		<description><![CDATA[Empower Network finally gives the average marketer and the Baby Boomers equality with the resources of the ultra-gurus and the opportunity to earn enormous amounts of money from a legitimate home business that not only stands on its own, but empowers you to grow any other only business along with it.  Nobody in online marketing is paying 100% commissions and creating the chance to make substantial residual wealth.]]></description>

<p>You and I are at the right place at the right time.  Let me let the founders speak for themselves.  <strong>CLICK on the picture to the left</strong> to watch the video that will rock your world.<span style="text-align: center;"> </span></p>

<p>No opportunity on the Internet has the potential to finally surge you past all the obstacles and finally, once and for all, earn substantial wealth online or off.   There is no value, no offer, no opportunity that can immediately change your financial circumstances the way the Empower Network will.</p>

<p><a title="Empower Network" title='Original Link: http://www.empowernetwork.com/maryannen'  href="http://maryannenagy.com/?rBNc_Qdw">Empower Network</a> embodies what I envisioned <strong><a title="Empower Network" title='Original Link: http://www.empowernetwork.com/maryannen'  href="http://maryannenagy.com/?rBNc_Qdw">BoomersDOTcom.com</a></strong> means when I long ago reserved the domain.  It is the true path to real financial independence for every industrious entrepreneur, but especially for myself and my fellow Baby Boomers who will finally end their financial difficulties.</p>
<p>JUST DECIDE.  If you can only make the $25 decision, THEN MAKE THAT DECISION.  You will not regret it.  If you have all but given up, do not despair &#8211; the opportunity you&#8217;ve only dreamed of is right in front of you, with the best team support available in <strong><a title="Empower Network" title='Original Link: http://www.empowernetwork.com/maryannen'  href="http://maryannenagy.com/?rBNc_Qdw">Empower Network.</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="igit_tsb_button" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><a title='Original Link: http://twitter.com/share?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmaryannenagy.com%2F2010%2F01%2Fwhat-is-pyxism-travel%2F&amp;text=What+is+Pyxism+Travel%3F&amp;count=horizontal&amp;via='  href="http://maryannenagy.com/?nCniv26g" style="" class="twitter-share-button">Tweet</a></div><div name="googleone_share_1" style="position:relative;z-index:5;left; float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top:10px"><g:plusone size="small" count="" href="http://maryannenagy.com/2010/01/what-is-pyxism-travel/"></g:plusone></div><p>Travel is, hands down, the most lucrative enterprise for the average home-based entrepreneur.  Lloyd Wilson, a veteran network marketer and previous owner of a travel-based company, recently started a company called Pyxism (named after the constellation in the Southern hemisphere; it is Latin for compass).  He has literally reinvented the extremely popular 3 x 2  matrix program compensation plan and developed a program that will appeal to the average marketer as well as the superstar.  Although the superstar might find himself at a disadvantage and the average person may be on top.  Here is a program where success is ONLY possible by teamwork and sharing.  I place it here because travel is my niche &#8211; and one I strongly advocate for Baby Boomers and disabled persons.  Wilson revolutionized the 3 x 2 matrix and removed the problems experienced by last-year&#8217;s predecessors.  Pyxism will be a name to be reckoned with in 2010 and beyond.  He did not plan to launch until June, 2010, but early leaks pushed the plans forward and now &#8211; even before launch, the company boasts members and teams in over 20 different countries.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">All roads lead to your blog, an extension of your social media relationships and possibly, from there, to business partnerships.  That&#8217;s not to say real world person to person transactions end, in fact they can be enhanced by online relationships resulting in business networking events where you &#8220;meet&#8221; people you feel you already know very well.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">It could be a simpler time is coming.  Direct sales is a multi-billion dollar industry, with the playing field leveled by the Internet and the myriad of free trainings and easier upgrades, taking the mystery away from the use of the Net.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So &#8211; if you&#8217;re in business.  Give you blog a hug today!</p>

<p>I personally think that kind of attitude will get you NO WHERE – but those people do have a point.</p>
<p>So the big question becomes – How do you get connected with people who can help you promote your products?</p>

getting to know them (having a beer while you talk is optional).</p>
<p>The connection and trust that can be formed so quickly in person would take you months, if not years, to achieve in any online medium&#8230; Not to mention that online, most big names are busy people and have “gate keepers” to handle most of their email and phone calls. It&#8217;s practically impossible to send someone a friendly &#8216;hello&#8217; anymore.</p>
<p>But there is a way around this dilemma. A way too, not only get past the gate keepers and get yourself noticed, but to connect with a person face to face.</p>
<p>(You do want to show them you&#8217;re the genuine article and someone worth doing business with, right?)</p>
<p>Conferences!</p>
<p>Call them conferences, call them seminars, call them whatever you want&#8230; But they are, hands down, the best way to connect with anyone in this game and make them friendly to your cause.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll have big name players, that you have been dying to meet, sitting right next you with no one to “forget” to mention you called.</p>
<p>It can be the chance of a lifetime and is the real “secret” behind Internet marketing.</p>
<p>To get yourself started, I recommend a free conference that is right around the corner. It&#8217;s called the Midwest Super Conference and this year it&#8217;s running September 11th &#8211; 13th .</p>
<p>It&#8217;s the premier event in the Midwest and is going to be jam packed with incredible speakers and potential JV partners.</p>
