So why I chose visalus to help reach my goals for 2012?

With the new year barely starting up many people out there have probably chosen some sort of weight loss goal to try and obtain for the new year.  If you have gone to your local gym lately you’ve noticed how packed the gym is with all these new people.  At this time of year everyone is eager to hit that goal.  The unfortunate thing about that is eventually most will fail to reach that goal.  Some will even be worst than when they started the year.  Then as the year passes they opt in again to eventually “try” to lose that weight and then some more for the next year.  Pretty soon you start to see an eventual cycle where these people are simply spinning their wheels.

For 2012 my number goal was to hit my weight goal of 200 pounds.  I regularly go to the gym so the gym wasn’t the problem for me but it was the diet.  It is definately true that the gym is only a small portion of weight loss.  I knew that in order for me to have a different 2012 in weight loss I had to change my diet.  So to the internet I went to figure out what I wanted to do.

I ran through a bunch of different things out there from cleanses to taking drops etc… You name it EVERY single weight loss technique or gimmick is out there, especially in internet land.  This made it very difficult to chose what I wanted to do.

So a couple weeks into the new year I start hitting the gym again because I couldn’t go for 2 months (torn calf took me away from any activity).  I knew I had to start eating better and every couple hours instead of eating a couple big meals a day.  So I started doing this but no real weight loss for me.  I wasn’t mad at all because I knew it would take time and being out for 2 months certainly didn’t help as well.

Then I get an email from a friend talking about an opportunity, normally I just turn the other way but this thing called a 90 day challenge caught my attention.

I kept an open mind watched a couple videos and it made sense to me.  It was then that I decided

Why I chose visalus to help with my weight loss

Reason # 1 The 90 day challenge is a great way to start my diet.

If I didn’t get results in 90 days no harm because it was only a short 3 month span.  I can always adapt to something totally different if I wanted to.

Reason # 2 It would actually save me money

The shakes totaled to be less than 2 dollars per shake.  When I go to work I at least buy lunch which cost me anywhere from 6 to 10 dollars at a minimum.  There are times that I also buy breakfast which also puts me down another 5 bucks.  So 5 days a week I was spending between 50 to 75 a week just on food for work!  Now that’s a very low estimate because I know I can have weeks when I spend double that amount just on food alone.  The fact that I was actually saving money alone was another no brainer.

Reason # 3 Why I chose Visalus: It’s a lifestyle change

By drinking 2 shakes a day to replace my meals is a true lifestyle change.  I was hesitant because I’m a meatasorus rex.  I love food and simply drinking a shake to replace meals didn’t sound like it would be enough.  But boy was I wrong.  A couple of days into this 90 day challenge and I’ve noticed how much this shakes actually help me feel fulfilled not stuffed.  That was a problem I’ve always had with eating because I would be eating something good then tend to over do it.  But with the shakes I feel satisfied and not craving more food.

These shakes makes it a lot easier for me to always be on the go.  Since I still have a job I have to workout real early and get ready for work.  So I don’t really have time to make breakfast every morning.  So these shakes are perfect because it takes less than 5 minutes to get my shake ready for breakfast as well as my lunch shake.

Why I chose Visalus Reason # 4: IT WORKS!

Yup that’s right it freaking works.  I am now in day 5 of my challenge and I feel excellent.  I haven’t felt this great in a long time.  I have more energy througout my day and I don’t have that sluggish feeling that I do when I eat too much food.  PLUS in 5 days of the challenge I have now lost 10 pounds which puts me at a weight of 222.  This makes my goal of 200 very attainable for this year.  I can’t remember how many times I’ve put that goal down for the year but this year is the most confident I’ve felt to getting to that target weight.  I feel that I can definately attain that goal in this 90 day challenge.  Now of course it’s still very early on in my challenge and I will definately go through ups and downs but Visalus has taken the guess work out of a lot of things.

These are just a few reasons WHY I CHOSE Visalus to help me lose the weight in 2012.

Don’t worry about what others think

What are they going to think about me?  Will they like what I’m doing?  What will they say to others about what I am doing?  Is what I’m doing a scam because they think it is?  Maybe broke uncle bob is right that this isn’t going to work, clearly he knows a lot about everything and it’s probably why he is where he is at this point in his life.

Does that sound like you?  Do you question yourself in what you are doing?  Do you question what others think about what you do?

Well if you are

STOP!

It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks about what you do or about you.  Remember the saying

“Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because
Those Who Mind Don’t Matter
and Those Who Matter Don’t Mind.”
– Dr. Seuss

Your true friends will love you no matter what you do in life and what endeavors you choose in life.  Sometimes they may not totally agree with what you do but when they realize the passion you have to what you are doing they will often times cheer you on.  If not you can always find new friends to give you motivation.  You don’t need to hang around people who don’t have the same goals and aspirations as you.  I like to think you can cheer me on, push me but never judge me for you have never been in my shoes.

If you are truly passionate about what you are doing you will simply brush off the naysayers out there and you will encounter a lot of them trust me.  Even people you think are your true friends might doubt you, you can use that as a motivational tool to push yourself.  Prove them wrong.

If you find that your friends aren’t the supportive types find a new group of friends or have a mastermind group.  Surround yourself with them and watch how much you grow as a person and watch how much closer you can get to your desired goal.

If you are into anything internet related I’m sure you have heard the word backlink used a lot.  In short they are very important to your business as far as search engines are concerned and without them you probably won’t get far with your website.

So what is a backlink?

Well a backlink is generally a incoming link from a website or a web page.  For example you see links on this website that if clicked will send you to another webpage.  That’s a backlink!

