<p>In the insightful video below I reveal 3 FUNDAMENTAL principles you can use for <strong>how to quit job</strong> by starting<strong> part time online</strong>. </p>
<p>I have been an entrepreneur since I quit my last job in 1996 to go full time in College, paying my own way through as a freelance fashion cutter and designer.<img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/stress.png" alt="How To Quit Your Job By Going Part Time OnLine" title="How To Quit Your Job By Going Part Time OnLine" width="212" height="198" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1230" /></p>
<p>Since then I have continued to operate my own businesses and even opened a retail store in the heart of Sydney&#8217;s Pitt street opposite World Square which ran for 5 successful years and moved home in July 2009 in pursuit of additional online business models.</p>
<p>In that business I was coaching WOULD BE entrepreneurs how to start up and build a network <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a> distributorship part time around their jobs and studies and what kept coming up for many of these part time entrepreneurs was the desire to go FULL TIME.</p>
<p>I have always cautioned against this and rather &#8216;Start Part Time&#8217; UNTIL your part time income REPLACES your full time income. </p>
<p>So essentially <strong>How To Quit Your Job</strong> is by <strong>starting Part Time Online</strong> and build up a steady &#8216;BIG TICKET&#8217; monthly cashflow that allows you the  ABUNDANCE mindset necessary to attract what you desire.</p>

<p><a href="http://christopher-reid.com/chris-barber/img_new" rel="attachment wp-att-1051"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_NEW-217x300.jpg" alt="Chris Barber aged 2 years" title="Chris Barber aged 2 years" width="217" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1051" /> For the first 27 years of my life I was known as <strong>Chris Barber</strong> not Chris Reid</p>
<p>I only RETURNED my name to Chris Reid 8 years ago when I became fully aware of my independence and who I really was in this life&#8230;</p>
<p>Let me explain what happened.</p>
<p>I WAS BORN as Chris Reid, lets get that straight. That is the name on my birth certificate but it was not the name I used growing up in the working class suburb of Hilton near Fremantle, Western Australia.<br />
</a><strong><br />
The beginning:</strong></p>
<p>When my mother was a teenager she met a young merchant sailor from Greece or Yugoslavia (my mum cannot remember) who&#8217;s name was Christopher and was in port for less than 2 weeks. </p>
<p>They had a short affair, Christopher left and my mum became pregnant.</p>
<p>She decided she would raise me on her own as a single mum which of course wasn&#8217;t easy back in 1975. </p>
<p>So I was born as Christopher Michael <u>Reid</u> because that is the name of my mum.</p>
<p>Thanks mum for giving me life!</p>
<p><strong>How I became Chris Barber:</strong></p>
<p>A short time after I was born (less than 1 year) my mum met a man named Allan Barber and they got married.</p>
<p>They had a son (Ronald, my brother) and I became <strong>Chris Barber</strong> by default. </p>
<p>Less than 2 years of marriage and my mum Debbie and Allan split up, leaving Debbie with 2 young boys to raise on her own. She continued to use the name Barber.</p>
<p><a href="http://christopher-reid.com/chris-barber/img_0003_new1" rel="attachment wp-att-1055"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0003_NEW1-300x218.jpg" alt="Chris Barber Fremantle Hawks" title="Chris Barber Fremantle Hawks" width="300" height="218" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1055" /></a>As I went through pre-school, primary school (Hilton Primary), high school (South Fremantle High School), and junior football (Fremantle Hawks) I just assumed that name and never did much about it because you don&#8217;t when you are just a kid. You just accept the way things are.</p>
<p>Debbie had 2 more children, Neil and Katrina, both to separate fathers and now had 4 children, all from different men and all using the name Barber.<br />
<strong><br />
How things changed:</strong></p>
<p>At 16 years of age I moved out of home, became a street kid in Perth for a while, met some nice people  with dreams and a better outlook on life then I was brought up with who helped me out of that situation and slowly I started to see life differently.</p>
<p>At 19 I caught a Greyhound bus to Sydney and arrived with nothing more than a copy of my birth certificate and around $200 in my pocket.</p>
<p>I got work in bars and in the fashion industry and worked hard for 2 years before I managed to get myself into a TAFE course.<br />
<a href="http://christopher-reid.com/chris-barber/img_0001_new1" rel="attachment wp-att-1056"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0001_NEW1-300x183.jpg" alt="Chris Barber East Sydney Fashion Design Student" title="Chris Barber East Sydney Fashion Design Student" width="300" height="183" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1056" /></a><br />
I paid my way through 4 years of fashion design school (still as Chris Barber,) when I finished I just kept working and saving with the idea to leave Sydney and travel around the world.</p>
<p><strong>Becoming Chris Reid:</strong></p>
<p>It was the decision to travel that led me to change my name from Chris Barber to Chris Reid. </p>
<p>As I needed a passport to travel, and I had my birth extract I came to the decision to become known as my rightful name of Chris Reid.</p>
<p>To get my passport I needed to use my original birth certificate and that is when I realized that I am and always have been Chris Reid and simply started calling myself by that name.</p>
