Toys For Thailand

Dear Friends,

Toys for Thailand is one of the charities that Imo and contribute to. It really makes your heart feel good when you realize that we had a small part in this ceremony so far away. We have purchased bikes for the orphan children from the Tsunami of 2004. For $50.00 you can purchase a bike and then children can work as that is their means of transportation. If you are interested we can put you in touch with our good friend Sasha Bilar. Sasha is a dear friend who lives close to us but spends every Christmas in Thailand helping to build schools that are desperately need. This year we helped her raise funds to build toilets and purchase new beds for the boys at the orphanage and that is one of the things she is doing this year.

Below is an email we just received about their Holiday trip. I hope to join Sasha in the new future on one of her trips to see the children.

FORWARD FROM SASHA:

Sasha asked me to pass along Greetings from Chiangmai, Sawadee and
Happy New Year! I hope your holidays are filled with love and sharing.
Sasha, Roselle and I just returned from a unbelievable trip to Mae
Hong Song MHS, where we spent Christmas and Christmas Eve with the
invisible Daoyai tribal children at the isolated school on the border of
Burma. It took 30 minutes to fly to MHS, and 45 minutes to drive to the
school, nestled high in the beautiful national geographic quality
mountains of MHS, called the Summit of Serenity.

The children were so excited to see us, they held up banners saying things like, Thank you
for your donates. Thank you for your kindness. Welcome. Bon Voyage.
Everything they could think of in English. We were treated like royalty
and shown around the school which we had helped with a substantial
donation in 2007.

Sasha asked them what they appreciated most from our past donation
and they all pointed to the water purification system that we
purchased for them. The headmaster was so gracious showing us the
organic vegetable garden that they were growing with the gardening
supplies we purchased them. It was so wonderful to see that our
donations made a difference! We bought blankets, jackets and medicine
this trip. On Christmas day we purchased a special meal for the children
consisting of chicken and other dishes, following by cake, which for
many of the children, they never had cake before.

We personally served the cake and the smiles on the children's faces was priceless, they were
so happy to get a little square of sugar and floor topped with white
frosting and a red cherry. There are no ovens at the school just open
fires for cooking, and no budget for the luxury of cake.

The kids next performed their tribal dances, did some skits and gave
us so much acknowledgement for the party we had sponsored for them.
They had a big bon fire (yes, the party was outdoors)and after the cake
and entertainment, we light 20 lanterns and sent them up to the heavens
with the children's wishes for the new year. There was a gift exchange
(each children had 12 baht which is less than 50 cents) to buy a gift,
teachers had $1. Sasha, Roselle and I also brought gifts for the
exchange. Needless to say, our gifts were a bit higher than their range
so three lucky students got our nicer gifts, goody bags of art supplies,
hat and gloves, shampoo. The evening ended with all of us dancing and
waving our arms in the air, happy to celebrate Christmas in a magical
place with the sweetest, most appreciative children. I will never
forget the JOY and the happiness that was shared on Christmas 2008 with
the Daiyai children, in the far away school outside Mae Hong Song.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays!

As this year comes to a close and the new year is about to begin I would like to take a moment and wish you all the very best. I hope you truly enjoy time with your loved ones during this Holiday season, I just love this time of year when everyone has the "Christmas Spirit".
Especially it's this time of year when it is so important to express gratitude for all the goodness that we have received through out 2008 The more we express gratitude the more we open our lives to receive more abundance in all areas. Remember "Thoughts Become Things". We also want to reflect on the year, and thank the people that have made a great impression
on our lives.

I would personally like to thank you for your friendship and support in 2008, and wish you much success in 2009! This year will be monumential for me to finally go in the direction of my true passion of doing worldwide Humanitarian work. A major focus is to honor Kristin Kleizo with Kristin's Kidz. Kristin was the ultimate "giver" and she lived each day of her life with the "Christmas Spirit" and it is that spirit that will be remembered by all of us! Kristin has taught me so many things like to take more pictures, to keep smiling even in the tough times and to LOVE LIFE even more than I did before.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!

Loving Life,
Sheri Sharman

What Will Be Your Legacy?

What Will Be Your Legacy?

In memory of Kristin Kleizo:

Everyone wants to leave a legacy....but do we know what it will be? Have you really thought about it?

