OGI is taking the market by STORM!

OGI has now provided access to a wonderful marketing system, unique and specific to the OGI business. This week, OCEANSTORM was introduced. It combines an OGI lead capture page, along with autoresponders for business builders. There is a strong training section broken down into modules. What a great tool for building an OGI business!

The 15 Day Turnaround

OGI has created Oceanbreakers BURN. What a great product! However, there is no such thing as a magic weight loss pill. It still takes dicipline, healthy eating and moderate exercise to achieve weight loss. I think we all know this, but executing it can be tough. Ron Meiss, having created sucessful weight loss systems in the past, developed the 15 day turnaround to help people stay focused on their weight loss goals. He has set a simple, easy-to-follow plan.

The 15 day turnaround consists of a few basic ideas:

- A two-week program of heathy eating, with Oceanbreakers BURN in-between meals.

- Tracking everything you consume, and keeping a logbook.

- A personal coach who will help you stay focused on your goals and help assess your habits.

This combination is a powerful formula for weight loss. I haven't seen so much excitement from people who love what the OGILife represents.

Here are a few Testimonials:

I have lost 12 pounds since August 17, 2008. I lost 3 pounds the first week and 9 pounds the second week. ... if you follow the 15 day plan I think most people will find success. Additionally, I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables for snacks. My exercise has increased slightly; I either walk a mile or bike 3 miles at least times a week.

Gary

My friend Billy has lost 8.5 lbs. in 6 days and went from 8-10 mountain dews to no desire. He drinks about 3 17-20 oz. water per day.

Jeff

My father in law was in from California visiting. He has tried everything to lose weight in the past - No Carb, High Carb, Low Carb, etc..... After one week he has lost seven pounds with Burn. And my mother in law has lost five pounds in the first week. They bought four more cases from us to take back to California.

With each order of Oceanbreakers BURN, you get all the coaching, the support system, an easy-to-follow 20 page guide, a CD with Ron Meiss and your own website to log your weight, measurements, eating habits, etc.... Come join the OGI lifestyle, be healthy, be strong.

Ron Meiss - passionate about helping people

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to a wonderful leader in our business, welcome Ron Meiss. Ron claims he has retired, which is true, he may not have a "day job", but those of us within OGI know how much work he puts into our business.

Ron's passion for helping other people comes out right away. Having spent years as a instructor, author, coach, weight loss expert and motivational speaker, Ron brings tons of experience to our business. When he saw what Kerry Brown and Ocean Grown International was developing with Oceanbreakers Burn, he knew he had to be involved. He also knew one of the pitfalls for anyone losing weight is being able to "stick with it". "Captain" Ron has been key to developing my next topic, which is the 15 Day Turnaround program. Stay tuned.

What is the difference?

When I attempt to evaluate why two owners of a home-based business, in the same industry, one is highly successful, the other isn't, I ultimately ask myself this question, "Are some people really just not able to this?" (translation: "Can I really do this?). Let me respond now with an emphatic YES!

Despite the challenges that I face, I recognize that other people face the same challenges. I don't believe that someone else is inherently better than I am at running a business. Based on this evaluation, I have come to the conclusion that there are just a few different things that make the difference between a successful home-based business and a struggling home-based business.

Ok, so the first is experience. It seems obvious to me that someone with more experience in an industry would tend to do better, especially at the start, than somone brand new to the industry. Beyond industry experience, there is also life experiences, such as growing up in a family run pizza shop, or serving in the military, experiences outside the industry that are defining.

Secondly, training. Given the pizza shop example above, all experience can be considered training. Skills are learned, not something we are born with. I am speaking about industry specific training from someone from within the industry. This would be the equivalent of a formal college education in a specific field, i.e. nursing, accounting.

Finally, I would say discipline is a big difference between our two business owners. Doing the things that are tedious, or hard to do, knowing that in the future you will get results, can be hard for many people. Successful people in home-based business must be able to discipline themselves to focus on the task at hand, even with all the distractions that are around. This is hard for alot of people who are transitioning from a "job" to a home-based business.

If all thing are created equal, and the above is the difference, I can see some very important steps to take in developing a successful home-based business.

Michael Dell's Famous 3 C's speech

I found a copy of Michael Dell's famous 3 C's speech, Content, Commerce, Community. I was going to post the whole thing, but figured a link would just work better. Its five pages about the competative advantage using the internet.
