READ THIS FIRST

1) To get the most value out of this program, listen to the audios first. After you have finished them, download and read the transcript. The transcript organizes the entire program in a clear and visually appealing way.

2) This page will always remain active for you so you don’t have to download the audios if you don’t wish to. Also, new tools and apps will be added to the Resource section as I discover them.

3) The Buzz Seminar — which is a bonus — can be accessed at the very bottom of this page. We recommended you go through the PROLIFIC program first.

AUDIO SESSIONS

1) You can listen to the sessions by clicking on the title (this is called “streaming”).

2) To download them, you can right click the title and “Save” it to your computer or tablet. (Depending on the kind of computer you have, the option will either say “Save as” or “Save target” or “Save link as” or something similar when you right-click on the title.)

Note: You have access to this page because you paid to gain access. Permission is NOT granted to share these audios, the transcript, or this page with anyone else.

Thank you for your integrity.

Enjoy!

“The whole point of getting things done is knowing what to leave undone.”

~ Lady Stella

“The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he’s always doing both.”

~ James Michener

UPDATES

Since PROLIFIC was created by Frank in 2016, it’s possible that some of the links no longer work as websites and services often expire. Keep this mind as you navigate the site.

In 2017, I (Frank) switched to using a Franklin Planner and it’s working beautifully. So much so that I won’t go back to the more generic planner I mentioned in the program.

The planner inserts I use have one full page per day (as mentioned in the program).

I typically use the Classic Blossoms One-Page Per Day inserts (the theme reminds me of Spring – new beginnings) or the Monticello style.

For the binder, I use the Classic Spacemaker Open Binder: Item #21271

I’ve also switched coffees. I no longer use red organic coffee. I instead usually drink GEVALIA Signature blend for the Keurig.

I also am using a 30 oz. Tumbler for my water. It keeps drinks hot or cold for long periods of time.

Also, I have experimented with Dr. Eric Berg’s Keto Eating Plan. I still stand by the Fast Metabolism Diet as a way of jump-starting one’s metabolism. But after that, Dr. Berg’s program is worth exploring.

My Full “Brown Dragon” Recipe

This is why I call it “The Brown Dragon”

Start with a mason jar with some purified water and add the following ingredients:

* Supreme Fulvic and Humic Complex 2oz
* Diatomaceous Earth (food grade) 1 tbsp
* Sulfur 1-2 tsp
* Sole (made from Himalayan salt) 1-2 tsp
* Potassium (powder) 1200mg
* Vitality C (vitamin c crystals) 4000mg
* Lastly, before drinking add 1 tbsp of whole psyllium husks

You can purchase the above ingredients at a Health Food store or online store.

I’ve also used the Wellness Formula by Source Naturals (you can find it on Amazon).

Sometimes I just drink the mineral liquid without the other ingredients.

I have also switched to AG1 at different times.
