Fast and Furious today! See below for status updates...
ERP Nutrition: Samples were just shipped yesterday, judging by the tracking number and details on the UPS website. At least I know they're on the way. Drew also assured me that the new formulas will be ready by the time I leave. I suppose we shall see.
Real Estate: It looks like I have found some substantial funding. More on this as the details present themselves and I can determine if it's a good course of action but a trip to Memphis may be in order.
Website: WWW.MYDETOXSOULUTIONS.COM
We have our first stage almost complete, made first payment on the work, picked the fulfillment house, have our campaign management ready to go, and our payment platform chosen as well. All that's left is to finish our part, the content, submit that to Kinkar and then wait for the finish date.... April 30th!
We also have to decide on our supplier which I intend on having that all buttoned up by the time I leave to go to Mexico on Sunday morning.

Healthy ME
Yup... almost puked again! Driving to work I thought I was going to let her buck! It was a tough one and I am absolutely exhausted now! We have moved to 7:00 am start time at work so it's a go go go type of routine in the morning now for me. No rest!
Legs and Triceps today! Nothing new or out of the ordinary really!

The Rest...
Other accomplishments for the day:
I made contact with a private finance guy in the states and he's looking into seeing what kind of financing options he may have to offer to me. We'll see what come of that.
I have also been really hitting up the networking on Facebook. I have added another 40-50 contacts for real estate investing all over the US and Canada over the last week or so. Word to the wise: be careful, facebook does not like you adding random people in an over abundance. I was warned! HAHA
Over the next 6 days I am going to try and message some of these people and see what kind of networking opportunities we can come up with.
I emailed my ERP Nutrition guy the following message:
Drew,
Here's the time line I am looking at. I leave for Mexico on Saturday night. I would like to have the following completed by then.
1. Have the multi-vitamin formula completed and ready for manufacturing
2. Have the official formula for the energy/fat burner pills.
3. Receive the samples which I was promised over 2 weeks ago now.
4. Have label mock ups made.
5. Container prototypes
I looked back and noticed that we started our dialogue 2 months ago now and all we have is a label. I am by no means blaming this all on you but I also see that to make sure I meet certain time lines, I need to see progress, which has been minimal as of late.
I enjoy dealing with you Drew and I think you are very capable of meeting these requests but if for whatever reason you feel they are unreasonable please present a more agreeable time line based on your expectations.
Thank you
Scott
I thought it was a good one. I stroked his ego just enough but I also made sure I sounded like I meant business!
He emailed me back and asked when I return from Mexico... I told him the 30th and I have yet to hear from him. More to come...

Website
For this site to work the way I envision it and the way it has already worked for Daniel, there are 5 elements we need to implement to ensure success.
These are:
Product Supply
Website Design
Campaign Management
Fulfillment Services
Self Confidence/belief
Product supply: This is where we choose our product which we are going to offer. I mentioned before that I found our detox foot pads at www.alibaba.com. You can find absolutely anything there. Anything! I would suggest deciding on a subject that interests you and searching it on alibaba. Email a few distributors and ask them about:
Product Cost
Shipping Cost
Max. Orders
Min. Orders
Shipping Time
Product information or ingredients
Product Pictures
If the product is approved by your target market's governing agencies
There are plenty more questions you may want to ask as well but these are some that I found were vital when researching a product distributor or manufacturer.
Website Design: As I said yesterday, Kinkar is working away on it as you read this. He is in the initial design phase and as we proceed I will update.
Campaign Management: This could be the most important factor in our success with this project. A campaign management service is the driving force behind your presence on the internet. They will aid you in your quest to get the word out about Detox Foot Pads!
I had Kathy from ROI Revolution provide this brief description of what their service provides:
Fulfillment Services: I don't know about you, but the idea of boxing up 10's, and soon, 100's of boxes of Detox Foot Pads and shipping them out, really doesn't appeal to me. The whole reason I'm doing this is to create freedom, not more shackles!
Enter Fulfillment House Here!
A fulfillment house will receive your product from the manufacturer, store, pick your orders as they are ordered, box the order and ship it to the customer for you. The become your own complete warehouse!
Once Kinkar has comepleted the design, he will link the shopping cart system to the fine men at AtLast Fulfillment and they will automatically receive the orders, pick and pack the orders, and then ship it to the customer all for a very reasonable cost.
Self Confidence / Belief: As I always talk about, this is where everything both begins and ends. Self belief is the biggest factor in determining success. If you believe that this is going to be too hard or not sure that your product will sell, it won't! If you believe in the people around you and what you are doing and that you ARE going to SUCCEED... YOU WILL!
Give yourself an opportunity to be a winner. Already picture yourself on the podium as the best in your event.
If your event is downhill skiing, picture yourself having the fastest, cleanest run and raising your arms in victory as you cross the finish line.
If your event is the 100m dash, picture yourself as the powerfully graceful champion who tears first through that ribbon!
If your event is online sales / marketing, picture yourself collecting that steady stream of income created by your creativity and working with some amazing people. Picture yourself quitting your job to spend more time with family and friends because you have a money making machine that you have placed on autopilot, doing all the work for you. Take that vacation, buy that car, give to that favorite charity and then offer to show the person standing next to you... how you changed your life!

