HOW YOU CAN AVOID FINANCIAL CRISES DURING RECESSION

There is no doubt that this might not be the best of times for our country Nigeria as the lingering economic recession is actually hitting hard at the personal economy  of most Nigerians. Recession, as we are experiencing now is a period usually associated with decline in economic activities leading to low production of goods and services, low savings and low investment.

I decided to write this post because, with the way things are going in Nigeria, if nothing is done urgently, a greater number of the citizens will slide into what economists call a Vicious Circle of Poverty. That is, a situation where people are poor because they earn very low income, which leads to low level of saving and investment. Low investment leads to low productivity which again leads to low income.

In fact, for many homes in Nigeria today, their problem with the ongoing recession is actually the high cost of goods and services because they are only used to earning and spending. Sadly, the more the recession lingers, the deeper they sink into financial crises with huge debts, inability to pay children school fees, rent, pay for food stuffs, etc.

Being docile and just be apportioning blames between the past and present government in Nigeria will never bring any solution. Even those who are weak, lazy and who failed to plan in the past are now hiding under the covering of the recession as a justification for their inability to succeed.  But, rather than hiding under the umbrella of recession as an excuse for your financial challenges, it is high time you wake from your slumber and be aware that a dramatic change has occurred that requires a dramatic solution.

2 MAJOR OPTIONS YOU MUST TAKE DURING RECESSION

For the ordinary common man on the street, recession simply means “No Money”. Thus, in order to prevent financial crises in a period of economic recession, there are 2 basic options that you have:

a.       Reduce your expenditures

b.      Increase your sources of income

a.       Reduce Your Expenditures: When your income is static, for instance as a salary earner, the only option you have at A time like this is to find ways of cutting down on your expenditures. You will need to have a monthly budget, based on your income and try as much as possible to live within your budget. This may require you to yank off many things like subscription for satellite Tv, doing your laundry by yourself, etc. This is what experts call austerity measures but people don’t like it.   

b.      Increase Your Sources of Income: If you don’t like austerity measures, then creating alternative sources of income is the best and surest way to survive recession. When your income is three or four times higher than your expenditures of course you will not experience any financial crises during recession.

I have observed that so many people would have preferred this second option but, they are usually held back by two major problems – first, lack of money and secondly not knowing the best type of business to invest at a time like this. I will show you the simple solution to these two common problems but before I do that, there is something more important that I must let you know.

Listen; what is actually holding many people down today is not lack of money or lack of viable opportunity but a negative mindset. The simple key for creating financial success is to “Think & Grow Rich” - Napoleon Hills. The bible says in Proverbs 23:7 that, as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Sorry to say this, but, if you are poor, it means you are actually poor in your thinking. And, the only way to correct this is to make up your mind from this moment to be willing and ready to learn and unlearn.

If you continue thinking as you’ve been doing before and be doing things as you are used to, then you will continue to experience the same thing as you‘ve been experiencing before. So, if you are not ready to learn new things and unlearn your old ways, there is no need to continue reading this piece, just hang up here and save your precious time for other things.

Now, I believe you are here because you truly want to know how to solve the twin problem of ‘no money’ and ’how to identify the best business idea’.

Take note that, lack of money is a common problem during period of economic recession so; it’s not peculiar to only you. However, if you’ve made up your mind to create an alternative source of income and you don’t have money, what you should do is to consider business opportunities that have the following attributes:

i.                     Low start-up capital

ii.                   No Overhead costs

iii.                 Very low risk

iv.                 No special skill or entry requirements

v.                   Something you can be doing on part-time while still keeping your job

vi.                 High Market demand

vii.               Shortest return on investment (ROI)

viii.             Can it be operated as home based business

ix.                 Etc

Looking at the above attributes, many business experts and financial analyst had recommended Network Marketing as the best type of investment that you can make at a time of recession. Jim Rohn of blessed memory said, “Networking marketing is the big wave of the future. It's taking the place of franchising, which now requires too much capital for the average person.”          

