Then add in more than 350+ professional and world class athletes that are taking your products, and you have a winner! A company that has a 60 day money back guarantee on their products makes a bold statement that your company has the confidence that their customers will enjoy their products. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me I was sold on the instant credibility of all the celebrity endorsers.  When I saw just how many of endorsers XELR8 had, I was impressed.  I had never seen so many endorsers for just one company before.  I figured their must be something about these products for 350+ world class and professional athletes to jump aboard and back XELR8 and their products. These were athletes that I had seen on TV from following Hockey, Baseball, and Football that helped spark my curiosity enough for me to take a serious look at XELR8 products and the history of XELR8. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one had to sell me on XELR8 I did that all by myself.  I ordered a sample tin through one of XELR8's independent distributors web site. The tin consisted of samples of the XELR8 EDS system (Eat, Drink, &amp; Snack)system. I loved the taste and convenience of taking the products and was immediately sold on the products.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, no one had to sell me on the products or the money making opportunity available to customers that want to become a independent distributor of XELR8.   I just read the web site did my own independent  research on the company.  I then felt comfortable enough to order a Decision Tin right off an independent distributors web site. It was just that simple.  I have been involved with marketing XELR8 products for a year and a half and have been very pleased with the my results on a business level and also how I feel on the products.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most nutritional companies are always on the hunt for testimonials from their customers.  I enjoy being able to tell my customers that XELR8 products are carefully formulated for their maximum benefits.  With so many sports celebrities endorsing XELR8 products, XELR8 has to be careful of what they put into their products.  Sports greats such as Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson, Cadillac Williams, all have got to be careful of what they put into their bodies.  These athletes are surrounded by nutritional trainers.  The owners, coaches, players agents, and league requirements make it really hard to take products that would either harm them or cause them to be banned from the league.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when people ask me if these products are any good, I can feel comfortable telling them that if XELR8's products are good enough for over 350 celebrity athletes to pay retail for XELR8's products,  you can be rest assured that XELR8 products are good enough for you.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8's stock price has climbed significantly due to the launch of their latest product called Bazi Juice.  Bazi Juice features the historical Chinese Jujube fruit from the Shandong Province of China.  The Jujube fruit is rich in Betulinic Acid and has been known to help kill cancer cells. Betulinic acid has also been shown to help slow the progression of HIV.  You can do research online by simply typing in Betulinic acid into the search field.  You will be amazed at the amount of research that has done on Betulinic Acid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you combine the benefits of Jujube fruit and 7 other exotic fruits such as the Mangosteen, Acai Berry, Seabuckthorn, Goji Berry, Blueberry, Raspberry, and Pomegranate you get a complex blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.  In fact their are 8 super fruits, 12 vitamins and 68 minerals that make up Bazi Juice.  You may also appreciate the label on Bazi Juice because of the breakdown of ingredients that XELR8 provides.  Most companies don't give you much information on how much of everything is in their proprietary blend.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would like to lean more about XELR8 and it's latest product Bazi Juice please visit http://www.drinkbazi.biz/baziforever or click any one of the banners on this blog.

It was the song called "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers.  As I listened to the song I couldn't help but notice a similarity between the Gambler and MLM / Network Marketing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Professional Poker players make their living by reading faces and looking for tells.  Tells are the hints or a clue that a person gives off that allows you the player to capitalize on your opponents often unconscious signals.  By getting to know their tells the more experienced poker player can gauge whether to hold or fold as depicted in the song "The Gambler".  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how does this relate to the industry of  network marketing / MLM?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well for starters we need to recognize the tells our prospects are giving off.  If we don't then we risk wasting precious time on people that don't posses that burning hot white desire to change their financial situations.  How many times have we missed someone’s tells because we weren't really listening?  I know at least for myself that their has been more than a few times that I have failed to pay attention to my prospects tells. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We as recruiters need to know when to hold them or fold them and when to run.  I'm sure a few of you reading this have experienced a few you wished you had run from.  I believe that everyone is cut out for the MLM business model, however not everyone is willing to do what it takes to work the plan.  As recruiters we often find ourselves believing in people that don't often believe in themselves. If you spend the time to read their faces and listen to the words they are using you will be able to recognize your prospects unconscious tells. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May the Bazi be with you as you make it a Bazi day,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drinkbazi.biz/baziforever"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-2202365922175642642?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2202365922175642642'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2202365922175642642'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2007/04/gambler-i-was-driving-down-road.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-413123626806767770</id><published>2007-04-18T20:01:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-18T20:30:25.750-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>XELR8 is XELR8ing with Bazi Jujube Juice!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 Holdings' Direct Selling Network Now Numbers More Than 4,000 Following Enrollment of 663 New Participants in March &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    XELR8 Holdings, Inc. logo.

