Couples who have only been together for a few months have no trouble trying to turn each other on. There is a certain aspect of lust and excitement that sticks with the relationship, making relations simple and easy. As relationships grow, however, men and women need to work on sparking that passion in their relationship.

Many fail to realize that a simple word or phrase can turn someone on. These five different phrases will teach you what to say to turn your boyfriend on. You can simply use one of these phrases to get the passion flowing; use a combination of these phrases to really turn him on.

You’re Hot

This simple, two word phrase can do wonders for your relationship. By telling your boyfriend that you think he is hot, you are telling him that you are physically attracted to him. This gives a confidence boost to your boyfriend, helping him to feel wanted and sexy. When a man feels sexy, he is going to be turned on.

You’ve Been Working Out

If your boyfriend has been working out on a regular basis, acknowledge it. Telling your boyfriend that you have noticed the changes to his body will help him to feel confident and accomplished. When a man feels confident, he will be turned on.

I Want to Be On You

There is nothing sexier than a woman who takes charge in the relationship. Men often feel as if they are the instigator in the relationship. By telling your man that you want to be on him, he will feel wanted, sexy, and confident. As mentioned before, this combination will help to turn your man on.

Anything On a Text

Sexting is one of the latest trends, gaining popularity because of the way that it makes both men and women feel. If your man is at work, text him a few sexual messages. Texting him different messages, including these tips, will help to turn him on when he least expects it.

I’ve Been Waiting For You

If you are waiting for your man to get home, be sure to greet him at the door. Tell your man that you have been waiting for him to get home in an excited and passionate way. This is another way of letting your man feel wanted and sexy, boosting his confidence and turning him on.

Some of these phrases may make you feel somewhat awkward and uncomfortable. There are plenty of women who are not used to saying some of these things to their boyfriend. No matter your feelings, you need to work to make these phrases sound sincere. If these phrases seem forced or insincere, they will not work. Practice saying these phrases in a mirror until you are comfortable with what to say to turn your boyfriend on.

On a call yesterday following the pyramid post, people wanted to know what to say if, they’re presenting the business or product, someone pops the question,

“Is this a pyramid?”

Before you brainstorm over your winning comeback, how about a quick check to see whether 1) your company acts like one or not, or 2) if you are acting like one (without realizing it, of course)?

Here’s the question we discussed:

1. Is your business all about recruiting?

If so, you are acting like a pyramid, according to Rushkoff’s book, Coercion:

“a pyramid scheme is…[where] the need to subscribe newcomers outweighs whatever benefits the products or system has to offer. Many MLMs sell distributorships more than cosmetics [name your product or service – KK].”

Yes of course you want to recruit reps – but if that’s all you do, you are in the pyramid zone, because you give the impression that the product and customers don’t matter, except to sell distributorships.

Everyone quickly re-evaluated what they were doing to be sure they weren’t coming across like that.

All could see how a fixation on doing 1. above might give someone else the impression that “Yep, there goes one of those pyramid schemers.”

After a quick review of 9 different company pay plans (of distributors on the phone) it became clear – it’s true what the recruiters say: “There’s no money in customers. All the money’s in the recruiting.”

Company owners decide where to put the money they pay their reps. Say a network marketing company pays out to the field, 50% of what it takes in. They have complete disgression on how to divide that up – between paying for recruiting and amassing customers (for those companies that make the recruiter/customer distinction – and some don’t.)

So, how much were companies paying for getting customers (who were not also distributors)?

On product orders ranging from $85-120, some people reported getting paid from 0 – 7%. In one company, they got nothing on those customer orders if they hadn’t reached a certain position in the company based on their sales; and for other companies, the reps reported getting 5 or 6% for orders of $100. (A few paid more. List to be posted soon.)

Five bucks for a hundred dollar customer order?

There are much easier ways to make money than that!

However, for recruiting, we got much higher returns. With sign-up bonuses and fast start bonuses of $50-350 or more, for orders ranging from $300-1000.

Who else wouldn’t rather make $50 than $5 for making one sale? Big money in selling distributorships (which may include products). Versus getting just customers.

So yes, companies whose pay plans are weighted so much to recruiting are acting like a pyramid. Worse, they make their reps look like it too, since they want to get the most return they can for their time, and would rather make $50 than $5. Who wouldn’t?

