Sure the DOW is up at levels we have not seen in a while, and people are getting quite excited and telling all their neighbors to get back into the markets. But Even though the DOW is back over the psychological number of 10,000 , in the grand scheme of things and measured in gold the DOW is significantly misplaced from where it should be.
FACT : you can’t the same amount of gold with stocks you own today than you could have a few months ago. People just dont realize that inflation is soon going to creep in, and we are already starting to see the warning signs.
People who are infact making money in the markets dont realize the illusion – they are getting poorer as their accounts with their brokers are increasing.
Central banks have you in a corner now, and there is no turning back. They keep printing money to pay off the scum banks that are so called “to big to fail”. This is devaluing the dollar to levels never seen before.
It is no good seeing the DOW go all the way to 30,000 when you see gold hit $5000 an ounce, Gas go to $8, and a coffee down at the local shop for $12. IS this going to happen, yes, but not in the short term.
While there is no way to guarentee you will survive there is always a way to make sure you can prepare for what is on the cards later down the track.

”I added this section to the site mainly because I believe men get a pretty rough deal when it comes to grooming and I want to make sure you all get the best advice I can find. I constantly find that women pick on men for either being too rough or taking care of themselves too much, and it adds just as much pressure for a man to look good as it does for women when they look at skinny models in magazines and feel they need to diet, so if you are a woman reading this (which you shouldn’t be) then ease up on your man he has feelings too. OK so shaving is a pretty standard task that takes place normally before work when you really cant be arsed, you splash some warm water on your face, slap some foam on your face and rip yourself to shreds with a Bic and end up sore and blotchy, but do you care? no of course you don’t you only woke up half an hour ago. I think most men including me need to go back to school when it comes to shaving and learn to do it properly because if its done right the results are far better and a bit of after care goes a long way.
Preparation:
I strongly believe that you should shave at night before bed just as you would wash and brush your teeth, the reason is that your face is more relaxed than first thing in the morning, and your concentration is better also shaving at night means you wont need to do it in the morning which means more time in bed. Before you reach for the razor it is worth prepping the face before a shave, use a pre shave wash like king of shaves, this helps cleanse the skin and get rid of any dirt before a shave.
Applying Foam or Gel:
It’s time to go back to how your grandad did it, using a shave brush is a brilliant way to shave, the brush acts as a mild exfoliant and brings the hairs up ready for shaving. Use a good gel or foam such as loreal for men or nivea and apply a good amount using the brush, work it into the face in a circular motion to help raise the hairs. Once you have a good even coating your ready for shaving.
The Shave:
By far the best way to shave is to use a cutthroat style razor they give an exceptionally close shave, but unless you visit a specialist barber that can do this for you it’s not very practical for everyday use, so instead use a good quality single blade razor, these fancy razors that offer 4 blades are in my opinion a waste of time and money. When shaving always go with the hair growth and never against it as this is what causes razor burn, going with the growth means you wont get sore and if your razor is of good quality you will get a very close shave.
AfterCare:
After you have finished shaving the aftercare is just as important as the shave itself, a good quality non fragranced moisturiser should be used on the face and neck, never use alcohol based liquids such as aftershave this will just inflame the skin. Below is a selection of products available on amazon which I think work well when shaving, try out shaving this way and i’m sure you will find it much better.

Generally speaking men fashion and men style is not just about the clothes you wear and looking good in them. Of course you must handpick those clothes that you feel you are comfortable with and if they are stylish it’s even better. Have confidence is the best advice anyone could give you related to your outfit and style. Here are some basic tips about men fashion and men style:
Smell good
Don’t overdo it . some nice fragrance that you like and wear it no matter it’s a rainy day or a sunny one. You will get compliments most of the time .
Shoes
There are more styles of shoes. Classic and trendy(fashion). It doesn’t matter which one you choose but a men with style and a little knowledge of fashion will always know what to chose for every piece of clothing he has.
Hair
We didn’t talk that much in previous posts about hair but you must give it full attention. Hair styling is not for everybody. If you see at TV some star with a nice haircut maybe it doesn’t fit you well like him. Try determine your face shape(round, oval etc..) and then see some hairstyles you like for that kind of face type.
