[B731]Blast From The Past Trailer

by Edie Mindell, Edi

A common trend today is to have different era-inspired, retro baby showers. These themes work great regardless of whether the baby is a boy, girl, or if the parents choose to not know the gender of the baby until the date of birth. Great decades from which to base your shower on are the roaring twenties, the rock-n-roll fifties, the hippie sixties, and of course, the unforgettable eighties. Do some research on each decade, and pick the one that you love the most, and that you think you can be the most creative with for your baby shower theme.

The twenties were a blast, and a twenties-themed shower will definitely be a blast, too. The music alone will have people dancing and smiling. Specify in the baby shower invitations for the gals to wear their most twenties-like dresses, and for the gents to wear a tidy suit. The more the outfits match what people wore in the twenties, the better. Award the person with the best costume. Decorate the room with big band and swing decorations. You can have toy musical instruments as centerpieces, and provide hats for the gents and twenties’ headbands for the ladies. Put on some great music, and make everyone get up and dance the Charleston!

The fifties is a great decade to pick for any party theme. On the invitations, tell the ladies to wear poodle skirts, and tell the guys to wear leather jackets, and tell all your guests to get ready for the best ice cream social ever! Play classic rock-n-roll in the background to set the mood to your fifties celebration, and decorate your party room with fifties inspired pictures and décor. Serve different types of ice cream with a variety of toppings, and have your guests each make their own sundaes! For a twist, also serve bananas for those that want to make their own banana split. Make or buy fun mini jukeboxes for centerpieces. For a fun game, have your guests partner up for a dance off, and award the best pair.

If you or any of your family members were a hippie back in the sixties, that might be the era of your choice. This theme is fun and easy to assemble. Decorate the whole area with hearts, happy faces, and music notes. Tell your guests to wear their bell-bottom jeans, and psychedelic tie-dye shirts. If you have an Afro wig in your closet, pull it out, because this sixties party is going to be groovy! Buy toy school buses and decorate them as they did in the sixties; these make great centerpieces. Don’t forget to play some groovy tunes and dance, dance, dance! If you really want to go all out, a few folks can pitch in for a pedal car from that era! The 1965 Ford Mustang pedal car will be a big surprise, getting lots of giggles and will be the perfect gift for the soon to be toddler to cruise around in!

For a cool eighties-themed baby shower, send out a funky invitation and tell your guests to wear their favorite retro outfits. For an easy outfit, wear leggings or tight jeans, and cut off the neckline of an old T-shirt. Wear a headband and pull your hair up to a side ponytail. Cool eighties movies or old music records make great centerpiece bases. Decorate them with colorful décor and candy, and you’ve got great, inexpensive pieces. For a fun activity, put on a Richard Simmons’ dance workout video, and award the best dancer. Remember, regardless of which era you pick for your baby shower, do your research and be as creative as you can!

Network Marketing is an incredible opportunity for the average Joe or Josephine. Most people will not become rock stars or movie stars, so living a movie star lifestyle sounds like just a dream. However, Network Marketing provides an opportunity for anyone with a strong desire and an excellent work ethic to achieve a lifestyle comparable to that of a rock star without the paparazzi. But, in such a brilliant industry, the failure rate is extremely high. If you want to succeed in in this industry, there are many changes you'll have to make.

The job mentality can be a serious handicap for a budding Network Marketer. Most people in a job know that when they work x number of hours, they get paid x amount of dollars. Yet, when they start a business they expect to get paid with very little or no effort. To get paid in this type of industry, you need to go to work marketing the products or services your company offers. You also need to attract the right people to go into business with you.

Many Network Marketers ignore the marketing part of their business and continue to use methods that are out dated and don't work for them. This is really sad because marketing is commonly used by all successful businesses. As a novice, you should begin your marketing education. Learn the right strategies you can use to grow your business. Then apply them.

Because most newcomers depend on their Network Marketing sponsors for direction, it creates and enormous amount of dependency. Newcomers tend to expect a lot to be done for them by their upline and so get disappointed when they realize ther's no magic pill. To overcome this, the newbie has to become more responsible for their business. By being pro-active and taking the role of a CEO in your business, you create your own path for success. Look for alternative ways to grow your business. It's your business, treat it as such.

Lack of leadership skills can lead a new Network Marketer down the hard road of failure. Similar to a job, they want to be told what to do at all times and be pushed to get their business growing. However, this is a business and no one can want your success more than you do. So, look for the leader within you and start acting it out. Set your plan and work it daily. Become the leader you're looking for and your business will grow.

The easy and get rich quick mentality can stop Network Marketing growth dead in its tracks. Yes, a lot of people think that by filling out an application form, they're entitled to a million dollars next day. It's not going to happen in your business, so be prepared to give it some time. Set short and long term goals and work diligently towards them. This is one of the main keys to success in any business venture.

Yes! When you achieve success in Network Marketing, you begin to live the lifestyle of your wildest dreams. You gain friendships that last a life time with like minded people and enjoy the freedom to do the things you like. But that journey is one of transformation. The thing that gets you there is your desire to do what it takes to achieve what you want. Everything else, you can learn. Now that you know what the 5 traps are, you can blast past them.