Each one has a headlining super fruit or a combination of several such as Bazi Juice does.  With so many out there how do you the consumer and or marketer know what separates one juice from the other?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably the best and most definitive way to find out whether or not a particular juice blend is more functional than the other is to look at the label of the product.  Seems like common sense right? One would think, but you would be surprised at just how many people don't take the time to read the labels.  Most of Bazi's competitors choose to hide behind a phrase call "Proprietary Blend".  These companies list the ingredients but do not list the quality of each ingredient.  Instead they choose to use the phrase "Proprietary Blend" to avoid listing the actual amounts of their ingredients.  Why do they do this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They know if they list how much of each ingredient is in the blend their competitors and potential competitors could just tweak the amounts of each specified ingredient.  Thus giving their competition the potential to bring to market a higher nutritional content beverage.  If they list their formulas as a "proprietary blend"  people can dispute it, but can't prove or disprove how much of that special ingredient is actually in the product.  The only people who really know what the specified amounts are is the people who formulated the product and the people at the head of these companies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure you have heard of a company called Xango which features the Mangosteen and the health benefits of the Xanthones in the Mangosteen fruit.  Xango appears to have done very well for themselve, however I can't find any financial documents to support their claims of growing faster than Microsoft, Pepsi Co, and Ebay.  Just as know one can find any concrete documentation of how much Mangosteen and Xanthones are actually in their product.  Just look at their product label below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Nutrition Label &amp; Ingredients&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XanGo™ juice is the original - the first dietary supplement created from the whole fruit of the exotic mangosteen, prized by countless generations in Southeast Asia. Now, thanks to modern science, we know that the whole fruit of the mangosteen offers a rich supply of beneficial xanthones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XanGo™'s patented unmatched formula delivers the power of xanthones in this singular, incredible beverage..&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Nutrition Information = One serving = 1 fl. oz. (30 ml)&lt;br /&gt;Servings per container = 25&lt;br /&gt;Calories = 10&lt;br /&gt;Total Carbohydrate = 3 g&lt;br /&gt;Sugars = 2 g&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ingredients = &lt;br /&gt;Proprietary Blend:&lt;br /&gt;Mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.)&lt;br /&gt;- Whole Fruit Juice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Along with :&lt;br /&gt;Apple fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Pear fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Pear fruit puree&lt;br /&gt;Grape fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Blueberry fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Raspberry fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Strawberry fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Cranberry fruit juice&lt;br /&gt;Cherry fruit juice &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other ingredients:&lt;br /&gt;Citric acid&lt;br /&gt;Natural flavor&lt;br /&gt;Pectin&lt;br /&gt;Xanthan gum&lt;br /&gt;Sodium benzoate&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you see any mention of the quantity of each ingredient?  Do you see any mention of the vitamin or mineral content? Now compare the Xango label to that of a product like &lt;a href="http://www.bazitools.com/PDFs/BaziSuppFacts.pdf"&gt;Bazi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why does XELR8 choose to list the unit break down of each nutritional factor in their "proprietary blend"?  There are probably several reasons why XELR8 and any company selling a functional health beverage does.  One is because they aren't afraid of their competition.  XELR8 has every intention to make additional improvements to their products.  XELR8 knows that they have to if they intend to stay ahead in the nutritional industry.  The other reason is that XELR8 has over 350 world class and professional athletes that use their products.  These athletes and their trainers need to know what their taking and how much of it.  They can't risk being banned from their respective sports.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi is what it is and I don't think there is any disputing that.  When you buy Bazi you know what your are getting.  XELR8 is a publicly traded company and you can see the good, the bad, and the ugly.  Companies like Xango are privately held and don't have to disclose their profits and losses to anyone.  So you pretty much have take their word on how well they are doing.  I talk to Xango reps who do nothing but tought how Xango is the biggest and best company out there. Yet they have no way of proving it other than through the hype they have been fed. When you ask them about how much Mangosteen and Xanthones are in their product they can't tell you.  It's sad to see so many people buying into the hype.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it a Bazi Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.drinkbazi.biz/baziforever"&gt;http://www.drinkbazi.biz/baziforever&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8.biz/baziforever"&gt;http://www.xelr8.biz/baziforever&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://foreverbazi.wikispaces.com"&gt;http://foreverbazi.wikispaces.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-7944046513107268127?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/7944046513107268127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/7944046513107268127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-does-bazi-compare-there-are-lot-of.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-8429481579003603344</id><published>2007-04-10T09:45:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T09:57:09.872-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Get Bazi with it and check out this inspirational movie trailer that is destined to be a huge hit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height='350' width='425'&gt;&lt;param value='http://youtube.com/v/rSZign0ZmB8' name='movie'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed height='350' width='425' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://youtube.com/v/rSZign0ZmB8'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check out this great new Inspirational video called "Pass it on"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-8429481579003603344?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/feeds/8429481579003603344/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31754387&amp;postID=8429481579003603344' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/8429481579003603344'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/8429481579003603344'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2007/04/pass-it-on-movie-trailer.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-2108404448776790379</id><published>2007-04-10T08:34:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T09:07:03.089-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>So just how well does Bazi work for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been taking Bazi for a couple of months now.  I didn't notice anything spectacular right off the bat.  It took about a week for me before I noticed a calming energy and better focus and mental clarity that people have been describing.   It wasn't until the last couple of days that I increased my morning shot to two shots and followed up with an XELR8 energy drink right after.  The energy drink back to back with the Bazi really gets me moving.  It's a calming energy that lasts the whole day.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yesterday I went for a run and was very impressed at how many more miles I was able to add to my normal run.  After my extended run I didn't feel vamped like I usually would.  I have always been a huge fan of the XELR8 energy drink even before the release of Bazi, but when you combine them both together you really feel a more enhanced energy.  The other nice thing is that you don't crash afterwards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it a Bazi Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-2108404448776790379?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2108404448776790379'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2108404448776790379'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2007/04/so-just-how-well-does-bazi-work-for-me.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-1667789973019962346</id><published>2007-04-08T10:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-04-08T11:01:15.603-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Revised on 3/14/2007 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many servings of Bazi can I enjoy per day?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recommend that you have at least one serving per day, but you can safely enjoy up to 5 servings throughout the day. Many of our Bazi drinkers enjoy taking 2 servings (2ounces) first thing in the morning and taking 1 serving (1 ounce) throughout the day when they need a lift!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How old should my children be before taking Bazi? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi is a powerful nutritional supplement with natural fruits and enhanced vitamins and minerals, therefore by law, XELR8 deems Bazi to be appropriate for individuals over the age of 14.