Comments Off on Mid Life Wake Up… Are you listening to the Universe’s whispers?
”I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: I’m not screwing around. It’s time. All of this pretending and performing – these coping mechanisms that you’ve developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – has to go.
Your armor is preventing you from growing into your gifts. I understand that you needed these protections when you were small. I understand that you believed your armor could help you secure all of the things you needed to feel worthy of love and belonging, but you’re still searching and you’re more lost than ever.
Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what other people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.” Author: Brené Brown
I think for me, one of my greatest fears is I will die without ever becoming the IDEAL ‘me’ that I set out to be when I was born.
Perhaps this is why I take “healthy” chances in life. I move around, don’t stay stagnant in any one place. It is also why at mid-life I began to embrace myself….the real me, with a different kind of appreciation. Wow, if only I had started that form of self love and appreciation earlier on in life.
It’s never too late to embrace the life we are living. What do YOU do to keep things fresh and moving in the direction of your life dreams?
Since I am a woman I gear this from a female perspective but I imagine it is similar for men as well.
Cheers to all of us who are ready to listen to the Universe!

Comments Off on Who is YOUR Ideal Business Partner & Ideal Customer? (MLM or Other)
Today I was thinking of my ideal Business Partner and Ideal Customer. I made a list, reviewed it twice and then asked if I AM that kind of person. If you have never asked yourself those questions and are in network marketing, give it a try.
So I made my list, reviewed it and evaluated how I measure up…. Ah, a slight reality check. The answer was ‘YES’ in most areas, but not all. So what do I needed to do? Raise MY skill set, my mind set and ‘vibration’ to become the person I’d love to attract. Simple? Not always.
Getting clear on who you want to attract to your business is crucial, otherwise you may end up spending 80% of your time with those who are not actually dedicated to the business. Those people are the ones who will ask questions and waste your time but never be serious about growing the business… but boy do they love the attention they get by asking questions. If you’ve heard of the 80/20% rule, make sure you spend 80% of your time with those who bring you joy and are worthy of your time….AND on your list of ideals.
Personally, I want to work with people I truly like and enjoy being around. That most likely means meeting new people as I may not KNOW these people ‘yet’. In network marketing it is about building a relationship with people -hopefully from ‘now on’, and hopefully a relationship where you remain friends long after one of you decides to do some other business or work with another company…. because let’s face it, things change. I was with a company for over 10 years and there came a time that for my own personal life and goals, I had to move on….so I resigned and joined another company that resonated

much stronger with what I was looking for. Am I still friends with some of my old team mates, you bet!
Hopefully, for us (Dave and I) at this stage in our career, we seriously plan on being with our current company from NOW ON……Yes, it is our 100% desire to work with and be with our current company through the next 10+ years…..into and past retirement. Pie in the sky thinking? I don’t know. But one thing for sure is we don’t jump from company to company…we look for a HOME. (As I said, the last company we were with over 10 years.)
My 8 TOP qualities I’d like to attract to our business? (grab a paper and pen and write yours too.)
TOP 8 qualities in my my ideal ‘Brand Partner’ or Business associate.
Leader: someone who enjoys the role of leader and possesses, and uses Leadership skills.
Self-Starter: someone who ignites their own inner fire & desire each and every day.
Self-Motivated and Hungry for Success. It’s not just being self-motivated but someone who is HUNGRY for success and contribution…. someone willing to do what it takes…and needs to make it happen.
Integrity: Someone who does what they say they will do. Keeps their word.
Loves the industry of network marketing. Someone who enjoys helping and teaching others.
Positive outlook. Shines with (and sees) positivities.
Coachable and Trainable. The industry changes, has ebbs and flows, as do all company’s with their products and company growth. Being open to learning new ways and implementing new ideas is crucial.
MLM experience. This is certainly not a requirement, but why NOT want someone who has experience and can bring a team of others with them to the business?
We LOVE our Customers: Here are the ideal qualities of my ideal customer.
Follows instructions so they get the best results possible!
Goes on a monthly auto-ship
Can afford the products
Gives us referrals
Calls US, versus us having to call them for follow up.
