• The New Wellness Revolution by Paul Zane Pilzer

    No comments

    This updated look at the up and coming trillion dollar wellness industry expounds upon the original Wellness Revolution by Paul Zane Pilzer. This industry has already grown to over $500 billion and it is still in its infancy. The book lays a foundation covering our current health crises in America and explains the need for changing the paradigm of the sickness industry to a focus on wellness.

    From a discussion on the misconceptions about the food we buy and eat, to the dangerous pharmaceutical industry and the maintenance drugs that they sell us, and the need for extensive reform of health insurance, Paul dissects the sickness industry and calls out the perpetrators who continue to profit on our sickness. Mr. Pilzer then explains several major business opportunities found in changing this industry by helping others through wellness programs, including a major focus on the direct sales industry and its roots in wellness products.

    I highly encourage everyone to explore the opportunities found within the pages of this great book. The health research alone provides great advice and certainly some eye-opening statements that will make you rethink your own health and nutrition.

    What you will find inside:

    • The need for wellness and the baby boom generation
    • Nutrition and problems with food and diet
    • Making a fortune in food
    • Making a fortune in medicine
    • Important health insurance problems and solutions
    • Financing your wellness through new health insurance solutions
    • Making a fortune distributing wellness
    • The roots of wellness products and distribution through direct selling
    • Tips for the staking your claim in this upcoming revolution

  • Review of Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver – Michael Maloney

    No comments

    I recently finished reading Mike Maloney’s “Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver”. Since 2005 Michael Maloney has been Robert Kiyosaki’s advisor on investing in precious metals. Mike is not only a very smart person; he is a smart person who understands what is shaping our economy and really cares about how it will affect the middle class. His passion and concern for the average American comes through loud and clear. Reading this book has been a life changing experience.

    In this book Mike outlines the history of money, currency and the boom and bust cycles which all currencies go through. He starts with the first currency crash which occurred way back in ancient Greece in the year 680 B.C. From there he gives several historical examples which all prove the same thing, currencies are not real money and they are often used by governments to exploit the value of their citizens’ hard labor. Throughout the ages many things have been used as currency including livestock, spices, grain and paper, but only two things have always been real money, gold and silver.

    Mike Maloney gives the uninitiated a useful education in the history of economic cycles, how the U.S. government is diluting our money supply and devaluing our currency for it’s own benefit and why precious metals are one of the most profitable, easy and safe investments you can make right now. To my surprise I found that although everything Mike says is supported with facts, figures, charts and graphs, the book reads like a mystery novel and I just wanted to keep turning the pages.

    The impact of this book lies in its simple yet detailed explanations of how to understand the true value of the Dow when compared to commodities, real estate and precious metals, how to tell where we are in the boom and bust cycles of each and more importantly how you can easily profit from that knowledge.

    In times of financial upheaval wealth does not disappear; it just transfers from one group to another. In previous cycles the big players, the banks and the ultra wealthy have benefited. In this economic cycle, wealth will be transferred from the uneducated to the well informed. Right now you can choose to inform yourself and move to the receiving side of the greatest wealth transfer in the history of mankind.

    This book contains the kind of financial knowledge that is not taught in our schools. If you fail to educate yourself, what you don’t know will hurt you. This book can make a real difference in your future.

    I have been fortunate enough to associate myself with a group of well educated investors who have opened my eyes to the possibilities of making good profits during times of financial difficulty. It was my privilege to personally meet Michael Maloney, Peter Schiff, G. Edward Griffin and Marc Bruner at the last conference our investors group held.

    I would encourage you to do everything within your power to also associate yourself with a group of knowledgeable investors who are willing to share their experience with you. It is a true statement that wealth rubs off. Spend your time with people who have what you want. Read books like this one that are written by the people who are doing what you want to do.

  • A Review of Women Don’t Ask – A Look at the Childhood Phenomenon

    No comments

    Women have been guided by a society where they have been accustomed to wait for opportunities such as salary raises or more flexible hours. In contrast, men have generally lived in a non-restrictive world, where it can be argued that more is available to them. This causes them to feel more confident about asking for raises or negotiating flexible hours and doing it with a higher ‘target’ in mind than women. Women Don’t Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide introduces the societal barriers surrounding femininity that have caused a difference in the expectations between men and women. In this article, I will discuss one of the main arguments discussed in this book, one in which I feel that I can relate with and wish to make others aware of its possible effects.

    A major theme of the book is that women were brought up differently than men, which leads to their apprehension and anxiety towards negotiating and asking for what they want. Babcock and Laschever argue that from the time that they are playing with their first toys, boys and girls are taught how to behave and conform to the ideology of their sex. Young girls are instilled with these ‘home-maker values’ by being given toys such as dolls, kitchen equipment, and tea sets, whereas boys are given ‘career-oriented’ toys like fire trucks, G.I. Joes, and tractors. In effect, boys are taught to be assertive, decisive, ambitious, and dominant, while girls are taught to be nurturing, emotional, warm, and friendly. These personality traits that women have become accustomed to causes them to be less demanding than men when it comes to asking for what they want. Men are comfortable with being the ‘risk-takers’ while women posses more of a satisfied-with-what-you-get approach.

    A related topic is that women are expected to be ‘nice,’ and that violating this gender role could be detrimental for women in the workplace. Unlike men, who are supposed to be tough-skinned and confident, women who are assertive and are highly confident are seen as cruel and hard to follow. This translates in the workplace for these female personality types in that men generally dislike hiring or working with women who feel ’superior’; it is against their gender role. This male attitude can lead women to fear confidence and thus asking or negotiating because they are quite aware that it can be unflattering and unlikable.

    I agree with the latter in that girls are brought up differently than boys which leads to their low self-esteem and avoidance of asking for what they want or negotiating towards their goals. Babcock and Laschever argue the idea that because boys and girls are raised differently starting at a very young age, how they have come to think of themselves is a direct result. Growing up, I remember loving my life-sized kitchen set. The main features were a stove, cabinets to store the fake food, a telephone, and lower cabinets for pots and pans. My entire ‘play’ was centered on providing for my ‘house’ (for what girls’ play was notoriously known as). In relation to the ‘nice’ factor, I thought about grade school and how it was mostly the boys who would get in trouble and speak out their opinions more frequently than the girls. Generally, we were supposed to be the quiet and shy ones of the classroom, adhering to all the rules. And we were praised for this.

    In economic terms, the above issues can account for gender segregation in the labor force with predominantly male careers needing skills like ‘athleticism’ (construction workers), and careers highly obtained by women needing ’supportive’ and ‘nurturing’ skills (primary educators).

    Women Don’t Ask is an important outlook into the phenomenon of the general inferiority of women to men historically, which also explains gender segregation in the work place and the gender gap. While things like the segregation index are improving, I feel it vital to know the possible obstacles women may face in the workforce. Women Don’t Ask continues to provide advice for these obstacles and additional arguments surrounding the women’s negotiation skills.
