Thinking of Changing MLM Companies?

I was speaking with a friend the other day and we were talking about our experience of leaving a network marketing company that we once loved, but one that was no longer serving our goals in life or our finances like it once had.

He had left a company after being with them for over 22 years- one where he had earned over $3 Million dollars. I could relate as we had recently resigned from a company I had been with for over 10 years. We both decided to WALK AWAY from the monthly check… breaking ties in order to be authentic in our conversations with friends who were looking to join our new companies or opportunity.

What neither of us expected was that leaving a company we once loved on so many levels, from the corporate staff, the team, the product, the friendships, trips etc. was like a divorce. It hurt. But sometimes you have to do what is best for YOU and your families, your peace of mind. What did pleasantly surprise both of us is that many- if not most people remained friends no matter what we did or where we went. These people were true friends…not just by being affiliated with the same MLM company. Dave and I call them our HOT TUB FRIENDS, people we enjoy spending time with – enough that we’d be in a hot tub together with an adult beverage in hand and simply have FUN.

Then there were the so-called friends who as soon as you change companies, UNFRIEND you on Facebook, or talk bad about our decisions for our lives. They are upset and say it is not fair that you are leaving the company, while they choose to stay there. I just don’t get it. Real friends want what is best for you and your family- right???? Imagine being a waiter at a restaurant and you could earn 3x the money being a waiter at another restaurant. People would wish you well and say you made a great decision for your life, right? or another analogy is a car sales man who changes the dealership because it is a better financial opportunity for him and his family, and besides, he enjoys selling that new brand of automobile over the one at his past dealership. It’d be silly to talk bad about them for their decision, right? So I don’t quite get it why network marketing is any different.

My point here is to to do what is best for you.

Sometimes you just have to follow your inner guidance and JUST DO IT! Follow your intuitive self- the one that guides you to what is best for you in your life. The direction….EVEN if it is more difficult that staying in the status quo or familiarity.

Do the Thing – Just Do It- HAVE THE COURAGE to move in the direction of your dreams.

I found this brief video clip motivational and hope you do too. So whatever change you may be looking at in your life, if it supports your goals and dreams go for it.

If you are at the Cross Roads in your MLM Career and are pondering changing companies or exploring what else may be able to support your goals and dreams give us a call. (802-846-7530)

What is the right company for you? How can you get started? How will you know?

Dave and I are both coaches. I am more a transformational Life Coach on topics like LifeStyle, Health, Fitness, Changes in Life and Dave’s strength is more Business Coaching and Inspirational / Motivational Coaching.

However we can support you, give us a call to see if what WE are doing with ViiVa may be the right fit for what you are looking for in your life. You will be totally honored in the process….AND I promise, it will be a fun exploration.

We can’t wait to speak with you.

Tavala Trim for Athletes (Focus & Energy…. not just for weight loss!)

As an athlete, who has been both competitive and recreational, I know what an EXTRA EDGE can mean to performance. A little more strength, energy, focus, stamina, and increased recovery are among the benefits all athletes search for AND pay a large price to achieve.

If you go into a GNC or Health Food Store you’ll see rows and rows of potions from shakes, to powders, to capsules etc. all promising to give you better all round performance and that added edge. Unfortunately, many are mainly gimmicks and sometimes down right unhealthy….and yet they still fly off the shelves, often no matter the cost.

Today I was in communication with an athlete who had just tried the Tavala Trim product. For those of you who may not be familiar with Tavala Trim, due to it being a brand new breakthrough product, it is a nutritional product that offers the following benefits” :

  • Appetite Suppressant
  • Increase in Energy & Focus
  • Boost in Metabolism
  • Decrease in Cravings
  • Weight Loss

Here is what Patrick wrote to me: “I have never taken anything like this in my life. I had gone a week without my Moringa capsules when it arrived. I play tennis a lot and have been feeling lethargic and tired after an evening’s play my muscles would ache until the following morning. My play was also very poor because I was not able to move and hit the ball how I wanted to. Then came the TAVALA TRIM product and boy was there a change! My energy level went waaaay up! My game got so much better and the aches and pains were gone, even after playing for 2.5 hours – straight. There is absolutely a difference and a huge one too! I am definitely on-board and will make my order soon.” P.G.

WHAT IS TAVALA TRIM?