Who are your ideal business associates and customers? I once had a list of over 25 qualities for business partners and 10 qualities for customers, but have honed it down to the ones above.
If I STOP attracting those people that I desire in my life and into my business, I stop and ask myself why. Often times it just takes me reviewing the list and becoming aware. In no time, those ‘kind of people’ then begin to show up again.
(It becomes obvious for me to evaluate when I begin to attract whiny people who complain about everything and always have excuses or blame others! I quickly take off time, evaluate and get clear before I get back in my business mode, especially into recruiting.) 🙂
If you believe in the law of attraction or vibration you will understand what I mean.
I’d love to see YOUR list and see you attract what you want into your life and business. Let’s manifest together. We’re only an email or phone call away. info@DaveandJoy.com 802-846-7530.
Comments Off on The “Joy” of the Body Image Movement: from Loathing to Loving your Body!
I recently stumbled upon the Body Image Movement on Facebook, founded by Taryn Brumfitt, and I am now reading her compelling and humor-filled book, “EMBRACE”. Taryn also wrote her opinion on Weight Watchers now targeting their advertising to include their moms and daughters.
I’ll share how the word ‘diet’ has shaped my life. In high school my mother and I went to – you guessed it “Weight Watchers” together. She was not really over weight but may have wanted to lose 10-15 lbs. As for me, it taught me healthy eating and I did drop some weight….but did I really need to? I thought so, now I am not so sure.
Being on Weight Watches then was a secret….I was embarrassed to tell anyone (except my best friend) as none of us ever discussed dieting back then. (Thank God)
Weight Watchers became an obsession, especially in my teen years. (Thinking about meals, preparing, then measuring and weighing everything I ate) – and I guess the question is, is that normal and OK? or was it setting a girl up for future dieting???? and the feeling of not being enough?
I embraced the Weight Watchers lifestyle and lost 16 lbs. in 6 weeks, not deviating one crumb from the rigid program that it was back in the 1970s…. I went from a healthy teen with a little extra body fat to a very lean young woman. (But could it be maintained? Certainly not when I went off to college!)
Was it positive? Yes, in some ways….but damaging in others… as it set me up to feel like I was never quite the size or shape I wanted to be. Looking back I rarely have felt I am OKAY as I am…. esp. back then when the media starting idealizing Twiggy and stick shape models and talking more about celebrity bodies.
I did get into body building in my late 20s…. which had its pros and cons…..Pros in that I was building muscle in a healthy way and embracing my athletic God gifted body, but negative in other ways. Example, much like Taryn in the book Embrace describes, after a body building competition there is only way to go….and that is ‘down’ from your goal. Yes even though I got down to 8.5% body fat, sculpted my body the way I wanted and WON my division… How did I feel???? As I look back I still didn’t feel the success or HAPPY, I thought I would or think my body was ‘perfect enough’.
OMG, that is so sad…. maybe why this ‘movement called Body Image Movement hits so close to home today.
For those who do fitness or body building competitions (or other athletic endeavors) perhaps you can relate. Even though you know intellectually it is not possible or even healthy to stay in that physically lean condition….it truly became hard for me returning to what was a ‘normal’ body and honestly it devastated me.
How did I handle it? I remained fit and worked out religiously in my 40s and 50s- warding off any middle age bulge that I was told would surely and eventually find me… and then in my mid-50’s I went through menopause. Fortunately I didn’t experience drastic mood swings, but I did have the ‘hot flash’ symptoms and put on belly fat…which I called my “men-o-pot”. For the first time in my life, I truly hated my body. I didn’t think it was fair that God would create this ‘widening’ of the body at the time when we women stopped being able to create babies.
Today, at 61 years old- it’s about time to embrace how I am and how I look. I finally get it and want to help others with The Body Image Movement. I think part of my motivation is I have a daughter, 2 step- daughters and daughter- in- law, who thank GOD all appear to have healthy body images….and I also have 4 granddaughters (add 2 more from my step-daughter)…that is 6 young females in our family tree. There is no way I want them to obsess with their body image….I want them to believe they are beautiful and talented HOW THEY ARE…and that they are capable of doing and becoming anything they want in life.
