Could you live for 140 years?


Note to reader: ( ) are sidenotes from Tim and express his opinion.

Cambridge researcher Aubrey de Grey believes aging is a preventable phenomenon, much like a disease, stating that aging is merely a side effect of being alive.

Here he explains his belief that humans could live for centuries, if only we approach the aging process as “an engineering problem.” (replacing bad cells with good ones?)

He outlines the seven basic ways people age, and how to solve each one. And if we get to work now, he says, humans alive today could live to be 1,000.

According to de Grey, these “7 Deadly Things” are responsible for your physical aging, and are the basis of his “engineering approach” solutions:

Cell loss/atrophy
Death-resistant cells
Nuclear mutations and epimutation
smtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) mutations
Protein cross links
Junk inside cells
Junk outside cells
(Hummmm...I wonder what helps this?)

Essentially, de Grey’s hypothesis states that if you can keep these seven deadly cell-damaging processes below the threshold of pathology – the state where processes start to break cells down until your body dies from the cumulative damage – you will be able to extend your life indefinitely. (Hummmm...again!)

In other anti-aging news, published in Best Life magazine, two preeminent aging experts have placed a bet on whether or not someone living today will be alive in 2150.

Steven Austad, biologist and professor of cellular and structural biology at the Sam and Ann Barshop Institute for Longevity and Aging Studies, believes someone alive today will still be alive in 2150. For the past 20 years, Austad has researched the fundamentals of aging, and has been able to drastically extend the lifespan of various animals by tinkering with their genes, or restricting their calorie intake. ( I don't think that this matters..as long as you are consuming the right things. ORGANIC veggies, fruits and nuts. Grass fed beef, free range chicken, cage free eggs, a good whey protien :). Stay away from sugar and starches, increase your intake of protien from the good sources listed here and increase your muscle mass..get off of the couch...WORKOUT!)

Jay Olshansky, on the other hand, believes there are too many hurdles to be overcome, suspecting any benefit derived from anti-aging drugs will probably be wiped out by rising threats to public health, such as obesity and diabetes. (Keep your weight in check, watch your sugar and homocysteine) In fact, the demographic models Olshansky and his colleagues have built project that obesity alone will cut the life expectancy of Americans by two to five years within the next 50 years.

Both experts agree, however, that science is making radical advances. Scientists now have a much more detailed understanding of how shutting down certain genes and restricting calories slow your aging process.
The shared factor between all long-lived animals is their superior capability to repair their DNA. (Watch for good things here!!!)

Edward Masoro, at the University of Texas, pioneered research in the 1990’s, showing that a low-calorie diet switches on a key gene called SIRT1 that controls a network of other genes, which in turn create proteins that protect cells from damage. The idea proposed by more than a dozen pharmaceutical companies working on anti-aging drugs, is that you may one day be able to simply take a pill that switches on SIRT1 in your cells. (Once again, a pill that cures everything and lines their pockets with money!)

One such molecule is resveratrol, produced by grapes and other plants. Sirtis Pharmaceuticals, Elixir Pharmaceutical, and about a dozen others are pursuing these kinds of molecular-based anti-aging drugs. (Or, instead of once again giving your money to the pharmaceutical companies, you could take a supplement that has this and drink some good red wine!)

The current old-age record holder is Jeanne Calment, a Frenchwoman who died in 1997 at the age of 122, after smoking for nearly 100 years.

Folks, we are on the cusp of the biggest thing since Microsoft. Get a big group fast. Then buckle your seat belts! www.timstephensonline.com

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – On October 20, 2006, Eniva Corporation was officially awarded the 12th ranked position among the 2006 Fastest-growing Private Companies in Minnesota's 11-county metro area, as reported by the Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal.

A Growing Business In....Vitamins

Two brothers have grown their liquid-vitamin business from an office in the back of an exercise-equipment outlet store to a 250,000-square-foot campus in Anoka.Identical twins Andrew and Benjamin Baechler, 30, own Eniva Corp., which makes products such as salad oils, cleaning products, athletic waters and dietary supplements.

Selling goods through almost 400,000 home-based distributors -- "just like Mary Kay or Avon, but much cooler," Andrew said -- the company has grown in 10 years to almost $70 million in revenue in 2006.

Rollin’ Through The Numbers

There are not any secrets in Network Marketing; you must roll through the numbers to find your leaders.

