The Not So Friendly Skies!

Monday, July 11th, 2011

One night on a flight home from Chicago there was the most rowdy and obnoxious people sitting around me. The entire flight they were loud and vulgar, they had no pride about themselves. You could tell that from the way they dressed to how they spoke to each other and everyone else.

When we were deplaning, one of the passengers ask why they had been in Chicago and they replied they were guest on the Jerry Springer show. That explained a lot! I do not mean to put everyone into that same category, we do have many passengers that fly frequently that behave very well, but we have too many Springer passengers flying the not so friendly skies now a days.

I never thought I would feel so old fashion, but it just makes me a little disgusted when I see how some people choose to behave now a days. It does not matter how successful you are in life, you should still have a sense of pride about you.

The 80/20 Principle

Thursday, June 16th, 2011

Just had a great conversation with my good friend and business partner Rod about the 80/20 rule. In network marketing you have to keep that rule in mind, it is so true that only about 20 percent will ever take action. About 20 percent of the population controls 80 percent of the wealth, and the direction that our country in heading that ratio is rapidly changing into the 90/10 rule. The middle class is being wiped out, so the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. You need to decide now which side you want to be on. It is not hard to create wealth in your life, it just takes action and consistency.

Your J.O.B. ( just over broke ) will not save you, your government will not save you, your parents may or may not be in a position to help you. You need to take action for yourself, the wealthy build networks while the poor look for jobs. ( Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad ) In this day and time it is easier now than ever to be successful in network marketing. I use social media, Google and direct mail champaign’s to grow my business. You will not get rich over night, but if you do not quit you will be successful.

Also, it is important to align yourself with other like minded people. Do not let others discourage you from taking action to have a better quality of life. Always strive to be better, to do better. Another great read is the book “Good to Great,” there is a line in the book that states good is the enemy of great. That it is so true and keeps many people from achieving greatness in their life. Never settle for good enough, my first flight instructor taught me to strive for perfection even though he knew it was not possible. His logic was, as long as you strive for perfection and always try your best, if you fall short it will not be by much.

There are a lot of troubling things taking place in our country today, some think we will recover like we always have, many have a different opinion and for good reason. Be proactive in your life do not wait until you are nearing retirement only to learn you have not saved or invested enough money or your company pension just got cut in half or eliminated completely. The best income is residual income, that is why I love real estate and network marketing. Network marketing gives you the income without the risk. I tend to favor that a little more, but as usual it is always smart to be diversified.

Take action, stay consistent, educate yourself and associate with positive and motivated people.

To you health and wealth,

Health & Wellness Revolution!

Wednesday, April 27th, 2011

As an airline pilot health and wellness are very important to me and can determine whether I am able to fly or not. Without a medical certificate my pilot license is not valid. No matter what your job, it should be important to you as well. On my web site Health and Wealth for Pilots. I cover many of the basic health issues that are concerning to pilots.

We work in one of the most unhealthy environments, we are constantly exposed to germs from the recycled air that we breathe on the aircraft to radiation exposure at the higher attitudes. Our diets are horrible, we do not exercise as much as we should and our sleep cycles stay screwed up because of our crazy schedules.

You combine all of these things in addition to stress from the uncertainty that we face everyday with the companies that we work for, add a little stress on the home front from our spouses and kids and it is no wonder that most pilots do not live very long past their retirement date. That last study that I read years ago, the life expectancy of an airline pilot was 62 years old. I think that we are doing a little better today, but not by much.

Because of the landscape of our diets, generation Y may become the first generation not expected to live longer than their parents. With science and technology being what it is, how sad is it that we live in such an obese and unhealthy society? We have become so lazy in our lives that it just does not seem to matter to most people that they are unhealthy and are cutting their lives short by years. Then some want to smoke and drink in excess shaving even more time off.

It does not take much to turn things around and brake the cycle of bad habits. You have to have a desire to do so and then educate yourself a little bit on what you should and should not be consuming. Let’s face it as we grow older our metabolism slows down, we cannot continue to eat the way that we did in our twenties.

Also, the food that we are consuming today is not as healthy for us as it once was. To give your body what it needs to stay healthy today, you need to supplement. I have taken many supplements but none compare to the results that I have seen from Xyngular. Visit my site at www.healthandwealthforpilots.com to learn more about this health & wellness revolution.

The Need To Supplement & Exercise

Monday, April 25th, 2011

The body really starts to change once we enter our thirties and even more in our forties and fifties and we must change as well if we want to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It does cost a little more to eat healthy, supplements to your diet can be a little expensive, but you will either pay now or pay later, the choice is really yours to make.

Life is much more enjoyable when you are healthy! I have many friends that are over weight and they are always complaining about how tired they are and they never have the energy to keep up with their children. I believe that we must supplement our diet in order to give our bodies everything that it needs.

The body is very amazing, when it has what it needs it works well, when it does not get what it needs it begins to break down. When you have a poor diet and do not exercise you feel tired, get sick more often and most do not sleep well. If you continue to live this lifestyle, you will begin to age much faster and look older than you should.

