Recently I heard someone say, I am not willing to participate in the recession. However, if your boss tells you that you’re laid off, telling him I am not willing to participate in the recession will not get you your job back. But if you have a recession proof business, it’s not something that will effect you.

Most Americans surveyed by a 2008 Fortune Magazine poll believe the economy in the United States is on a downward spiral. They agree if a recession isn’t here already, it soon will be. The poll of 1,000 Americans found that:

• 18 percent are somewhat worried about losing their job in the next year, and 8 percent are very worried

• 65 percent believe U.S. economic conditions are getting worse

• 57 percent believe the United States is heading into a recession in the next 12 months

• 48 percent have been cutting back their spending in the past 12 months

• 15 percent have not been able to keep up with their credit card payments, and

• 9 percent have not been able to keep up with their mortgage, rent or other loan payments

Of course, if you have a recession proof business, these statistics would not be a concern to you. What exactly is a recession proof business? There are certain industries where despite the economy, you can be successful. Most people feel that the health industry is recession proof. The Baby Boomers will be retiring soon and more people are seeking health alternatives instead of prescription medication with all the side-effects.

Did you know bestselling author Paul Zane Pilzer-a world-renowned economist, presidential advisor, college professor, and entrepreneur said in 2002, the Wellness Revolution defined an industry and outlined an emerging $200 billion industry. Today, wellness has grown to $500 billion and it’s still just getting started, offering even greater entrepreneurial opportunities. In the next ten years, an additional $1 trillion of the U.S. economy will be devoted to providing healthy people with products to maintain their health.” If people have products that help them with their health, they will not cut that out of their budget. That’s a recession proof business and with this type of predicted growth, this is a business that you could devote your time and effort knowing it will be there through good and bad times.

Just indicating the health industry of course covers a wide range of choices. Within that industry, experts suggest that a home based business can be a recession proof business. In poor economic times, people crave new business opportunities, hoping to stabilize their income. Consistently, home based businesses have grown during the “down” periods.

Nutrilite took off in 1945 during the economic decline immediately following World War II. Shaklee and Neolife fared well in the post-Korean War slump. Amway got a good start building with the slump in 1958. Mary Kay started with the downturn in the 1960s. This theory held true in 1992 when Alliance, Kaire, Life Plus, and a number of other companies started up and boomed. Others like Herbalife went into hyper growth due to the same recession and became billion dollar companies. During these touch economic times, these businesses were recession proof businesses.

However, when seeking a recession proof business that you can start building so you’re not worrying about when the next shoe will drop, you need to choose the right one. Right now the market place has many home based businesses and it’s difficult to choose the right one.

Choosing a home based business that doesn’t meet up with the criteria is not a recession proof business because if you can’t be successful in the business, then you’re right back to where you started from and looking again.

The recession proof business I would recommend is TriVita. Why? Because it met my criteria and I did quite a bit of research seeking my own recession proof business. TriVita is a solid company with over 50 nutritional products and they spend millions of dollars generating customers for us with their unique cooperative marketing model. Many people will argue that it’s not a start up.

Why do people seek start ups? Because they feel that if they’re in the beginning, they are able to make more money in that particular business. Think . . . Microsoft, Dell, Tahitian Noni Juice; Herbalife, etc. The problem with start ups is you take a chance. A BIG risk and do you really want a risk when we have a recession hovering over us already? In addition, many start ups and new businesses have many obstacles to overcome that they can’t even anticipate and many will not be able to fulfill the dreams they promise, and worse, close their doors after you’ve poured your money into them (I know – been there; done that).

However, the draw of a start up is the potential to get in at the beginning and make more money than with an established business, but we are in a unique position. We have both. We have a business that has a 10 year proven track record backed by a 38 year old multi-million dollar media giant with a product about to be launched that is expected to be a billion dollar product.

This is going to sound cliche – but it’s true. Timing couldn’t be better. The economy is not doing well and this is when home based businesses take off. We are in a company where you can build it 3 different ways for success. We are not a 1 product company and we have a billion dollar product about to be launched with a massive media campaign and 30 city tour where TriVita is spending the money to introduce a new product to your customers and let them know about the opportunity.

