Lifestyle Defense

OK everyone before I get started I just want to tell you that this post is going to be quick. PLEASE READ THOUGH! Since it is going to be quick it will only take you a couple of minutes to review and learn, what do you have to loose? OK so enough with the blabbering lets get started.

Do you ever have a hard time completing your goals? Do you really want the best for yourself but just can’t stop procrastinating? I am the same way and because of that I have been looking and searching for ways to rid myself of it. After all the years I have been looking guess what, I found nothing. Do you want to know that reason I found nothing? Let me explain.

When you are having trouble working or getting motivated there is something in you that needs to be released and guess what that is…CONTROL. You have to get control of yourself because the only thing that is going to make you work or help you out is, here’s the clincher…YOU! Now don’t get me wrong, there are people and things out there that can help you but ultimately the decision is up to you. You have to get up early in the morning, work hard, keep yourself motivated, study, and whatever else you might have to do to make progress.

I was recently trying to think of a new product to sell on my site and after going through several including but not limited to new Streetwise pepper sprays, 16 Inch Telescopic Steel Baton’s, and Streetwise 800k Stun Baton’s, I started to get discouraged and quit. I actually got up from my desk and quit working for almost two hours. After that time I kicked myself in the ass and got back to work. Why would something so stupid discourage me and prevent me from working? It was all in my head and as soon as I realized that I got back to work and have never looked back.

This is something you can do also. Keep focused and remember that you are either your best or worse enemy. Stay positive, keep focus, and NEVER QUIT.

When you are choosing a self defense product you have to make sure you know what your doing. Knowing the differences between products is key and that is what I plan on doing. I want to show you the difference between pepper spray and stun guns, this way when you make a choice to buy you will be educated enough to make the right decision. So let’s take a look at the world famous pepper vs. the notorious stun gun.

PEPPER SPRAY   VS.  STUN GUN

–Pepper spray has a range of about 10 feet.This way you do not have to be within close proximity to use the spray.

–Stun guns have to come in direct contact with the body. This makes it a little harder to keep your distance as you can imagine.

–Pepper spray’s main ingredient in capsaicin which is a chemical derived from hot peppers. The only thing one should be concerned with is the ability to build up a tolerance to that chemical. Although it is very unlikely it can happen. Just like eating a hot pepper, once you eat enough of them, you become tolerant.

–Stun gun’s on the other hand conduct electricity which people cannot get used to. If you get stunned your pretty much down for the count. With stun guns ranging anywhere from 50,000 - 1,000,000 volts of electricity you are sure to find something that will stop an assailant.

–Pepper spray’s cost anywhere from $5.00 - $30.00 depending on size.

–Stun gun’s range from $30.00 - $200.00.

–A pepper spray’s size is relatively small allowing it to fit easily in your pocket or purse.

–A stun gun is not much bigger than a pepper spray but big enough to stand out in either your purse or pocket.

There you go. Now that you have something to go by you shouldn’t have a problem picking the right self defense product. What ever you choose make sure you pick something you feel comfortable with and fits your needs. And remember, if you have any questions you can e-mail me at info@peopleprotection.com or just leave a comment below. Good luck!

I have been struggling for a while as to when and how I would come out of a mental slump. As I have talked about before, when you talk about self defense you not only talk about physical self defense but mental self defense as well. I am a firm believer now that you have to keep your mind focused on what matters and stick to your goal.

I have been working on something for a couple months now and have just now made progress. I have literally worked for months without any type of monetary gain and have just now reaped the fruits of my labor. The video above talks about how I stuck things out and why you should do the same.

I own an online store that sells pepper spray and self defense products. I had a goal to make a certain amount of money within a certain amount of time and have finally started really working towards that goal. The lesson here is to always stick with it no matter what. It is during your weakest point that you have to keep going strong.

I don’t want to blabber on so if you have any comments or suggestions please leave them below and I will be happy to answer them.

When you are shopping and trying to compare prices, having something to help you is key. Now since most of us don’t have an assistant walking around finding us deals we have to do the work ourselves. This is fine because when you look hard enough you can sometimes find lists that explain the top products in a particular genre. Lucky for you I have that exact list in regards to pepper spray.

So if you are looking for pepper spray and are unsure on what to buy fear not, I have the answer for you. So take a trip with me as I explain what I feel is the top five pepper sprays you can buy on the market.

