There was a time in my life I gave up on setting goals in MLM, because it seemed I never achieved any of them.-I can’t tell you how many times I targeted myself to knock on a certain number of doors every day. But after one or two people looked cross at me, I was finito. Done for the day.

Usually done for the next day, too.

In some cases, I was done with the entire business!

I Never Ever Considered Suicide

A slow, agonizing, miserable death was much more my style.

I wasn’t a salesman and would NEVER be a salesman. Setting sales-oriented goals was ridiculous, but I did it time after time after time, always thinking, “THIS time it’s different.”

Instead, every MLM goal just meant more frustration & more failure in my life. Who needs that?

And maybe worse, it convinced me that goal-setting doesn’t work.

But the truth on MLM is, you must begin with an Action Plan that you can and will actually, honestly do. And then there’s an art to setting goals. Goals work great if you choose the right kind of goal.

Somewhere along the way, I read an article by some brilliant person, whose name I don’t remember. And what this guy suggested was to set “activity goals.”

In other words, the first thing you do is think really hard. Research and investigate and ask questions of successful network marketers. Develop a step-by-step Action Plan, if you don’t already have one. Then you’ll know what activities will get you where you want to be.

Then you simply target yourself to do a certain amount of those activities every day. Maybe it’s 3 hours. Or 25 letters. Or 5 emails. Or 20 phone calls. Every day.

Results Don’t Matter!

The fact is, results will be invisible for some period of time. So pay no attention to results while you’re learning the process. while you’re learning the process. What matters is that you MUST do actions that have been tested & proven over time to get results.

There’s a subtle but crucial difference here between activity goals & result goals. For instance, in network marketing, you’re setting yourself up for a loss if you start by saying, “I’m going to make $50,000 in my business this year.”

How do you possibly plan and achieve that? You’ll be starting slowly, because you have no customer base. You have no one who will re-order.

Another problem with goals is that they imply limitations. At best, when you reach a goal, you have to re-figure your next goal.

So the truth on MLM is, if you simply target a certain number of certain activities (that you KNOW you can do) each and every day, you’ll never run into that problem. As your business grows, other activities will occur for you to do, and you can target those, too. Your group will grow, you will grow as a person, and that’s exactly what this business is all about.

Richard Dennis believes network marketing is a relationship business, not a sales business. You can get a free copy of Richard’s “74 MLM Big Money Tips” at http://GoSuccessTeam.com/74R5.html.

Strategy is an Art, never a Science!

Strategy is the Art of the conscious mind. Man invented strategy 3500 years ago to overcome the mounting challenges of the day and succeed while avoiding costly and painful conflicts.

Strategy is the Art that man invented to succeed, when the voices of Gods stopped guiding him!

Strategy is the greatest “winning tool” ever invented by man!

It enables the practitioners to predict the future of any encounter they undertake. While reacting rationally without the need for the “supernatural” or the voices from within!

It is the Art of the “Conscious Mind”, the Art of the General in the battle field.

A strategy guru once said: “Strategy is a style of thinking, a conscious and deliberate process, an intensive implementation system, the science of ensuring future success.” And how right he is…

When you know “what is strategy”, learn, and practice, you develop the strategist’s mind.

“The Thinking of the General”, who is trained to thinks several moves ahead of everyone else.

Strategy is the discovery of a “loophole” in nature!

It is the discovery of how the weak can overcome the strong and how the small can defeat the large….

It is the discovery of how you and I can succeed in business and in life no matter what the obstacles are.

FACT: Successful people know “what is strategy” and use it every day.

Usually they learn from expensive mistakes, trials, and errors.

You could be spending years of your life learning all sorts of theories of success from the “Gurus”, while still reacting to challenges the wrong way.

“Fight or Flight” response in meeting challenges is the prevailing instinct among most people…

Fight or Flight response to challenges, create a short-term satisfaction and long-term enemies and misery.