Heck, wouldn’t you agree that there are far more important things in the world to worry about than what number is on the scale or the size of your belly, butt or thighs? LOVING YOUR BODY FROM THE INSIDE OUT IS TARYN’S MISSION! (I bought her book, Embrace, off Amazon and am finding it hard to put down!)
Who else can relate? I’d love to know.
This is just the beginning for me….and it’s interesting as the company I work with has an entire division dedicated to weight loss.
For me, MY focus is the health benefits of being at a healthy weight, versus sliding into ‘skinny jeans’ or wearing a bikini. But along with this I also love it when people are empowered and have confidence as when they do, they become unstoppable…. It may not happen overnight- but beginning to love our body from the inside out is a movement that is happening around the world.
I believe the key is to love your body no matter what size you are and to strive to embrace health as a habit, not an event.
Let’s just say, people who are confident in their own ‘skin’ also have a different “PEP IN THEIR STEP” which in turn attracts a higher vibration to them. Ultimately isn’t that what we want? To live, create more in our lives of things we want and deserve.
Comments Off on Why I joined Tavala? Why I LOVE Network Marketing….
December of 2016 we were introduced to a new network marketing company that had launched November, 2016. At first we were hesitant to consider a new company, especially because we were deeply involved in the industry with another company that I had been with for over 10 years. ONLY, that company was not growing….in fact, it was losing people quickly for reasons I don’t need to get into….
After evaluating the new opportunity and feeling a trustworthy connection with the corporate team, we decided to resign from our former company- BAM! Walk away from our monthly check…in search for something far more promising for our financial future.
I’m sure almost everyone on the planet knows ‘someone’ who joined a network marketing company at the ‘right time’ and nailed it right right through momentum- becoming very wealthy and in the “millionaire club.” That is what we wanted. It was ‘our time’ to earn the big checks…so going through the growing phases of a new company were a welcome experience that we looked forward to, as the rewards had the potential to be huge.
We joined Tavala not only financial reasons, but we also wanted to represent products that are efficacious and available…not on back order or ‘coming in the next 30-90 or more days! We wanted to be able to introduce a solid opportunity to other entrepreneurs who want to create abundance in network marketing….
There is no other business that I know of where you can get involved for such little financial outlay. The largest package available with Tavala is under $500! The company provides the products, the website support, structure from the corporate team, ships all product on time AND the company pays on time. In other words, they handle the ‘heavy lifting’ and our job as Brand Partners is to share the opportunity and products with others….. and by doing so, build networks.
Top reasons why I love network marketing:
Time Freedom: be able to work when, where and with whom I want.
I get to create daily and no 2 days are the same. I enjoy helping people, meeting new people and supporting the transformation of all people- whether financially or with their health.
NO limit to what I can earn
I enjoy travel and ‘earning’ trips… earning bonuses. In other words, being rewarded and recognized.
Residual income potential.
If you feel stagnant in your life or your current company do some research in the industry of network marketing. Ask questions, connect with missions and visions that resonate with you. Interview your potential up line team and perhaps be connected to the CEO or members of the corporate team. We LOVE to do this!
If you are looking to have an open and honest conversation- NOT one of PITCHING our company or embracing OUR lifestyle, give us a call. We love meeting new people and making friends with others who enjoy the industry and are passionate about helping others get more of what they want in life.

Comments Off on Darlene Carson shares WHY NETWORK MARKETING…
“There has been a lot of discussion as to why folks decide to join network marketing. Most start, it seems, because of the amazing products. Then, in my case, I discovered unwavering integrity of the organization (Corporate leadership) my supportive up-line, and what great teacher/mentors they are. Even with all those great positives, what do most people want to know before signing up with any network marketing company?
Can “I” make money here? I found that I could, do and can make BIG MONEY. Within the first 4 months, I was making more monthly, than I had with my previous company in the previous 4 years.
You are probably asking yourself, “Why would she stay so long in a company where she was earning such a mediocre amount?” To be honest, I was having fun and I never thought I could do better than I was already!
