New York, Here I Come!

Thanks to some help from a friend, it's now all but official that I'll be running the 2007 New York City Marathon. It will be my sixth time running 26.2 miles and, let me tell ya, each time it's an adventure. From losing excess weight to building up your miles, to watching every little thing you put into your body, it's an awesome experience. For a guy my age (43), getting into marathon shape is one of the only things I can do that makes me feel like an athlete. I guess it's the discipline you need to prepare to run that distance.

As you would guess, I'll be calling on Agel Gelceuticals to help me prepare for the November challenge. EXO and UMI to stay healthy, OHM for energy and mabye FLX to keep the joints well-lubricated and feeling good.

Wish me luck, the adventure is only beginning and I'll keep everyone posted on my training.

Live well,

Jeff

Talk the Talk, Walk the Walk...Run the Run

That's me over there, running the Marine Corps Marathon in 2001, busting out at a sub 7-minute pace. Impressed?

You shouldn't be.

I crashed and burned that day, finishing my worst-ever marathon in just under four hours. Totally disapointing, as my goal was something under 3:30.

Anyway, in 2005, at the tender age of 41, I set out to do better. I started picking the brain of a sports nutritionist, and really trained the right way. A big part of the training was vitamins and nutritional supplements. I learned a few things.

One, the proper nutrition makes you feel a lot better, keeps you from breaking down with colds, etc., and helps you bounce physically back from those LONG training runs.

The other thing I learned is that I much preferred my "tasty" supplements to just popping vitamin pills. I looked forward to the better tasting protein drinks and these things called "PowerGels," which were like instant-energy in this gooey form.

I think that's what first attracted me to Agel, the delivery system. Once I tasted the stuff, I knew it was about the coolest new vitamin product I'd ever seen.

Anyway, in 2005, I broke the 3:30 barrier and, now with the help of Agel EXO, OHM, UMI and MIN, I'm shooting to break 3:15 before I get to the age of 45.

Wish me luck and if you have some time, Take The Tour Today.

Top 10 Reasons to Start a Home Business

From the Home Office in Manasquan, N.J. (actually from the free e-book "Success in 10 Steps"):

10. Better Retirement Plan. SEP IRAs and Keoghs let you deduct a higher percentage of business profit than your 401k.

9. Tax Deductions. Home office, car expense, medical insurance, cell phone, entertainment, travel, education, etc.

8. Security. No layoffs, no downsizing.

7. No office expense = quicker profit.

6. No commuting. Save time and money.

5. Flexibility. Work the hours you want to fit in with your life and family. If your best working hours at 2 a.m. to 5 a.m., you're fee to do that.

4. Work with People You Like. No difficult co-workers. No office politics.

3. Self-Satisfaction. YOU create the business. YOU get the credit.

2. No Income Ceiling.

...and the number one Reason to Start a Home Busines...(drumroll, Paul)...

1. No Boss!

If you're wondering if Agel is the right home business for you, Take the Tour.

What's That? You Say You Can't Sing?

Well, we've seen that won't stop you from being an American Idol finalist.

But if you are worried that you can't sell, relax. That won't stop you from being successful with Agel. It's not about selling, it's about spreading the word about about a really cool product.

It's about marketing something that you like, and working with people you like. People you are going to want to see succeed.

Believe me, I'm no salesman. I told this story earlier in the blog, but the only time I ever sold anything was when I was about 11 and wanted a tape recorder. I started a homemade popsicle business, investing in Dixie Cups, popsicle sticks and powdered drink mix and "renting" freezer space in my parents refrigerator.

I actually did pretty well. It was a hot summer in Jersey, I guess. But as soon as I had the funds I needed to get the tape recorder, I shut down.

True story.

Here's a quote for the day, from Zig Ziglar. "You can have everything in life you want, if you help enough people get what they want."

That's a pretty easy philosophy for me to grasp. Just don't ask me to sing it.

