Introduction:

Again, as we have stated in other modules, being overweight is a warning sign from the body that something is not right.

If you eat foods in a package, no matter how much you eat of these foods, you are malnourished. You are eating highly processed food. And if you look on the labels, if there are more than 5 chemicals, these are what are called highly processed foods. The foods mimic food but lack the proper nutrition. That is one reason you are overweight.

Give Your Body What It Needs To Work Properly:

Take vitamin D, for instance. Low vitamin D levels are linked to being overweight. The bigger you are, the more vitamin D you need to stay healthy. And when you slim down, you need less.

Also, boosting vitamin D in your blood might help you lose fat and weight. One study followed 218 overweight women for a year. They all dieted and exercised, but only some got extra vitamin D. Those who got enough vitamin D lost about 7 pounds more than those who didn't.

Resource: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24622804/

In another study, overweight women took vitamin D for 12 weeks. They didn't lose weight, but their body fat decreased.

How Does Vitamin D Aid Weight Loss?

First, some studies suggest that vitamin D might stop your body from making new fat cells. Yup, it's like putting a pause on fat production.

But wait, there's more! Vitamin D might also tell your body to hold off on storing fat, which could help reduce how much fat builds up.

Resource: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18254883/

Oh, and get this: having more vitamin D might boost your serotonin levels. Serotonin is like your mood boss, but it also helps control your appetite. So, more serotonin might mean feeling fuller for longer and eating less.

Resource: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26899162/

Now, onto testosterone. Yup, vitamin D might bump up your testosterone levels, which could help with weight loss in the long run. There's a study where guys who took vitamin D had more testosterone than those who didn't.

Resource: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25105998/

So, summing it up: vitamin D might help with weight loss by messing with fat cells and boosting serotonin and testosterone levels.

A 2011 study gave 165 men either vitamin D supplements or a placebo for one year. It found that those receiving the supplements experienced greater increases in testosterone levels than the control group .

Several studies have shown that higher levels of testosterone can reduce body fat and help sustain long-term weight loss.

It does this by boosting your metabolism, causing your body to burn more calories after eating. It could also block the formation of new fat cells in the body.

How Much Do You Need?

If you are from 19 to 70 years old, it's suggested to get 600 IU (or 15 micrograms) of vitamin D each day. But here's the thing: taking vitamin D might not be the same for everyone.

Some studies say the dose should depend on how much you weigh. They found that for every pound you weigh, you might need around 32 to 36 IU of vitamin D to keep your levels in check. This could mean needing more than the usual 600 IU if you're heavier.

But be careful! Taking too much vitamin D can be harmful. The max recommended daily dose is 4,000 IU. Some folks have taken up to 10,000 IU a day with no issues, but it's best to talk to your doctor before going over that limit.

So, while the general recommendation is 600 IU a day, it might vary depending on your weight.

The Bottom Line:

Getting enough vitamin D can help balance your hormones and might even help with losing weight and reducing body fat.

When you lose weight, your vitamin D levels might go up, which is good because it helps keep your bones strong and protects you from getting sick.

If you don't get much sun or you're at risk of not having enough vitamin D, taking supplements could be a smart move.

Taking vitamin D supplements might help you manage your weight and keep you healthy overall.

How To Get Vitamin D?

When it comes to increasing your vitamin D levels, nature has some of the best solutions. From soaking up sunlight to indulging in foods rich in vitamin D, there are simple ways to give your body the nutrients it needs. In our upcoming modules, we'll explore these natural sources in more detail and show you how they can benefit your health. Stay tuned for a deeper dive into the wonders of sunlight and vitamin D-rich foods!

Conclusion:

If you have low vitamin D levels, it's recommended to get a blood test. One option to boost your levels is by getting a vitamin D IV bag. Unlike supplements or vitamin-rich foods that take time for your body to use, a vitamin D IV goes straight into your bloodstream, allowing your body to use the nutrients almost immediately. Some people feel more energized within 30 minutes after getting a vitamin D IV, although it won't make you lose weight that quickly.

Introduction:

Elon Musk has a concept that he calls the idiot index, where in building a rocket, he takes the component cost and the cost of the materials ($1,000 component, $100 raw material = idiot index of 10 to 1), finding inefficiencies. Or determining if you are an idiot.

SpaceX’s Raptor rockets cost $2,000,000, with the goal of using the idiot index to bring it down to $200,000. However, according to some leaked resources, Elon’s engineers were able to get it down to $250,000.

So many businesses are not spending their money efficiently in their advertising. However, if we apply Elon’s idiot index to traffic, you will see most business owners are inefficient and see which traffic sources pass Elon Musk’s idiot index.

The marketplace is filled with opportunities promising that they can get you the traffic you need; however, not all traffic sources are created equal.

In other words, if you understand the idiot index, you can achieve far greater results than your competition with less effort and resources.

For example, Kyle Handy is a real estate agent who spent $22,000 on Google ads, which brought in $41,324 and a profit of $19,324. So, he brought in a return of almost 87%. However, Tony Kelso invested $50,626 in direct mail that brought in $543,390, just shy of 1,120%.

So, it’s not about buying into the hype but understanding the economics of each advertising model by applying Elon Musk’s idiot index.

So, I asked ChatGPT to use Elon Musk’s “idiot index” in comparing different marketing channels to find the best traffic sources.

As you saw in the case of Kyle Handy and Tony Kelso, it’s not just about making money, because both made money, but what is the most productive money spent.

The productivity of advertising is a combination of a few different factors, including a person’s sales ability. So, even though two companies may be selling the exact same product, using the same traffic source, one may outsell the other because of their personal sales ability. However, ChatGPT did not give me the exact number but ranked each traffic source from high, moderate, low, and then ranked the top 5 based on this research.

So, we did additional research to find what the average business is spending and how much they are earning. Research can be dry at times; however, this is important for you because this data will arm you with knowledge that 99% of other businesses do not have access to. So, let’s dive into this.

Introduction:

Finding a woman who will be your sexual partner is not hard. Finding a woman who will be your friend is not hard. Finding a woman who will be a team player is not hard. But finding all these qualities in one woman is not easy. Finding a woman who is loyal until death do us part is.

Being With The Wrong Woman Will Sabotage Your Life:

We’ve all heard that behind every successful man is a supportive wife. Feminism has misled people by suggesting that if one person succeeds, they are taking something away from others.

A family can accomplish much more when they work together as a team rather than individually.

One of the world's most famous billionaires financed a 25-year study on what makes a person thrive. This study found 17 principles that lead to success, 33 reasons why people fail, and 6 ways people sabotage themselves.

One of the factors that causes people to fail is being with the wrong woman. Your emotional, physical, and financial future could be in jeopardy by being with the wrong woman.

Understanding The Warning Signs:

These warning signs are known as red flags. Red flags build up over time.

Broken people don’t put in the work to overcome their baggage. They don’t understand the value of admitting faults and shortcomings, and they don’t work to overcome their issues.

If they can’t work on themselves, they can't work on a relationship or marriage.

What It Means To Be Damaged:

Men and women can both be damaged; however, damaged women push boundaries. They are glad for the freedom they have, but this causes them to disrespect their man, wondering why he doesn’t stand up to her.