According to David L. Bach (American financial author, television personality, motivational speaker and entrepreneur), "In Network Business, you don't need to create a business plan or create a product, you only need to find a reputable company, one that you trust, that offers a product or service you believe in and can get passionate about."

Paul Zane Pilzer (American economist, New York Times best-selling author, and social entrepreneur) says, “Of all the entrepreneurial opportunities available today, one of the most important is direct selling, also called network marketing.”  Tony Robbins also said, “What’s beautiful about network marketing is you get all the benefits of being a business owner, without all the headaches, and without the same level of risk. And so I think network marketing is amazing!”

In fact, according to Les Brown, “Network Marketing has produced more MILLIONAIRES than ANY other industry in the history of the world.” Kevin Trudeau (American author, radio personality, salesman, entrepreneur and the undisputed “infomercial king) in his Audio CD, “25 Secrets to Wealth Creation” had recommended Network Marketing as one of the best and fastest way to be making alternative income in a recession.

As I conclude this note, you can achieve your financial dreams even during periods of economic recession using the principle of Other People’s Money (OPM) as advocated by W. Clement Stone and Network business is one sure way to achieve that. Remember, “Most people fail to advance in life because they either don’t recognize opportunity when it’s in front of them, or fail to act on it. It is never for a lack of opportunity” - Jeff Rose.

However, I must sound a note of warning here because; there seems to be a proliferation of network marketing companies today making it even difficult to identify which is the best to follow. Do not fall for the tricks of any network marketing company that has no product offering and same time promising to multiply your money even when you are not doing anything. “Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time - Proverbs 13:11(NLT).

GLUTATHIONE – THE SECRET OF HEALTHY LIVING

Apart from food, water and oxygen, the most important molecule you need to live healthy, look younger and prevent disease is called Glutathione (pronounced “gloota-thigh-own”). It is possible you’ve never heard of it before and or your doctor doesn’t know how to address the epidemic deficiency of this critical life-giving molecule. This is probably because glutathione is not like vitamin c or other drugs that you can just pick up from the counter. It is endogenously produced (produced only inside your body) and each of the trillion cells in your body needs it to stay alive and also to carry out their metabolic functions.

It is important here to note that, you are as healthy as your cellular health. Even when we were in the primary school and secondary school, we were taught that cells are the basic building blocks of life. Our body is actually made up of different cells. A group of cells forms the tissue, a group of tissue forms the organ, the organs makes up the system and system form the body.

Every second of the day, our cells are under constant attack by germs, bacteria, viruses, pollution, toxins, drugs, oxidative stress, etc which can harm the cells adversely. These damages to the cells could make the cells inactive or malfunction. Therefore to be able to checkmate these violent and persistent attacks, God had created something in our body called Glutathione to help each of the cells fight and win the battle.

Medical scientists call it the ultimate cell protector or the master antioxidant. It is the body’s first line of defense and that is why your glutathione level determines how healthy you will live. The bad news is that, once you are above age 21 your glutathione level begins to deplete and this could be further accelerated by the combined effects of poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, trauma, infections and radiation.

This leaves you susceptible to unrestrained cell disintegration from oxidative stress, free radicals, infections and cancer. And your liver could get overloaded and damaged, making it unable to do its job of detoxification. Glutathione deficiency has been attributed to be the root cause of over 75 chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, hypertension, arthritis, poor sexual performance, dementia, etc.

Glutathione is also critical in helping our immune system do its job of fighting infections, taking away toxins and preventing cancer. That’s why studies show that it can help in raising CD4 counts in HIV/AIDS patients.

For many decades, the subject of glutathione has been the focus of most medical researchers. As at today, there are over 100,000 articles on glutathione published in pubmed.com (the USA official online library of medical research).

However, even though most of these medical scientists agreed that glutathione is the key to maintaining our cellular health, the greatest challenge has been on how to help raise this miracle molecule in our body. This is because; glutathione is not something that can be produced outside the body.

Again, some nutritional scientist had discovered that there are some natural fruits or foods that contains the precursors (glycine, glutamic and Cysteine) needed by the body to produce glutathione but another problem is that, due to the complex nature of our digestive system, the body does not get the adequate amount of these compound to produce enough glutathione. In fact, Cysteine which is a very fragile precursor for producing glutathione has been the limiting factor because it cannot survive our body’s complex digestive system. It is usually destroyed even before it gets to the cells where it is needed mostly.

