It is Spring again! New beginnings, New possibilities. I have had so many wonderful opportunities flowing into my life in the last few months. I remind myself to stop and show gratitude for all the many blessings I am experiencing.

I am in awe of the way my life has grown. I recently talked with someone I had not spoken to in almost 20 years. While he had grown, he had also stayed the same. Chasing different problems and creating a different drama. I was reminded once again of how we keep right on experiencing the same things over & over until we finally "get" it and make a new decision. He asked me a lot of questions and I began to notice just how far I have grown from that person I used to be. I was a willing participant in creating changes in my life.

So often I have clients who want me to create the changes for them. I gently and sometimes less gently remind them that I am a great tour guide, a great coach, a facilitator of change and a great support, and they have to to ultimately have to look for new choices, new possibilities, and make new decisions to create the changes and put the energy and effort into what they say they desire. Those who do, do, those who do not, do not.

I was introduced to a wonderful new product that has proven itself to be tasty and a very good business opportunity that complements my practice. Xocai is Chocolate that is good for you! I can now eat or drink my chocolate and not feel guilty. NOW that is a very good thing.

In America, thousands of business open their doors every single day! Unfortunately, most of them (over 90% of them) also close their doors within two years. Businesses are started with high hopes and glorious dreams. It is easy to start a business. It is much more difficult to build it, to make it succeed, to avoid the traps and pitfalls and frustrations, and enjoy the fruits of success over the years. In working with hundreds entrepreneurs over the years, here are the mistakes I see most often. Avoid them!

1. Fear and Confusion. There is either a sense of being over-whelmed by the size of the tasks, or a refusal to master the work of being an entrepreneur and business owner. There are specific skills to owning and running a successful business. Learn them! You can master this! You can focus and succeed! (This is often the time to hire a coach!)
2. Lack of Capital. Capital comes in three forms: Time, money, and energy. Some people have one or two, but not all three, and they fail because they simply can not sustain the growth phase of their business. EVERY business is a commitment of everything you have. You may start “small”, but that does not mean casual or part-time!
3. Lack of Courage or Commitment. Building a business is always risky. Some people perceive the risk as frightening, others see it as an exciting challenge, but there is always risk. Manage it. Limit your potential losses. Understand the risks and enjoy the process. You will make mistakes. Learn from them and go on.
4. Refusal to select and target an audience. No one can sell their services to “everyone” – a message that goes to everyone is unlikely to create a sense of urgency in anyone in particular. Attorneys focus on one type of law. Physicians specialize. So should you.
5. Choosing the wrong audience. A market that can not or will not pay or an audience that is too small or dispersed is a recipe for disaster. The “poor” desperately need medical, dental, legal and other services, but who is going to pay you? The same problem exists when trying to reach an audience that is dispersed over a large geographic area and not easily identified.
6. Fuzzy or unfocused message. What exact benefits do you provide? To whom? Under what circumstances and at what cost? How can people contact you? Be precise, be clear, be specific.
7. Lack of planning – too many random efforts. Many entrepreneurs try a little radio, a direct mailing, join a service organization, offer free samples, and then report that they have “tried everything and nothing worked”. Pick one, and stay the course! You become identified with your marketing techniques. Choose a logo, a color-scheme, and a marketing technique and stay with it!
8. Too much advertising, too little relationship building. Advertising works best for tangible products because customers can see the results. Intangible services are very difficult to advertise and are almost always purchased based on the quality of the relationship. The more people know you, and the more they know about you and your caring, your professionalism and your quality, the more business you will do. Build networks of relationships!
9. Laziness and/or Greed. Your business ONLY exists to serve the customer! You must make a profit in order to continue serving the customer, but service is the key to success. Everything must be focused on that. The statement, “I want to be my own boss”, or “I want a business that supports me” may be true (and be totally honest and reasonable), but they are a dangerous focus for your business. Customers first!
10. Having a product or service that fails to produce adequate benefits, or fails to serve as promised. Some professionals are incompetent. Some don’t use current technology, or are sloppy in their delivery. Particularly with services, even ONE mistake will undermine client confidence, loyalty, and trust. Do your best – every time!