Color picking
Men fashion and men style is not just about the types of clothing is about colors too. Don’t be afraid to wear colors that you like. If you like blue wear it as often as you can , it will look good on you. Be sure to wear at least 2 colors anytime you don’t want to look that plain and simple.
Designer pants and jeans
Yes I know maybe you don’t have money for a designer pair of jeans but at lest try getting something similar. The back pockets should make your but look hot , and the jeans should be skinny down the leg.
Accessories
Men’s accessories are really in high demand. The amount of accessories available for men’s today is just ridiculous. a nice watch , a skinny tie, some cufflinks don’t be embarrassed to wear these pieces. They are top men style class.
Shave
Shave often. A clean face will look nicer without all that facial hair.
I think these are some basic tips about men style and men fashion . Try at least to follow them every time and you should be more than fine.
This is the second article of the series:” The Wind in Bible versus Quran”.
The Bible says that the Almighty Creator 1) made the Winds His Angels, 2) His servants are flames of fire, 3) He has chariot, 4) He walks on the wings of wind and 5) He made the earth never moves etc. The Noble Quran says that Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes. Any form, picture, thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely mistaken.
===============================
The Wind in the Bible (2)
In Psalm 104:1-8, Kind David says:
“Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou art very great; You are clothed with honor and majesty: Who covers himself with light as with a garment; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain; Who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters; Who makes the clouds his chariot; Who walks upon the wings of the wind; Who makes winds his Angels; Flames of fire his servants; Who set the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved for ever. You cover it with the deep as with vesture; the waters stood above the mountains. At thy rebuke they fled; At the voice of your thunder they hasted away. They flowed over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.”
—————————-
Herein, there are some important points:
1) The Bible describes the lord God, the Almighty Creator as:
He has clothes
He covers himself with light as with a garment
He stretches out the heavens like a curtain
He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters
His chariot is made of clouds
He walks upon the wings of the wind
He makes winds his Angels
His servants are flames of fires
He set the foundations of the earth
His voice is the thunder
2) The Bible says that the earth has foundations and it should not be moved for ever.
3) The speed of the Lord God was that of the wind.
4) The wind has wings!
Moreover, there are some discrepancies in the translation of some words in the many versions of the Bible e.g.:
In some Bible’s versions, the word “Angel” is translated to “messenger”.
In some Bible’s versions, the word “wind” is translated to “spirit”.
In some Bible’s versions, the word “curtain” is translated to “tent”.
—————————-
On the other hand, all of the above points are ABSOLUTELY rejected in the Noble Quran because:
1) The Noble Quran says that Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes. Any form, picture, thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely wrong.
2) The Almighty Creator is not a body
3) The thunder is not the voice of the Almighty Creator.
4) When the Almighty Creator decides upon a matter, when He wants to do anything, He only says to it ‘Be!’ and it is.
5) The speed of the Lord God was that of the wind; for instance, does not He know the speed of the light? However, Naught is as Allah’s likeness in attributes.
6) The wind has no wings!
7) the Angels are created from the Pure Light.
the Angels are the servants of the Almighty Creator and they never disobey Him.
9) The earth has No foundations and it is rounded and it moves
10) The Great Prophet King David can not say that about the Almighty Creator simply because he knows better who Allah is.
—————————-
Aside from the Bible and the Quran, boys in schools know very well that the earth moves and it has two types of movements: the first one is around the sun at about 100,000 km/h. It takes 365 days (1 year/12 months) for the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun. and the other around itself. It takes 24 hours for the earth to spin around itself.
These two movements are responsible for the seasonal changes and the day and night respectively.
I really do not believe that the Lord God or King David says that the earth foundations and it should not be moved for ever. .
——————————————————————————————-
Psalm 104:1-8 in three different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2 He wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.
4 He makes winds his messengers, flames of fire his servants.
5 He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.
7 But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
8 they flowed over the mountains, they went down into the valleys, to the place you assigned for them.
King James Version
1Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
2Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:
3Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:
5Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
6Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
7At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
8They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.
Young’s Literal Translation
1Bless, O my soul, Jehovah! Jehovah, my God, Thou hast been very great, Honour and majesty Thou hast put on.