1.) STREETWISE PEPPER SPRAY: This hands down is the best pepper spray product you can buy. One of the reasons for this is the amount of active ingredient they have in their product. With 17% active ingredient (capsaicin) it has the most potent mixture on the market. One spray with this and down goes the attacker. Also they come in several different sizes, shapes, colors, and styles. Ladies, if you want a pink pepper spray bottle they have that too. I almost forgot, their prices are awesome. Most sprays can be purchased for $!0.00 or less. With so much active ingredient it is the ultimate bang for your buck.

2.) MACE: This is a good one also just not as good as the old Streetwise listed above. The MACE brand has been around for a long time and they have a very wide selection of pepper spray products including gels and guns. However, they don’t have the active ingredient the Streetwise brand does and therefore is not as strong. Either way it is a good product and ultimately a second choice if needed.

3.) Bodyguard: Also a very good product. They take pride in their products and offer a wide variety of choices. Like the above choices they have pepper spray containers with key chains and clips for easy carrying. This spray however only has 13% active ingredient which means it will not be as strong as the Streetwise and Mace brands.

4.) Pepper Shot: This spray comes with all the goods. It has the clips and holsters needed to easy transportation but only comes with a 10% active ingredient. A nice spray for the kids, JUST KIDDING.

5.) Defense Technology: Another good backup spray. This has all the amenities of the other ones just very low on the consumer totem pole.

There you have it. Nothing fancy just the basics of what you need and how to choose. When looking just remember that pepper sprays come in all kinds of styles and colors. Just pay attention to how much active ingredient a product has and you will be fine. The more the better. Good luck!

Ok folks here we are going to go over the pros and cons of the Streetwise Pepper Spray which includes a clip and key ring. There are several things that Streetwise products offer that most competitors do not and my goal here is to help you figure them out. So let’s start as we begin our voyage into a better understanding of the Streetwise Pepper Spray.

First we are going to talk about the pros of this product. What makes this product better or worse than most? Lets take a look.

PROS

-Like Most products this one sprays between 8-10 foot range. This is ideal for anyone trying to create a distance between themselves and an attacker.

-The 3/4 oz. container has enough spray to provide roughly 12, one second bursts. This is plenty to stop and attacker one time.

-The product is made in the U.S. so those of you that are simply stuck on American made products, you don’t have to worry about foreign competition. All U.S., all the time.

-This product has a 17% active ingredient which is the most available to civilians. The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin. This is the chemical they take from peppers that make the pepper spray so hot and in our case, useful.   On top of that it is guaranteed to have at least 2 million Scoville Heat Units. S.H.U. are the way we measure the amount of heat the product produces. The higher the number the better, so you can pretty much guarantee that a product with 2 million S.H.U. is going to hurt once sprayed in the eyes and face.

-It can be used on animals such as dogs and bears. Aim+Spray=Ouch!

-It has a key ring and clip for easy access

CONS

-Since the container is only 3/4 oz. it is not very good for multiple use. Don’t get me wrong, if you are being attacked it will do it’s job and take down an attacker but don’t count on it saving you from twenty thugs.

-Weather: If it is a windy day be careful. The wind can sometimes cause the spray to come right back in your face. When this happens you will be on the ground for about a half hour for sure. To be safe make sure to spray with the wind instead of against it.

-Some sprays have a locking trigger on them to help prevent accidental discharge. This one however does not. This can be a PRO and a CON I guess. It can be a pro in the fact that it will not accidentally go off on you. It can be a con in the way that the trigger can get stuck sometimes preventing you fro using it when you need it. Just be careful with this particular spray because it can go off accidentally causing you a few minor discomforts.

OK there you have it. Now that you know EVERYTHING there is to know about the Streetwise Pepper Spray With Key Ring and Clip you should be well on your to buying a masterpiece. I know this information helped you but if you come across more questions please comment and I promise to answer them for you. Happy product hunting.

I’m not sure if anyone has ever seen or heard of Mack Newton but let me tell you, he is awesome. I belonged to a monthly internet subscription and saw that they taped Mack giving a couple of speeches. First off his speeches are highly motivational and second, he is the bravest person I have ever heard. If you get a chance check out his site at www.macknewton.com.

