Six Star Pro Nutrition Thermogenic Shred

Six Star Pro Nutrition Thermogenic Shred has a powerful caffeine Formula designed for intense energy, focus and advanced weight loss.

It is the most economical way to try Grains of Paradise. A novel ingredient that raises the body's metabolic rate and core temperature. Preliminary studies indicate that it may result in a reduction of body weight. 

I've started taking it and while on it I did not notice any more energy than other products of this type but did feel like a person with a fever. Sweating and chills. Interesting. 

Other cool ingredients are Theanine which removes some of the jitters of caffeine. Along with Green Coffee, Cocoa and Yohimbe. At $16 for 30 days worth, Shred is the best value for a fat burner. You can find it at Bodybuilding.com or on Amazon.com.


Definitely worth trying.

SEVEN FUNDAMENTALS FOR WEALTH AND HAPPINESS BY JIM ROHN

SEVEN FUNDAMENTALS FOR WEALTH AND HAPPINESS BY JIM ROHN                                                                                  

                                                                          

1) GOALS                                                     
A CONSISTENT PLAN FOR SETTING, REARRANGING, EVALUATING, AND STRENGTHENING THE PURPOSE OF YOUR GOALS.
  
YOU DON'T WIND UP IN GOOD PLACES BY ACCIDENT.
                                                        
THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO FACE THE FUTURE.  WITH APPREHENSION OR WITH ANTICIPATION. 
                                                                           
DESIGNING PURPOSE IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS DESIGNING OBJECT. 
              
PURPOSE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN OBJECT.  
                         
DID YOU ACHIEVE THE GOALS OF YOUR LAST FIVE YEARS?                    
NOW IS THE TIME TO FIX THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.  THE FIVE YEARS WILL SURELY PASS.

 WHERE WILL YOU BE? 
                                                      
2)  A DETAILED MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR YOUR PRESENT RESOURCES.     
           
THE KEY TO WEALTH IS NOT WHAT YOU EARN BUT WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT YOU EARN.

 WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT.  
                                        
 HOW TO BECOME FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT FROM THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON.

 LEARN TO LIVE ON 70% OF YOUR NET INCOME AFTER TAXES.
 WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE REMAINING 30%?

TITHE 10%
                                                                     
PAY LAST 20% TO RETIRE DEBT.
 
ONCE DEBTS ARE PAID, INVEST 10%. 

USE 10% AS CAPITAL YOU MANAGE YOURSELF (START A SIDE BUSINESS - DO A LITTLE BUYING AND SELLING).                                                  
                                                                              

3) HAVE A DETAILED PLAN FOR THE USE OF YOUR TIME.     
                        
A GAME PLAN.

MAKE SURE IT’S WRITTEN.

A 90 DAY WRITTEN PLAN. 
                  
OPERATE FROM DOCUMENTS NOT FROM THOUGHT. 
                               
THE DEATH OF A SALESPERSON IS TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND SAY WHAT AM I GOING TO DO TODAY? 
                                                                 
HAVE AN ACTION PLAN.  A GET GOING PLAN. 
                                        
KNOWLEDGE IS NOT THE WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

KNOWLEDGE APPLIED IS THE WAY TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

DON'T BE AN ACCUMULATOR. 
                                         
 WEALTH = 20% SKILL + 80% STRATEGY 
                                            
 YOU'VE GOT TO PLOT AND SCHEME TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE.
                    
 A DETAILED PLAN BRINGS ABOUT DISCIPLINE.
                                     
 4) A CONSISTANT PLAN FOR THE GATHERING OF KNOWLEDGE.
                         
 YOU MUST DELIBERATELY SEARCH FOR IDEAS THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
           
YOUR WRITTEN PLAN MUST CONTAIN A CONSISTANT SEARCH FOR KNOWLEDGE.
            
GO TO THE BOOKSTORE.

GO TO THE LIBRARY (THE SEATS ARE FREE.)
                 
SUCCESS AND FAILURE IS CONSISTANTLY DEBATING.  "WILL HE GO INTO THE LIBRARY?"