Another good news is that, Dr. Herbert T. Nagasawa, a Professor of Medicinal Chemistry and Toxicology, University of Minnesota, USA) has developed a revolutionary molecule known as RiboCeine that effectively delivers cysteine to the cell to support the natural production of glutathione. Unlike any other glutathione enhancement product in the market, RiboCeine is the only product with documented scientific evidence of how it works in the body.

RiboCeine is a unique molecule that combines ribose and cysteine, nutrients that occur naturally in our bodies. RiboCeine once ingested will be absorbed, enters the bloodstream and delivers cysteine and ribose to the cells, supporting glutathione production as well as providing ribose, an integral part of ATP, our cells’ natural fuel and source of energy.

RiboCeine significantly outperformed other means of glutathione enhancement against which it has been tested. This claim has been validated by over twenty- two scientific studies funded by the National Institutes of Health and other scientific funding agencies and published in peer-reviewed journals.

This breakthrough technology called RiboCeine is only available at Max International. Max International is today known as the glutathione company and all their glutathione enhancement products has been helping people to address the root causes of most known diseases and rapid aging. One of their products that is very unique and something that you need to stay healthy, it is called CELLGEVITY.

Cellgevity is a new dietary supplement produced by MAX INTERNATIONAL, using Riboceine and 12 other powerful ingredients. It is a glutathione enhancement supplement that works to remove damaging toxins from the body, increase your energy levels and makes you look younger. This unique product is now available in Nigeria, thanks to NAFDAC.

WHY DO YOU NEED CELLGEVITY?

You might be tempted to think that you are very healthy so then you don’t need any medication. Please note, cellgevity is not a drug but an ingredient that your body needs badly to continue producing the ultimate molecule called glutathione.

It is estimated that five billion different types of foreign agents are floating through the air, land, and sea, capable of entering our bodies and wreaking havoc at any time. Every day, along with the air you breathe and the nutrients you ingest, you take in thousands of germs and potentially hazardous chemicals.

All these enemies are right inside in your body even now, ganging up and conspiring to launch a massive attack once they notice that your body’s defense system has been compromised. For some people, these enemies could attack through heart disease which most people never recovered from. For others it could be the beginning of diabetes, high BP, cancer, HIV, and other emerging diseases new to the medical field.

Don’t wait until you start drowning to learn how to swim, help your body to continue helping you. Cellgevity is readily available in Nigeria; if you need it, I can help you get it at the company’s wholesale price.

WHY THE RICH GET RICHER AND POOR GETS POORER

It was William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United State of America (1841) who said in an October 1, 1840 speech, “It is true democratic feeling, that all the measures of the government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer, to exasperate at once the extremes of luxury and want.”

It’s now about 176 years ago since President William Henry Harrison made that speech but you will agree with me that as at today, the world has witnessed the emergence of many millionaires and billionaires who were self made, without any single support from the government.

One of such notable persons is Mark Zuckerberg, the self made billionaire and founder of facebook, the world’s most prolific social media site. According to Forbes Magazine 2016 World's Billionaires ranking, Mark Zuckerberg had the best year of all billionaires. The young man added $11.2 billion to his fortune and moved up to No. 6 from 16.

Yesterday, 30^th August, 2016, the 32-year-old tech entrepreneur surprisingly made a sudden visit to Nigeria. While delivering some brief remarks yesterday at the Co-Creation Hub in Yaba, Lagos, Mr. Zuckerberg hinted that his visit in Nigeria is to learn more about the entrepreneurial space and activities in Nigeria.

Since his arrival yesterday most social media sites are already awashed with his pictures and I know for sure that, most of the people that will be attending his press conference today at Eko Hotel and Suites will be more interested in having a joint photograph with him than learning anything from his entrepreneurial wisdom.  

So, using Mr. Zuckerberg as a reference, I wish to share with you some of the reasons why the rich will always continue to get richer while the poor get poorer.