Little did I know what a difference TEAM makes—UP-LINE makes—TEACHING AND TRAINING makes—COMPANY makes—COMPENSATION PLAN makes—RECOGNITION makes, ATTAINABLE BONUSES & TRIPS makes and when it all works together, and I do my part, the checks start to increase—far beyond I could every imagine!
Eleven years ago, my husband suffered a massive hemorrhagic stroke that left him permanently disabled. We went from two incomes to NO INCOME overnight! We accrued a great deal of credit card debt just to keep our home and pay bills. That was our financial situation when I joined Tavala.
With each rising rank with Tavala, my checks grew as did my confidence and joy. I was invited to speak on the Corporate calls and share how I was growing my business! Tavala encourages Brand Partners at every level to do and be their best and recognizing achievements, to stimulate growth and enrichment.
Now at my current level of Lifestyle Bonus of $750 (every 4 weeks and on top of bonuses and commissions), I was able to pay off all the credit card bills accrued during that time. With those gone, I was able to put to bed an $18,000 loan we had to take out to make our downstairs bathroom handicap accessible.
With all that behind us, we are rebuilding what catastrophic illness tried (and did, for a time take away)—our financial security! Every month, I add more than $1,000 to our savings account and that scary paycheck to paycheck feeling is finally gone! THAT is what successful network marking, with a prosperous thriving company is like for me!”

Comments Off on Great Advice on How to Lose Weight…..
I recently asked a woman on our team if she could share her success with another person who is looking to lose weight and feel great.
Here is her advice and it is spot on with what I would have suggested, only she added the MY FITNESS PAL APP, something I do not use. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/
1. Down load the My Fitness Pal app and enter your info. Stay around the calorie intake it gives you.
2. Eat every 2-3 hours. If you are only eating once or twice a day, your metabolism is moving at a snails pace, if moving at all. You need to make it move by eating. (see below, by adding the Tavala TRIM you can also boost your metabolism)
3. Watch how many carbs you eat. Eat lots of raw or cooked veggies. Veggies must become your way of life… learn to love them. And get your protein in as well.
4. Add 30 mins. of movement a day. Even if you have to break it up or two or three sections . If you are out of shape, begin with walking.
5. Drink water!! Drink water until you are pretty much peeing clear!
6. Put YOU first!!
The number 1 reason why people quit is because they only look at the scale. Don’t only look at the scale, measure yourself and keep track. Markers are more important than calories so make sure you are eating. When you lose the weight you desire, you want to look like you loss that weight or more. DON’T RUSH IT, you want to lose fat and not just water and muscle mass. Stick with this and we know you’ll reach your weight loss goals.
You important!!! You can do this….. (Thank you, weight loss coach Deena, for sharing your expertise!)
I’d also like to add that there is a new product that is helping everyone BOOST their metabolism. It is a drink called Tavala Trim. Add THAT product (drink form or capsules) to your morning and you’ll enjoy more energy, more focus, suppress your appetite and cravings and will lose weight. Available at www.DaveandJoy.com
If you found this information helpful please let us know. You can reach us by email at info@DaveandJoy.com or by phone, 802-846-7530.
Cheers to YOUR transformation.

Why is it that the numbers in any Network Marketing Company (volume) often start to decrease or get stagnant during the Summer Months?
They certainly don’t have to if you are true to your DMO, Daily Method of Operation. In fact this summer OUR TEAM has decided to make this statement false by continuing to make our business a priority.
Ever realize that some brilliant companies in downtime, when the economy is sluggish, continue to advertise or INCREASE their advertising? They understand. Professionals in network marketing do too and as a result capture a greater share of the market.
Here is the big ‘summer lie:
For some unknown reason, people slowdown in the summer. This is a big mistake that will cost you 90 days this year! (Typically June, July and August or perhaps even September as you try to gain momentum again)
What if we changed that? 2018 can be your life altering year if you don’t buy into the big lie about summer being slower. What IF you realized that our industry (Network Marketing) can actually GROW in the summer because people are more aware of wanting a better lifestyle for them and their families. (i.e. vacations)
You’ve got TWO choices… Which one will you choose?
