			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After ten days off it is time to head back to work, I find the more time that passes between trips the less motivated I am to return back to work.  I do enjoy my job, but I enjoy my time at home with my family much more! I fly with so many that feel the same way, yet they continue to work week after week, month after month and year after year not taking any action to be able to free themselves from their job.</p>
<p>I am sure that you have heard of the 40/40/40 plan. You work 40 hours a week for 40 years then retire at 40 percent of your pay. That is the plan most people are working on today and it sucks. I like to ask the question, if you find it difficult to live on 100 percent of what you make how do you think it will be living on 40 percent or less. Many do not have a good answer.  I have stop trying to convince friends and family that are in this situation why it is not a good one.</p>
<p>The team that I am working with today knows this to be true and are working hard to free themselves from the 40/40/40 plan. Most of them do not hate their jobs, but want the option to live their lives the way they want to. It is nice not to have to worry about if or when you may lose your job. Network marketing is really taking off, many people are realizing that there is no job security and are starting to take action. I think all of us want financial security and independence, it is just most are not willing to work for it.</p>
<p>Today it is easier than ever to grow your business, with the spread of the internet and social media you can explode your business in the first few weeks. You just have to be on the right team,  have the right opportunity  and be willing to do a little work. The choice is yours to make, you can keep playing the lottery hoping to score that winning ticket or take a more productive and certain route and get involved with me and my team.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Monday was my sons first day at school, man where does the time go? I do not remember my first day of school, but I remember it seem like I was going to school forever and was never going to grow up. It was not until I finished college that things started moving quickly, then once I had my son, time seems to have gone into a hyper drive mode. He turn five last month and it really does seem like just a year ago he was born.</p>
<p>     My point is, life is truly short and since we only get one shot at it we need to make it count. I have high expectations for myself and my son. I work hard everyday to provide a good quality life for me and my family. Working a good job can provide you with a good quality life, but often comes with a price, your time. Trading you hours for dollars really gets old after a while and when you find yourself working more hours so you can make more money, that is when your quality of life can take a turn for the worse.</p>
<p>     It is nice to have a beautiful home and lots of toys, but if you are never there to enjoy those things, what good are they? That is why so many people have turn to network marketing or direct sales. Real estate was really big until the housing market crashed, then everyone in real estate was scrambling to find another way to earn a residual income. Having your own business is great on so many levels, but you have to be able to work on your business more than in your business. </p>
<p>     With technology it is possible to start and grow your network marketing business with very little money, if any at all. The gentleman that introduced me to this business is making over 15,000 a month now and he has done so using Facebook and YouTube.   He has built a quality team of individuals that are all working toward a common goal, financial independence. It is simply people helping people to grow their business little by little until one day you look back and 18 months after starting, you are now earning more in your part time business than your full time job. It happens everyday with this business.</p>
<p>     I have mentioned before that I do love to fly and will do so as long as I am able, but it is nice to know that if something does happen that I have a solid plan B in place that will allow me to provide a good quality of life for me and my family. I have several businesses in place that if something where to happen to my job, I would not have to scramble or worry until I found another. I would be able to work from home and enjoy my life with no worries, what is your plan B, what would you do if you lost your job tomorrow? Think about it sooner than later, these are very uncertain times that we live in today and anything can happen at the blink of an eye!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     It is that time again, time for another 4 day trip and like most people on the east coast I am grateful that hurricane Irene is gone! It is always a little nerve racking when any type of bad weather approaches where you live, especially if you happen to be out of town when it hits. I have concern for my family any time I see bad weather approaching the North Carolina area.<br />
     We are very fortunate when it comes to our weather, typically we have a nice spring and fall and  there is only a brief period that we have to experience the extreme heat of the summer or freezing temperatures in the winter. I will never understand how someone continues to live in an area that is plagued with bad weather. How many times can you rebuild your home after a tornado, fire, earthquake or hurricane has destroyed it?<br />
     It is not just the weather that I am  concerned about today. I am concerned about the overall  health and wealth of our entire nation, except for the politicians and upper management for most corporations. Those guys will make sure they get a nice retirement and medical care at our expense. It is criminal what is happening in our country today with regards to our economy, I have to disagree with Gordon Gecko from the movie Wall Street, greed is not good.<br />
     The bottom line is that we must look out for ourselves, you cannot depend on anyone to provide for you or take care of you. If you do not have a sustainable business or a side income in addition to your job, what happens when you get hurt, laid off, fired, downsized, forced out or out sourced? It is more important now than ever to create multiple streams of income coming into your household. If you and your wife work that is great, if you can survive on just one of those incomes that is even better. Why not stack the deck in your favor? You both can have a side business that will not take up much up your time and in a couple of years can be generating an income as much or more than your full time job.<br />
     Odds are today that it is taking everything you make just to get by. Most people in this country are living paycheck to paycheck and making one excuse after another why they cannot have the life they want. There are opportunities all around, but you have to be willing and ready to take that chance and do the work. I have talked with many that say they have tried network marketing before and it wasn&#8217;t for them, they could not make any money. Most of them had a lottery type mentality, just because you start a business and those on your team are successful does not mean that you will be too. You have to take some responsibility for yourself, learn what to do and how to do it. You need to have a strong desire to be successful.<br />