Well, as they say, if it quacks like a….

Oh. What to say to that question, “Is this a pyramid” (or ‘one of those things’)? One option (we discussed several):

Let me tell you what we do, and you can call it whatever you want ok?

PAUSE

We market products directly to consumers, people like you and me, and we also find people who want to do that with us. You think you could do that if I showed you what to do?

(That’s from the Truth book.)

And yes, there are other options…for another post…send in yours that have helped. (Use ‘Comments’ below).

With the economic state we are currently in: even more unpredictable stock market returns, evaporating retirement nest eggs and the weakening of the dollar, it’s more difficult than ever to find a good long term investment. A lot of people only think of gold in terms of a piece of jewelry, but buying gold as an investment can be a very smart move.

As with all types of investments, your overall success will be closely tied to how much time you’re willing to put in. To make the most out of your investment you must be willing to do your homework. If not, you may not realize the outcome you were hoping for.

Take some time to learn all you can about buying and selling gold. Find out the history of trading gold as well as what the potential is for you as an investor. Ask questions and don’t just follow along blindly with what some ‘guru’ says to do. Knowledge is power, knowledge can also be profit.

You’ll also want to decide what type of gold to buy. For the smaller investor buying gold coins can be a good options. These coins can be bought in smaller numbers and since they are literally quite small they are easy to buy, move, store and you may even be able to sell them for more than just the price of the gold if the coin is older and more rare. Instead of just selling the gold you can get more money from the sale and value of the coin itself.

Next you will need to locate a dealer. Make sure that it is a good reliable and honest dealer. Many times you will have better and more options online, but it’s very important to only deal with someone you know and trust and sometimes having someone local can be a great idea. That way you can easily contact them if you have any questions or concerns.

If you don’t have a local dealer, it doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dream of investing in gold. You can easily find a dealer online. It’s even more important for you to carefully check out any dealer before you do business with them. There are many reliable and reputable dealers online, unfortunately there are also many scammers on the internet.

Make sure you do searches and only deal with the most reputable dealers around.

Don’t go overboard. Only invest what you can afford. Since you can buy gold in small sizes, as small as 1/20th of an ounce, you don’t have to pay big to get your foot in the door and become an investor. Since you can buy such a small size, you can start investing with only a small amount of money.

The small size of these coins does make it easy for them to be stolen. Make sure that you keep them in a safe place (and don’t blab about all the gold you have). Get either a safe or use a safe deposit box at your bank.

Buying gold as an investment can be a great hedge when stocks are not doing as well. Gold will almost always go up in value, just be willing to wait and don’t expect to make a killing overnight.

Psychotherapy
Psychology is the study of human behaviour. It seeks to look at the motivational drives within an individual and offer an explanation to the behaviour that is demonstrated.

Psychotherapy is the use and application of psychological knowledge to help people understand themselves and begin to make appropriate changes, or to be comfortable with who they are.

Psychotherapy has several different theoretical models that have developed over time, the most commonly known being psycho-analysis. The therapy that I practise uses some of the best ideas from these differing schools of thought in order to help people achieve not only a rapid rate of improvement but also a lasting one. It has its basis in a cognitive–analytical model that seeks to look at the process behind thought, and understand how it has developed, and of course how to change negative thought processes into positive ones.

Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a very effective method of treatment. It is a state of altered consciousness with increased and heightened awareness, which is often accompanied by deep relaxation; this in itself can be beneficial. Contrary to popular belief it does not involve becoming unconscious and has nothing to do with sleep.

Hypnosis cannot be forced upon people, but it is a state which people allow themselves to enter.

It is important to understand that, during hypnosis, people cannot be forced to do things that they would choose not to do. Hypnosis or “trance” as it is often referred to is similar to the experience of day dreaming, when you lose a sense of time and may without thought continue a task that routinely requires concentration, such as driving from one place to another but not actually remembering the journey. This is an example of an altered state of consciousness that we experience every day of our lives.

What is Hypno-psychotherapy?
Hypno-psychotherapy is the practice of psychotherapy with applied hypnosis being the primary approach. The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy, the lead body for the provision of Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom, recognises the practice of hypno-psychotherapy.

