I like to get right to the point when it comes to information. I was on this webinar by the creators of Google Switch, on creating a fan page on Facebook and it lasted about an hour.

If you’re anything like me, your time is precious so I condensed the most important bits into one quick 7 minute video so you can get started fast …

If you want to increase your chances of success it pays to be in a network marketing company that is outgrowing it’s competitors. Who is your competition?

Here are Yanik Silver’s  34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs that he wrote on his return trip from Necker Island. For those not familiar with this luxury island it’s owned by Sir Richard Branson, and it’s sort of become mine and Maria’s definition of the ideal vacation spot. One would be very far off the grid here. We have a short video that should give you an idea why we like it so much.
My favorite rules are 6, 10, 14, and 34. What are yours?
