Clearly the recession that we are now exiting has been a severe test for all of us, from business owners to their consumers. The country and the economy are still in recovery, but various factors over the last months from a slowing job loss rate to increased consumer confidence demonstrate that the road to recovery will be continuing in 2010. Throughout history we have had recessions and even depressions of varied scope and severity. They are always followed by opportunities in a boom from bust economy.
In business as in life, timing is everything. When do we jump back in as owners/entrepreneurs to pursue our goals? When do we decide to expand our business? When do we decide to move forward after stepping back in our business pursuits? All different questions but all with a similar answer: the time is now or soon approaching! Will we achieve our goals if we jump in after the battle is won or do we accelerate our efforts when the tide of battle has turned our way? The answer is clear. Now and the near future is the time to achieve.
We remain available to help and to see if timing is indeed just right for your particular business. Timing is everything and different markets and different businesses have different opportunities and timing. The New Year is the time to reflect on those opportunities to seek guidance from those close to you and new voices to determine if worthy opportunities exist.

Updated: Eric Scheibeler's Book Merchants of Deception
When I first read Eric Scheibeler's book Merchants of Deception, it was shocking to me even though I was familiar with Amway. Because Scheibeler was an insider, he knew where the bodies were buried. Now an updated version of the book is available that includes details of recent class action lawsuits filed against Alticor, as well as the companies troubles in Great Britain, India. Here is the web site to receive your copy.

Swine Flu - You Can Prevent This!
The swine flue - much like any other type of illness - is not to be feared, if you are willing to take preventative measures. This is key! Start now, and some type of virus as this will either pass you and your family by, or it will come in a much lesser degree. So here are some preventative measures you can take:
1) Wash your hands frequently especially when you are out in public: after grocery shopping (and pushing a shopping cart), after filling up the gas tank, after using public restrooms especially, etc. Use wet wipes, or a natural hand sanitizer (with tea tree oil, etc.) rather than other hand sanitizers that can be really harmful for children.
2) Strengthen your immune system by taking the following on a daily basis:
* Vitamin D (D3 not D2)
* Fish oil (I like Carlton brand, lemon flavor, and poor it on my salads - no fishy flavor, just lemon - yummy!)
* Green drinks - some form of powdered greens. I have an excellent brand to recommend if you'd like to email me: contact@erleentilton.com. Green foods have mega-high micronutrients and are very low in calories - a great food to have on a daily basis. In a smoothie, you'll hardly know its there (just put it in a colored cup for children so they don't see the green color).
3) Eat lots and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables! Don't go easy on these - go easy on all the other stuff you'd like to eat (breads, sweets, pastas, meats, milk products, etc.)! Fresh produce does make a huge difference in our health!
4) Place fresh whole peeled onions in the main rooms of your house (at least when others around you have the flu). This has been proven successful in absorbing virus germs.
There is no fear if you are prepared - and you can prepare in many simple ways as this.
For your best health,
Erleen

Announcing the Amway Global Video Blog
I've seen a lot of good, critical YouTube Videos about Amway Global. I decided that one way to spread the word about Amway would be to start a blog devoted to videos about Amway. Click here to view the new Amway Global Video Blog.
UPDATE: Welcome Alticor! Even though I announced the creation of the Amway video blog yesterday, my Statcounter stats indicate that someone from Alticor--the parent company of Amway Global--was lurking on the video blog this morning.