I just want to share a few things that he spoke on. These are what I call his “Theories/Life Lessons”. He is very inspirational and I think you will find his words the same. The things I am listing below are what Mack Newton says you should do in your day to day life. Doing these things will help you walk taller and be more confident in your life. He does not like quitters and his reasons for that are many. Please check out his site for more information. OK so lets take a look at his life lessons.

1.) The first one is awesome and one of my favorites. Make sure you always have an absence of grudges and resentment. They only serve to undermine the willingness to succeed. Basically not liking one self enough.

2.) Live in the present! Use the acronym W.I.N. That stands for Whats Important Now! Basically Mack says you should stay out of the past. Focus on what is going on now and stick with it. I’m not sure if you have ever read anything from Dale Carnegie but he has some awesome books also. One of the chapters in his book “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living”, was titled “living In Day Tight Compartments.” This is basically the same as Mack says. Stay in the present and worry about things as they come.

I used this concept to help launch my pepper spray business. You can check the site out at http://www.peopleprotection.com

3.) Cooperate with life. When things happen don’t punish yourself. If you are golfing and you slice a ball, don’t stress out, change your grip and try again.

4.) Force yourself to be outgoing especially during emotional stress. When times are hard and you feel like you can’t get pull yourself up, do something daring. Do something that you know you normally wouldn’t do. Trust me, it works and it will make a huge impact on your life.

5.) W.I.T. That stands for Whatever It Takes. You must be willing to do whatever it takes all the time.

6.) Refuse to pity yourself, face up to your responsibility. Don’t get down on yourself. Stand out and confess that everything will be OK.

7.) Practice working hard, honor, and loyalty. These are all old fashioned character traits.

I know these were a little vague but they do speak the truth. I can tell you from personal experience that these tips will change your life if practiced. Try them out, what do you have to loose? Please comment on whether or not you like it and if any of these tips have helped you.

I can’t decide whether or not I want to buy some pepper spray for my girlfriend or a stun gun? I’m sure she’ll love either one because she’s really big on self defense products, or maybe not. listen

Just want to pop on here and discuss a little about pepper spray. I honestly believe that all woman should have one in their purse. I get asked more often than not about what I people should carry in regards to self defense. In short, carry pepper spray. Pepper spray is cheap and very effective. One quick spray in the face and BAM!, assailant down. That’s it. Check out the pen pepper spray we sell on PeopleProtection.com.

There are a lot of factors that decide someone’s success in almost every situation. One of the most important CONTROLLED factors that determine success is your mental attitude. If ever plan on defending yourself you have to make sure you have the attitude of a winner. You must tell yourself constantly “I like myself!” You have to keep your head up and always be aware of what is going on around you. If you happen to find yourself in a scuffle, you cant always count on having your pepper spray handy!

Below I have listed a couple affirmations I found to be very effective with battling mental bullying. These are things you must do if you ever plan on defeating your mental habits. Remember: mental habits are what make people winners and looser or victors and victims. If you tell yourself you will loose at something, a fight, then that is most likely what is going to happen.

When you are trying to defend yourself you have to tell yourself that you will make it out of whatever happens perfectly fine. These are key mental strategies that are crucial for success. OK so here we are, let’s get into a few tips you can use that can also change your life.

1.) Tell yourself “I Like Myself!” I try to say this about 50 times a day. I usually say it to myself and not out loud, but if your home alone and you want a nice pick me up, scream it. Who cares if someone hears you. The reason I say to do this is because usually during the day people are belittling themselves in their own mind. You don’t realize it but a lot of times you might say things to yourself like “I cant do this”, or “I will never have the money to pay my bills.” These sayings are exactly the opposite of saying “I like myself!” People harm themselves so much in a days time by saying those things, why not say something good to yourself.

2.) Always think in a way that is BENEFICIAL to you. When ever you do something, tell yourself you are going to make it out OK or that it is going to end up good for you. This can be everything from playing chess to surviving a life and death situation. What you say to yourself becomes reality. When you feel you are pressed up against the wall, press back. Tell yourself that you will be fine and that everything going on right now is there to benefit you. Remember that the difference between successful people and non-successful people is what they say to themselves on a continual basis. Stay positive!

Those are just a couple of tips you can use to win an altercation. You have to defend your mind before you will ever be able to defend yourself.