Don’t believe in the “use your instinct Luke” type of teachings…

Instinctual and spontaneous responses to challenges in business and in life, is the number one cause of “long term” failures for individuals, nations and businesses throughout history.

Strategy is the success art of the mind that for the last 2600 years its masters preserved its knowledge to the ruling classes’ politics and business throughout the world.

Strategy, “the thinking of the General” is the Forbidden and Secret Art of Success for thousands of years!

“All men can see these tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved.”

Sun Tzu the Art of War

What is Strategy According to Sun Tzu the Art of War?

Before we begin… please see this seven minutes video clip of
Osama El-Kadi in action… talking about strategy!

Sun Tzu answers the serious question of what is strategy.

In the opening of The Art of War treaty, he begins by saying:

“Strategy is the great work of the Mind. In Situation of Life and death, It is the Tao of Survival or Extinction. Its study cannot be neglected”

The Chinese written their most important classics in a very general universal style. These classics are templates for meeting life challenges.

The language of China lends itself well to this phenomenon. Each character is a multidimensional picture of an idea.

For example, the word Bing Fa could literally mean Martial Art, Strategy, and Conflict, Negotiation or even war.

Nevertheless, the way that Sun Tzu uses it, is closer to the way we use the term Strategy today.

I guess “War” was the most frequently used interpretation due to its strange “appeal”, but certainly, the word “strategy” is the closest to what Sun Tzu advocated.

Three words in the opening of the Art of War are very important:

First “Strategy”, second “Skill”, and third “Study”. Signify that it is not an inborn skill but a learned skill that you must study in order to win over life’s challenges.

What is strategy?

As a tool, Strategy is a “conscious” and systematic approach to winning over life’s challenges and achieving one’s mission.

In warfare, it is the art of employing all the military, economic, political, and other resources of a nation to achieve the objects of war.

In Business, it is the art of employing all the marketing, sales, technology, operation, and other resources to achieve the objectives of the business.

The English term, strategy, after all comes from the ancient Greek, meaning literally, the thinking or the art of the General or the Leader.

What makes strategy an Art?

Only one thing: the ability to consistently create new moves to overcome challenges in life.

When you or anyone masters Sun Tzu’s system, they are able to more completely understand their situation and take the right actions.

It doesn’t require any innate inborn skill.

Unlike all other strategic thinkers in history, Sun Tzu was able to breakdown the steps in building a strategy into simple components.

Why is this strategic art necessary?

Because our instinctual reaction to challenges is inappropriate. Our natural “inborn” reaction to life’s challenges is “flight” or “fight”.

Running away from challenges or getting into costly fights with people and organizations.

Strategy has a different approach to life’s challenges.

It teaches systematic positioning leading to triumph.

Ideally, over time, people want to join you and not to fight you.

Strategy is not for reactionaries but for “conscious” and thinking people.

Strategy is based on certain economic realities and teaches us how to use simple mathematics to calculate our possibilities and basic psychology to understand and to persuade our opponents.

What is strategy again?

A strategy is a continual “conscious” process of thinking, not a one-time planning effort.

Nevertheless, it also teaches the skills for taking advantage of opportunities that come our way every day of our lives.

Eating a low fat diet can help you lose weight - but that’s only HALF the story. Most people trying to lower their fat intake go to the store looking for processed foods whose labels show low-fat or no fat. There are processed fat-free chips, processed fat-free cookies, processed fat-free ice cream, and the list goes on and on. Let’s face it - sales of low fat processed foods have “skyrocketed” over the last 20 years and so has the number of Americans who are overweight.

The problem is that processed fat-free, or low-fat foods contain no real nutrition and are very low in fiber. As you eat these foods the acid in your stomach begins to dissolve the foods and digest them very quickly so you must eat more to feel full. On top of that, processed low-fat foods are loaded with MSG which lowers your blood sugar levels making you hungry an hour later. The result is that you eat more of the processed foods, you take in excess empty calories, and your body stores the extra calories as fat.

