<p>Hello and thank you for taking interest in Revolucion, Im not here to convince you to join the company at all but I do want to represent the facts about Revolucion. The reason you are reading this is because:</p>
<ol>
<li>Your doing your home work about the company which is what I would do before joining any venture.</li>
<li>You heard about it but want more information.</li>
<li>You are Interested in joining (Click <a href="http://akachild.revolucionww.com" target="_blank">Here</a> for more information)</li>
</ol>
<p>I am an Independent Distributor of Revolucion World Wide (My Distributor ID is: 1486470)</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Introduction</p>
<p>Revolucion</p>
<p>Revolucion World Wide is an whole food-derived nutritional product based company that is headquartered in Tempe, Arizona. Founded in February 2009 by success legends Derek Broes, Peter Lupus III, and Perter Lupus who stared in the original Mission Impossible.  Revolucion has now become the official residual income partner of the NFL Alumni Association</p>
<p>Revolucion World Wide is a powerful direct sales marketing platform company. Revolucion World Wide takes great pride in the company mantra &#8220;Servant Leadership builds Stability and Longevity&#8221;.<br />
<span id="more-290"></span></p>
<p>Revolucion Leadership</p>
<p>As former Senior Vice President of Worldwide Business Development At Paramount Pictures, A Viacom Company Broes was responsible for establishing a digital strategy and helping to drive the companies most public partnership such as the Apple Itunes, Amazon, and Walmart Partnership. Prior to joining Paramount in 2006 Derek lead the global wireless strategy and business development team for Windows Media at Microsoft Corp., Pushing entertainment convergence within the wireless space. Broes has been at the for front of media and technology for more than a decade and is nationally recognized as an influential leader in the film and high tech industries.</p>
<p>Before joining Microsoft, Broes was an entrepreneur of successful media and technology companies, including the post production feature film industry first all digital post production sound design and editing facility, located in Burbank cal.</p>
<p>Revolucion Product</p>
<p>In December 2009, RWW launched two revolutionary natural whole food drinks. The (START) energy drink and (Defense) a super anti-oxidant beverage as the first of many powerful products. It&#8217; product line will expand into weight loss and daily consumable wellness products in the near future. Developed by a world-class nutritional formulator, and has created what I feel to be the most significant nutritional ready to drink beverage in our history and perhaps even our time.</p>
<p>DEFENSE, low in calories, deliciously satisfying, supplies the body with an antioxidant power of over 7,000 ORAC. Using the collective knowledge of the antioxidant capacity of foods, they&#8217;ve chosen fruits and botanical known for their nutritional density and overall phyto-nutrient content. Their proprietary blend contains nutraceuticals that support the body&#8217;s natural defense against free radical damage and cell injury. The ingredients selected for DEFENSE are also well known for their ant-aging and anti-cancer enhancing effects.</p>
<p>How Revolucion Works</p>
<p>Revolucion works quite simple join as a preferd customer and use the product yourself to sell and make a profit, become and Executive and reap the rewards of having other people join you. Not only that the company will reward you with extra bonuses for growing the company so you have the options to make serious commissions.</p>
<p>This compensation plan is a 3 x 9 matrix, which allows unlimited income potential, and rewards team building and personal productivity. The matrix has been proven to work and is the best when used in this lucrative Industry.</p>
<p>Trends</p>
<p>What is happening in the health and wellness industry, as you look at the baby boomers aging and retireing they are shaping this industry. Baby boomers are looking for ways to stay healthy and look young, according to Paul Zane Pilzer the author of numerous best-selling books, and is one of our nation&#8217;s greatest economists to ever exist. He has predicted that Health and Wellness will be a TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY by 2010.</p>
<p>Does Network Marketing Work</p>
<p>My answer to that is &#8220;YES&#8221; for over 65 years Network Marketing has generated a whopping 100 billion dollars and has created many millionaires. Every day average people who have made a decision to change their lives, and it&#8217;s only going to get better. Network Marketing takes out the middle man and allows you to make the commissions which is why I consider it to be the best model ever invented.</p>
<p>Over 40 million people now work from the confort of their homes why? because of freedom from the corporate world, free to do what they want, leave when they want with out someone telling them so. It is absolutely a great model you are your own boss if you fail is not because of someone else, that will be determine by you it gives you leverage.</p>
