Good luck day in and day out and please feel free to continue to ask for support in your business... you have a great team of women to support you in your greatness! Winston Churchill said it best... never, never, never give up. Good advice- for life in general.
You WILL live the life of your dreams, it has to happen. The route may change from pavement to dirt, get bumpy, have turns, and forks in the road- but if you enjoy it along the way... does it matter? FIND JOY IN YOUR JOURNEY NOW! Thats what life is all about!
1 more quote: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass- it's about learning to dance in the rain!
Take heart that everything happens for a reason- and what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Enjoy the day!

Dosha Characteristics Handout
Dosha Characteristics
· Vata
In Balance: are dynamic, experience life below the surface and have the natural ability to inspire others. They make good teachers, artists, musicians, consultants, healing arts practitioners, philosophers, foreign ministers, religious ministers, or any profession requiring creativity and communication skills.
Out of balance: overly active thinkers, restless, can’t sit still, inclined towards fear, anxiety, depression, earn easily, spend impulsively, “spacey”, ungrounded, emotionally delicate, think skinned, quick to judge, shy and introverted, disorganized, lack confidence, moody, talk, interrupt or zone out in conversation, impatient
· Pitta
In Balance: Blessed with a joyful disposition, a sharp intellect and tremendous courage and drive. Funny, natural leaders, sharp memory, perform well under pressure, organized, focused. They make good business people, lawyers, professors, doctors, engineers, architects, scientists, politicians and designers.
Out of balance: overly intense, manipulative, stubborn, arrogant, jealous, materialistic, loud and aggressive, controlling of others, overly competitive, critical and judgmental, suppressive of emotion. It is said that imbalanced Pitta individuals don’t go to hell; they simply create it wherever they go!
· Kapha
In Balance: warm, loving, gentle and a good place to go for a big hug. Mentally and emotionally healthy and have a deep satisfaction for life. They make good parents, teachers, chefs, healing arts practitioners, construction workers, task force organizers and community leaders.
Out of balance: greedy, set in their ways, unable to say “no”, easily attached to people, easily taken advantage of, possessive, take on other people’s problems, fearful of letting go, overly passive, lethargic, give up easily, introverted, complacent, depressed
Understanding the doshas:
Like increases Like, Opposite creates Balance. Key lies in choosing foods with opposite characteristics to the dosha you are trying to pacify! As you tune into your underlying constitution, you’ll notice that you’ll naturally desire dosha balancing foods… this type of intuitive self guidance is your greatest nutritional guidemap of all!

Basically-
Vata is dry... so anything dry increases Vata and imbalances you... the opposite is salty- (because it RETAINS moisture...so salty is most balancing taste for VATA)
Pitta is Firey and HOT- so anything hot or spicy increases Pitta, and imbalances... the opposite (and therefore most balancing) for pitta is bitter (because it is cooling also)
Kapha is Sweet and Moist- so anything sweet and moist increases Kapha and imbalances them... so the opposite, and balancing taste for Kapha is Pungent (which is invigorating to Kaphas)
Do you want to know the early symptoms of an imbalanced dosha?
Vata- earliest sign is anxiety or confussion, constipation or gas
Pitta- Irritability, alternating dry and loose stools, pressure or heat above the neck
Kapha- sluggishness, congestion, bloating
Ways Vata becomes imbalanced- eating vata aggravating foods, eating while anxious or depressed, eating on the run, drinking alcohol, coffee or tea, smoking, following irregular routine, going to bed late at night, traveling frequently, excessive stimulation, suppressing inner creativity
Ways to balance Vata- think NOURISHING, WARMING, ROUTINE… eat vata balancing diet (favor sweet, sour, salty), eat in peaceful environment, spend time in nature, follow a regular routine, go to bed early, gentle physical exercise (yoga, swimming), incorporate bright warming colors into surroundings (orange and green), listen to calming music, laugh and smile more, take a nap, spend time engaging with grounded people (balanced pittas and kaphas)
Ways Pitta becomes imbalanced- eating pitta aggravating foods, eating while angry, drinking coffee, tea, or alcohol, smoking, overworking, being overly compulsive, allowing oneself to overheat in physical and mental activity, failing to make changes in accordance with season (especially summer), surrounding one’s self with loud, aggressive sensory input (like violence on TV).
