GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;sells the world&lt;/span&gt; rather than a single neighborhood or a single city or locality (in other words, it has a huge market.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. INELASTIC DEMAND&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business has a product with "inelastic demand." This means that people &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;need it&lt;/span&gt;, almost regardless of price.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. NO EMPLOYEES&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business has l&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ow labor requirements&lt;/span&gt;, the fewer people needed, the better.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. CONTINUING NEED&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business sells a product &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;which has a continuing need&lt;/span&gt;.  It's not a fad product.  It's not a product which people can easily substitute or even do without.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. LOW OVERHEAD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business has &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;low overhead&lt;/span&gt;; it does not need an expensive location, it does not need large amounts of electricity, advertising, legal advise, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;6. UNIQUE PRODUCT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business produces a product which is &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;difficult (or almost impossible) for a competitor to copy or reproduce&lt;/span&gt;.  This means the product is an original or it requires very special know-how.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;7. LOW INVESTMENT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;does not require huge cash expenditures&lt;/span&gt; or large investments in equipment.  In other words, it does not tie up your money.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;8. CASH BUSINESS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The ideal business is a business that has &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;cash billings&lt;/span&gt;; it does not tie up your money in extended credit arrangements.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9. REGULATION FREE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ideal business is relatively free&lt;/span&gt; from all kinds of government and industry regulations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;10. PORTABLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;ideal business is portable&lt;/span&gt;.  You can take it anywhere you want, in Florida, California, Europe or Asia.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;11. FASCINATING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's a crucial but overlooked one: the ideal business is one that &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;keeps you fascinated, you love it, it requires your full intellectual and often your emotional energies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6752112301892482642-7460156521686740215?l=drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7460156521686740215/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6752112301892482642&amp;postID=7460156521686740215' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/7460156521686740215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/7460156521686740215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/2008/05/11-reasons-why-vemma-is-perfect.html' title='11 Reasons Why VEMMA is the PERFECT Business...'/><author><name>DrinkDifferentNow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00054283442721857747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752112301892482642.post-5209485689606259443</id><published>2008-04-30T11:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-30T11:34:54.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EVy0cchl0YQ/SBi7cpQeEHI/AAAAAAAAACc/oDiPXZssJek/s1600-h/Picture+1.png" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img style="text-decoration: underline;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EVy0cchl0YQ/SBi7cpQeEHI/AAAAAAAAACc/oDiPXZssJek/s320/Picture+1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5195108270957531250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Ever see someone driving down the road while texting?

It is a subject that I am passionate about and have been speaking on for quite some time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Here's to your health and prosperity...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Terry &amp;amp; Diana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Know What You Want&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; by James Alan Ray&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most people don't get what they want in life because they don't know what they want. They may have a vague idea, but they can't articulate clearly what true success means for them. In fact, when I ask people what they want, nine times out of ten they tell me what they don't want. They say things like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Well, I don't want to be broke anymore."&lt;br /&gt;"I don't want all this credit card debt."&lt;br /&gt;"I don't wanna argue with my husband."&lt;br /&gt;"I sure don't wanna be fat."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those are good answers to the question, "What &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; you want?"&lt;br /&gt;But I'd asked them, "What &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;do&lt;/span&gt; you want?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's a big difference between knowing what you don't want, and knowing what you do want. That distinction is going to be the key to your success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you're thinking about what you don't want, that's what will show up in your life. What we think about, we bring about. So if you think consistently about what you don't want, then that's what will manifest in your world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that people do in response to the question, "What do you want?" is to tell me not what they want, but what they think they can get. This can also limit your results for two reasons. First, it may set your standard very low and put in motion a pattern of negative thinking. Second, it may not be what you really want, so there's no passion in the dream!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The human spirit will not invest itself in mediocrity, and you need that human spirit to achieve what you want. Your goal should be so exciting that you have butterflies in your stomach! That's how you unlock the power of the mind and put it to work for you!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6752112301892482642-4135649243690841171?l=drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/feeds/4135649243690841171/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6752112301892482642&amp;postID=4135649243690841171' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/4135649243690841171'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/4135649243690841171'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/2008/04/blog-post.html' title='What Do You Want?'/><author><name>DrinkDifferentNow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00054283442721857747</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EVy0cchl0YQ/SBflPZQeEFI/AAAAAAAAACM/163WlfzHHNs/s72-c/8ball_large.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752112301892482642.post-7777031557000639018</id><published>2008-04-22T08:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-22T21:01:26.060-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Listening'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Questions'/><title type='text'>??

And with all of that talking, there needs to be someone listening. Are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're so eager to talk about &lt;strong&gt;VEMMA&lt;/strong&gt; -- Because we know how &lt;strong&gt;POWERFUL&lt;/strong&gt; it is -- But we sometimes get ahead of ourselves by presenting something that will help &lt;strong&gt;BEFORE&lt;/strong&gt; we know &lt;strong&gt;HOW&lt;/strong&gt; the people we're talking to need what we have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to be successful in helping people, you have to &lt;strong&gt;ASK QUESTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;. I often remind people that we have &lt;strong&gt;TWO EARS&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;ONLY ONE MOUTH&lt;/strong&gt;. Therefore, we should &lt;strong&gt;LISTEN&lt;/strong&gt; twice as much as we &lt;strong&gt;TALK&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE'S A CHALLENGE FOR YOU:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The next time you're in line at the store, don't talk to anyone. Just listen to the conversations going on around you and you'll notice that people are talking about their issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, studies have shown that the #1 thing people like to talk about...is &lt;strong&gt;THEMSELVES&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we &lt;strong&gt;FIRST&lt;/strong&gt; become good question askers, and listeners &lt;strong&gt;SECOND&lt;/strong&gt;, we will then know how we can potentially help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONE FINAL THOUGHT:&lt;/strong&gt; When talking with someone about their issues, sometimes it's better to say "I'd love to get together and talk with you more to see if there is some way we can help you with this (issue)."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responding in this way often opens the door for a follow-up opportunity to share with them, instead of being a human encyclopedia about all of the known attributes of Mangosteen, Aloe, and everything else you've ever learned along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also helps alleviate the pressure of feeling like you have to convince them that they need Vemma. Instead of us telling &lt;strong&gt;THEM&lt;/strong&gt; why they need it, how about we ask questions and let them tell us why they need it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a lot less confrontational, and gives time for them to think about how considerate you were for truly being concerned about their circumstances, instead of trying to sell them something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This business is often referred to as "Relationship Marketing" because that's really what it's all about. Anything more, and you might as well wear a uniform and hat and ask, "would you like fries with that?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's to your health, wealth and prosperity!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6752112301892482642-7777031557000639018?l=drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/feeds/7777031557000639018/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6752112301892482642&amp;postID=7777031557000639018' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/7777031557000639018'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6752112301892482642/posts/default/7777031557000639018'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://drinkdifferentnow.blogspot.com/2008/04/asking-questions.html' title='??
