“Lanikai Oh Lanikai”, sung to the tune of Galveston, by Glenn Campbell.

It’s unbelievable here.  It’s now 2 AM and I am typing this in my loft office as the breezes dominate the sounds outside, rather than the old H-1 and 16th Ave. noises my wife and I were used to.  Around 11PM and sometimes midnight every night, it seemed there would be the extreme blasts of the fast cars or motorcycles on H-1.  I imagined that it was the exact time of shift change for HPD, which could explain the timing.

Thye city of Honolulu seems like a distant memory to me already.

None of that here.  I guess the mansion next door has automatic sprinklers, cuz they just kicked in.  If my wife was here I am sure she would thnk that was the rain.  It is so wonderful to hear the rain here, as well.

For those of you who don’t know Lanikai, well, you don’t know what you don’t know.  When we were first offered the chance to stay here for a short while, I told my wife NO, and went over the list of reasons, so matter-of-fact(ly), so logically.  I was Ben Franklin, with the legal pad with the pros and the right and the cons on the left.  By the way that method is over-rated, we all know we can manipulate the process. 

Anyway, like many things, talking about Lanikai Beach, connected to Kailua Beach, is just NOT good enough.  It has to be experienced.  You could notice, some night in the area, how extravagant the moon and stars look through the tops of the palm trees, but chances are you’d miss it. 

You could ‘luck out’ and catch a photo with the fading available light as the sun dips behind the mountain here.  You know, it is more of a hill, but mountain sounds good, doesn’t it?

You may catch a nice picture of the Mokes, (the Mokulua Islands), but not really ‘get it.’

There is really nothing like the daily “hey, I’m on vacation” feel here.  It is incredible to catch the various shades of shadowy light in the evening and snap as many ‘perfect’ pics as you want.  And I can’t wait to catch another unique sunrise from behind the Mokes.  In 3 more hours….ouch.

Anyway, if it sounds like I am bragging, I failed.  As a painter attempts to catch a moment, I want to share a few of the magical moments here.  Besides my wife is off-island tonite and I am up late.

Our time here may be limited.  If this is heaven, God, I DO want to stay here forever.  Just wanted to get THAT out there.  We are so blessed.  Thank God I married wisely….. 

Of course I will show pics soon.  But give me a minute, we just got the computer set up today.  So it’s me and the cat(s) off to bed for now…………aloha 

Why I am writing is that this new venture is making me 1% a day, while advertising my websites to over 500 people a week.  Granted it is only a 5 to 15 second page view, but who knows, once in a while someone may save my site or stay on it and I will get a conversion that way.  The real beauty is that it supports my main businesses and pays me cash just to have money invested.

In other words if you would decide to enroll, you would have you website in the rotation to be viewed by the thousands of members randomly.  You would fulfill your obligation (earn the right to advertise) by viewing/surfing sites for between 10 and twenty minutes a day.  It is interesting when you start.  I started with 20 bucks in, and I watched the 20 cents, then up to 22 cents each day and so on.  For my original investment of 20 dollars, in about 3 weeks I now have 26.00.

What is interesting is that people that choose to purchase ad packages in the thousands can make hundreds a day.  Then you compound the earnings by sharing this with others.  Now, again, if YTB is working, the money may not be the motivator, but as you add downline in one business that trust you, you can sometimes make them a part of your trusted loyal ‘tribe’ and share other ideas with them.

Some may take offense or call you a scammer for putting together huge email mailouts (I don’t mind)  but if you are doing business with these people and perhaps just sharing another opportunity that is working for you….it’s more accepted.

If the money is not necessary and I think we know scriptures that warn us about greed, then perhaps you can share this with others that DO need the income from home.  I have found that there are many who will not recruit no matter what, for traditional MLMs.  It is not in their nature.  This, however, will allow them to make some cash and build trust in the company before they send someone to a site.  Besides where else can you legitimately enroll for 20 dollars in something that works well, quickly and is this easy to share?

Now if I did not know you well already, but felt I had enough of a relationship or let’s say permission, to ‘pitch’ you, I’d say this.

(Friend),

I know we know each other and I have previously shared about my travel business.  It is still going well, but a good friend of mine has shared this new venture with me and I have added it as yet another stream of income.  It is so easy.  They pay us to advertise our website, just for spending a couple of minutes every day looking at ads. 

I suggest starting for 20 dollars, (like we did) and just having fun with it.  As you start to earn 1% or more EVERY DAY, perhaps you will increase your investment (advertising package) and even share it with others.