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I am pregnant or nursing should I keep taking Bazi? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Bazi contains mostly natural fruits, it’s always important to check with your physician first before starting any new nutritional routine including taking Bazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it safe to take Bazi with my medications? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We know of no harmful interactions between Bazi and medications, however we recommend first that you check with your physician before starting any new nutritional routine including taking Bazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the shelf life of Bazi? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We recommend that you drink Bazi within the first year of its delivery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should I continue to keep taking the other XELR8 products while I’m drinking &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely, Bazi is a perfect add on to the existing XELR8 products. Bazi is formulated to provide you with a multitude of benefits coming from whole fruit sources, this can only be enhanced when taking the other XELR8 products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve noticed there are some minerals in Bazi like Aluminum and Silver, why aren’t these harmful? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important to note these are natural, plant derived minerals, not chemicals or metals (which can be harmful to the body). These minerals are derived from natural plant vegetation, this is why the Proprietary XELR8 Mineral Blend is 100% ionic, natural, and in body-ready form. The minerals are naturally found in the earth and can be found in trace amounts in plants (the earth’s soil contains minerals and growing plants take in trace quantities), and are needed by the body in trace amounts for chemical and metabolic processes. These minerals are important co-factors for some of the body’s most vital internal processes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel instant energy with Bazi, is that because of the caffeine? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Bazi contains some caffeine, the instant energy and clarity you are feeling is coming from the combination of certain elements that are contained within the fruits of Bazi, the B-vitamin complex, and the metabolic enhancing effects of the low levels of caffeine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much caffeine is in Bazi? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caffeine is one of the elements of the XELR8 proprietary blend. Extensive research was done to figure out at what low quantity was antioxidant activity (from the Phyto8 Fruit Blend) enhanced. For those that can drink a weak cup of coffee, or a cup of green tea, Bazi has significantly less caffeine than both of these examples. If someone is sensitive to caffeine, it’s best they drink one serving and see how they feel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Bazi all natural? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the Bazi formula consists of majority of natural fruits, to ensure the safety of Bazi, Sodium Benzoate, which is artificial, was used to preserve Bazi. Sodium benzoate carries the GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) designation by the FDA. It is used as an antimicrobial agent in very small amounts, and is added as part of the world recognized Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) in food and beverage processing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does Bazi have gluten, MSG, sulfur, or silicates? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Bazi approved by the FDA? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FDA does not approve any nutritional supplements, however the FDA does provide guidelines as far as ingredients to use and manufacturing processes, which Bazi and XELR8 follows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where does the Jujube Fruit come from? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Jujube Fruit can be found in many places of the world, Bazi contains ONLY Jujube Fruit grown from the prized region of Shandong in China. This region of China offers the optimal conditions and therefore most nutrient dense Jujube Fruit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve noticed that sometimes there is a slight difference in color and taste with Bazi, why is that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, it’s important that you make sure you give your Bazi bottle a little shake before pouring, often times the natural fruits and berry extracts can settle and therefore your Bazi could taste and look slightly different. Bazi uses all natural fruits and berries as its main ingredient element, and therefore these all natural sources can change slightly from season to season. Remember, Bazi uses 8 different varieties of fruits and berries, and each of these are grown in different parts of the world, therefore depending on the time of harvesting, each fruit can have different exterior properties. These changes can lead to slight changes in color and taste with Bazi, however it’s important to note that each bottle of Bazi is standardized for each ingredient, dosage, and nutrient density Just as a bushel of blueberries have different colors, tastes, and textures, Bazi being made of 8 natural fruits and berries will have similar differences, however the nutrient quality and quantity stays the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why does XELR8 use only certain source farms and growers for Bazi? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although many of the Bazi fruits and berries can be grown in different parts of the world, there are some areas where certain fruits can be grown consistently with the highest density and quality of nutrition. In these areas of the world, climate, soil, environment conditions are perfect to grow some of the Bazi fruits. It’s also important for XELR8 to choose source areas and manufactures where little transportation and minimal pick to process (picking of the fruit from the vine to the processing of the fruit) time occurs. Also, because XELR8 deals with some of the major sports figures around the world, it’s important we only choose manufactures that hold the highest credentials and standards to ensure maximum safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much of each fruit is in the XELR8 Phyto8 Blend? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Phyto8 Blend is a proprietary blend of 8 fruits known only to XELR8. Extensive research has gone into placing each fruit in a perfect ratio to allow for optimal benefits of health and wellness, this is what makes Bazi so unique and exclusive to XELR8.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I noticed that Calcium is included in the XELR8 Mineral Blend, should I stop taking my Calcium complex? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The XELR8 Mineral Blend contains many major minerals, however they are not in the quantity as individual complexes. If someone has been previously taking any of the individual minerals in the blend separately, XELR8 recommends they continue taking their individual complexes along with Bazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I need to take Bazi with food like my other supplements? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, unlike most nutritional supplements, Bazi is based using natural fruits and naturally contains many buffers to help with it’s absorption and uptake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I mix Bazi with water do I reduce any of the health benefits? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, diluting Bazi with water only adds a buffer (water), the nutrient quantities remain the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Bazi Kosher? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi, currently does not follow the spiritual guidelines to be Kosher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does Bazi use any artificial sweeteners? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, Bazi’s sweetness comes from the natural fruit sugars from the fruits and berries and fructose, a natural sugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is Bazi good for Diabetics? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi is a great supplement for Diabetics to get many of natures most prized fruits without dealing with the overwhelming amount of sugar. Although at low levels, Bazi does contain some natural sugars, therefore we recommend that after a physician has approved Bazi for the Diabetic they take Bazi in moderation. It is important to note that an individual with a major health issue should always consult their physician before starting any new nutritional routine, including taking Bazi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hear so many great testimonials from my friends and family about Bazi, and they are all so different, why is that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi is a unique formula that brings together much of the extensive research of Western medicine and science with the deep, ancient tradition of Eastern medicine, therefore Bazi has the ability to work on so many different areas of the body. Many of today’s nutritional formulas and pharmaceuticals work on the symptoms of certain conditions, while Bazi contains ingredients that help to strengthen, nourish, and revitalize the root of these conditions, therefore creating a wide array of health benefits. Think of your internal health as a tree, where all the branches on the tree are specific conditions you may have. One branch may have to do with joint pain you have, another may be energy, another could be eye health and so on. When taking certain products that are directed to support a certain condition or symptom, you can only support that specific branch of the tree. However, Bazi helps to strengthen and nourish the roots of the tree (or source of health). As these “roots” are strengthened, the entire “tree” benefits in so many different ways. This is why you hear so many great health benefits of Bazi, as Bazi works on the “roots” of YOUR “tree”, those conditions in which your body is weak, become alive and HEALTHY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’ve noticed that when I took Bazi for the first time, it made me feel a bit dizzy and then went away, why is that? