No Regrets...

This year has started off kind of crazy for us in terms of scheduling.  I am often approached about the case on Demon Exorcist.  Though it did not air the family's story in its entirety and portrayed some things that were not true, we have no regrets.  That family got the help they needed, in which is what we set out to do to begin with.  This show does continue to run from time to time.
For those that know us, know that CVAPI underwent some MAJOR changes over a year ago.  This is probably the best move that Nikki and I could have made.  This included revamping our entire protocol.  I think the only regret there is that we did not do it sooner!  With those changes, included the cases that we accept.  Although everyone is heard, we do not take all the cases that come into us, and some are referred out.
On Facebook, we can see that there is still a fair amount of "Paranormal Drama".  However, we choose not to be a part of it.  (The last I checked we are all adults.)
We continue to get an incredible amount of views on the blog.  (Though we do not know how they find it sometimes.)  We also continue to get an incredible amount of emails.  The emails that are answered are those pertaining to an investigation requests and/or an event.
For those interested in a psychic reading, please contact me through my site.  For the locals interested in the paranormal, please join our Meetup group, as we have outings planned for May and June.  We are getting a lot of requests on how to join CVAPI, and we are not taking in anyone new at this time.  CVAPI has its members in place, as well as those that we call upon if needed.
Until next time...

Jackie's new adventure....

(The following has nothing to do with the paranormal.  This was copied from Jackie's personal blog.)

I guess I will start with a little of my psychic ramblings….


Coming from a Metaphysical background, I’m big into the whole Body, Mind, and Soul, and things that can enhance that. This includes holistic practices, homeopathy, and anything that is “All Natural.”

For those that have been following my blog, you know that I began a 10-week weight loss challenge at my gym in Mid February. (Week 8, and things are going well!) Although I must admit, I have not seen the inside of the gym in almost 3 weeks as that has been replaced with yard work. (NOT my favorite thing.)

As my results began to slow down, (due to not working out, and I had reached that “Stuck” point in dieting), I remembered a product that I used a few months ago. (And wondered why I didn’t stick with it because I saw results.) I also remembered that though I had used the body wraps (for cosmetic purposes), they offered supplements. (To which the trainers at the gym are CONSTANTLY preaching to me about.) So I decided to look them up again.

Strictly by coincidence, (or maybe it was fate?), that very week Sideline CafĂ© (A local spot I offer readings in on Tuesday nights) had a “Wrap Party”, with this distributor on the night I was there.

In speaking with the Distributor, I told her that I was a Loyal Customer and had used the Auto Ship plan of the product with GREAT results, (in which my family saw) and was going back to it. She asked me why I didn’t become a distributor? Well here was my list of reasons:

I work as a full time psychic. My hours are varying to accommodate those that are not in the US or Canada. I have a local meetup group known as Central Virginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research to which we have monthly meetings or outings. I have a local paranormal team known as CVAPI, with more cases than I can possibly ever get to. In my “spare time” I am a journalist for Examiner as the Richmond Psychic & Paranormal Examiner, as well as I publish articles for various other sites. This is in addition to maintaining my home, yard, being a mother, and trying to have somewhat of a social life.. Due to this schedule, I have put a stop to doing radio shows. Exactly when would I have time to become a Distributor?

Her reply to me was, “Because the product sells itself.” (I HATE admitting when people are right, lol.) I know for a fact that the body wraps work, and they continue to work 2 days after they are applied. I saw a 5-inch difference in those days. Their entire lineup is “All Natural”. (Yep I am one of those geeks that looked up the ingredients and researched it myself, it is a “Detox” and not targeting “Water Weight”.) I saw inches in the Body Wraps because they are cosmetic, but I saw the scales move with the Greens, and the Protein shakes. (Again, I think the gym trainers know they were right when it comes to supplements.)

So then the question remained of “When will I have time to do this”? (I mean, I’m all about using a product I already love, and extra money? Well yeah, $20 in gas doesn’t go far in my truck!) My other questions were…of course you know there is a startup fee, there always is. I don’t have the cash to stock product, or the patience to sort and ship products, and when will I do parties?