Are you interested in trying Tavala Trim for your own personal experience? Please go to www.DaveandJoy.com and click on PRODUCT, and you can order as either a customer or a member. Both ways offer the same low price of only $64.99 for a 28-day supply. Prefer to give us a call and have us place your order? Call us at 802-846-7530.

“Tavala Control”- New Breakthrough in Normalizing Blood Sugar

By | | , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
Comments Off on “Tavala Control”- New Breakthrough in Normalizing Blood Sugar

I began to research natural ways to normalize blood sugar levels and came upon this article by Moss Green on a website “on Common Sense Health”. With the rise of diabetes and blood sugar imbalances in our society I thought it was worth sharing this info. In addition, there is a brand new BREAKTHROUGH product, from a company called TAVALA, that is making it easier to normalize blood sugar and create a healthy balance in the body. Rightfully named CONTROL as it helps you take CONTROL of your Blood Sugar. Control can also be used as a companion product with TRIM, to make it a complete Weight Management Duo!

What Is Tavala Control?

 

How to Control Blood Sugar Naturally by Moss Green

Although blood sugar control is made to appear complicated, it’s usually simple.

And with diabetes skyrocketing, knowing how to control blood sugar naturally is vitally important to your health and well-being.

What is blood sugar anyway? Simply put, blood sugar (glucose) is the fuel that feeds your brain, nervous system and body tissues. And maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is essential to your mind, body and health.

And while you need glucose, most people’s blood sugar is out of control.

Even though a healthy body can make glucose from protein and fats, your blood sugar levels are mainly based on your carbohydrate consumption. Normal blood sugar levels fluctuate between 80 and140 mg/dL.

Control Blood Sugar to Avoid Diabetes

Maintaining normal blood sugar levels is essential if you want to reverse or avoid diabetes. But diabetes and heart disease are so closely related that you need to take both of these diseases into consideration.

Diabetics have a 400% higher risk for heart attack or stroke. And cardiovascular disease hits earlier in life and is more likely to end in death for a diabetic.

Many people with diabetes and prediabetes take medications that control their blood sugar levels, but don’t change their diet and lifestyle to both control blood sugar naturally AND prevent heart disease.

Yet high blood pressure contributes to many diabetes complications and 80% of diabetics die from circulation problems like heart failure.

This is why making natural healthy lifestyle changes are so important.

These 10 natural steps to control blood sugar will also improve blood pressure and help protect you from circulation and artery diseases.

  1. Exercise for 30+ minutes a day. Physical activity helps control blood sugar, your sensitivity to insulin and is important for healthy weight management. Include both aerobic exercise and weight training.
  2. Eat a healthy low glycemic diet. High glycemic carbs that move sugar rapidly into the blood are the main culprits for both hypoglycemia and diabetes. A healthy low glycemic diet is the answer.
  3. Get plenty of high fiber foods. Fiber helps keep blood sugar levels steady and decreases heart disease risk. Get at least 30 to 40 grams of high fiber daily from the healthy list of high fiber foods.
  4. Switch to 100% whole grains. Studies show whole grains reduce diabetes risk and help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
  5. Avoid high blood sugar foods. Replace all refined carbohydrates with healthy carbohydrates and limit caffeine and alcohol, which both interfere with your body’s ability to normalize blood sugar levels.
  6. Eat good fat and avoid bad fats. Follow a heart healthy diet that’s low in saturated and trans food fat and high in omega 3 fish oil.
  7. Have 4 to 6 small meals a day. Eating small mini-meals frequently on a regular schedule helps to stabilize your blood sugar levels.
  8. Include protein with every meal. Protein also stabilizes blood sugar, so include a small amount of high protein with each meal.
  9. Practice weight management. When combined with regular exercise, even a little healthy weight loss can vastly improve your odds. Overweight people who lost just 5 to 10% of their initial body weight were shown to have reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 58%.
  10. Include quality supplements. Make sure you get 200 micrograms GTF chromium, extra vitamin C with bioflavonoids and B complex, along with a complete profile of nutritional health supplements. In addition, and this is me, JOY, adding my 2 cents here. What I have witnessed with people taking Tavala’s product “CONTROL” is that within days their blood sugar has improved! That’s how to control blood sugar levels to avoid diabetes. So do it!