I had Kathy from ROI Revolution provide this brief description of what their service provides:
Thank you for your email!
I’d be glad to put our services in laymen’s terms below.
The core of our business is tracking the traffic we’re sending to your site from AdWords with Google Analytics.
Google AdWords is the majority of the online search market and this is where we focus our work at first by building the campaigns composed of many relevant keywords and also negative (terms that you wouldn’t want to show for). We also write the ads that will show up for these keywords making everything relevant to your landing page. We track all of this with Google Analytics which allows us to know which keywords and ad text sells the best and also which are not worthwhile.
Basically we’re getting you as much profitable traffic as possible. We have a lot of experience in qualifying visitors based on what they type in and what ad text shows. Our experience also extends to tracking many different websites to ensure the data is correct
Your team here would include 3 people:
1. Your Relationship & Strategy Manager who directs the progress of your account based on your business goals.
2. Your Google Analytics Consultant who oversees the tracking of all the data for your site.
3. Your AdWords Account Manager who builds out your AdWords campaigns.
There are quite a few details to keep track of in a process like this and especially with all of the changes Google continually makes. As an AdWords Qualified Company we maintain a close relationship with Google so we are prepared for any changes.
Fulfillment Services: I don't know about you, but the idea of boxing up 10's, and soon, 100's of boxes of Detox Foot Pads and shipping them out, really doesn't appeal to me. The whole reason I'm doing this is to create freedom, not more shackles!

Healthy ME
HEalthy Me is still going really well. I am not having a hard time following certain eating habits or the exercise demands I have placed on myself. I feel good every morning even though it is a little tough to get up on some mornings.
Throughout the day I am not struggling with energy levels ever. It's actually been better.
The thing I love most about working out is the energy and momentum you get from a good workout that stays with you for the rest of the day! After a good, hard workout, you feel like you can accomplish anything and you're ready to take on whatever the day has to offer. Things that used to be difficult, don't seem so hard any longer. That's what I love... the confidence you get from a stronger, faster, healthier body!
Below is the ab workout I have been doing at home in the morning. I do all 5 movements with no rest between movements. I take a 2 minute break and then complete the circuit a second time.
Let me know what you think.

