Ideas are Dime a Dozen, Action is Priceless

A high-powered sports car has a tremendous amount of potential energy, but cannot leave the starting gate until someone turns on its ignition. The powerful engines of a wide-bodied jet cannot lift that plane one inch off the ground without someone activating its controls. If you are going to wait to feel "right" about doing something, or for someone to motivate you, it may never happen. A self-starter knows that there is never a "right" time to get started. Too many people sit around waiting to be motivated-as if there were some chemical reaction about to take place. The self-starter acts on his/her goals, and knows that 'time kills deals.' The time is right now.

"I never worry about action, but only inaction." -Winston Churchill

Crystalline Fructose

Efusjon is sweetened with Crystalline Fructose Metagenics, Inc. August 2004 Fructose ("fruit sugar") is an all-natural compound found in many fruits and vegetables. Although fructose is sweeter than glucose or sucrose, its glycemic index (GI)—the extent to which it affects an individual's blood glucose levels immediately after ingestion—is much lower than that of glucose or sucrose. In fact, fructose is known to have the lowest GI of any of the simple sugars.1 Because pure, crystalline fructose results in lower blood glucose levels after ingestion, it has long been considered the preferred sweetener for individuals with diabetes and other insulin-related problems.2,3 Fructose as Part of a Healthy Diet When consumed as part of a low-GI diet, no adverse effects have been associated with modest fructose intake. Quite the contrary, research demonstrates that moderate levels of fructose—when substituted for sucrose and glucose in a low-GI diet—can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in both healthy and diabetic individuals.4-11 Because fructose is sweeter than glucose or sucrose, less fructose—and therefore fewer calories—are required for the same sweetness effect. When analyzing the effects of fructose intake, factors such as dietary composition (including total glycemic load), nutritional status, and genetic uniqueness must be considered before reaching concrete conclusions on the metabolic effects of fructose. The recent widespread use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—as opposed to crystalline fructose—in many common food products has led to confusion regarding the potentially adverse physiological effects of fructose ingestion. Because the differences between HFCS and crystalline fructose are often undisclosed, many of the negative findings related to elevated HFCS consumption are mistakenly associated with crystalline fructose. Crystalline Fructose versus HFCS Before conclusions regarding the safety of fructose consumption can be made, two significant distinctions between crystalline fructose and HFCS must be noted. 1. HFCS is manufactured from cornstarch after the removal of protein and fiber. The cornstarch is hydrolyzed to form dextrose, which then undergoes an isomerization process to yield different forms of HFCS that vary depending on the final fructose content. HFCS therefore contains other components in addition to fructose, the majority of which is glucose with minor contributions of other substances including maltose, maltotriose, and polydextrose. In contrast, crystalline fructose is purified and does not contain appreciable amounts of other components. 2. An excessive intake of HFCS is easily achieved and is relatively common today due to the high per-serving content of HFCS in many popular food items. Research has shown a direct correlation between high levels of dietary HFCS and the prevalence of metabolic changes. Crystalline fructose, on the other hand, is usually found in or added to certain foods in much lower levels. 　 CONCLUSION: Due to the varying structural features and average intake levels of HFCS and crystalline fructose, the physiological results of HFCS consumption differ from those of crystalline fructose consumption. For example, when patients with type 2 diabetes were given equicaloric amounts of HFCS or fructose, blood glucose and insulin levels were significantly increased with the HFCS over the fructose.12,13 Therefore, it is important to identify studies using non-HFCS sources of fructose to accurately assess the effects of fructose in humans. Since many factors can influence blood glucose and insulin responses, the best course of action for individuals that are sensitive to sugars is to choose products—such as pure, crystalline fructose—that have been tested and shown to have a low GI response when consumed in moderation.1 References 1.

going back to what originally made this opportunity so wonderful

Hello efusjon Team,

The March Madness is finally setting in…and we’re excited to rock and roll! The last 24 hours have been full of excitement about the positive changes that are taking place. Today we want to provide you with a quick recap of the conference call from Rob Towles that we posted yesterday, along with some other updates.