How can you get Tavala CONTROL? Simply go to www.DaveandJoy.com and click on Products. There you will see CONTROL, as well as it’s companion product called TRIM. If weight loss is a goal as well as normalizing blood sugar, we suggest taking both together.

A 28-day supply of CONTROL costs $54.99. Consumers can purchase as Customers or as Members, the price is the same. There are 84 capsules in CONTROL, and you will take 3 capsules every morning.

If you have any serious health complications, as always check with your physician before adding any supplement to your diet.

We’d LOVE to answer your questions and also hear feedback on your experience with Tavala Trim. Please give us a call at 802-846-7530 or email info@DaveandJoy.com

Tavala Trim Testimonials- They Keep Coming!

Tavala Trim is a new product for Weight Loss that actually tastes GREAT and WORKS quickly. Many people experience amazing results with just a 7-day sample pack. Hundreds of testimonials have come my way but I wanted to share the most recent over the past couple of days.

Tavala Trim boosts your metabolism, suppresses your appetite, gives you energy and focus, helps eliminate cravings= and all of this creates a happy YOU who loses weight and feels great. Hear what some of our customers are saying….

“Whohooooo, 12.6 lbs. down in 1 1/2 weeks!!! I must say I’m impressed!!! Being a weight loss coach, I’m very skeptical of weight loss products, I solely believed in healthy diet and exercise is the only way! Coaching taught me differently, my clients were all different, some were, working moms, stay at home moms working dads etc. All requiring different techniques. Believe me everyone is not the same! My husband and I searched and researched ways to help our clients and that’s when we found this weight loss drink. Tried it and love it!!! All I can say is the product speaks for itself. I’m excited and proud to introduce it to you all! Just don’t take my word and my results for it! Try it for yourself!?” L.R.

“This product is giving me AMAZING focus! I figured out that by dividing the pack into 3-4 portions a day, I feel great! I am currently hyper focused on a project I’ve been meaning to tackle for months! Also, my appetite is definitely reduced. I do feel hunger, but when I go to eat I don’t want much.
I am taking Tavala for an energy boost, and to help trim off the fluff from the holidays. So far, so good! Thank you Joy for introducing me!” L.D.

“From my sampling buddy Michele, “My samples are all done and I lost 10 pounds in total! I missed my drink this morning, can’t wait til Friday to be able to order my month supply!” B.H.

“Day one of Tavala. No cravings for sweets and didn’t feel hungry between meals like i always did. she’s been gaining a pound a week for the last month. Lost 1.5#’s in a day ” R.A.

“My latest Tavala Trim testimonial! Dave and I began doing P90X again. We are currently relatively out of shape and really noticed the benefit of increased ENERGY today sipping the Trim through out the work out. Post workout, no hunger, no cravings and we both feel great. I can imagine a lot of active people LOVING the many results TRIM can offer….it really is more than just a weight loss product.” J.E. (PS, who wouldn’t love a boost in your metabolism?)

“Over the past week, I have lost 10 lbs. And come to find out this am..It works amazingly for hangovers…lol” S.T.

“I love Tavala. The hunger monster is gone and now I am in control! Since January 1st I have lost 14 lbs. Tonight, I just put on a pair of jeans that have been sitting in a drawer for years. You know the scenario. First one leg then the other, then over the hips while asking yourself, “Can I get the zipper up?” Woot-hoo!!” L.L.

“Day one of Tavala. No cravings for sweets and didn’t feel hungry between meals like i always did. she’s been gaining a pound a week for the last month. Lost 1.5#’s in a day :)” R.A.

Moms- Make Money From Home with TAVALA

If you are like many moms with young children you’d love to be able to stay home with your young children but still have independence and earn income to contribute to your household.

Work from home ad made by post it

Or perhaps you are a single mom and you HAVE to make money, but the thought of being away from your children and putting them in daycare, (not to mention the cost) makes you beyond sad.

OR perhaps you are a young mom at home with your children and simply want MAD MONEY FOR MOMMA?

Have you ever considered working from home but didn’t like the idea of ‘stuffing envelopes”, doing “medical transcriptions”, or the typical network marketing that requires you to SELL, CONVINCE others that your ‘me-too’ product is the best? or that you need to stock up on inventory in your garage or basement and commit to a monthly auto ship order for yourself, whether you need the product or not?

