Your Hairdresser could be your best Connection. Ask her/him if they could help you with finding leads and referrals. Leave Several Business Cards or Brochures with her/him. Give them a special discount, gift or possibly a Kick Back.
The Post Office Line. Be sure to have your brochures or cards with you and strike up a conversation. Always be sincere and ask them what they do first. Find out about what they do.
The Coffee Shop. Don't be afraid to introduce yourself to those around you. It's a great place to Connect and Gain a Relationship.
Dentist and Doctor Offices. Sitting around waiting for your appointment? Don't be afraid to communicate. Good Networking consists of practicing Good Communication Skills. Don't wait until you are at Events or Networking Meetings. Casual Conversation does not lead to a Business Relationship.
Movie Ticket Lines, Airplanes, Nail Salons, Grocery Lines. When you Network, you can Learn from them or be a Resource for them! Make a Goal to Put Networking into Practice. Don't be afraid to open your mouth, put into practice what you know and Go for it…the SECRET? It's WHO You Know when it comes to Business!

Get Control of Your LIFE Tips
by Wendy Ruby CEO/Founder
Working too many hours? Balance your Life. The KEY to Succeed is having ENERGY.
Take time for YOU.
Be Creative. Make a list of what you like to do. Write down a "date" to do that "special thing" that you LOVE. Write it in your Day Planner.
Get away from your desk or office to clear your mind to gain greater focus on "what is important" and what needs to change.
If you have many demands in business, 60 to 80 hours a week will not generate better business results.
Work fewer hours and achieve better results. If you write down the "most important" that need to be accomplished that week, don't allow the "least important" to get in your way.
If you have problems...get away, mediate, go to a "quite place" where you won't be bothered. Your mind will open up and a breakthrough or idea will happen. I personally do this by going out to the mountains and praying. The Lord always helps me or gives me clarity.
It's My Prayer that you will be successful and not over worked. You deserve the Energy and the Time for the Special Things in Life that bring you JOY! Easter is a special time for Renewal...Resurrection. It's Your Time for Renewal...a new way, a new YOU.

Many of our HOT Pink Mamas Members have circumstances and histories to offer solutions to the problems you might be coping with. Don't be afraid to ask for Help. Most people want to Help! Be sure to share with them any success that you had, by taking their advice. Don't ever underestimate the need for appreciation and applause.

Study hard
Give lots of kisses
Laugh often
Don't be overly concerned with your weight, it's just a number
Always try to see the glass half full

Try to have a little fun each day...it's important
Work together as a team

May Business Networking Tips:
From Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
I am a mother of 6 children and 15 grandchildren. I am so blessed! We all have our ups and downs in life, but every day is a special and blessed day from the Lord and we are to be "glad" in it! HE wants us to be Happy, no matter what our situation. Our Motto in HOT Pink Mamas is...LIVE to GIVE. It's my prayer that you will find JOY in life, JOY in your business and PEACE and HAPPINESS within through GIVING and NETWORKING with one another...
MAY YOUR DAY BE BRIGHT!
Next time you think life is hard….think again
TRULY AWESOME STORY! ! ! ! ! Maybe you believe in god, but remember that everything has a good reason and we must be satisfied with what we get. 'Every moment, every situation, every issue, and every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to Life.'
My name is Nick Vujicic and I was born without limbs and doctors have no medical explanation for this birth 'defect'. As you can imagine, I was faced with many challenges and obstacles.
Their firstborn son had been born without limbs! There were no warnings or time to prepare themselves for it. The doctors were shocked and had no answers at all! There is still no medical reason why this had happened and Nick now has a Brother and Sister who were born just like any other baby.
I know that there is no such thing as luck, chance or coincidence that these 'bad' things happen in our life.
I had complete peace knowing that God won't let anything happen to us in our life unless God has a good purpose for it all
I am now twenty-three years old and have completed a Bachelor of Commerce majoring in Financial Planning and Accounting. I am also a motivational speaker and love to go out and share my story and testimony wherever opportunities become available. I have developed talks to relate to and encourage students through topics that challenge today's teenagers. I am also a speaker in the corporate sector.
I have a passion for reaching out to youth and keep myself available for whatever God wants me to do, and wherever He leads, I follow.
Writing several best-selling books has been one of my dreams and I hope to finish writing my first by the end of the year.
It will be called 'No Arms, No Legs, No Worries!'
I believe that if you have the desire and passion to do something, and if it's God's will, you will achieve it in good time. As humans, we continually put limits on ourselves for no reason at all! What's worse is putting limits on God who can do all things. We put God in a 'box'. The awesome thing about the Power of God, is that if we want to do something for God, instead of focusing on our capability, concentrate on our availability for we know that it is God through us and we can't do anything without God. Once we make ourselves available for God's work, guess whose capabilities we rely on? God's!
The ONLY FEAR IN LIFE IS THAT I FORGET HOW GOD HAS LED ME IN THE PAST!
And
Remember:
WHEN YOU'RE BUSY JUDGING PEOPLE,
YOU HAVE NO TIME TO LOVE THEM.
MAY YOUR DAY BE BRIGHT!
Next time you think life is hard….think again
'Every moment, every situation, every issue, and every concern has a positive side. Find it and bring it to Life.'

