Have a goal first

This will motivate you to save money. The essence that you are saving is because you have a goal to achieve. Your goals might be buying a car, a house, vacation, capital for business, for wedding expenditure, for emergency purposes, and many to mention. It depends on you what your goal is.

Pay your debt

Pay your debt first especially those interest-bearing debts. The sooner or faster you pay off debts, less interest you will pay means that amount can be saved instead.

Discontinue using credit cards

Pay for everything with cash or money orders. This is to minimize overspending because if you are using a bank or credit account, you don’t know how much is in there. Compared to when you’re using cash, you can monitor how much money left in your pocket and know that you have to limit spending over.

Pay your bills on time

Pay your bills on time to avoid additional charges or penalties imposed by the billing company. Instead of paying additional amount of money, it can add up to your saving account.

List before you go shopping

List first the most important things to purchase before anything else. The purpose of list is to make sure that you bought what you really need or what you call your basic needs. Without a list you will probably buy items that you do not need. Buying all that you need in one trip can help evade another unnecessary trip. By making list, you can determine how much your budget would be.

Conserve energy

We pay our electricity bills regularly. If we conserve energy, we can save money from it. When electric appliances are not in use, unplug it. By unplugging it can save a lot of electricity compared to by just switching it off. Switch off lights when not in use.

Minimize eating outside home

Eat at home to minimize food expenses as we all know that food from restaurants or fast-food establishments are more costly compared when you cook your own food. If the wife and husband is both working , have a time to cook for at least thrice a week and then increase the frequency until you both are comfortable to the schedule.  

Tips Before Joining In Any Network Marketing

I was involved in a networking  or MLM before and I found out that it is very hard for my part because I don't have good speaking abilities and I am shy in front of many people looking at me. 

Well, maybe you are surprised I joined networking. My first reason is to " EARN BIG " , this is what all networking companies promises to all prospects that they've gathered to attend in a business meeting. Second reason is to get rich at a short period of time. And the last is to be known to all other members that I'm an achiever, but the big question is how can I accumulate all of this if I don't change myself first? 

So, I will give some tips to you before you give your hard earned money to your sponsors to give you the product and start endorsing it to others.

BEFORE YOU JOIN, YOU MUST....

•  Check the quality of the products or services they offer - before you join, do some research first about the product or services if it is stable or okay. It's also important to ask questions to members already if they are satisfied with the outcome. It is necessary to check if there are complains from the customer/user of the products or services the company is offering.
• Change your attitude - if you are shy talking to people, a negative thinker, a quitter, a whiner, then networking is not for you, unless you change your attitude. Yes, change your attitude first and you will see that it is easy to mingle to your prospects and easy to promote the products or services you're offering to them. 97% in networking business failed because they don't have the "right attitude".
• Find an active and powerful leader - a leader or sponsor are the same, you must carefully choose who you want to be under with. An active and powerful sponsor will help you build your down-line and achieved the success you want. It will make your life easier,  but you must make sure that you are learning also, don't be a parasite, learn how to become a leader because you will be building your organization. Don't give all the job to your sponsor. He will just guide you. Always bear in mind that you are the captain of your own ship and the creator of your fate.
• Be ready for rejections - before you join in networking, you must know that not all of your family or friends will join under you because they are the first people whom you will ask to join in your organization. So be ready for rejections cause it's part of the networking.
• Know that you will work hard first - there is no instant success, you must give 100% of your energy and time at first, but it's worth in the end. If you join, you will be busy in prospecting or finding leads, discussing the marketing plan and follow up the possible leads to join.

 As of now, I'm still on networking and it's doing good. I hope this tips could help you before you join any networking companies.  Just make sure you pick the right company because at the end you will be responsible for your own decisions. Happy networking : p

What Causes High Blood Pressure?

This is a list of common causes of high blood pressure...check it out!

1.  Aging - as people age, their arteries become stiffer and the resistance inside them increases, making it more difficult for the heart to pump the blood through. The result is primarily a rise in systolic blood pressure.

2. Being Overweight - the primary determinants of blood pressure are cardiac output or the amount of blood pumped out of the heart, and the resistance to the flow of that blood within the body's arteries. People who are obese have much greater cardiac output than those whose weight is normal, therefore, their blood pressure also tends to be higher. It follows then, that obese are at higher risk.

3. Stress - when you are under either mental or physical stress, your adrenal gland pumps out epinephrine. The effects of epinephrine is, it makes your heart pound and your legs go wobbly when you screech on your car brakes just in time to avoid an accident. Although you might think that the epinephrine released during one single panicky event of fear would cause no long-lasting effect, there is evidence that the epinephrine released may actually be taken up by nerve endings and then released periodically. It could be possible for multiple blood pressure surges. If you have enough large and small stresses over the course of your typical day, you might end up with sustained high blood pressure.

4. Salt Intake - sodium excess leads to an increase in blood volume. When you ate a salty meal, it makes you thirsty, but the extra fluid doesn't just stay in your stomach. It acts to expand your blood volume, which in turn increases blood pressure.

5. Kidney Disease - there is no doubt that the kidney is involved in the development of hypertension. People with kidney disease often develop high blood pressure. Given this relationship, it make sense that low birth weight has been associated with development of hypertension later in life.

6. Excess Alcohol - you might get surprise while reading this because there are many articles promoting alcohol as a way to reduce cardiac risk. Yes, it is true that small amounts of alcohol do appear to protect against the development of heart disease(probably through its impact on HDL, the protective cholesterol,and on platelets, our blood-clotting cells). Alcohol raises HDL and seems to impair the function of platelets, thereby decreasing clotting. A reduction in clotting would reduce heart attacks by preventing a clot from forming on a ruptured cholesterol plaque, but while alcohol, in small amounts, is probably protective, it appears that at a level greater than two drinks a day for men, it leads to high blood pressure.

7.Genetics - It is clear that the interplay of genetics and environmental factors (weight gain, excess alcohol intake, excess salt and stress) set into motion the cascade that ultimately results in hypertension.