Have a good weekend, and if you are so inclined, Take the Agel Tour. Thanks again, Jeff

So have you ever heard of Fucoidan? (an excerpt)

"Like many the answer to this question is "no". Well let me attempt to give you some valuable information in this article that may save your life or the life of loved ones. Fucoidan is like a closely guarded secret, as an antioxidant it has certainly piqued the interest of many scientists. Fucoidan has been scientifically proven to enhance immunity and cellular health to the point where it helps heal wounds, supports normal blood pressure, detoxifies the body against heavy metals, helps prevent the common colds and flu as well as, yes fight Cancer. There I said it. Fight Cancer."

As an antioxidant, fucoidan has piqued the interest of many scientists and researchers as one of the ocean's greatest treasures. Read on.

Agel's newest product, UMI, offers the vast benefits of the ocean in an easily consumable gel form. The active ingredient in UMI is fucoidan. As a component of brown algae, fucoidan has long been considered a natural source of healthy food and used for many purposes by island and coastal cultures that have had access to it. Now, further research is suggesting that fucoidan may prove to be just what the doctor ordered.

Although brown algae has long been known to possess great nutritional value, it has only been a short time since the scientific and medical communities have extracted and studied one of the most powerful and potentially beneficial nutrients in it. As an antioxidant, fucoidan has piqued the interest of many scientists and researchers as one of the ocean's greatest treasures.

One of the most versatile of the resources gleaned from the ocean's water is algae, better known as seaweed or kelp. It is well known that seawater contains 77 minerals, trace minerals, and other elements. Those same 77 elements are also found in algae. Algae are sea plants characterized by their color: green, red, and brown. Of the three classifications of algae, brown algae are the most used for human consumption.

Ingredients: Fucoidan (from Seawead extract), Apple Cider Vinegar, Water, Fructose, Malic Acid, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Natural Flavoring, Sodium Benzoate.

How Ya Eatin'?

I'm no saint.

I love a greasy cheeseburger as much as the next guy. But we all know you can't live on junk food (yeah, I like fries, too). Living about a quarter of my life on the road, it's even tougher to resist the temptation to eat Fast Food (Super-Size, of course) on an almost daily basis.

That's yet another reason why Agel has been a nice find for me. When I go out on the road, I take as many packets of EXO as I need and know I'll be getting the equivalent of five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.

Did I mention the stuff tastes good?

OK, OK, it's not a cheeseburger, but it's peace of mind.

Check out EXO and all the other Agel Gelceuticals when you take the Tour.

Until next time,

Jeff

Show of Hands, Please

How many of you have started a regimen of vitamins and supplements only to get tired of all the pills you've got to take? And, then, how many of you have ended up chucking bottles of unused vitamins in the garbage? Yeah, thought there was a chance some of you would raise your hand.

I'm a vitamin guy. I take 'em religiously. But that doesn't mean I like taking them. Some of them even smell nasty when you open up the bottle.

Well, this is one of the coolest things about Agel. You and your family will actually look forward to taking them. Why? Because they taste good...and they don't stink.

Whether you want to simply try Agel, buy Agel or join my team, take the free tour.

See ya soon,

A Reality TV Show Meets Real Life

Fan of The Apprentice?

Ever think to yourself, "I could market that product better than those guys?"

I did, and that's why I'm giving Agel my best shot. See, from what I can tell, it's about marketing, not sales. This website, for example, is one of my ways of spreading the word about the Agel opportunity.

I'm not in your grill, am I? You can log off any time you want. You can click the links, download the e-books, maybe laugh a little bit at some of the pictures and stories.

Or you can just leave.

One thing, though, if you decide to join our Agel Team.

No one will ever look at you and say,

"You're Fired!"

Enjoy the day,

Rich Dad, Poor Dad's Advice

Robert Kiyosaki's message is simple but profound:

If you want to be rich you need to be a business owner and an investor. If you aren't, you will forever be working for someone else, or working in a business that owns you.

Of all the business models out there, such as franchises, government and private sector small businesses, Robert Kiyosaki says

"If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old style type business, I would have started building a network marketing business."

His strong conviction that network marketing is the ideal business led him to write his new book The Business School. Which I hightly recommed.

Here are some of Kiyosaki's thoughts on why you should start a network marketing business (excerpted from The Business School).