White Beans & Your Health!
For the normal grocery store shopper, the only taste of white beans has been in a can of Pork and Beans. What a sad tale – because white beans have lots of great benefits that you are probably unaware of.
White beans (navy beans, great northern beans, cannellini beans):
· Are low in calories and fat
· Curb cravings
· Increase your energy
· Satisfy your appetite
· Prevent the enzyme alpha-amylase from turning carbs into sugar
· Block absorption of 2/3 carb calories
· Boost wei*ght loss up to 230%
· Are a great plant protein with slow-digesting soluble fiber
· And are very inexpensive (best purchased dry – see below for cooking)
Plus all these factors, white beans are very versatile in recipes. You can:
· Add them to pasta dishes with a variety of chopped vegetables (peppers, basil, broccoli)
· Mash them into a bean dip, or make them into hummus (instead of chickpeas)
· Sauté them with onions, garlic, bell peppers or other vegetables and season
· Stir-fry them with greens (Swiss chard, kale, etc.)
· Add them to soups with other vegetables, with or without whole grains (brown rice or quinoa)
· Grind them to a flour and use it in place of cornstarch to thicken foods
Cooking them is simpler than making pie! Just soak them in water overnight, then drain and cover with new water. Simmer 1-2 hours or pressure cook 25-30 minutes (depending on size).
For a great recipe idea…….here’s a tasty recipe from the Healthy Leaner Lifestyle series – Creatively Complete Dinners cookbook!
GARDEN VEGETABLES AND SPIRALS
8 oz. whole grain vegetable spiral pasta
2 Tbs. olive oil
3 cloves garlic, pressed
½ onion, sliced and quartered
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin long strips
1 small zucchini, cut into thin long strips
1 small yellow squash, cut into thin long strips
1 tsp. salt (or more to taste)
Black pepper, cayenne pepper or kelp granules to taste
2 C. cooked navy beans, well drained (or 15 oz. can)
2-3 Tbs. fresh snipped parsley or cilantro
· Cook pasta according to package directions; drain well
· Prepare all vegetables as suggested
· In large skillet, heat oil and stir-fry garlic, onion, bell pepper and squashes just until crisp tender
· Stir in seasonings, drained beans and pasta
· Sprinkle with parsley or cilantro just before serving. Great main dish!

Back & Neck Injuries Anyone?
This past week, I had a visit from a friend, and her husband, who was schooled in the areas of massage, pressure points, and reflexology. In the course of our conversation, he briefly mentioned that because of an accident and resulting back and neck injuries, as long as he stretched out each day doing a certain few exercises, he rarely had any reoccurring problems.
Then he proceeded to show me the stretching exercises he was given to do.
As I watched him go through this routine of exercises, I was amazed to find out that he was doing step-by-step the first 8-10 minutes of my Living a Healthy Lifestyle workout routine. I could have almost sworn that he had copied my video.
I have known for a long time that stretching is important for the body's well being at any age, and as we age, stretching will keep the body limber and our muscles stronger. All three workout components (stretching, wei*ght work, and aerobics) are important for keeping fit and active, but learning about what he shared on stretching and its importance for the neck a back really amazed me.
If you are in need of a good workout for whole body fitness, or need to strengthen your neck and back, then take advantage of this month's discount at $13.95 for the Living a Healthy Lifestyle workout DVD at http://erleentilton.com/store.htm
What a blessing it is to have a strong, physical body! Take good care of your body each day with good exercise!

Cheese - Made With Cashews!
Of all the recipe creations and experimenting I have done over the last 30 years, making all kinds of milk and cheesy type recipes using raw cashews is tops. Blanched almonds, raw pine nuts, and raw macadamia nuts can have a similar kind of outcome, but raw cashews is easier and the least expensive with the best flavor and texture.
Raw cashews can be made into: milk, cheese sauces (for lasagna, pizza, enchilada, scalloped potatoes, alfredo sauce, etc.), sour cream, cream cheese, whipped cream, creamy fruit dip, cheesecakes, frozen desserts, even a mayonnaise like spread, and so much more! Everyone is so amazed at the awesome flavor!
For those with dairy intolerances, raw cashews are a real life saver! You can make all of your favorite foods - and enjoy the rich flavor using raw cashews while improving the nutrition content!
I have created two specific cookbooks that contain recipes for dairy alternatives and the suggested foods above: Creatively Complete Dinners cookbook, and 41 Favorite Food Intolerant Recipes mini-cookbook, both of which are available at a discount this month at http://erleentilton.com/store.htm
