Words cannot describe the feeling of belonging to something bigger than just an online opportunity. company, or organization. We went to Nashville as business associates and left there as a big close knit family. Cherylanne Gober did such a great job or organizing this event. I have decided to go back to Nashville in the next few months just enjoy the culture, and of course visit my new family!
As with any family gathering there is always plenty to talk about when you get back home and of course lots of good memories!
Here is something that we will all remember for a very long time....

Nashville Celebration
What an amazing weekend I had! So where was I and why was it so amazing? My husband and I spent 4 days in Nashville, Tennessee as part of the Karatbars International Celebration. It was an amazing experience like nothing I have ever experienced before. The positive energy was flowing from everywhere and we were all truly moved by a strong sense of family. I feel blessed that I was able to connect with not only my sponsor and mentors but with so many wonderful people. There was no hype or hard selling, but instead friendships were formed that I am sure will bind us together for a very very long time. From the owner, Mr. Harald Seiz, to the newest affiliates, there was a sense of sharing and of a deep caring for every person who attended. I will be adding more all week about this spectacular event.

A repost from an article I just read
The "coming economic collapse" has already been happening.
You see, the truth is that the economic collapse is not a single
event. It has already started, it is happening right now, and it will
accelerate during the years ahead. The statistics in this article show very clearly
that the U.S. economy has fallen dramatically over the past ten years
or so. Unfortunately, there are lots of mockers out there that love to
mock the idea of an economic collapse even though one is happening right
in front of our eyes.
They love to say stuff like this (and I am paraphrasing):
They do not seem alarmed about the fact that our national debt is nearly 17 times larger than it was 30 years ago. They do not seem alarmed about the fact that the total amount of debt in our country is more than 28 times larger than it was 40 years ago. They do not seem alarmed about the fact that our economic infrastructure is being absolutely gutted and we are steadily becoming poorer as a nation.
They just think that the magic formula of print, borrow, spend and consume can go on indefinitely.
Unfortunately, the truth is that a massive economic disaster has already started to unfold. We inherited the greatest economic machine in the history of the world, but we totally wrecked it. We have been able to live far, far beyond our means for the last couple of decades thanks to the greatest debt bubble in the history of the planet, but now that debt bubble is getting ready to burst.
Anyone with half a brain should be able to see what is coming. Just open your eyes and look at the facts. The following are 40 stats that prove the U.S. economy has already been collapsing over the past decade...
#1 According to the World Bank, U.S. GDP accounted for 31.8 percent of all global economic activity in 2001. That number dropped to 21.6 percent in 2011.
#2 The United States was once ranked #1 in the world in GDP per capita. Today we have slipped to #14
. #3 The United States has fallen in the global economic competitiveness rankings compiled by the World Economic Forum for four years in a row.
#4 Since the year 2000, the size of the U.S. national debt has grown by more than 11 trillion dollars.
#5 Back in the year 2000, our trade deficit with China was 83 billion dollars. Last year, it was 315 billion dollars.
#6 In the year 2000, about 17 million Americans were employed in manufacturing. Today, only about 12 million Americans are employed in manufacturing.
#7 The United States has lost more than 56,000 manufacturing facilities since 2001.
#8 The United States has lost a staggering 32 percent of its manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.
#9 Between December 2000 and December 2010, 38 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Ohio were lost, 42 percent of the manufacturing jobs in North Carolina were lost and 48 percent of the manufacturing jobs in Michigan were lost.
#10 Back in 1998, the United States had 25 percent of the world’s high-tech export market and China had just 10 percent. Today, China’s high-tech exports are more than twice the size of U.S. high-tech exports.
#11 In 2002, the United States had a trade deficit in "advanced technology products" of $16 billion with the rest of the world. In 2010, that number skyrocketed to $82 billion.
#12 The United States has lost more than a quarter of all of its high-tech manufacturing jobs since the year 2000.
#13 The number of full-time workers in the United States is nearly 6 million below the old record that was set back in 2007.
#14 The average duration of unemployment in the United States is nearly three times as long as it was back in the year 2000.
#15 Throughout the year 2000, more than 64 percent of all working age Americans had a job. Today, only 58.7 percent of all working age Americans have a job.
#16 The official unemployment rate has been at 7.5 percent or higher for 54 months in a row. That is the longest stretch in U.S. history.
#17 The U.S. government says that the number of Americans "not in the labor force" rose by 17.9 million between 2000 and 2011. During the entire decade of the 1980s, the number of Americans "not in the labor force" rose by only 1.7 million.
#18 The average number of hours worked per employed person per year has fallen by about 100 since the year 2000.
#19 The U.S. economy continues to trade good paying jobs for low paying jobs. 60 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession were mid-wage jobs, but 58 percent of the jobs created since then have been low wage jobs.
#20 The U.S. economy lost more than 220,000 small businesses during the recent recession.
#21 The percentage of Americans that are self-employed has steadily declined over the past decade and is now at an all-time low.
#22 According to economist Tim Kane, the following is how the number of startup jobs per 1000 Americans breaks down by presidential administration...
Bush Sr.: 11.3
Clinton: 11.2
Bush Jr.: 10.8
Obama: 7.8
#23 In the year 2000, there were only 17 million Americans on food stamps. Today, there are more than 47 million Americans on food stamps.
#24 In the year 2000, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages was approximately 21 percent. Today, the ratio of social welfare benefits to salaries and wages is approximately 35 percent.
#25 Since Barack Obama entered the White House, the average price of a gallon of gasoline in the United States has risen from $1.85 to $3.64.
#26 More than twice as many new homes were sold in the United States in 2005 as will be sold in 2013.
#27 Right now there are 20.2 million Americans that spend more than half of their incomes on housing. That represents a 46 percent increase from 2001.
#28 The price of ground beef increased by 61 percent between 2002 and 2012.
#29 According to USA Today, water bills have actually tripled over the past 12 years in some areas of the country.
#30 In 1999, 64.1 percent of all Americans were covered by employment-based health insurance. Today, only 55.1 percent are covered by employment-based health insurance.
#31 Median household income in the United States has fallen for four years in a row.
#32 As I mentioned recently, the homeownership rate in America is now at its lowest level in nearly 18 years.
#33 Back in the year 2000, the mortgage delinquency rate was about 2 percent. Today, it is nearly 10 percent.
#34 Median household income for families with children dropped by a whopping $6,300 between 2001 and 2011.
#35 Back in 2007, about 28 percent of all working families were considered to be among "the working poor". Today, that number is up to 32 percent even though our politicians tell us that the economy is supposedly recovering.
#36 According to the Federal Reserve, the median net worth of families in the United States declined "from $126,400 in 2007 to $77,300 in 2010".
#37 According to the New York Times, the average debt burden for U.S. households that earn $20,000 a year or less "more than doubled to $26,000 between 2001 and 2010".
#38 Medicare spending increased by 138 percent between 1999 and 2010.
#39 During Obama's first term, the federal government accumulated more debt than it did under the first 42 U.S presidents combined.
#40 Today, more than a million public school students in the United States are homeless. This is the first time that has ever happened in our history. That number has risen by 57 percent since the 2006-2007 school year.
Isn't it time we all wake up and see that the US Dollar is failing? I am trading in my paper for gold.

