I'm just Janet. I have strengths, weaknesses, fears, happiness, sadness. I experience joy and I experience pain. I'm highly emotional. I'm very vulnerable. And, as anyone who knows me will testify, I'm extremely sensitive. I have lifelong patterns of behaviour that have caused me difficulty - patterns tough to break. Like everyone, I have talents, but with those talents have come challenges. This book is about meeting the challenges that face all of us. For more than three decades, I've struggled with yo-yo dieting. Some of my battles with weight have been very public. But most of it has been internal. Even at my thinnest, when my body was being praised, I wasn't happy with what I saw or how I felt about myself. Infused with stories from fans and friends, Janet offers a candid look into the causes and circumstances behind some of her well-documented weight issues. Far more than a celebrity fitness manifesto, this book is a searingly honest account of the most tumultuous times of her life - from being taunted as a young girl to her internal battles with her beauty and femininity and her desire to fit in. It has taken Janet most of her adult life to come to terms with who she is. True You illuminates the path Janet took in learning how to love herself and finally break free of the attitudes that brought her down.
On February 21, 1981, top distributors of Herbalife International gathered at the Bonaventure Hotel for The Millionaire Training event. Larry Thompson, the 35-year-old Vice President of Sales, took the stage to share fundamental principles of network marketing. Just hours earlier, Herbalife founder Mark Hughes invested $150 to tape the training, making it available in every distributor pack. Those who embraced this training became leading figures in network marketing, with several stories featured in the book. Today, Herbalife ranks as the #2 direct sales company globally, generating over $5 billion in annual sales. Larry Thompson has been a prominent leader in the industry for over 50 years, simplifying sales strategies worldwide. His recent collaboration with Rolf Sorg has propelled PM International to its first billion dollars in annual sales. This book addresses the crucial distinction between marketing and network marketing, emphasizing that while many leaders teach marketing, the average person finds it challenging to implement. Network marketing, however, is straightforward, and understanding its foundational principles allows for adaptation to modern social media marketing techniques. Readers will learn essential concepts such as How to Employ Yourself, The 7 Diseases of Attitude, and the Goldmine Attitude, which are vital for personal and professional growth. Larry Thompson, known as the “Mentor to the Millionaires

GTD è l'acronimo di Getting Things Done, una sigla nota a tutti coloro che hanno già migliorato la loro vita con il programma di David Allen. Nel corso degli anni "Detto, fatto!" è diventato il manuale di riferimento per affrontare ogni tipo di impegno – lavoro, studio, intensa vita personale – in modo rapido ed efficace, e ha generato un'intera cultura di siti web, strumenti organizzativi, seminari e seguaci entusiasti. Ognuno di noi si scontra ogni giorno con l'impossibilità di fare tutto e con l'inevitabile rischio di trascurare le cose importanti o di prendere le decisioni sbagliate. Il metodo del mago della produttività personale ci insegna a raggiungere un obiettivo straordinario: aumentare la nostra capacità di organizzarci e diminuire l'ansia. L'efficienza, spiega Allen, è infatti direttamente proporzionale alla calma e alla lucidità con cui affrontiamo i problemi: solo con una mente sgombra i pensieri possono essere sistematici e la creatività può generare risultati. Passo dopo passo, il libro offre tutti gli strumenti per imparare a raccogliere le informazioni, esaminarle, organizzarle e verificarle per riuscire a gestire ogni impegno, portare a termine le cose fondamentali e… lasciar andare tutto ciò che non è prioritario. L'importante è capire che rallentare con intelligenza significa realizzare più cose in minor tempo, e soprattutto riprendere il controllo della propria vita.
