All the Best in 2010, and as I do, take some time to just breathe, relax, sleep some and get ready for a hot 2010.  Rick Emmerich

Make money without selling anything.

Just sign up and the checks start rolling in.

The newest, best, most exotic, highest this or that value.

Make a check in one week.

We ALL have heard those, right?  I’m no different, I get ‘em every week at least.  For those that are serious network marketers, I guess, just get used to it.  The newest next best thing comes out every 4 or 5 days, like clockwork.

There ARE ways to assess if you have a good thing going.  Obviously, if you are getting fat checks every month, you know you are in the right place.  I mean, I DON’T get in something only for the money, but the reason I feel, to be involved is to get rewarded for your efforts, and others’.

So, one of my bits of wisdom is to find a product/company that you love, and look at the pillars that form the foundation of the business.  They should have a comp plan that allows the heavy hitters to make big bucks, but also, allows those starting up to get to levels easily enough to start drawing checks.

Hopefully, your product is high quality and is consumable.  In other words, to paraphrase Richard DeVos of Amway fame:  You use it and and use it up, it eventually goes down the plumbing and you need more.  I would stress that it needs to be something the you CAN’T just go to Target and buy (for cheaper?)

Ideally you have what is called a categtory-creator and those are few and very far between.  Often, it’s another juice, or a nutritional product that you will need to have faith in, until it starts working-or doesn’t.

Guess what then.  You have to put some work into the process.  I have been blessed enough to have the perfect upline in my business.  He can’t wait to serve and work with my downline distributors.  You then have to get on national calls, and have a mentor, or mentors.

I would like to impress upon you the necessity to get ready to work NOW, because for you networkers, there is no time like the present.

If you are interested in creating a secondary income with products that are unique, not sold in stores and that WORK, get back to me.  Or go to http://www.LivGreenHawaii.com

The class has started with the typical go-round of names and businesses.  If I hadn’t appreciated the worldwide aspect of this, I do now.  Fellow tribe-members from the UK, Canada, Australia, and many states, including us in Hawaii are checking in.  Wow, I am NOT alone.  Not everyone has the technical background, or a real focus (yet).  We are comrades working toward our internet future.

Perhaps a year from now we will gather to discuss our domination of internet business worldwide, but now we are laying the foundation.  I’m excited.  It’s new to me, but I am in this for the long haul.  The legendary story.  I grew up where we played with rocks and sticks, not video games and personal computers.  Now, look at me!

It’s the New Media (that I have attempted to explain to others already).  Now I am learning for real.  I am in the trenches.

I WANT A TRIBE.  I have a blog.  No one reads it yet…….even my mom, who I tried to trick into reading it, has passed on it.  Soon, it will be read, and become a profit generator for me.  I LOVE to write.  I expect that there are at least some out there that will enjoy reading at least half as much as I love writing it.

Network Marketing is an interesting animal.  It’s a tiger.  Are you a tiger or a bunny?  Eagle or a duck?  OK, I digress.  I expect to adapt this opportunity to be profiting as a result of the blog, the Google Rankings, just the possiblility of having a huge, global sphere of influence, due to my internet involvement.

Using the Power Triad, and the Charm Formula will allow me to be aware of the tools avaliable to me.  I am really fired up now.  The New Media Matrix brings the big picture into focus.  There is SO much at my fingertips.  WOW.  Stay tuned.

I wanted to share some of my favorite sayings, or affirmations,  so…

If I had a choice of being rewarded on 100% of my efforts or 1% of what 100 others do-I will take the 1%, that’s the power of network marketing.     someone, para-phrased

I am worthy, for I am part of the divine perfection.   Dr John Demartini

There is suffering in life, and there are defeats.  No one can avoid them.  But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for.      Paulo Coelho

Time flies like the wind, fruit flies like bananas.     some silly boy    Good Nite,   rick

baby wants to jetski       She MAY actually want A jetski.  She mentions it, under her breath sometimes, then out loud during certain moods.  She has this picture.  When she was about 15, they had jetskis (two of them) lined up outside the house.  As you may have figured out, they lived on the water…….in Hawaii.

