33. Think about keeping healthy, avoiding stress, prolonged colds and flu.

At this time of year we tend to be mixing with more people than our normal circle of friends and family. With the added stress of planning, preparing and performing Christmas our bodies become under stress and easily give in to infection which can then be difficult to shake off.

What is to be done?

Well, it sounds too simple but remember, you are what you eat and all that you eat (and drink) forms the material by which your body copes.

Try upping your intake of Vitamin C, Vitamin B Complex and Garlic.

If this is difficult then try supplements but only those produced from whole plant material and from organic sources. In other words, Nutrilite. For more information go to http://www.nutrilite.com/

Supplements synthesised in labs are not easily utilised by our bodies and most often pass out in our urine.

At the same time drink good water. That is water with no impurities or additives like chlorine, plastic traces, cysts or sediments but with good natural additives from the bedrock like calcium and magnesium.

Bottled water can add up to expensive so why not invest in an eSpring Water Treatment System and make your own. It works out much cheaper in the long run.

So, keep healthy, keep moving and use up those calories and we hope to see you all in January 2012. Both the ABS on January 8th and the Open Opportunity Meeting on January 19th are at the Holiday Inn, Rotherham on J33 of the M1. The focus for January will be healthy bodies and minds.

32. Environmental Responsibility & Socially Responsible?

Wow, now that's a title with a lot of letters in it!

However, it is an issue that we need to remember is central to Amway's Founding Family beliefs.

I'm not sure we have 'shouted' about it enough lately so we can play our part make sure people know what a high priority it is for Amway.
From little things (or not so little) like the white filler in our delivery boxes being biodegradable, the company sponsoring our fundraising for Treetop House last Spring and the money that is raised every local ABS for other Children's Charities right up to the planting of tree's, the organic plantations and that in 2010 alone Amway Europe raised more than $2.8 million for children's charities.

If you can make time scan through the document on the front page of http://www.amway.co.uk/ before you log in under ABOUT AMWAY > CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP > 2010 REVIEW PDF.

Then, take less than 2 minutes to fill in the questionnaire after you have logged in at: https://www.amway.co.uk/news?news_id=11475&back_uri=/

Let's all do our part by recycling all the card and paper that come with the orders, using Amway Academy (saves travelling)  and telling interested parties how good Amway is at being Environmentally & Socially Responsible.

Hope to see you at the last Open Meeting of the year. Rotherham Holiday Inn, Thursday December 17th 2011 and make sure you have tickets for the Local Business Seminar January Sunday 8 th.

Happy Christmas to you all.

31. Welcome

Updates & Festivities! November and December are two of the most profitable months in the business - if taken advantage of.
Here are some tips:
  1. Help out with 'difficult' Christmas Presents. For example, what to get for the Great Aunt or Nan who really has little need, the Brother-in Law you don't know very well or the little 'extra' gift for a girlfirend, partner or wife so she has a surprise to unwrap on Christmas morning. Glycerine and Honey Soaps for the Aunt (or any woman) - they are always appreciated for their lovely fragrence and evocative appearance. A Hymm Gift Set for any man who wet shaves - a comfortable shave and manly fragrence. A bottle of Perfume for that surprise gift - know the leading fragrence in each so you are able to match the personality (it's all in the brochure).
  2. Make up gift sets and hampers to suit the size of different pockets. For example, a Car Wash, sponge and wash leather for the man (or woman) obsessed with their car.
  3. Offer a free wrapping service with every gift purchased.
If any of the above suggestions seem attractive but you are struggling with skills or ideas then ask daveandjillashton@btinternet.com