If you’re seeking a recession proof business, I would take a closer look at TriVita. If you’re working full time and don’t have time to build a business, you can just acquire customers from the company to generate an additional stream of income. If you do have the extra time, you can build it that much faster especially with the launch of the new product.

TriVita – it just makes sense.

Call me so I can interview you and we can see if TriVita is the right fit for you and you’re the right fit for my team.

What is the Sonoran Bloom Business Opportunity? In this current economy many people are seeking ways to cut back but the one area that is not having a set back is wellness products because people do not want to cut back on their health. If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.

Sonoran Bloom is a new product line that TriVita will be scheduled to launch April 1st, 2009. In my opinion, TriVita is the best business because it has over 50 nutritional products, most of which are backed by clinical studies, as well as a proven track record, but the USP (Unique Selling Point) of TriVita has been the Cooperative Marketing business model and the follow up that TriVita does to your customers. But now, with the new product launch, there is an opportunity for tremendous growth for anyone who joins TriVita. There’s even a special promotion in January and February where you receive 1 customer for every 2 you acquire. See rules in TriVita Special Promotion blog.

Even more exciting is that TriVita announced they are enhancing their direct-to-consumer business model to feature a Share-and-Earn program for TriVita customers in conjunction with the launch of their new Sonoran Bloom™ product line. TriVita joined the Direct Sellers Association in 2008 to evaluate the possibility of offering a reselling business program to its Members.

TriVita Members and Affiliates will have the opportunity to tell others about their personal product experiences, by sharing and sampling our products.”

TriVita’s new Share-and-Earn program is backed by a significant compensation plan that pays out a true 70% on all Sonoran Bloom™ products sold and consumed by new Affiliates for ninety days. This increased compensation opportunity is designed to help TriVita create new product distribution channels as well as helping the new Affiliate earn an extra $500 to $2,000 in their first 90 days.

“The new Sonoran Bloom™ product line – which includes a proprietary Opuntia liquid concentrate and Streptocantha gel – have significant health applications and benefits,” said TriVita Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew.

“These products offer our Members and Affiliates true wellness benefits by helping with detoxification and reducing inflammation. The source plants for the Sonoran Bloom™ products are considered healing food plants and were used by ancient people in the Sonora desert. Not only will this story be told by TriVita, but also by our Members and Affiliates, who we believe will want to share these discoveries and results with people all over the world,” said Minshew.

The target date for the launch of the new Share-and-Earn program is April 1st, 2009. Promotional and training events are scheduled in 30 cities to reinforce the launch of both the reselling program and the Sonoran Bloom™ product line. TriVita is planning a special kick-off event to introduce the new Sonoran Bloom™ product line and provide Affiliate training on the Share-and-Earn compensation program March 26th in Phoenix, Arizona.

I love working for a company that has integrity, leadership, wonderful products, ability to make true long term residual income and now to be part of this launch that TriVita expects to be a billion dollar product has me calling this “the Sonoran Bloom Business Opportunity” because you have the chance of a lifetime to be involved with a company that has a 10 year proven track record, yet get in at “the beginning of the beginning” with this product launch.

Call me so I can interview you and we can see if TriVita is the right fit for you and you’re the right fit for my team.

Are you looking for Affordable Franchise Opportunities? Many people now recognize when an economy is poor, it’s the best time to start a home based business. The franchise industry seems to be the best place to start and most seek affordable franchise opportunities. As we all know, attempting to own a McDonald’s franchise will cost millions of dollars and if we had millions of dollars, we would not be searching for affordable franchise opportunties.

I am sure with the research you have done, you realize that with any affordable franchise opportunities, you have less hassles, an already proven idea, and a step-by-step guidance when it comes to starting your own business.

And when considering affordable franchise opportunities, you have probably written off starting a business from scratch because there is a learning curve that can be very discouraging. You have to figure out if your idea has a market, and figure out how to get your idea to your target market. There is constant testing to be done on what works, what doesn’t, and what works better.