Kiyosaki - why I like network marketing for you

• "A network marketing business is a business with people who are there to help you become richer."
• "Network marketing systems are fairer than previous systems for acquiring wealth."
• "I recommend a network marketing business for its life changing system of education."
• "Many companies in the network marketing industry are really business schools for the people, rather than business schools that take smart kids and train them to be employees of the rich."
• "A network marketing business is based upon the leaders pulling people up, while a traditional corporate or government business is based upon only promoting a few and keeping the masses of employees content with a steady paycheck."
• "I found in network marketing companies an education system designed to draw out the rich person in you."
• "If you love to lead by teaching, influencing others to find their own world of financial abundance without having to beat the competition, then a network marketing business may be right for you."
• "If you are a person who is terrified of making mistakes, and afraid of failing, then I believe a network marketing with a good educational program is especially good for you."
• "After you have built your business, and you have a strong cash flow, then you can begin investing in other assets."

Re-read those reasons above again, and truly think about them as you continue to look for a business to better your life. If you want to give it a shot, Take the Tour Today.

Peace,

Jeff

EXO, FIT, FLX, MIN, OHM...No BS

I've already gone against the grain.

See the book to the right? It is the book that led me to Agel. I've made it a part of my program because I figured, hey, if it led me, it could lead others.

But, the How to Escape the Rat Race book does not reveal Agel as the "way to Escape the Rat Race" until the end. If you're looking into Home-Based Business opportunities on-line, you'll become familiar with this luring strategy immediately.

Believe me, my hard-drive is loaded with downloaded books, plans, program-offers, etc. I get nailed with auto-response e-mails at a rate of something like 20 per hour.

This is a confession. I've been looking for something for a while, and I spend a lot of time on-line with my job. And, I'm a "newbie" at this.

So, anyway, you know going in that Agel is the product.









If you want to read "How To Escape the Rat Race" go ahead, but I've given you the ending.

If you'd rather just jump to Information on Agel, Take the Tour.

Peace,

Agel Scam? Haters, Haters Everywhere!

One of the first things I've noticed when I've told people about the Agel opportunity, is that they immediately run to their computers and begin a Google search. And what do they find?

Tons and tons of sites calling Agel a "scam" and how 97% of those who try it fail.

Keep in mind, in just about every case, these are sites to promote an opposing multi-level marketing program and/or a site that claims it can help you "make millions" with Agel, if and only if you sign up for their programs.

I encourage everyone to do their own research on Agel. I've had friends pore over the ingredients of each supplement, asking their doctors, sports nutritionists, anyone for their opinions on the product. That's what I want. And that's what I want all my team members to do. We're in the honesty business and I'd hate to think anyone who joins our team is going to resort to the negative tactics used by so many on the net.

Remember, those who call it a "scam" are usually trying to sell you something else.

Be your own judge. Do your homework. Talk to doctors.

You can get tons of information here.

What Would Warren Buffet Do?

Do you think Warren Buffet knows a thing or two about business? After all you don't become the worlds greatest investor, and second richest man in the world without knowing your stuff right?

When Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway purchased The Pampered Chef a Direct Selling/ Network Marketing home based business company it caused many to reevaluate their thinking about the Network Marketing industry.

Looking for Leaders

Not much more to say than what's in the headline. This is not a sales job, folks.

I'm looking for people who want to step up to the plate like Big Papi and get it done.

There are a million cliches, but the most appropriate one is that we each control our own destiny. Go ahead and read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki, and see what he has to say about taking charge and building a business by finding good, smart leaders.

"If I had to do it all over again, rather than build an old style type of business, I would have started building a network marketing business." -- Robert Kiyosaki

What's Really Important in Life?

Time to get philosophical.

I think the greatest lesson my dad ever taught me was that we all should really "work to live," as opposed to "live to work."

None of us is ever promised tomorrow.

In a nutshell, that's why I joined the Agel team, to see if I could have a little more time to live.

If you think you've reached a point in your life where you want to see if there's a better way to live, maybe you will want to join us on the journey. Again, thanks for stopping by.