There any many different types of backlinks and I’ll briefly describe what you the two different ones.

The first type of backlink is one that is a keyword or phrase that you are trying to get in the search engines.  For example if I had a website and the main keyword I was trying to capture the keyword “dog training” then I would make backlinks with the anchor text using dog training when I’m on other pages trying to promote my web page.  Think of a backlink as a vote from one website to another.  Many times if you like a certain website and you write about it in your blog you send them a link back to that site.  That’s a “vote” for their site and it helps them with the search engines.

The other type of backlink you can do is just a general backlink.  This normally occurs when you have backlinks to your website and aren’t able to use your keyword yet since it’s still a link back from a different website it still can count as a backlink for your site.

Although those two types are both backlinks, the search engines tend to favor ones with the anchor text to give that website content more relevancy for its search engines.

Hopefully that didn’t confuse you with what’s a backlink, but just think of it as a vote from other people.

The second part of the question is why it’s important for your business?

In a nutshell it’s important because it’s a way for the search engines to classify what your content is on the web.  The search engines are consistantly indexing new web content being made and they need it to be indexed to the most relevant content in their search engines.  So backlinks also help because it shows the search engines which content are more important than others because of the amount of “votes” it’s getting from other websites or pages.

Social media is also now starting to play a roll in backlinks in that some twitter/facebook/ or google plus links to pages will now start showing up in the search engines.

Hopefully I’ve explained to you enough on why it’s super important for your business and that you understand what is a backlink.

So what is the ONE driving force that you need to for your business?

All the successful people have caught it and have not let it go.

Companies like Apple caught it years ago and never looked back.

Even people in our industry like the Ray Higdon, David Wood, Brian Fanale, Mike Dillard, etc.. used this and look where their business is now.

Heck even the Dallas Mavericks had this during the NBA finals.

If you want to give yourself even a fighting chance in this industry and in any industry you need this to be on your side.

Now you’re probably saying what the heck am I talking about right?  Some of you may already know what I am talking about but the ones that don’t know I’ll tell you exactly what the ONE driving force is.

Drumroll…………

MOMENTUM

Yep.  That is what you need to excel your success.  You need to learn how to get to the point where momentum is on your side in business.  When you catch momentum there is no turning back unless you go back to your old ways or completely stop.  Things that seemed hard to do will seem like a breeze to do.  Just think of it this way, when you first start running it tends to feel really tiring in the beginning, it makes it hard to even run at a good speed so you may walk for the first 10 minutes.  Then when your body gets a little warmer you can continue but with a little big faster pace.  Then eventually momentum takes over and you can now run at the speed you were reaching for with little to no effort.

If you aren’t a runner then think of this analogy.  Remember when you were a little kid and you loved the swing (well at least I did!).  Remember when you first got on the swing in order to get it going you either had someone push you or you had to put a lot of effort just to get it to start swinging.  But after a couple hard swings or pushes you then catch momentum and before you know it you are flying on the swing.

As much as momentum can play a great part on your side there is also the negative momentum.  This momentum is why so many people want more in life but simply don’t get it.  This negative momentum is when you just sit around and do nothing.  When you sit around and do nothing you activate negative momentum.  Negative momentum works faster than regular momentum because in the beginning it may not seem like it’s affecting you in a bad way but eventually you’ll see the negative results.

Sitting around doing nothing, staying glued to the TV watching negative news, always eating junk food, not exercising, these are a few examples of negative momentum.

Back then I had problems always writing content because I was trying to get too perfect when writing my content.  But I knew I just had to get my content out there and continue the process until MOMENTUM caught up to me and was on my side.  When momentum turned on my side writing content was now easy.  It’s now a habit like brushing my teeth.

So when you are doing something for your business and might start feeling lazy or tired to do it just remember that once you start,  momentum will eventually be on your side and before you know it your finished what you started.  One of my early mentors always told me this as well, the best time to do something is when you don’t feel like doing it.

Basically all you do is input your username and after a little while twitter grader loads up and tells you your score.

How do you succeed in Dieting? It’s easy, you eat smaller meals everyday of quality protein, fruits, veggies, fibers and fats. You exercise at least 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. Simple right? But why is obesity at its highest rate ever? It’s not the lack of information but the lack of discipline. There’s millions of dieting plans out there like “lose weight in 2 weeks” or the rice diet sure most work but it’s just the lack of discipline that people have to follow the diet. Many times people will workout really hard in the first two weeks then they stop when they don’t see results. It’s easy to do those everyday things but it’s also easy not to do them. Losing weight doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. It’s the discipline of doing the small right things to lose weight over and over again everyday that adds up to you getting to where you want to get in dieting. But if you regularly eat bad or not exercise it will add you. You might not see it that day or week but the sum of what you did will add up months ahead.

Now how do you succeed in your online marketing efforts? You may have a new online marketing plan that you found that promises to help you generate traffic but if you didn’t stick to it daily chances are you failed with that online marketing product. How do you generate traffic to your website, by doing a series of things to generate constant flow of traffic to your site. You must commit to doing it everyday. You may not see results the first week or the first few months but if you stick with it you are bound to get a constant flow of traffic.

In closing, the way to succeed is to always start with the end in mind. For example, if you wanted to generate 10,000 visitors a month, you would start with that as your goal and work your way backwards. That way you can get a clear picture of what you need to do to accomplish that goal. You can break down exactly what it is you need to accomplish on a daily basis to attain it. Whether you are dieting or marketing online always make sure what you are doing at that very moment is for your goal and not against it.