<p>Robert Kiyosaki, author of &#8216;Rich Dad Poor Dad&#8217;, Donald Trump, and Warren Buffet are some of the most successful entrepreneurs to ever exist&#8230; And each one of them is a strong proponent of network marketing.</p>
<p>Today most Network Marketers make more money than most CEO&#8217;s. The last few network marketing companies to launch in the last couple of years have used an innovative compensation plan&#8230; And THEY are the ones breaking income records.</p>
<p>Can You Make Money With Revolucion World Wide</p>
<p>Yes you can but that&#8217;s up to you Im not going to lie and tell you it&#8217;s easy like anything else you have to make a commitment you have to have a desire a belief that you can succeed in Network Marketing and believe in the product you are promoting simply put without belief there is no way your going to succeed in this industry.</p>
<p>For more information please click <a href="http://akachild.revolucionww.com/">here</a></p>
<p>In conclusion: Revolucion is a great opportunity but like anything else you have to make that decision for yourself according to the facts that was presented here. Revolucion has great leadership and great products and has the best comp plan in this industry. Yes you can make money with Revolucion if you take the time to apply yourself to training and making a commitment to succeed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just found what I think is such a wonderful tool.  This new tool that I found is located at <a href="http://www.mint.com" target="_blank">Mint.com</a>.  This is probably one of the best budgeting tools that I have ever seen.  I first caught mention of this website when I was helping a friend finish his taxes.  Later, I rediscovered it when I was helping another friend to find an alternative to Microsoft Money, because Microsoft is no longer supporting this software.</p>
<p>Once I got online, I discovered that I with this tool, I can synchronize bank accounts, credit cards, loans, investments, and even add assets that I own.  This tool is completely free to use, and will synchronize nightly.  You can also go through after you have organized expenses, and create a budget.  This is a pretty neat tool, because I can tell how I am doing for the month for anything from groceries, to entertainment.  I have faith that this can help keep me on a better financial journey.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not a big fan of the Idaho Mistaken, I mean the Idaho Statesman.  It is our local newspaper.  They are terrible at reporting news.  Usually when there is breaking news, they always have to be the first ones to report it, so in the process, they leave things out or misreport info. </p>
<p>Or they report on things that don&#8217;t really sound like news to me. <br />
<span id="more-142"></span>For Example, there was a story today about how <a href="http://www.micron.com" target="_blank">Micron</a> can save $17 thousand dollars by not buying facial tissue.  I don&#8217;t really consider this news.  Some might, but I just don&#8217;t.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to voice my opion about something.  Why does President-Elect Barack Obama have to stick his damn nose into everything.  I don&#8217;t remember where I was reading this, but I read somewhere that Obama wants to implement a College Football playoff system.  Everyone else wants to do this as well, but that is not my point.  My point is that there are so many other political things to worry about other than College Football.  Like the big one is the current economic situation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Previously, I have posted a post about <a href="http://www.anthonychild.com/blog/2008/08/03/quickbooks-vs-microsoft-money/">Quickbooks vs Microsoft Money</a>.  However, as Mike mentioned in comments on this same post that when I said I would post that day, apparently that didn&#8217;t mean that day.  Well, I don&#8217;t really remember what I was going to post about.  So, I will just write a new post that is somewhat related. <span id="more-118"></span> I do not have my own business, or have any plan to start a business anytime soon.  But I just started a job as a bookkeeper where I use Quickbooks on a daily basis.  In the past, I had used Microsoft Money to keep track of my personal finances.  However, I was debating about whether I should continue to use MS Money, or if I should use Quickbooks.  I had heard that usually people use Quicken for personal finances, but some people use Quickbooks.  So, I decided to give in and I purchased myself a copy of Quickbooks Pro, so that I would have some of the features that I use at work.</p>
<p>I have not actually taken the time to get all my accounts and bills and things set up, but I will get to that one of these days.  I just need to pick a time to get it all started, and haven&#8217;t quite figured out how to do that.  If anyone has any suggestions just let me know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been some time since I have last posted.  Actually, it has been some time since I have been in my regular schedule of blogging.</p>
<p>Today, I started my new job.  I don&#8217;t really even know my job title, but I am mainly the assistant to a bookkeeper for a local hotel.  I also do other things when needed, such as: helping with any kind of maintenance, checking customers in, and any other task that they may need me for.</p>