<p><strong>Time flies:</strong></p>
<p>What is interesting is that using the name Chris Barber was a decision by my mum, it was not written in law. Changing my name to Chris Reid was a decision by me that took a long time to make, and has essentially felt like giving away an old life that was full of let downs and disappointments.</p>
<p>Since returning to my original name I have come to realize that what <strong>happens to us in life and what we make those events to mean are two separate things.</strong></p>
<p>Whether I was Chris Reid or Chris Barber, I still have experiences and memories that make me uniquely who I am today.</p>
<p><strong>An Exciting Future:</strong></p>
<p>With the internet and Social Media sites like Facebook available to connect us with our past friends and relatives, I realize that through all my schooling, jobs and sporting teams, I have met thousands of people over the first 27 years of my life, and if any of them were to try and find me, they wouldn&#8217;t be able to because Chris Barber just disappeared.<br />
<a href="http://christopher-reid.com/chris-barber/img_0002_new1" rel="attachment wp-att-1059"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/IMG_0002_NEW1-300x190.jpg" alt="Chris Barber 21st Birthday With Friends" title="Chris Barber 21st Birthday With Friends" width="300" height="190" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1059" /></a><br />
So I decided to make this post with the hope that I can get it to show in the search engine results for Chris Barber so any old friends, team mates, school friends, family and work colleagues who look for me can find me, know what happened and get in touch with me.</p>
<p>We all have stories of how our life has evolved, and this is part of mine. Through self discovery and personal growth I have come to accept my unique life so far and to embrace its lessons that have helped to shape who I am.</p>
<p>I am not ashamed, embarrassed or resentful, in fact quite the opposite. I am a positive, healthy happy young guy with the world at my feet and my experiences have allowed me to meet amazing people and to experience life unlike most will ever have the chance.</p>
<p>So if you are an old friend of Chris Barber, you are my friend still. I just have a new name, my original name of Christopher Michael Reid.</p>
<p>Please contact me, it will be great to catch up with you and share our life experiences.</p>
<p>All the best Chris Reid.</p>
<p>**Please do me a favor by retweeting this and share it on Facebook. It just my help me to connect with an old long lost friend again.</p>
<p>And leave me your thoughts below. I would love to know what you are thinking.</p>
<p>Thankyou.

<p><b>Why Can&#8217;t I Make My Dreams Come True?&#8230;.</b></p>
<p>For MOST of the worlds population the answer to this question is the difference between just <b>surviving life</b> and <b>living a good life</b></p>
<p>If you believe in &#8220;The Secret&#8221; and the &#8216;Law of Attraction&#8217; you would understand that we receive EVERYTHING we have asked for in our life and that it is our subconscious mind that controls what we receive. </p>
<p>The truth is&#8230; &#8220;<u>Asking for what you want</u> and <b>GIVING what you want</b> FIRST allows you to receive MORE than you can ever imagine.&#8221;</p>
<p>So if you have ever asked the question &#8220;Why can&#8217;t I make my dreams come true?&#8221; then it is possible that you are not being SPECIFIC about what it is you are asking for, AND you are not GIVING what it is you want FIRST.</p>
<p>If you want more love in your life&#8230;. go and be more loving to those around you.</p>
<p>If you want more friends in your life&#8230; go and be a friendlier person.</p>
<p>If you want a helping hand every now and then&#8230; go and help out those less fortunate.</p>
<p>If you want more recognition and respect from work mates and family&#8230;. try showing them the kind of respect that you want FIRST.</p>
<p>You see my friend, everything that you want in your life STARTS WITH YOU asking for it AND making the room for it in your life by SHOWING THE WORLD THAT IT IS ALREADY THERE through your actions and behaviours.</p>
<p><center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/sWO8tvPIHbM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/sWO8tvPIHbM&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></center></p>
<h3>If you could have ONE WISH what would it be?&#8230;..</h3>
<p>I bet if you really thought long and hard about it, after all of the thoughts and images of satisfying your own self interests you would be for a world where every one could fulfill all of their dreams without destroying the planet and live happily together in love, peace and harmony.</p>
<p>I believe most people deep down want that.</p>
<p>In 1968 Elvis Presley King of Rock &#038; Roll made a triumphant return to performing live concerts when he recorded his comeback special with CBS. </p>
<p>At the end of the 68 Comeback Special Elvis sang &#8220;If I can Dream&#8221;, a song that asks the question<b>&#8220;WHY can&#8217;t my dreams come true??&#8221;</b></p>
<p>Today, 42 years later and with the help of technology and <a href=http:/www.Youtube.com/onlinemlmrockstar">youtube Elvis Presley &#038; Celine Dion</a> team up to remind us to dream of a better world. Not just for ourselves, but for EVERYONE!</p>
<p><center><br />
<h1>Elvis Presley &#038; Celine Dion <br />If I Can Dream</h1>
<p></center><br />
<center><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/USRZOmkiRpQ&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/USRZOmkiRpQ&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p><b>Elvis Presley &#038; Celine Dion &#8211; If I Can Dream</b><br />