2Covering himself [with] light as a garment, Stretching out the heavens as a curtain,
3Who is laying the beam of His upper chambers in the waters, Who is making thick clouds His chariot, Who is walking on wings of wind,
4Making His messengers — the winds, His ministers — the flaming fire.
5He hath founded earth on its bases; It is not moved to the age and for ever.
6The abyss! as with clothing Thou hast covered it, Above hills do waters stand.
7From Thy rebuke they flee, From the voice of Thy thunder haste away.
8They go up hills — they go down valleys, Unto a place Thou hast founded for them.

The Wind in the Noble Quran (2)
In this article, the following three points will be discussed:
1) The Historical destructive wind as a Punishment for the disbelievers of the Ancient nation of Aad
2) What if Allah wants to do anything?
3) The Precious verse (faith-wise) of the Quran that describes the Almighty Creator
——————————————————————————————-
1) The Historical destructive wind as a Punishment for the disbelievers of the Ancient nation of Aad.
Verses 69:4-8 of the Noble Quran describe this destructive wind!
Historical Background:
Aad was an ancient nation. Aad nation is always mentioned in the Noble Quran as a nation that came after Noah. Allah sent his Prophet Hud to the people of Aad; some of them believed and many of them disbelieved. Allah punished the disbelievers of Aad by the wind and He saved the believers. The people of Aad were famous by their outstanding might.
It is said that Aad nation lived at the south of Saudi Arabia, nearby Yemen.
The Prophet Hud was Arabic.
The nation of Aad and the Prophet Hud are not mentioned in the Bible.
Thamud was an ancient nation. Thamud nation came after the nation of Aad; it is always mentioned in the Noble Quran as a nation that came after Aad.
Allah sent his Prophet Salih to the people of Thamud; some of them believed and many of them disbelieved. Allah punished the disbelievers of Thamud when they killed the Camel which was the miracle of the Prophet Salih who warned his people not to hurt that Camel and they agreed but they never kept their word. The miraculous Camel emerged from a big rock and it has no father and no mother; it came out as an intact adult Camel following Allah’s will when He says to anything He wants: Be! And it is.
The people of Aad were famous by the might and transgression.
It is said that Aad nation lived at the northern part of Saudi Arabia, nearby Yemen.
The nation of Thamud is too not mentioned in the Bible may be because the Prophet Salih was Arabic too.
—————————-
The meanings of verses 69:4-8
Verses 69:4
The nation of Thamud and the nation of Aad both disbelieved in the Resurrection to come and they denied their Prophets and refuted the Day of Judgment.
Verses 69:5
As for Thamud, they were destroyed by the overwhelming Roar, an excessively severe shout of the Angel Gabriel. They were destroyed because of their transgression and idolatry; and it is said that their transgression drove them to disbelieve until they were destroyed.
Verses 69:6
And as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind. The wind was deafening, intensely clamorous, violent wind, [that was] powerful and severe [in its assault] upon Aad, despite their power and might.
Verses 69:7
Allah forced and imposed that wind upon them uninterruptedly for seven nights and eight days with the same force so that you might have seen the people therein lying prostrate, lying dead on the ground, as if they were the hollow, collapsed, trunks of palm-trees.
Verses 69:8
So do you O Muhammad see any remnant of them? Do you see one remaining?’ No!
—————————-
Verses 69:4-8 of the Noble Quran in four different translations:
Verses 69:4
QARIB: Thamood and Aad belied the clatterer.
SHAKIR: Samood and ad called the striking calamity a lie
PICKTHAL: (the tribes of) Thamud and Aad disbelieved in the judgment to come.
YUSUFALI: the Thamud and the ‘ad people (branded) as false the stunning calamity!
Verses 69:5
QARIB: Thamood, they were destroyed by the violent shout (of Gabriel),
SHAKIR: then as to Samood, they were destroyed by an excessively severe punishment
PICKTHAL: as for Thamud, they were destroyed by the lightning.
YUSUFALI: but the Thamud, – they were destroyed by a terrible storm of thunder and lightning!