TAVALA has Changed All That and made WORKING FROM HOME simple, easy and profitable.

We are LOOKING for Full & Part-time Associates to Work From Home and one of MY personal passions is showing young moms how they can do both: Earn Money AND Be at Home with Your Children.

With TAVALA your responsibilities would be:

• Develop customers for Our Next Generation of Weight Loss Technology (Do you know anyone in your circle of friends who would like to lose weight or have more energy and boost their metabolism?)
• Customers can try samples before buying (Easier to say TRY than BUY!)
• 100% 30-Day Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee (Can’t go wrong here!)
• 28% Commission on Customer Sales Paid Weekly (WOW)
• Optional: Hire, Train & Lead Sales Organizations (Take it a step further and enjoy teaching, training and supporting others? There is a way to create residual income.)
• Unlimited Income Potential – Earn What You Deserve (Want to earn $200 a week, $500? $1000 or more per week? All are possible with Tavala!)

Additional Information for you if you say “YES, This sounds great!”
• You will be an independent representative (YOU are your own boss!)
• You will be personally trained and can attend weekly team training, support calls and webinars (No requirements but available for the go-getter)
• You are eligible for company promotions, prizes and giveaways (How about winning prizes like Jay Bird Ear Buds, Go Pro Camera, Car or Lifestyle Monthly Bonus?, a 7 night Cruise? and more….)
• You can set your own hours and work when, where and how you want (Need to take time away from your business during kids vacations or when kids are sick, or special occasions? You can -with no guilt)
• Immediate Interviews by phone to explore to see if THIS is the right fit for YOU!

Self Motivated Individuals/Mommas, encouraged to call me at 802-846-7530. I am passionate about helping you earn money from home. I have “been there done that”…and have a daughter and a daughter-in-law who are able to be home with their young children due to working from home …part time or full time.

I look forward to hearing from you today! 802-846-7530.

OVERVIEW of TAVALA

ABOUT TAVALA

Tavala came together with an Executive Team that has decades of experience in business and the direct sales industry. This group saw a big opportunity in a problem that is seen too often among network marketing companies.

The problem with many direct sales companies is having to sell overpriced products that don’t fill a real need for the end consumer. They struggle to make great products that have an appeal (aside from commission) to both member and their subscriber.

We believed there could be a better way to do business…a better and unique way to participate in a direct sales company today.

Tavala is the direct sales subscription box company who offers unique, consumable products that are good for your body, both inside and out. A personalized subscription box where you choose the products, the price point, and how often you receive them.

To Learn More About Tavala- Check out the brief presentation below.

If you are looking for an opportunity, give us a call to see if TAVALA fits your criteria. We do not ‘sell’ anyone on the company, rather explore together, to see if this is a good fit.

How and Why We Joined Tavala

How and Why We Joined Tavala

It’s hard to believe that 5 weeks ago, Dave and I were wondering what the heck we were going to do. Business was not going well. The holidays were coming, we were working with 2 network marketing companies… one I had been with for over 10 years (Dave and I had created a large organization in the past 3.5 years with their new division) and the other was a company we found, while searching the internet, back in July.

We found what we have always told other people, it is hard- if not impossible- to ride two horses with one butt (or work effectively with 2 companies….. Problem is, we couldn’t afford to work just one, as neither were covering our basic living expenses.) Things had changed so drastically in the last 2 years and rather than enjoying the momentum of a nicely built organization, instead were were building over and over again. In fact, people were leaving the company faster than they were joining. To say we were desperate is an understatement. Yes we did begin working with another company…but even with that company, as good as it was, the financial growth was slow and offered a part time income, at best.

That ‘memorable’ day back in December we literally were on the couch talking about our future and literally began praying for a solution. We wanted that FIRE back in our bellies….we wanted something where we could make a huge impact, train, coach, mentor and build something beautiful that would help people and would utilize our God given talents. We wanted to represent something that we could be proud of and trust. We were OPEN, we didn’t know what it would look like- but that day we PROMISED God, and we promised each other, that we would be open and walk through all open doors. And then the phone rang.