NUMBER 1 - THE MINDSET: Thomas Stanley and William Danko, authors of the book, “The Millionaire Next Door”, observed that, most wealthy people and self-made millionaires drive used cars, live in average neighborhoods, wear average priced clothes and watches and are very careful with their money.  They further pointed out that, there are two classes of people, “Those who look rich, and those who are rich.” True wisdom and honesty therefore requires that you must be one of those people who are genuinely rich, rather than those who spend a lot of money trying to buy riches whereas they are poor.

Mark Zuckerberg flew into Nigeria yesterday putting on a simple T-shirt and a jean trouser. When I saw that, my mind went to a twit that someone shared on linkedin last week that says, “Men in suits look really successful until you find out they work for the men in T-shirts and jeans”.

Also, Mark Zuckerberg did not come to Nigeria because he is interested in our oil. The rich do not go where the path may lead; instead they go where there is no path and leave a trail. But, the poor is only comfortable following old tracks and the most unfortunate thing is that, they only know people who had tried and failed.   

YOUR NETWORK: According to Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of the book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, “The richest people in the world look for and build networks; everyone else looks for work.” Mark Zuckerberg will not have ranked the 6^th richest man in the whole world without the 1.65 billion monthly active users on his network. Before his visit to Nigeria, Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife were in Rome, Italy this week where he met with the Pope. He is still committed to expanding his network.

Show me one billionaire that became so successful without a strong network base and I will show you a thousand people that are living poor because they have no network. Today, so many people hate anything that has to do with network business but whether you agree with me or not, networking is the new face of entrepreneurship.

Aliko Dangote is still the richest black person in the world, but he wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without quality managers, financiers, financial advisers, a strong marketing network, etc. Listen, when you are working alone, the day you fall sick, your business will be sick, the day you do not work, you will not earn. But with a network business, even when you are sleeping, sick or unable to work, you will be earning.

For instance, just last week, a woman saw one of my posts on my facebook page about a product called Cellgevity and showed interest to buy. I simply gave her the company’s website so that she can buy it online and the following day, I just discovered that the company had paid me N12,000 as commission for just referring the woman to buy the product from them. And do you know what, anytime the woman buys the product from the company in the future or she refers someone else to buy, I will still be paid 25% of the value. You can see that network business has made it easier for people to be making money, if you are not taking advantage of it what a pity.

YOUR GOAL: While the rich is determined and committed to building residual income, the poor only focus on making a living. Residual income is income that keeps coming to you long after you stop working. It is different from salary or living wage. Salary is only bait which employers use to entice their workers so that they will continue to put in their best without thinking of quitting. The rich know that it is practically impossible to build residual income from salary and that is why they are always committed to building a wider network base so that even when they stop working, they will still be earning as long as their network is still actively working. As a salary earner, once you stop working; which is sure to happen, even if it is not today but someday, you will stop to earn. Many people do not realize this while they are still working because their goal is not to build residual income rather to be earning a living wage.

Again, it is only network business that enables you to build residual income. Don’t be deceived by your pay check, one day it will stop coming and ironically, your bills will still be coming. In fact, as you grow older, you are most likely to face more challenges especially in maintaining your health. Poverty is the number one killer disease and it is so sad that people are still living so unconcerned today and just wishing that tomorrow will be better.

WAITING ON LUCK: There is this common believe by many people that the rich are only being lucky but the truth is that, even the rich people never trust luck. Someone said, “We all keep waiting for luck to smile on us, but do not realize that luck smiles only on the brave and the brave never wait for luck.” The rich can’t afford to leave anything to chance. They insure their lives, their property, they network with Only Quality People, they eat healthy foods and they always want to avoid the worst possible things that could happen in any situation.

But the poor believes that “what’s go na be, go na be.” They will say, “all die na die”. “Nothing dey happen”. And that is why they are always taking unawares. The poor live with more regrets; when they see someone succeeding in an opportunity that they discarded in the past, they will say had I known. They will tell you such and such person used to be my classmate, my age mate, etc.