Verses 69:6
QARIB: as for Aad, they were destroyed by a howling, violent wind
SHAKIR: and as to ad, they were destroyed by a roaring, violent blast
PICKTHAL: and as for Aad, they were destroyed by a fierce roaring wind,
YUSUFALI: and the ‘ad, they were destroyed by a furious wind, exceedingly violent;
Verses 69:7
QARIB: that he subjected upon them for seven nights and eight days consecutively and you might have seen them struck down as if they were the stumps of palm trees that had fallen down.
SHAKIR: which he made to prevail against them for seven nights and eight days unremittingly, so that you might have seen the people therein prostrate as if they were the trunks of hollow palms
PICKTHAL: which he imposed on them for seven long nights and eight long days so that thou mightest have seen men lying overthrown, as they were hollow trunks of palm-trees.
YUSUFALI: he made it rage against them seven nights and eight days in succession: so that thou couldst see the (whole) people lying prostrate in its (path), as they had been roots of hollow palm-trees tumbled down!
Verses 69:8
QARIB: can you see any remnant of them now?
SHAKIR: do you then see of them one remaining?
PICKTHAL: canst thou (O Muhammad) see any remnant of them?
YUSUFALI: then seest thou any of them left surviving?
——————————————————————————————-
2) What if Allah wants to do anything?
Verse 36: 82 says:
QARIB: when he wills a thing, his command is to say to it ‘be’, and it is!
SHAKIR: his command, when he intends anything, is only to say to it: be, so it is
PICKTHAL: but his command, when he intendeth a thing, is only that he saith unto it: be! and it is.
YUSUFALI: verily, when he intends a thing, his command is, “be”, and it is!
The meanings of the verse:
His command, His affair, when He wills a thing, that is, [when He will] to create something, or to do anything is just to say to it ‘Be’, and it is.
——————————————————————————————-
3) The Precious verse (faith-wise) of the Quran that describes the Almighty Creator
Verse 42: 11 says
QARIB: the originator of the heavens and the earth, he has given you from yourselves, pairs, and also pairs of cattle, thereby multiplying you. there is nothing like him. he is the hearer, the seer.
SHAKIR: the originator of the heavens and the earth; he made mates for you from among yourselves, and mates of the cattle too, multiplying you thereby; nothing like a likeness of him; and he is the hearing, the seeing
PICKTHAL: the creator of the heavens and the earth. he hath made for you pairs of yourselves, and of the cattle also pairs, whereby he multiplieth you. naught is as his likeness; and he is the hearer, the seer.
YUSUFALI: (he is) the creator of the heavens and the earth: he has made for you pairs from among yourselves, and pairs among cattle: by this means does he multiply you: there is nothing whatever like unto him, and he is the one that hears and sees (all things).
The meanings of the verse:
He (Allah) is the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the One Who created them [without precedent]. He has made for you, from your own selves, pairs, when He created Eve from Adam’s rib, and [also] pairs, males and females, of the cattle and whereby He multiplies you through marriage. There is nothing like Him; there is no likeness of Him, exalted be He). He is the Hearer, of what you say, the Seer, of your works. Naught is as His likeness in attributes, knowledge, power and providence etc.
The basic point of faith is that Naught is as your Almighty creator.
Since man is a creature which has Spirit that gives him like; and since Naught is as the likeness of your Creator, then the Almighty Creator has NO SPIRIT.
Hence, the Almighty Creator is not a body or material like us. Any form, picture or thoughts that you put the Almighty Creator in it is absolutely wrong.
According to the Islamic Rule of Faith, if any one put the Almighty Creator in any form, picture or thoughts, he or she is Disbeliever and has No faith; and he will end up in the Hereafter as a dweller of the Eternal Fire.
This is in spite of what name(s) you are giving to your Almighty Creator e.g. Allah, Lord, God, Jehovah etc.
On the other hand, the vice versa is absolutely True!

O.k. Guys so you can’t figure out how to get a girl to like you in the way you had intended. Unfortunately your feminine side came screaming out and instead of being romantically involved, you are there with her watching lifetime doing your nails and letting her test her new “Hair-be-gone” on your legs. Hey don’t shoot the messanger you got yourself into this mess not me. So lets do a little house cleaning shall we? We’ll get you back on track no worries.
