JuicePlus+ / daily GRACE

I have decided to blog the progress of my JuicePlus+ business for two reasons. Firstly, it is a fantastic way for me to share what I am doing with my team, and secondly it gives me the opportunity to say GRACE regularly. GRACE is simply a set of great questions to ask yourself at least once a week.

G for Gratitude

I’m hugely grateful for my sponsor, David’s support. He always answers my many questions quickly and diligently. I am also thankful for Wim who invited me to Mallorca overnight, and helped me to understand the size of the opportunity we have and the business models that are possible.

R for Realisation (or learning)

One of the wonderful things about business, is how much it helps you to grow. I’ve realised how important the mathematics of a marketing plan are in how the team(s) are motivated. This NSA plan is both equitable and fair. I’ve realised that being critically optimistic is a powerful mindset in general. Finally I’ve realised that JuicePlus Complete has a wonderfully naturally set of ingredients, and tastes ‘clean’ and pleasant.

A for Achievement

I’ve been promoted to Direct Distributor already (for getting my first 5 customers). I have also signed a further five customers in the last few days. Best of all, I have two new distributors both of whom are well connected and enthusiastic about the product. I will enjoy helping them to grow and become successful.

C for Contribution

I feel I have contributed on many levels this week. Firstly, I have raised many peoples’ awareness of good nutrition by encouraging them to eat more fruit and veg as I meet them at BNI network meetings, etc. I have also given two people the opportunity to grow their income in their part time from a business focused on long-term health.

E for Enjoyed

Last, and certainly not least, I have enjoyed playing BioShock on the XBox 360 with Lizzie. I have enjoyed doing my due-diligence on the research carried-out on JuicePlus, by reading the scientific papers as well as the sceptics’ views on the Internet. This process is ongoing for me, and I love the emotional and intellectual challenge.

Smells like a lovely healthy lunch is ready (not raw I’m afraid, hence the smell, but it is winter) so I’m signing out for now.”Be the change you seek in the world” – Ghandi

Handstand walking down stairs!

Preamble
At the start of 2007 one of my goals was to raise £1000 for charity.  At the time I did not know how I was going to raise the money.  With goals is seems that if you put them to back of your mind, and focus on following your passions, they come in ways you don’t expect.

To the point
The way I did it was by getting small crowds to sponsor me for managing to walk down a flight of stairs on my hands.  In three events, I raised the required money and had it sent to various local charities.

The best example was about 60 stairs out the back of reception at Tony Robbins’ Namale Resort  in Fiji recently. Unfortunately I don’t have a video of this one, the only video I have right now is of a very simple job in a far less attractive setting: here.

I wonder what the world record is for this, now that would be something to aim for!

Until the next time I share something random

Great first week

Well, my first week promoting JuicePlus+ has come to an end, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I have spent my time catching-up with old friends, and sharing what I’m passionate about… and some people call this work!

I have hit my first month’s target of customers already, and am aiming for 16 more before Christmas. Not all on the fruit and veg blend tablets, one on JuicePlus Gummies (for kids) and one on Complete (a plant protein shake). I want to see as many people protecting themselves against the oxidative stress of Christmas as possible.

Off for a day in the beautiful Cambridge sunshine, walking, talking and eating… bliss.