A nice guy tries to make peace and won’t say what's on his mind for the sake of peace, but it digs him deeper each time because she sees him as weak, not loving, and will keep pushing until he finally stands up to her or the relationship ends.

Don't Ignore The Warning Signs:

Overly nice guys don’t leave when they see red flags. Don’t let your need for being a good guy cause you to overlook her warning signs because instead of helping her, she will drag you down with them.

The 48 Laws of Power warn us to avoid losers, and the Bible Proverbs 26:17 explains: Like one who grabs a stray dog by the ears is someone who rushes into a quarrel not their own.

It is not your job to save her; leave that to someone else.

#1 She Is Not Financially Responsible?

This can mean a woman who cannot control her spending habits or a woman who is not earning enough to properly take care of herself.

Industrial Revolution Killed The Family:

The idea of the stay-at-home housewife is often referred to as the 'good old days'; however, if you watch documentaries about those alive during the 1920s, they believed those were the true 'good old days.'

It seems that every generation looks at the previous generation as the 'good old days.'

The idea of the stay-at-home wife had a short life.

The Industrial Revolution destroyed the family.

In previous generations, husbands, wives, and even children worked together to provide for the family. They were a close family unit; however, the Industrial Revolution destroyed this.

Men started leaving their families at home and working jobs that made women dependent on their husbands for support.

This was a time when more modern movies of the 1950s showed women getting bored and looking for ways to escape.

We have the idea that the 1950s were morally pure; however, magazine articles of the time showed that there was an increase in couples being disloyal to each other because they spent so much more time apart from each other than they had in the past, which led to changes in laws in the 1960s to provide for women if the marriage ends.

I Can Provide For Myself:

Many feminists are confused because they are not in a relationship. They say: 'I can provide for myself, I have a car, I can pay rent by myself.'

They act like this is a selling point:

'Welcome to being an adult.'

Sure, at times, because of bad choices and circumstances, people get into bad financial situations, but having an income is not a selling point for a relationship with a woman.

The Down Side For Having A Stay At Home Wife As A Man:

The wife gives up her career to stay at home, while the husband goes off to work. The husband feels unappreciated because he usually overly focuses on the financial stability he provides and neglects the other needs his wife has. Because her needs are not being met, she is always in a bad mood, sex disappears, the wife gets bored, finds someone who excites her, ends up cheating, then leaves the relationship and divorces him. She is financially rewarded for leaving him by the family courts.

When women are damaged and we don’t see the warning signs, the woman we marry is not the same woman who divorces you. This is why you need to see the warning signs, and if you're already married to her, you need to arm yourself with the knowledge to protect yourself.

Does She Over Spend?

Being able to control her spending habits is also another warning sign because some of these women feel they don’t have a spending problem and turn it around on the man, blaming him for having an earning problem.

This type of woman can financially ruin you; however, another problem is that this type of woman might be addicted to the emotional rush of shopping.

What Her Over Spending Really Means:

We are a cocktail of brain chemicals; one of these chemicals is serotonin (happiness) and dopamine (pleasure). If a woman is overspending to get a surge of dopamine.

This dopamine addiction can lead to turning shopping into alcohol, drugs, or even the excitement of other men.

So be careful.

About a year before I got with my wife, every weekend she would spend almost her entire paycheck on clothes. Then, once a year when she got bored, she would give away her clothes. This way, she would have room in her closet for new clothes.

Just like she got bored of her clothes, she got bored of me and moved on. It is not her fault. It was because I did not know how to identify the warning signs.

She gave me all the warning signs that she was dangerous.

#2 Was She Abusive Childhood?

Another warning sign I didn't understand was her childhood abuse. When I looked at her very young childhood pictures, she had a big smile like young girls do. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped smiling. When I asked her about it, she said she didn't like to smile back then.

Around 20 years later, I have a picture where she is just starting to smile again. About a year after this picture was taken, she had a full smile again.

Almost every woman who wants to run away when things get hard comes from a bad childhood, an abusive childhood, abandonment issues, sexual abuse, or creepy uncles. Women who come from divorced homes have increased odds of divorce.

Many damaged women try to scare men with their childhood stories. However, what is known as the nicest guy says: "It will take more than that to scare me away."

These types of men want to be noble and stay around. Instead, he should ask her how she is healing from the trauma and what she has done or is doing to stop these issues from negatively affecting her life.

How she reacts will tell you a lot about whether you should give the relationship a chance. Many women don’t like to admit something is wrong with them. It makes them feel they are wrong. They take it as a personal attack. Most women have not dealt with these issues.

Young girls end up becoming the things they hate in their mothers.

My wife was upset with how her mother treated her father. She told me how her mother always pushed her father's buttons. I wanted to pull out my hair in frustration. "Don't you see you do the same thing to me?"

You may need to ask yourself, "Why are you with her? Do you like to save women? Do you want to be her knight in shining armor?" If so, this may reveal some of your own traumas of codependency.

My friend, L, has a history of trying to save damaged women. He has been married 3 times to very damaged women. His current wife, whom he broke up with, he put her on a train and started crying. He felt bad and took her back which, 4 kids later, has destroyed his life.

He said to me, "If only I left her on the bus." However, I told him, "By what you have told me, you would have ended up with another broken and damaged woman.

#3 Is She Divorced:

Seventy percent of women initiate divorce, and ninety percent of college-educated women initiate divorce in the USA. This trend occurs because women are rewarded for divorcing their husbands. However, women who are broken become addicted to dopamine.

Dopamine is a pleasure-inducing neurotransmitter. The brain responds to stimuli like sugar, drugs, and sex by releasing dopamine. Over time, the brain adjusts, requiring more intense stimuli to achieve the same dopamine levels. This phenomenon contributes to obesity, as individuals seek more food for the same pleasure.

Similarly, in relationships, individuals may not experience the same level of pleasure as before. Some may mistake this for unhappiness. Those who repeatedly divorce or move from one relationship to another are often addicted to dopamine.

When a woman's dopamine levels return to normal, if she is damaged, she may leave her partner to seek someone who can stimulate her dopamine levels once again.

A study from the University of Chicago found no evidence that unhappy people who divorced were any happier than those who stayed together. The study revealed that divorce did not typically reduce depression or raise self-esteem. Unhappiness is not solely caused by marriage, even when considering factors such as income, age, gender, and education.

There are numerous unintended consequences that can wreak havoc on your life. Damaged individuals often focus on the present moment without considering the consequences of divorce.

Platforms like TikTok are filled with damaged women venting about their misery after divorcing their husbands and highlighting how well their ex-partners' lives are now.

Interestingly, five years later, the study found that two-thirds of couples were happy once again. This outcome aligns with our understanding of brain chemistry.

While there are circumstances where divorce may be the only option, understanding the reasons behind the divorce can provide valuable insights. It helps determine whether she was chasing dopamine or if there were legitimate reasons for the divorce.

#4 Does She Have Children:

Kids complicate things, when a couple has kids together they work together as a team however, if you are in a relationship with woman who has kids the kids will always come before you which is a headache most men do not want to deal with. 

One the other hand, a woman who has multiple kids from different men is worse. Often times this is a warning sign of who is addicted to the excitement of dopamine.