Healthy fats are not the enemy. Fat soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, & K are worthless without fat. Whole foods like nuts and seeds contain the essential fatty acids that your body needs to be healthy. Nutritional fiber is only found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains, and berries. The acid in your stomach will not completely dissolve these natural fibers, so eating them fills you up faster and keeps you full longer. Processed foods contain large amounts of Omega-6 oils which interfere with the body’s use of the healthy Omega-3 oils.

The fats to avoid are trans fats, partially hydrogenated oils, and excess amounts of animal fats. These are the fats found in fast foods, junk foods, and processed foods.

Most people who attempt the low carb diet buy a book but don’t read it carefully. They skip right to the section that tells them all of the foods they CAN eat like steaks, butter, mayonnaise, seafood, poultry, cheese - they are pleasantly surprised - so they start eating. Most seem to miss the paragraph that says to eat less than 1600 calories a day.

Your brain alone needs 130 grams of carbohydrates per day to function properly. When you eliminate carbs from your diet, you force your body into a state of ketosis. This is what diabetics suffer from. Your body’s built-in survival system knows you need carbs so it responds with cravings so intense that hardly anyone can stand up to them. One bite of something sweet contains enough carbs to knock your body out of ketosis within 10 minutes, then it takes two or three days to get back into ketosis. Two bites a week and you’ll never get anywhere.

Think about it:

Every single non-profit health organization in the world tells you to eat more fruits and vegetables - the low carb diet tells you NOT to.
Low carb diets create horrible constipation after only one day.
Low carb diets put enormous stress on the kidneys and increase the risk of liver disorders, gout, coronary heart disease, stroke, and several types of cancer.

It may to difficult to accept but the ingredients for a happy and fulfilling relationship with your significant other or spouse rests on the foundation of acceptance. Acceptance of the reasons you fell in love in the first place. Acceptance of who that person is at their core. Acceptance of all the little things they do.

1. Acceptance does not imply giving up. It is not a negative term. It is acknowledging reality. Acceptance means that we come to understand and accept our mate and our life for what it is. There is no judgment involved. It means that we accept things as they are, not as we think they should be.

2. Understand fully the difference between what is and what you think should be. You know, wishful thinking. An abusive spouse is what is; your belief that he or she is going to change any minute is what you think reality should look like. Big difference

3. Acceptance does not suggest that if your lover is abusive to you that you simply accept it and do nothing? No. You do accept it as a fact but then you are free to make a decision as to what you will do next. There are plenty of options but all of them are based on acceptance of what is. You can choose to take a different approach to the problem and see if that works. You can choose to leave the abusive situation. The choice is yours.

4. Here is the core truth behind acceptance. You have heard it before: “Oh Lord, give me the courage to change the things I can, the strength to accept what I cannot change, and the wisdom to know the difference.” What exactly do you have control over in life? Think hard about this one. You basically have control over one thing in your life: You. Period and end of discussion.

Look to your past and do a reality check. I know for myself that I spent about 40 years thinking that I could change my Father. I would somehow, through countless hours of discussions and arguments, show him the error of his ways and make him into the ideal Father that I wanted. Guess what? I am fifty-five years old and my Dad is still my Dad. The more I resisted who he was, the more he dug his heels in.

My Dad is at his core a wonderful, compassionate and giving person. He becomes that person when I exhibit those same qualities. Bingo! So it is my behavior towards my Father that empowers me to transform our relationship. I change my approach via the road of acceptance. Does it always work? No. Mostly? Yes. Which brings us to our next point…

5. We don’t impress people by describing in words how we have transformed ourselves. We transform ourselves and the people around us by being what we believe in. We lead by example. If you are looking to stop anger in your house, don’t get angry. Walk away from anger. Allow it to diffuse and then have a discussion about the effects of anger on the household. If you scream back in response to an angry person, you only add fuel to the fire.