Go to www.asdcashgenerator.com/?ref=53127 and take a look.  If when you sign up you need my number, use 53127 as your sponsor.  You will set up/go to your site, and the menu will stay start surfing.  You get 2 company ads first, which you watch as the counter counts down the seconds, then you click on the corresponding color tab to move on.  When you get to around 25, you have fulfilled your daily surf requirements.  You can stop, but I always go on ’til they make me stop (73 credits).

These credits are the amount of views that you now can use for your site.  Set up your website(s) and just keep periodically transferring the credits so that that site keeps getting viewed.  No site? no worries, use mine    :)  In other words, if doing it just to make some money from home, put any site (with permission of course).  You COULD use your ASD site I guess.  I would NOT suggest they join YTB at that point (495.00?) but perhaps some other site that is free or low-cost.

People can put their blogs, as I will in the future, or perhaps their employers site (again, with permission.)  I mean this is a bonanza for Realtors-put a listing site, or businesses…..Keep in mind that the surfers are from all over the country, though.                 Call me if you have more questions   Suzie Lou (not her real name)………..but my real ASD site and #

As you fulfill your ad-watching/surfing obligation, you CAN put on headphones/turn down the speaker volume, do little tasks around the house, cuz no one will know if you focused on the offers.  I have only really clicked on a few, but have used the names on a few sites to write down for future prospecting.  Again, I do that carefully.  I actually think it is valuable to see the many different ‘ideas’ and some very interesting sites along the way.

Alright, to conclude.  go to www.asdcashgenerator.com/?ref=53127 which will put me as your sponsor (53127) and ‘take off’.'   Rick 

It’s here, and as usual I don’t care.  I am about as patriotic as the next person, but isn’t Memorial Day for that?

My wife (Dr. Malia) and I are chillin’ like villians and I could use a day off, but we really are hoping that there are some stores open when we go to run errands.  It has been a good year.  I guess this is the half way point isn’t it?

I have so much to be grateful for.  I live in Hawaii.  I now have a fantastic job.  I am slowly getting used to the fact that I now work 40 hours at an office rather than from home.  Give me a little more time on that.  The job will really reward me for the skills I have been developing over the years and I am a bit surprised still that it all came about. 

I am in sales at Your EZ to Use Island Pages, an independent directory here in Hawaii.  We are part of a huge company, Ogden Directories that runs many newspapers and telephone directories and even owns the Pittsburgh Pirates.  (I know, I know, I wouldn’t brag TOO much about the Pirates’ season, but it’s a small fraternity of people that are Major League Baseball team owners.)   Who do ya know that needs Yellow Pages advertising? 

I have my Zrii business, and I am ratcheting it down just a bit.  My wife and I are healthier because of this tremendous liquid nutritional and I get a check.  I will still make calls but the bulk of my non 40 hour work time THIS weekend is aimed at my new job. 

Zrii = http://www.rickemmerich.myzrii.com

My Holy Tea business is chugging along.  I am in profit and I have lost 20 lbs since last Christmas.  People are getting healthier becasue of it.  That’s a win-win, so adding in a bit of profit is gravy.  www.holyteaclub/rickemmerich

I have a new business that I feel is going to be a very timely operation.  Xziex makes water from the air, or atmosphere.  Just think about that for a minute. 

Anyone who lives in an area that has problems producing water from their aquifers, or wonders about its quality, read on.  Anyone who is concerned about the health hazards that come from posioned water, or who is concerned about terrorists targeting our water, pay attention.  If you think that we put FAR too many plastic bottles from the bottled water we drink into the landfills, this may be for you.  If you question the quality of tap water that is ‘purified’ by bottlers, like I do….check this out.  (I think I covered everyone there.)

Thank God I am writing this today.  My life took a left turn about 4 years ago and in 6 weeks I will celebrate the 4 year anniversay of my heart attack.  Yes you read that correctly.  Thank God I had a heart attack.  You can read more about it at this blog site.  http://rickemmerich.com   I will be a part of a book that we expect to publish early next year.  It is Thank God I Had A Heart Attack.   Right now the first book of the series is out.   Thank God I…   To pick up a copy, go to http://thankgodi.com/?idAff=4

The real reason that I am NOT that excited today is that I am not a huge fan of fireworks-never have been.  My wife and I have two cats.  They like them even less.  So we may have to bundle them up and head to her office where they will not have to hear the noises that remind us all of ‘the bombs bursting in air.’  What good did those bombs bursting in air do anyway?  