She does not have the emotional state to avoid making a mistake. She may only be in the moment, impulsive and other negative traits.

You do not want to be with a woman like this. 

#5 Is She A Recovering Addict?

Everyone deserves a second chance, but they need to prove themselves. The question will always come up: are they using again? What people are really addicted to is dopamine. There are healthy addictions; you can be addicted to working out. However, many exchange one addiction for another.

#6 Can She Control Her Emotions?

Broken women act like children because when the stress gets too much, they behave like children. Overly nice men give women the benefit of the doubt.

Emotional outbursts are seen as normal female behavior. Society wants us to be overly compassionate and ignore warning signs that she is dangerous. Her outbursts stem from her inability to cope with everyday life. Society does not expect women to cope.

Despite how these damaged women act, they are still adults. They need to learn how to control their emotions.

Many overly nice men end up apologizing to her for her outbursts because she manipulates them into believing it was their fault.

These women are adults, even if something he did caused her to lose control. Men would not be able to act like children, and neither should she.

If you are in a relationship like this, you need to learn how to set boundaries. Many overly nice men are often afraid of their wives because they do not want to upset them and end up becoming a shell of the men they were before.

If you do not want to end up like this, then avoid women with emotional issues.

#7 Does She Lie?

She may only tell what are known as white lies; however, if she can mislead you, this does not mean she will be capable of telling more serious lies.

If she lies, you need to find out what she is hiding because she is probably lying to cover up a much bigger issue.

You need to discover what she is hiding. Do not cave into her emotions, crocodile tears, and gaslighting. It may be something as simple as overspending, but you may also find evidence for the end of your relationship.

#8 Does She Have Male Friends?

She may say that men are easier to be friends with because women have drama, which may be true. However, more than likely, the attention from men fills a hole in her soul.

Men who are friends with women know that the men want a relationship with her and may do everything in their power to sabotage your relationship with her for a chance to be with her.

The chances of your woman acting inappropriately, even if she does not cheat on you, go way up when surrounded by men.

#9 Is She Jealous?

Extreme jealousy stems from an unhealthy fear of abandonment.

In my own case, my wife wanted to watch me have sex with other women, but not without her. She worried I would cheat without her watching. She checked my phone because I was having financial problems; she believed I was supporting another family, and that's why I had less money.

Extremely jealous women will often cheat on you before you cheat on them. Even if you have no intentions of cheating, this is what she believes in her mind. "I knew you were going to cheat on me anyway," or she will do something to break your trust in her.

Either way, it's something to sabotage the relationship.

#10 She Moves To Fast:

In my own case, I should have known this was a warning sign. However, my wife and I went to Disneyland, and once we got back home, we had the best make-out session of my life. Even after we were married, I never felt anything like that again.

I was from a small town and moved to Los Angeles, which to the locals, I was naive. I was with old-school, religious values to wait until you're married to have sex. However, soon after, she tried to put my hand down her pants.

Women who are ready for sex so quickly after meeting them bond with the man quickly. Like in my case, she wanted to spend every minute of every day with me. To a man, it feels great to be wanted and desired.

You have learned about dopamine so far. She became addicted to me, but after we got married, it dried up, and she got bored with me.

Broken women, often times Socialpaths, end up codependent people. I gave her everything she needed, and in turn, she gave me everything I needed. However, it was not until after we were married that I began to see the warning signs.

On the other hand, mentally healthy women want to take things slow to have a greater chance we are good for each other.

#11 She Has A Mental Disorder:

At its core, a mental disorder is how well damaged women handle the baggage in life and if they have learned to process it.

If these types of women (and men too, but this module focuses on women) have not learned how to deal with past trauma, they can be stuck in the same place for years.

It takes a lot of patience to be in a relationship with a person like this. Depending on the type of trauma, these women can have the same maturity level as a young child. They may experience panic attacks, struggle to cope with crowds, and may create a reality in their heads that just isn’t true.

Yes, a therapist can help, medication may help, but thriving in a relationship with a woman like this is impossible.

Note: There is a difference between a mental disorder and what is known as neuro-diversity, which means you don’t think the same way many other people do. These people are highly creative, intelligent, and great problem solvers.

#12 She Does Not Introduce You To Her Family

This can mean a woman who cannot control her spending habits or a woman who is not earning enough to properly take care of herself.

You may hear horror stories about her family; however, once you meet the family, they don’t seem that bad.

I have heard stories where the woman tells stories about how bad her family is; however, once you meet them, the family may say, 'You're such a nice person,' but warn you about their daughter, sister, cousin, etc.

I know men who ignored these warning signs where the women ended up destroying the men's lives.

#13 She Is Controlling:

In the beginning of a relationship, men and women will adhere to traditional male and female gender roles. However, as the relationship continues, both can let down their guard and the roles start to reverse. Women will try to take over what they do not think the men are handling, and she becomes the dominant figure in the relationship because the man believes this is making her happy.

She needs to be able to trust the man she is with to be the leader. Men may have had bad examples of how to lead, and even if he is trustworthy, because of childhood trauma, she cannot trust him to take the lead.

The result may lead to a lack of intimacy, where the wife begins to dream of leaving the relationship, while the husband enjoys his life. If she is controlling in the beginning, it will only get worse when married.

In my own experience, my wife adored me at the beginning of our relationship; however, over time, she grew bored with me and became controlling.

After the relationship ended, some of my friends told me, 'Yes, we talked about how mean she was to you.'

You then think, 'Why didn’t you say anything to her?' However, she did have a friend who was emotionally strong and stood up to her, telling her that she was being mean to me.

This is because I did not know how to set boundaries yet, and I did not demand to be treated right. This is a skill I had to learn, which we talk about in other modules.

#14 She Is High Maintenance:

Women can’t go backwards financially, men can’t go backwards sexually. If you're dating a woman who expects certain things, it's probably because of her parents or past boyfriends who either did everything for her or were in a situation to spoil her because they had the resources and didn't think much of it.

This is often known as the “alpha widow” phenomenon; look it up.

I have been around a lot of wealth. I met a girl that I liked; the mother was trying to set us up, but a friend of hers told me to run. She had gotten everything she ever asked for and was spoiled.

It's not that I couldn't get to that point financially, but it's because she would expect it.

#15 Her Sex Drive Does Not Match Your's:

The most passionate you will ever be for each other is at the beginning of the relationship. So, her sex drive only drops as time goes on, especially if she gets bored with you; however, in most cases, it is a health problem.

We are a cocktail of brain chemicals that cause us to do and act in certain ways. In men, it is the chemical testosterone that drives them to typically have a higher sex drive than women.

#16 Does She Have A History Of Dating Ass-Holes?

Most men find strippers, porn stars, and OnlyFans models attractive; however, most of these women are dangerous, and these men know not to get into a relationship with them.

On the other hand, damaged women get with men whom they know are bad for them. These types of women get a dopamine rush from the bad boy.

Once she is with a bad boy, you will never make her happy.

There is a term called “Alpha Widow”; this refers to the guy who pushed all her buttons but would not stay with her. She will forever compare you to him.

Once a woman has been with a "bad boy" she will never be content with a "nice guy".