Hello, let me tell you, the key to success is to open your mind to learn and unlearn. What you knew yesterday might not still be relevant today. Nobody was born a pilot, engineer, a lawyer, etc. I can understand why you do not like network business; nobody taught you that course in school. I did entrepreneurship as a course in school and I can’t remember if Dr. S.I Owualah mentioned anything like that in any of his lectures that I attended.

But today, by God’s grace, I think I have discovered the pathway to building, not just residual income but fortune. Majority of the people that criticize network business never tried it or maybe they tried it thinking it is a get-rich quick system.

With as little as N50,000 today, you can start your own business and start building residual income. With the present economic situation of the country, so many people are becoming poorer but some few people are also getting richer.

Year 2016 is gradually coming to an end with exactly 4 months left. May be you are already overwhelmed with feelings of disappointment and frustration because you’ve not been able to achieve any meaning result this year. But, all hope is not lost. I have some few questions for you:

• Do you have the gut to pursue your dreams and goals?
• Are you ready to break every barrier and start living fulfilled?
• Are you ready to achieve more than just living but making a significant impact in life?
• Are you ready to break loose from your present financial challenges?

If your answer to the above questions is YES, then I wish to invite you to take up what is called the MAX INTERNATIONAL’S 90DAYS CHALLENGE. In 90days, you could achieve the above 4 goals. What will it take you to achieve this?

On May 25, 1961, when John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of USA asked Werner Von Braun, the first director of America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), what it would take to put a man on the moon, Van Braun answered simply: "The will to do it." Be rest assured that the 90 DAYS CHALLENGE is not as complicated as putting a man on the moon...! "The will to do it" is the only requirement to achieve your goals within 90days.

ONE SIMPLE WAY TO START A SMALL BUSINESS

So many people today are truly desiring to start their own personal business but what is holding them back is either lack of capital or not knowing how and the best kind of business to start. These challenges no doubt have been a huge mountain stopping people from achieving their desired kind of life.  Today, by the grace of God, I wish to share with you just one very simple approach that you can follow to start and grow your business.

But before I proceed, I just want to share with you some 5 common misconceptions that people hold about starting a business which you must erase completely from your mind if you must achieve your dreams of owning your business.

Misconception #1: YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH MONEY BEFORE YOU CAN START A BUSINESS. This is not true because, there are several businesses that you can start with as low as N50, 000 or even zero naira; it all depends on the level of your determination.

Misconception #2: YOU MUST HAVE TO DEVELOP A GREAT PRODUCT OR IDEA BEFORE YOU CAN START A BUSINESS. This also is not true. If you are very determined to start your own business but do not have the idea of the best business to start, what you do is to look out for already established big businesses that markets products that suits your interest and find how you can partner with them. Today, over 100 of such business opportunities exist.

Misconception #3: OWNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS IS VERY RISKY. This is not true also. There are business opportunities that are 100% risk free which means, even if the business fails, the worst that you can get is the exact amount that you invested.

Misconception #4: YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME SPECIAL SKILLS BEFORE YOU CAN START A BUSINESS. There is no doubt that skill is very necessary in business but it is never a limiting factor because most business owners are not even as skilled as the employees that work for them.

Misconception #5: YOU NEED TO RENT A SHOP OR OFFICE SPACE BEFORE YOU CAN START A BUSINESS.  According to an economic survey, over 69 Percent of successful U.S. entrepreneurs started their businesses from their home. In this age of Information & Communication Technology (ICT), your mobile phone, tablets and laptop computer could be all what you need to start a business.

Now, the simple approach to starting your own small business which I will be sharing with you shortly knocks off all the above 5 misconceptions. This means, you can actually start a multi-million naira business today with:

i.                     As little as N50,000 capital

ii.                   With a world class product that is already in high demand

iii.                 100% risk free meaning you can get your N50,000 back in the event that you cannot continue the business again

iv.                 You do not need any special skill or educational qualification (as long as you can read and write)

v.                   You do not need an office space or hire anybody to work for you

The traditional approach to entrepreneurship, which many people are used to, has made the process of starting a business so tedious and it is a pity that so many people are still glued to it. Although many people wish they could start their own business but, they are so reluctant to open up their mind to learn new ways of making their wishes a reality. So, your willingness to learn and unlearn is the key to actualizing your dreams of owning your business.   