&#8220;There must lights burning brighter somewhere.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;If I can dream of a better land where all my brothers walk hand in hand, tell me why, oh why, oh why can&#8217;t my dream come true.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;There must be peace and understanding sometime.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Strong winds of promise that will blow away all the doubt and fear&#8221;<br />
&#8220;If I can dream of a warmer sun, where hope keeps shining on everyone, tell me why, oh why, oh why won&#8217;t that sun appear??&#8221;<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re lost in a cloud with too much rain.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;We&#8217;re trapped in a world that&#8217;s troubled with pain.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;But as long as a man has the strength to dream, he can redeem his sole and fly.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Deep in my heart there&#8217;s a trembling question.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Still I am sure that the answers going to come some how.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Out there in the dark, there&#8217;s a beckoning candle.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;While I can think, while I can talk.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;While I can stand, while I can walk.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;While I can dream, please let my dream come true right now.&#8221; </center></p>
<p>Although the main line of the song is &#8220;Why can&#8217;t my dream come true&#8221; it actually is saying <b>&#8220;Why can&#8217;t we get along?&#8221; </b></p>
<p>This year, in the midst of all the striving and growing and achieving and trying to do better and get more out of life for ourselves, do not forget to lend a helping hand to your friends, neighbors and relatives and those around you who could use your help.</p>
<p>Because that&#8217;s what&#8217;s really most important about life my friend&#8230; Sharing your skills, talent, ability&#8217;s and success with those around you.</p>
<p>When you do that you will receive more than you give. That is the &#8220;LAW.&#8221; The natural &#8220;law of the universe&#8221; called &#8220;The Law Of Attraction.&#8221;</p>
<p>Make this year YOUR year to dream bigger than you ever have before and to take the necessary actions towards making those dreams a reality, but to also reach out and help out to those who need you along the way.</p>
<p>When you do that you will attract the magical events, people and circumstances into your life to make all of your wildest dreams a reality.</p>
<p>DREAM bigger than you&#8217;ve ever DREAMED before and GIVE more than you&#8217;ve ever GIVEN before and you will RECEIVE more than you have ever RECEIVED before. </p>
<p>And you will never again need to ask the question <b>&#8220;Why Can&#8217;t I Make My Dreams Come True?&#8221;</b></p>
<p>Long live the King.</p>

<p><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/demartini.bmp" alt="demartini" title="demartini" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-647" />The other night I had the good fortune of meeting with <u>Dr John DeMartini</u> for a couple of hours while he was was between flights in Sydney on his way to New Zealand.</p>
<p>I almost wasn&#8217;t going to go. I thought to myself  <b>&#8216;not another self help Guru&#8217;</b> trying to sell me a  weekend coaching program or home study course.</p>
<p>But I&#8217;d been struggling to find purpose in my life after dissolving my network <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a> business in June this year and something inside told me that I should go&#8230; and besides these events are a great place to network and meet like minded people right?</p>
<p>This guy was told by his first grade teachers that he would never amount to much, since he had dyslexia and couldn&#8217;t read nor comprehend what he was learning in school and left home at age 14 to hitch hike his way to Hawaii where surfed and hung out until he met a mentor who tapped him into his potential. </p>
<p>He went back to high school, went to college and became a doctor and has spent the last 37 years studying everything to do with human potential from Abraham Masloes theory&#8217;s of personality and motivation through to the what drives the great leaders to change the course of history and the world.</p>
<p>So his colourful background made for an entertaining speach I will say that.</p>
<p>Dr John DeMartini is all about getting you to <b>&#8216;Break Through&#8217;</b> to discovering what your <b>PURPOSE IN LIFE</b> is that has brought you into this world. </p>
<p>And isn&#8217;t that what most of us want right?&#8230; to find purpose in our lives.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h3><font color="red">&#8220;When we live from the inner world and not the outer material world we are better able find our purpose in life.&#8221;</font></h3>
<p></center> </p>
<p>Most people on planet earth live in <u>1 of the 6 phases of life.</u> The first 4 are &#8220;Self Orientated&#8221; meaning that they are all about ourselves. It is only when we can transcend the first 4 phases that our life has meaning, we feel fullfilled, we are serving others and we are on purpose.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h2><font color="red">The 6 Phases Of Life</font></h2>
<p></center></p>