#16 She Has A High Body Count:

The more people a person has sex with, the less happy they will be in a marriage

Women who have sex with promiscuous men have an increased risk of divorce because of the impact this has on the bonding hormone “oxytocin".

Women, on the other hand, will compare you to all the men she has been with, not just sexually. She will want all the qualities of the men she admires in one man, which is not possible.

#19 Is She Abusive?

This can mean physically or emotionally abusive. Many 'nice guys' put up with abusive women because men are physically stronger, but that doesn't make it right. Because I didn't know how to read my wife's warning signs after we were married, she became abusive. My wife used to tell me, 'I felt like hitting you.' She never did, but if a man said that to anyone, it wouldn't be acceptable. However, many people allow women to act like children. These are the types of women who, when they have children, end up abusing them.

#17 She Grew Up Without A Father Figure:

Women who have a close relationship with their father have realistic expectations, a higher sense of responsibility, and better coping skills for life challenges.

The article on how fathers affect their daughters from family studies states that women with a healthy relationship with their fathers are more likely to turn to boyfriends for support and less likely to be talked into having sex. These women tend to have longer-lasting, more satisfying relationships.

If she does not have a healthy relationship with her father, she will lack the tools to have a healthy relationship with you.

The family seemed to have a lack of respect for father figures. Even the men in the family did not respect other men besides themselves.

Years after my divorce, I met someone who knew the family. In a group conversation with the father, my wife's father jokingly said his family does not respect him because he was never around. He had to work long hours away from the family.

Being with me, my wife's relationship with her father improved. She was the only one who regularly called him, and we lived the farthest from him.

One day, my wife's father was venting to her about how none of the other kids called him, and he started to cry. She heard her mother in the background and hung up on him so he would stop crying.

Later, she called him back, apologized, and told him she hung up on him because she did not want her mom to hear him cry and take it out on him.

The mother seemed to be a sweet lady; however, at home with her husband, she was abusive, which drove him to drinking.

#18 She Is Secretive About Her Past:

Women love to share things about their lives. However, if she is not telling you about her life, the reason is probably not good. She is likely hiding something that you will not like, and later down the road, it may lead to other red flags.

My wife did not share much about her life or her family. A friend of hers, who grew up with her, mentioned after the end of my marriage that the family was always secretive about something. What we thought of as abusive in the family was something the family wanted to keep secret.

Even her mother, when I met her, did not exactly lie to me but wanted me to believe something other than the truth about her.

We Are All Damaged:

We are all damaged; you also have some red flags that women need to look out for. The key is not to find a woman who has no red flags but to find a woman who has red flags that you can deal with.

Some of the red flags are a bigger warning sign than others. You also need to work on your red flags to be the type of man that the women you are attracted to find attractive.

Conclusion:

It seems that every generation looks at the previous generation as the 'good old days.'

The idea of the stay-at-home wife had a short life.

The Industrial Revolution destroyed the family.

In previous generations, husbands, wives, and even children worked together to provide for the family. They were a close family unit; however, the Industrial Revolution destroyed this.

Men started leaving their families at home and working jobs that made women dependent on their husbands for support.

This was a time when more modern movies of the 1950s showed women getting bored and looking for ways to escape.

We have the idea that the 1950s were morally pure; however, magazine articles of the time showed that there was an increase in couples being disloyal to each other because they spent so much more time apart from each other than they had in the past, which led to changes in laws in the 1960s to provide for women if the marriage ends.

Reports show that there are 25 million one-person-owned businesses operating without any employees, and only about 36,000 of them, or 0.14%, make a million dollars a year or more.

Only about 9% of businesses reach a million dollars a year, but achieving it on a shoestring budget without any employees is even harder, with only 0.14% able to achieve this.

There is a difference between traditional businesses and one-person-owned businesses in that these types of businesses tend to be lifestyle businesses. A lifestyle business supports the owner's lifestyle and provides the freedom to be at home with their families or travel more, etc.

However, what matters is not what helped certain people become successful but what will give you the best odds of success.

The businesses with the most million-dollar businesses are:

• Real Estate
• Real Estate Related Services
• Automotive Dealers
• Medical Offices
• Restaurants

However, the businesses that have the greatest advantage of being a millionaire as a single owned business owner are:

• Real Estate
• Personal/Professional Services
• Info Products
• Manufacturing
• E-commerce

Many of these one-person businesses that make a million dollars use multiple strategies because the average millionaire has seven streams of income.

For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger became a millionaire long before his first movie, and he did not get rich as a bodybuilder. As the winner of Mr. Olympia, he was only paid $750, so he needed to find another way.

As a broke bodybuilder under the mentorship of Joe Weider, he started creating bodybuilding books and doing seminars. He then leveraged the followings of other experts and companies to sell his books and seminars, avoiding hefty advertising costs. The profits he made were reinvested into real estate, which is how he made his first million. This financial stability gave him the freedom to pursue acting.

Real Estate: 43.2% of the richest Americans own rental property, and 25.2% of the richest Americans are involved in real estate-related services, which would include being real estate agents and mortgage brokers. According to a 2014 NAR report, 87% of all new agents fail after five years in the industry, with only 13% becoming successful.

The average real estate agent makes around $40,000 per year; however, Jim Fleck made $3 million dollars in his first 9 months in real estate by combining real estate and info marketing, establishing himself as the most credible expert in his field.

Personal/Professional Services: This includes anything from accounting, business coaching, doctors, joint venture brokers, nutritionists, personal trainers, to working as a travel agent.

Operating in these fields as a one-person business limits your time. Many business owners combine their business with info marketing, which helps establish them as the most credible experts in their field, enabling them to charge premium prices.

Doctors and medical professionals are among the top five businesses with the most millionaires; however, selling books and courses helps them establish credibility.

If you are a startup with little or no financial resources, you may not have the means to advertise your products or services. However, the smartest entrepreneurs use joint ventures instead of spending money on advertising, leveraging influencers' social media followings or other companies' customer bases to build their own.

Joint ventures are how John Reese, as a one-person business owner, went from a profit of $5,500 to $100,000 in a 7-day period, then achieved a million dollars in a 24-hour period, ending the year with several million dollars. Jeff Walker, a stay-at-home dad, made no money for 6 years. After 9 years, he made a total of $210,000; then, after using someone else's following to build his customer base, he made $3.5 million over a 35-hour period.

Info Marketing: People spend a billion dollars a day on finding information through books, courses, and coaching programs to solve their problems. Many traditional businesses underestimate the power of books and courses; however, info marketing establishes these businesses as the most established experts in their field.

You may be familiar with Robert Kiyosaki of the Rich Dad Poor Dad books, Dave Asprey raised $60 million for his coffee brand because of his book The Bulletproof Diet, and Alexa von Tobel's website was acquired by a major investment firm for $250M partly because of her book that helped establish her as an expert.

Manufacturing: If you have an idea for a product, you can hire a company to manufacture it for you. There are what are called white-labeled products where a company will manufacture the products for you and can stick your label on them, selling them under your brand.

In many cases, these businesses start with information marketing. Bill Phillips started his newsletter with a $180 investment and, as he became more successful, started recommending products in his newsletter. He then improved his company's image, transitioning from writing a newsletter to creating a magazine, then releasing different books. From there, he began manufacturing his own protein powder and nutrition products, ultimately selling his company for $300 million.

