Networking Support for Business Growth

As part of our services for green businesses, we work at times with experts like Glenn Croston who can help entrepreneurs and small businesses to start and grow their business to join the growing green economy. As the founder of Starting Up Green (http://www.startingupgreen.com/) and the author of the books “Starting Green” and “75 Green Businesses”, Glenn knows the inside scoop on the best green opportunities today and how to take them from an idea to a reality. Your initial consultation is free for Glenn to find the opportunity that fits you best, and get started today developing the strategies you need to come out of the downturn on top.

Through his partnership with 3BL Media, Glenn also helps businesses reach hundreds of thousands of people for a low cost. 3BL Media provides a flexible way to get your message delivered through newsfeeds, video channels, bloggers and more, and working with Croston makes it cheap and easy. Beth Remmes, founder of Zola Goods, says “Working with Glenn and 3BL was a great experience all around.” glenn.croston@startingupgreen.com

Scott Cooney is a hands on business consultant in the Bay area, helping start ups and small companies alike in HR, operations and marketing. He can be reached at Scott@GreenBusinessVillage.com.

Mr. Croston and Mr. Cooney are just a couple in our national network that help entrepreneurs. We remain available to help with your business plan as well as provide business opportunities from our company, let alone those that can be provided within our network.

Is Your Metabolism Working FOR YOU?

The way your metabolism functions has everything to do with how you feel, and most importantly, how you either burn fat or store fat. So would you like to learn how to put your body in fat burning mode, rather than fat storing mode?

First, understand that most bodies in today’s world are in fa.t storing mode due to:
• eating foods that provide no energy (high-fat, high-carb, high-calorie foods that lack nutrition), that actually create lethargy or the slowing down of the metabolism
• lack of exercise since most of one’s daily activities are sedentary – sitting!

To put your body in fat burning mode, the key is – reverse it:
• eat foods that are high in nutrition (fresh vegetables, fruits, wholesome grains and legumes, foods lower in calories, fat and carbs), that actually create energy and speeding up your metabolism
• begin your day exercising with a good honest workout and find ways to exercise throughout the day (biking, walking, yard work, etc.)

Here are some ways to specifically speed up your metabolism:
• use different workout methods: stretching (Yoga), wei/ght lifting, aerobic
• alternate methods throughout the week: 30 minutes jogging alternately with walking; 20 minutes wei/ght work preceding a 20 minute aerobic workout; 60 minutes of consistent moderate workout (brisk walking or hiking)
• increase your water intake to aid your body’s cleansing process
• eat smaller meals which include mostly vegetables and a small amount of lean protein, whole grains, or beans; eat fresh fruits or vegetables between meals

Come learn how all this can work for you at the 3-day mountain health retreats next month.

Come and personally experience it all in action. Take time out to sign up right now for the next retreat at this link: http://erleentilton.com/retreats.htm . You owe it to yourself to obtain a healthy wei/ght this year – and you can do it if your metabolism is working in your favor!

For your best health,
Erleen Tilton