<p><b>1) Survival and Self:</b> Food, clothing, shelter and reproduction are all that is of concern for those living in this phase of life. It is sad to say but there are many millions of people who are in unfortunate circumstances today who are living this life, a life not much better than our ancestors thousands of years before.</p>
<p><b>2) Security:</b> When we finally are able to transcend the survival state and get some material possesions the first thing that we want to do is protect it. When we have a a home, car, job and a family our natural instinct is to make sure that no one steals our clothes and harms our family. </p>
<p>Many people today live in total FEAR that they will lose their job, or that their partners will leave them and they find it hard to escape this level of conscousness. This is the ignorant state.</p>
<p><b>3) Show Off:</b> Have you noticed what happens when someone is able to afford the best of the material world? Do you recognise those show offs that have been &#8216;handed&#8217; all of the nice things that money can buy and a good family can support? </p>
<p>This is the phase that comes when we have no purpose, and are living a life of &#8220;motivation&#8221; not of &#8220;inspiration.&#8221; We are motivated by vanity and the material world&#8217;s Social Acceptance of us. This state is all about social acceptance and feelings of worthiness through material wealth.</p>
<p>It is more fullfilling to be <b>EMPOWERED</b> than to be <b>Entitled.</b></p>
<p><b>4) Self Esteem:</b> People who live at this higher level are most likely involved in some sort of community service. They are the givers of this world. They constantly help out those in need around them and it gives them a feeling of purpose which they enjoy. </p>
<p>But they are still self inclosed meaning that they still live in the 1st 3 states at some level.</p>
<p><b>5) Self Fullfillment:</b> This level of enlightenment only comes once we shake of the &#8220;self orientated&#8221; nature of the first 4 character traits. People who are &#8216;Self Fullfilled&#8217; are those that contribute at a higher level such as doing great things for the city or the state in which they live. </p>
<p>Self fullfillment can only come when you contribute to a cause that is higher than yourself. </p>
<p>In this state EVERYTHING is about living larger. And everyone around these individuals is impacted. The family members have more prestige, the friendships are more significant as these individuals live to a higher order.</p>
<p><b>6) Spiritual Actualisation:</b> These are the great leaders of the world who focus on GLOBAL causes and services that effect whole countrys and the world. The people living in this state are the people who change the world. Think of Bill Gates, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Terresa, Elvis Presley, Richad Branson, Oprah Winfrey. </p>
<p><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/motherteresa.bmp" alt="motherteresa" title="motherteresa" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-648" /><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/bill-gates.bmp" alt="bill gates" title="bill gates" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-649" /> <img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/elvis.bmp" alt="elvis" title="elvis" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-650" /><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mahatma.jpg" alt="mahatma" title="mahatma" width="80" height="80" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-651" /><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/oprah.bmp" alt="oprah" title="oprah" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-652" /><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/richardb.bmp" alt="richardb" title="richardb" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-653" /></p>
<p>Their legacy is that they changed the course of history and it is because they were &#8216;on purpose.&#8217;</p>
<p>When you reach levels 5 and 6 you are living your purpose in life because what you do each day ceases to be about just yourself. Where levels 1-4 are all self orientated, levels 5 and 6 are about &#8220;serving.&#8221; And that my friends is the answer to how you live a fullfilling life.</p>
<p><center><br />
<h3><font color="red">&#8220;Whoever finds a need and goes about fullfilling that need will grow in social power and leadership.&#8221;</font></h3>
<p></center></p>
<p>When you are <b>Leading A Purpose Driven Life,</b> it is because you <u>care enough about humanity to deliver who you are to them.</u> And that is what Dr DeMartini helps people to do&#8230; to find out WHO YOU ARE!</p>
<p>He helps you to find what it is that you were sent here to do so you can stop living life from the first 4 phases i.e the material world, and start to live from the 5th and 6th phases which is the &#8216;Inner World.&#8217;</p>
<p>His technique for helping you to discover your purpose is interesting and unique.</p>
<p>It is all about breaking down your fears that are holding you back in your life and to give yourself permission to shine. He teaches you to be a great builder AND destroyer of the transformational forces in your life so you can reach your purpose and make a difference to humanity.</p>
<p><center><b>&#8220;Don&#8217;t Be A Victim Of Your History, Become A Master Of Your Destiny!&#8221;</b></center></p>

<h3><font color="red">The 3 Major Character Traits Of Leaders.</font></h3>
<p>1) All the great leaders have had the ability to <b>&#8220;IDENTIFY&#8221;</b> what their core values are and then to live to them. They are able to prioritize their daily activity&#8217;s so they can work on what is highest to their values and they delegate the other tasks to those who do them based on <u>their</u> highest values. </p>