The modern or contemporary approach to entrepreneurship tries to demystify the whole process of starting and running a business. That means, you do not have to continue worrying about raising startup capital of over N100,000, you do not have to worry about spending money to develop a product or business idea, you do not have to worry about overhead costs (rent, electricity bill, wages, etc) and you do not have to worry about marketing your products.

If you truly desire to have your own business, you do not have to be kept down by your inability to create a business plan or create a non existing product; you only need to find a reputable company, one that you trust, that offers a product or service you believe in and you can get passionate about. Like I said earlier, there are companies that allow you to use their already established products and platform to build your own business.

Apart from allowing you to use their platform, some of these companies offer free business support in terms of skill training, business strategies and also offer other necessary assistance to help you succeed. It is interesting to note that such companies already exist in Nigeria but it is only very few people that know about it that are benefiting from them.

MANY NIGERIANS ARE JUST DRINKING TO THEIR GRAVES!

I do not have the time to start investigating the reasons why people engage in the consumption of alcohol but, I am only bothered about the health implications. This is because, whether your motive for consuming alcohol is to “drink away sorrow” as many people assert or just as a way to socialize, the only thing I know is that, the risk factors associated with alcohol do not understand these motives. Alcoholic drinks have continued to enjoy great boom in Nigeria as the business is today growing faster than the oil and telecommunication industry. With many brand hitting the market daily and even in cheaper packages, a catastrophic future looms in the nation.   

From my findings, some of the potential risks associated with alcohol consumption include the following.

1.      Alcohol interferes with your immune system. What this means is that, alcohol reduces the ability of your body to fight off disease and infection. Your immune system is like soldiers positioned in your body by your creator to help fight external attacks such as viruses and infections that we encounter daily from our environment. As you continue intake of alcohol, you might be enjoying it but something terrible is happening in your body. Once your immune system is weakened, your body becomes vulnerable to harmful attacks and diseases.

2.      Alcohol Damages the liver: Our livers are essential when it comes to proper food digestion, nutrient absorption, controlling infections, and ridding the body of toxins. It is a pity that we do not have statistics of liver related diseases and mortalities in Nigeria but in USA, there are over two million people who suffer from liver disease caused by excessive alcohol consumption. For instance, Liver cirrhosis ranked as the 12th leading cause of death among Americans in 2009.

3.      Increases chances of developing cancer. Alcohol consumers have a higher risk of suffering from various types of cancer such as cancers of the breast, liver, etc.

4.      Alcohol depletes your glutathione level: Glutathione is what empowers your liver to function, excessive drinking of alcohol compels your body to exhaust it’s glutathione level and this could expose you to diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, arthritis, frequent malaria, typhoid, etc.

5.      Alcohol could lead to heart attacks: Over time, excessive alcohol consumption begins to weaken the heart muscle resulting in blood flow irregularities. Alcoholic drinkers are often plagued by a condition known as cardiomyopathy where the heart stretches and droops. Alcohol can also increase the risk of a heart attack, stroke, and hypertension.

6.      Alcohol affects Your Brain Functions: Beyond that initial feeling of euphoria, alcohol can have a detrimental effect on your brain. By slowing the relay of information between neurotransmitters, the ethanol found in alcoholic drinks can cause damage to multiple areas of the brain. Prolonged damage to the brain’s neurotransmitters can result in behavioral and mood changes such as depression, anxiety, memory loss, and seizures.

7.      Alcohol Damages The Kidneys: The effect alcohol has on the liver can also spread to the kidneys. Due to the diuretic effect alcohol has on increasing the amount of urine the body produces, the kidneys are not able to do their job of regulating the flow and makeup of body fluids including the distribution of sodium, potassium, and chloride ions. This can in turn disturb our balance of electrolytes. Excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to high blood pressure, the second leading cause of kidney failure.

WHAT CAN I DRINK NOW?