FAILURE "NO, HE'LL DRIVE ON BY."  SUCCESS "YES, HE WILL GO IN."
              
 YOU MUST SEARCH AND LOOK FOR IDEAS.  RARELY DOES A GOOD IDEA INTERRUPT YOU.

YOU HAVE TO GO TO CHURCH, CLASSES, BOOKS, SEMINARS AND LECTURES.
             
 YOU MUST LEARN FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE.  LEARN FROM THE DAY. BE LIKE A SPONGE.

 REFLECT ON IT, WHEN THE DAY IS OVER.
                                          
 EXPERIENCE IS COMMODOTY, VALUE, AND CURRENCY.
                                    
"BOTH SUCCESS AND FAILURE COMES FROM SMALL LIFE EXPERIENCES.  IT DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM IT AND WHAT YOU DID ABOUT IT."  THINK AND GROW RICH.
    
DON'T HAVE CASUAL CONVERSATIONS. DON'T BE CASUAL ABOUT THE DAY.

CASUALNESS BRINGS CASUALTIES.
                                                  
ECONOMICALLY, SOCIALLY AND PERSONALLY.  YOU MUST BE INTENSE ABOUT THE DAY.

ABOUT BOTH THE POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES.
                                             
KEEP A JOURNAL. ESTABLISH A LIBRARY.                                          
                                                                                 
5) A CONSTANT ASSOCIATION WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE A COMMON INTEREST IN PROGRESS SUCCESS, IDEAS AND PHILOSOPHY.                                                
                                                                                 
 KEY PHRASE FOR THE DAY:  NEVER MISTAKE THE POWER OF INFLUENCE.                
                                                                                
IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL, YOU'VE GOT TO GET AROUND THE RIGHT PEOPLE.      
                                                                                 
WHERE DO YOU GO WEEKLY FOR YOUR INTELLECTUAL FEAST?                           
                                                                                
WHERE YOU LIVE AND WHO YOU'RE AROUND DOES MATTER.                             
                                                                                
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR ASSOCIATION OF PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN IDEAS AND PROGRESS AND PHILOSOPHY AND SELF-DEVELOPMENT AND POSITIVE THINKING AND ALL OF THE SPIRITUAL APPLICATIONS OF OUR LIFE.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THAT TYPE OF INFLUENCE. BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T YOU WILL WIND UP WHERE YOU DON'T WANT TO BE, WEARING WHAT DON'T WANT TO WEAR, DRIVING WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DRIVE AND MAYBE DOING WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DO. 
                                             

                                                                             
6) A CONSISTANT PLAN FOR DEVELOPING ALL YOUR SKILLS.                          
                                                                              
NEVER CEASE DEVELOPING SKILLS - NO MATTER WHAT AGE.                          
                                                                              
THE KEY TO THE GOOD LIFE IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.                             
                                                                               
WHAT YOU BECOME IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU GET.                         
                                                                               
THE MAJOR QUESTION IN LIFE IS NOT WHAT ARE YOU GETTING BUT WHAT ARE YOU BECOMING.                                                                    
                                                                               
WHEN TAKING A JOB DON'T ASK WHAT YOU WILL GET BUT WHAT WILL YOU BECOME.      
                                                                              
THE KEY TO THE GOOD LIFE IS PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.                             
                                                                              
DEVELOP ALL OF YOUR SKILLS.  (LEADERSHIP, LANGUAGE, COURTEOUSY, DIPLOMACY)   
                                                                              
7) A CONSISTANT PLAN FOR FIGURING WAYS TO LIVE UNIQUELY.  LIFESTYLE           
CHALLENGE:  HOW TO HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU'VE GOT WHILE YOU PURSUE WHAT YOU WANT.
                                                                              
FIGURE WAYS TO LIVE UNIQUELY WITH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.                      
                                                                              
TIP = TO INSURE PROMPTNESS, GIVE IT UP FRONT.  DON'T TAKE A CHANCE ON POOR SERVICE.