E-commerce: In years past, setting up a store required significant capital and resources. With technology becoming more affordable, it's easier now, but with paid advertising, costs can still rise.

Network marketing is often looked down upon but is one of the best businesses for single business owners to become millionaires because the company has invested in the infrastructure, and the marketing systems are all you need to do is sell the products.

With Network Marketing, this is often done through friends and family, which can make a person feel uncomfortable.

The purpose of advertising and building a customer base is that when someone has built a large enough following, they can send out a message to their followers via email, social media posts, or mail campaigns. Only a small percentage of their following needs to respond to reach their income goal.

However, building a following large enough to reach your income goal may require a lot of time, effort, and financial resources.

But just think how much easier it would be to find someone who is already successful to send out a message to their following endorsing you and what you have to offer.

The first time I did this, I made a deal with Joel Broughton, who sent out an email endorsing my new weight loss product to his customer base. Within the next 6 hours, after sending out that email within my first 24 hours, I made $14,100.

The next time I did this, I put a project together with Al Nin. We landed a deal with his dentist and partnered up with several beauty salons, providing them with marketing material that turned into 3200 new patients in the first 90 days at $2000 per patient for a total of $6.5 million over the next 12 months.

People love the idea of using someone else’s following to build their customer base, but going from idea to action may still raise many questions. So, we created a special website to answer your questions and explain how this all works at GetClients.AlphaLifestyleAcademy.com.

Introduction

Elon Musk has a concept that he calls the idiot index, where in building a rocket, he takes the component cost and the cost of the materials ($1,000 component, $100 raw material = idiot index of 10 to 1), finding inefficiencies. Or determining if you are an idiot.

SpaceX's Raptor rockets cost $2,000,000, with the goal of using the idiot index to bring it down to $200,000. However, according to some leaked resources, Elon’s engineers were able to get it down to $250,000.

So many businesses are not spending their money efficiently in their advertising. However, if we apply Elon’s idiot index to traffic, you will see most business owners are inefficient and see which traffic sources pass Elon Musk's idiot index.

The marketplace is filled with opportunities promising that they can get you the traffic you need; however, not all traffic sources are created equal.

In other words, if you understand the idiot index, you can achieve far greater results than your competition with less effort and resources.

For example, Kyle Handy is a real estate agent who spent $22,000 on Google ads, which brought in $41,324 and a profit of $19,324. So, he brought in a return of almost 87%. However, Tony Kelso invested $50,626 in direct mail that brought in $543,390, just shy of 1,120%.

So, it's not about buying into the hype but understanding the economics of each advertising model by applying Elon Musk's idiot index.

So, I asked ChatGPT to use Elon Musk's "idiot index" in comparing different marketing channels to find the best traffic sources.

As you saw in the case of Kyle Handy and Tony Kelso, it's not just about making money, because both made money, but what is the most productive money spent.

The productivity of advertising is a combination of a few different factors, including a person's sales ability. So, even though two companies may be selling the exact same product, using the same traffic source, one may outsell the other because of their personal sales ability. However, ChatGPT did not give me the exact number but ranked each traffic source from high, moderate, low, and then ranked the top 5 based on this research.

So, we did additional research to find what the average business is spending and how much they are earning. Research can be dry at times; however, this is important for you because this data will arm you with knowledge that 99% of other businesses do not have access to. So, let's dive into this.

Idiot Index: High

Search: The advantage of search-based advertising is that traffic from search engines consists of an audience actively looking to buy, unlike most advertising, which is what is called interruption advertising, such as what happens on social media and TV.

As you watch TV or are browsing the internet you are introduced to different products. This is what is meant by interruption marketing.

• Google AdWords:

  • Idiot Index: High
  • ROI: Brandcampdigital.com says: On average, Google Ad bring you a return of $2 for every $1 invested.
  • Explanation: Google AdWords allows businesses to create and manage pay-per-click (PPC) ads on Google's search engine and partner networks. While setting up ad campaigns is relatively user-friendly, achieving optimal results requires understanding keyword research, bidding strategies, and ad targeting

• Yahoo/Bing Advertising:

  • Idiot Index: High
  • Explanation: Advertising on Yahoo and Bing involves similar principles to Google AdWords but may have differences in audience demographics and ad platform functionality.
    Advantages: Bing's average CVR is slightly better than what we see on Google Ads. There are some advantages over Google ads with Bing and Yahoo for some companies, so we advise doing more research to see if Bing and/or Yahoo is right for you.

• Display Ads:

  • Idiot Index: High
  • ROI: According to Webfx.com, for every $1 invested, display ads bring in a return of $2.
  • Explanation: Display advertising involves placing visual ads (banner ads) on websites and mobile apps. While setup and targeting options are relatively simple, achieving high engagement and conversion rates may require experimentation and optimization.

    [adrotate group="32"]

Idiot Index: Moderate To High

• Paid Social Media Ads: There is a lot of hype regarding social media advertising because these channels have massive audiences. However, due to the sheer volume of messages bombarding us, many ads go unnoticed. Chi posted a report in 2023 stating that in 2008, it took someone seeing our ads 5-8 times before remembering us. However, today, with the overwhelming amount of messages on social media, it takes someone seeing our ads 500 times before they remember us.

But on social media, that's why we are often only charged per click. However, when the economy is good, due to the popularity of social media, the top social media companies raise their prices. According to an article from Business Insider in July 2021, five major social media platforms are showing a dramatic increase in advertising costs year-over-year.

• Google and YouTube’s CPM increased by 108%.
• Facebook ad costs had an 89% increase, while the average CPM was $11.
• TikTok's CPM went up by 92%.
• Snapchat had "the lowest" increase in CPM at 64%.

According to an article at https://gitnux.org/social-media-marketing-roi-statistics/#:~:text=The%20average%20ROI%20for%20social,media%20conversion%20rate%20was%209.3%25, social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested. However, this is why skill is important because I personally know people who earn a return of $4.80 for every dollar they spend on social media advertising.

If you have a large advertising budget, social media may give you the traffic you need. However, if you are a smaller company, social media is not the best option for you.

[adrotate group="32"]

• Facebook Advertising:

  • Idiot Index: Moderate to High
  • ROI: Social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested.
  • Explanation: Facebook's advertising platform offers a wide range of targeting options and ad formats, making it powerful but potentially complex for beginners. However, its user-friendly interface and extensive resources make it accessible to marketers of varying skill levels.

  • Idiot Index: Moderate to High
  • ROI: Social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested.
  • Explanation: Twitter's advertising platform allows businesses to promote tweets, profiles, and trends to targeted audiences. While the setup is relatively straightforward, achieving success may require experimentation and familiarity with Twitter's user behavior.

• Pinterest Advertising:

  • Idiot Index: Moderate to High
  • ROI: Social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested.
  • Explanation: Pinterest's advertising platform enables businesses to promote pins to users based on interests, keywords, and demographics. While visually-driven and intuitive, maximizing ROI may require understanding Pinterest's unique audience and content preferences.