She has expensive dreams.  But that’s good.  Got to have a why.  You want to know the other one?

Baby wants a BMW 3 series.  Red, with a little blueish in it.  Or Metallic Gray, or Silver.  (Not purple, not maroon.)  I want her to have one.  I could see myself in a new car, but I don’t have a clear picture yet.  No car for Ricky!  She can’t either until she gets this color thing right.

I don’t think you can really start a journey and have a plan, if you don’t know where you are going.  We are going to the jetski store…in the future.  I can see us on the darn things.  Bouncing as we catch the waves.  Catching air.    THAT’S how I roll.

Salt water spraying, in our eyes, getting some sun.

I just kinda sneak into her dreams, because I can.

Otherwise the long hours working at home can be tedious.  The turn downs, the idiots, the wrong numbers on the phone seem like a weight on my shoulders with no reason to continue on.  Her years at Dr. school were rough, except for when she saw that carrot just ahead of her.

Baby likes to travel.  She’s no Motel 6, Super 8, or Zinger Motel kind of lady.  We pay someone to watch the cats, and THAT’S not a bad gig.  We’ve been in the seats of the front of the plane, and we never want to go back.

Baby likes the restaurant leaning over the cliff, rather than the steakhouse chain, or the cafeteria style place.  She deserves it, she’s a Dr.  I deserve it, I’m with her.

She sends fruit baskets for Christmas (not fruitcakes), she always gives good gifts.

Baby pays some of my bills as I move towards my financial goals (which are hers as well).  Lost a couple of the women there, did’nt I?

I see us at some fancy couples resort, or maybe a cruise ship spa, side by side, getting treatments with oils, getting massaged and loving life.  She’s really led me to great health.  I rub her feet like no one else can.  And by the way, no one else can.

We’ll be there, in a convertible, cruising up Highway 1 towards San Francisco, from Pismo Beach.  You either know what I am talking about, or you need to get out more.  I mean c’mon, put us in a Visa commercial or something!

The old Rick used phrases like “I can’t afford that” “Wish I could go there   “  “When I get outta debt, I’ll…..”(fill in the blank)  “Someday I’ll”

YOU NEVER GET TO SOMEDAY I’LL.  Your ship does not JUST come in.  That’s like expecting to win the lottery but not purchasing a ticket.  Not going to work.  Want to get paid to play the lottery, just ask…….or go to http://www.PaidToPlayLottery.com

To get somewhere, you HAVE to see it, see yourself there, kick the tires, take it for a spin, make an offer, have a plan, pretend, act as if you’re already there.  Some put the pics up in the office, bathroom etc.

You also have to believe that you are worthy, deserving, and see yourself in possession, earning it, etc.  You have to earn enough money to buy it, lease it, maybe even rent it.

For a good 17 years I had a governor on my financial go-cart.  Remember the go-carts you get in and race against your friends.  Who won?  Assuming you all floored it the whole way, probably the one that happened to be in the front row.  Because of the governors.

Or would you prefer ceiling.

Can’t get over that.  Like a long time employee trading his/her hours for dollars, at the top of the pay scale.  Now THAT’S a motivated worker…….NOT.

You won’t get your dreams and goals working for someone else.  Well maybe, but I bet you adjusted down those lofty goals when reality hit you, somewhere through the years.

So what do you do?

Assuming you are NOT the next Beckham (who?) or Peyton Manning, or Prince Fielder, or Tiger Woods….And if you aren’t threatening Carrie Underwood or Beyonce, or Bruce Springsteen for performing excellence…….

For ‘normal’ people like me, Network Marketing, home-based business, perhaps internet marketing, all seem to be the best hope.  That is, to make the big bucks, get free(r) with your time, and hit those big goals.