Ok.... OK! I know Donny! IT's been a while... but it has been a very busy week! Let's have a look...
Website:
We decided to go for Detox foot pads! Yeah... that's right.... your opinion apparently means nothing! ;)
We made contact with a website developer from India named Kinkar. Now, obviously I was a little concerned about potential language barrier issues but, I'm happy to report that Kinkar speaks fluent English. We discussed what I was looking for and expectations in terms of timelines and functionality. Below is our timeline:
*Milestone I: (Design Phase) ( 5 Days )*
Scope Review & Finalization
Mockup Finalization
HTML of the Home page.
*Milestone II: (Integration Phase) ( 20 Days )*
Database Design
Front-end Coding ( Payment Gateway & Shipping Gateway
Information Required )
Back-end Coding ( Intelli-Chat & Live Face Information Required )
Administrative Panel integration
*Milestone III: (Testing Phase) ( 4 Days )*
De-bugging ( Hosting Server Information Required )
Project Completion Review
Delivery/Transfer of Website
As of right now we are in the middle of phase I. As we work through the different phases I will post more information. As of right now, in phase I, Kinkar and his team are putting together the basic mockup "look" to the site and then when they are done, we will approve and move ahead.
As you saw earlier in the week, We have a label for our PRIMER Whey Protein. By the end of the week I want to achieve the following goals for ERP Nutrition:
1. Have the multi vitamin formula completed and ready for manufacturing
2. Have the official formula for the energy/fat burner pills.
3. Recieve the samples which I was promised over 2 weeks ago now.
4. Decide on names for the multivitamin and energy pills.
5. Have label mockups made
If any of the 5 goals are not reached by the time I fly out of Edmonton International Airport at 6:00 am on the morning of March 22, 2008, we will be going to our second choice to do our private labelling.
Chew on all that for now...

It was a great day today! First of all... as you can see I finally have made some progress with the supplements. We have a label!! PRIMER Whey Protein! Available Soon! ;)
I also have "skidded" my marketing guy because he was in la la land, not getting anywhere so I contacted a guy by the name of Josh who has worked with my brother in the past. His site can be found at:
www.idreamdigital.com
Some nice stuff he has on there so I am really looking forward to seeing what he can create for ERP Nutrition.
I also have made contact with a gentleman in India, who will be creating our foot pad (i know, yet to be determined) website. I never really realized how much pre planning is involved before a stitch of code is ready to be typed. Functionality? What the heck does that mean? Anyways... the conversation has started and hopefully we can get moving soon. I do already have a supplier and I also contacted a fulfillment house who will be handling all my order picking, shipping and handling. I also contacted the company that will be optimizing and advertising my site for me... All of this on my 30 minute lunch hour! How's that for productivity?!
Last night I also researched a bunch of houses. It seems like more and more amazing deals pop up every day in Memphis. It has huge opportunity for those who can recognize it. I magine spending $25,000- $30,000 and create $700-$850 a month cashflow... EVERY MONTH! For as long as you want to keep it. Not to mention these houses are valued at anywhere between $60,000 and $90,000 giving you up to $60,000 in equity immediately!!

Mentoring Phone Call
Diane and I got down to more of the nuts and bolts behind finding funding and Joint Venture (JV) partners. She mentioned placing ads in the free listings sites, stating the the numbers that would bring people to you. So basically sticking the carrot out there to lure in the investment capital. So over the next couple of weeks I will post some of the properties I can get under contract and how much money people can expect to make off of these properties. Watch for the first of these properties later today!
She also provided me with some valuable legal documents. A purchase agreement, a non circumvention agreement and a Joint Venture agreement. These will be posted for you to have a look at.
She also gave me the contact information for a gentleman in the states who can set up an American bank account for me without me having to actually go down to the states and sign the paperwork, as I described in an earlier post. NICE! Gotta love that convenience! His name is Guy Vichnel and I am hoping to speak with him by the end of the day today!
We also discussed another strategy to try. She helped a previous student accomplish creating a business based on this strategy. Basically, you create a webpage and on that webpage you say:
"Need to Sell a House This Week? You're in the right place. We buy houses fast!

