This week Fred and Staci Ninow, and Ken Dunn were in Vietnam to launch Ocean Avenue, and will be in Indonesia next week. Ocean Avenue is currently in the pre-enrollment stage accepting people who understand the first mover’s advantage, timing and positioning. This pre-enrollment period is for folks that are business builders who want to capitalize on that first mover advantage. Our pre-launch period will start on November 1st with our official launch planned for the end of February 2013.

Main headquarters is located in South Jordan, Utah
Toronto, Canada – 5,000 square foot office, fully staffed
Jakarta, Indonesia 4,000 square foot office in a luxury shopping center
Vietnam (expansion planned within a month or two after initial public launch)

Health/Wellness Product Line:
Empower, WheyBeyond, WheySmart, Invigorate and Focus work together to improve every aspect of your health, giving your family the life advantage they deserve. Ocean Avenue’s products were researched and formulated by renowned scientist, Franco Cavaleri BSc NB, a nutritional biochemist and the founder of multiple research and development corporations. His scientific research and development resulted in extensive recognition in the health industry, including distinctive formulation awards and best-seller statuses for his books. Feel free to go to my website for more details on the products.

Ocean Avenue is starting on day 1 with millions of dollars of inventory sitting in the warehouses. Products are being made in USA, Canada and Indonesia. The ability to enroll customers will start November 1st.

Ocean Avenue and Their Focus on the Family:
The company is using an online learning platform that teaches children value based principles that deals with concepts related to success and self-improvement. One feature will include a virtual Time Machine that lets kids create an avatar and go back in time to interact with and learn from figures from history from Einstein to Gandhi. There will also be Kid’s Conventions which will be focused on teaching your children about free enterprise, business ethics and capitalism. I can see this going very far to broaden and deepen the sense of community within the organization, which is what really keeps the good network marketing companies going.

Ocean Avenue is allowing children who are ages 16 and older (with parent’s permission) to sign up in the business.

Ocean Avenue Compensation Plan:

The Ocean Avenue compensation plan is an unique one among MLM companies. Brings the power of the unilevel, matrix, and binary (hybrid binary) compensation plans into a single model. After evaluating the industry, they have chosen to run with a proven plan that takes the best qualities of both the uni-level and binary compensation structures. However, this plan is NOT To be mistaken with the traditional “juice blend cycle” binaries many networker’s are beginning to shy away from.

Ocean Avenue’s compensation structure is heavily focused on the front end of the plan. It provides a much easier opportunity for the average part timer to generate a residual paycheck. The plan offers the stability of a uni-level on the front end and the excitement of a dual structure infinite bonus that maxes out at $75,000 per week! The pay-plan also includes a generational check match and a fun bonus point program that can be used for family trips. One of the most exciting features in Ocean Avenue is dollar for dollar BV on all reoccurring orders! See my website for full compensation plan details.

Bonuses:
Family vacations are a key focus for Ocean Avenue. Rather than going the car bonus route, the company has developed a Vacation Club. Meaning, distributors can earn paid family vacations when they order products, promote, build their team, go to conventions. Same with customers– Customers earn points for ordering products and when their children go on Ocean Avenue’s website and learn lessons on entrepreneurship etc. Awesome strategy to help with retention. Why quit your business or stop ordering products (customers) if your getting points to go on paid vacations of your choice?

Growth Potential:
Ocean Avenue did over $600,000 in revenue in 30 hours after accepting pre-enrollments in the U.S. and Canada. This does not include data from Indonesia or Vietnam.

Where are you taking your brand as you are building a business? 

Everything you are doing during your daily social media connecting, you are really building your brand. Your branding is all about who you are, and what your business stands for. Do you post videos in your shorty shorts... maybe if you are teaching a fitness class online, but not if you are sharing a favorite recipe. And I hope not if you are trying to recruit people. You may find that who you portray in the personal world can overlap into your business world pretty quickly. I've seen women that were stalked that's to the quick ability of people to find out everything about you via social media when they thought they were just "having a good time" and portraying that online.

Speaking of brands, do you want to purchase a fitness program from someone that gripes all the time about how they caved again and ate another giant cinnamon bun for breakfast? Do you think they really know what it takes to get healthy? What about a diet shake from someone who's waist size hasn't changed in the last year while drinking it? If you aren't authentic and you aren't going to live the lifestyle you promote, you may have picked the wrong business. It's like the jewelry rep that never wears a necklace. You have to be the picture on the front cover of the magazine that makes them want to BE you!

Let's take it further. Is your brand image filled with pictures of you partying it up, smashed out of your mind with your pals? Who is going to have faith that you can give them the quality advice to build a successful business if you seem to not even have a grip on your own life. You need to realize that who you are is going to come back and bite you on the behind if you let it, and so don't let it. Be the person you want to be, be the brand you want to share. Let's talk about how you can build a brand, instead of damage your brand.

Start with your strengths when building a brand

Start right now by creating a list of your strengths you bring to your business. How can you share those strengths with your social media audience. If you are very tech savvy, share tips on the best apps on the market, how to make your email box more organized, or how to use an online calendar to keep on task. Do you LOVE to cook? Share recipes and pictures of the amazing foods you are making for friends and family members. Do you love to style others? Do videos about how you would style for the Christmas season, or for family pictures, or job interviews. Share who you are and you'll be not only building a business, but building a personal brand that will help you reach the level of success that you are looking for.