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although on the surface Bazi may look like “just a fruit juice”, it is very important to note, that it is FAR from that. Bazi is a powerful nutritoinal supplement that has tremendous health benefits that utilizes the world’s most nutrative fruits and berries. As with any nutritional supplement that is formulated to provide immediate health benefits, Bazi contains ingredients that at first, with those who are sensitive, can give a “rush” feeling. Everyone’s body is different, they take to foods and nutrition differently, this is why it’s important sometimes to let the body get used to (or acclimate) to certain nutritional supplements. If the body has been away from this type of incredible nutrition, it may take it a few days or week to get used to, but as the body realizes it will be exposed to these amazing nutrients regularly, its overall health and wellness will greatly benefit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How does Bazi help to detoxify the body and what are some things I will immediately be able to see? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Bazi main fruits is called the Jujube Fruit. This fruit was chosen specifically for Bazi because of its steep, ancient tradition in Chinese Traditional Medicine and more importantly for its thousands of years of use in detoxifying the body, and important organs as well as the kidneys, what Eastern medicine believes is the source of ALL energy. Along with the Jujube Fruit is a host of antioxidants, not only from the extensive vitamin profile, but also from the other 7 powerful fruits and berries. All these nutrients combine to help cleanse, fortify, and strengthen the body and its internal organs. Detoxifying “effects” can vary from person to person, sometimes they are pleasant, such as a clarity, energy, and heighten senses feeling, or they can also fall on the other end of the spectrum such as feeling a bit “foggy” or “groggy”. These symptoms, although seem adverse, are NOT, they are just the body’s way of handling the detoxification. Think of this as similar to the feeling after you get a long massage, all of your bodies “toxins” rise to the top to be expelled through the pores of your system, this causes you to almost feel “sick”, however this passes (as you drink more water) as the toxins release from your system…leaving a healthy, refreshed, and revitalized body!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Revised on 3/14/2007 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will you be further enhancing the formula of Bazi?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely! The XELR8 products have always been at the cutting edge of nutrition, and Bazi is&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;no exception. We will be constantly looking at how to improve and enhance the Bazi formula,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;either by adding new elements to compliment the existing formula, or by re-evaluating each&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;current ingredient to ensure that we are receiving the best source and form. This is another&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reason why you may notice slight changes in color or taste each time the product is ran. Every&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;day new science and research leads us to better ways in helping the body and improving overall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;health and wellness, however you can be rest assured the Bazi formula stays on the cutting edge&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;of this science.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To order your 60 day money back guarantee bottle of Bazi please visit http://www.drinkbazi.biz/herdman&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi Juice with Jujube is brought to you by XELR8 which is a publicly traded company on the prestigious American Stock Exchange (BZI).

However how many people, including yourself, do you know that are actually getting their 5 a day in? I think you will agree that most people aren't. Just look at the fast food sales and obesity epidemic here in the U.S. We are a fast paced society that reaches for junk to satisfy our cravings. So how does one get all nutrition they need conveniently and affordably?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I myself would rather take a shot of Bazi in the morning and feel good knowing that I have consumed more fruits and antioxidants in one ounce than most people consume in a week. Bazi is a product that is like no other juice on the market today. You have probably heard about all these other super juices with exotic berries, but more often than not those juices don't disclose how much of everything is in their product. With Bazi you can see how much of each mineral and vitamin their is the bottle. With Bazi you know what your getting and you can feel good knowing you have done the best you can while living such a fast paced lifestyle. We all need a little help and Bazi can be that little extra help you need to live a healthier life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get Bazi with it and visit http://www.drinkbazi.biz/herdman and get your 60 day money back guarantee bottle of Bazi today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it a Bazi Day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;http://www.drinkbazi.biz/herdman&lt;br /&gt;Bazi Juice Business, Jujube Fruit, Acai, Mangosteen, Seabuckthorn, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Raspberry, Goji Berry, Xelr8, buy Bazi&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-2820352585610429845?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2820352585610429845'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2820352585610429845'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2007/04/are-you-getting-your-bazi-day-in-five.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-1613541876985735318</id><published>2007-03-26T18:46:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T03:55:50.666-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>These are Bazi times for XELR8, so get Bazi with it, and XELR8 with the XELR8 Bazi Juice Business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/RghQDz5b7DI/AAAAAAAAAAk/lpWwfxVTsMQ/s1600-h/baziCase.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/RghQDz5b7DI/AAAAAAAAAAk/lpWwfxVTsMQ/s400/baziCase.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5046371408869583922" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Bazi's eight super fruits has a nutritional story to tell. If Bazi contained only one or two of them, it would be a spectacular drink. Yet Bazi combines all eight in one vitamin and mineral-enriched formula, making it the only drink of its kind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi () is a Chinese word that translates literally as “Eight Characters.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Drink Bazi up to three times a day to relieve stress, support heart health, and enhance energy.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Intercellular Communication – The Magic of Bazi&lt;br /&gt;cAMP and cGMP:&lt;br /&gt;The Messengers of Life &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The jujube excites many biochemists and medical researches because of its high concentrations of cyclic GMP and cyclic AMP (or cGMP and cAMP for short). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What are they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;cGMP and cAMP are the “messengers” of the body. They carry important signals at the most fundamental level, the cell. Every physical and mental action requires the transmission of these messages. Without cGMP and cAMP, your cells—and your body—simply could not function. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is why the jujube is so utterly extraordinary. Its concentrations of cGMP and cAMP are higher than any other plant or animal in the world. No wonder this miraculous fruit has been indispensable to medical practitioners for centuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bazi - Betulinic Acid – Important Information&lt;br /&gt;Betulinic acid is a molecule (an organic acid) found abundantly in jujube. By simply reseaching ‘betulinic acid’ online, you will find remarkable data around betulinic acid's role in killing cancerous cells (apoptosis) and also in slowing the progression of HIV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The astonishing combination of exotic fruits and berries in Bazi is just the beginning of its potent nutritional value. It’s an antioxidant† powerhouse blended in a unique vitamin/mineral complex you can only get from XELR8, one of the world’s fastest-growing nutritional companies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12 Vitamins &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7 Vitamins  – 100% of the RDA &lt;br /&gt;Vitamin C – 225% of the RDA (Water Soluble Antioxidant) &lt;br /&gt;Vitamin E – 200% of the RDA (Fat Soluble Antioxidant) &lt;br /&gt;Entire B-Vitamin Complex &lt;br /&gt;68 Minerals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Major Minerals – Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, etc. &lt;br /&gt;All Minor Minerals – Manganese, Boron, Zinc, Vanadium &lt;br /&gt;All Co-Factors – Cesium, Gold, Silver, Copper &lt;br /&gt;While personal experience may vary, most Bazi users record greater levels of energy, focus, and clarity within minutes of taking their first shot.