Xoçai, the ultimate antioxidant beverage

Xoçai (Sho-sigh) – The name Xoçai consists of the first two letters of the Aztec word, “Xocolatl”, an ancient American chocolate beverage, and the last three letters of “Açai”, a berry found in the Amazon Rain Forest.

What is the Xoçai Beverage?

Xoçai is a beverage which combines the antioxidant benefits of the finest, all-natural European cocoa powder, the açai berry from the Amazon Rain Forest, and other fruits. Xoçai is sweetened with agave nectar derived from a Mexican cactus.

The benefits of chocolate without the guilt

Xoçai is the perfect delivery system for the antioxidants in chocolate because it eliminates almost all of the fat and sugar typically found in other chocolate products. One fluid ounce of Xoçai contains only 30 calories, zero grams of fat, and only two grams of naturally occurring sugar. Xoçai has a low glycemic index and three ounces of Xoçai is a high source of fiber, two grams of fiber per serving.

The Power of Chocolate

Cacao, or Chocolate, originated with the Olmec Indians in 1500 BC. Mayans and Aztecs used cacao in a royal chocolate drink called Xocolatl. Xocolatl progressed to a favored beverage of the European elite.

“The divine drink builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink (cacao) permits a man to walk for a whole day without food.” Montezuma ll.

From antiquity to the present, chocolate has been one of the most beloved products, and for more than 90% of its history chocolate has been consumed as a beverage.

Although many health benefits have been attributed to chocolate during its 3,500-year history, the full extent of its contributions to human health is only now being brought to light through modern technology and research.

The Greek term “Theobroma Cacao” literally means “Food of the Gods”.

MXI Corp has perfectly balanced the flavor profile of Xoçai while protecting the essential antioxidant properties in cocoa powder, known specifically as flavonoids.

Research has demonstrated that flavonoids play an important role in protecting the cacao plant. Further research has concluded that these same natural protective compounds in cacao beans, when consumed by humans, help maintain health by protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.

Xoçai is produced with rich European unprocessed, nonalkalized, nonlecithinized cocoa powder that is high in antioxidants due to a closely monitored fermentation, drying, and roasting process. Because these processes are closely monitored, Xoçai delivers the optimum amount of the antioxidants found in the all-natural cocoa powder.

Açai - The super antioxidant berry from the Amazon Rain Forest

Açaí (ah-sigh–ee) is a high-energy berry harvested on co-op farms from a special Amazon palm tree. Açaí berries contain amino acids, essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9), and higher amounts of antioxidants than any other fruit.

The açaí berry has over 14 times more antioxidants than raw spinach, and 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than red wine.

The emerging world of antioxidants

What are antioxidants? An antioxidant is a chemical that prevents the oxidation of other chemicals. An example of oxidation is a banana turning brown when left on the counter top. In the body antioxidants counteract the damaging effects of free radicals.

How are antioxidants measured?

The antioxidants in any food are measured by its capacity to absorb free radicals. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values as determined by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture measure the capacity of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals. The chart to the right contains the ORAC values of several high-antioxidant foods.

Indulge your health

The shocking good news is that dark chocolate is packed with potent antioxidants called flavonoids. Researchers have found that flavonoids found in cocoa powder contain diverse beneficial phytonutrients and antioxidants.

Cacao beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds making it one of the most complex food substances on Earth.

The ORAC value of Xoçai

The USDA website recommends a Daily Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC. However, recent studies have suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants.

Xoçai is produced with some of the world’s most powerful super foods – unprocessed cocoa powder and the açaí berry. As a result, one ounce of Xoçai has an antioxidant content or ORAC Value of 3,097.

Xoçai should be a vital part of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle.