• LinkedIn Advertising:

  • Idiot Index: Moderate to High
  • ROI: Social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested.
  • Explanation: LinkedIn's advertising platform targets professionals and businesses, offering options for sponsored content, text ads, and sponsored InMail. While targeting options are robust, achieving optimal results may require knowledge of LinkedIn's professional user behavior.

• YouTube Advertising:

  • Idiot Index: Moderate to High
  • ROI: Social media advertising has an average return of $2.50 for every dollar invested.
  • Explanation: YouTube advertising involves creating and optimizing video ads to reach targeted audiences. While the platform offers extensive reach and targeting options, producing compelling video content and analyzing performance metrics may require expertise.

    [adrotate group="32"]

Idiot Index: Moderate

• Media, Influencer Marketing:

  • Idiot Index: Moderate
  • ROI: There are reports that show influencer marketing brings an 11x return. However, influencermarketinghub.com suggests this is an overestimation. Nevertheless, influencer marketing still yields better returns than if you had invested the same money into social media.
  • Tips: Influencer marketing capitalizes on the relationships influencers have with their following. Similarly to word-of-mouth advertising, it seems to be very effective if you don’t focus on the size of the following but rather the relationship they have with their audience.
  • Explanation: Content marketing encompasses various channels and formats, each with its own level of complexity. While creating content is accessible, developing a comprehensive content strategy and measuring effectiveness require expertise.

• Print Advertising (Newspapers, Magazines, Flyers, Postcards):

  • Idiot Index: Moderate
  • ROI: Magazines deliver a higher ROI on advertising spending across all media, averaging a $3.94 return on every dollar spent. That’s 50% higher than all other categories. Nielsen also looked into this and found magazines had the highest aggregate ROI over TV, online, online video, and outdoor.
  • Explanation: Print advertising involves placing ads in traditional print media. While the concept is familiar, achieving effective reach and ROI may require understanding audience demographics and publication circulation.

• Broadcast Advertising (Radio and TV):

  • Idiot Index: Moderate
  • ROI: TV has a return of 300-500%, or a return of $3-5 for every dollar invested. However, iheartradio says it will bring you a return of $6 for every dollar you invest. TV and radio are out of the price range for many of us. So, if you are considering TV or radio, you should look at local options. There is new technology that makes it easier to target certain viewers, similar to what can be done through the internet.
  • Explanation: Broadcast advertising involves airing commercials on radio and television. While reaching mass audiences, creating impactful ads and negotiating media buys may require expertise.

    [adrotate group="32"]

Idiot Index: Low

• SEO (Search Engine Optimization):

  • Idiot Index: Low
  • Cost: On average, SEO costs range from $100 to $250 per hour for US SEO agencies. Monthly SEO costs typically fall between $2,500 and $10,000 for US agencies, with the average SEO plan costing around $2,819 per month.
  • ROI: TeraKeet estimates that the average ROI of SEO ranges from 550% to 1,220%.
  • Explanation: SEO involves optimizing website content and structure to improve organic search engine rankings. While the concept is straightforward, implementing effective SEO strategies requires technical knowledge and ongoing monitoring and adjustments.
  • Downside: SEO involves analyzing data to find the perfect balance of keywords that receive enough traffic and are not overly competitive. Using overly competitive keywords may lead to a loss of potential profits. It may also take months before you see any results. We suggest setting a budget of at least 12 months to see results.

• Content Marketing (Blogging, Video Marketing, Podcasting, Organic Social Media, Influencer Marketing):

  • Idiot Index: Low
  • ROI: Sitecore states that across all industries, the average return on investment was 748%, assuming consistent weekly publication. For example, the Cleveland Clinic invested $100,000 for a team to create content that brought in a return of $790,000 in the first year however, overtime because of the amount of content you have out on the internet it continues to drive more and more traffic.

• Explanation: Content marketing encompasses various channels and formats, each with its level of complexity. While creating content is accessible, developing a comprehensive content strategy and measuring effectiveness require expertise.
• Top producing content are:

TOP 5 Highest ROI Traffic Sources

• Direct Mail / FlyersIdiot Index:
• Idiot Index: #5
• ROI: Postpilot, an automated postcard marketing company, reports a return of 400-700%. However, Tony Kelso saw a return of 1,120% by sending out a postcard. He employed a strategy called farming, marketing to the same neighborhoods every 2-4 weeks.
• Explanation: Direct mail involves sending physical promotional materials via postal mail. While conceptually simple, achieving high response rates and ROI may require targeted segmentation and compelling creative.

• Cold Calling:

  • Idiot Index: #3
  • ROI: I couldn't find online data for the average ROI for cold calling. However, according to marketingcharts.com, cold calling is the best way to generate interested prospects, even beating direct mail, social media, and display ads.
  • Cost: Expenses include CRM ($300), numbers to call ($150), and phone bill ($50).
  • Tip: Based on my own research, cold calling has an ROI of 3,000%. Over a 6-8 hour period, you can generate 20-30 interested prospects per day and close 10-15 sales a week, generating $18,000 a month at just $300 per sale.
  • Explanation: Cold calling involves reaching out to potential customers via phone. While conceptually simple, success depends on communication skills and overcoming objections.

• Cold Emailing:

  • Idiot Index: #2
  • ROI: Cold emailing has an ROI of $36 for every $1 invested or 3,600%. However, Hubspot claims email has an ROI of 4,400%.
  • Cost: Expenses include an autoresponder for sending out thousands of emails, domains for compliance, and a scrapper for finding email addresses to send.
  • Explanation: Cold emailing is not spam. It involves reaching out to potential customers via email. While conceptually simple, success depends on communication skills and overcoming objections.

• Joint Ventures:

  • Idiot Index: #1
  • ROI: Returns can vary, but the first time I used a joint venture, I saw a return of over 7,000%. In other words, I spent $200 and brought in $14,100 in just 6 hours.

Conclusion

The numbers you see here represent what the average business is spending on traffic for each platform, but who wants to be average? The real potential of each of these traffic methods lies in developing your selling and marketing skills to achieve better results than what you see in this article.

Paid social media has an ROI of 250%, or $2.50 for every $1 you invest in advertising. However, by introducing multiple products to those same customers over time and selling to them repeatedly, I know contacts who are earning $50 for every $1 they invest in advertising but it will take a while to get you to that point.

The first time I used a joint venture, I had a return of 7,000%. The next time I used joint ventures, I made a deal with Al Nin, where we landed a deal with his dentist. We provided them with marketing material, and in the first 90 days, that generated 3,200 new patients at an average of $2,000 per patient for a total of $6.5 million dollars over the next 12 months.

I am not sure what was invested into this project; however, it is somewhere in the range of a return of 65,000%.

Joint Ventures come in at #1 as the most profitable form of advertising, but then we combine them with cold calling, email, social media, and other tools to get our message out to our audiences.

Bill Gates made nearly $10 million dollars from his first joint venture. Today, 90% of Microsoft's revenue comes from joint ventures. Quest Nutrition sent letters with product samples to a bunch of social media influencers, who then began talking about their products to their social media audiences, and over 3 that took Quest Nutrition to a billion dollars.

What kind of ROI do you believe they experienced?