And, please consider Taking a Deeper Look Into Agel.

Peace to you and your family this Easter,

Agel EXO and Kids

Meet my boys, Beau (8) and Tyler (10). They are my world.

It's funny, but I spend a good part of my professional life traveling to really exciting places and events, which often leads my guy friends to say, sarcastically, "tough job."

I always say, after admitting I do have a pretty cool job, "I'd still rather be home with my boys." If you are a parent, I'm sure you can relate. I hate to ever miss any of their games, practices, or school projects.

When we got involved with Agel, one of the things that really appealed to me was the EXO product, because, much as Linda and I try, it's nearly impossible to make sure the kids receive all of their nutritional needs. No, we're not a Fast Food Family. Linda is a great cook, who does her best to make sure the kids get plenty of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Tyler, in particular, has never been much of a fruit guy...to me, that's perplexing.

I mean, he'll drink apple and orange juice and absolutely loves "fruit-flavored" treats, things like "Fruit Snacks," which you and I know is just designer candy...but he has a tough time when we ask him to eat an apple, a banana, an orange. He'll look at it like it's poison.

Enter Agel EXO. Tastes better than "Fruit Snacks" or even Gummy Bears (seriously, it's the sweetest berry taste imaginable), but packs the equivalent of five servings of fruits and vegetables. Add in that it's packaged in a very cool pouch and it's a home run for a kid like Ty.

He can take one in a lunch box to school, rip and sip one for "dessert," love the taste...and, best of all, be doing the right thing! This one is a no-brainer.

Read the facts on EXO.

Agel™ EXO — is a delicious blend of 15 different exotic fruits,Whole-fruit purees and extracts are loaded with antioxidants. Each of these fruits have long been associated with health and longevity. You won't find a blend of fruits as beneficial and far reaching as this. These are fruits from all over the world and each of them are respected for their health giving and medicinal properties. Through Suspension Gel Technology , our daily nutrients are convenient to take anywhere.

Scientific literature suggests that a having variety of antioxidants is much better than taking high doses of just one or two different antioxidants. This unique formulation consists Agel EXO is a highly concentrated gel made up of 14 antioxidant-rich fruits and plants, therefore the efficiency and health benefits of these important compounds are greatly enhanced and the efficacy, bioavailability, and absorption of these essential compounds is assured.

Most all of the fruits used are not just the juice, but the whole fruit. This provides you with maximum nutrition as well as lowers the glycemic index. These exotic fruits include: Acai, Acerola, Aloe Vera, Ashwaganda, Bilberry, Blueberry, Camu camu, Cashew Fruit, Cranberry, Dark Grape, Noni, Para Guava, Pomegranate, Rooibos, and Wolfberry.

Agel OHM and Golf

There is nothing worse than walking onto the golf course feeling lethargic and unfocused (not enough sleep). The only thing that comes close to feeling that bad is being tense and jittery (too much coffee).

Before my most recent rounds, I've taken a pouch of Agel OHM on to the course, knocked it back before heading to the first tee and felt a big difference in my energy and focus.

Agel OHM is a potent blend of vitamins, minerals, and herbs. It’s packed with coenzymes that smooth the way for the breakdown of carbohydrates into immediate energy. Agel OHM’s Panax Ginseng helps increase your resistance against stressful influences and it may help to enhance your body’s performance and mental focus.

If you are an athlete, you've got to try this stuff. Stop taking the stuff that's loaded with caffeine and try OHM.

Why Agel?

This is me and my wife.

Neither of us can tell a lie. That's probably why neither of us has ever made a living in sales. I know that sounds harsh, but throughout the better part of my life, I've always felt that the only way people get ahead in this world as sales people is with deceit and deception. Lies. It's almost like it is an accepted part of the art form of selling for a living. "Whatever it takes."

Well, the two of us cannot live that way.

So, when we began our search for something we could do to try and create some residual income, we simply could not attach ourselves to something we did not believe in.

That's when I came upon Agel. It was almost like it fell into my lap(top) from heaven.

You see, Linda and I are both health fanatics. She is a six-day-a-week workout nut. I'm a five-time marathoner, working on six, who feels a day is incomplete without a run.