<p>Great leaders are also <u>congruent</u> with their highest values. You are either doing what you love or you are in love with what you do. The first love is living by your values and the other is changing your values to get by. Congruency is a MUST to leading a purpose driven life</p>
<p>2) The 2nd great trait that all the great leaders of history have in common is a <b>&#8220;CLARITY OF VISION.&#8221;</b> Those with a mission have a message and a vision that is clear and drives them to get out of bed each day. </p>
<p>When you start leading a purpose driven life you no longer need to be motivated because your values and your purpose inspire you. </p>
<p>3) And the 3rd major character trait of the great leaders is <b>&#8220;CERTAINTY.&#8221;</b> Leaders are certain. Have you ever followed a leader that was not sure where they were going? They wouldn&#8217;t be a leader for very long would they? </p>
<p>One way that you can have certainty in your life is to <u>Learn To Ask Quality Questions.</u> And through asking quality questions you will be better able to <strong>get inspired by your own life again.</strong></p>
<p>So I am here to tell you friends, that I learnt all of that and much more in only 2 hours with Dr John DeMartini and if you ever get the chance to see him live then do it or go buy one of his books or dvd&#8217;s as it is an investment well spent. </p>
<p>This guy is a <b>MASTER</b> at helping you to discover your hidden potential, your highest values in life and then to encourage you to go and live them.</p>
<p>And when you are living at your highest values&#8230; you are <b>leading a purpose driven life</b> that brings you self fullfillment and spiritual actualisation and yes&#8230;. all of the wealth and abundance you could ever want and need.</p>
<p>So I got my hands on 2 tickets for his 1 day event &#8220;The New Psychology Of Success&#8221; in November&#8230; can&#8217;t wait!</p>

<p>Stephanie and I had an awesome encounter on Saturday.</p>
<p>In town for a conference, she arrived a day early to catch up with me (blushing) and do some site seeing.</p>
<p>I was test driving my friends really nice, dark blue 65th anniversary Jeep Wrangler, for the weekend and so with a glorious 27 degree winters day in Sydney and the roof off, we soothed on into the groovy vibes from the stereo and cruised on over to Coogee Beach for lunch. </p>
<p>We both had chicken burgers with fries and I had a coke and Steph a soda water.</p>
<p>Then it was time to measure her up, so we headed back to our ride and I took Stephanie&#8217;s measurements in front of some the locals. </p>
<div id="attachment_461" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://christopher-reid.com/another-7-kilos-to-lose/sany0125web" rel="attachment wp-att-461"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/SANY0125web-225x300.jpg" alt="All good! 28.4kgs in 33 weeks." title="Stephanie Hanrahan and Chris Reid. Coogee beach 15th August 2009" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-461" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">All good! 28.4kgs in 33 weeks.</p></div>
<p><strong>The numbers&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Since I first met Steph on the 27th of December 2008 until now Saturday the 15th of August 2009 she has dropped from 135.9kgs to 107.5kgs (28.4kgs) and lost a total of 118cms from her chest, midrif, waist, tummy, hips and thigh.</p>
<p>When I asked her &#8220;What was the method that you used to lose a steady 3.5kgs a month?&#8221;</p>
<p>She replied, &#8220;For the first 3 weeks of the month I take 2 Herbalife shakes a day with added protein and eat only one meal of whatever I want. And i try to make that a healthy one. And then I have 1 shake every breakfast and 2 meals and I find that the Herbalife nutritional shake mix suppresses my appetite enough throughout the day that I dont over eat on my main meals.&#8221; </p>
<p>Stephanie also does a lot of exercise. She canoes, rows, bikes, hikes alot and lives an active lifestyle travelling all over Australia and the world for her job. (she asked me not to mention her employers name)</p>
<p>Recently in Morocco for a conference that included caterering for all the attendees, she found that she was better able to control her appetite as the Herbalife shakes made her feel nourished and satisfied.</p>
<p>Driving Steph back to the city so she could continue on her siteseeing we talked about how she was progressing when she said, &#8220;when I lose another 7 kgs, I&#8217;m going on a shopping spree.&#8221;</p>
<p>And I think that you will do it Stephanie. Keep up the great work and I&#8217;ll see you for your next appointment weigh and measurements soon.</p>
<p>Chris Reid.</p>
<p><strong>Four Meetings</strong></p>
<p>I have met with Stephanie 4 times now and taken her measurements each time. Here are her numbers.</p>
<p> <div id="attachment_481" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://christopher-reid.com/another-7-kilos-to-lose/sany0143" rel="attachment wp-att-481"><img src="http://christopher-reid.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/SANY0143-225x300.jpg" alt="The Numbers Tell The Story." title="Client Care Journal Of Stephanie" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-481" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Numbers Tell The Story.</p></div><br />
<font color="red">If you click on the picture you should be able to see it clearer.</font></p>
<p>Why is it that some people like Stephanie are just going to get the job of losing the weight they need to lose to be healthy, while others never even try? </p>
<p>&#8220;Its just the way it is!&#8221; Jim Rohn would say.