So you probably automatically determined that a franchise eliminates much of this trial and error process by providing you with a proven system of how to do things, and with affordable franchise opportunities, there’s less risk.

What you may not have realized is there is another choice besides affordable franchise opportunities. Network Marketing is often called The People’s Franchise because it lets almost anybody start the business with very low investment and earn reasonable residual income monthly if you follow the system in place.

It actually closely follows the model of a traditional franchise and should definitely be considered when exploring affordable franchise opportunities.

Now, I know right away you’re thinking that network marketing is a scam. Well, actually, there is another business model called Cooperative Marketing and I’ll explain more about why that’s different and how it’s a customer based model and why that’s important when comparing either affordable franchise opportunities or any franchises for that matter.

When starting a franchise, you would first be trained on how to run the business and receive a detailed manual. Every detail to be successful is in the manual, whether it’s something like a McDonald’s franchise or in your case, one of the many affordable franchise opportunities.

But the bottom line with any type of business, though you may feel there is less risk with affordable franchise opportunities, is getting customers.

This is where Cooperative Marketing is different than network marketing and a better choice than any affordable franchise opportunities you’ve already explored.

With Cooperative Marketing, you can acquire customers from the company in addition to referring people if you want to or you can personally acquire customers. But if you choose to refer someone – when they join – the next day they have customers. I am sure in your search for affordable franchise opportunities, you have not found one where once you acquire the franchise, they provide you with purchase ready customers.

Of course, since you’re searching for affordable franchise opportunities, cost is an issue and that’s the great part with network marketing or cooperative marketing is it won’t cost you thousands of dollars. However, I will tell you that same reason is sometimes the reason for failure. Many people from many different backgrounds have joined my business because of the unique and healthy business model as well as the 10 year proven track record, but if you treat it like a hobby, it will cost you because hobbies cost money. You need to treat it like a business.

If you just paid $10,000, which is reasonable for what some consider affordable franchise opportunities, you are going to make sure you’re successful. Sometimes, with the low investment cost to get into a business, the same dedication and commitment is not applied.

However, if you treat it like a business, you will find that we have the same detailed manual, videos, steps to take and you will be successful. You just have to be persistent and consistent. And that’s with any type of business whether it’s your home based business; owning your own restaurant, network marketing, Cooperative Marketing or any of the affordable franchise opportunities out there.

One other mistake that is made and it could be made with any business or even any of the franchises you’re exploring when seeking affordable franchise opportunities. Once someone joins the business, instead of following the proven system in place, they believe they know better and then when they fail, instead of evaluating what they’ve done, they blame the business they joined.

Again, if you had made the decision to purchase a franchise from the many affordable franchise opportunities out there, I am sure you will follow the detailed manual that they provide for you because they have a proven system in place. So do we.

With Cooperative Marketing 95% of your income comes from your customers that you can acquire directly from the company so it’s a much more stable business and in my humble opinion, a better choice than any affordable franchise opportunities.

The name of the business is TriVita and we are about to launch a new product with multiple health benefits that TriVita predicts to be a billion dollar product. TriVita has the proven track record and with this new product, it is the perfect timing to get involved with a health and wellness business.

I am on the one of the fastest growing team in TriVita and I have many sales tools and team site and support in place for my team.

Call me so I can interview you and we can see if TriVita is the right fit for you and you’re the right fit for my team.

What is Sonoran Bloom and why do you want to join Trivita now? Because Sonoran Bloom is expected to be a billion dollar product and the timing is now if you want to be successful in a home based business.

Timing is everything. If you ask any successful person in a home based business how they attained their success, they will tell you timing is everything and then . . . taking action.

Being in the right place at the right time is so cliche and has scam written all over it that many jaded people will glaze right over it when they see it.

But there’s truth in statements that have been repeated over and over again and this is one of them. I encourage you to do your due diligence, but when you do and you want to join, contact me on 718-407-0035 to join because I have the fastest growing team and sales tools, team site and support in place to help you to be successful.