Get that clear picture of a Why, a plan to achieve it, find a GREAT company, and you could be off to the races.

I am so grateful and thankful for:

HAD to go to the beach, Doctor’s orders.  I really like the beach, but it’s a sizeable chunk of time in the middle of my day.  And I am my own boss, which is good,  but it can be bad.  Some of you know what I mean.  My wife is a Chiropractor and Holistic Healer (Dr Malia).  She told me to go, so I went. 

You see, I am a work at home guy, a Network Marketer.  And now, I have developed a system.  I have two computers that are running to increase my efforts, and some of the time, I have three, including my wife’s.  So that’s 3 computers on in my office.  Here’s the problem.  That’s a whole lot of EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) bouncing off the walls, and my body was starting to show the affects.  I was ’sparky’ or maybe glowing, I don’t know, the lights were on.

So the solution is to go to the beach.  Of course a lot of people go to the beach, but I had to actually go INTO the salt water.  I love it, did I mention that.  The salt water helps dissipate the damage from the EMFs (Electro Magnetic Frequencies).  I know, most of you aren’t aware of the EMFs.  It’s not some fringe theory, the tests can show the bright red marks on the side of the head with a thermography camera where we place the cell phones.  Many sit in front of computers all day long.  You have EMFs my friend. 

Now, there are things that help.  There is a ‘bio-chip’ or small vinyl football-looking brown thingy that you put on the phone.  They have them for puters, for TVs, for wherever the EMFs come from.  Ever get that hot feeling on the ear that you use the most for your cell.  Me too.  I always use the left.  That’s my cell ear.

So I’m at the beach, just chillin’ like a villian.  I play this game.  I call some people to just talk with the waves in the background.  It’s kinda like, I’m at the beach, and your’e NOT.  Yeah, I was working, sorta.  I made about 6 work calls then checked in with my mentor.  It’s not a real fun game, yet.  It will be more fun down the road, just wait.

So I am relaxing, sunning and enjoying life, and this kid walks up.  A little cutie, I guess about 3, on the shore.  He’s butt naked, and just lovin’ life.  It actually reminded me of my first REAL memory as a child.

I was probably about that big, in Waukegan, IL on the first day of summer.  Maybe not the official one, but the first one that mom took me down to the beach.  I was excited, and started running full speed toward the water.  (That really is the only way to go into the water in places like Lake Michigan or God forbid, Lake Superior.)  The shock of the coldness goes away pretty quick.

Anyhoo, I made it about 4 steps into the frigid water and screamed in pain as I took that last step.  The shock of the stabbing pain in my right foot led to loud sobs and I probably cried for my mom.  Of course she came running and rescued me.  No, it was not a shark.

I had stepped on a piece of glass left by some teenage or young adult partyers no doubt.  My big toe was throbbing as the blood streamed out.  My mom put some pressure on it, I guess, but they had a first aid guy there pretty quick too.  This was a big deal, first day of the season, I guess.  The Dr. was smoking a cigar the whole time-they did that back in the early 60s.  You can’t get away with that now, ya know. 

That definitely wrecked the moment, but I got a sucker and made the front page of the News Sun the next day for my trouble.  We kept that darn yellowed front page until it disintegrated somewhere along the line.

Anyway, cute kid, just runnin’ in the surf.  Kids in Hawaii got it made, btw. 

But here I am at the beach.  You know people back in Wisconsin where I moved from must think we all spend all day at the beach.  It’s not really like that.  You CAN create a career where you are your own boss, and then you can let yourself go sometimes, but you get the picture.

But back to the sneaky little EMFs.  Electro pollution. It is a real concern.  I have the little football on my phone and I wear a necklace that interfers with the current, minimizing the damage. 

I do know that I get headaches, and that scary hot feeling from my cell.  My wife, who IS an expert, can test for the dangerous levels.  You didn’t know that your cell phone was bad for you, did you?