Well we all know that most of the time this is really just a polite way of your prospect telling you their just not interested in what you have to offer.  It has always amazed me at how uncomfortable prospects are with telling someone their not interested.  Even some of the most highly professional people can't bring themselves to saying thanks but no thanks.  Instead they lead you on a wild goose chase of following up with them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As networkers we have learned that people are people and their is no changing that.  If a prospect is truly interested in what you have to offer they will find away to beg or borrow  to make it happen. There is a strong probability that you or someone in your downline will speak to a prospect this holiday shopping season that will say no to your opportunity because of money. It's also probable that same person will stand in line for hours to spend $600.00 they probably don't have on a Playstation 3.  In fact some of you reading this article may know of people who camped outside overnight to be one of the first in line for a Playstation 3.  Amazing what people will do for things they really want and yet can't probably afford.  This is why you can't take a prospects money objection personally.  People are people and you your job is not to change them.  Your job is to find people with a burning hot desire and are willing to change.  Your ultimately looking for people that are willing to reinvest back into themselves and their families.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe as networkers we all need to take a lesson from Sony.  Maybe we need to do a better job of creating that burning hot desire in our prospects.  A desire so great that they will be willing to beg or borrow for the money to sign up in our opportunities.  Sony expects to do $600 Million in sales this holiday season by moving just one million Playstations.  Amazing, isn't it?  One Million households with the Playstation 3 by Christmas,  many households of which probably couldn't really afford it but bought it anyways.  There is no doubt that you or someone in your downline will loose a prospect to Sony and their mighty Playstation 3.  Don't worry though, because when the hype is over and everyone has their new Playstation 3 they will be looking for a way to pay off those credit card bills.  That is where we come in, and we have to be ready to greet them head on with our own burning hot desires.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wishing You Success,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.xelr8withus.com/?t=blogspot.com' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'&gt;&lt;img src='http://mijctjjlj.tripod.com/xelr8plus_banner.jpg'/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-3392662962111784832?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/3392662962111784832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/3392662962111784832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/11/movie-mlm-versus-playstation-3-perhaps.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-1087573725637065850</id><published>2006-11-01T05:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-29T06:45:27.736-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Are you living a life of reaction rather than a life of design?

This financial platform is unusual for a brand that is so new to the marketplace. It has allowed XELR8 to put everything in place before people have discovered XELR8. XELR8 is well positioned for a major launch. For a distributor, this is what opportunity looks like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 is a publicly held company trading on the prestigious American Stock Exchange, XELR8 enjoys a reassuring stamp of legitimacy in all of its business dealings. As a XELR8 distributor, you can feel confident that what XELR8 does as a company is verifiable and on the public record.

The reason I says this is because people don't usually wake up one morning and decide to join a&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;network marketing business. They are usually approached with the opportunity by a stranger or someone they know. For this reason many people end up choosing the wrong business. The word business is at the end of home based business for a reason. Network marketing / MLM is a business and therefore requires sound business decisions. Business decisions often mean that you have to over look your personal appeal to the opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With just about all MLM's the concept of leverage is the same, but there are fundamental differences in the way MLM opportunities are structured and marketed . Many people will buy into the concept of leverage while not really taking into account all the variables that a company has available to help you with leverage. You may have choose a company with a great system but no real commission or product behind it. Or you may have signed on with a company with a great system, a great comp plan, but a lousy product. You will see many companies with excellent products but are struggling due to a poor system and lack of money in the comp plan. There are many variables to consider when looking into network marketing. Many of these variables go beyond an opportunities management, product, systems, and compensation. Some of these variables include understanding what timing and positioning really means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very few people make it big in their first network marketing venture, that is why it's so important to do research and learn about the industry before signing onto a &lt;strong&gt;network marketing&lt;/strong&gt; /&lt;strong&gt; home based business&lt;/strong&gt;. Learn about timing and positioning and what it really means. Once you have done your research you can choose your company and sponsor. Don't make the mistake of settling for the first thing that comes along because it's sounded good and you took a liking to the person who presented the opportunity to you. Your decision on a home based business needs to be based on sound business principles more than emotional and personal appeal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Partner To Success&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8withus.com"&gt;www.xelr8withus.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8.biz/herdman"&gt;www.xelr8.biz/herdman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-2328277112822888679?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2328277112822888679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/2328277112822888679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/10/choose-your-mlm-for-most-people-their.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-8654332876345123701</id><published>2006-10-21T07:26:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-21T07:28:54.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Join the revolution and &lt;strong&gt;XELR8&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 provides high-quality meals, drinks, snacks and &lt;strong&gt;nutritional supplements&lt;/strong&gt; for performance-minded people who want a healthy edge*.

