success rates?
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that uses highly diluted and potentised natural remedies that are gentle, safe and effective. Homeopathy has been used for over 200 years and is so safe it is one of the only forms of medicine that can be used with pregnant women and newborn babies.
I knew from my experience that homeopathy helped to balance hormones. I also knew that it could increase peoples feeling of well being. I also knew it made people feel better when they felt side-effects from synthetic hormonal medication such as the oral contraceptive pill (the pill). I had also treated many women who had needed help to increase their fertility naturally- by balancing their menstrual cycles and stimulating healthy ovulation.
So if homeopathy could do all of this, why not use it to help couples going through fertility treatment? So I started giving women homeopathic remedies to assist them throughout their fertility treatments. At first I was giving them remedies to help with the physical aspects of the treatment. But after time I started giving remedies to help with the emotional upheavals- which can be many- and so many couples have commented how much the remedies have helped.
Here are some examples of homeopathic remedies that can help with IUI & IVF-
Arnica 200- after Egg Collection, it helps to decrease feelings of bruising and soreness.
Sepia 200- after Embryo Transfer, it helps to balance hormones and with implantation of the embryo.
Pulsatilla 200- at any stage when you are feeling very emotional and unable to cope, you may want lots of reassurance and consolation from others.
Natrum Mur 200- at any stage when you are feeling irritable, a little overstretched and not wanting much fuss or consolation- you want to keep your feelings to yourself except for maybe one person close to you.
The above remedies are just a small example of what a few remedies can do. There are thousands of homeopathic remedies and many of them can help to balance hormones and help with many aspects of fertility. And homeopathy is also very useful in treating problems during pregnancy and is amazing when it comes to treating babies and small children.
I am no longer suspicious of fertility treatments. But I can see the enormous benefit to becoming as healthy as possible prior to the treatment and to using natural remedies such as homeopathy to help.
So if you are having or thinking about having fertility treatment such as IUI & IVF then don't overlook homeopathy to help an support the treatment.

Scientists, journalists, and communicators working outside of the United States and the UK face fundamentally different problems from those living within well-served media landscapes. For example: Canada has few science magazines, a couple television shows, and a handful of radio programmes aimed at a general science audience (with the exception of the French-speaking Quebec, which has a dynamic science writing community). Government funded research grants do not require outreach or education. And, government scientists have been all but barred from talking to journalists. In Canada and other countries with sparse science communication infrastructures, the dominant issues revolve not around journalists vs bloggers, or scientists vs press releases vs the media, but instead focus on what can be done to make science communication exist at all, in any form. This session will explore how scientists, educators, and media people can promote scientific discussions and scientific interest in regions that lack established venues.
- With no budget and no established venues, how would you share science in your community?
- With no magazines or science cafés to provide an audience, what other groups in your community might want to learn some science?
- What can scientists, journalists, writers and educators do to push media outlets for more and better science coverage?
- What might your local general news outlet expect of you if you approach or talk with them about science topics?