<p>Every guy who would like to <strong>build a bigger chest</strong> has tried many and varied methods to build a bigger more massive chest.</p>
<p>There really is no secret to the fact that you need to work out hard and consistantly over a long period of time. </p>
<p>HOWEVER there is a TOP SECRET method that the top body builders keep to themselves or only share with exclusive clients.</p>
<p>I have not tested this TOP SECRET method to <strong>build a bigger chest</strong> but it makes sense to me that it will work AND I do not see ANYBODY at my local fitness first gym doing this.</p>
<p>I would like to add some disclaimers here.<br />
1) I have not yet tested this or researched the validity of this. It may NOT work!<br />
2) It could be potentially dangerous, so get some advice from your local gym instructors before attempting this.<br />
3) I take no responsibility for any injuries gained during, after or ever for your attempting this exercise.</p>

Key mindset shifts to create successful outcomes in your business.

<p><strong>Key mindset shifts to create successful outcomes in your business.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://christopher-reid.com/4-simple-mindset-techniques-to-successful-online-marketing"><em>Click here to view the embedded video.</em></a></p>
<p><strong>1) I am being paid for the results that I achieve, not for the amount of work that I do.</strong> When you realise that you no longer get paid for the work that you do, and focus more on producing tangible results for the customer, then you will get paid according to the value those results bring to other people’s lives. </p>
<p>In the information age that our society has now entered, it is no longer acceptable (if you want wealth and abundance) to simply turn in some work and hold out your hand and expect to be paid. If what you do is valuable in the eyes of your customer, then you will be paid accordingly.</p>
<p><strong>2) When <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a> your product, focus on selling the results!</strong> Whether it is a weight loss product or an information product on how to build a chicken coop in the back yard your job is not to sell the product itself, but to <strong>“sell the results”</strong> that it will bring. People don’t buy your ebook or your weight loss products they buy the results they will receive from using it. </p>
<p>As an example <strong>“I’m not buying your ebook on weight loss, I’m buying your ebook on how to lose 10 pounds!”</strong> In all of your <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a> you must always be thinking “what are the benefits to the customer?” Sell results and benefits that resonate with your customers needs.</p>
<p><strong>3) If you are new to <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a> or online business, then simply focus on ‘getting it’ to begin with and not on trying to ‘hit a home run.’</strong>  Invest at least one hour a day into studying and learning more about <a href="http://christopher-reid.com/internetmarketing,networkmarketing,socialmediamarketing,personaldevelopment,successandachievement,twitter,facebook,onlinemarketing/marketing" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag nofollow" title="Posts tagged with marketing">marketing</a>, mindset and making money and on understanding the needs of your customer, and everything that you do will flow a lot easier and resonate with more people at a deeper level. </p>
<p>Have the mindset that you will ‘Eliminate failure’ by learning from it. When you strive to achieve anything in life inevitably you will stumble, stub your toes and sometimes fail miserably. These are fantastic learning experiences that are IMMENSLY valuable. In fact they are so valuable that you would have to pay BIG BUCKs to buy someone’s ebook or training course on how to avoid that mistake. HINT HINT!! The key is <strong>“The more you invest in your learning, the better of you are going to be.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>4) Become a marketer not an expert.</strong> Experts always seem to have a lot of knowledge about their particular topic but no money! Have you noticed that? Take a look at college professors and the like. They studied their subjects their whole lives but didn’t learn how to get what they know into the hands of the ‘masses.’  On the other hand, a professional marketer who is ‘compassionate’ towards his customers, and understands their needs and desires, makes LOADS of money and friends! </p>
<p>So you don’t need to become the expert in your field, you need to find the EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS that drive your customers buying habits and demonstrate the RESULTS they will receive from your products. </p>
<p>Getting clear about your outcome is one of the most important tasks to being successful. So RIGHT NOW, take a piece of paper and in ONE sentence write down what it is you are trying to learn by being here today.  As an example I would write, “ To learn how to become an AWESOME marketer by creating valuable information products that people enjoy!”</p>
<p>Then once you have your sentence written, <strong>go ahead and add it as a comment to this post below for everyone to read! </strong>Your value will increase immensely just by doing this one task, so go ahead. </p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you find it valuable and would like to share this with others, go ahead and forward it using the social buttons below.</p>
<p>Have a nice day</p>

<p>Wanting a <strong>slimmer and sexier body</strong> is not out of reach for anybody! Many millions of people have succeeded and will continue to succeed in sculpting their physiques to make them look healthy and desirable.<br />
However, this end is not attained in just a snap of the fingers or in skipping your nightly dinner. For many people though, patience is not a virtue. They seem not to be able to put as much attention, time and money they realistically need to get the body they have always wanted.<br />