When a girl says she wants a nice, sensitive guy, don’t run out and get a “build-a-Bear” and sniffle during the chick flick you took her to. Technically speaking that may be what they want, it’s human nature and it sounds right, but when reality bares it’s head female instinct says she likes a guy who will take control and act like a man. Let’s look at what happens when….
What happens when.. you take a girl to an expensive dinner, her something on instinct and spoiling her at no expense? She thanks you for the lovely time and goes out with another guy. Dang!
What happens when.. you just can’t wait to call that beauty right after a great date cause you had such a great time (so you thought) and she’s coming off as awkward and rushing through the call just to get you off the phone. Am I right?
The Solution
Now Let’s change it up a bit for the sake of variety…
What Happens when.. you don’t call a girl and you’re habitually busy, and really could care less if you see her again or not? She’s calling you every few hours right?
What Happens when.. you go out for a quick brew and act like she’s your happy hour pal? She starts to feel an attraction because you are’nt being the “jump” “How High”? kinda guy. Do you get a feel for where I’m coming from?
Now Don’t go misunderstanding confidance to being a total jerk. To get a girl to like you and show some interest Don’t come off as shy or awkward it will turn her off. You will gain more ground if you lead the way without talking about it. Keep away from dull and lifeless and step up to fun and spontaneous.
Make her laugh, don’t give her too much info about yourself keep some mystery about you and let her wonder. Be interesting and please leave your game night talk at home. Show some direction with your goals and show you have a solid plan for your life, other than a 52″ Plasma and the “Boys” coming over on monday night to knock some down.
This is just some starting points for you to head in the right direction so let’s do a brief review and wrap up. Be a man, Keep Busy not too readily available, be obscure, have a plan, be calm, fun and confident (not arrogant) start off simple but purposeful and never, I repeat, never let her put some warm goop on your legs and tell you it isn’t going to hurt. Until the next time cowboy, peace and be well.

With the right diabetic diet recipes , even if you have diabetes, it does not mean you cannot enjoy good food, it just means that there are a few limits. Being in control of your diet is imperative in reducing the effects of diabetes and can also help lower the chances of you contracting it. Sorting out a diabetic diet plan is one of the most important things you need to do if you suffer from diabetes.
Weight is generally a problem when you are a diabetic and the goal is to get that weight off and keep it off. Another important thing to remember is to eat a healthily from all four food groups and keeping to you diabetic diet.
Heart disease and strokes are two complications often associated with diabetes but the risk of these can be reduced if the sufferer sticks to a healthy diabetic diet. A diabetic diet is essentially a healthy, low-fat, balanced eating plan that helps the patient feel better and more energetic, and achieve some control over the symptoms like fatigue, thirst, blurred vision.
There is a diabetic food pyramid that shows how to eat healthily by consuming vegetables, non-fat dairy products, whole grains, fruit, low fat meat, beans, fish and poultry. If you are also subject to a low-carb diet then your diet may consist of certain vegetables like kidney beans, carrots and avocados in addition to meat, fish poultry, eggs and cheese. Saturated fats and cholesterol are a problem if you are a diabetic so you would need to cut down on foods like this and eat skinless poultry as well as fresh fruit and vegetables.
A diabetic diet consists of certain food groups but it also imperative that you weigh the foods so you intake the correct amount of calories. Also check the food labels when you shop because they contain useful information and daily intake amounts which are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
You can’t just innocently believe what they say. Now … I’m sure some of them are telling the truth. But many are lying. And for something like “retention rate,” there are a hundred different ways to figure that. It’s just a matter of choosing the method that gives the result the company likes best.
The safest thing for you to do is to choose a company based on results that YOU can see or that YOU can actually verify.
When you dedicate your life to building your business with a company, you should actually interview a number of distributors with that company and ask about the work they do and the system they use and their actual earnings. And know this, any company-published promotion you read is just that … a company publication.
When you talk to anyone about joining your MLM business, one of the most important factors in their mind is the training. They need to see that you or someone in your group is doing real training, and that it’s easily accessible for them, and that it’s not an overwhelming course. Plus, they want to make money as quickly as possible.