Ways to balance Pitta- think COOLING, CALMING, MODERATION… eat pitta balancing diet (favor sweet, bitter, astringent), eat in peaceful environment, avoid artificial stimulants, engage in calming activities- like spending time in nature, calming physical exercise (yoga, swimming), incorporate cooling colors into surroundings (blue, white and green), listen to calming music, laugh and smile more, take a nap, do volunteer work, take cool showers, get in touch with emotions (through introspective journaling).
Ways Kapha becomes imbalanced- eating kapha aggravating foods, overeating, eating to offset emotions, spending too much time in cool, damp climates, not engaging in physical activity, spending most of one’s time indoors(especially on the couch watching TV), avoiding intellectual challenges, storing emotion, focusing too much on money or material goods, failing to make seasonal changes (especially winter and spring)
Ways to balance Kapha- think DRYING, STIMULATING, EXPRESSION… eat kapha balancing diet (favor bitter, pungent, astringent), eat in loving environment, avoid a luxurious, leisurely lifestyle, focus on non-attachment in daily life, do emotional housekeeping regularly, make time for introspective activities like meditation and writing), make a distinction between being nice and being taken advantage of, go to bed early, with no daytime naps, stimulating physical exercise (running, hiking), incorporate bright vivid colors into surroundings (red, orange, gold and purple), listen to enlivening music, observe the seasons (especially spring and winter), vary one’s daily routine, spend time engaging with interesting and motivated people (balanced pittas and vatas).

Week 9 Three way calls... as the Presenter
3 way calls: As Presenter
KISS… there is power in simplicity!!!
(Don’t say hello til call is turned over…)
“Thanks ___h____. That was a nice thing to say,
(I do love what I do, and the best part is it is part time… and I can make these calls from a park or the beach…)
Hello _____g_____ it’s nice to talk to you today.
Listen first off I want to thank you for your time, and I want you to know that we won’t take more than 15 minutes today- I know we are all busy, and so I will be respectful of that and keep an eye on the clock if that’s ok with you? “
LIGHT AND FUN!!! Complimentary… Friendly! MAKE A CONNECTION
Tell guest why you like the HOSTESS or how you have a relationship with her… say something nice about her!
“I like ___h_ because ______________.”
If after the intro you don’t know enough about them… do FOR, if you know FOR- then skip to questions
Family- Tell me about you- do you have kids?
Occupation- What do you do for a living? Really, do you like it?
Tell me about you, what are your long or short term goals?
Recreation- Tell me what do you guys like to do for fun?
Ok- so to begin let me ask you: (PICK ONE QUESTION)
- How do you know ___h____ again?
- What did ___h___ say to get you on the phone with me today?
- What have you heard about our company? What have you heard already?
- What are you most interested in, better health or a new business opportunity?
- Have you ever thought about owning a home based business?
- What do you think of network marketing?
We have 4 quick things I know___h___will want me to SHARE with you today- both our phenomenal product, and also a potentially amazing business opportunity … if you are interested. - Timing
- Product
- Endorsement
- Bill Farley
Product- Ok so let me ask you…Have you tasted our product? Well- I know we need to get some in your hands so you can taste it… it is amazing!
You may have some more questions about the product… I know I did, but we have some resources I will have ______h_______ leave with you and I think it will answer most of them!
Endorsement- Have you ever heard of Dr. Deepak Chopra?
Well I hadn’t either, but I realized I was one of the few that hadn’t because:He is rated by Forbes magazine as the 82nd most influential person in history!
What I like about that is that he’s a KNOWN Dr., and I was able to trust very early on that if he was willing to put his credibility behind this product, that I could be sure it was going to have some serious health benefits! And it absolutely has, just as he knew it would!