WHY TAVALA

And this is how we ‘happened’ upon Tavala. Our prayer was answered when we received a phone call from a friend whom we had worked with previously, in a former business. We LISTENED more than TALKED and by the time our conversation was over, we looked at one another and said, THIS IS IT. I have never been at the beginning of a new Network Marketing company launch, but I have known many people who have -and as they became leaders over time, they helped shape the company in many areas….and they became very wealthy. We were up for the challenge. Back in July, we made a list of what was important in any Network Marketing company that we would be affiliated with and put OUR names, reputation and time in. Here is our list:

  1. Passion- Mission & Cause Based
  2. Easy to share product line
  3. Easy to share comp. plan
  4. Strong corporate leadership that we can trust
  5. Ability to create and make a difference within the company
  6. Solid foundation, min. if any ‘changes’
  7. Opportunity to sell in different markets besides USA and North America
  8. Opportunity for rapid growth and advancement
  9. Young but solid company!
  10. Ability to work closely with corporate – not just be a number or distributor.
  11. A company where monthly we can increase retention and have stability and predictability
  12. Never want to apologize or make excuses for the company (i.e. back orders, pre-sales, taste, etc.)
  13. A venue where we can excel as leaders, LEAD, INSPIRE, COACH & TRAIN What if one opportunity could change your life? What if we had not answered the phone or walked through the door?

Tonight, January 10th is the official Virtual Launch of Tavala. We are pleasantly surprised that the Flagship product with Tavala (TRIM) has been so easy to share and sell, and the growth of our team has already far exceeded what we had recently built in 4 months. Everything is in place for LEADERS to be recognized and also created. We hope you take a look at Tavala to see if it is a company and opportunity where you can build & discover your dreams. www.DaveandJoy.com

If you are OPEN and LOOKING for a new home, let’s explore together, to see if Tavala or our team is the right fit for you.

The Tavala Opportunity- Vemma Law Compliant- and why we joined NOW!

The Tavala Opportunity- Vemma Law Compliant: and why We joined NOW!

One thing we know for sure….

No one wants to waste their time or spin their wheels with any company- network marketing or otherwise, that is not creating the income-or lifestyle they want and deserve! So True, and also no one wants to put effort into a business only to have it shut down because of non-compliance, similar to what happened with the company called VEMMA.

We recently resigned from a company we had been for over a decade because we found something REALLY exciting and worth pursuing on a full time basis…. and quite different from anything else out there in the VAST ‘MLM WORLD’. We jumped in with both feet and are already creating a fast building team with others who are ready for something new in the MLM Industry.

Tavala launched in 2016 and caught our attention for the following reasons:

  • Proven leadership, we have worked with several of the corporate staff and believe in their abilities, their straight up honesty and the financial backing of the owners.
  • Great Products….both existing and what is coming in the very near future.
  • Product coming in January similar to, but superior to, a product we have built a business with in the past.
  • Sampling company. When new products are available, Tavala wants you to experience a sample to decide if you want to become a customer or a member. As a member you get 5 FREE samples to share, and after that, your samples are available to purchase for only $5.00 each.
  • The above makes it an easy company/product/opportunity to share….after all, most people do not like to sell OR be sold.
  • Same price for Customers and Members
  • No Joining Fee
  • Tavala will NOT promote or sell any products that are not yet on the shelves in their warehouse
  • Tavala promises to under promise and over deliver!
  • Tavala is a “subscription” business. You don’t need to be on an autoship and can still earn income by customers volume. (In their own word: Tavala is the direct sales subscription box company who offers unique, consumable products that are good for your body, both inside and out. A personalized subscription box where you choose the products, the price point, and how often you receive them.)
  • 20% on the first level payout, 25% on the second, and 25% on the third level. It is a uni-level compensation plan and is set up so people can have fast success. Go to www.DaveandJoy.com for details on the company and compensation plan.

We are looking for LEADERS to run with….beside, not in front or behind. If you are open and looking for a new home, and want to explore Tavala with us, give us a call to schedule a time for an authentic conversation to see if this is the right fit for you.

Mad Money for Momma- My First Try…

Mad Money for Momma- “my first try”

Hey fellow ladies and Mommas….

How many of you believe that having your own Monthly “Mad Money” is important & even critical for Momma’s Happiness and Well-being?

women-round-table-5

AND if the answer IS YES…..

yesWhat amount of mad money would make YOU happy? $$$$

Here’s my ‘story’….which I’ll call TAKE 1- as it was my first attempt at having my own “MAD MONEY”.