6. Acceptance and transformational behavior are habits that we can master. Initially it will not be easy but that is always the case when we take on something truly meaningful. We need to unlearn old habits or ways of being and initiate new ones. Make a list of how you would want to be treated in very specific ways. For instance, “I want to be treated with respect”. Then your new habit is to treat everyone around you with respect. It is through repetition that we master new ways of being. New habits, if practiced, can take hold in three months.

After three months, see what is appearing in your life. I believe that you will see amazing results. The least thing you will have accomplished is a new you. Chances are extremely good that your mate will have experienced your new way of being and will change too. They will change because they want to, not because you want them to. That is true and lasting change. A change that results in a transformed relationship.

You can live a life that truly works and you can achieve peak performance in all areas of your life. You can not only survive life’s unexpected changes and transitions but also thrive. Powerful change is possible. You are fully capable of creating a life that you choose.

How much information does someone really need to know in order to steal your identity? Your full name? Your birth date? Your mailing address? With this information alone, some could access your existing accounts or establish new loans or credit in your name.

Here are some tips you can follow to help protect and secure your personal information and ensure that your identity or your credit have not been compromised.

1. Watch for over your shoulder when entering a PIN number or a credit card whether at work or at the ATM. Make sure that no one is watching.

2. Shred everything. One of the ways that would-be identity thieves acquire information is by digging through trash. If you are throwing out bills and credit card statements, medical statements or even junk-mail solicitations for credit cards, you may giving them all that they need to steal your identity. Invest in a personal shredder and shred all papers with any relevant information on them

3. Destroy digital information. When you get rid of an old computer system, or a hard drive, you need to take extra steps to ensure the data is completely, utterly and irrevocably destroyed. Simply deleting the data or reformatting the hard drive is not near enough. Anyone with a little technical skills can undelete files or recover data from a formatted drive. There are products on the market that destroy this information for good.

4. Always pay your bills at the post office or online. Never leave your paid bills in your mailbox to be sent out. Thieves steal from mailboxes all the time. This gives them access to all sorts of information like your name, address, credit account number, your bank information and a even a copy of your signature from your check for forgery purposes.

5. Analyze your credit report annually. You should review it to make sure the information on it is accurate and also make sure that there aren’t any accounts on there that you aren’t aware of or any other suspicious entries or activity.

6. Sign up for credit protection. New services like LifeLock promise to protect your identity with a million dollar guarantee. They have a proactive program to keep your identity is safe before anyone has the opportunity to use any of your information at all. They promise that if these “dumpster divers” get your information, it will be useless to them. They are so confident in their services that their CEO regularly publishes his real Social Security number and he’s perfectly comfortable with it, because he knows that they have guaranteed his good name. It is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Identity thieves are becoming increasing bold in efforts to steal your identity, but with these tips you will stay one step ahead.

Eden Paul is a CPA and small business owner who strongly suggests using resources like LifeLock to protect you and your family. For more information, visit http://www.safeidentityreview.com

Many foods are being claimed as super foods for weight loss, due to the positive effect that they have on our health and their ability to help us shed the pounds. Not all of the foods which have these so-called powers are exotic or expensive, although some are new to us in the West.

Fruits and vegetables have long been recognized as having the ability to assist weight loss, mainly due to their high fiber content which means they help us to feel full. Leafy green vegetables are also full of nutrients, both vitamins and minerals and so should form a major part of you diet, both when losing weight and when maintaining it. They are also the most accessible super foods for weight loss, in terms of availability and price.

Protein is another super-food and it is the food group which will keep your blood sugar levels even for longest, which means you won’t get hungry as quickly. Protein also offers staying power, and can boost your metabolism slightly in the process. You have to be careful which proteins you eat, and in what quantity, because like everything, if you eat more than you actually need, you’ll end up putting on weight, instead of losing it. So be sure to eat lean meat and poultry without skin. And be careful with cheese as certain types have a very high fat content. It is also possible to find protein from plant sources, which have the advantage of a much lower fat content. You can find protein in soya beans and other soya products, such as tofu, and also in lentils, seeds and nuts. Beans have the added advantage of being full of fiber and so will also help you feel full.