Both hypnotherapy and hypno-psychotherapy utilise hypnosis in a therapeutic form, however an individual that only practises as a hypnotherapist may not have undertaken training in psychotherapeutic theory and practice.

For therapists to be able to register with United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy requires an extensive programme of 4 years training.

Short courses of study that are readily available may give an insight into the techniques and practice of hypnosis, but they do not in themselves enable the practitioner to be able to address all forms of presenting problems.

It is strongly advised that anyone seeking any form of therapy investigates the qualifications and registrations of the practitioners they approach for treatment.

A United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy registered therapist will always provide information relating to their qualifications and registrations if requested.

Most people don’t know what agoraphobia is. Because of this, many people who get agoraphobia often take a year, and in some cases, many years, just finding out what is wrong with them. Since the panic and anxiety symptoms that come with agoraphobia are so physical, people who get agoraphobia commonly visit a succession of doctors trying in search of a diagnosis. Since medical doctors are not usually trained to diagnose agoraphobia, let alone anxiety disorders, agoraphobia has had time to become deeply rooted in most people before they know enough about the disorder to seek the proper treatment and being recovery. This article defines agoraphobia, describes its major symptoms, and offers a website as a resource for further information.

Most people have heard of most phobias. Mention claustrophobia, social phobia, or arachnophobia and everyone pretty much knows what you are talking about. Mention agoraphobia, and most people will just shake their heads.

Because of this, many people who get agoraphobia often take a year, and in some cases, many years, just finding out what is wrong with them. Since the panic and anxiety symptoms that come with agoraphobia are so physical, people who get agoraphobia commonly visit a succession of doctors trying in search of a diagnosis. Since medical doctors are not usually trained to diagnose agoraphobia, let alone anxiety disorders, agoraphobia has had time to become deeply rooted in most people before they know enough about the disorder to seek the proper treatment and being recovery.

In light of this, here are some basics about agoraphobia:

Agoraphobia is “anxiety about, or avoidance of, places or situations from which escape might be difficult (or embarrassing) or in which help may not be available in the event of having a panic attack or panic-like symptoms.” (DSM-IV)

Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder. The term “agoraphobia” comes from the Greek words agora (αγορά), meaning “marketplace,” and phobia (φόβος), meaning “fear.” Literally translated as “fear of the marketplace,” people with agoraphobia are afraid of open or public spaces.

In reality, most people with agoraphobia are not so much afraid of open and public places as they are afraid of having a panic attack in these settings, especially settings in which there may be no one to help in the case of a panic attack or actual emergency.

The most common symptoms of agoraphobia are:

1) Panic Attacks: Periods of intense fear, usually lasting about ten minutes or so (but sometimes longer).

2) Avoidance Behavior: Avoiding places and situations that are hard to escape from or that might be embarrassing to have to suddenly leave. Most commonly, this is because they fear having a panic attack or unexpected catastrophe and not being able to get help or get away.

3) Developing “Safe” People: People with whom the agoraphobic is highly familiar with and feels emotionally close to. “Safe” people are usually parents, spouses, children, or close friends and relatives.

4) Developing “Safe” Places: Places in which the agoraphobic feels psychologically comfortable. The most common safe place for someone with agoraphobia is his or her own home.

5) Scanning: Obsessive monitoring of one’s own body for strange or unusual symptoms.

6) Fear of being alone: This is related to the fear of having no one to help in the case of a panic attack or real emergency.

If you suspect that you or someone you know might have agoraphobia, don’t waste any time in learning about the disorder. Research has shown that the sooner you start the recovery process the more likely your chances of a successful recovery are.

You can learn more about agoraphobia online at the Agoraphobia Resource Center website. The site was started by a recovered agoraphobic with the intention of helping others learn about and recover from agoraphobia. You can find it on the web at:

A lot of people find themselves gaining weight very fast rate because of one of society’s biggest negative factors: depression. Depression can influence so many aspects of your life and gaining weight is usually one of the first signs of depression. People that suffer from depression usually suffer from weight gain as well and find comfort in eating food, especially their favorite foods, which usually ends up being all kinds of snacks and foods that are high in fats, sodium, and sugars.