WE SOLVE PROBLEMS! Our goal is to help people get into properties they want or to help people get out of properties they either don't want or can no longer keep."
OR

Detox Foot Pads
Detox patches are the rage in Asia with million sold every month. It took Japanese scientists over 24 years to develop the technology. So, it is safe and simple to use. While it appears the majority of users are applying the patches to the bottoms of their feet, many are finding uses on other parts of their bodies as well. Now, you can purchase our amazing product - Detox Foot Patches - in the US. Detox Foot Patches are an all-natural product that amazingly extracts heavy metals and other forms of toxins from your system while you sleep.
Detox Foot Patches are an amazing combination of two powerful components.
Detox Foot Patches are an amazing combination of two powerful components.
Detox Foot Patches contain Brazilian Tourmaline, a crystal silicate mineral compounded containing elements such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium mineral. Tourmaline is prized as a semi-precious stone and comes in a wide variety of colors. But, while the semi-precious gem status increases the gemological value, it is the mineral aspects that are of interest to us and has become the focus of research at universities and research centers worldwide.
It is believed that infrared Tourmaline is the only single mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth. It is also a natural source of negative ions and far infrared (FIR) rays. Because of FIR rays, it is believed that Tourmaline can directly interact with the human body just like light does, reach well into subcutaneous layers of the body with its deep penetration ability causing internal warmth and, once illuminated, can cause natural vibration of water, protein, fat and enzymes. To put it simply, in many cultures, Tourmaline is believed to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8). FIR rays also generates negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that are abundant in certain environments like mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once in the bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of serotonin, a mood elevator, helping to relieve stress, boost our daytime energy and allow us to get a good night's sleep.
Detox Foot Patches also contain a wood vinegar also called pyroligneous acid. Wood vinegar is the fluid or sap from trees that has been distilled into a dry powder. Chinese medicine has long used the fluid from trees for it's perceived sterilizing properties and for it's use in physiotherapy to relieve minor pain and selling. As was reported in the Journal of Immunity, “The benefits I noticed are deeper and more restful sleep, better sense of well being the next day, joints feel more limber.” (Journal of Immunity, Vol 1 No 3, Oct-Dec 2003).
While the majority of users apply the adhesive Detox Foot Patch to the bottoms of the feet, the patches may be applied to many parts of the body. The foot is the most common place to apply the patches because according to the study of Reflexology, the various spots on the bottom and sides of the feet affect the well-being of the person. In addition, the feet are not subject to the daily environments most body parts are, thus making them more sensitive and responsive to treatments. The charts to the right shows you how, according to the study of reflexology, areas on the feet relate to specific organs in the body and how pressure points can be used to increase blood to those regions. So, use your best judgement and experiment trying Detox Patches on your feet and other part of your body to get the best results for you.
Why am I in a Hotel?
Well, on days off my land lady called me. I never answered and she left me a message. After the meeting I was in finished up, I checked the message:
"Hi Scott, it's Brandie. Sorry to bug you on your days off but, I had to go into the rental suite today. I just wanted to let you know. When I got in there, I heard a noise coming from the crawlspace so I opened the trap door to find water rushing in at an alarming rate! I called a family friend and they came over to help me and I'm not sure what's going to happen but I just wanted to let you know what was happening. Call me when you can!"
"GREAT!" with an abundance of sarcasm, was my reaction!
"What am I going to do now?" Hotels and dogs don't usually go hand in hand and the hotel I know that allow dogs, goes at a rate of $120/night! I started to panic!
Then the thought came through my mind, "this is exactly what I always tell people all the time, not to do! I tell people to not focus on the bad or it will bring more bad. Focus on good and creative ways to solve the problem instead of perpetuating it." So I changed my thinking instantly and enjoyed the rest of my days off, knowing a solution would either work itself out, or it would manifest itself to me and inspire me to take action when I needed to.
To make a long story short-er, I came back up to Dawson and stayed in a hotel until tonite, which will be my third night, and tomorrow we go back to the rental unit. Thankfully the water never raised above the opening of the trap door down to the crawlspace and no water was able to enter the living space. The restoration company was able to come and clean it up and we are no longer orphans away from home!