Did you know that what we do daily over a long period of time actually creates our legacy? Is what you are doing now on a daily basis what you want your life to stand for, the impact you want it to have on others?

If your answer is no, or not really, or I am not sure...no worries. You can on this very day turn things around. Your legacy is the sum of your whole life not just what has transpired up until now. But you must act now to make changes because our life is precious and at any time can be taken from us.

We will all leave a legacy but it is our choice as to what kind. Take some time to really plan and take action on your goals so that your life will leave a positive impact and influence on others.

Having just returned from Kristin Kleizo's memorial in Orlando I know now more than ever just how important it is to live each and every day in gratitude and in service to helping and supporting others in achieving their dreams. Kristin truly touched the lives of many and her spirit for life, love, compassion and FUN has left a legacy that will continue to influence many worldwide for years to come.

I am grateful to have been a part of a team of Kristin's friends who in the last several days fulfilled a dream of Kristin's and Maggie's (her mother). Kristin's wish was to someday have her mom's house remodeled. It was a blessing to be able to help make that wish come true.

How you live your daily life is what's important. Click Here to watch a short movie that really sums it all up!

Luv 'n Life,

The Power of Direct Selling / Network Marketing

The power of Direct Selling, also known as Network Marketing, has recently been in the news:

Flexibility and Financial Freedom:
Recently in a Success Magazine article, Erin Casey wrote about Direct Selling and how it offers flexibility and financial freedom.

Lots of Free Cash Flow:
Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s Mad Money, on a recent show said, especially during a slowing economy: “Direct Selling is a great model…with high gross margins, low capital intensity, lots of free cash flow.” He also said there is gigantic room for growth and that the top 15 companies only account for about half the market.

Be Part Of A $142 Billion Dollar Industry:

• Join an industry where business is booming and there’s always room at the top.
• Network Marketing is a $32 billion industry in the United States and a $110 billion industry worldwide.
• The millions of individuals building Direct Selling businesses determine for themselves when they want to move up the career ladder, exactly how high they want to climb and how much money they want to earn.
  

With ViaViente we can take advantage of all the above!

I Love This Business Because:

• There are Proven Systems for success in place. You only need to Pay Attention and Take Daily ACTION to get RESULTS!
• You can start a business for a very low investment.
• You have Flexibility and Time FREEDOM.
• You have the opportunity to Earn What You Are Worth!
• You can maximize your earnings with RESIDUAL Income.
• You reap the Recognition and Rewards You Deserve.
• You can become a better YOU by working on Personal Development.

Direct Selling is a hot industry. Now is the time to invest in your future and create a legacy for you and your family!

Opportunity Is Knocking...will you OPEN the door, or just look through the peep hole?

To open the door, contact me...

Here's to your success!

A Favorite Quote from Norman Vincent Peale

One of my favorite quotes from Norman Vincent Peale is:

"Those who are fired with an enthusiastic idea, and who allow it to take hold and dominate their thoughts find that new worlds open for them. As long as enthusiasm holds out, so will new opportunities."

Hold on to your enthusiasm and passion and be on the look out for new opportunities...they will appear!

Here's to your success,
Sheri Sharman

My Message Stays the Same by Sheri Sharman

After 20 years in network marketing and many interviews later, my message stays the same...you must have PASSION!

Network marketing gives the average person an opportunity to have unlimited time and financial FREEDOM. These freedoms can make you feel motivated, courageous and fulfilled in leading a purposeful PASSIONATE LIFE.

With Passion Comes COMMITMENT: With your ViaViente business in mind ask yourself the following questions:

• What is your next level promotion you would like to achieve?

• What are your primary commitments for the day, week, month and year to make sure that the promotion happens?
  

• Who will you be accountable to?

• What has to happen for you to be fully committed to your commitments?

• How will you feel when you have successfully achieved your commitments and achieved your goal?

As Jim Rohn says, “At the end of the day you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you.”

Use your PASSION and stay COMMITTED… the applause will be outstanding!

Here's to your success,

The Olympian Within

Denis Waitley likes to use the phrase “The Inner Winner”. This describes the kind of person who:

• Recognizes his or her internal value
• Uses that recognition as the foundation for achieving any goal

The secret of wearing the gold medal around your neck in the external world is that first you must be an Inner Winner. You must recognize that you’re already an Olympian Within. The same holds true for your success in your Via Business.