7 HOT Tips to Use Your Business Cards When Networking
Members of HOT Pink Mamas can order 5,000 Business Cards for only $50… Get Your Business Cards Today!
702-566-PINK (7465)
Give Business Cards Out to EVERYONE… Give, Give, Give! Be generous with giving out your cards and be sure to give out 2 and ask for a Referral.
Don't be Afraid to Ask for Referrals… If you don't Ask, you won't Get! Just say “if you don't mind, I would really appreciate a Referral” or “If you don't mind, can you keep my card and if you know of anyone that can use my services, I would really appreciate your help”. People love to help others.
Use Proper Business Etiquette… Ask for a business card when you give a business card. Be sure to look at their card and see what they do. Ask questions and be sincere. If you want to be important and leave a lasting impression…be sure to make them feel important so that they remember who you are.
Be sure to always have Business Cards in your Wallet, Purse, Car, Day Planner, etc… You never know who you will meet. It's very unprofessional to NOT have a business card with you. People might think that you have a hobby, not a business. A quick trip to the store…you never know who you will bump into. Just make it a habit to always have them with you. It's like making sure your license is always with you…why not put a few in the same place as your driver's license?
Don't be shy about giving out Business Cards… at your kids school function, a family reunion or party, a holiday party. You might never know who you will meet. Sometimes its about being at the right time and in the right place to meet the right person. Why not volunteer? It's a great way to meet people that “remember” who you are. If you LIVE to GIVE and help enough people in the world to get what they want, you will find that you will get what you want in life. What goes around, comes around.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind? I am sure that you know you are up against hundreds of competitors, all wanting the same contract. Many times at events, it's hard to remember who's who. You need to give a person a reason to “remember” who you are and how you are different than your competitors. The Key: Persistence and Follow-up! Give them 2 cards and send another 2 in the mail with a nice note immediately after you meet them.
Have a Slogan or Tag Line on your Business Cards… by branding yourself or business. People will always associate a company name with their services, products, a catchy phrase or slogan. Note: As a Member of HOT Pink Mamas, we can help you put a Tag Line or Slogan together. Call the Corporate Office to set up an appointment with our Marketing Dept. No Charge to Members.
Tips For Thought:
Have a blessed day.
HOT Pink Mamas Motto...LIVE to GIVE
JULY HOT Networking Tips:
From Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
LIVE to GIVE..GIVE to LIVE
JULY SPOTLIGHT OF THE MONTH
Brochures for your Business/3-Fold Slick Top Quality Four Color
Members Only Price…
$324 for 5,000 ($2,200 savings)
Referrals can be a real Tricky Business…Here are some Tips on How to GET MORE REFERRALS:
Pay more attention and track your Referrals, but FIRST, track who you are going to GIVE a Referral to. For every 3 Referrals YOU GIVE, the rule of thumb… you would receive 1 Referral back.
It only makes sense…as you GIVE Referrals; you begin to create “Relationships” with those you have referred. Most likely, one of your 3 Referrals will tell somebody about “YOU”.
Make it a HABIT and be AWARE of GIVING out Referral's EVERY DAY.
Obviously, if you want MORE Referral's, then give MORE Referral's out…6 per week so that you possibly get back 2.
Are you SHOWING UP at Networking Events, Expos, Referral Roundtables, etc. and are you being SINCERE, as you meet one another?
Don't just put your information in our HOT Pink Goodie Bags and expect a phone call. You need to follow up on your Leads. Many times you have to follow up more than one time. Be consistent! Be Sincere!
Many times at Events, if the person you are going to Refer is there and you find somebody that can use their services, be sure to INTRODUCE them right there on the spot. What a great impression you will leave! Refer others by introducing them through email.
By NETWORKING, you are creating an Opportunity for yourself and others.
If you hear somebody “Bragging about someone else”…be sure to tell the person getting “Bragged” on! Everyone loves to get kudos. Be sure to THANK the person that's been Bragging on you so that they continue to Brag! It's a Great Way to get FREE Marketing Exposure. On the other hand, if you hear somebody “Trashing another person”…it's best that you go to the person getting “Trashed” and let them know, so that they can approach the person that “Trashed” their name and fix it. Don't ignore it! Communication is your best friend. It will stop the person from continuing to “Trash” your name. Sometimes there is a reason beyond your knowing why they were unhappy with your services, therefore “Trashing”.
Most of all LIVE to GIVE and GIVE to LIVE…what goes around comes around. Be focused and sincere with everyone you come in contact with. Share LOVE from your Heart…it will be Heartfelt!
Blessings and Happy Networking!

From Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
Dear Members,
I thought I would share this beautiful message about "life" and what it is really all about. I just recently lost both of my parents to death. Through this experience, I have found that Life and Love is the most precious gifts of all. I dedicate the following message to my parents and thank them for the life and their many gifts they gave to me.

ATTORNEY'S ADVICE - NO CHARGE
Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate Attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company
1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put 'PHOTO ID REQUIRED.'
2.. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card Accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the 'For' line. Instead, just put t he last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.
3.. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home Phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It p rinted, anyone can get it.
4.. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to Call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a Photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, So cial Security number, credit cards.
Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my Wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(S) ordered an Expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had A credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number >From DMV to change my driving record information online, and more. But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:
5. . We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card Numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.
6.. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit Providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an Invest igation (if there ever is one).
But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.)
7.. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations Immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over Th e Internet in my name. The alert m eans any company that checks your Credi t knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by Phone to authorize new credit.
By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all the Credit checks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thie ves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks.
Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc., has been stolen:
1.) Equifax : 800-525-6285
2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 888-397-3742
3.) Trans Union : 800-6807289
4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line): 800-269-0271
SEPTEMBER HOT Networking Tips:
From Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
Becoming a “TRUE” HOT Pink Mama:
LIVE WITH INTEGRITY: When you were a child, do you remember your parents, teachers or peers say…“DO what is Right!” In life, it's all about making a CHOICE and using Integrity above all else. When doing what is RIGHT, it's not always comfortable and at times you might feel like you are on a path less traveled or unpopular. Integrity is about “Who You Are” and “What You are All About” and “What Your Values Stand For”.
DON'T BLAME OTHERS: We all have WOES. It's easy to blame others for our woes. It's a CHOICE to make the DECISION to own your life and own your own woes. We as HOT Pink Mamas have the choice to let the World affect us or go out into the World and affect others in a positive way!
BE AUTHENTIC: Come from the HEART. Give up pretending to be somebody that you are not. Express yourself, be courageous and don't be afraid to show the world “Who You Are and How Special and Unique You Really Are”. When we pretend, we keep others from meeting the “REAL YOU”. Be okay to open your heart fully and allow yourself to experience Pain as well as Joy.
MAKE CHANGES: If you always DO what you have always done, you will always get what you always got! In other words, nothing changes, if nothing changes. Let go of FEAR and take a Risk to make the changes needed in your life and business.
EVERYTHING IN LIFE HAS A PURPOSE: I found that by recognizing and having Faith in the Lord, I TRUST that HE is in control of my life and my circumstances and HE has given me everything I need to take on the Challenges that life presents to me at every moment. I want the BEST for all of our HOT Pink Mamas. I know that by Letting Go and Letting God, giving up resisting what you can't control and just allowing yourself to go with the flow of life, rather than against it, will allow you to live in the present moment with JOY…whatever it brings your way!
I write these thoughts to help our HOT Pink Mamas gain the Relationships necessary to be Successful in both your Personal and Business Life.
HOT Pink Mamas
HOT Mama Makeover™
We at HOT Pink Mamas care about your ENTIRE well-being…making the Right Choices in ALL AREAS of your Life! Below are TIPS on making some HEALTHY CHOICES!
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing! A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes. A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food. Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food. A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function. Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys. C elery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body. Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them). Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility. Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actual ly balance the glycemic index of diabetics. Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries Oranges , Grapefruits , and other Citrus fruits look just l ike the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts. Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic , also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
OCTOBER HOT Networking Tips:
BRANDING WHO YOU ARE! From Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
What Makes you Different than your Competitor?
“Branding” you, your business, a product or service…it's all about BRANDING! What makes you different than your competitor? What makes you stand out among all the rest? Here are some ideas on how to BRAND what you do…
Know what your Brand is and how you will be different than all the rest of those that are doing the same business or selling the same product or service. What sets you apart from your competitors?
Know what your Brand Promise might be…what are you promising to a client? Are you delivering each time you promise what you tell them?
Deliver your promise consistently!
If your Brand is not different, here are some ideas to make a New Brand:
Be Radical and do something that will make you stand out amongst the crowd! What will you do better or different?
Find out what is the most important thing your client is looking for or needing…and do it! Be sure to follow through and do it! Be consistent! If you don't know what is important, why not ask a few of your clients and find out.
Give your marketing materials a FACE LIFT…if you need help, call the Corporate Office. At HOT Pink Mamas, we can give you some ideas for Marketing. If you need graphics done…its only $20 per item.

