[Martha is a fictional name used for discussion. My apologies to all the real Martha’s in the world]
One of the least endearing habits of people in Multiple Level Marketing companies to prevaricate when asked if their MLM is an MLM.
Some will try to throw it back at the prospect:
Why do you ask?
Have you had a bad experience with an MLM?
Or they indulge in sophism to explain why their MLM is not an MLM.
It is not really MLM because of X.
Why deny your MLM is a MLM?
In their heart of hearts, they must know that they joined the company because it is an MLM. Otherwise, they would simply be recommending a product or service instead of asking people to join their team.
And the person asking may be looking for an MLM, so being evasive will put them off.
But my company isn’t an MLM company, you protest!
Well, let’s look at the facts, Martha, using LifeWave as an example.
You are introducing a company and its products to someone. Like the word or not, that is marketing.
The first thing you see when joining is a range of startup kits, such as bronze, silver or gold.
More than one. Multiple.
Then the compensation plan shows different ranks such as Manager, Director, and Senior Director with how much money you can earn in weekly commissions at each rank.
More than one level. Multiple levels.
You will have a sponsor who has a sponsor.
You hope to sponsor people who will sponsor others.
All are represented in a binary tree.
Multiple levels.
Then there are matching bonuses multiple levels deep.
At this point you could be saying:
Yes, Martha, this is an MLM. And that is great for you!
So embrace your MLM and celebrate!
Yes, there are questionable MLMs out there and some are hard to make money with them.

Emergen-C and similar products provide great health support as an important tool in your Travel Health Kit. Available almost everywhere and Amazon.

Walking in nature is great for health and soul. Bonnie talks about using walking poles to enhance the exercise benefits.
Here favourite poles are difficult to find in local stores. Available on Amazon.
Day 5 ~ Tapping the Body Electric
Today I am introducing a practice of tapping for fun and health. There are different ways you can think of this, including the Emptional Freedom Technique (EFT), Chakras, Meridians, Music, that the body is one big erogenous zone. You can have fun with this on your own or with a partner.
Day 6 ~ Pain Relief with IceWave Patches
LifeWave has an IceWave patch that reduces chronic and acute pain. Greg has had good results on a shoulder injury and one of our friends had nearly instant relief of pain that has resisted a range of therapies for many years.
Day 7 ~ Starting the Nitro Nutrition 21-Day Challenge
Bonnie and I are starting our 21-Day challenge that includes a delicious diet plan, Kyäni Nitro Nutrition, and exercise. We both have a lot of weight to lose. Let’s see how we do! Learn More about Kyäni.
Day 8 ~ Daily Meditation Practice
One of the best ways to start and end your day is with a meditation to help bring calm and clarity to your life. The simplest meditation is to simply sit quietly and pay attention to your breathing. You can also do that while walking. One of the best recorded meditations is a 10-minute Meditation from Marie Forleo. The instructions are simple and the meditation music is fabulous. The sanskrit mantra is So Hum Na Ma. It means honouring your essential creative being. Hum means “I Am That”. Check out Marie’s introduction, the mediation, and a more edgy meditation at https://www.marieforleo.com/2015/11/meditation/
Just in case you are too young to know the classic song by Jerry Garia and The Grateful Dead, here it is:
Fans called “Deadheads” followed them everywhere. Their concerts were like long jam sessions.
This article is for anyone who drives a lot or run companies with drivers.
Do you travel a lot in an RV?
Are you a long-haul trucker?
Do you drive for a car service?
Do you drive for a courier company?
Do you manage a company that hires drivers?
Then you will be interested in things like good health, alertness, healthy sleep, endurance and stamina for you and your drivers .
You are in the right place.
I’ve Been Everywhere Man
Hey, that’s another song!
My persona story is that I have driven a lot!
I travelled by car or RV to nine Canadian provinces, two Canadian territories, and something like 44 US states. Much of Ireland too.
I drove for a town car service doing small trips in the Vancouver area.
I also worked for a courier company doing package deliveries in the Okanagan or driving shuttle trucks to Sicamous, Kamloops, Greenwood, and Merritt.
Bonnie and I drove from Vancouver BC, to Delray Beach Florida in an RV shortly after we got hitched.
Fatigue
Fatigue is the greatest hazard to drivers. It is why the safety features of new vehicles and self-driving vehicles will make the roads safer.
I love to drive and have gone on long trips as a form of meditation.
However, if I have not driven much recently, I don’t get far the first day without stopping to have a nap.
Many decades ago I tried fueling my trip to California with no-doze tablets and coffee.
By the time I going through Oregon my whole body was vibrating.
Bad idea!
Eventually I get into a rhythm of driving with frequent stops to rest, and driving through the night if fresh.
You can’t do that if you are on a tight schedule as with professional driving.
Healthy Suggestions
There are a few things you can do to make you a better road warrior:
Get better sleep. Although you could have some health issues that interfere with good sleep, chances are that habits like staying up watching TV or drinking coffee or alcohol in the evening do not help.
Get more exercise. The problem with driving is that you are sitting on the job. If your only exercise is walking from the vehicle to the diner, you are in trouble. And if you find yourself parking as close to the diner as possible, you are in big trouble!
Eat better. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Have drinks than coffee and beer. Use organic ingredients. Eat balanced meals.
Health supplements. While definitely skip the reds and cocaine, vitamin C is a good idea. Vitamins and supplements can help.