Know and Feel Good About Helping Others With Their Health And Their Wealth!

• Be grateful that you have an amazing gift to share that can enhance the lives of many.

• Stand proud and confident knowing that we have the best product and documentation in the industry.

• With this knowledge your Inner Winner becomes strong and your external image will shine like the Olympian Gold.

Go For The Gold With ViaViente!

Powerful Questions from "Ask And You Will Succeed"

This book, by Ken D. Foster, offers powerful questions that allow you to tap into your strength and create your ideal life. It’s pretty easy to ask yourself the questions but it takes desire and commitment to answer them and then act on your answers.

My favorite questions pertaining to business are:

• What vision do you have for your business?

• What has to happen for you to enroll key players in your vision?

• What goals or outcomes are you ready to achieve in your business?

• What has to happen this week for you to double your monthly income?

• What can you do to attract more prospects?

Take a few minutes to really answer these questions and then from your answers create a plan of ACTION to get the RESULTS you DESIRE!

Turning Dreams Into Reality

There is a clear distinction between those who live their dreams and those who do not. Achieving and living your dreams is not a matter of luck, but a matter of skill, dedication, commitment and action. It takes an increased awareness about the laws of abundance, a sense of how to communicate with people, a true dedication toward achievement and a growing certainty in your belief that you will succeed. Above all, it takes focus and discipline.

When we look at dreams and goals, the distinction that sets them apart is that goals are a commitment to action with a plan and deadline for achievement. While dreams may be in your heart and mind, and perhaps even written down, goals are your actual commitment to make things happen in your life. No different than climbing a mountain, if your goal is to reach the top, what matters most is not the distance that you will travel, but the steps that you take to travel that distance...in the footsteps of someone who has already achieved the goal, and is willing to show you the way.

Success is a journey, not a destination; and along the journey there are many milestones or accomplishments. Each is a mini victory and stepping stone toward fulfillment of your goals. As you build upon your small victories you move closer toward turning your dreams into reality.

Here's to your success,

Attitude of Gratitude by Sheri Sharman

As stated in Success Magazine's article "Too Busy for Relationships", psychology research shows people who express gratitude daily are happier and have better relationships.

Think about the people in your life; people you see or talk to daily and people you are connected with who are far away. Are you grateful that these people are in your life? Do you regularly express your gratitude through words and/or actions? Make sure the people you care about know that you care about them. Adopt a daily Attitude of Gratitude and you will see positive changes in your relationships.

Getting to Know Someone Using F.O.R.M. by Sheri Sharman

In business it is very important to connect with people when you first meet them. You should try to "build bridges" or find something in common. One of the ways you can do this is by asking them questions about their family, occupation, recreational activities and/or what motivates them in life. A simple way to remember these conversation topics is to think of the word F.O.R.M.

F = Family
O = Occupation
R = Recreational activities
M = Motivation in life

Using conversation topics like these, you are apt to find something that you have in common. Once you determine what you have in common, you've just made yourself more memorable to that new person. You can comment on your commonality when you follow-up with them which will help you strengthen your bridge or connection with them.

Words to Live By

An excerpt from No Glass Ceiling, Just Blue Sky
By Marcy Blochowiak

Dream what you want to dream;
Go where you want to go;
Be what you want to be,
Because you have only one life
And one chance to do all the things
You want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human and
Enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily
Have the best of everything;
They just make the most of
Everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always
Be based on a forgotten past;
You can't go forward in life until
You let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling
Live your life so at the end
You're the one who is smiling and everyone
Around you is crying.

How to Attract a Group of People by Sheri Sharman

In Network Marketing, as in many businesses, it is necessary to attract a group of people or a team.

How would you feel at your companies next training with a large group of people from your team in attendance?