Most of us are used to drinking green tea if we go to a Chinese restaurant, but scientists now believe that there are chemicals in green tea which stimulate the body to burn calories.

Salads, particularly if they contain lots of green vegetables are very low in calories and can fill you up. Just be careful when it comes to dressing - you can use lemon juice or balsamic vinegar as a substitute which will spice up the taste without piling on the calories.
Low fat yogurt is a useful source of protein which can help keep hunger at bay if you feel peckish between meals. Make sure you eat the sugar free type, preferably organic with active cultures, which are very good for the health of your digestive system.
Omega 3 fatty acids are also important for a healthy heart and are another element in your diet which help keep blood sugar levels even and so aid weight loss. They are found in fish such as salmon, sardines, herrings and mackerel. So be sure to ad these super foods to you diet.
Although super foods for weight loss are extremely beneficial additions to your diet, you must remember that they won’t work magic and have to be eaten as part of a sensible weight loss program.

We know that the better our credit, they more we can qualify to buy on credit. However, fluctuations in your credit score can cause your best interest rates to change dramatically.

On a credit card, it is easy to see. When you miss a payment or accumulate too much debt, your credit card issuer can increase your interest rate. When it increases to the default rate, your finance charges can double or go even higher. You notice this because of the higher minimum payment.

Credit Cards

One example is a credit card with a 10000 balance. Assume you have a 9% interest rate. Your finance charges would be $75 each month. You would likely see a minimum payment of about $174 with about $99 going toward the principal balance. If you make a late payment on that account, you could see your interest rate skyrocket to the default rate listed in your credit card agreement.

If your default rate is 24%, then you would see your minimum payment nearly double to $298. Your finance charges alone would be $200, with just about the same amount of $98 going toward the principal balance. The scary thing is that some credit cards have default rates as high as 32%.

Even if you are never late on the account, your credit card issuer likely can still raise your rate to the default rate if they deem that you are a higher credit risk. They check your credit report regularly to monitor your financial situation. If they can justify a higher rate, then they can invoke the universal default clause in your agreement and raise your interest rate.

Vehicle Purchases

Your bad credit doesn’t stop with credit cards. Your home and car purchases are affected in a huge way also. Many people with poor credit pay over 20% on a car loan. For a $20,000 car, you would pay a total of $31,792. If you had good credit, you might get a much lower rate of around 6% or less. This could change your total payout to $23,199. Imagine what you could do with an extra $8593.

It’s not just the interest either. You also make higher minimum payments. You can pay $530 a month with poor credit or $387 with good credit for the same car.

If you have bad credit, avoid making major purchases. You should concentrate on reducing debt and establishing an on-time payment history. In cases of high credit card balances, you could really benefit from meeting with a credit counselor. Making a change today can help save you thousands later on.

Kenneth Long began his public service with nonprofit organizations in 2001. He has since conducted workshops teaching other nonprofit executives how to integrate credit counseling with volunteer tax preparation programs. Long is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and received his Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University.

History:

The art of Ju-jitsu is interpreted as being the “science of softness”. Translated literally, ju means gentle or soft and jitsu means art. While referred to as “a gentle art”, some of the techniques are nevertheless extremely dynamic in their delivery and would appear to be anything but soft.

There are many stories regarding the origins of Ju-jitsu, dating as far back as the 8th century, with historical lines indicating roots even before the time of Christ. While some claim that Ju-jitsu originated in China, the ancient chronicles of Japan describe how, in AD 712, Tatemi Kazuchi threw Tatemi Nokami, like throwing a leaf. Reference is also made in the Nihon Sho-ki chronicles to the Emperor Shuinjin holding a martial arts tournament to celebrate the 7th year of his reign in 23 BC. One of the bouts resulted in the death of a participant, a Sumo wrestler, who was thrown to the ground and kicked by Nomino Sukume. These accounts provide evidence of early “empty hand” techniques in Japan. There is also reference to Ju-jitsu developing as an art from the work of a Buddhist monk, dating back to the 13th century. These ancient techniques were known as kumi-tachi (or yawara), which is described in the Konjaku-monogatari, a Buddhist work dating back to that time.