As I taxied toward takeoff on my new favorite airline Jet Blue, I reflected on the previous 4 days.  Zrii was launched!  I had gotten a high concentration of my favorite product, frequently double-dipping at the Zrii Bar.  I hung out with my upline, and talked to one of the highest paid IEs in the company. I took a lot of notes on techniques, strategies, dreams and visions.  I met famous BBall player Thurl Bailey and got his autograph.  I sponsored a guy in the hot tub at the Hilton-still waiting for him to actually follow through. I found a check on the sidewalk which I returned (of course.)  The couple was so happy that they gave me a bronze staue that the husband had created.  Being in Salt Lake City (SLC) I wasn’t sure if it was Joseph Smith (mormon dude) or Jesus.  I was hoping it was Jesus but leaning towards the other guy.  I have proclaimed him JESUS. I watched Bill Farley so eloquently announce our start and then pour out his thoughts.  I know Deepak Chopra thrilled the crowd and Thurl Bailey and Chris Gardner (Pursuit of Happyness) spoke so well also.  Many others, including Jason Domingo, our master distributor gave out nuggets of wisdom too. Anyway, with all of the new materials and sales aids and theories, and with the celebrities behind us, I look so forward to continuing to build this-Look Out.  Zrii is SO ready to hit unheard of goals for a company starting out.  The Pre Launch phase worked out all the kinks very early on, and now we are at full gallop.   I see so much integrity in the management. So, what’s next.  Well more of the same-many phone calls, some in-person (belly to belly) presentations and more people that have dreams like I do finding ways through this company to acheive them.  Join us!     

No we weren’t hypnotized, no Dragonfly Ranch, and we didn’t fly over the stinking volcano either….

We just got back from our visit to the Big Island, and we DID get some things done. It was a kind of a second honeymoon, and we did the things that honeymooners do.  We also stayed in a villa in the Hilton Waikoloa area, and we liked the place so much we bought it!  Fractionally, of course.

For those that don’t care about that part here are some of the more interesting parts.

The vog (volcanic fog) was out and for that reason and just the time factor, we did not venture over to the places we wanted to see near the volcano.  It obscured the views we would normally have.

We strolled around the Hilton Waikoloa grounds and talked to the dolphin trainer on duty.  They just had a calf (the dolphins did) and the trainers were taking turns pulling the night-watch shift.  Of course on the grounds you will see a rhinocerous and horses and a Buddha-all statues.  In the parking lots there are a lot of cats, presumably waiting for handouts.

As is common in Hawaii we saw a mongoose, and then, up north we saw, and interacted with, some horses, the real live kind.  Then, down south we saw a zebra, yeah really brah, and two longhorn steer.  They looked contented, obviously all out of their ‘normal’ territories.  It was so unusual for me, that I was walking around trying to get better camera angles, and even somehow thinking they could have been fakes.  I mean some old hippie artist could have had a field day painting the stripes on that horse to make him a zebra.  I’m pretty sure that it WAS real, (he had zebra ears) and I will have the picture to show it-soon.

Also, as we ventured down a steep incline toward a marina, and then  headed back, we ran into a family of turkeys that really had no intention of sharing their road with our rental car.  I did NOT actually ‘run into them.’

The real excitement was, as we crammed too many activities into the last day was that we almost ran out of gas.  Some places had gas pumps as we headed south out of Kona, and after a while, I realized that the gas pumps were no more.  In fact houses for the most part, were no more.  Off to the left was lava, and off to the right was a sometimes very steep decline to the Pacific Ocean.

Well we slowed a little, coasted some down hills, turned of the air conditioner and prayed.  My wife was a little stressed, and I went through all the possibilities in my head should we have to coast to a stop amidst the moon-like terrain.  They all involved hitch-hiking and missing our flight home.

Then we saw it!  The last gas station for another 8 miles, at least.  We refuled, bought some Pringles, and turned around, admitting defeat to our plan to make it to South Point, the apropriately named southern most point in the US.  For those of you who are thinking Key West, that’s the continental US.

We headed back and stopped briefly for some Kona coffee, and some Key Lime pie.  How could you not?  The bonus there was the beautiful view (even with the vog) of Kealakekua Bay.  We were in a wooden structure teetering over the cliff.  Please remind me not to be THERE when the next earthquake hits.

All in all a great trip.  I will talk about some of the natural wonders next blog…..rick

This letter was sent to answer questions raised by someone I contacted about Zrii today….

Aloha,

   My wife Dr. Malia says that Zrii absolutely will help those with Chronic Fatique.  She is not trying to diagnose you here, or any one particular person without meeting them BUT….Zrii has adaptagen qualities to be able to handle stress.  As you know and I just learned, Chronic Fatigue, Fibromyalgia and other auto-immune conditions where the body attacks itself cause adrenal exhaustion.

   Of course, those conditions when not cared for can lead to Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, severe allergies, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Cancers.  People that don’t reduce stress (Zrii specifically helps that), exercise, and/or sleep enough will find further complications like those I listed. 