Using email marketing technology to branch out your business using the funnel

Funnel it is. Right? If you are building brand relationships in your entrepreneur live then you have to be using the idea of funneling someone into your business. That doesn't mean you are looking at each friend like a dollar sign is tattooed on their forehead. It means that you are working with people, and if they have a need that you can support then you want to be able to be at the right moment of the relationship to share it with them. That's the funnel.

Also as a business owner if you are like me you have so much going on, that there isn't one marketing ad currently on your plate, there are 10. You aren't dealing with 10 customers you are dealing with hundreds. So that is why I love using a very compound effect style of marketing with the latest technology tools.

More than one website, who doesn't? I am Barbara Christensen and I have a domain addiction. :-) I find that using automation within a great email campaign tool allows me to stay on top of my job as a coach, a trainer, an Ambassador of good health. I need to make sure I'm there for my clients... all of my clients. This allows me to set things up for where they are, when they need it. It's there.

Watch this video that will share some of what I do with my business, and hopefully it will help you out.

Glutathione is an effective antioxidant that fights free radicals in your body

Glutathione is such an amazing antioxidant, and the more I learn about it, the more excited I get. Ever wonder why some people get sick and others don't? Higher glutathione levels means you have stronger defenses. Even germs you already have will clear up when your immune system starts kicking. This antioxidant action also detoxifies your liver, helping you be less sensitive to allergens {my favorite part!}, and removes the toxins that can lead to cancer and other diseases.I read recently about how the amino acid cysteine is often used in supplement form to treat respiratory conditions, as well as other conditions. I have a lot of friends that are either suffering from continued respiratory issues, or with Hurricane Sandy they've got some serious issues with mucus and breathing that have been brought up by the damage and the lingering mold issues. So cysteine most typically comes in its acetylcysteine form when used as a supplement, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Once taken, your body converts the supplement into cysteine, then to glutathione. It's the glutathione that is the key here... and you can get that from a great undenatured whey product. 


When you are sick you probably use guaifenesin ( Mucinex) alone or a combined with cough syrup. They prescribed this to get through the worst part of your cold, but it is not recommended for chronic, ongoing problems because guaifenesin stimulates lubrication of the lungs. So doing more research I found that they have proven that, without exception, every lung patient has decreased, deficient levels of glutathione (GSH) in their lung lining fluid. WOW! Who knew. Your lungs are exposed to everything in the air and so mother nature conveniently placed GSH in the lung lining fluid to offset the harm of pollutants, smoke, chemicals...you know all of those toxins that you are breathing in on a daily basis. But after long-term respiratory issues and over-exposure to these elements your GSH supply becomes inadequate and that's when the lungs start losing ground.

When you already have a problem with mucus and breathing, the last thing you need is a cold or bronchitis. It takes you longer to get over it the more times it happens. Each time our founder got bronchitis, it was worse and lasted longer. It left damage, and deepened the cycle of mucus and vulnerability. In fact in Europe they are already using glutathione rich products and glutathione creating medications for Cystic Fibrosis patients. In patients with cystic fibrosis the levels of glutathione in the lung drop. They are using glutathione products to increase the levels of glutathione, and they believe to reduce inflammation and
help maintain normal composition of mucus. This way it is expected to relieve the symptoms of the
patients.

I love this video where Dr. Oz talks about glutathione - and I hope that you will research how it can help you.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower

One of the item I really miss since I gave up meat is the buffalo wings at Squatter's Pub in Salt Lake City, Utah. I also once had the wings at the Pike's Bar and Grill in Seattle at the Pike's Market and they are comparable. For me it must be spicy and it's been an item that I really really miss in life. The Curvy Carrot posted this great recipe, but I don't do buttermilk and so I needed to change it up... but it's to die for.

Buffalo-style Cauliflower

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 cup sprouted eikorn flour or your choice of all-purpose gluten-free flour
2 teaspoons garlic puree,
1 teaspoon himilayan salt
1 cup Frank's Original Hot Sauce {gluten free and kosher}
1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted



Directions: 
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. In a small bowl mix coconut milk and apple cider vinegar.
2.  In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk mixture, flour, and garlic, salt, whisking until mostly smooth (it’s ok if there are a few lumps left).
3. Very gently (cauliflower can be pretty delicate), place the cauliflower in the bowl and lightly toss to completely coat with the mixture.
4. Place the cauliflower in a shallow baking dish and bake for about 15-18 minutes or so (watch it, it may start to brown up quickly on you.)
5. Meanwhile, combine the buffalo sauce and the melted coconut oil in a small bowl.
6. Carefully remove the hot cauliflower from the oven and pour the buffalo sauce mixture over it, stirring gently to coat it as best you can.

Prepping for the Ocean Avenue 30 Day Challenge by jumping back on the Sugar-free wagon

So it's always hard with the holiday to be totally sugar-free, and for me it only takes a little to start craving a ton. And you are going to cave if your attitude is that you have two options. Stuffing greens in your mouth or eating the good stuff.

What about you? 

Does that little sugar devil sit on your shoulder cheering you on to take just one more dark chocolate peppermint truffle? That's the problem, when you add sugar and wheat into your diet it because a fight of the addiction rather than a fight of the senses. That can easily turn into a chaotic cycle of sugar overload if you allow it to like a lot of us did this Thanksgiving weekend.

And Sugar can cause stress. 

So what about the rest of it all...