Conference Call Recap

If you haven’t had a chance yet to listen to the conference call with efusjon President & CEO Rob Towles, follow this link to listen or download at your convenience: http://www.myefusjon.com/events.asp. Here is a summary of the announcements that he made:

- We’re going back to what originally made this opportunity so wonderful and that is the ability to enable each and every distributor to truly pay it forward. We want everyone to help one another to achieve success, and therefore we have re-implemented the 4.25% compensation plan. We still guarantee a 50% payout to the field on all matrix sales volume which means that there could be a variance higher or lower than the 4.25% for any given month. We have also enhanced the Ignite Associate Product Volume Bonus which is now $100 for each new personal enrollee who purchases $120 in product volume.

Here are the 4 ways to get paid:

1. Sell/Retail your efusjon products (earn 4.25%)

2. Ignite Associate Product Volume Bonus (earn $100 per new personally-enrolled Associate who purchases $120 in product volume)

3. Personal Enrollee sales volume (earn 4.25%)

4. Community Overlap sales volume (earn 4.25%)

***Download our updated compensation plan PDF here: http://www.efusjon.com/assets/pdfs/compplan.pdf

- Along with the theme of “Getting Back to Basics”, we will no longer be awarding the Top 30 Bonus Pool. We want to give each new Distributor an equal opportunity to make money and achieve success, and we want to continue to motivate others to pay it forward.

- We also will no longer be continuing the monthly compression cycle. Although it was a somewhat effective way to compress the associates within your matrix, we are sorry for the frustration and confusion that it caused for a lot of you. We don’t want you to have to worry from month to month about who will be in your downline and who will disappear due to compression. We want you to be able to form strong bonds of friendship with other business associates who can then work together with you to help others. This can only be achieved with consistency in your matrix so that you know who you can work with. Please note that we committed the cycle yesterday for the month of February so, as always, you may possibly see some attrition within your downline but this is not due to compression.

- We know that a lot of you are very excited about the shots that were discussed at our event in January. We want to let you know that our goals moving forward are to focus on creating some outstanding business building tools for you and also creating a new and enhanced website that is much more comprehensive. After these goals are accomplished we will continue where we left off with the new shots.

We definitely appreciate all of you who have stuck with us through the ups and downs and all of the changes. You are amazing individuals!

March Madness Sale

During the month of March only we will be offering a special sale on our Success From Home magazines! You can now get 50 copies for only $100!

Achievement

Great leaders are constantly teaching those around them how to respond to the forces of life. In order to have successful achievement you must use & coordinate three things. Thoughts, feelings and actions. Thoughts are your life energy. Keep them positive and flowing. Feelings keep your thoughts alive, encourage more positive thoughts, and get the body moving. Action is important to accomplish the physical tasks necessary for all achievements.

"EFUSJON: A HEALTHY SPORTS ENERGY DRINK"

Dr. Bill M. Smith's Efusjon Article
"EFUSJON: A HEALTHY SPORTS ENERGY DRINK"

As a board certified Family Practice and Sports Medicine Physician for over 20 years, at the Olympic, professional, collegiate and high school level's, I am required to constantly stay up to date with the use of performance enhancers, supplements and more recently the widespread use of energy drinks. The growing use of these energy drinks that contain excessive amounts of caffeine and sugar are causing tremendous concerns in the medical arena including emergency rooms and locker rooms. This concern is based on the negative affect it may have on the cardiac and nervous system. People understand the effect of ingesting too much caffeine and sugar, but don't realize that is exactly what is happening with the ingestion of these drinks and the serious effects it may have on you.

Fortunately, I have discovered an exciting new product, Efusjon which is a natural alternative, providing real healthy energy without the negative side effects. We all live very busy and active lives and don't always have the time to treat our bodies the way we should in order to maintain optimal health. Polluted air, junk foods, stress and disease states such as hypertension and diabetes as well as obesity, all lead to an increase in free oxide radicals in our blood stream. Research indicates that these free radicals are the "bad actors" in our system that lead to many unwanted medical conditions such as heart disease and cancer. Many good fruits and vegetables as well as some vitamins have good levels of antioxidants which are the "good actors" which act as "free oxide radical scavengers" to help fight off the bad affect of the free radicals. So we all need plenty of antioxidants in our system to help fight off these disease states and the affect it has on our immune system. Dr. Richard Cutler of the National Institute of Health says "the amount of antioxidants in your body is directly proportional to how long and he althy you will live".