As a result, these people resort to rapid weight loss practices and programs which may not be as effective as these people are led to believe they are.<br />
Fast-track diets are one of these rapid weight loss practices which may not be as inviting as they seem according to research. Fast-track diet programs, as scientific research shows, are only good while they last.<br />
Rapid weight loss often results ironically, to rapid weight gain. people who undergo low carbohydrate or low calorie diets normally revert back to old eating habits simply because human beings can not actually live on with this type of diet scheme for the rest of their lives.<br />
Now there is also scientific research showing that rapid weight loss does not imply an individual is losing unwanted excess fat; it is commonly water and muscle that is lost when one follows rapid weight loss practices.<br />
This could cause certain alarm but actually, water lost is regained very quickly. So there is actually zero net weight lost after all. So you should not be so gullible with the advertising of certain diet pills out there in the market; especially those which claim to aid in losing a whopping amount of fat in a short time. They will only dehydrate the body. These methods you find may help to lose weight fast, but they can be extremely harmfull to your health.<br />
And just so it is clear, the body can only lose (1 kilo) (two pounds) of fat per week healthily, and you would be exceptionally lucky or very fat if you were able to lose three or more, but normally, it&#8217;s just two pounds.<br />
Another rapid weight loss product out in the market is the slimming soap. They claim that you will lose weight fast with these soaps because they are made from a unique concoction of rare chinese herbs and seaweed. They claim to help people who use them to shed the excess body fats by emulsifying them, upon application, while taking a bath.<br />
Some are even specialized like those which promise to give the user &#8220;beautiful thighs&#8221;. The ingredients may prove to improve the quality of the skin but no research has ever come up yet which proves the efficacy of these ingredients in emulsifying excess body fats.<br />
One more rapid weight loss product out there in the market that promises to suppress hunger and at the same time help increase the body&#8217;s metabolic rate. It also claims to be able to accelerate the healing process and reduce certain body pains, all these plus its a very chic fashion accessorie. Well they are actually called magnetic weight loss earrings.<br />
The secret of this set of earrings is in the magnet, so it says. Wearing them near the ears balances the magnetism in the body therefore one will experience all the above mentioned effects. Though press releases say that there are actually &#8220;studies&#8221; to back these assertions up, nothing yet is found in medical journals.<br />
Though buying a set may not kill a person, it&#8217;s probably not a wise investment. You might as well wear a horse shoe earring for a more exquisite fashion statement.<br />
Bottom line is &#8220;no pain, no gain&#8221;. If you want a beautiful body and want to do it using the best way to lose weight fast, then the answer is you must sweat it out. And as for all those products coming out on the market claiming to be the best way to lose weight fast, then if they are too good to be true, its because they probably are not. </p>

<p>When looking at the best ways to <strong>lose weight fast</strong>, you must take some important considerations into account, because other than your physical appearance, your weight can effect you in many different ways. From the overall quality of your life to self-esteem, depression, health risks, and physical incapabilities, your weight can play an important factor in all of these areas. </p>
<p>There are a lot of positive health benefits you recieve once you start to experience weight loss however trying to <strong>lose weight fast</strong> using unsafe and unhealthy practices can actually have the reverse effect of what you really were looking for. </p>
<p>It is for this reason that people just like you, from all over the world, are forever searching for SAFE and HEALTHY weight loss techniques that will help trim down the unhealthy fatty areas and create a super slim, muscle defined body without destroying your health. </p>
<p>The first thing that you should do when wanting to lose weight fast and you are of extreme weight is to seek a full physical examination. This will help in determining the condition of the heart and lungs and body before starting on any physically demanding weight loss techniques. </p>
<p>In order for you to lose weight fast and effectively, four key aspects of your life will need to be changed. <em>They are: what you eat, how you eat, your behavior or habits and activity levels.</em> </p>
<p>Here are some fast start tips that can change your life immediatly: </p>
<p><strong>First: </strong>Being able to lose weight fast composes of a multi-faceted technique that combines mindset, exercise, diet and <a href="http://www.Million-Pound-Mission.com">supplementation. </a>Begin by preparing a diet food plan that you can easily get accustomed with. (one is available in the Free ezine below) Also incorporate an exercise plan that allows at least 30 minutes a day of running or bike riding, and weightlifting.(exercise plan also available in Free ezine below) </p>
<p><strong>Second: </strong>Set realistic approaches. The ability to focus and have proper mindset enables someone on a diet to quickly lose those extra (kilos) (pounds). With discipline and a proper mind set, you will never be discouraged and lose focus. </p>
<p><strong>Third:</strong> Listen as your body speaks. Everyone&#8217;s body metabolism reacts differently to different fast weight loss programs and plans. Try substituting one program for another to compensate the body&#8217;s reaction. Exercise programs must be suitable to your body, as you may not be able to exercise as rigorously as others can. If walking is all that can be done, then start with walking. Since muscles burn more calories than your fat does it&#8217;s also best to put on lean muscle which also helps you to look good too. </p>
