Shaklee

Today I feel the need to write about an awesome company that has been in business for over 50 years. This company stands behind all their products with a money back guarantee and have had their products featured on shows like Oprah, Good Morning America, Rachael Ray, Today and several others!

That company is called Shaklee! Shaklee's products are no joke. I just started using their products at the end of February and wonder why I didn't start sooner. You see, my sister has been using Shaklee for over 2 years but I didn't think the products would be any good, even when my sister would tell me what they have been doing for her and her family.

I have not used all their products yet but I plan on trying everything at one time or another. So far I use the cleaning products, Nutriferon, Stress Relief Complex, Vitamins, Children's vitamins, parfume and skin care line. I just ordered Cinch to try and lose a few inches, so we'll see how that goes.

I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart, these products really do work. I'll give a little testimonial about a couple things.

Nutriferon: This is my favourite. I take one a day (recommend 2) and since I've been using it, at the beginning of March, I have not been sick. Twice one or two of my chilren and husband had come down with colds. I doubled up the morning I felt a sore throat coming on. After that, I didn't get anything, not even a sniffle! Then when I was in Toronto, when my dad was in the hospital, my sister and mom came down with a wicked cold. I woke up feeling like I was going to get it full blown. Guess what....nothing after that! I am still amazed!

Lets talk about Scour Off. This is a cleaning paste that smells like bubble gum. It is used for ovens, soap scum or anything that is hard to get clean. I used it on the range hood above my stove. I burn candles and I had a black soot-like residue that would not come off. I didn't want to use an SOS or scrubber because I didn't want to scratch it. I got my Get Clean order and tried the Scour Off on it! It came off without even trying!! I have pictures to prove it lol! Amazing!

The Basic H2 is great for everything from wood to glass to bathrooms. It's super concentrated so you only need a small amount. Get this, one bottle of Basic H2 will make 5000 bottles of window cleaner! You only need 2 drops in a bottle of 16oz of water!!

The only way to know how these products work is to try them, you won't regret it. Get a hold of me if you want to try these products at gogreen@taram.ws

Take care!

Staying Motivated When You Work At Home

Working at home is a dream that many people have and some are even able to pursue it successfully. When a person works for someone else outside the house they usually have a list of tasks to be completed for that day. If they do not have a list then they have some kind of schedule they need to follow so everything that needs to be done gets done on time.

Getting the necessary tasks done in a day can be a difficult accomplishment if a person runs a business from their home. They do not have a boss looking over their shoulder to make sure things are on schedule, therefore they may become slack in their business. Having someone else tell you what to do may be easier for some people.

If you do run a business from your home, some things that can be done to stay motivated can range from making a simple to do list to getting a family member or friend to check up on you from time to time. It is easier to stay on track if distraction are not present to keep you from doing your work.

Making a to do list at the beginning of each day or month or even at the end of each day can help to keep you organized and on schedule during your work time. As each task is completed, crossing them off and moving on is motivating because you can actually see your progress.

Putting a bulletin board in your work space may also help keep you motivated. Keep the board full of motivating pictures, quotes and dreams. Figure out why you are working from home and make a collage that represents your reasons for working at home. It may be a picture of a new house or a quote from your favourite person. How about pictures of your children if you have them.

Sometimes just thinking about what your goals are and writing them on a piece of paper can be enough to keep your motivation up. Financial freedom, independence or children can be powerful motivators to keep you on track and help you to push your business to success.

Your family members may also want to help you to stay motivated. They might remind you that when it is business hours you need to keep working until the tasks are done, no wandering or long breaks. Even a quick phone call to check up may get you back on track.

Keep all distracting items out of your work space until you have enough discipline to stay away from them while working. A television, stereo, games or whatever it is that distract you should stay off so you do not forget why you are there.

If you decide to make a schedule that requires you to work from eight to eleven am, with a list of tasks, it is easier to buckle down and get everything done than if you just winged it from hour to hour without knowing exactly what it is that you need to finish.

Staying Focused While Working at Home

When staying at home to work it can be very easy to become distracted. If there are others in the house or things need to get done around the house the mind can start to wander and forget about the task at hand. Also if you are working your business on a computer surfing onto other sites and checking email may become distracting to you.

Some things you can do to avoid this might be to have a list ready at the beginning of each work day of all the things you would like to accomplish. When these tasks are finished you can cross them off the list and have a visual reminder of how the day is going and what is being accomplished.

Check your email once in the morning then make sure it is off while you are working. It is so easy to keep clicking over to check your email when it is sitting open on your desktop, especially if you have audible or visual notifications when an email arrives. Check it two or three times a day so it does not get in the way of business.

Kids running around can be the ultimate distraction. They are usually the reason one stays home to work but it can also be very difficult to get things done, especially if they are young and require a lot of care. One way around this is to work when they are sleeping or when the other parent can entertain them for a while. Taking a couple hours a day to get some real work done should not be too difficult once you work out a schedule around the children.

Surfing the internet or the television can be a big distraction also. It is so easy to stumble upon a website that looks interesting and keeps you occupied for a half an hour before you even realize you stopped working. Make sure you know exactly what sites you need to be on while working and do not wander anywhere else until the task at hand is complete.

Basically, the solution for not losing focus in your work at home business is to find a quiet room to be alone, turn off the television, have your to do list handy and keep the email turned off until all the work is completed. Sending the kids off with a loved one, if you absolutely need to, could also be something to consider.

If any of these things are preventing you from building your business, it is time to step back and figure out what needs to change. Once you set up a schedule and follow it things will move along smoothly day after day. That does not mean you cannot take a day off though, to do the things you want.

As a matter of fact, a day off here and there is essential to keep your mind focused, especially in the early days of building your home business.