Back in the late 1980’s I was a single mom working part time in sales at a local health club when a friend approached me and convinced me with multiple praises that with my outgoing personality, number of contacts and sphere of influence that I have- that I would be PERFECT for her home based-woman only company. I don’t recall the details of the conversation much but I recall her saying that with VERY LITTLE TIME OR EFFORT I COULD EARN at least $300 a month- which is what I thought would be IDEAL FOR MY MAD MONEY ACCOUNT. I got excited!

3d characters isolated on white background series

I imagined the good life with ‘extras’ including travel or just plain ol’ MAD MONEY to buy whatever I want without pulling from my tight budget. Hmmm, lunch out more often, a pedicure or manicure, a good bottle of wine, new underwear and bras, a new fitness outfit, etc.

 

Although I am not a fan of “home parties” -nor do I care a hoot about make up or skin care, the allure of having my own mad money for just me– got me excited. I couldn’t even imagine having money that didn’t have to go towards the typical “gas, food and clothing” or my kids ‘stuff’.

I had NO IDEA how to begin to earn this MAD MONEY but trusted my friend 100% so when she suggested I buy the largest pack (saying I needed product in my ‘make believe store front’ from which to sell from (inventory) I believed that her recommendation to start with a $2400 pack was the BEST way to go! I also was convinced it was the quickest to earning the maximum amount of income in the shortest time. (In my mind, the fewest parties I had to host or travel to homes of others who wished to have a party, the better) I should have known I was doomed at that moment….but I did not.

I remember thinking that there was no way I had that kind of money, but as a young entrepreneur who was “coachable and trainable” (the ideal in this industry!) I actually took her advice and went to a local bank, took out a loan to start my “home based business”. I didn’t even have credit back then as I had always paid cash for everything so my ex-husband co-signed the loan.

When my BUSINESS arrived by truck- all I remember was the size of the BOX!!!! – it was huge, and most of the items in it were the color pink!

mary-kay

My friend, Barb, was good at what she did and helped me with two of my own ‘parties’. We did the facial thing around the tables, dabbled with colors and then she handed out the order forms to all the guests- my friends- who were there. To my surprise, people bought things and some bought quite a lot of ‘trinkets’ to make themselves beautiful! I think I earned at least $200 per party of a total of $400 PROFIT. WOW, Mad Money for Momma had come true.

I was in heaven…. until the reality hit- I did not LIKE what it took to be successful with this kind of home business. I remember wishing I was selling something health related, like fitness equipment, or fitness clothing instead. It didn’t take long for me to decide it was not for me so I sold off half of the inventory at my cost to friends and shipped the remaining product back to the company for a partial refund. Whew- I was done with THAT experience!!!!

True be told, I wasn’t mad at my friend Barb. She went on to be quite successful at HER home based business, winning “pins” and jewelry and even trips…. working part time. And I was happy for her. But this experience gave me a taste of what was possible! I got hooked on the idea of MAD MONEY FOR MOMMA and years later, got involved in a nutritional Network Marketing Company that was a good fit for me…..and I did earn MAD MONEY- only more!!!!

As I look back on my first attempt for MAD MONEY without a traditional JOB I recall how excited I got and I never lost that flame of hope for another way of earning my MAD MONEY.

When I first signed joined this company all I needed to be ecstatic was $300 a month. That’s it! And today, with decades of knowledge under my belt, and the industry of Network Marketing allowing this to be possible, I enjoy helping other MOMMAS out there create their mad money.

Fill in the blanks: How much MAD MONEY would make YOU excited to have each month? ________

What would you SPEND IT ON???? ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you are looking for a way to generate YOUR OWN MAD MONEY, I highly recommend a book written by a friend and mentor, Kimmy Brooke, called the FOUR YEAR CAREER FOR WOMEN. It is fun, light, educational, funny, and easy read and interactive. One thing the book stresses is to find something you are passionate about- something you will use/buy and recommend even if you are not earning money.

For those of you who are open to looking at our business, we are giving away Free Digital copies of The Four year Career for Women. You will love this book. Either connect directly with us at info@DaveandJoy.com or go to Amazon and order your copies today!
