Healthy Mushroom Coffee.

It sounds bizarre. But a new crop of believers are out there selling it.

If you  believe in natural remedies, which I do you may be interested to learn more about one of the most potent mushrooms that comes from Asia. Ganoderma is a type of mushroom also known as Reishi. It’s often called the magical mushroom because it’s been used for centuries as a medicinal treatment. Now it’s being sold in the U.S. in Coffee, Tea, even supplements. The question is does it work for whatever ails you. Entrepreneur and Chicago Resident Gary Leibovitz is convinced it’s improved his health and quality of life. “High blood pressure and high cholesterol run in my family. With the cost of healthcare out of reach for many and prescription medicine prices at unafforable levels, I needed to find something that would help my body function better so I would be less likely to need medication in my later years. My cholesterol levels and blood pressure have improved dramatically in the few months since I have been taking Ganoderma products by Organo Gold. It’s hard to describe but I just feel good. I am convinced it has helped me.”

Leibovitz is now part of a team selling Ganoderma products under the name Organo Gold. They can also be found on Facebook under Holistic Drink Specialists.

Leibovitz gave me some products to try. It’s too early to tell for me but the Tea tastes good.

Bag Ambition Boom

Barbara ConnIs it a sign the economy is picking up? Barbara Conn founder of BagAmbition.com says yes. She’s seen a significant increase in her business this Spring. Conn says, “I’ve seen our customers willing to spend more money, and that’s a positive indicator.” Bag Ambition is an online luxury handbag consignment site which Conn started in 2008. She launched it at a time when there was great uncertainty in the market. But like any smart business woman, she found a niche. Women love their handbags, Conn says, “The opportunity to buy designer goods at reasonable prices is attractive, no matter what your personal financial situation is.” She sells bags from $150.00 to over $1,000.00, and at customer requests has now added shoes to her website. Conn who has a background in marketing likes working for herself, and as an entrepreneur believes there are opportunities out there for people to pursue their passions and make money.