I was impressed with all the great fitness information and Mel Ona's personal triumph over being obese. I have previously taken some of the products mentioned on Mel's site and have had some great results with them. Mel Ona's story is inspiring and really drives home the point that if you can see it, you can acheive it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A.C.H.I.E.V.E. Your Dreams By Mel Ona, M.S., M.P.H., M.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Adapted from Mel's book, Changing Bodies, Transforming Lives)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you remember what your life was like ten years ago?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about five years ago or even two years back?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it astonishing that many of us have only vague recollections of our lives from just one year ago. We say that life is too short and that life is a gift. How is it then that we take this precious gift for granted?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dealing with quotas at work, deadlines in school, various commitments, and responsibilities in our personal lives, we let time slip away. We often fail to do what it takes to reach our goals, attain good health, and enhance our relationships.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly we are greater than our shortcomings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My book, Changing Bodies, Transforming Lives, gives you a start toward improving the quality of your life. It contains the A.C.H.I.E.V.E.™ principles that you can use to attain optimal health and build lifelong success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On one level, this book explains the principles and specific plan that I used to transform my own physique. I am certain that if you follow these principles and plan with passion and discipline, you can change your own body, too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, building the body of your dreams is only one step. This book can also serve you on a deeper level. The principles described have a much wider application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Use them to improve your relationships, build financial “health,” create spiritual strength, and enhance your mental health and emotional well-being, as you achieve fulfillment and balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what motivated me to make positive, lasting changes in my life? For a long time, my state of health was far from optimal. I was frustrated, fat, and physically exhausted. Stressful events and life challenges overwhelmed me. My personal relationships suffered. My energy levels were at an all-time low. I was not living a balanced life eating excessively and neglecting exercise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly, it seemed easier to forget my problems by sitting around rather than proactively dealing with them. Ultimately, the price I paid was a poor self-image and unhealthy body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The turning point came when I reached my personal pain threshold and declared, “Enough is enough!” and I finally decided to change my attitude, actions, and habits – all important components to a life change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By following success strategies, which I call the A.C.H.I.E.V.E.™ principles, and a precise nutrition, training, and supplement plan, I was able to lose fat, build muscle, and dramatically change my body and transform my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program was simple but not easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was difficult and challenging, yet it has inspired me for the long run because it was during these tough times that I grew stronger and persevered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a spark of determination, I stretched beyond my own perceived limitations and accomplished what many people consider extraordinary results. I learned the value of setting goals and taking focused action and learning from my coaches along the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This system helped me develop a new attitude, new body, and new life. I did not receive prizes, money, or fame, but I sincerely and passionately believe that I “won” higher levels of fitness and functional vitality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today I wake up with more energy and vigor. Throughout the day I feel stronger and in control. I feel like a winner! I gained not only a better physique but also a new outlook on life. And if I can do it, then you can too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today is your metaphorical “before photo”. Right now, your "after photo" of your best body and ideal life is within your grasp.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are a living and breathing miracle. You were placed on this planet with awesome potential and many innate blessings. As each day passes, you will undoubtedly experience defining moments in your quest to attain your best body. I challenge you to capture and record these moments on a consistent basis and rejoice in your limitless potential for excellence in all that you do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The difference between those who succeed and those who do not has nothing to do with genetics, ability, or circumstance. Those who fail in life always seem to make excuses and selfishly seek to take from others, rather than give of themselves to help others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, those who succeed at the highest levels are the ones who find the inner strength and supportive resources to persevere despite crushing odds or massive crises. They feel fulfilled and fortunate throughout the process and they care for and find value in others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am convinced that my A.C.H.I.E.V.E.™ principles can help you fulfill your dreams. It contains some of the most important things I have learned from some of the most important people in my life: family, mentors, coaches, and friends. As long as you consistently apply these principles in your daily life, you can and will achieve your goals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My personal mission is to live a fulfilling life. This means developing a deeper sense of gratitude for my talents and helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. I believe that improving our physical, mental, emotional, financial, social, and spiritual lives is completely within our control. Recognizing our unlimited potential is the first step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tapping this potential to create positive, lasting change is one of the main challenges in life. My A.C.H.I.E.V.E.™ principles can help you do this. They contain some of the most important things I have learned from family, friends, and mentors. I invite you to apply the A.C.H.I.E.V.E.™ principles in your life consistently each day.

Do you really want to sell the same widget that everyone else has? The best way to determine if you have a winner for a product or service is to actually try the products or services the company is selling. If the MLM's products or services do something for you then you know that most likely you have something that others will benefit from.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When evaluating a companies products it is important that you also understand that just because it works for you, it may not work for everyone. Don't have unrealistic expectations about the product or service when you try it. It doesn't matter how great the product is, there will always be nay sayers that will try and poke holes in what ever you have to offer. So don't be scarred off if your close friend or relative says that the product did nothing for them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I remember trying a very well known juice supplement from a distributor in very fast growing MLM. The product did nothing for me, however that did not necessarily mean that it was a bad product or a bad MLM. The company was doing fantastic and breaking some industry records. The product was obviously doing something for someone. You have to be realalistic in your expectations of the product or service and realize that there will be people that will love your product or service even though your not completely sold on it. I will say that it does make a better fit if you enjoy the product and feel confident that others will also. So try to be realalistic and open minded in your trial of the products and services. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember that what you are really looking for is a product that will encourage retention of your newly sponsored people and their customers. If you don't have a solid unique product you will experience allot of fall out in your organization. A good metwork marketing /MLM company will provide a solid product at a reasonable price that is also unique only to that company. When it comes to nutritional companies make sure they have some sort of sampling capability that is easy to hand out, is free, and affordable for the average person. Last but not least, make sure that your product or service is easy to explain. Network marketing is about the ease of duplication. Try to stay away from products that are highly technical and laden with excessive amounts of science. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heavy hitters and management know that their will be fall out. They bank on the fact that those who quit will stay on the product even if they don't go on to build a network of customers or distributors. This is where a good portion of the sales and commissions come from in the network marketing industry. Make sure that what you are marketing will ensure a higher rate of retention with both customers and new recruits. Once you have evaluated the companies products and services it's time to evaluate the system in place to help you move that product. What does the company provide for systems and marketing tools? These tools are critical to moving the product and creating sales and new distributors. Look for my upcoming post on MLM systems and tools.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeff&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8withus.com/"&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8.biz/herdman"&gt;http://www.xelr8.biz/herdman&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-115854506952621558?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115854506952621558'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115854506952621558'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/09/four-pillars-of-successful-mlm-company.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-667278074842297989</id><published>2006-10-07T20:36:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-19T09:43:49.453-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>How about those Tigers!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been since 1987 that the Detroit Tigers have made it to the playoffs and since 1984 that they won their last World Series. It was great to see the players return to the field and spray the fans with campaign after their series clinching win over the New York Yankees. It's a time of celebration here in Detroit. We have waited along time for a winning team. We know we still have a ways to go, but even if we loose we are still very proud of our Tigers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Tigers were considered the underdogs against the all might New York Yankees. Jim Leyland and his Tigers shocked baseball fans around the country. While watching the game I couldn't help but feel a little guilty for not paying closer attention to the Tigers during the last several years. I know there are some loyal and die hard fans that have stuck it out even through a 119 game loosing season. It reminds me of the determination and belief that is so critical in reaching success in network marketing. One must endure many loosing seasons before reaching that winning season. When you really think about it sports and MLM are really quite synonymous with one another. These loyal die hard fans never gave up on their team. They believed and preserved knowing that someday things would turn around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We all know there is a physical preparation with sports, but what about the mental preparation? The Tigers let the Kansas City Royals sweep and deny them the divsion title that the Tigers were expected to win. They were in a loosing steak just before the first game with the Yankees. So what was it that turned them around and helped them come back and win 3 straight games to clinch the series against the Yankees? I like to think it was the coaching of Jim Leyland. I think Jim Leyland was instrumental in getting through to them that they were there playing against the Yankees because they deserved to be there. They had already proven that they had the skill and the talent to be there, they just needed to believe they were good enough to beat the Yankees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How many of us really believe in ourselves, our talents, and our abilities? How many of us believe we deserve to be standing on stage telling a room full of hundreds to even thousands of people our stories of how we achieved success in our &lt;strong&gt;network marketing business&lt;/strong&gt;? Just like the Tigers, you have to see it, and believe it, if your ever going to achieve it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go Tigers!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your Partner in Success,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-667278074842297989?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/667278074842297989'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/667278074842297989'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-about-those-tigers-its-been-since.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-8904837456268039479</id><published>2006-09-29T21:14:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-29T21:33:48.914-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Making Your List And Calling It Twice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have undoubtedly heard of the traditional making a list campaign that most all network marketing companies subscribe to. Yeah, I know, who wants to make a list and pester their friends and family? Unfortunately sometimes we have to get uncomfortable to get comfortable. Think of it this way- If you were starting a restaurant or any other type of brick and mortar business, wouldn't you want your friends and family to know about it? Of course you would.It's much easier to sell to someone that already knows and trusts us versus someone who we have just met. I prefer that my new IBO's only contact those on their list that they think would be most receptive to the concept of leverage through network marketing. The others on their list I would prefer them to first introduce the product and not the income opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before I got involved in the mlm industry I would never have imagined I would be talking to friends and family about a network marketing opportunity. I was totally turned off by the idea of network marketing. To me networkers were just a bunch of believers that were being brainwashed. Oddly enough things changed and I was now in Network Marketing and I was excited about hosting a PBR (Private Business Reception) at my home with all the people my wife and I knew. We were excited and making our list and writing down all the names we could. We were going to pack our living room full of people and make some money! We didn't care if our friends and family thought we were crazy or not. All we knew was that we were excited and&lt;strong&gt; sick and tried of being sick and tired!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So we called down our list and we got less than 10% to show up for a living room presentation that was put on by our upline. We ended up making almost $2000.00 that evening. Just enough to almost cover what it cost for us to start our business. We were pretty much at a break even point and accomplished this in less than one week. We then later went back to our list of people that we hadn't gotten a hold of. Within 48 hours we had personally sponsored 22 people from that list. We were now making some decent money. We had our upline cheering us on. It felt great and we were on top of the world! We made our list and checked it twice.Making a list worked well for my wife and I, however that doesn't mean it will work for everyone. There will be those people that will never approach anyone they know until they feel they can say they are successful. There will always be secret agents in your organization. That is why it is helpful to have other resources and tools available for the secret agents who are not ready to tap into their warm market yet. It's important that you don't push them to tap into their warm markets. The opportunity you choose should have more than just list making in the tool box. Afterall, you can't build a house with just a hammer.Tools and systems play a key role in achieving success in mlm. I will talk more about tools and systems in a later post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make it a Great Day,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8withus.com"&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-8904837456268039479?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/8904837456268039479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/8904837456268039479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/09/making-your-list-and-calling-it.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-115932101666720703</id><published>2006-09-26T21:26:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-28T21:36:04.623-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/2195/3876/1600/562XELR8VegasLaunch2006.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/2195/3876/200/562XELR8VegasLaunch2006.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;XELR8 With NFL Running Back Cadillac Williams!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="http://buccaneers.com/team/playerdetail.aspx?player=" href="http://buccaneers.com/team/playerdetail.aspx?player=Williams,Carnell,24"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;SPECIAL CALL!

In fact the craze for energy drinks is so big right now that in 2005 energy drink sales grew to $ 3.3 Billion dollars. Sales for energy drinks have gone up 700% over the last 5 years, and in the July 2006 issue of Fortune Magazine it was stated that for the first time ever soft drink sales have fallen in large part due to energy drink sales. Energy drink sales have become the fastest growing segment of all beverage sales. They are expected to out sell all other categories of soft drinks over the next several years. Interesting isn't it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does this say about our society? What it is happening that we need to dose ourselves up with tons of sugar and caffeine to get through the day? I don't know about you, but it doesn't sound like too many people are living a live of design to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money will come and go, but our health is our biggest asset. Unfortunately for many it's not until they have comprimised their health that they make a conscious decision to live a life of design. Don't procrastinate another day.