That was a question a friend of mine asked me after he went through google to research further on the facts I just shared above. But, I have good news for you.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IS CALLED NONI JUICE?

If your answer is NO, then I want you to check www.google.com and search “health benefits of noni juice’.

Most people who know about noni in Nigeria might be familiar with the TAHITIAN NONI JUICE but today, we have a Virgin Noni Juice (none diluted, natural without preservative) grown and processed here in Nigeria by T&T Vigin Noni. The company’s plantation with over 23,000 noni trees is located at Egbudu-Akah in Delta State.

It there is anything I will recommend you to be drinking, it is NONI Juice because, it has no side effects, it’s natural and good for your health.    

If I may borrow the words of Prince Arinze Onebunne (CEO Jovana Farms), “if you can drink yourself into sickness, you can also drink yourself into good health”. Noni juice taste like pure red wine, it is natural, it’s powerful, and great for your health.

Do You Wake Up Each Day With Pains?

In Psalm 118:24, David said, 'This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it'. Do you wake up each morning feeling glad or just struggling with creaky, achy joints, a twinge in the knee, a sharp shooting pain from the shoulder to the elbow or joints?. And you've always assume it's part of aging process or stress?

Wrong. All too often, we assume joint pain is a normal part of aging that we just have to learn to live with. It's a serious problem, because pain can affect every aspect of your life. "Pain is not only the experience of hurting; it affects how you handle your life, your livelihood, your interactions with family and friends," Raymond Gaeta, MD, director of pain management services at Stanford Hospital & Clinic at Stanford University. A recent research showed that 1 in every 5 are living with one type of pain or the other. The research further revealed the 84% of them tries to suppress these pains with over the counter pain killers.

Child of God, the bible says in Job 36:11 that those who obey God will spend their days in prosperity and their years in happiness. Growing older is not a journey into pains and wasting your money on medication. You are God's creature so, it's an error for you to be managing your health with drugs instead of enjoying your health. Today I want to introduce to you a natural supplement called CELLGEVITY, the glutathione enhancement technology. Pains, aches or Arthritis is a degenerative condition marked by inflammation in the joints that causes stiffness and pains. Time Magazine carried out an investigation about Inflammation and discovered that it is a Secret Killer. You can search more facts about Inflammation from google. You cannot cure it with pain killers, they only give you temporary relief.

CELLGEVITY is the only technology that tackles the root cause of pains because, as your glutathione level increases, your body cells are empowered to counter the effects of inflammation and you won't find pains again. Ask your doctor about this or go to google and search: 'Cellgevity/Joint Pain and Arthritis'. I can help you get your CELLGEVITY today at the company price. To order or get more facts about the product: 08033291724.

May you not spend your years in pains.

TOP 4 BUSINESSES THAT MAKE SUPER PROFITS DURING PERIOD OF ECONOMIC RECESSION

What is economic recession? The U.S. based National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) defines a recession as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP growth, real personal income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales." Recession usually comes with a lot of difficult challenges and pains for the masses but my reason for writing this note is not to remind you of the pains which you might be going through now but, to show you solutions and opportunities that are also associated with recession.

Every problem that man encounters in life is an opportunity also. For instance, when there is war, the victims suffer and die but the people that deal in weapons and other supplies for executing wars will be smiling. So, in this period of recession, while many people are crying because they lost their job, or because the high cost of living has overshadowed their meager salary, there are some people out there also who are really smiling and are actually celebrating this period as the best of times for them.

So, it’s all about how you position yourself for a period like this. Let me quickly remind you here that life is governed by some basic principles. Just as there are principles that govern prosperity, so also there are principles for austerity. These principles determine the way things work. If the way you position yourself is contrary to the way things work, you are sure to be affected negatively.    

You will observe that during period of economic recession, people’s ability to save or invest is greatly hindered and that is why so many people do not invest at such season. In fact, they are even tempted and compelled to spend up all their past savings and even eat up their seed.

I just want to remind you of the story of Isaac in the bible as recorded in Genesis 26; you too can reap 100% by investing in some top business opportunities that have the capacity to thrive during periods of recession. I will share four (4) of them briefly here.