People love the idea of using joint ventures, which essentially is instead of paying for advertising, which unless you have seen the research won't bring you the returns you need, with joint ventures you use someone else's following to build your customer base. But going from idea to putting this into action is too much for so many of you because you may have so many unanswered questions. So we've created a shortcut at GetClients.AlphaLifestyleAcademy.com

Introduction

This is the first time in American history that what men and women want out of a relationship is so completely opposite of each other.

Many American women believe they don't need a man; they'd rather put career ahead of family and child.

There are still women who value these traditional values; however, because of where you live, it is harder and harder for men who value family to find these types of women where they live. These men may have to move to an area where religious values are still important. You can still find these types of women in small towns in America.

But many men have left America to go to lands from around the world where women still value family, children, and the sanctity of marriage, calling themselves passport bros."

It looks good now! Let me know if there's anything else you need assistance with.

Build A Income To Support Your Lifestyle

We all have friends, family, hobbies, and things we'd rather do than working, but you need the money and time freedom in order to do those things.

When deciding on a career, many people look at the money they will make and if they will have a passion for the work they will be doing. Instead of just looking at the money we can make, you want to have a career that will give you the money and the freedom to support your lifestyle.

Many people have started what is called a lifestyle business, in other words, a business that not only gives you the income you need but also gives you the freedom to support your lifestyle.

Consider my great aunt who started and ended selling her famous snack food business to Frito Lay at 33, where she was able to live the next 66 years of her life retired.

Imagine if you could live 66 years of your life retired? Imagine all the places you could visit, all the experiences you could have, all the relationships you could develop?

Because she retired early, she did not need to miss out on her child's growing up life like most families need to.

One means of living that many men have taken up is they have ditched the 9-5 and instead traveled the world dating beautiful women."

Looks good now! Let me know if you need further assistance.

How To Make A Living Dating Beautiful Women As A Passport Bro.

David Bond makes a living sharing his adventures with his girlfriends, dating women from Thailand, Colombia, and around the world. He documents his travels on YouTube, then sells memberships to a few internet websites. He also makes money with cryptocurrency.

Uncle Sam Wants To Pay You To Quit Your Job And Travel The World Dating Beautiful Women 

The government does not want you to work a job that you do not enjoy, away from your family. So, in order to help you make the transition from working a job to quitting your job, and making a living by traveling the world and dating beautiful women.

Many people are concerned if this is legal? Who makes the laws? Politicians? And do they make these laws for you or themselves? Of course, themselves. And since they make the laws, they know the laws. However, if you know these laws, you can use these exact same laws politicians and the rich use to provide for your family.

Let Me Introduce Myself

Let me reintroduce myself. My name is Christopher Brown. In my last job, I was hired as a business strategist for a $400 million dollar marketing firm. Many times, I worked with executives from companies like Ancestry.com, Crate Trucking, and Procter & Gamble.

After conducting an average of 60 sessions per week, many of them with executives from billion-dollar companies, I noticed a pattern that we called the billion-dollar blueprint. This blueprint is used by many existing billion-dollar companies and can bring the same success to the internet.

Yes, there are unicorns where some idea catches fire and is able to sell for a billion dollars, like when Facebook bought Instagram for a billion dollars. However, when individuals use the billion-dollar blueprint, they are able to quit their jobs and make a living spending more time with their friends and family.

The marketplace is filled with opportunities promising to help you make more money, but they often complicate things to charge more. Gary Keller of Keller Williams real estate, in his book 'The One Thing,' asks: what is the one thing you could be doing that would make everything else you could be doing irrelevant? Or, as I like to put it, a waste of time.

[adrotate group="32"]

Become A Millionaire Making A Living Traveling The World While Dating Beautiful Women

The reason David Bond was able to make a living while traveling the world dating beautiful women is because he built a large enough following that he could sell memberships to his website. However, what led to his success is that one of his videos went viral, and he capitalized on that attention to get more traffic. But he has stated that what worked for him would be hard to duplicate because having a video go viral is like winning the lottery.

The purpose of business is when someone has put in the effort to build a large customer list or a large social media following, where they can send out a message to that following. They only need a small percentage of that following to respond to the message to reach your income goal.

However, it may take a lot of time and effort to build a following large enough to reach your financial goals. But just think how much easier it would be to find someone who is already successful, send out a message to their following endorsing you and what you have to offer.

Now the very first time I did this, I made a deal with Joel Broughton, who sent out an email to his customer base endorsing what I have to offer. Over the next 6 hours after sending out that email, it turned into nearly $15,000.

Jeff Walker made no money for 6 years; after 9 years, he made a total of $210,000. However, once he started using someone else's following to build his customer base, he made $3.5 million over a 35-hour period.

How Do You Make A Living?

Some of you are entrepreneurs, some of you work for a boss. However, the true beauty of being an entrepreneur is that you can make a living without relying on a boss.

I’m guessing for a lot of you, this is not the first time you've tried to make more money and improve some area of your business.

You see, the marketplace is filled with gurus and opportunities promising they can help you make more money.

However, it is unlikely you will experience the same results for yourself because there are so many tricks and gimmicks; it is almost impossible to be successful.

However, we suggest that you work with real businesses that offer real services to the communities they serve, like real estate agents, auto dealers, medical offices, and restaurants. These are the top 5 industries with the most millionaires. By using someone else's following to help these companies grow, this will give you better odds of being successful.

[adrotate group="32"]

Conclusion

I'm going to introduce you to an idea that is hidden from the general public. It's how Icy Hot went from $20,000 to $13 million in 15 months. It's how John Reese went from $5,500 his first year, then jumped $100,000 in a 7-day period, and then did a million dollars over a 24-hour period, ending the year with several million dollars. If you work a job, it's how I helped my boss grow his business, where I made nearly $15,000 in a 6-hour period from my $15-an-hour job.

People love the idea of using someone else's following to build their customer base, social media following, or subscriber list, giving you the freedom to live in a van traveling the world. But going from the idea to putting it into action is too much to ask for many people because you still may have so many unanswered questions.

So I want to invite you to visit Iwanttopayyou.com where we’ll also answer how to get Uncle Sam to pay you to quit your job.

Introduction

Many individuals often mix up pleasure with happiness, getting sidetracked by chasing pleasure instead of truly understanding what brings happiness.

National Geographic funded research aimed at identifying the happiest people and those with the highest levels of life satisfaction worldwide. This study highlighted six key areas of life that strongly influence happiness. Among the top regions known for their high life satisfaction are Costa Rica, Denmark, and Singapore, as revealed in research findings. Notably, Dan Buettner's YouTube video, titled "Learning from ‘The Blue Zones Of Happiness,'" sheds light on this topic.

Bio-Chemistry Of Happiness

People chase money, toys, and new love in an effort to decrease suffering. However, what we are really chasing is dopamine. But instead of finding happiness, the things we are seeking are pleasure. There is a big difference between happiness and pleasure.

[adrotate group="32"]

Blue Zones Of Happiness

National Geographic financed research to find the happiest people and those with the highest levels of life satisfaction on Earth.

The top five places on the happiness charts? Costa Rica, Denmark, Singapore, and the mysterious Blue Zones. Yes, I said “Blue Zones.” Dan Buettner even made a YouTube video about it – “Learning from ‘The Blue Zones Of Happiness.'” It’s like a treasure map to the secrets of joy.