Here are some tips to help you attract a large team:

• Be likeable.
• Use a firm assertive handshake and pay attention to the other person’s handshake.
• Learn to paint pictures with words.
• Change your view of the cost to start. See it as a small amount with BIG REWARDS.
• Improve your image to one of success & class. (People will always judge based on appearance.)
• “Believe” in the business and product.
• Have a “system” that’s simple, organized & duplicateable.
• Use positive, energetic words like: Fantastic! Great! Awesome! Appreciate! Terrific!
• Always use the other person’s NAME!
• Erase the word TRY from your vocabulary. Don’t “try”...just do it.
• Be complimentary of others. Make them feel good.
• Exude talent/energy/effort/commitment.
• Don’t let what other people think about network marketing affect your actions/enthusiasm/passion/dreams!
• Be energetic.
• Be an "energy giver" (not a taker).
• Exude confidence.
• Be persuasive.
• Communicate a sense of urgency.
• Use "fear of loss" as needed.
• Look for teachable people.
• On a scale of 1-10, look for 7’s or higher...they will have the most success.
• Be aware of the other person's energy level and their body language.
• Have relaxed intensity.
• Practice tonality; match & mirror people’s tone & speed.
• Ask questions to handle objections.
  

Always remember:

1. If you dress successful...you will feel successful and act more successful.


2. The better your image, the more people you will attract into your business.


3. You will attract WHO YOU ARE...not who you want.

The Power of Words, Part II, by Sheri Sharman

I just came across this question in a book titled, "Ask And You Will Succeed" by Ken Foster: "What does your thinking look like to others?"

This question ties in to my previous blog...The Power of Words. Remember, words are both spoken and unspoken. Your unspoken words are your thoughts. Answering the question, "What does your thinking look like to others?", might help you become more aware of what unspoken words or thoughts you are using to describe yourself.

Here's to your success,

Sheri Sharman

The Power of Words by Sheri Sharman

WORDS, both spoken and unspoken, are POWERFUL...they create emotion.

Words create a picture in your mind. And this picture creates various emotions. Emotions can change your state of mind and the type of energy you give off and attract. This is why people often say, "what you think about (or say to yourself in words) will come true"!

Dr. Wayne Dyer says, "Every thought that you have impacts you. By shifting in the middle of a weakening thought to one that strengthens, you raise your energy vibration and strengthen yourself and the immediate energy field."

Be mindful of the words, both spoken and upspoken, that you use to describe yourself. You should practice positive self-talk, for instance, say to yourself "I am a winner" or "I always succeed". Talk in the present tense..."I always succeed"...versus..."I will succeed". You must see yourself as already succeeding and "tell" yourself that you are already succeeding, in order to succeed.

Here's to your success,

In Defense of Sheri Sharman: Friendship Is Priceless!

I personally would like to give a special thanks to both Justin "Broker" Jones and Tracy Jacobsen for devoting the time, energy, and love to write In Defense of Sheri Sharman. It takes a true friend to stand up for someone that is being attacked through abuse of the Internet using manipulation and lies and hiding under the umbrella of "freedom of speech."

Click here to read Broker's blog entry titled "In Defense of Sheri Sharman" and the reply/comment from Tracy Jacobsen.

Click here to read Part II of Broker's blog entry.

After spending 21 years passionately building sales teams and friendships and a good name in the Network Marketing arena to now being targeted, attacked and slandered by both Ed Magedson and Bill Gould speaks volumes about the parasitic character of these individuals. Everyone will have to deal with "good guys" and "bad guys" throughout their lifetime. I will let you make your own intelligent decision on which category my attackers fall into. The facts are that life is too short, and I choose not to reciprocate the attacks from either Ed Magedson (a.k.a. Eddie Donovan) or Bill Gouldd, and I refuse to play in the mud.

Thanks again to Broker and Tracy for coming to my defense...friendship really is priceless!

Sincerely,
Sheri Sharman

Personal Development Training, DISCOVERY 2008 - January's Call

Last night's Discovery call was amazing!!! It was our first call for 2008 and our largest call since our Los Angeles Discovery event in August 2007. The Discovery Grads were allowed to invite people in their sales team to join us in 2008 for our monthly call. Discovery is my favorite of all the trainings because it deals with how we can let go of the past, be focused on the present and make a plan for the future. It's uplifting, FUN and absolutely the best gift anyone can give themselves.

Here are some highlights from the call:

• I shared with everyone that I attribute much of my success in Network Marketing to the personal development courses, cassette tapes and books that I studied prior to getting involved in the industry.

• New Silver Sales Leader, Meshelle Throne, shared how 2007 was the toughest year of her life yet the support she received at Discovery helped her become stronger and more powerful. Meshelle said that Discovery helped her personally grow and it helped her set & reach her goal of becoming a Silver Sales Leader.

