Four Pillars are Crumbling! We need to wake up.

Four Pillars are crumbling!

In our society we basically have four pillars that keep us all afloat and all four of them are crumbling and falling down. Folks – pay attention to this – its serious.

The four pillars I’m talking about are: the Social pillar, the Economic pillar, the Health pillar and the Education pillar.

Let’s start with the Social pillar. Years ago our social network and social life revolved around our families, our neighbors, and our community. Daycare wasn’t an issue; someone being home when the kids come home from school wasn’t an issue. Grandparents were close by to help out and be mentors to the new parents in the family and play the role of marriage counselor! Now our families are scattered – day care is costly, no mentors around to help with questions on marriage and raising children and even our close friends from high school and college are scattered throughout the world. The world has become smaller though - so we have friends all over the place – some we haven’t even met, thanks to social network sites. Why do you think they have become so popular? Why has Facebook hit millions of people? We are all looking for that connection, that old community feeling – that feeling of being a part of something bigger than ourselves. We are seeking that closeness from total strangers now and it is bringing the world closer together.
Think about this – if the people who run this country had friends in Iraq and Afghanistan through Facebook or other social networks like MA Chatterbox (click on the title of this post to see chatterbox) do you think it would be as easy to make the decision to bomb that place? It makes countries more personal to us. And it should – folks, we are ONE people – and we need to realize that sooner than later.

Now… lets look at the Economic pillar – our financial world has become disastrous. We have all learned to live on borrowed money. We have massive credit card debt, we live in houses that we can’t afford, we buy bigger and flashier cars so we can impress the world and have an “image”. The banks are crumbling, Wall Street is a joke, our 401k plans are now 101K plans and seniors aren’t asking ‘when’ they are going to retire but IF they are going to retire. People were led to believe that if they got an education, got a good job and worked hard they would have saved some money and would live out their retirement in the style they wanted to. Folks – the economic pillar is crumbling – the way we have been taught is no longer working! We have to start being responsible for ourselves – the government is not going to take care of us, your employer is not going to take care of you either. YOU have to take care of you. What is your back up plan? What is your Plan B? What if you went into work today and was told that you no longer have a job – what would you do next? How you going to pay your mortgage? Your car payments? Your credit cards that you have racked up?

What now?

Stay tuned…. For the other two pillars and some easy solutions to THINK about.

12 Children on Stage - changed my life forever

I just got back from Miami on Tuesday. Went down for the Market America World Conference and I have to say that this company continues to amaze the heck out of me! Every 6 months we have a huge convention - one in Miami and the other in Greensboro, NC and each time there are NEW updates and NEW products, and NEW and exciting partner stores, and NEW ways to get the word out about this company. I don't know how they do it. They turn things around (new projects) in a wink. A company I used to work for used to take MONTHS to roll out a new idea/project and even then it wouldn't work right! This company is dedicated to its Independent Distributors and Unfranchise Owners. They are working hard for all of us to succeed and fulfill our dreams. Is your company doing that for you? Or are they working hard at fulfilling their own success dreams? Are you valued? Are you secure in that job? Do you want to continue on the hamster wheel of life? In a rut? Things change so rapidly in this world - you have to stay on top of technology and skills. You have to prepare for YOUR future and your families futures. This company is allowing me to leave a legacy to my children and future grandchildren AND great grandchildren that I may never meet, yet I will leave them a future they can depend on for years to come.
People - you need to be thinking about this. Seriously, this company has created more six figure income earners then anyone else - and will continue to do so. This company has helped NUMEROUS people with their health concerns. I sat in Miami this week and watch 12 children on stage at Market America talk about how MA has helped them lose weight (childhood obesity is rampant in this country!! wake up - our children will not outlive us much longer!!) When these children were done telling their stories there was not a dry eye in the house - over 23,000 people all overwhelmed by what MA has done for them - and countless others too. I have so many testimonials on our health products - you owe it to yourself to at least investigate them!
Time is going by - you can't stop it, but you can make each minute you have left on this earth a better one.