Philosophy:

The central philosophy behind Ju-jitsu is to conquer an opponent by any and all means - as long as only minimal force is used. Consequently, this precept demands from its followers a strict conformity to various disciplines - both mental and physical.

Physical fitness has been a fundamental prerequisite for practitioners of Ju-jitsu. A characteristic of this art involves strict moral and dietary regimes, which are seen as being necessary if one is to reach the highest level of perfection. It is therefore not surprising that, historically, many Ju-jitsu masters withdrew to religious institutions, such as Buddhist or Shinto shrines.

Although the basic principle behind modern Ju-jitsu as a self defence art is to conquer an opponent using minimal force, the older art of Ju-jitsu focused on literally annihilating the enemy, which led to the development of many dangerous and fatal techniques.

Ju-jitsu today:

The traditional art of Ju-jitsu is still carried on today by a minority of practitioners, who wish to keep alive the warrior spirit of the fatal fighting techniques of the art. They do not enter competitions and their only goal is the continuation of the mental, spiritual and physical aspects of the art.

We worry about our kids: their well-being and happy future are our main concerns in life. We long for them to be content and successful at whatever they choose to do. We hope that we’ll be able to provide them with the same kind of help that many of us have received from our own parents. But how can we ensure that we’re doing everything in our power to make all of this come to pass?

We can, but there’s a process. First, take a few steps back and consider what we truly want for our kids. For example, when I asked a client of mine recently to think carefully of the three things she wished for her children, who range from 16 to 9 years of age, she responded “I want them to be loving, compassionate and responsible adults.” There was no mention of rich, famous or powerful. This mother really got to the root of what she knew to be the crucial characteristics necessary for her children to live happy and fulfilling lives.

Once we have this kind of clarity about the things we really want for our kids, we can then move forward towards instilling those traits in them. But first we must be completely clear. Here what to do:

1. Make a list of what you want for your kids. Be sure your list is unselfishly motivated! Financial security, love, happiness…even for them to be blessed with kids just like them! That’s what my Mother wished for me and it came true.

Once you have come up with a list of perhaps ten items, start from the top and compare the first two items. Which is most important? Take that choice and compare it to the next item on the list. Again, which is most important? Continue doing this until you have gone through your list and the item that remains is your number one choice.

Repeat the process for your number two, three, four and five choices. This is a list of the five most important things that you want for your kids. Having prioritized, now you can do your best to assist in creating a wonderful future for your kids.

2. Important rule: You are not making decisions about your children’s personal future. That’s their responsibility and their right to determine. However, as a parent, you are certainly able to influence their future.

3. As an example, let’s say that Financial Security is on your list. Do you know what it takes to create financial security? Think of people who have managed to achieve financial security on their own. What traits do they share? Perhaps you determine that responsibility is one of those traits.

How do you create responsibility? What do you know to be true about responsible adults? My own personal opinion is that these adults were taught early on about responsibility through actual experience. For instance, most of them probably had specific chores they did at home. Several probably worked in the summers. Many of them may have learned early on to take responsibility for their own lives and not place blame on others nor make excuses. At an appropriate age, the majority were undoubtedly taught to make decisions on their own and suffer the consequences. They learned not by being told what to do but in the actual doing.

Responsibility, coupled with other strong traits you might identify, will assist your kids in taking charge of their lives.

Be forewarned: It is so much easier to just let them do what they want versus being a watchdog. Teaching a child responsibility, or anything else for that matter, takes patience, determination and commitment.

4. Be a role model. Our kids model themselves after their childhood experiences and especially as they saw their parents. As much as we said we would never be like our own parents, how many of us can see our parents in ourselves? If you want your son or daughter to be responsible, be responsible. By being a true and consistent role model, you can have the most profound influence on your children.