Anti-V by Natural Factors
Vitamin C
Vitamin D3
Magnesium
Multivitamins Insurance to reduce deficiencies
Zinc & Copper
Consult with people at a trusted Health Food Store for recommendations.
Hydration
Most of us do not drink enough water. Drinking more fluids can help maintain body health and enable any of the remedies suggested here be more effective.
Coffee, tea, juices, beer, and wine do count as sources of water, though pure water or sparkling water are better choices.
I don’t see the point of Coors Lite, but that is for another discussion. Drink what you like:-)
Delays, crashes, and sick days are very costly to a company.
Bonnie and I would be happy to talk about products and the opportunity to help you and your team be Healthy Wealthy Road Warriors.

Sometimes we make things harder for ourselves than they need to be. I know I do.
We think that network marketing is hard. You need to learn complicated sales strategies. Learn sales tricks. Abuse your friends and family with sales pitches.
It does not have to be that way.
The most successful people in our organization make sales by simply making a connection, listening, and offer solutions.
They see it as a great way to reach out to friends and family they have not talked to in ages or a way to connect with new friends and business connections.
Here are some opening lines delivered sincerely:
Hi (name). It is been a long time. How are you doing in these interesting times?
What is going on with you?
How is (family member, friend, etc.)?
Simply have a conversation. If there is something that you believe you can help with, introduce the experience you have had and how that could relate to them.
Some of our most successful team members will lead with a story:
You won’t believe what happened to me …
I was suffering with X, now I feel much better …
(Name) had a similar challenge to you. He tried the product and has tremendous results.
Personal testimonials and stories work best.
And sometimes the discussion with people turns to the product naturally.
We were talking with a friend. It turns out she had some stress in her life, was worried about her cancer returning, and wanted better skin so she could feel more confident dating again.
At one point she noticed a patch on my neck?
‘What’s that bandaidy thingy on your neck?’
When I explained about the patches and the results many have experienced she said,
‘I want that! I’m in!’
Simple conversations and sincere connections.
You can do it and have a lot of fun on the journey.

Network Marketing can provide a sense of community similar to that provided by churches, service clubs, and other organizations where people of similar interests get together.
Multi-Level Marketing organizations often create a community atmosphere.
Before COVID-19, house presentations and conferences provided great opportunities to connect with people with similar interestests.
Conferences at nice hotels provide opportunities for people to travel and experience luxury and glamour. Exciting stuff.
Today, with many communities locked down, the connections are provided through phone calls and online meetings. Zoom stocks have soared.
The nature of Network Marketing, or Relationship Marketing, is that it is a good excuse to reach out to people you may have not talked to for decades.
Bonnie has connected with a woman she once babysat over forty years ago.
Embrace your community.
Embrace your tribe.
Be sincerely interested in all the people you meet and you will enjoy a rich life.
And some of the people you reach out to you will join your team.