<p><strong>Fourth:</strong> Eat more fiber foods as it makes you fuller sooner and stays in the tummy longer, slowing down the rate of digestion. A single serving of whole grain bread moves fat through the digestive system faster. Grains turn into blood sugar that spikes the body&#8217;s insulin level. Thus, making the body more energized and ready to tell the body when it should stop burning fats or start storing. </p>
<p><strong>Fifth:</strong> Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as this contains a large amount of fat. Although fish and chicken are leaner than beef, white meat can contain more fat than beef when it is fried. It is recommended for those on a strict diet to opt for grilled food as this contains the least amount of fat after the food is cooked. </p>
<p><strong>Sixth:</strong> Takes lots of fluid. Drinking at least six to eight glasses of water a day keeps the body refreshed. Since weight loss largly depends on how the body eliminates body wastes, the body must stay hydrated. </p>
<p><strong>Seventh:</strong> Color up your plate with healthy,fresh fruits and vegetables. Don&#8217;t overdo it though. Its a lot easier to lose weight by taking a good QUALITY supplement than it is to eat 2 apples 3 oranges 1 banana every day. </p>
<p>All in all, discipline and consistency is still the best practice (&#8220;key&#8221;) to being able to <strong>lose weight fast</strong>. Light dieting, a good amount of exercise and <a href="http://www.Million-Pound-Mission.com">the right supplements</a> applied in a regular way everyday will result in you being able to lose weight fast AND stay healthy! You want to be looking healthy and feeling great and not be someone who has a massive action fit followed shortly after by a return to the same old habits as before. This would only lead to gaining more weight than when the weight loss plan had even started. </p>

<p>There are many great benefits you gain by <strong>losing weight</strong> and shedding excesss body fat. Though I agree that losing weight is not always easy, you cannot argue that the long term positive health effects you gain by doing it gives tremendous relief to your body which has been STUGGLING for too long trying to keep you alive! </p>
<p>When you start on a <a href="http://www.Million-Pound-Mission.com">weight loss program</a>, you start feeling better almost immediately and simply by STICKING to a good diet and exercise plan you should actually come to ENJOY the body and person who is transforming from the old you into the NEW!! </p>
<p>The following are just 5 Fantastic Benefits you&#8217;ll recieve from losing that excess weight. </p>
<p><strong>1) Weight loss can prevent high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke </strong><br />
That is a three in one benefit from losing weight. It is a fact that heart disease and stroke are one of the primary reasons for disability and death in both men and women in the western world. </p>
<p>People who are overweight are at a higher risk of having high levels of cholesterol in their blood stream as well as triglycerides (also known as blood fat). </p>
<p>Angina, one type of heart disease, could cause chest pains as well as a decrease in the oxygen pumped to the heart. </p>
<p>Sudden death also occurs from heart disease and stroke, and usually this strikes with very little warning, signs and symptoms. </p>
<p>It is a fact that by decreasing your weight by a mere five to ten percent, this could positively decrease the chances of you having or developing heart disease or a stroke. Plus, how your heart functions would also improve as well as your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride count will decrease. </p>
<p><strong>2) Weight loss can prevent type 2 diabetes </strong><br />
Diabetes puts in jeopardy one’s life as well as how one leads his or her life because of the complications that result from having it. Both types of diabetes, type one and type two are linked with being overweight. </p>
<p>To those who already have diabetes, regular exercise and losing weight could help in controlling your blood sugar levels as well as the medication you may be currently taking. You should increase your physical activity. Simply walk, jog or dance. Or take up a sport. It helps get those blood streams moving as well as lose those unnecessary (kilos) (pounds). </p>
<p><strong>3) Weight loss can help reduce your risk of cancer </strong><br />
Being overweight is linked with a number of cancers. Specially for women, the common types of cancer that is associated with being overweight includes cancer of the uterus, gallbladder, ovary, breast, and colon. </p>
<p>This is not meant to scare you by the way, this is only to keep you informed. Men are at risk too from developing cancer if they are overweight. These include cancer of the colon, prostate and rectum. Extra weight, a diet high in fat and cholesterol should as much as possible be avoided. In fact &#8220;get rid of it!&#8221; </p>
<p><strong>4) Weight loss can reduce sleep apnea </strong><br />
Or it could eliminate it all together. Sleep apnea is a condition wherein one could temporarily stop breathing for a brief period and then would continue to snore heavily. Sleep apnea could cause drowsiness or sleepiness during the day and – because of being overweight – could result in heart failure. Shedding those excess (kilos) (pounds) could help in eliminating this problem. </p>
<p><strong>5) Weight loss can reduce the pain of osteoarthritis </strong><br />
When one weighs heavily, the joints of his or her knees, hips and lower back would have to exert double – if not triple – effort to carry him or her through out his / her waking, walking and moving life. This could cause tension and stress on these joints. Weight loss decreases the load these joints carry thus decreasing – if not eliminating – the pain of one who has osteoarthritis. </p>