The research found that there are six areas of life that are the greatest predictors of happiness.

ATTENTION! The following video is provided by a 3rd party vendor. If the video is no longer available it is because the owner of the video or Youtube removed the video from their servers. we apologize for any inconvenience.

GDP & Income

We've all heard people say, “Money does not buy happiness.” Anyone who says that has never felt the pain of not having enough. Nothing brings us as much joy or pain as our romantic relationships. The main thing couples argue over is money, and the number one reason for divorce is money.

Money will only make you happy up to a certain point, and more money will not make you any happier. In fact, more money will make you less happy.

Science shows that you need $75,000 a year in America to be happy. However, once you pass $105,000 a year, more money does not make you any happier.

Health & Life Expectancy

National Geographic conducted a study on the Blue Zones, which are parts of the world where they have the highest percentages of people living past 100. What was interesting about this study is that they were also very happy, which led to another study to find more happy people in the world.

Because health and happiness are linked. You cannot be happy if you are not healthy.

[adrotate group="32"]

Generosity

Happiness and generosity go hand in hand, like the best buddies at a party. When you’re happy, you’re more likely to share the love. Some parts of the world practically breathe generosity. It’s in their DNA.

As Luke 6:38 says: "Practice giving, and others will give to you." When you live in a culture of giving, everyone in the environment is more inclined to help each other. Not only do they help those in need, but they also give because they feel the joy of giving.

"There is more happiness in giving than in receiving" – Acts 20:35.

America is known to have an independent spirit. However, there are subcultures in America that are very giving of each other.

[adrotate group="32"]

Tolerance

The happiest part of the world is also very tolerant of differences among people. This doesn't always mean you agree with their ideas, but you can show them respect and appreciation without agreeing with their beliefs.

This also means you shouldn't shame someone or be easily offended just because they disagree with you. Instead, show love and respect for other people.

[adrotate group="32"]

Social

TV, the internet, and social media have contributed to social isolation. While technology has helped us be more productive, after more than 30 minutes of TV, happiness levels begin to decline. The same is true for social media, but for the first 45 minutes, people are happier than those who spend no time on social media.

However, after an hour of social media, their happiness levels drop, and the more time they spend on social media, the less happy they are.

In the happiest parts of the world, family and friends are very important. Americans often see working long hours as a badge of honor and a way to get ahead, but in Denmark, it’s seen as a weakness. To be as efficient as possible, Danes don’t socialize at work or take breaks to run errands.

Free time is considered "the most important" so they can spend time with their friends and family.

Lack of money is not only the number one reason for divorce but so are long working hours. Overworking is the number two reason for divorce.

The US Travel Association published a study showing that 79% of couples who travel together feel their relationship improved after returning from vacation.

Studies have shown that to have a high level of life satisfaction, you must spend six weeks a year on vacation.

Trust

If you understand the importance of ethics in business, you'll understand how crucial trust is. Warren Buffet, for instance, is renowned for being trustworthy; he'll agree to multi-million dollar contracts on a handshake.

The happiest societies have a very high level of trust, not only in their government but also among their citizens. Achieving this level of trust is challenging in today's society, where mistrust often prevails. However, there are subcultures that manage to maintain a high level of trust.

Until recent years, within the confines of Disneyland and Disney World, there exists a remarkable level of trust and respect among visitors. On separate occasions, my ex-wife left her iPhone on a table and a friend left their diamond ring, only to realize it later. We assumed someone would have taken our items, but upon contacting the park, they promptly mailed them back to us. Outside of these parks, people may often act selfishly and greedily, but within Disney, there's a culture of consideration, with individuals willingly giving up their seats for others.

We have the ability to create subcultures where there's a high level of trust and respect among members.

Introduction

Gaining weight can signal underlying health issues, and a sedentary lifestyle is linked to weight gain and numerous health risks, even for those who exercise regularly. A healthy butt plays a crucial role, supporting overall well-being, preventing knee and back pain. For women, it's particularly important for reproductive health. Prolonged sitting, regardless of exercise, poses serious health risks. Breaking up sitting with short breaks can benefit glucose metabolism, especially for postmenopausal women with prediabetes. Prioritizing a healthy butt and reducing sitting time are vital for overall health.

Being Overweight Is A Warning Sign From The Body That Something Is Not Right

From the article "Gaining Weight as a Warning Sign for Underlying Health Issues!" we learn that putting on weight is a signal from the body that something might be wrong.

Now, consider this: What do you think is the unhealthiest habit? Is it drinking alcohol, smoking, consuming too much sugar, or sitting for too long? While we all know that these habits are unhealthy, have you ever thought about the chair you're sitting in?

Sitting too much, also known as a sedentary lifestyle, is linked to weight gain. But why? Studies connect being inactive to being overweight, developing obesity, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and host of other life threatening illnesses. Prolonged sitting is believed to slow down metabolism, impacting the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure, and break down body fat.

So, despite all your other efforts, if you sit for too long, you might be undermining your weight loss attempts.

How Risks Of Not Having A Good Butt

The butt muscles, are not only the largest muscle group but also play a vital role in different athletic and daily activities. These muscles do four main things: extend the hips, swing the leg outward, rotate the leg to the side, and tilt the pelvis backward. By strengthening your butt, you boost your strength and power for activities like sprinting, jumping, squatting, climbing, swinging, and moving sideways.

A more robust buttocks can lead to healthier knees and a lower back and hips without pain. "The glutes pull your thighbone backward during hip extension, keeping the bone centered in the middle of the hip socket instead of sliding forward and causing hip pain. Strong glutes ensure that your thighbones move correctly over your toes when squatting, jumping, and landing. In simple terms, it stops your knees from collapsing toward each other, a significant factor in knee pain and injury."

Having A Healthy Butt Is Even More Important For Women

Beyond just looking good, it's important for women to have a healthy buttocks. Research shows, women with lower waist-to-hip ratios experience fewer irregular menstrual cycles and ovulate more frequently.

Since your hip measurement considers the widest point (including your buttocks), it's reasonable to assume that enhancing the gluteus through strength training could offer more than just aesthetic benefits – it might also contribute to positive health indicators during your doctor's visits.

Health Risks For Sitting To Long

In a study by the American Cancer Society in 2010, they looked at 123,216 people from 1993 to 2016. The results showed that those who were inactive and sat for more than 6 hours a day were 94% more likely to die during that time compared to active individuals who sat less than 3 hours a day. Even those who exercised regularly had a higher risk of dying if they spent at least 6 hours a day sitting. This highlights that simply exercising may not fully offset the negative effects of sitting for extended periods.

How Many Hours Is Siting To Long

Medium risk: Sitting for 4–8 hours per day. 
High risk: Sitting for 8–11 hours per day.

Break Up Your Sitting With This Cool Trick

A recent study published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, suggests that interrupting prolonged sitting with 5 minutes of standing every half hour can be as effective as 5-minute walking breaks in improving post-meal glucose metabolism. This finding is particularly relevant for overweight, postmenopausal women with prediabetes.

Dr. Henson, the lead researcher, highlighted that previous studies have also shown benefits of breaking up sitting time in overweight and obese adults, indicating that similar positive effects could be observed in other populations, not just postmenopausal women with prediabetes.