The EFUSJON ENERGY DRINK is a totally healthy drink which ingredients include the Acai Berry which has one of the highest antioxidant levels ever found. Most experts in this field of nutrition call this little berry found in Brazil, "the number one super food in the world". Until recently there has been no way to capture the active ingredients after harvesting this fruit. Through a specialized processing method, the berry can now be harvested and still maintain one of the highest levels of antioxidation available. The drink also includes Omega Fatty Acids=2 0(3, 6, 9) the good fish oils, the B-Complex Vitamins, and Vitamins A, C, E, with Potassium, Calcium and Iron with no sodium or other preservatives. It contains 15 grams of Crystalline Fructose which is 98 % pure fructose (fruit sugar) which accounts for the 60 calories. It also contains D-ribose which is a highly acclaimed natural occurring substance that promotes energy production, muscle recovery and promotes cardiovascular health. This combination of healthy ingredients without the sugar and large amounts of caffeine that is loaded in most of the other sports energy drinks, makes this an outstanding way to provide you more daily energy and a healthier defense and recovery system.

In Good Health,
Bill Moore Smith, M.D.

With that, we are going to try three times a charm with Loren Middag - Master Distributor hosting the call this Thursday at 6:30 pm PST. I have given him special access to host our home run club call after the nationwide conference call with the hopes we can all participate without getting dropped from the call this time. On top of all that, the leadership of our team, Ms. Liz Banks will join us!

Thanks for your patience the last couple of times we have had difficulty with the conference line. Please make every effort to participate and invite others, as you won't be disappointed. This is the kickoff of the efusjon party train, so you don't want to miss it! The tour is about to begin in our hometowns.

Looking forward to learning from the leadership and paying it forward...Go Home Run Club and efusjon energy club!

Hope

"We need hope for living. Hope is wanting something so eagerly that in spite of all the evidence that your not going to get it, you go right on wanting it. Everything that is done in the world is done by hope. Make big plans, aim high in hope and work."

Networking Goals Education

Define Your WHY / Purpose
Here’s a story about Bruce Lee which sets the stage for this little exercise. A master martial artist asked Bruce to teach him everything Bruce knew about martial arts. Bruce held up two cups, both filled with liquid. “The first cup,” said Bruce, “represents all of your knowledge about martial arts. The second cup represents all of my knowledge about martial arts. If you want to fill your cup with my knowledge, you must first empty your cup of your knowledge.”
If you want to discover your true purpose in life, you must first empty your mind of all the false purposes you’ve been taught (including the idea that you may have no purpose at all).
“The purpose of life is a life of purpose”
People here know they want all the benefits that networking has to offer, but they have no idea why they want it, and that is the problem. Lets use money as the example. Simply knowing that you want money is not enough. Why do you want money is the question you should be asking yourself. Without knowing why you want money, how do you ever expect to get it, and how do you expect to stay motivated and in the business?
This is the main reason why so many people drop like flies upon entry of the networking industry. They become
overwhelmed by the amount of work that they need to put into their business in order for it to prosper, and they
don't even know why they want to build it in the first place.
Your WHY has to be something that is strong enough to push you through the tough times that you are going to have while building your business. Maybe your WHY is because the money will allow you to:
* Give you more time freedom to spend with your family or just doing the things you love to do...

* Get you the home of your dreams that you have longed for your entire life...

* Travel to all the destinations you have been dreaming of visiting...

* Put your children/ siblings through school...

* Donate to many charities...
Or maybe your WHY has nothing to do with money at all. Whatever your WHY is, make it meaningful to you, know one else! There is no need to try to impress anyone with your WHY.
We need a definite major purpose, some reason to get out of bed in the morning; something to challenge us. Brain research has shown that if we keep ourselves intellectually challenged and stimulate the mind we may actually cause brain cells, called neurons, to branch wildly and establish new connections. So stimulate your brain with a purpose and challenge your thinking!
We must have a purpose, because it’s the source of the life energy that makes our lives meaningful. Setting goals is so important because it gives us a purpose to live. That’s why people say you’ve got to have a dream, a vision.
Are you living the life you were meant to live? When you identify the big purpose, your “why” that you want to go after in life, all of a sudden the life energy you need starts coming in to you to fulfill that purpose.
Lastly, if you can have a WHY that can bring you to tears, you are almost guaranteed success. Your WHY is your fuel, or your driving force that is going to keep you on the road.

