Hemp Uses

Modern uses for the Hemp Plant are growing exponentially. The good news seems to be growing as quickly as a field of green (hemp) grass. The movement toward a more intelligent, more Earth friendly, more beneficial and more profitable approach toward this wonder-plant is picking up steam. Wouldn’t you like to be involved in this movement? (hint: click on the picture)

A Mind full of “Weed”s

Standard

I recently read a post on Facebook: “Don’t let your own thoughts be the force that stops you”.

My first reaction was to argue with this logic and say (to myself) “My thoughts are what drive me, not what stops me.” Then I realized there is real truth to the idea that our own thoughts can stop us as often as they motivate us.

Consider the case of Dr. Sanjay Gupta, M.D.. Dr Gupta is associate chief of neurosurgery at Grady Memorial Hospital, a best selling author, a medical adviser to the White House, an Emmy Award winning broadcast journalist and the chief medical correspondent for CNN, and was named by FORBES Magazine in 2011 “one of the 10 most influential celebrities”. Yet, in spite of his extreme accomplishments and obvious belief in medical research, he too was subject to allowing his own thoughts, beliefs and prejudices stand in his way (at least temporarily).

In 2009 Dr. Gupta came out publicly against patient access to medical marijuana. Yet, beginning in 2011 he reversed his position and has been a proponent of CBD-based treatments ever since. He reported that he had initially listened too closely to critics and had not done the proper research. Now, after traveling the world and investigating the extensive research being done revealing the medical benefits of cabbibidoil (CBD) Dr. Gupta has produced two documentaries highlighting the enormous medical benefits available to mankind and the barriers that have limited patient access to CBD-based treatments.

Now consider this, if this brilliant and accomplished man could be limited for a time by his own beliefs, could mine? Could yours? The reality is that we are all susceptible to negative and limiting ideas from time to time. Our field of beneficial thoughts can get crowded out by the ‘weeds’ of prejudice against (or for) something or by fear or doubt. I don’t want my own thoughts to be the force that stops me from reaching new possibilities, from unconditional love for others, from success in my business or in any area of possibility in my life.

I believe in the benefits of CBD, something that I initially was closed to just as Dr. Gupta was. I believe in the benefits of Hemp fiber, seeds and plant as well. I believe in the benefits to our economy, to our government and to all of mankind and the planet itself.

I also believe in the network marketing business model. I believe in it’s power to create synergy, it’s core value of success for all and in it’s unyielding foundation of success based on positive mindset.

If we can tend to the garden of our thoughts, uproot the prejudice, eradicate the fear and eliminate the doubt – then there will be no limit to what we can accomplish together!

Building a “Home” from hemp

Standard

I have spent most of my life in the construction industry, either as a builder and installer or as an estimator and salesman. I love the idea of creating, seeing the results of my days work and being part of something that will bring usefulness, joy and comfort for many years. As the Hemp industry expands, more and more actual building materials are being formed from Hemp, including bricks to build houses that are in some ways harder than concrete! Here is an article about Hemp bricks, though there are many more

Building is also a metaphor for me. I view the idea of building like building a lifestyle, building a financial future for my family, building character and so much more. It is about adding usefulness, joy and comfort in so many ways. I have been searching for a long time for an industry in which to build something really great. I want to help others build their futures and reach their dreams and provide for their families. This industry, the Hemp industry, is where I am building my career now. The potential from Hemp is so huge and it is just beginning. The industry encompasses textiles, fuels, health and wellness, lifestyle products, agriculture, textiles and on and on. If you add to that the potential of the Network Marketing industry, where everyone benefits from building up people, demonstrating leadership, teaching positive mindset and taking part in a synergy of effort, then I believe anyone can build a real “Home” for themselves professionally. 

If you have aspirations and goals for yourself in your career, if you are looking for an industry that is poised for exponential growth and if you want to find a positive place to grow as an individual, then join with us at http://www.ProfitFromHemp.com. I look forward helping you grow the greatness in you.

Misconceptions of Hemp and MLM

Standard

Wow, these two words get a reaction on their own, but what happens when you put them together? Boom!

First, Hemp.

Hemp is not POT. I keep telling my church friends, my co-workers and my family that I am not a dope head. But there has been so much cross-over and misinformation regarding hemp and marijuana, that it may still take a while for people to get comfortable with the different terms. Hemp is a plant in the same family of plants as marijuana, but they are not the same. Just like there are many different plants in the cactus family, for example, there are different plants in the “Setivia” family of plants, including Hemp and Marijuana. Hemp is high in a healthful oil called cannibidoil. Marijuana also contains CBD, but it is high in THC, which causes the “high”. Marijuana is illegal and mind altering, Hemp (high CBD) is not psychoactive and is legal everywhere.

Next, MLM

MLM stands for multilevel marketing, now commonly known as network marketing. MLM is really just a way of structuring pay for salesmen in the direct selling industry. A salesman can earn commissions on sales he personally makes, but he can also earn override commissions on the total volume of sales made by other salespersons he recruits for the company, thus on multiple levels (multi-level-marketing). Early on, before tight regulation, MLM was associated with Ponzi Schemes and Pyramid Schemes. In Pyramid schemes a new recruit could outwork his recruiter, but never pass them up in terms of position or commissions since the pay structure did not allow for that possibility. This resulted in recruiters becoming lazy and collecting checks based on their recruit’s sales without any further effort of their own. Pay structures (called compensation plans) are now reviewed for compliance and allow for a more fluid structure so that the real workers can rise to the top and surpass their recruiters.

Ponzi Schemes exist when there is no real end product to sell to anyone outside of the network. For example, you may have seen those ads where you get paid $25 for every email you “process”? The $25 comes from someone who wants to pay for the program to learn how to collect the $25 for processing emails. You see? There is no real product, but only a cycle of people posting ads and collecting fees from people who want to learn to post the same ads and collect the same fees. No real product is produced or sold. In MLM Ponzi Schemes (which are illegal) salesmen are paid a fee from new recruits signing up rather than on the sale of product.

With careful regulation, MLM (or Network Marketing) has now become a common and accepted distribution structure for thousands of products all over the world. It is taught at Harvard Business School and heavy-hitters such as Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet, Donald Tump and many more either promote, fund or outright own MLM companies.

I have finally discovered a Network Marketing company that is combining the best of high-CBD products and MLM. Kannaway is my new home.