Four people die every 18 minutes in this country due to their diet, that should
be shocking and unacceptable, but we have become so lazy and so involved with the advances in technology that it controls our life. Kids no longer play outside, they spend all of their time on their Weii or play station, they text an average of 3,000 text messages a month and the average family watches over eight hours of TV a day.

We need to wake up, we are obese and our children are obese. The cost of treating this disease has surpassed the cost of treating cancer as a result of smoking. It is time for a food revolution, it is time to better educate ourselves about what we are consuming.
Everyone in my family takes a quality supplement to stay healthy, it is almost impossible to consume the proper amount of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis that we need to stay healthy and can be very expensive as well.

The number of fruits and vegetables that we need to consume on a daily basis has changed throughout the years. For the longest time it was recommended that we have four to five servings a day, that number has increased to eight to nine servings today in order for your body to receive the proper nutrition and level of antioxidant protection. You can pay now or pay later, spending a few bucks a day to put something good in your body that will keep you healthy, help maintain your weight, fight off sickness and disease it well worth it!

Making A Choice For Success!

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

I was surprise to read yesterday that over 95 percent of people today that are trying to earn an income online fail. That is a staggering percentage, even a franchise or brick and mortar business has a better success rate. So why, with technology being what it is today and with the use of social media to communicate and spread the word about us and our opportunity, why do so many fail?

With so many people online trying to earn an income it makes for a difficult choice, There are so many options to choose from when searching out an opportunity to work from home or to earn income working online. There are many good choices out there, but probably equally as many bad to choose from.

That is the number one stumbling block for most, just making a choice and sticking with it. Some may have made a poor choice and lost some money and now are dead set against trying to make money online. It happens, it is part of the game. You cannot make it to the top without experiencing a few failures along the way

Once you have aligned yourself with a good opportunity and are working with a good team, like I have with Xyngular, then all you have to do is not quit. Learn how to work the business, use the system that your opportunity provides you and use your up line to help you grow your business. It will not happen overnight, but as long as you do your part and you do not quit, it will happen.

If you are still searching, visit www.xyngular.com/mikejonesnow to learn more about the health and wellness revolution that is taking place as we speak. I truly believe that Xyngular is going to be the Google of the industry, we are only one year old. How would you like to have be in a position to be a part of Google in the beginning?

It is happening right now, if you are interested in having a better quality of life physically and financially you need to check us out. Become a fan on my Face Book page at Xyngulardomination-mikejonesnow and learn more about this amazing company.

How Bad do You Want it!

Monday, April 11th, 2011

I was sent a powerful message Sunday by my good friend and business partner Rod. It was just 5:00 minutes in length and I had heard a similar version of the story before, but it had been a while. The gentleman that was delivering the message was asking a group of students just how bad that wanted to succeed. I hear it all the time just how bad people want to succeed in life but they are just not willing in most cases to do want it takes.

The story is about a student and his guru, he ask his guru if he would show him exactly what he did to be so successful and show him how to make money. The guru agreed and ask the student to meet him at the beach at 0400am in the morning. Now the student did not understand why, but showed up at 0400am on the beach anyway. The guru ask him to step out into the water, once again the student was wondering what this had to do with learning how to make money.

The guru ask the student to take a few more steps into the water up to the students neck, the student still confused. The guru then held the students head under the water for a short period of time, just long enough to make his point. When the student lifted his head out of the water and gasp for his first breath the guru ask him when he was under water what was the thing he wanted more than anything. The student responded by saying air, of course.

The guru said, when you want success in your life as bad as you wanted that breath of air, you will have it. Everyone says that they want success in their life, but they just do not want it bad enough to make any sacrifices to make it happen. How bad do you want it? Are you willing to make the necessary sacrifices in you life to have true financial freedom?

If you are not, that is fine. Just keep sleeping, keep watching TV and playing those cool video games, but do not say that you want success in your life if you are not willing to pay the price! I hear it everyday from those people that I fly with, they complain about everything from the pay, schedules and time away from home, but yet only a select few will ever take action to change or do better for themselves.

If you are happy with what you are doing and happy with the way things are in your life that is great, I could not be happier for you. For those that are not so fortunate, stop complaining about everything that is not right, appreciate those things that are good and take action to change those things that are not.

It Ain’t Easy!

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

I do enjoy being a Captain when it comes to my airline job, but some days it is definitely more difficult than others. I do like having a little bit of control over the flight and being in a position to take care of my crew and my passengers.

Today my airline was willing to leave 13 people standing at the gate just so they could get an on time departure. I found that to be unacceptable and took the necessary action to see that they got the opportunity to board the flight.

I am sure that I will catch grief from my chief pilot for the delay, but two families and their children made it home tonight and will be in their own beds instead of some nasty hotel.

I would like to see customer service hold some level of importance at any airline and stop worrying about their DOT performance. We are all the same, it would be nice if someone would stand up above the rest and be different. People might just appreciate it and actually pay a buck or two more for the better service.

Enjoy the video, it is getting to be that time of year again. Wonderful Thunder storms, GOOD TIMES!