Healthy ME - Today
So today I decided to add a little something to the routine. I was up at 4:30 again and did a 15 minute ab routine as soon as I woke up. Really helped me to wake up and get going. Then I wrote down my goals that I wanted to accomplish today (as of noon I 80% complete already! More to come on this later) and I took Jax for a nice 10 minute walk! Then, off to the gym!
Today was Chest and Biceps again and since I already worked my abs at my hotel room (Yes! Hotel room! I'll discuss this later too!) I just focused on Chest and Biceps with minimal ab movements.
Incline Barbell Chest Press
4 sets of 10-12 reps
Straight Barbell Curls

Healthy ME - Day.... ummm... Today!
Even though I was up until almost midnite, the first day back in Dawson, I got up at 4:30 am and got right back on track with the "Healthy ME" routine. I did go to the gym 5 days while I was at home but to be honest... I slacked! The intensity wasn't really there. It wasn't a total waste of time but I could have done better!
This morning was Legs and Triceps. I started with Jump Squats and did 5 sets and then did the wall sits and stair lunges. Check it out....
Stair Exercises: Lunge with Arm -- powered by ExpertVillage.com
For people looking to push it a little harder, try 30 pound dumbells and prior to doing lunges, do a wall sit for 30-45 seconds (shown below). You will feel the burn... TRUST ME!

Make sure to keep your knees bent at 90 degrees!
I did 3 different tricep movements which I will share with you the next time I do legs. I also did some calf raises to finish up.

POST # 100
Apparently we missed post number 100! Wow! That's crazy! Just over 2 months! Sure I haven't really made anything yet but I am on the cusp of doing some great things! One thing I have noticed is I think I have gotten myself into a situation where I have experienced "paralysis by analysis"! What that means is, I am analyzing too much and not moving forward. I need to trust my intuition and, like Nike tells us, JUST DO IT!
So in the next 30 days, there will be some major steps taken. Stay tuned to see. The next 100 posts are going to be very interesting, you won't want to miss it!

ERP Nutrition
Supplement line you ask? What happened while I was gone in regards to that? NOTHING!!
I was expecting to get my samples in the mail but apparently due to downsizing, my contact is run off his rocker and has a lot on his plate right now. He is dealing with multi hundred thousand dollar contracts as well as piddly little old me, so he is run a little ragged right now.
Bottom line is I need to see progress here. I have set a time frame for him to get me answers and see progress or else I take the idea elsewhere!
I know, I AM tough! I DO play hardball! HAHAHA
Honestly, I would prefer to go ahead with these guys. Drew, my contact is actually a good guy and an American who actually loves hockey so, he can't be all that bad! :P Bottom line is, if he can't get it done for me, I will have to find someone who will.
Anyways... anyone who was waiting for free samples may have to wait a little longer but it's on the way!
I will update as it progresses!

Ok... Ok I know... it's been a while. I just got back up to Dawson Creek yesterday (Wednesday). I spent the week at home running around, making phone calls, meeting up with people and wow... there is a lot to share. It may take me a couple of days to run it all done but here we go.
I have mentioned that I have set up my American corporation to make it possible for me to invest in the States. The papers have been sent away and I heard back from my contact saying that it's just a matter of time before that's all said and done so when I receive my articles, I'll scan and post them.
She also mentioned that it's not so hard for a canadian to get an american bank account now. She gave me the name of her contact and said that she has already started the wheels in motion there. All I have to do, is find some time to get down to any branch across the states and sign the paperwork. I believe the name of the bank is Washington Mutual.
I researched a bunch more properties which I will post over the next couple of days and Chris Peak has sent me a bunch to have a look at as well.
The most exciting thing that happened over the last week and a bit was I had a couple sit downs with a young man who is making quite a killing on the internet. He markets teeth whitening products to the American market and is doing quite well with it. He agreed to, in a way, apprentice me through the process he used to set up his business. The potential here is massive!
Looking at his numbers, dividing them in half, because I am so technologically inept, as we have seen... It is a situation that could help finance our real estate endeavors, therefore releiving us of any financing requirements.
I will expand on this more in the coming days...
Other than that, I also did some work for FHTM and had a bunch of phone calls but those would be the highlights of the week! Back in Dawson and ready to get to work! Mentoring phone call for the week is tonite! Let's see what we come up with!