I found out that you don’t HAVE to do parties. (Although the “Wrap Party” was a lot of fun and I plan on doing one myself.) You don’t have to work events. (Kind of a cool concept to “Party and get paid”.) Those that try the wrap will see results in 45 minutes. Stock product? You don’t have to. IF you choose to, (For parties and people to see the results) the product you can actually sell and to have a party, it will fit in your purse. Shipping products? You don’t have to do that either. Everything is drop shipped and managed through your website. The startup fee? Normally its $199, and right now it is $99 (which is actually $113 after all is said and done.). What do you get? Your own website, (in a matter of seconds), the Esuite (which shows your commissions etc,) Fitworks, training information, your customers etc., basically everything you need. You also get 1 box of the Ultimate Body Applicators, product catalogs, blitz cards etc. (I won’t get into the $100 fast start bonuses, product credit, etc.) I will tell you that if you sign up in the month of April, you qualify for a $10,000.00 bonus payable by $400 a month in addition to what you make. (And YES, it is perfectly feasible.) So with nothing to hide, I don’t mind sharing with you the income levels. (Paid monthly.)

Distributor - $71

Executive - $309

Ruby - $599

Emerald - $1121

Diamond - $1910

Double Diamond - $6035

Triple Diamond - $10541

Presidential - $16934

Ambassador - $31928

Now in all honesty, hitting Ruby level is PERFECTLY FEASIBLE in your first 30-days. My leader has been a distributor for 8 months, this month she hit Presidential Level. (No lie, she showed me her paychecks!) Surprisingly, she doesn’t spend all of her time with Parties and Events, most is marketed on Facebook. She works from home and spends time with her 2-yr old son. (If you met her, you wouldn’t know she makes that kind of money, as she is still in shock.)

Who would you market to? Your family, friends and co-workers. The product sells itself and takes off from there. (Body builders, salon owners, etc.) Do you have to be a salesman? No, you need to want to make money and have fun doing it. (And of course, I believe in the product!)

Now, why am I sharing this with you? When I look at my family, friends and clients, I can’t really think of anyone that couldn’t use extra money. I know some that are out of work completely, some that are seeking part time jobs just to maintain, and some, well they have too much time on their hands anyway, lol.

For those of you that know me, my business is built on one thing…. MY NAME! In all honesty I am not going to put my name on something I don’t believe in. Nor am I going to promote ANYTHING that I think may have some hidden gimmicks or catches to it.

I DID MY HOMEWORK. I researched the company and the product line. I even attempted to find negative things surrounding it. Did I find anything negative? Of course I did, but not as a Distributor but as a Loyal Customer, I can say what I read was due to the part of them not reading the website before purchasing. What I also discovered is the product was at The Oscars, The Emmy Awards, and on the set of Sex and The City 2!

I can personally tell you my experiences as just a Loyal Customer. I used the products and I loved the results. The day I cancelled my “Auto Ship”, it took one call to the 800# and it was done. I can also tell you that as a current business owner, its what you make of it. They give you all the tools you need, what you do with it and where your income is headed is up to you.

I have absolutely nothing to hide. I am sharing this with you because I would RATHER see us celebrate together! This is my actual story on how and why I became a Distributor with all BS aside. Very soon, I will be posting my own photos for everyone to see! Bottom line is I am drawn to “All Natural”, weight loss, and looking and feeling great, although this is not all that they offer. Who wants to turn down an affordable spa treatment, or the opportunity to make money?

Why did I publish this on my blogs? Because when I am approached with how I am doing it, whether it is weight loss or income, I am referring you back here. (NO ONE can say I didn’t share this!) I am not setting out for “Rich”, I’m setting out for extra money in my pocket for something I believe in.

Visit my website. Take a look around. Hit me up with any questions. IF you SERIOUSLY want to make some extra money, then email me at ms-swami@comcast.net with your name and phone number (And your time zone!) and lets discuss it. If you are interested in just trying the Ultimate Body Wrap, they are $25 a piece and we can discuss that as well.



More to come soon!