Social Media MLM And What The MLM Leaders Are Not Telling You…
Social Media MLM has become a very big conversation amongst MLM leaders world wide. Many believe that Social Media MLM has no place and only gives short term success, while others believe that it is the answer to the entire industry.
First we have the leaders who have been around for longer than 10 years, they built their businesses a certain way using different types of technology (a tape or CD or maybe even just a brochure). They believe that it worked for them in the past, and that is all anyone else should need as well. They see Social Media as a distraction and not a viable place of business. Not realising that they have been telling their MLM teams for years to make sure they are attending events, turn up at meetings and network at groups which all happen on social media, the MLM leaders of the past just don't know how.
I know this first hand, when I first started to look into Social Media I was turned off. I didn't want to look at it. Everyone seemed to be joining this thing called
"Facebook". When I looked at it, all I could see was a bunch of people putting up crazy photos, giving their opinion on stuff and not doing much else except gossiping. It looked like a total waste of time. So I can totally understand why MLM leaders would think this way. I have even seen many tell their teams that they shouldn't use it and that the people that are using it, don't really know what they are doing. (I want to add here, that at the time of me writing this article on Social Media MLM I am flying to Tahiti with a large group of my team, who ALL use Social Media MLM to build their businesses, they are the top people in our area and have proven this belief wrong. I am so proud of them).
Some of the old time MLM leaders don't truly understand it and because they don't understand Social Media, their fall back is to be negative towards it. Unfortunately, these leaders will find that if they don't start to change their thoughts around Social Media MLM they will lose their teams, their teams will be looking at others who are using it and having success, and they will want to join them because they are having more fun, winning more awards, changing more lives and doing big things.
They will look at their current MLM Leader and say
"no thanks, your old, not in age, but in opinion and you are holding me back. Instead of wanting to help me, you are caught up in your own perceptions that are wrong and I can not stand it any longer."
I have heard this many many times. Downline leaders from other teams complaining that their major upline leaders are not wanting to embrace Social Media MLM so they either give up or change teams. So to all of my compatriots out there, the ones that are major leaders who have not adopted Social media MLM you need to understand that if you don't, your business will stumble and fall.
Now lets look at the other group, the group that says Social Media is the salvation of the MLM Industry. To them I say "be careful" you are throwing the baby out with the bath water. Social media does not replace all the things that work within the MLM business, it enhances it. Social Media should just be another line in the pond or another quiver to the bow. You would be naive to think that it is all that is needed to build a MLM Business.
Social Media MLM helps you to add a crazy amount of people into your funnel and talk/chat to more people in a day, than most will talk to in a year, however it should NOT be the only thing that is trained within your team.
Sitting across from me in one of our amazing leaders. She is a grandma who successfully uses social media mlm and offline strategies like talking to the people she knows and the people she meets down the street about her business. She does more in homes than most and leads her team in an incredible way. (Yes I am so proud of her) What I am trying to say is that just using Social Media MLM in building your business will be a big mistake, you will miss many open doors and opportunities that are right in front of you.
The most important skill in MLM and Network Marketing is still the skill of working with people. You can take that same skill offline and online, it will work in both areas.
So What are my thoughts around Social Media MLM?
If you decide to go full on into Social Media MLM and neglect the offline component or if you decide to only do offline, either of these decisions is going to harm your future and what happens in your business. If you have a team, some will leave out of pure frustration, while others, the more loyal ones, will stay and never understand why they don't see the kind of success that they see other leaders achieving.
A little thought for leaders on Social Media MLM:
If you are a leader, can I suggest that you take these millennium strategies in your stride and do your best to understand them. They are not a replacement for what you and I both know works, instead they should be used as an "add on". If you become stubborn and decide that it has no place in the industry, you will get a name for being stubborn and pig headed. Your team will lose trust in your ability to lead them and help them achieve their dreams.
So what do you do?
Allow your teams who want to use Social Media MLM to use it and see if you can learn along with them. All the same stuff you know to be true will work online, it is still all about relationships and building a funnel of people to speak to. It still all about being positive and putting your best foot forward. Allow your team to grow, allow them to experience it and when they do something great or even good, make sure you celebrate it with them. Ask them if there is anything you can support them with, it may just be the 3 way calls or even 3 way chat lol… yes that happens… but be the supportive uplne. Don't bad mouth the people that are using Social Media MLM, it will go against you and impact you in a bad way.
Social Media MLM is here to stay, you can either embrace it or watch your team fall away and you lose any kind of authority and influence within your own organisation. I know that may sound harsh, but it is true.
Another idea is to suggest places they may be able to go to receive training. Be the instigator rather than the follower.

Guys, How's Your Health?
These tips can help you live long and well.
- Get routine medical and dental exams. Maintain a strong relationship with your providers.
- Sound sleep can help you feel your best and do your job well. It's also critical to building your body's defenses against infection, illness, and heart disease.
- Slather on sunscreen. Use a minimum 30 SPF outdoors to help prevent skin cancer and facial wrinkles.
- Don't ignore signs of depression. Ongoing worry, sadness and negative feelings can lead to insomnia and alcohol abuse.
- Add daily doses of fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. They're packed with vitamins and minerals. Check out the summer fruit bonanza below!
- Guard your heart. Keep your weight and blood pressure in check, and get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, each week. Get your health care provider's approval first if you're unaccustomed to exercise.
- Strength training keeps your muscles strong. It also helps manage or prevent many chronic health conditions, including arthritis and back pain. Get your provider's okay first if you have a chronic ailment.
- Spending time with family and friends can be as good for you as maintaining a healthy weight or being tobacco–free.
- Having 15 or more alcoholic drinks per week is heavy drinking, which can cause poor sleep, poor work, chronic health problems, and premature aging.
Summer Fruit Bonanza
Fresh, juicy fruits are the tastes of summer. Savor the best of the season by pairing fruit with your meals and snacks.
Pop some grapes and berries in the freezer—when blended, they're a makeshift ice cream. Grill pineapple and peaches on the barbecue, add berries to green salads and make fun fruit kabobs for the kids. Buy from farmers markets to see how wonderful fresh fruit tastes straight from the field.
Studies show that eating fruit helps keep cholesterol and blood pressure in check—key to heart health.
So the next time you crave a regular soft drink or a candy bar, grab some strawberries or peaches instead.