If your training makes people feel like they’re going from L. A. to New York on a donkey, you will lose them. They need to look at it and see it’s quick and easy. Here’s what prospects are thinking, “Uh oh, now I’ll need help training my recruits I bring into this business.” The longer the training takes, the less time they will have to actually bring in new people.
What works best is to have a master mind team that trains all the team members and the new associates they bring in. Have them listen in on some of your training calls and show them all the help they’ll get. Give them your personal contact information, plus that of your upline, so they can get in touch with you whenever they need to. New people need to know that you will be there for them, rather than being stranded in the MLM desert with a stubborn donkey.
In 2004, 30-year MLMer Michael Dlouhy wrote “Success In 10 Steps.” The ideas in this article come from that book, which details the reasons so many people fail in network marketing.
It’s fascinating to discover that some MLM companies set out to find a compensation plan that greatly rewards a few people, and pays virtually nothing to the 99% of reps looking to build a business part-time to achieve their dreams. The idea is that if you can promote a few people who get 6-figure or 7-figure monthly paychecks, that will lure a lot of people into the business. The irony is, there’s only so much money to be divided up.
The more a company pays to its big guns, the less there is for everybody else. So the vast majority of distributors in a publicly traded MLM company actually get short changed by that stock market status symbol. You’ll find a lot of interesting ideas in this book.
Title: Best MLM Training – Will You Sleep With The Enemy?
Summary: Many network marketers are looking for the best MLM training they could ever get. What I tell them is, “Learn shat’s in the contract BEFORE you signup.”
Text Box: When you start in network marketing, you have chosen to agree to some company’s contract. A lot of people don’t realize that, but it is true 100% of the time.
You may not have signed on the dotted line, but the hard cold reality is you checked a box saying you read and agree to the Policies & Procedures. That is required before you can begin marketing any MLM product. And once you have, just like in the old White Owl Cigar commercial, “They GOTCHA”.
So then my friend … did you actually read the Policies and Procedures? (Most people don’t.) That is the legally enforceable agreement you made with the network marketing company that they can one day put before a court.
Do you have any idea what it says? Do you realize what you have locked yourself into? It might make your head spin. Heck, you might be absolutely shocked and even infuriated.
It’s nothing for a company to insert one or more clauses making it clear that you – the rep – may be terminated at any time for any reason with 30 days’ notice. They think this is perfectly acceptable. In fact one MLM president, when asked why his Policies & Procedures were so vicious, he said, “It is what it is, that’s boiler plate text.”
You’ll find companies use this gotcha type of wording on a regular basis. They let it pass until you have good money coming in, and then they terminate you. Who do you think gets your stream of income? Well, you can bet it doesn’t feed starving children.
Do you feel like hyenas are watching you? Keep in mind, this contract was written by company lawyers. Your company probably will not terminate you to steal your check unless they get themselves in financial trouble. But don’t kid your self – you better believe they’ll exercise their options if they think they need to.
If you want a solid foundation for yourself and your family and your team, then you definitely want a contract that won’t allow that company to eat you alive once your check is fat & juicy.
Do you wait by the phone hoping someone calls up to sell you something? No you probably don’t. At the very least, we don’t want some pushy, aggressive salesman using slime ball techniques to close us. You certainly aren’t someone who’d ever want to do that yourself, I’ll bet.
So what would ever possess you to think you could build a MLM business by selling? That is the business-building technique Fred Flinstone used to get Barney Rubble into the first MLM in history. And it’s still what most companies and MLM cave dwellers teach – sell and close. But if you don’t want to do it, and the people you talk to don’t want to do it, how will you ever build a business that way?
Here’s what I know, what works is to just talk with people and find out what their frustrations are. It’s important to them that you really listen so you learn what really motivates them, and what they see as the stumbling blocks. Then show them ways you can work together as a team to solve that problem.
The key is to build a relationship with the person, If you try to sell them that will never happen. And that is a duplicatable system – training is absolutely not.
A lot of people in MLM go groopie on the few who make the rock star money. Some ultra heavy hitters make 6 figure or even 7 figure incomes a month. The ebook “Success In 10 Steps” by Michael Dlouhy describes how those guys really look at you as just another exploit on their world tour!