<p>This job is something that I have been searching for over the last 2 ½ months. It just about fell in my lap&#8230;<br />
<span id="more-107"></span></p>
<p>When I lost my last job, I had gone down to the LDS Employment Office and filled out an information sheet.  I had just finished an Associates Degree in Accounting, so I had been searching for something in bookkeeping or some thing that would get me experience in the accounting field.</p>
<p>Friday the 1st of August, I got a phone call at about 10 or 11 in the morning.  She said that she got my info from the LDS Employment Office, and wanted me to come in for an interview.  I came in for an interview.  The interview went pretty well.  However, I started to get a little worried, because things started going like they did in other interviews.  They (there was two interviewing me) asked me the same questions that I have been asked in other interviews.  Except there was one stood out to me that has been asked to me before. And that was, &#8220;How much Quickbooks experience do you have?&#8221;  I simply said &#8220;None, except for what I have done for an assignment in class.&#8221;  They asked a couple more questions, and then said &#8220;I wish you had more Quickbooks experience.&#8221;  We talked a little bit more, and they told me that I would know by evening on Saturday (Today).</p>
<p>I stopped by my wife&#8217;s work (Dairy Queen), and grabbed an ice cream cone.  It had not been more than 30 minutes since I had the interview, and got a phone call.  I recognized the phone number from earlier, at this point I knew it was either good or bad.  The news I received, was not what I expected.  I said, &#8220;Hello&#8221; and was then she asked me when I could come in to work.  So, I went in today and got started with my experiences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just bought a new car. Actually no I didn&#8217;t, but if this car was available in the United States, I would for sure purchase it. Not only as a way to save money, but as a way to get back at the gas companies who are really screwing over America. Mike was talking about changing some <a href="http://michael.coxfam.org/index.php/2008/06/09/changing-driving-habits/">driving habits</a>, so I wanted to talk about how I would try to improve mine.</p>
<p>The car is a little bit ugly, and kinda weird looking, but I would take it so that I could save money.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.anthonychild.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/air-car-1.bmp"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-57" title="air-car-1" src="http://www.anthonychild.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/air-car-1.bmp" alt="Air Car" /></a><br />
This is the same company who, a few months back, came out with a car that costs only $2,500.00 new (but it&#8217;s not available in the US or Canada. A non polluting vehicle that eliminates the reason to buy gasoline from off shore companies.<br />
<span id="more-62"></span><br />
(I got this in an email, so I thought I would like to share with others.)</p>
<p><strong>Amazing Air Car</strong>!<br />
The Compressed Air Car developed by Motor Development International (MDI) Founder Guy Negre might be the best thing to have happened to the motor engine in years.<br />
The $12,700 CityCAT, one of the planned Air Car models, can hit 68 mph and has a range of 125 miles. It will take only a few minutes for the CityCAT to refuel at gas stations equipped with custom air compressor units. MDI says it should cost only around $2 to fill the car up with 340 liters of air!<br />
The Air Car will be starting production relatively soon, thanks t o India &#8216;s TATA Motors. Forget corn! There&#8217;s fuel, there&#8217;s renewable fuel, and then there&#8217;s user-renewable fuel! What can be better than air?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The next time you hear a politician use the word &#8216;billion&#8217; in a casual manner, think about whether you want the &#8216;politicians&#8217; spending your tax money.</p>
<p>A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it&#8217;s releases. </p>
<ol>
<li>A billion seconds ago it was 1959. </li>
<li>A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive. </li>
<li>A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age. </li>
<li>A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet. </li>
<li>A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes, at the rate our government is spending it. </li>
</ol>

While this thought is still fresh in our brain&#8230; let&#8217;s take a look at New Orleans. It&#8217;s amazing what you can learn with some simple division. Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D) is presently asking Congress for 250 BILLION DOLLARS to rebuild New Orleans.  Interesting number&#8230;<br />
What does it mean? </p>
<ol>
<li>Well&#8230; if you are one of the 484,674 residents of  New Orleans (every man, woman, and child) you each get $516,528.</li>
<li>Or&#8230; if you have one of the 188,251 homes in New Orleans , your home gets  $1,329,787. </li>
<li>Or&#8230; if you are a family of four&#8230; your family gets  $2,066,012. </li>
</ol>