A lot of people that are also trying to lose weight will face depression in their weight-loss efforts as well. They mainly face depression because they don’t feel that they’re losing weight as fast as they feel they should or that they’re not losing as much weight as they want to lose.

Losing weight takes time and it also takes a positive mental attitude. In order to lose weight, you need to constantly find ways to encourage yourself and find ways to maintain a positive mental attitude towards losing weight. Just because a day goes by that you did not lose a pound doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to lose the weight that you’re trying to lose.

Staying positive while losing weight isn’t all that difficult. The first thing that you should do is take it one day at a time. What I mean by that is focus on your weight loss efforts for each day and stay positive towards those weight-loss efforts.

Do all that you can during each day to stay on your course to lose weight. Watch what you eat, continue your exercise, and always, always encourage yourself with the progress that you’ve made up to this point. Don’t ever be discouraged if you’ve only lost 5 pounds in seven days; if your goal was to lose 7 pounds in seven days. Remember you still lost 5 pounds in seven days even though it wasn’t the 7 pounds you were shooting for and that is something to encourage yourself with to maintain a positive mental attitude.

You also need to make every pound count. Along the lines of what I’ve mentioned before, set realistic goals for yourself and don’t try to do too much in too little time. If you set unrealistic goals for yourself and then don’t achieve them, then you’re going to be depressed about that and that is not what you need to stay positive. If you need to, make your goals ridiculously low at first and then as you see yourself accomplishing the low goals, start raising them a bit higher. The key here is to focus on achievable progress and by doing that it will help you to stay positive because you are actually seeing results.

Staying positive isn’t hard really. Focus on what you’re doing, encourage yourself with the results, always continue working toward your goals, and before you know it, you will be encouraging others just like yourself and seeing them achieve the results they desire.

What’s the most important instrument for building a successful online business? A. Homepage, B. Advertising, C. Email, D. Search Engine Ranking? Answer: All are important, but none is as important as language. And since the Web is primarily a medium based on written language — as opposed to audio and video — if your Website does not communicate your written message well in whatever language your target audience employs, you will fail.

It is puzzling to go to a site that displays flashy graphical presentations, only to run head-on into confusion when you try to discern the offer. Often, the attributes of a good product are buried beneath dangling modifiers, misspellings, run-on sentences and trite expressions. You cannot but judge the site owner as lacking pride and professionalism, and this leads to distrust by the consumer.

Solving this problem is easy, but a little effort is required. You can hire a professional to write the Web copy, or you can do it yourself and save some money. If you write your own copy, you will need a good guide to language usage, in this case the English language. One of the best is Warriner’s English Grammar and Composition — Complete Course. It is a classic, first published in 1951. This is no concise tutorial. It is nearly 800 pages, covering everything from parts of speech to letter writing. Yes letter writing. That’s right — letter writing.

Letter writing is a skill that has been lost to the informality of email and instant messaging. The typical email has no physical coherence. The “letter picture” is disjointed, with random spacing between parts of the message and inconsistent indentation. Warriner writes that a business letter is a means of achieving success. Success is built on relationships. If you want to build a business relationship, write a business letter. A sales letter promotes a one-time transaction. A relationship leads to repeated transactions.

Email, with volume reaching as high as 20 billion messages per day, is bound to have an effect on every other form of written communication. Unfortunately, the hurried, loose style that makes email such a user friendly tool is becoming a standard. Many Internet marketers ignore — or are not aware of — the need to be precise in their use of language; even an informal voice should maintain discipline of expression. While a sentence fragment might be tolerated and even used for emphasis, dangling modifiers, run-on sentences, ambiguity and misspellings should be purged.

A scan of promotional letters on the Internet shows most of them do not focus on building a relationship. Hyperboles are used throughout a long, meandering presentation that ends with an urgent appeal for the reader to “buy now!” The practiced surfer quickly learns that these letters cannot be avoided: They are everywhere and growing in number. Quite frankly, for anyone who has used the Internet as a source of income for any length of time, these letters evoke comedy whether than trust in the vendor.

Theories on writing an effective sales letter abound. Some say it is an art; others contend it is a science. Whether it is the former or the latter, a “pitch” should do one thing as quickly as possible: Get to the point quickly — and stay there. Power flows from clarity.
