The book is split into 2 parts

1. How your health is related to the amount of energy you have
2. 8 Secrets of improving your energy

Dr Frank’s health theories are based on the premise that the level of energy dictates how healthy we are. This reflects how old we are as well, not in terms of years but rather, physical ability.
The first part of the book tells us the mechanism of oxygen usage for generating energy and what factors affect this. It also reveals what causes diseases and why we feel lethargic at times. Some of the myth busting revelations gathered from this book are:

1. Obesity is resultant of the lack of energy (of inefficiency) and causes a vicious cycle
2. This cycle is usually a resultant of imbalanced carbohydrate intake, hormonal changes and body condition inefficiency
3. Exercise does not have to be hard (anaerobic) to burn fats. This instead will make you lose fats slower.
4. Energy affects all parts of your physical condition and efficiency

8 Secrets of improving your Energy

1. Water
1. Drink sufficiently especially when you wake up
2. Rest
1. Rest during anabolic phase (6pm-6am) as body repairs itself during this time
2. Don’t eat 3 hours before sleep
3. Sleep in the dark
3. Sunlight
4. Supplements
1. Use this with a good diet to have the best nutritional synergy
5. Food
1. Eat unlabeled food (most natural)
2. No trans-fat
3. Eat less more especially carbohydrates (or those high in glycemic index)
4. Fast occasionally to detoxify
5. Eat slowly
6. Exercise
1. Especially when older
2. Exercise between FBT (fat burning rate) and ATR (anaerobic threshold rate)
1. max heart rate is 208 –(0.7*age)
2. FBR is 0.65 of max heart rate
3. ATR is 0.85 of max heart rate
3. FBR and ATR is subjective depending on health. FBR can be estimated by a slight difficulty in talking when exercising.
4. Alternate between Interval and Circuit training
7. Breathing
1. Breathe with your stomach and not your chest
8. Bio-identical hormonal replacement

There is much emphasis on Dr Franks product range as well although many of his advice can be applied via one’s effort.

Read the show and watched the show. A bit sad for a story like this.

The Lead Ladder - Marcus Schaller

• Hardcover: 144 pages
• Publisher: McGraw-Hill; 1 edition (August 25, 2006)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0071479090
• ISBN-13: 978-0071479097
• Product Dimensions: 8.3 x 5.4 x 0.7 inches 

This is a very short and easy book to read. It summarises the necessary details and guides the reader on a step by step journey in building leads. The content is cast in a way that it follows a salesman who has failed in his sale business and is starting to build it from scratch with the help of a friend.

The Lead Ladder is characterised by a pyramid shape where the base forms the reach, then leads, then one-to-one consultations then to clients. At every step higher, the number drops and the service is more personalized and differentiated. Schaller advises to 'work backwards' in determining the number of clients needed then calculating the size of your reach. This determines the type strategy in collecting leads.

It is important to focus on a particular niche or market as well so that your marketing message is not lost on the reach. The message must be focused enough to answer any potential clients' questions or needs.

Managing leads database is critical and followup is a must. Being consistent will win you clients as different clients move up the ladder at different speeds.