Some years ago, 20/20 did a feature story on Amway. They spent 19 minutes interviewing whiners and complainers, several distributors who had failed and showed garages full of products they couldn’t sell.

During the last minutes of the show, Bill Britt was interviewed in front of his palatial home. He was asked, “Mr. Britt, this business has obviously worked for you. What is your secret?”

He replied, “There is no secret. I simply showed the plan to 1200 people, 900 said ‘No’ and only 300 signed up. Out of those 300, only 85 did anything at all-out of those 85, only 35 were serious and out of those 35, 11 made me a millionaire.”

Jason Boreyko, now president of New Vision, told this story recently. When he was a distributor with Matol Botanical International, he signed up 50 people. He heard a lot of no’s on the way to those 50. Jason took one man he knew would be terrific in the business to lunch, told him about the business and the man said “no”. Jason took the man to lunch again the next month and told him the updates. Once again the man said “no”. That went on for 6 months. The 7th month something changed for the man and he said “Yes”. That man has made Jason over one million dollars. Jason worked through his numbers.

According to Richard Poe and “Wave Three”, while starting Amway, Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel, America’s eleventh richest people, recruited 500 people, 495 dropped out. The five that didn’t quit built Amway. All 7 Billion of Amway’s business was built under those 5 people. Jay and Rich had to work through their numbers.

Here is the lesson: Your success is directly related to the degree to which you are willing to work to find others like yourself who are committed to success. Bill Britt’s numbers were 11 out of 1200. Jason Boreyko’s odds were 1 out of 50.

Would you be willing to go through 200 people to find the one who would make you $50,000 a month? Or go through 200 people to make you a millionaire? Or hear uncounted “No’s” to sign up 50 people to find a million dollar person? I hope you will.

It’s easier when you know the odds up front. But here is the catch. You have your own set of odds and won’t know what they are until AFTER YOU’VE SUCCEEDED. So if you have gone through 10, 50 or 100 people and have not found one serious person yet, you can either give up and assume the business doesn’t work, or recognize that you are WORKING THROUGH YOUR NUMBERS. What will your odds be?

What To Look For In A Home Business

There are many reasons a person looks to start a home based business.

Foremost, you want the business to be ethical and honest.

For several years multilevel marketing opportunities were shied away from due to their connection to pyramid schemes. True, a few people made a ton of money on these schemes, but for every person who got rich from them, there were several who lost money. Despite the fact that a tangible product or viable service plays a major role in ethical multilevel marketing businesses, the similarities keep people from venturing into this type of commerce.

If you are one of those who do not believe a home business can make you money without taking it from someone else, consider the beginnings of multilevel marketing.

In the past many large companies such as Avon, Amway, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Tupperware and Fuller Brush used door to door selling and multilevel marketing to put their products in the homes of very happy customers while at the same time allowing ordinary people to earn an astonishing income.

The distributors were able to earn as much money as they wanted and were encouraged to bring in additional people from whom they earned a small commission. This practice was acceptable since there was a tangible product changing hands and many people became very successful. The company saw its sales increase, and distributors made money.

There is no difference between today’s MLM programs and the door-to-door sales opportunities that worked for so many in the past, other than a reputation tainted by unscrupulous vendors.

For 20 years I have worked in the pool and spa business. Just like any business, there are good operators and really bad ones. Home based business is no different than any other business. Companies go out of business, people at the top steal and leave, etc.

The point is, look at the individual company, not at the industry as a whole.

This is why when you search for a home business you must carefully research the company you are considering to make sure the business is viable and product or service being offered is needed by consumers.

The first place you should look: The owners of the company. Who are they? What have they done in the past? Do they manufacture their own products? How many companies have they been involved with? What happened with those companies?

Once you find the opportunity that feels right to you, you can expend the necessary energy to make your distributorship work for you…not only in sales increases, but also bringing in new distributors to increase your income from commissions on their sales as well.

Eniva the greatest single opportunity

Eniva: The Greatest Single Opportunity To:
Attain Financial Independence.
Work from Home.
Realize All of Your Dreams!!

Hello There!

My name is Tim Stephens and I realize that the Internet is littered with sites that promise the moon but only end up costing you valuable time and money. I hate it when people waste my time with half-baked ideas and business models that either don't work or fail to live up to expectations. But if you give me just five minutes of your time, I guarantee that I can show you a clear path to becoming your own boss, generating a growing residual income, and finally attaining financial independence using the power of Network marketing…

Network Marketing? Isn't That Just Another Name for Multi-Level Marketing?