Is that pretty cool to have such a powerful endorsement? Yeah- it makes my job so much easier!
Bill Farley- Have you ever heard of Bill Farley? I hadn’t either…Bill is a branding Genius and what I have found is that people are more familiar with his brands than they realize… at least I was… Have you ever heard of:
Jordache Jeans
Gitano Jeans
Acme Boots
BVD Underwear
The Chicago White Sox
Fruit of the Loom?
Well those are all of Bill’s companies.And I share that with you just so you can start to recognize the power of the business backing we have here. Because Bill is the CEO of Zrii.
Timing- Are you familiar with how important timing is to an industry? Think of the real estate boom… when is the best time to buy, before or after the boom? Obviously before- well that’s where we are sitting with Zrii.
We are a 13 month old health and wellness company
· In our 1st year we have broken every single record set in the 60 year history of this industry… and things are not slowing down this year… in fact typically times of economic downturn have historically produced some extremely successful companies because people are open to earning additional income.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE TO YOU?
*Optional*
Our Industry- Have you ever heard of the famous economist Paul Zane Pilzer?
· He was the economic advisor to 3 different presidents of the US… he wrote a book called the WELLNESS REVOLUTION… he says that in the next 10 years that 10 million new millionaire will be created in the areas of health and wellness, and a majority will come from network marketing…
· He predicted that the 78 million baby boomers are looking for
o weight loss
o Anti-Aging
· Our product falls within both guidelines
· Basically look at Zrii this way- treat it like you saw a great movie… you drink it, find it beneficial, recognize it is working, share it with others and recommend they try it, tell them your experience and the company sends you a check for doing the word of mouth advertising.
· We have a consumable product so that brings re-orders, so you don’t have to go sell Zrii every month, in fact we are not looking for people to SELL Zrii… we are looking for people who want to consume…
· If you don’t like to help others you won’t do well…
· It is fair because you decide how much or how little you want to make… according to your own efforts
TIME:______Ok- so I am looking at the clock… and I want to keep this simple because it’s important for me to have you see how simple this is… and we have just about 3 more minutes- so real quick just to recap…we discussed…
· We are a 13 month old health and wellness company
· The opportunity to get involved on the ground floor of any company doesn’t come along very often and right now there are less than 70,000 people worldwide drinking it month after month, so your timing could never be better
· We have the company stability from a man who creates household names like Fruit of the Loom and he will brand one last company… Zrii.
· We have a HUGE Endorsement from a world-renowned Dr. and also
· Our company is committed to the quality of the product and also the scientific documentation to back it up- so they have committed to have Zrii be the most scientifically backed product in the world!
Let me just tell you in closing we have a very lucrative, fair pay plan- we earn our money 7 different ways, plus we have a BMW reimbursement plan,
Can you picture _h_ driving around in her new BMW?
and 2 incentive trips a year… so if you like to travel- there are ways to earn free trips! We have a lot of fun doing what we do, we all have busy lives so we do this part time… we have girl’s nights, and are learning easy ways to keep our families healthy…
Let me ask you _g_ have we shared anything today that peaked your interest?
(No)- Ok, well thanks for being honest, thanks for your time and let me just end with one thought… if anything ever changes for you- we are both willing to support you and I’d love to chat again if that’s something you are open to! Thanks! Bye!
(No- just don’t have the time)- I completely understand… I didn't think I has any spare time either... but if we get a chance to meet I can show you how literally a 5-6 hour time commitment per week can be enough to build this business… do you think you could find an hour a day or a few hrs. on the weekend to bring in some supplemental income?
No- thanks for your time
Yes- when can we meet for 15 minutes? Today or tomorrow?
(Yes)- Ok- then what we need to do is set aside about 15 minutes sometime soon to either meet in person, or on the phone again to show you how we get paid and answer any questions you might have… what’s better for you, today or tomorrow?
Ok- it’s easiest to see it live and in person, do you have any time we could meet so we could bring you a sample, and some literature- and share the #’s with you?
GREAT!