With TriVita’s new product launch in March, you ARE in the right place at the right time. Sonoran Bloom is expected to be a billion dollar product. It’s in a product category that has NO competition yet has multiple health benefits. This product is two years in the making and is backed by clinical studies.

TriVita has a 10 year proven track record of generating customers from infomercials, radio ads, print and internet and is backed by Ellison Media, a multi-million dollar 38 year old media giant. They have the foundation and have had continued success but now with this new product, this is where timing is everything.

In March, they are going to start a 30 city tour with Michael Ellison, CEO and Founder and his executive team. There will be thousands of people across the United States and Canada who attend one of TriVita’s Sonoran Bloom meetings. Michael Ellison and his executive team will be flying to a city near you to give a noon business presentation and buy everyone lunch. In the afternoon or evening they will be presenting the new Sonoran Bloom product to our customers who attend and they may be giving everyone a free sample worth $50.

They expect some of these customers (maybe yours) to sign up as Business Affiliates after attending one of these events.

Right now, in January and February of 2009, if you join you also benefit from a special promotion for their 10th year anniversary. You get 1 customer for every 2 customers you acquire (limit: 100 per month). So if you joined today at the Premier pack, you would normally have 25 customers within a business day. Now, during January and February, you will have 37 customers. And after you join, because you’re a new business affiliate in January and February, you can continue to acquire customers and have 1 for every 2 you acquire (Limit: 100 per month).

That’s building a strong customer base that TriVita will be inviting to their 30 city tour promoting the new product and the business opportunity.

THAT’S WHY THE TIMING IS RIGHT AND YOU WANT TO TAKE ACTION NOW. Join now and prepare your business for the product launch and see explosive growth.

There have been fortunes made on timing alone. Your timing today could not be more perfect. Call me on 718-407-0035.

Your Partner in Success,

Warmest regards,

Kathy

TriVita use to be the Best Kept Secret in Home Based Businesses and 2009 is the year that will change. There are many exciting changes with TriVita and I’ll share with you the latest.

This year is TriVita’s 10 year anniversary and they are running a special MAP promotion for NEW Business Affiliates. Don’t know what MAP is? Think it’s a MAP to your success? You’re right! MAP is the Media Acquisition Program where you can acquire customers from the company and be paid lifetime commissions. And of course, what’s unique about TriVita is that they do ALL the follow up for you. How great is that? Talk about true residual income. You acquire the customers and they handle all the daily details. Of course, there are other ways to build the business from referring people and acquiring personal customers where you are paid 70% bonus for the first order of every personal customer you acquire and then receive lifetime commissions, but I don’t want to divert from telling you more about this special MAP promotion.

This MAP special promotion for new Business Affiliates is only from January 1st 2009 to February 28th 2009.

This promotion will allow new Business Affiliates who enroll during the dates mentioned above to receive one free complimentary MAP for every two MAP purchased or buy 2 get one free. The special promotion is designed to help start the new year with great growth opportunities and help Business Affiliates increase business by enrolling new Business Affiliates.

The timing of this promotion is also poised to help you prepare your team for the new Sonoran Bloom product line launch and the national city meeting schedule with CEO, Michael Ellison and CSO, Brazos Minshew. TriVita expects this new product to be the next BILLION dollar product!

There are rules to this promotion that I want to share with you. In addition to the time constraints, there is a maximum of 100 customers per month so if you wanted to take full advantage of this, you would only be able to get up to 50 free. Also, what’s exciting is if you are a member or affiliate member can also upgrade to Business Affiliates to take advantage of this special. I’ll expand on the advantages of being a TriVita customer (member or affiliate member) on another post but suffice it to say TriVita values it’s customers and provides a way for them to get their products for FREE. Last important note is in order to buy 2 and get one free, you have to join at the Steadfast Packs (Premier, Pro, Basic). But that’s okay, because if you join me, I wouldn’t let you join at any other level and when we talk, I can explain why.

Timing is everything and for TriVita, the timing is NOW. I am on one of the fastest growing teams in TriVita and I have many sales tools and team site and support in place for my team.

Call me so I can interview you and we can see if TriVita is the right fit for you and you’re the right fit for my team.