• We heard next from Gold Sales Leader Dr. Dennis Kudlik from Southern California. His highlight of Discovery was the camaraderie that he and his wife Cindy experienced throughout the 3 day weekend. Together they were able to work on their plans for the future and everyone could see that they had the time of their lives!

• Silver Sales Leader Barbara Lee from Los Angeles was a powerhouse when she told us how she loved her time at Discovery. She claimed it was like ONE BIG FAMILY!! She felt a family bond with everyone there and was able to dump all her negative experiences from the past.

• Then we heard from Broker Jones in Arizona. He shared how Discovery was the best investment he could ever make in his personal growth and development. Broker was glad he took the time to attend Discovery and said the support he experienced allowed him to give his self-discovery a 100%.

• We also heard from our Montana girls, Linda and Rene, who learned about Discovery the Wednesday night before the event. Together with their team mates they drove non-stop to attend Discovery on time! Linda emotionally shared how Discovery helped her break though fears and doubts.

• Then to top the evening call off, we heard from Tiffany Passick, a Gold Sales Leader from Michigan. She enlightened us on how Discovery helped her to "Think Differently" and told us what an impact a Discovery weekend can have if you're willing to change and accept greatness in your life. She also expressed how Discovery helped her and her sister to heal and become awesome friends...and that is priceless.

On each monthly Discovery Call we will have Grads share their Discovery turning point and what made a difference for them. Be sure to watch the video on http://www.discovery08.com/ and look for what every picture has in common...here's a hint...check out all the SMILES!

Don't miss next month's Discovery call...
February 19th at 6:45 PM PT // 7:45 MT // 8:45 CT // 9:45 ET.

Sheri Sharman Spotlights: Rene Abreu

Sheri Sharman Spotlights: VíaVienté Gold Sales Leader, Rene Abreu

Sheri: Rene, how were you introduced to Vía?

Rene: We were introduced to Vía in October of 2004 by our close friends, Rey and Joanna Falcatan, from Olympia, Washington. My wife has been best friends with Joanna since childhood and we were staying at their home for a family celebration. We noticed every morning and every night that they took this purple juice and gave it to their kids as well. I asked what it was and Rey pointed me to the website where I saw that Brunswick Labs did the Anti-Oxidant testing. Having used this lab as a reference in school, this was all I needed to know. I took out my card and placed our first order.

Sheri: I understand that you and your wife, Dr. Yvette, used Vía for over a year before really getting into the business. What made you finally decide to get involved in the business side of Vía?

Rene: After using the product for a whole year, we realized how great it is and how we could help people. We were both open-minded people when we were first introduced to Vía; we just lacked business knowledge and did not realize the full spectrum of value in the VíaVienté business model. It only took training for us to realize that we were going to pursue VíaVienté as a part-time business. The goal is to work Vía part-time to grow a residual income that will out-earn our current careers.

Online Community for Good News Just Launched by Sheri Sharman Inc.

Sheri Sharman is on a mission to Celebrate Good News world-wide. For years Sheri has dreamed of having a 24/7 Good News Around the World Info Channel...much like CNN...except with only Positive News and not all the negativity that we are bombarded with in our everyday lives. Hence, CelebrateGoodNews.com was recently launched. The website is an online community for positive, caring individuals from around the world! Specifically, it is for individuals who are committed to spreading and celebrating good news.

CelebrateGoodNews.com just debuted on January 1st and is picking up momentum with many new members. The website is for stories that would be of interest to the community at large. It is not meant to be used as a log of one's daily activities but rather a place to share inspirational or uplifting videos/audios and heart felt stories relating to entrepreneurial success, military heroes, relationships or family, pets, our environment, health, etc...

One of Sheri’s passions is to spotlight people who make a difference and she has been doing it all her life. Now, through this community, Sheri and others will spotlight Good News. Sheri says, “I have been told by many that this type of website community would NEVER work...that people only like gossip, soaps, murder stories, trashy reality dramas and so on. Well, I disagree! I believe that GOOD is out there, and we just need to discover it and promote it as if we've found the MOST VALUABLE TREASURE on Earth! I am betting on this idea with my heart and soul...!”

To become a part of this growing Good News Community and to join Sheri in her mission to spread good news world-wide, simply go to www.CelebrateGoodNews.com and click on “Register Now”. The first 500 Foundation Members will receive a free, life-time membership.