The Hare in Network Marketing seizes the opportunity and engages very early on. The Hare will work the business more than 7-10 hours a week and will have will have visited just about every Starbucks in their local area. The Hare will have 3 footed every employee at their local grocery store. They will have worked the system and utilized all the tools at their disposal. One would expect that the Hare would win the race down the road to success, however often this tends not to be the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So why is the hare greeted with failure and not success? Most of the time it's because the Hare had a sponsor that over hyped the business and sent them on a sponsoring binge. They were not fully prepared for the objections that they would encounter on the path to success. Success is a process in which one must endure and overcome failure through a course of time. Perhaps Thomas Edison said it best when he said "I never failed once. It just happened to be a 2000-step process." It took Edison 2000 failures before he was successful at creating the incandescent lightbulb. Edison saw each failure as an opportunity to start again. When you sponsor a Hare you must explain to them the fundamentals of the industry. You must make sure that their goals are realalistic and obtainable. If you pump them with hype and high expectations they will exhaust themselves early on. The truth is that they didn't really fail, they just didn't see their failure as a process leading to success. Henry Ford said it well when he said "Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what about the Tortes? The Tortes will stroll drown road to success and take in the scenery. They are just as excited as the Hare, but are equipped with realalistic expectations and goals. They know that success is a process. The Tortes knows that they will most likely have to endure some failures along the way. They will take the time to improve themselves through books, CD's, company meetings, and mentorship. The Tortes knows that amateurs convince while professionals sort. The Tortes will look for the people that are looking for them. Through a course of time your Tortes becomes your Hare, but this time you have will have armed your Hare with a bullet proof shell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carpe Deim "Seize The Day",&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-115854491052203796?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115854491052203796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115854491052203796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/09/turtle-and-hare-in-mlm-most-of-us-have.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-115846512498613069</id><published>2006-09-16T23:35:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-19T09:45:44.793-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>The Fearless &lt;strong&gt;MLM&lt;/strong&gt; Builder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General George Patten summed it up pretty well when he said "Fear Kills more Men than Death." What separates the 5% ers from the 95% ers in Network Marketing is simply a persons ability to overcome fear. We all have a choice, we can either let fear cripple us or let fear motivate and propel us to new heights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember my very first network marketing experience. I had just recently joined the fist company I was with when I received a 3-way call from my sponsor and a top income earner. I remember what Mark said to me as if it were yesterday. The reason I remember it so well is because what he told me has held true throughout my time in this industry. What he said was "you will find that the people most likely to build a business with you, are the people that are truly sick and tired of being sick and tired". Boy, was he ever right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People that are truly sick and tired of being sick and tired are not idled by fear. They have turned fear into a constant driving force. They will not buckle under criticism or rejection. They are tired of living a life of reaction and are looking for a life of design. They start their business knowing that it won't be easy and that their belief will likely be tested along the way. These are the people that I refer to as the heroes in &lt;strong&gt;Network Marketing&lt;/strong&gt;. These are the people you see on stage at your companies events. These are the people that your listening intently to and taking notes on as they speak. These people did what most people can't do. What is that you ask? They overcame their fears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8withus.com"&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-115846512498613069?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115846512498613069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115846512498613069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/09/fearless-mlm-builder-general-george.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-115781049282284820</id><published>2006-09-09T09:38:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-19T09:46:16.358-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;MLM&lt;/strong&gt; - Hard or Easy?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my opinion MLM is both easy and simple. The actual work and concept is easy, however the results are often hard. I think it is just the human nature of people that makes it so difficult. Many times have I sponsored someone who was genuinely looking to change their lives only to later have them fall victim to the microwave mentality. People are people and there is no getting around it. I don't care how easy you make the opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will always be people that will join just to quiet that nagging voice deep inside. It is the voice that's been saying "you need to make a change". Most people ignore that voice until it gets so loud they finally do something about it. So what do they do? They sign up in your company and expect instant gratification and then quit within 90 days. They bought themselves a dose of hope and can now arrogantly tell that nagging voice "see, it just doesn't work".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As long as people procrastinate and are resistant to change they will always be where their at. That is one reason why so many people fail in this industry. MLM often requires us to get uncomfortable. People resist getting uncomfortable all the while expecting that things will happen. The turth is that you have go out and make things happen. Your income will only exceed your personal growth in this industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.xelr8withus.com"&gt;http://www.xelr8withus.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;620-294-1610&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;XELR8 To A Life Of Design with MLM&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31754387-115781049282284820?l=xelr8withus.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115781049282284820'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31754387/posts/default/115781049282284820'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://xelr8withus.blogspot.com/2006/09/mlm-hard-or-easy-in-my-opinion-mlm-is.html' title=''/><author><name>Jeff</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_0ONJMmPspfo/SpLX9i8MGQI/AAAAAAAAABo/fQFd5jFAgKM/S220/101407_21441+(2).jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31754387.post-115768002329319461</id><published>2006-09-07T21:42:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-25T21:56:36.830-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1463/3401/1600/xler8.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1463/3401/320/xler8.1.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 with a Decision Pack!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 is fast becoming one of the premiere companies in the homebased business arena. Never before has a network marketing company launched with so much behind it and so early on. Don't let this one pass you by. XELR8 is a brand new publicly traded company with 350+ world class athletes endorsing it's brand. Big names with big reputations that are speaking very highly of XELR8 products. In fact over 94% make very loud statements about the products by purchasing their own products at retail. These endorsers are not a bunch of highly paid smiley faces that you have seen before with other companies. These are world class athletes that see real value and real results from XELR8 products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;XELR8 began by marketing it's products exclusively to world class athletes. They developed a name and brand for themselves with some of the biggest names in sports. XELR8 products soon began to make their way to the general public through friends and family. Now these same products are available to the general public. Athletes and nutrition go hand and hand. World class athletes expect the best because they have to be at their best.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Find out for yourself why so many celebrity athletes and coaches choose XELR8 for their nutritional requirements both on and off the field. Get yourself an XELR8 Decision Pack and sample our radically different EDS System (eat, drink, and snack system). XELR8 taps into the $250 Billion dollar eat, drink, and snack market. Everyone eats, everyone drinks, and everyone snacks. In fact the average American spends $250.00 a month on unhealthy eats, drinks, and snacks. This is a huge market that is only getting bigger. Get your XELR8 &lt;a href="http://www.xelr8.biz/decisionpack.aspx?wid=e61eadbe-f003-4437-9b9f-c2809c70fd64&amp;amp;ID=herdman"&gt;Decision Pack&lt;/a&gt; today!

Your prospects need to have a feeling of trust and legitimacy with the products you sell. People that are new to the industry of network marketing are looking for unique and legitimate products that are value added. The are likely to look at the products first and the income opportunity second. So how exactly do your earn their trust through the product?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many Networkers align themselves with privately held companies that boast of large sales, however can you actually see what the sales of the company are? Most privately held companies don't provide this kind of information. Other networkers will tout science or technical facts to establish how credible their products are. Did your potential distributor call you because they wanted a science lesson? People have short attention spans and selling products that are laden with science tends to be a turn off for most new people looking at your business. Your products should be affordable, simple to understand, and simple enough to be referred along.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind that many of these prospects are new to the industry and are faced with thousands of choices. They must weed out the scams from the more legit opportunities. It can be a very daunting task since many have already been pre-programmed that network marketing is a scam. Can you provide your prospects with instant credibility? The type of credibility that can help your prospects overcome their inhibitions about Network Marketing? Can you accomplish this in less than two minutes? Very few marketers can do this with their products and opportunity. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many companies tout celebrity endorsements to help overcome the credibility hurdle. There is one&lt;strong&gt; MLM&lt;/strong&gt; company that is publicly traded with hundreds of well known celebrity endorsers. In fact this one company has 350+ celebrity world class athletes and coaches endorsing their products. Celebrity endorsers help prospects identify with people bigger than themselves who have put their names and reputations on the line. Imagine being able to invite a prospect to a live call featuring one of your celebrity endorsers.
