m e s s ag e f ro m the president Ana Hawk
Well we can say this has been an amazing
whirlwind this last month! We have moved everything from airline tickets (the illusive golden unicorn of trade, you never see them) to a $28,000 party bus fully operational business. We have over $200,000 in trade volume this last month alone. Not bad since the Federal Reserve posted consumer spending is down these last two months. Curiosities we consider that others do not think of and maybe should: How can the housing market and house sales but up when overall consumer spending is down? Does anyone else see a conflict there? AZ is trying to pass a law making Gold and Silver legal tender. Anyone know why we went away from this system as currency back in 12,000 BCE? Gold is difficult to carry, fluctuates in value, can be easy to fraud, everyone would need a calibrated scale, these are just a few of the downfalls to this plan. What if you try to go outside of AZ after you have converted? Is your currency now worth less? People are thinking, I can now buy a loaf of bread with my earring‌. Your earring is not actually gold, no that will not work. How would someone make change and in what currency would it be accepted? Have you ever seen a young person count change without a register, add in a currency that most have never seen and see how long the lines get. I feel it is an idea that was not totally thought out. What gold would be used? The last time I checked Fort Knox was not IN AZ. More in the news and trade: INSANT BARTER the parent company for INSTANT B US I NESS Magazine has gotten another award. Named by the Phoenix Business Journal as an Admired Business to watch due to the way we help business grow especially in this economy. We are very honored to accept this award at the dinner on May 23rd. We will of course put up pictures on our site, our phone app, our Face Book page and last but not least next month. http://instantbarter.com/ MY BARTER GAME is being launched the end of this month.

We use trade for all our advertising which draws attention to the company and pretty much anything else we need to build this company fast. The company’s nickname is INSTANT for a reason.

Instant Party Bus! At 100% Trade

Instant Barter Magazine May
Yes we did! We moved this $28,000 party bus 100% trade. What’s wrong with it you may ask? Simple it was an up and growing business with the owners both having full time weekday businesses they owned and they were not able to find the right people to manage and run this quickly growing successful business. It has 7 leather sofas, 14 flat screen TVs, and all the Wii and DS3 games systems. It runs off a generator. It is so quite if you are outside but inside it can be rocking. It is great for kids, football, and events or street parties. It is also good for Pub Crawls as well. The new owner came from Florida where it was worth the full amount paid. One of the most interesting facts is, it is turning into a cash conversion. The people who bought it for trade have found a cash buyer to buy it for cash. This is what happens when you have excess inventory that is in the “wrong place”. By accepting trade the previous owner is getting the things they want and the new owners are very happy. This is the POWER OF TRADE. Want to hear the rest of the story contact us. http://www.InstantBarter.com We have a million stories just like this one.

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve?
It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you. Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions of good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline. No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals. Could one conversation change your life?