It’s pretty interesting. You’ll get crucial suggestions on how to find a sponsor & company that give you the best opportunity to build a stable business that will be profitable for a long time. Real estate investors say you make your money when you the property, by buying it right. That’s also true in an MLM business.
If you start out by putting yourself in the wrong position, you just don’t have a chance for success. You’ll find a lot of value in the ideas in this book. It’s the best MLM training I’ve seen in in over 20 years in the industry … and I’m not alone on that.

Whether you want to enjoy the highlights of Havana, relax in five star accommodation on the coast, or escape to a secluded part of the island, there’s bound to be a Cuba hotel that’s perfect for you. Here are four of the country’s very best.
The Best Cuba Hotels for 4 Different Cuban Holidays
There are few places that can offer such a diverse range of holiday experiences as Cuba. You can relax in some of the finest all inclusive beach resorts in the world, live it up in cosmopolitan and historical Havana, escape to one of the lesser known historical cities, or find your own deserted getaway in the mountains or on the coast. Whatever kind of holiday you want to have, choosing which one of the many Cuba hotels to stay in is always going to be a hard choice.
Here are some of the best Cuba hotels for four different kinds of holiday…
For five star luxury…
The very finest Cuba hotels are naturally located in Havana, the Cuban capital, and in this city you really are spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting your accommodation! For sheer grandeur and luxury, however, there is one hotel that stands out from the crowd – The Saratoga. This five star hotel was built in the 1930′s and is a classic example of neo-colonial architecture at its most stunning. With elegantly decorated rooms and spectacular panoramic views of the port and Havana’s Old Town, it’s hard to beat the Saratoga if you want the grandest accommodation on the island.
For a secluded getaway…
Sometimes you just want to get away from it all, and Cuba offers plenty of opportunities to find a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Travel to the northern province of Pinar del Rio, and you’ll discover a part of Cuba that is a world away from the major cities and frenetic beach resorts. This part of the country is dedicated to tobacco growing for the famous Cuban cigars, and the beautiful countryside is ideal for hiking and horse riding. La Moka in Las Terrazas is the ideal base for a holiday in Pinar del Rio, a small hotel in a secluded location that is the perfect place to relax.
For a bustling beach holiday…
If you like a beach holiday that is filled with life, colour, and plenty of things to keep you occupied, Guardalavaca is the place to be. The biggest and most developed of Cuba’s beach resorts, Guardalavaca is also home to some superb hotels. For a place that is the life and soul of the party, the Playa Pesquero hotel is hard to beat. With facilities that include a swim up bar, six restaurants, numerous bars and the glorious Pesquero beach just a moment away, it is the biggest and perhaps the best hotel in Guardalavaca.
For a peaceful urban break…
Havana is often regarded as Cuba’s star attraction, but it is far from the only place to stay on the island. For somewhere a little less touristed but with just as much to see, head over to Trinidad. This town has the finest examples of colonial architecture on the island, and has even been awarded UNESCO World Heritage status for its remarkable buildings.
If you want to stay at the finest hotel in town, choose the Grand Hotel Trinidad. With its attentive service, high quality accommodation and ideal location in the heart of the Old Town, this five star boutique hotel truly stands out from the crowd, and is one of the best Cuba hotels.

Cigar reviews Ashton Cabinet Selection Pyramid Cigar Review cigarobsession.com http Sorry, I goofed on the pics form this one and formatted the wrong card This 6×52 belicoso shaped stick offers a silky soft light tan wrapper with minimal veins, a slight spongy feel and light barnyard aroma. First light gives a small amount of smoke but it’s extremely thick and chewy, leaving a heavy oily feeling. Flavors are a slight grass, cedar, and touch of tobacco. Taking a third clip off the head really freed the draw to a normal level and increased smoke and body to a much better medium. From the 1/2 way point at 45 min in through to the end at 1:15 flavord took on a creamy slightly sweet light coffee flavor, still with a rich thick smoke. The finish slowly increased carrying the creamy coffee with it. Than you very much to Ashton for sending this for review! Photography by BG Pictures.