     You have to take some time to learn the business, education is very important. Learn and do what those in your business are doing that are successful. They should be an invaluable source of information for you, they should be able to show you how to market, what is working and what is not, how to generate leads and what to do with them when they start to come in. Don&#8217;t quit is the best advice, once you start do not stop. Take action everyday, do or learn something everyday that will help to grow your business.<br />
      This type of business is unlike anything I have every seen before, it does not matter what your education is or where you live. There are average people in this business making six figures a month just because they took action, believed in themselves and kept at it. It will not happen over night, but can easily happen for you in a couple of years. Check out this link below and learn how to build a retirement income for yourself in as little as two years. It does not require a lot of your time and we have a system that will do most of the work for you.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> It is so difficult most days to keep things in prospective. We lead such busy lives that we are consumed everyday with work, home, business, family, finances and the future of our country. I am guilty of getting so caught up in the madness that is my life, that I often over look the little things that can make life worth living. </p>
<p>     Everyday that I am at home it is easy to be thankful for where I am and what I have in my life. To see my son smile, to hear him tell me that I am the best daddy in the world, for my wife to hug me and tell me that she is proud of me and kiss me just because. The quality time by the pool we spend or   hanging out on the boat. Life is good on my days off, but not so much when I have to head off to work to fly a four day trip.</p>
<p>     This week was a little different, for the first time in a long time the weather was good, we were on time every leg and I am flying with a great crew, so the complaining was minimal. Like I have mentioned before I do love to fly, I saw some beautiful sunsets over Lake Michigan this trip as well as a beautiful sunrise this morning while we were leveling at 37,000 feet from Fargo, N.D. To Chicago. I wish every week was this enjoyable!</p>
<p>     Life can&#8217;t always be good , but we should try to stack the deck in our favor when possible. Work on things at home to make them better, go for the job or the business that you really want. I fly with quite a few pilots that this is their second career. My First Officer last month use to be a C.P.A. And at 40 years old just could not see doing that for the rest of his life. He always wanted to fly, so he started taking lessons and a few short years later had his first airline job.</p>
<p>     You only get one shot, never let anyone discourage you from taking a chance or changing direction in your life, enjoy your life and live it the way that makes you happy.  Enjoy the little things in life and don&#8217;t sweat the small stuff, life is too short!  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     There is a book titled “Good to Great” that is definitely a must read. One line in the book says that good is the enemy of great, I had to think about that for a minute to really understand what exactly was being said. As I have mentioned before, I am not the brightest light in the hall. Thank God you do not have to be in order to achieve success in your life, you just have to be willing to work hard, learn new strategies and be persistent with your goals. </p>
<p>     I had a conversation with my mother this morning and she said that I had done good with my life so far, most would take that as a compliment and I did as well because it was said with good intentions. However, good is not good enough for me. I am very grateful everyday for all that is good in my life, but I work very hard to make it great. Good enough is for lazy people, good enough makes you complacent in your job and in your life.</p>
<p>     I feel that everyone should do what makes them happy, if you are happy where you are in life that is great, but I find so few are happy these days. There are many reasons not to be and many places to point the finger and place blame as to why we are not happy. We must first start with ourselves, I say this because I work with so many different people, all with similar complaints. Most everyone wants to make more money and have more time to spend with family or just doing things that they enjoy.</p>
<p>     It will always be difficult to achieve those things working a job. A job controls most of your life and when you trade your time for money you will discover that in order to make more money you have to give more of your time, and that just sucks. Not so if you have your own business, the right kind of business I should say. The secret to freedom is having a residual income coming in, you do the work once and receive the benefit from that work over and over again.</p>
<p>     Real estate and network marketing are the best two models that I have discovered that provide me with a residual income. Real estate contains a higher risk than network marketing, but I also believe in being diversified as well. I would never put all of my hopes and dreams into any one thing. If you are interested in having a nice residual income or developing your own retirement plan you should check out the link below. This company will provide you a way to generate an additional income and provide yourself with a great retirement with minimal effort in a very short period of time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  I think success has many different meanings, some tie success to their financial well being, for others it is how far they progress in their chosen career field. I feel very fortunate when I get to see those close to me achieve success in their lives, especially when I have the opportunity to play a part in it. When I see friends and family around me experience success and achieve financial freedom by accomplishing their goals, it is a feeling like none other.</p>
<p>     I just had one of my best friends get hired as a pilot at FedEx, for those not in the airline business, getting a flying job with FedEx is like hitting the lottery. They treat their people well, have the best contract in the business and you can earn a very good salary working for them. Jav has worked very hard to make this a reality in his life and I could not be happier for him! I wish I could have him in my business, he would do very well, but he and I define success differently. </p>
<p>     I have never met anyone that loves flying more than Jav and he dedicates a large portion of his time giving back to the industry by visiting local high schools and colleges educating children about aviation and the industry. Jav also works hard to rise money for the USO and for our Veterans, after serving in the Navy he has a strong sense of duty to give back to those who have served our country. He will be missed very much at American Eagle, but I know nothing will make him happier than flying that huge MD11 around the globe. It is a great gig for the small number of pilots that make it through the process and get hired. Congratulations Jav! </p>
