PUTTING THINGS FIRST

Dr. Mary Ruth Swope has provided this area of her web site for you. It is through your efforts, sharing the AIM products, practicing her teachings on healthier lifestyles and your faith in this wonderful opportunity we have to make positive influences in peoples lives that Dr. Swope's message's will continue to be spread across North America and around the world.
Dr. Swope has taught the principals of good body and mind health for many years. Each lesson taught is one you can take to the bank. It's value is based upon truth and can add great value to your life and to others. It is her wish that through this web site you will benefit both physically and spiritually.
Dr. Swope's ministry will grow and continue to help others through your efforts and through our commitment to you. Your desire to get involved with people who need to hear what you know and believe is the first step in an exciting and meaningful journey.
Your work is as important today as that of any other member in her group. Being an ambassador of healthy living and an example for others is not always easy. It takes commitment to the needs of others for lives to be changed. Dr. Swope has committed to your growth and success by providing some of the resources required including my services, to do that.
It is through our commitment to serving you that we hope to help her realize her vision of a healthier world.
We extend to you a message of support in every area where we can become involved to provide for you the resources to create a vision, formulate a plan and move forward confidently towards your goal.
Because you are a member of Dr. Mary Ruth Swope's personal group, we would like you to be aware of some of the reasons why we are here.
Maintenance of a large group of members in any organization, requires the hands on involvement of knowledgeable and well trained people that can analyse activity within the group.
As AIM members we first need to understand one very important and highly relevant fact about what we do. Unlike many regular opportunities for employment there are a great number of benefits. Some of these are:

Choosing your own hours to work
Work from home and being close to your family
Income tax deductions or credits for your home and work vehicle
Effort = Results, meaning the more we do, the more rewards we see.

Ever had a job where you shared an identical job description with another person, receiving exactly the same pay? The one difference being that while he or she dragged their feet, took long breaks, smoke breaks or spent the day hovering around the water cooler while YOU were at your work station, often trying to do the work of two.
Sound familiar? It is more common than you might think, and so much so that the stress of dealing with these people and employer's attitudes towards these people can have very serious repercussions on your health.
After 25 years of working at a job with no bonuses, few rewards and no silver stars for extra effort, it has been wonderfully refreshing to know that the more I focus on what I believe is important, the greater the results. The benefits received go towards improvement of our lifestyle, our families comfort level and our ability to save comfortably for the future. Having the ability to commit part of our income to our community, our church and our savings also holds special meaning for us.
By working with you we will do our best to see that your receive timely and regular promotions and that as you work your AIM business you will receive all benefits, commissions and bonuses based upon your activity level.
Some of you have already shared you questions, concerns and goals with us and each member who has received a promotion since summer 1999 has also received a personalized copy of materials relative to sharing AIM BarleyLife® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend® with others. These two products are the key factors in you efforts to help others to feel better and become excited about the AIM opportunity. They are the best in their class. Nothing has been compromised in the quality of these products.

A note on Quality

QUALITY

The AIM opportunity for some will mean simply getting AIM products at the best possible price. Great! No matter where you go, and what you buy, there is always a best price. It may not always be a fair price, but it will be the best price. We are not alone when we realize that most people will always look for a way to buy it for less.
Is less always better? Would you be prepared to sacrifice something in the way the item was produced if you could get it for less? I think that most of us today realize that what you pay is relative to the quality of the item. When you are selling a product like AIM BarleyLife® , you have to realize that it's popularity will prompt others to produce a similar product for their own purposes. What about the competition?
AIM BarleyLife® in fact, has many competitors. Most of these have recognized the strength and power of a whole green food and heard of the wonderful results people are receiving. However results mean increased sales and increased demand as the result of those sales. Along with increased demand will come more people with the resources to try to fill that demand and before long there is a wide variety of choices with each one claiming theirs is best, has more in it, has purer ingredients and so on.

