The decision to work from home may be a great choice for some people. With today's economy and lack of financial security, starting a home business has proven to be a viable option for many. With that being said, it's important to know what having a home business entails, what kind of business you want to be in, as well as learning how to build it long term. Welcome to my blog where I look forward to sharing my tips and advice on the realities of having and building a home business. With over 10 years of having a successful home business, not only have I been able to create financial security for my family, but I have helped so many others to do the same. Drawing on years of experience and success, I hope to continue to help others to achieve what ever their goals may be.

Juice Companies....Be careful out there....



Having my own home business for over 10 years now, I have seen so many of these "juice" companies come and go. I believe they end up in failure because they are based on hype and not real science.  The cost of these bottles of juice are also extremely high compared to value. Many  claim to have "antioxidant super power". 
Brunswich Labs, a well know independent laboratory conducted many tests with these "magic" juices with regards to ORAC values. Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in food.
The results? 
Here they are: Welches 100% Grape Juice had a higher ORAC value than companies like MonaVie, Xango Juice, GoChi Juice, Juice Plus....and the list goes on. Considering you can get Welches Grape Juice for a few dollars, it's unfortunate that so many of these companies are charging 30, 40 even 50 dollars for a bottle of juice that isn't even close to the nutritional value of something you can get for far less.
To your success, Donna