They love to say stuff like this (and I am paraphrasing):
"An economic collapse is never going to happen. We can consume far more wealth than we produce forever. We can pile up gigantic mountains of debt forever. There is no way that the party is over. In fact, the party is just getting started. Woo-hoo!"That sounds absolutely ridiculous, but "economists" and "journalists" actually write things that reflect these kinds of sentiments every single day.

Focus on the solution, not the problem.
We can all find "reasons" why we cannot succeed. Instead of focussing on the can'ts start to concentrate on the cans.
I cannot write good emails... I can get someone to help me write good emails
I cannot talk to people..... I can overcome it or get someone like my upline to help me
I cannot explain things well...... I can study the program I am in until I understand it but in the meantime use the tools and people that have been available to me.
I cannot do this..... Well if you really believe that then you are probably right.
You must be willing to help yourself, so stay focused, stay positive, and do not be afraid to ask for help. When you do ask for help keep an open mind because it might not be what you wanted to hear.

When you tell a child to do or not to do something....
When you tell a child to do or not to do something....
They usually do it because you put the thought into their head.
When you tell a marketer that they have to refer two people they usually freeze. People are more likely to share something when they do not feel that they must. With Karatbars the 12 week plan suggests that you refer two like minded people but don't get hung up on that. By sharing Karatbars in normal conversation people will want to join. There is no need for a sales pitch, no need to pressure anyone, no convincing needed. Karatbars is the vehicle that I use to save gold to insure my financial future. The referral commissions is just a huge plus. I now purchase a gram or more a week out of my commissions so it does not even cost me anything out of pocket. Please come to a webinar and learn about the 12 week plan at http://karatbarswebinar.com or learn more at http://karatbarsintro.com If you like what you see contact me on skype - saphyre923. Lets talk!
Webinars are daily at 12 noon and 9pm eastern.

Commitment
If you don't commit yourself to something it is likely that you will not succeed. You need to believe in what you are doing, put aside all negative thoughts, and be willing to give up your comfort zone if it means succeeding. There are many people out there that are uncomfortable talking about an opportunity that they are involved in. I hear all the time things like I don't like to sell, I am not social, I have no friends left because of the last program I was in, I don't know anyone who would be interested, etc etc etc
No one likes to sell....
We all have our own comfort zone.....
We have all either been brought into or brought other people into programs that have failed.....
We have all prejudged from time to time....
But the biggest mistake is not trying.
Today I was asked to step out of my comfort zone - I was asked to take a picture of myself holding my karatbar and karatbar debit card...
I believe in this business and if someone wants to see my picture than ok, so I did it!

Respect your sponsors time
A good sponsor helps their downline but remember that they are trying to build a business and if they are willing to help you then show some respect and focus when they are working with you. I have spent many hours trying to help people and many of those same people were playing Candy Crush, chatting with others, watching TV, etc. while I was spending my time trying to couch them. Focus on what you are doing if you want to benefit from the experience and knowledge of your upline.

Einstein said.....
Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Does that make most internet marketers insane?
We have all tried matrices, ad rev programs, HYIPs etc. over and over again. We have lost our money, our hopes, and our reputations again and again. We have bought boxes full of unwanted products and have purchased a plethora of magic button programs. Some worked for a while, some not at all. But how many were actual successes and are still paying its members on a continious basis?
Get off the treadmill, stop the insanity. Please think about the state of the economy throughout the world and stop wasting your time and effort. No matrices, no HYIPs, no Ad Rev Share programs, no unwanted products, and no magic buttons. The product is gold - real .9999 24 K currency grade from a LBMA approved refinery.