Yes it is! I know that MLM has received a bad reputation in the past because people had to invest a lot of "face time" without really seeing any big return on that investment. Plus, it can be intimidating talking with people and trying to convince them to invest in your business model which is why most of us stay clear of anything related to MLM, or Network marketing…
But the Internet Has Changed Everything…

Today you don't need to "pound the pavement" or recruit all of your friends and family in order to be successful using Network Marketing. In fact, you really only need three things in order to create a growing residual income using Network Marketing:

A product or service that people REALLY want or need.
An Effective Business Model.
The right training.

Look, if you are trying to sell junk that people don't want or need, I don't care what business model you use—people won't buy it! But the right product, at the right time, will virtually sell itself and your residual income from Network Marketing will continue to soar…

Vibe® is an All-in-One liquid nutritional supplement from Eniva, the world leader in liquid nutritional supplements. This sensational product actually delivers 11,000 mg of nutrients in just one ounce! Plus, Vibe® is a rich source of anti-oxidants which have been proven to neutralize free radicals. Free radicals have been proven to lower overall health and lead to a number of medical problems, including: reduced vision; increased odds of developing cardiovascular disease; increased signs of aging; and increased odds of stroke. Eniva's Vibe® delivers the nutrients you need to make it through the day! Frankly, it is the right product, in the right field, at the right time…

The Health and Wellness Field Is the Largest and Most Profitable on the Entire Internet…
And this makes perfect sense because who doesn't want to look, feel, and live better? Unfortunately, while we all want to live healthier and eat the best foods, the simple facts are that we just don't have the time. Hectic schedules, longer hours at work, and the desire to live healthier have all combined to make nutritional supplements one of the fastest growing niches in the entire health and wellness field!
Eniva's Vibe® is the perfect solution….

But You Need The Right Business Model and Network Marketing is That Model !
When you truly have a product that everyone wants, Network Marketing is the most effective way to distribute that product. The Internet allows you to market to a global audience which means your potential income is UNLIMITED! Here are the most compelling reasons why this business model is ideal for anyone looking to pay off debt, spend more time with their family, and work from home while building an increasing residual income:

Low Initial Investment.
Minimal Effort With Maximum Potential For Profit.
Unlimited Market.
Most Effective Means of Marketing Any Product That People Truly Want or Need.

So Eniva's Vibe® is the right product at the right time in the largest and most profitable field on the entire Internet. Network Marketing is the best business model to effectively sell this amazing new liquid supplement. So what is preventing you from seizing this incredible opportunity and living the life you have always dreamed?
Training.

The reason why most Internet businesses fail is because there is no formal training. Network Marketing may not be rocket science but you still need to know precisely how it works so that you can effectively promote and sell your product. The process can seem overwhelming and most of us simply don't know where to start…

I am just going to be brutally honest—if you don't make any money, then I don't either! It is in my best interest to make sure that you succeed, period. I have a proven and successful business model in place and am already generating big profits but I can't grow my company without help from motivated people like you. I know you want to quit your job and start working from home so that you can spend more time with your family and make your own schedule—hey, we all do! But I also know that you can not do that unless you are making the money, right? And that is why TEAM KING created this training course—so that We can help you and you can help me so that everyone wins…big!!

I Know What You Are Thinking: This is the Part Where I Ask For Money, Right?

Like I said earlier, I know that the Internet is littered with sites that promise the moon but only end up costing you money and time. I hate those sites and I am sure you do too so I am not asking for a single dime. All I want is your name and contact information so I can send you more details about Eniva and Vibe® and tell you precisely how to use Network Marketing to realize your dreams. So raise your hand and send me an email and we can talk! tim@timstephensonline.com

Come On, What's the Catch??

Sorry, no gimmicks here. This is the right product, at the right time, in the most profitable niche on the Internet and Network Marketing is the best business model for you to cash in on this incredible opportunity—period! But like any great opportunity, you only have so long to jump aboard before it passes you by. Isn't it time to stop daydreaming about the life you always wanted and to actually start living it?! By going to the site and opting in at the bottom of the first page, you can take the first, critical step towards your dreams while learning more about how Eniva's Vibe® and Network Marketing can transform your life forever!