Both of us have a long history with vitamins. My personal story is that I was never much into nutritional supplements until before I ran the 2005 Boston Marathon. With the guidance of a sports nutrionist, I got on a program of supplementation that enabled me to bounce back from long runs, stay healthy throughout my 18 weeks of training and, this is the big thing, feel almost perfect three days after running Boston in a time of 3 hours, 28 minutes, a personal-best time for me (beating my previous best by some seven minutes!) at the age of 41.

What drew me to Agel is that I never much liked coming home from a long training run and having to down a handful of pills, or slug back a nasty protein shake. For me, with Agel, it was love at first taste. Honestly, the stuff is so delicious, you look forward to your next hit.

As they say, "Rip it and sip it." It's that simple.

This is a revolutionary product...one that I'm confident is going to be HUGE.

If you're looking to work with an honest team in an honest business you can feel good about, please consider joining our team. Our strategy is to buy the product, use the product and do our best to spread the word about Agel. As a team, we're going to gel.

Agel, Ethical from the Get-Go

Hey, I'm a beginner at this, but the greatest thing about my Agel experience so far has been the great people I've come into contact with. From my sponsor, Marc Cram -- whose website I found because of my interest in the Infinite Banking System and the practices I learned from the book Missed Fortune 101 -- to the Customer Service Reps who have answered my questions, dealt with my mistakes and never, ever lost patience with me.

There have even been times when I've thought, "I can't do this" and asked about exercising my 30-day money back guarantee. Much to my surprsie, and delight, no one in my upline or with Agel tried to talk me out of it. They simply answered my questions and said, "If you need to know more, get back to us."

Look, my motivation in this program is two-fold. First of all, there are these guys in the photo.















I owe it to my family to do everything I can to give them the lives they deserve. If it means trying a home-based business (while I continue in a full-time career I absolutely love!), then so be it. But I'm not a guy who can just work for a company I do not believe in. So far, from what I've seen from Agel, from their great-tasting product-line to the support team, I've made the right choice. I am so excited to add leaders to my team.

I was telling my friend Marc today that I have not sold anything since I closed down my homemade popsicle business in 1974. That's the truth. I'm not a salesman.

I'm just hoping that by spreading the word about Agel, I can help people help people.

Starting a New Life with Agel

Who Am I?

I’m just an average dude (that's me there) who spent too many sleepless nights wondering how I’d be able to provide for my wife and kids the way I wanted to provide for them, and the way they deserved to be provided for. Does that hit home with any of you?

During one of my many business trips, this one in Tucson, Arizona, in the wee hours, I laid there with my laptop in my bed, Googling away, looking for some way I could help put some more money into our bank account. I just wanted a little peace of mind.

Then, in the midst of a search into a Life Insurance Strategy called "Infinite Banking," I came upon an e-book on how to create an extra income. That book is now available for free if you click on this link:


Escape From the Rat Race

After reading the book, I figured I had to give this home-based business a shot. I wanted the prospect of paying for college for my two sons, Tyler and Beau (pictured with Remy below), to seem a little-less intimidating.


I wanted to bring in that residual income in such a way that my wife, Linda (that's her below in the hot pink!), could continue to stay at home and raise the boys the way I believe they should be raised, with a mom who’s always there for them, day and night. I also wanted Linda to be able to do the things she loves to do, in addition to raising the kids (not to mention taking care of me!). Things like her volunteer work in the school system, and participating in events like the 39-mile Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, which she did last year in New York City, raising a bunch of money in the process.

And, ultimately, I wanted to begin to methodically navigate my way toward retirement, so I could enjoy things like golf with my sons, trips to see our beloved Red Sox at Fenway Park and, down the road, lots of time with grandchildren.



Most important, however, was that I find a way to make that residual income that I could feel good about, with a company that was looking to help others.

If any of this hits home with you, let me know, and maybe you can be a part of my team.

I encourage you to do your homework, read up on Agel, the products and the business opportunity that's available.

You should find everything you on this Free Agel Tour.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Jeff