November Networking Tips By Wendy Ruby HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
Here in America…In GOD We Still Trust!
(Click Here to Listen)
There's a lot to talk about in America right now, with the Presidential Election in November and the Economic Problems going on. At HOT Pink Mamas we are very optimistic! We are here to help Businesses GROW their Business, no matter what kind of Economy we are living in! We at the Corporate office, have found HUGE DISCOUNTS for our Members to SAVE lots of Money through our many, many DISCOUNTS, BENEFITS and EVENTS that we provide for our Members. We are experiencing greater growth than any other time. Every Month we are opening up more and more HOT Pink Mamas. If you are in Business…DON'T PANIC!

These Team Members will help you GROW your business, deliberate actions, brought on by clear thinking and solid strategies that Loral says “leads to success” in any economy!
MAKE THE MOST OF HOT PINK MAMAS NETWORKING EVENTS…
How to Get Results!
• There are many types of networking events, but at HOT Pink Mamas, our Trademark is the 2 Minute HOT Buzz Networking Game (similar to Fast Dating) that you will experience at any of our various locations and Big HOT Events. Just SHOW UP and be sure to have enough business cards, brochures, discount of the month or samples to put in the HOT Pink Goodie Bags that everyone will receive.
• Make the Most of Every Networking Opportunity at HOT Pink Mamas…be sure to attend the Referral Roundtables with 49 locations to choose from and lock out your competitor. Just SHOW UP!
• Ask yourself “What do I hope to gain from attending an event?” Have a Plan. A goal.
• If your heart is not in going to a HOT Pink Mamas event, then your time is better spent elsewhere. Some people show up at events and only speak to people they know or come late, sit by themselves, or just don't put their heart into it. Why network if you waste the time and opportunity.
• Bring a friend. You won't be attending on your own. You can meet people your friend might know.
GOD IS GOOD! STAY OPTIMISTIC IN A BAD ECONOMY! LOOK FOR THE GOOD.
A Pastor with GUTS!!
Thought you might enjoy this interesting
prayer given in Kansas at
the opening session of their Senate. It seems prayer still upsets some
people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask
your forgiveness and to seek your direction and
guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem..
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's possessions
and called it ambition .
We have polluted the air with profanity and por nography and called it freedom of expression.
We have ridiculed the time-honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts
today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!
The response was immediate. A number of
legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than
5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls
responding negatively. The church is now receiving
international requests for copies of this prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on
his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,'and
received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
December Networking Tips By Wendy Ruby
HOT Pink Mamas CEO/Founder
HAPPY HOLIDAYS to Everyone! As we come to a close in 2008, I would like to express my gratitude to all of our Area Directors and Members throughout 50 Referral Roundtable Locations. So many of you have labored near our side, as we build this Organization together, helping others to grow and expand their businesses through HOT Pink Mamas. We send you our Thanks and LOVE to all of you and your families. May you all enjoy a FUN, Festive, Joyous and Safe Holiday Season! It's our prayer that as you close 2008, you will take with you many life lessons and memories, opening 2009 with an attitude of gratitude and a fresh new start into an incredible year waiting for YOU!
THINK PINK…DREAM BIG…TALK IT UP in 2009!
Become a Leader, so that others will look up to you. Motivate and Inspire. Live to Give.
Think Big and don't be afraid to talk about your Dreams, Visions and Big ideas.
Forming a Business Relationship and having a professional presence is more than just grooming and wardrobe. Good eye contact, good posture, gestures, voice, demeanor and a firm handshake are just a few that show your confidence and professional ability while representing your business.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
You Can Overcome in 2009! One of my greatest Leaders is Joel Osteen www.JoelOsteen.com . I kept his message of encouragement and I pass it on to you as you begin 2009…God created you to Overcome! Sometimes, it's easy to get down and discouraged when things aren't going the way you planned. If you go around thinking, "It's never going to work out" or "It's never going to get better", you limit what God can do. But if, when you face difficulties, you dig your heels in-knowing that God is bigger than your problems-your faith will open the door for God to turn your negative situation around!
Isaiah 54:17 says that, "No weapon formed against you will prosper. This is your heritage as children of the Lord." Notice you have a heritage. You have rights and privileges because you belong to Christ. As long as you keep God first place in your life, you have a hedge of protection around you, a hedge of favor, and a hedge of mercy. When difficulties come, because you are His child and honor Him, those difficulties won't prosper in your life. When it's all said and done, God will take what the enemy meant for evil and turn it around for your good.
Declare over yourself, by faith, that you will overcome every obstacle. Declare that every dream and desire God placed in your heart will come to pass. Declare that you have the favor of God and that whatever you set your hand to will prosper. As you speak those words of faith, the Lord will work on your behalf and you will live as an over comer all the days of your life!
May God's Blessings be upon you, your family and business!
With HOT Pink Hugs,