<p>     Others measure success depending on how well their business is doing. I guess there is no wrong way to measure success in your life. I am big on setting goals and working hard to achieve them. If you go through life without goals, without a purpose, you will feel empty and lost. Set goals for yourself and take the steps necessary to achieve them and do not quit. It is really that simple, I get very frustrated when I fly with people that constantly complain about everything in their life, but yet take no action to change it.  </p>
<p>     No matter what you do or what your goals are in life, do not let the current state of our country or our economy get you down. My business is doing very well, people are looking to better themselves physical and financially. As more baby boomers retire they are searching for ways to stay young and feel good. Also, after seeing their stock portfolios and real estate investments take a dive they are looking for ways to generate an additional income in their life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have had several conversations with people recently about what it takes to start and run a successful business today. A few years ago I would have agreed with most of their opinions, but today it is so much easier to start and run your own business. There is still the traditional brick and mortar business such as your franchises, which carry a heavy fee to get started and take a lot of time and effort to achieve any level of success,</p>
<p>     Based on the power of the internet and social media, I have to recommend that the best business to start is one that can be ran from anywhere. One that if you have a phone and a laptop you can be up and running. This is possible with real estate, network marketing, drop shipping, e stores, etc. There are many possibilities for  someone that is looking for a better way to earn a living instead of killing yourself everyday with your job.</p>
<p>     You have to have the drive, motivation and determination to make it a reality. Most that start do fail, because they do not stick with it. There is a learning curve and you have to push through the pain before you will experience the success you are searching for.  For those that really want to achieve success and financial freedom, those select few that push through the pain fine success. </p>
<p>     If you are serious about success and you are looking for a way to achieve it in your life, just give me a call or send me an email. I would be glad to send some information to you about the many different ways you can begin to generate money online and start to build something that will support you and your family for the rest of your life. We all deserve a better way of life, it is unfortunate that only a select few ever achieve it. Will you be one?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>    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. </p>
<p>     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. </p>
<p>     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. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     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.  </p>
<p>     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&#8217;s to grow my business. You will not get rich over night, but if you do not quit you will be successful.</p>
<p>     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. </p>
<p>     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.</p>
<p>     Take action, stay consistent, educate yourself and associate with positive and motivated people. </p>
<p>To you health and wealth,<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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 <a href="http://www.healthandwealthforpilots.com/">Health and Wealth for Pilots</a>.  I cover many of the basic health issues that are concerning to pilots. </p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p> 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&#8217;s face it as we grow older our metabolism slows down, we cannot continue to eat the way that we did in our twenties. </p>
<p> 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.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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. </p>
<p> 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.                                                                                                                                     </p>
<p> 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.                                                                                                                                    </p>
<p> Four people die every 18 minutes in this country due to their diet, that should<br />
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.</p>
<p> 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.<br />
 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. </p>
<p>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!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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? </p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Enjoy the video, it is getting to be that time of year again. Wonderful Thunder storms, GOOD TIMES!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just love running into those few people that want to tell me that my network marketing business is a pyramid scheme. Today in the Money section of the USA Today newspaper the title reads &#8220;CEO pay soars while workers&#8217; pay stalls&#8221;  CEO pay jumped 27 percent in 2010, workers however saw their compensation grow by 2.1 percent.</p>
<p>CEOs received a median of $2.2 million from bonuses, up 47 percent from $1.5 in 2009 and a healthy 7 percent boost to the median salary, which is now $1.1 million dollars. Coke, IBM, Wells Fargo, Aflac, 3M just to name a few companies that are true pyramids. You probably work for a company that has a structure just like theirs, I know I do and it sucks, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP PEOPLE!</p>
<p>At your job you will never make more money at the company than those above you, that is a fact, but yet people scoff at my business and say that it is a scam. I have many people in my group that I brought into the business making more money than myself, because they are working harder than me. The top guy on my team made $ 13,000 last month, can you do that with your job?</p>
<p>This is a performance based business, you get out of it what you put into it! With the technology that we are using to grow our business we are working smarter now more than harder, but you still have to put some time and effort into learning the business if you want to be successful, you just can&#8217;t sign up and wait for the money to start pouring in. </p>
<p>Check out this short video by a man that is a true genius when it comes to business. Take action today and learn some new skills that will create wealth and security in your life.</p>