Here’s what to do:
1. Take out a blank sheet of paper.
2. Write at the top, “What is my true purpose in life?”
3. Write an answer (any answer) that pops into your head. It doesn’t have to be a complete sentence. A short phrase is fine.
4. Repeat step 3 until you write the answer that makes you cry. This is your purpose.
Paint the picture in your mind of your purpose. Feel good about your reason why. Why do you do what you do? Why are you here today? Why do you want to achieve or accomplish your goals? Why did you get out of bed this morning? Why…







Networking Goals

We are going to set individual networking goals today, and then in later weeks, we are going to design a plan to meet those goals.

SMART Goals – Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timed with a deadline.



Review Networking Successes From The Past Year

“Without a goal, you can’t measure your results.”

1. What type of networking events did you attend in the last year? Book signings, Chamber of Commerce, business luncheons, trade shows, BNI meetings? Where are they located?
2. How many did you attend each month?
3. How many new networking relationships did you identify AND develop? Specifically, how did you go about identifying those relationships and what did you do for follow up? Oftentimes, the best networkers develop a list and make sure they contact the people on that list.
4. How many business referrals have you been able to provide to your new networking relationships? A good measure of success is to make sure you are able to identify good referrals for the valued members of your network.



Networking Goals

“That which gets written, gets done.”




1. How much business do you want to get from word-of-mouth referrals, and by when?
• What do you need to do for this to happen?
• Who will bring you this business?
• What kind of business do you expect to get from referrals?
• Will the referrals focus on a specific product or service?
2. How many networking functions will you attend each week?
• How will you find out about these functions?
• What will you accomplish at these functions?
3. How many referrals do you want each week? Each month?
4. What five things will you do differently to network your business?
5. With whom do you want to meet this year? (List anything that comes to mind: businesses, professionals, names of specific people you’d like to meet.)
6. Of which networking groups would you like to become a member this year?
7. How much time will I dedicate to networking each week?
8. What percentage of my marketing budget will I dedicate to word of mouth?
9. How many meals each week will I eat with someone else?
10. How many new people do I want to meet each week?
11. What other methods will I use to generate new business?


Networking Event Goals

“Without a goal, you have nothing at which to aim.”







1. Decide what you must achieve to have made the event worthwhile. e.g. is your objective to distribute your business cards to everyone attending, is it a fact-finding exercise, do you want to specifically talk to two or three people who you could form a specific alliance with or do you want to speak with someone who could introduce you to a particular organization?
2. Be clear on who you want to talk to – if possible, ask for a list of attendees, and decide who on the list you think would be most useful to talk to.
3. Think about what information you want to go away with.
4. Think about what information you want to convey?
5. If the passing of referrals are an integral part of the event, think about what specific introductions you are looking for and be prepared to ask for them.
6. Consider what else you want to happen as a result of your attendance at the event?
7. Finally, have a clear picture of your goal in your head and be positive about achieving it – think about how you will feel if you achieve it. Act as if you have already achieved the goal. The Law of Attraction says that your thoughts and feelings become reality!



Block Out Time to Network

There are four steps to changing a behavior: want it, learn it, try it, and live it.

This requires continued commitment on your part to execute what you learn, not just by trying one new strategy each week, but by integrating your new skills in the way you conduct your business everyday.

Using your calendar, schedule time to network this week.
• Seven hours is a good number to shoot for
• Color-code your calendar to track your networking efforts















Networking Goals Checklist

Goals clarify focus, increase motivation and develop enthusiasm. Setting Goals is a positive and necessary step towards achieving better networking results. Review the list of networking categories below and choose a goal to focus on.


___I increase awareness about my company, product or service by participating in a trade show/conference/product showcase.

___I educate others about my product/service by making a group presentation.

___I improve my personal credibility and build trust by taking a leadership role on the executive or a committee.

___I set specific unit, dollar and/or profit objectives I want or need from my investment in a networking group.

___I develop relationships with specific clients, prospects or suppliers who are members of my group.

___I determine key members of the group who can influence others or leverage my involvement.

___I take responsibility for following up with qualified prospects because I know they will appreciate the value I represent.