#1. Begin building momentum in June, escalate it in July and throughout August…. and by September you can hit the ground running. (Typically parents get caught up with school being out in the summer and having limited time, but if you plan accordingly, use your resources (for us one resource is our APP on our phone) and continue to ‘share’ 2 a day, 5 days a week, you can do your business in 10-30 minutes a day! Just schedule your time! It may mean getting up 30 minutes earlier in the day or stay up 30 minutes later – OR simply fit it in the cracks of your every day life.) (Ask us how, info@DaveandJoy.com)
Think about this…. In the summer you are generally more social and meet more people as you are out and about living life. This is an easy time to drum up a conversation by asking THEM questions. Perhaps what you have to offer in your business is their solution to what they’d love MORE of or LESS of.
#2. You can buy into the lie that summer is always a slower time of the year for everyone in network marketing and try to get some of your people back in the groove in September. Good luck, you may be able to reactive and get 1/3-1/2 of your people reactivated and in motion! Luckily, for us with Tavala, our customer base is high and because of products that are universally in demand, volume should not stop dramatically ….even IF people are not actively building the business.
Imagine if you keep things fresh and growing in the summer (It is a season of growth with nature!) by September you’ll be in full force and end up strong by the end of the year.
If you don’t, then the same people who slowed their business in the summer will certainly do the same through the upcoming holidays. Halloween through the New Years.
Simple-Easy to do, and also NOT to do. Lesson…..Keep your business growing through the summer and by September when typically business begins to boom again, YOUR business will be in full throttle.
Tavala is made it through the Formulation stage and is entering Concentration….and soon we will be in Momentum!
What’s the bigger payoff? The bigger payoff is that your team will be grateful, positive and motivated…
This leads to leadership.
What are 5 Characteristics of Great Leaders? How will YOU show up this summer? Will you continue to grow or cruise through like it is a hobby and that you are on holiday?
Whether you are a part time network marketer or a full time professional, we’d love to hear how you handle YOUR summers and business!

Comments Off on How to Boost your Metabolism? Have you Tried Tavala TRIM?
Ahhhh, the famous question….. How can I Boost My Metabolism so I can lose weight?
If dieting and weight loss was easy & simple we’d all be at our ideal weight… but look around you, the percentage of overweight and obese people in our society is alarming. Health is compromised as a result and people’s self-esteem and depression is at an all time high.
So, if diets don’t work (variety of reasons that I won’t get into here) what is a solution?
Up until November, 2016 I would not known how to answer this question. Even though I have been in the health and fitness industry for decades (personal trainer and transformational life coach) this product was not available.
If I had access to the TRIM when I was actively training and coaching people, my clients would have reached their weight loss and health/fitness goals MUCH quicker and many would not have stopped their path to health and weight loss. As a result, those who really had determination and will power enjoyed success, but most people did not, at least long term.
So how to get started? Go to www.DaveandJoy.com and place your order. Give us a call at 802-846-7530 or email us at info@DaveandJoy.com. Tell us about yourself, what your main goals are for weight loss or improved health and energy and we’ll help support your process.
Once you have boosted your metabolism you’ll enjoy burning more calories each day. You’ll also get off your current ‘set point’. Many people we coach have dieted so often in their life that either they don’t believe that they can lose weight or don’t believe it is possible as this “sounds too good to be true”....
I might have said the same thing too if I had not seen the TRIM work for thousands of people in the past year and half, since it was formulated by Tavala November 2016.
Below are several friends who have lost weight and dramatically improved their health and life style with Tavala Trim. Please share this discovery with your family and friends.
If you know anyone who is looking for an opportunity to help others and earn income, contact us as we would love to have more Brand Partners helping people around the globe.
Truth be known, we don’t sell product, we help people reach their goals AND we build networks.
We can’t wait to meet you. Reach out today!
Tavala is the Transformation Company. Tavala Trim can help you reach your weight loss and health goals. Trim is a Thermogenic Product that BOOSTS your METABOLISM, gives you energy and focus, suppresses your appetite and cravings and helps you lose weight. It is also used by active people and athletes for that added ‘edge’.