There was a wise man long ago whose words have carved a permanent signature on the very reason we are so heavily committed to AIM BarleyLife® today. I hope it will have the same effect for you. This little piece to us, says it all

INTRODUCTION

Success in any endeavor comes from focus, organization and planning. We must decide what our purpose will be for the foreseeable future, develop a vision of the end product or goal and decide upon ways to keep track of our progress. Most important, is the need to identify purpose or reason for moving ahead with a plan.

If there is no goal, then there will be limited success. If there is no plan, then where you eventually arrive may not be where you wanted to be or even when you wanted to be there. Consider this Example .

GETTING STARTED

Any journey which takes us from where we are to where we would like to be, must begin with a plan of how to get there. The plan begins with the identification of why we wish to be there. If there is no reason to go, and we are very comfortable with where we are right now, then we may just as well stay. If this is not the case and we are committed to a change of scenery with excitement building for the many new things we will experience and people we will meet, then it is time to make a few adjustments to the way we normally do things in order to make that happen.

MAKING A LIST

As for any trip, we need to consider and write down the things we need. What do we have now, and what will we have to go out and get. So let's get a pen and note pad and begin.

Divide your page into three parts.

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

Discover the need or purpose for the journey.

Your purpose list may have freedom, peace, time for family or sense of accomplishment as some of its main goals.

Identify a destination, write it down now!

Identify the reasons why.

Your list may include discontent, boredom, insufficient income, lack of family and recreational time or a host of others. It should also reflect a need to grow; to apply your knowledge, to be of greater value to your community, to serve your family better or to just spread your wings and see what a difference you can make. If you are strong in these areas, you are already in a place where you have the potential to accomplish most anything you set out to.
Now focus on various strengths and personal resources you already have access to.

These may be energy, desire to help others, faith, strong self worth, confidence or others.

You should also consider those who will support you along the way. Few people have ever made it on their own. To be truly successful you will have to call upon the talents, resources, strengths, and support of others. You will have to share what you have to offer with them, equally.

PREPARATION

Here are a few of the things you will need;

Time - expect that this is going to take some time. You will need to read Partners magazine from cover to cover each month. Partners is the only means the company has of bringing you up to date on important developments. The information is presented in a general nature to ensure its value to everyone.
Funds - to ensure that you have a minimum of one 6 pack of AIM BarleyLife® on hand at all times. You cannot offer someone something you don't have.

We recommend that you begin with 2 - 6 packs and each time you sell the last bottle in a box you order a new box to replace it. We also recommend that for every bottle of AIM BarleyLife® or AIM Herbal Fiberblend® going to a new customer, you also include an AIM hand blender and measuring spoon.

Sell the hand blender to them tax included for $5.00 US or $7.00 CDN. Add $2.00 if you wish to provide batteries. The AIM measuring spoon, is always complimentary. You will make no profit from these tools however, they will pay for themselves in time and convenience for you and for your customer and cut down the need to address problems on dosage and mixing of product.
Literature - information and data sheets on the two main AIM products, AIM BarleyLife® and AIM Herbal Fiberblend® . You will need cassette tapes, video tapes and books about these products as well. On this web site you will find everything you will require in information and products .

People want to know why and how things work. They want to be knowledgeable when sharing with others.

THE THREE FOOT RULE
Remember when you first shared the good news about AIM BarleyLife® with your family and your friends? Do you recall the excitement when green powder changed so much in your life and those around you? Well, the message is just as true today as it was then. The only way to get people to try AIM BarleyLife® is to tell them about it. If you wish to share successfully and grow in the ability to share then you must use "The Three Foot Rule" everyday, with everyone.
"if anyone comes within three feet of you, tell them about AIM BarleyLife® "

SUGGESTED MATERIALS

There is much that you could learn and many different tools that you might share in the building of your business. We suggest that you choose from the selection available; three books, three cassettes and three videos that you will commit to sharing with everyone.