___I get more business from group members who are existing customers by identifying new/additional business opportunities.

___I invest in educating members of my group about myself, my products and my company so they will refer me to others.

___I offer qualified referrals to satisfied clients and trusted colleagues as an investment in getting business from them.

___I prepare for every networking event by setting specific objectives before arriving.

___I use a 15-word positioning statement to help me communicate more effectively about my product/service.


















Lets Play A Game!

Soccer

1. Everyone should have a clear picture of their WHY
2. Think of 1 specific networking goal that you have (Get Referrals)
3. Take a sticky note and write down 1 way that you plan to achieve that goal
4. Stick each note inside the outlined portion of the wall

- The outlined portion of the wall represents the goal (specific goal). Every different goal is considered a different game, which means a different strategy.

- The sticky notes represent where we are going to aim (target) to hit that goal. The more places you can aim, the better chances you have of hitting your goal.

- Your WHY is the reason to play the game or have a goal to shoot at. Each winning game leads to the ultimate prize… your purpose; which is whatever you make it to be, as long as you first have a very clear picture of what you want.

5. Select someone to be a goalie.
- The goalie represents the obstacles that get in the way of you achieving your goal.

Note: If you don’t have many ways to achieve that goal, then you better have a good strategy to maneuver around the obstacles.

- The ball represents what drives the goal. It is equivalent in size to the level of your frustration toward your shot. It is the confidence you have. The smaller the ball, the over-confidence you have, while the bigger the ball, the more frustration you have. The smaller ball makes it easier to score in the goal, but having over-confidence can make it harder to hit specific goals and harder to kick, causing you to completely miss your shot. On the other hand, having too much frustration or a bigger ball, makes it harder to get around the obstacles that stand in your way. It can lead to you giving up completely. You must balance your frustration and confidence in between a big ball and a little ball. A medium size ball can hit your target, while getting around the obstacles; therefore your confidence needs to be strong, but not overdone.

6. In this game, you are all the kicker! Nothing happens without you taking action! Now kick the ball and see if you hit your target and score a goal!






Give to Others First
In networking, there are three kinds of people: those who wait and watch for things to happen, those who make things happen, and those who wonder what the heck happened.

My goal for this networking group is to educate you on ways to be the person who makes things happen. A great way to start off this group, would be to give to others first. By giving to others first, you take the initial step in building two-way, win-win networking relationships. You’re leading by example, modeling the behavior you hope others will adopt.

Begin by understanding the phenomenal value of your network. It’s a gold mine. It’s a treasure chest of talents, skills, and knowledge. It holds the power to help people you care about in more ways than either you or they can imagine.

You are the gatekeeper to the resources locked inside your network.




































Construct a letter similar to the sample provided, and then send it to your clients and throughout your network. Be sure not to include names and phone numbers of the people whose businesses you’ve referenced on your list.

How many of you believe… ?
Your Networth is often determined by your Network.

- Think of your 5 closest friends. Take how much they make on an annual basis and add it all together, then divide by 5. Your income is most likely within 10-15k of that number.

“If you want to soar with the eagles, you can’t hang with the turkeys.”

- Get rid of all your friends! No… I’m kidding, add to them. Find people who are
moving in the direction you want to head and learn from them. Be a leader in your business and continue to follow those who have more skills, knowledge, resources, and expertise.

- Attract the center of influence; the movers and shakers. They have the ability to make things happen. They can make decisions and have influence in their market place.

- Get involved! Network where ever you go. Join a bowling league, little leagues, sports,
business enterprising, pool, darts, networking groups, etc. Get involved with the intention to serve first, or give first, and the law of reciprocity plays a very important role because, “you get what you give,” not the other way around.

- Join some online networking groups such as: Facebook and Linkedin.
If MySpace was a country, it would be the eighth largest!

Six degrees of separation (also referred to as the "Human Web") refers to the idea that, if a person is one step away from each person they know and two steps away from each person who is known by one of the people they know, then everyone is at most six steps away from any other person on Earth.

It’s all the power of word of mouth!

- Plant the seeds. If you keep planting seeds, you will see a larger harvest. When the
harvest comes, it continues to flow.