5. Who is this child? I love the story a friend told me recently. Her son in New York City had a visitor, a young woman in her third year of college. After spending a week together, the student admitted that her major, biology, was not what she wanted to pursue but rather what her Mother suggested. She wanted to be a fashion stylist! How could her Mother have missed that?

Do you know what excites your kid? What moves them? What they love to do? Who they really are at their core? Honoring them for who and what they truly are is the greatest gift you can give your son or daughter. Take the time to connect with them and really listen. Listen on a level where you really are hearing them.

6. Praise the positive and attempt to minimize the negative. Of course you establish consequences for unacceptable behavior. But positive reinforcement is a much more powerful tool. It’s Pavlovian conditioning and it works.

7. I love this quote: “Expectations are predetermined resentments.” Don’t set yourself up for disappointment. If you are looking for fulfillment, look to yourself, not to your children. Don’t attempt to live vicariously through them. It will only end in unhappiness for everyone involved.

8. Try to remember what really ticked you off about your own parents when you were their age. Not that it was valid. Remember we were just kids and reacted in a childish manner much of the time. But it will help to empathize with how your own children are feeling, to understand their frustrations and to be able to communicate in a more effectual way.

Almost all of us find our way in life but it is so much easier if we have the necessary tools. You know now what you wish your parents had said or done back when. Break the chain! You are the most important person in your child’s life; you can provide those tools. That is how we ensure that their future is bright.

You can live a life that truly works and you can achieve peak performance in all areas of your life. You can not only survive life’s unexpected changes and transitions but also thrive. Powerful change is possible. You are fully capable of creating a life that you choose.

Some individuals are so desperate for the best hair loss treatment they become victims to hype and dubious promises which only lead to disappointment and a lighter pocket!

Leading international hair loss advisor Jonathon E. Phillips sets out in his ebook “Hair Loss No More” (see Resource Box below) to protect the innocent consumer against being enticed by false claims. At the same time he sets out a Step-By-Step Hair Power Regimen that doesn’t cost much except a little time and effort. In his opinion this is certainly the best hair loss treatment compared with prescription drugs and other remedies.

Mr. Phillips gives a very full explanation in his book regarding hair growth and the various factors contributing to hair loss. It is evident he is an expert in his field.

He believes the best hair loss treatment must involve the whole body. After all, applying lotions to the exterior or taking prescription drugs can be no match for understanding how your body works and the key elements of healthy blood and good blood circulation for hair follicles that work well and produce new hair.

“Hair Loss No More” is divided into 3 parts with an excellent Appendix section which provides illuminating information on popular methods considered by some to be the best hair loss treatment including drugs such as Rogaine and Propecia.

The first section of the book gives an in-depth consideration of male pattern baldness, female hair loss, the effect of diet and nutrition, exercise, stress, and heredity factors which have a bearing on hair loss.

Section two then focuses on what Mr. Phillips believes is the best hair loss treatment - his revolutionary Step-By-Step Hair Power Regimen. In details he sets out a three part regimen which treats the whole person to ensure the risk of hair loss is greatly reduced and healthy hair growth is maintained.

While it may take some effort to implement, the regimen makes sense. There are no hypish false claims here. It does require an examination of one’s lifestyle. But then, if you are serious about keeping your hair, I would imagine the sacrifice is minimal in view of what is at stake.

In section three, Mr. Phillips gives some of the best explanations of various hair loss procedures including laser, transplants, hair lotions, and drugs such as Rogaine and Propecia. Some of the details may surprise you.

Finally the Appendix gives much information on various methods for helping the body reduce stress and stay in good ‘operating condition.’

Mr. Phillips’ answer to the question “What is the best hair loss treatment” may not sit easy with anyone looking for a quick, easy, immediate solution. In all honesty such a remedy does not exist. Even the FDA has issued a statement to that effect.

However, the guidelines in “Hair Loss No More” certainly demands close examination. Treating hair loss from the inside my be the best hair loss treatment you can get!
