MY COFFEE ADDICTION

I do not like to say that I am “addicted” to anything. However, I have a coffee addiction. Not just plain coffee, foo foo $5 coffee

Today, I pulled into an empty Caribou Coffee Shop. It was shocking for me to see that at 8:00 in the morning, the place was dead. I have been going to Caribou now for years. Most days you cannot even find a parking spot. ESPECIALLY, on a weekday morning at 8:00 in the when everyone is starting the morning grind. I have noticed the same at Starbucks.

The last two weeks I have noticed a steady decline, every time I have gone there for coffee the parking lot was a little less full. However, today, I was one of about 4 others in the whole shop. One of those “others” was my husband. We walked up to the counter and I was not surprised to see they had raised the prices on all the specialty coffees.

I suppose when gas is through the roof and money is tight, a little luxury like specialty coffee falls off the radar screen. I guess you have to start making choices about what you are and what you are NOT going to spend your money on.

I am not one of those people. I want to have my specialty coffee when I want it. I want the financial freedom to drive 30 miles to Caribou or Starbucks, ANYTIME of the day and spend $5 on a frivolous cup of coffee. I want to open my laptop and be surrounded by the ambiance of a coffee shop. I want to feed my coffee addiction when I desire to do so.

I don’t want to search “starbucks coffee recipes” on the internet and find out a cheaper way to make it at home. WHY would I do that? I’m a busy woman. One of my “little luxeries”, is going to a coffee shop, having someone else pour me that hot, steamy, beautiful, mocha colored liquid in a cup. They even place it on the counter in front of me and say,” Vanilla Chai with Raspberry for Angela.” That makes a coffee addict very warm and fuzzy inside. Hot, steamy, beautiful , mocha colored liquid……..just for me, anytime I want it. A simple pleasure that on some days makes all the difference.

The Morning Grind

Did you wake up this morning and wish you could hit the alarm clock and sleep a little longer? Did you wake up and wish you had a 7 day weekend? Are you tired of punching the clock? Tired of someone telling that you “only get an hour for lunch.”? How about someone telling you how much vacation you have?

Have you ever believed you could be successful at working from home? Surveys show that 85% of Americans would like to work from home. Why don’t they do it?
1. Too much money to invest
2. Too much time required
3. High risk
4. They are clueless on how to get started

How about Network Marketing?
Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki say it is a viable and rewarding source of income. You can bet no one tells them how much vacation they have or how long they have for lunch.
Network Marketing is responsible for $110 billion in global sales…every year. That’s more than Coco-Cola, FedEx, General Dynamics and Microsoft-combined.
If Network Marketing has ever been a consideration for you and even if you have never given it a thought…..read on about what to look for in top network marketing companies.

5 Pillar Companies

I know what your thinking…..what the heck is a 5 Pillar Company and why do I care?
I am going to tell you the answers to both of those questions.
If you are contemplating joining a network marketing company, you MUST do your research. If it is not a 5 Pillar company, you may be doomed due to no fault of your own.

There are 5 easy things to look for.
1. Does the company management have solid experience backed with UNQUESTIONABLE integrity?
2. Timing in the industry. Timing within national and global trends
3. Does the company have life changing products? Would people buy these products even if there was not a compensation plan attached to them
4. Does the company have a compensation plan that rewards the top builders as well as the part-time person? Studies do show that 96% of your team will be made of part-time people.
5. Does the company have a duplicatable system? Will it allow a part time person to make significant residual income and a full time person make extraordinary income?
These are called THE 5 PILLARS OF SUCCESS. If the Network Marketing Company you are considering joining does not have these……………FIND ONE THAT DOES.