Always Be Closing is not What You Think

The magical combination of the efusjon energy drink club and Home Run Club is helping others embrace an opportunity to join a shared matrix compensation plan, that can change their lives and others around them, by simply putting those people's interests before theirs.

I thought this was fitting for all of us, because it isn't about selling...

Closing a sale is really about helping others make a decision, and closing is a process, not an event that occurs at the end of a sales presentation. Getting a prospect to verbalize (talk more) will result in more decisions. When people verbalize, they clarify their own thoughts, thus making mini decisions. Closing is as much about asking good questions and listening as it is about asking for the order. Closing is also about doing the sales process well, rather than just making a specific request for action.

“Life is not a matter of holding good cards, but sometimes, playing a poor hand well.” - Jack London

Question of the week: “How do you know when the right time is to ask your final closing question?”

Dream Big

Live the life you've imagined. Don't allow fear to paralyze you or kill your dreams. Confront your fears head on. That's the only way to make them go away. When fear is absent you can change your channel to a higher frequency. Change takes courage, vision and commitment to work on new goals. Committed action based on your new goals will allow you to go for your dreams and accomplish them. Only you have the power to take action and keep moving forward.

ENTHUSIASM

When we passionately pay attention to what interest us, we can be enthusiastic about many things in our daily life. We can teach ourselves how to live exuberantly and be in the moment of now. Whatever excites you will increase your vitality. Enthusiastic people tend to be optimists and live longer more productive lives. A quote from my husband Ernie " SHOW SOME ENTHUSIASM"!

Efusjon Dawn

SPOTLIGHT INGREDIENTS
Quercetin, Caffeine

SPOTLIGHT FLAVOR
Citrus

SPOTLIGHT BENEFITS
Boosts endurance. Antioxidant rich. Fights against fatigue, depression ∧ anxiety.


You've heard it a million and one times... an apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well now we may know why this old adage is true. Introducing efusjon Dawn with Quercetin. Quercetin is a phytochemical that is part of the coloring found in the skins of apples, red grapes, cherries, and raspberries, and is also in red wines. Quercetin is a powerful source of antioxidants and is also a natural anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory. Efusjon Dawn helps to boost endurance, and is a good weapon against fatigue. The sustained effect of quercetin is due to its long half-life in the blood. According to studies, quercetin stays on the job three times longer than caffeine. A medium sized apple contains approximately 9mg of quercetin. An 8.4oz can of efusjon Dawn contains 250mg of quercetin which would be equivalent to eating approximately 27 medium sized apples! Looking for healthy, sustained energy? When morning breaks, greet it with a can of Dawn.

Tips in Helping Others:

There are Four Stages of Sales Proficiency:

I. Tellers
II. Sellers
III. Hunters
IV. Partners

I am sure many of us have played the Teller role. Where we just spew out everything we know about efusjon, and even more so, we don't ask questions, or even listen. We are just so excited to tell them everything about it, and then we wonder why they never join or why they avoid our calls. Sound familiar?

Then we move to the Seller role, where we try to push them into the opportunity by maybe speaking less and asking a couple questions, in which we feel we are making progress ourselves, but then we ask for the sale like a used car salesperson. We put pressure on them to give us answer and maybe we push too soon. After our one sided presentation, we say "ok sign on the dotted line". Well, people don't like to be sold, and again, we are only focused on ourselves, not them, so they avoid us.

After that, we are frustrated, so we move on to the Hunter role, where we figure we will just go out there and hunt them down, pin them down, and they will have to sign, because they are just crazy if they don't? We convince ourselves that it is up to us to make them do something, and yet we even expect them to stay engaged and perform, which is exactly the opposite of what happens. They have no accountability or desire to even entertain the idea, because their belief system isn't at our level.

As efusjon associates, our ultimate role falls under the Partner Stage. I say that because it involves seeing yourself owning the account (Intent), the product, or the person you want to help. Your (Focus) is on the customer and the competition of our product, which we know the competition is a market of unhealthy energy drinks, which don't hold a candle to what we represent. Our (Relationship) is long-term, in helping others and ourselves; it isn't going to happen overnight! We need to stay the course by surrounding ourselves with those we want to have in our community long term. Lastly, our overall (Value) is to share a strategic direction in helping others with what efusjon truly represents!