   Stress that I had 4 years ago, along with a terrible diet, and lack of exercise led me to have a heart attack.  My body was in fight-or-flight mode all the time, and even when I laid down to ‘rest’ my sleep wasn’t that good, or long enough.  I am NOT a Dr, but I have this experience to share from.  We have used Zrii almost daily since August and we feel more energy, lower stress, better endurance for workouts, and better sleep quality.  Others have suggested their their pain from arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, and fibromaylgia have been eased or eliminated.  There is a natural anti-inflamatory quality from the ingredients in the drink.  Neither my wife nor I work FOR Zrii nor have we cleared these statements with the Drs at Zrii.  We DO know one of them, Dr. Suhas, and we highly recommend that you check with the SAB (Science Advisory Board) calls on the site to find out more.

I’m zriiiming on a sunday afternoon.  My new question on my mind is “How GREAT will it feel to be a 7 Star with Zrii?”  To those in Zrii, the Original Amalaki, that’s a lofty goal, but also one that can lead to retirement income and real financial freedom.  To get to 7 Star by Sept. 30 would assure one of being part of a very elite group, those that acheive the Founder’s Bonus.

The company has guessed that the Founder’s Bonus will be somewhere around 50K this first year, but as the company grows that yearly exclusive group will earn more and more and more.

It is something to shoot for for sure, but not just by signing up and talking to a few friends.

I have chosen to build using a series of 90 day blitzes.  I am ending one in 8 days.  While I know that I was in a real learning mode the first 90 days, this second one has panned out well.  For those that are interested in how a 90 Day Blitz works, click on the ultimate success cds link on this site.  Go ahead, get the free stuff anyway. 

I am just an average guy.  I feel that I have a good work ethic.  They say that when a Network Marketing Company really takes off, that those who are there (HERE) at the beginning can make big money even if average.   Those that are really good, will truly excel.

On the flipside, with companies that have been around a long time, it really take excellence to make big money with them.  Take that Amway/Quixtar/Amway.

Anyway for those of you who would like to join us, it is the right time now.  You could just get in, and use the product, and improve your health.  THAT would be good.  At a later time, if you wanted to build you would be in our group with a group under you already.

Or you could hit the ground running like our new associate Heidi, from NJ did.  She has been in 8 days, I think, and she has gotten two to join her and I have another to place under her right now.

For those that wonder,    “How do I talk to people every day in this business?”  We answer that. 

For those that wonder     “What do I say to those people?”  We answer that.

We have some stellar internet marketers in our group.  We have those that have and are, building using the hotel meetings and one-on-one meetings.  And those of us that are using the phone to recruit are having success, so lets get started.         http://www.rickemmerich.myzrii.com 

We are still in Pre Launch!  That is so interesting to say since our company is taking on the personality of a long time juggernaut in the industry.  All the shipping glitches have been worked out (a LONG time ago).

As we move into a larger space, we wonder if we will need to move again before the paint dries.

We have been on national TV twice so far.  Our 1.5 Million dollar Pre Vost touring vehicle wrapped from head to toe in Zrii branding is coming to a town near you.  OK, not us in Hawaii for a while. 

People are joining us at a record pace.

Numbers are not the only thing, though.  What gets me excited is the quality of the people joining us as IEs, as well as the Customer Service/help people in Salt Lake City.  We seem to be attracting high quality individuals and I suspect that is intentional.

Great health testimonials are coming out about those that have used the product for months now.

Our convention which is the official launch, is in Salt Lake City on May 22nd.  It is going to be a BIG event.  You have to be there.  Bill Farley and Deepak Chopra will be there.  And others?!?!

Wait til we are launched and the more dramatic national exposure starts.  Some of those that are standing on the sidelines waiting to see if we falter will come running.

Companies that view us as competition are taking pot shots at us,   finally.

As they say in India, “When the elephant caravan comes by, the dogs will bark,  but what can they do?”

If YOU are still on the sidelines watching and want to beat the rush to take a look, go to:

In The Bucket List the new movie starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, they present an interesting situation.  No, I won’t give away the movie.

The question is, “Have you found joy in your life?”

Though not real specific, it made me ponder….I know I have and I can tell you a whole bunch of situations.  Perhaps most of us can.  My goal is to do what I love and love what I do, and as a network marketer  working from home, I know I am well on my way to acheiving that. 

So, your’e asking “Is that it?”  the shortest blog known to Rick?

Nope, the second question.  It’s always the second question that gets you.  “Has your life brought joy to others?”

Now, that’s the hard one, and it was not easy to answer in the flick.

So as we go about our days, we have a real question to ponder.  Or, perhaps one to add to the other ponderable situations.

By the way, see the movie.