While deciding on the best type of business to start during a period of recession, there are 5 major parameters that you must use to evaluate the type of business. In fact, we always advise our clients to go for businesses that satisfy these parameters because; such businesses will still thrive even in periods of prosperity, recession, depression, meltdown, etc. These parameters are as follows:

a.      CAPITAL REQUIREMENT: Think of ideas that you can start with very limited capital (as little as N50, 000).

b.     LOW RISK: Avoid opportunity that has high risk of losing all your investment. It might be very difficult to bounce back.

c.      NO OVERHEADS: Think of ideas with minimal overheads (like home based businesses, no rent, no salaries, etc)

d.     WHAT IS THE DEMAND LEVEL OF THE PRODUCT? If the demand level is inelastic, that means, whether prosperity or recession, demand is still high.

e.      Does the business need any special kind of skill or educational qualification?

Now let’s quickly talk about the top 4 businesses that can give you super profit during periods of recession.

1.     HEALTH AND WELLNESS BUSINESS: This is number one and will continue to be on the top list, whether it is period of recessions or prosperity. The Global Wellness Institute in their September 30, 2014 publication reveals that, the global wellness market was worth $3.4 trillion, making it nearly three times larger than the $1 trillion worldwide pharmaceutical industry. The study confirms wellness as one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries. Also, Deloitte, in their 2015 Global Health Care Outlook stated that healthcare spending is expected to accelerate, rising from an average of 5.2percent a year in 2014-2018, to $9.3 trillion. Moody's Investors Service, an international rating agency had also predicted that global demand for healthcare products and services will continue to grow in 2016.

The major sectors of the health and wellness business that are still experiencing great boom since 2010 are the Nutritional Supplements and Weight Management Products (108 percent increase to $276.5 billion).

2.     BEAUTY AND ANTI-AGEING BUSINESS: A living dog, the bible says is better than a dead lion. As long as people are alive, they want to look good and feel good. The Global Skin Care Industry is today worth US$115 Billion and it is estimated to be US$147 billion by 2020 that is about 27.8% increase. That is why this industry is a great opportunity for you to consider at a time like this because it is also recession proof.

3.     ENERGY DRINKS BUSINESS: Can you mention the number of energy drinks in our markets today? The number is increasing on daily basis; you name them: Kparaga, Monkey shoulder, Kerewa, Kogbela, Ibile, Durosoke, Dadubule, Action Bitters, Koboko, Ogidigba, Baby Oku, Pasa Bitters, Osomo, Alomo of higher class, among others. In fact, the consumption of these products seems to be higher in period of recession so, it is an industry that will continue to grow. Today, the Global Energy Drink Industry is worth over US$49.9 Billion and it is estimated to hit US$1 trillion worldwide soon.

4.     RECRUITMENT BUSINESS: The time of recession is usually characterized with high rate of job losses and unemployment. So, if you are in the business of helping people get a job, you are sure to be smiling to the bank even during recession. All you need is the skill, the opportunity is limitless. Many companies out there are seriously searching for skilled personnel that can help them drive their visions. Do you know the irony, while many young graduates in Nigeria are complaining that there are no jobs, many organizations are also complaining that it’s difficult to find quality and skilled personnel in Nigeria.

So, you can see that there are several opportunities that are just lying there waiting to be tapped even in this period of economic challenges. Remember that, these are businesses that you can start with as little as N50,000 another good thing about these businesses is that you can run them from the comfort of your home. The risk level is even almost zero.  

According to John F. Kennedy, “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.” What really stops people in business is not the season or the economic situation but lack of knowledge. You will always be hindered or limited by what you don’t know. That is why, at THINKING MINDS INTEGRATED BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, we focus more on solutions than problems because solutions exist first before any problem.

You can be part of the growing number of youths and aspiring entrepreneurs that we have helped to become proud business owners. As I conclude here, don’t forget that, “As sure as the spring will follow the winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession” Bo Bennett. So, take advantage of our free consultancy and business support services today and turn this period of recession into great opportunity.
