The Day My Network Marketing Career Came Into Focus

[Vance Alford] — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 12:33:37 +0000

I have some exciting news to share with you, and I promise you'll relate to my short story. Please read on:

Imagine being noticed when you walk into a room - commanding attention and taking charge. You possess abundant energy. You radiate youth. Your mental clarity and alertness are evident.

You are on the road to financial freedom and living the life you always imagined. A life resulting from your laser focus . This focus has rewarded you with life's most abundant treasures.

Here's my story: Many years ago, I bought into a dream that I could have all the magical things for my family network marketing could offer: residual income and truly making a difference in people’s lives. Instead I found products that did not work as promised, companies that let me down, and people that showed no integrity.

Sound familiar?

I had, however, learned these important things:

To succeed, I had to find a product that I could really get behind. One that was not created on hype, was unique and possessed an uncanny timing in the market. A product with appeal strong enough to move a nation, then a planet. A product with not only mass appeal, but MASSIVE appeal. I had to discover a company that had a marketing program that was fair. I was tired of compensation plans that offered income to slackers, stackers and the owner's brother-in-law. I want my downline to dance at the conventions when the big checks are tossed out!

I learned that too often companies are started by distributors with no real, actual experience at running a successful marketing business. I watched them start and fall--start and fall. Or even worse, companies were started by people with some business experience, but no understanding of the needs of network marketers. (We're not a number; we're real people with homes and bills and children!)

On Sept. 1, 2009, the door was opened for me. I found it all!

Your basic energy drink is a sugar jolt and bad headache just waiting to happen. I learned that many people dislike these dangerous and extremely unhealthy concoctions. Not to mention those over-hyped concentrated fruit drinks from "rain forests" and "jungles" that become available at Wal Mart within months.

I have tried about every natural product you can imagine. When I found FocusUP, I knew this was the perfect product. The timing was optimal and the market positioning was powerful enough to redefine an entire market that was already growing at a pace of $5 Billion-a-year!.The results people are experiencing are amazing and real. Alzheimer's and ADD, meet your foe.

FocusUP is a product that is going to change everything!

FocusUP has taken energy drinks to the next level.

FocusUP is The World’s First, All-Natural “Think Drink”.

FocusUP is the sophisticated, preventative, health-care supplement for a fast, new generation!

A completely healthy energy drink that dramatically improves mental cognition? It may sound too good to be true, but FocusUP has accomplished this feat. For stressed executives trying to stay on top of their responsibilities, for time-pressed moms, for older people who want to stay active-in fact for anyone struggling to get through a sleepy afternoon at the office, FocusUP puts you at the top of your game.

FocusUP, is specifically designed for those who want more out of life. Naturally designed from plant extracts and natural compounds, the ingredients found in FocusUP have a long proven history for their effects on increasing mental energy and cognition. NO sugar, NO fake sweeteners-just clean energy and a sharp mind. When it comes to convenience, FocusUP is the perfect fit. No bulky heavy cans to carry with you. Simply slip the packet into your pocket or purse for “ultimate mental energy” any place, any time.

FocusUP gives you a massive opportunity for significant wealth generation because of its scientifically proven mood and brain benefits that are popular with virtually all age groups. To classify FocusUP as an energy drink totally misses the mark. It is the World's First Pure Energy Think Drink.

Then things went from great to fantastic! I found that the company behind FocusUP had everything I was looking for: integrity, leadership and vision. The company was carefully designed, based on experience and built to deliver the dream of real-residual-income! They understand that success in networking must be derived from: simple, effective and duplicatable concepts and tools.

Enter Xooma Worldwide.

Xooma Worldwide has:

1) Owners with integrity and a solid track record of success

2) Extensive real business experience

3) Put quality of the product and service first

4) A 14- year track record

5) Endorsements that other companies would pay millions for

In keeping with Xooma’s mission of, “Changing the Health of a Generation” FocusUP has

revolutionized the energy drink market with a comprehensive blend of clinically researched

nutrients that will boost energy and maintain mental alertness.

I can't wait to introduce you to the creator of FocusUP--you will be blown away with his

credentials and FDA recognition-- I guarantee it. ( Here's a sample of why I stand so

confident: He also created the #1 best-selling brain supplement for the last 9 years straight!) The buzz and culture that are being developed by this product and company is like nothing I

have experienced since I was first shown the concept of MLM in 1978.

You are finally on the edge of success in network marketing! I urge you to open the door and

take a peek-- make your dreams a reality. DO NOT GIVE UP on your dream of a successful,

exciting, and truly rewarding networking career.

Please allow me to share this opportunity with you as soon as possible. You will quickly

understand why this is truly the opportunity of a lifetime.

Truly Healthy Alternative to Energy Drinks Now Available!

[Vance Alford] — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 14:02:04 +0000

Amazing drink introduced Sept 1st, 2009 is in a category of it’s own.

Natural, yet with years of scientific research, it has impressive benefits and

is especially suited for the mind, alertness, and energy. If you have to have

the fizz, this is not for you. If you want to feel on top of your game, here's

your chance.

Enter... FocusUP.

The man who formulated FocusUP literally wrote the book on brain health

and this 'think-drink" far surpasses what is commonly known by most consumers.

Natural and with years of scientific research, FocusUP has impressive benefits

and is especially suited for the mind, alertness, and energy . It has a bit of

caffeine, due to the green tea extract, but it's the other ingredients that

make the big difference.

The American diet under-consumes specific nutrients that are vital to the brain.

Make a difference there, and it affects everything including mood, and in many

cases even weight as this beverage is sweetened with a natural herb, Stevia,

rather than sugar.

We became so impressed we became a rep for the product. We can guarantee

you won’t find anything like FocusUP anywhere. We were was able to obtain

FocusUP from Xooma Xcel (parent company) before it was officially launched,

and we became more amazed each day at the benefits.

The energy, mood, and alertness is unmistakably noticeable.

We feel sorry for the general public that is buying "junk" in the grocery store isles.

PS. I have to share at least one testimony with you.... here goes:

Brendon was diagnosed with PDD (NOS) at the age of 3.

Pervasive Development Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified (PDD - NOS) is one of the

pervasive development disorders and autism spectrum disorders.

Throughout his years at primary school he really struggled with speech and comprehension.

His mile stones where always at least a year and a half behind that of his peers. He had aid

assistance at school throughout his primary years.

Then along came Focus UP! and all that changed. He commenced drinking a glass of Focus UP!

every morning. He was now in Grade 6.

Since taking Focus UP! I have seen huge improvement in Brendon's schoolwork.

The hollow dots represent where he was at in the beginning of Grade six to end of the year.

The solid dots represent where he was currently at. As you can see, he has improved his personal

learning by nearly two years in 6 months.

He also struggled to write stories. When it came to homework time, he would always insist on me

sitting with him to tell him what to do. Today, he will sit independently and write one-page essays,

something I thought he would never do.

He is now currently in secondary school and doing extremely well, keeping up with the rest of his class.

Focus UP! has saved me thousands of dollars in school fees, as I was contemplating sending him to a

private school for children with learning problems, which would have set us back $10,000 per year.

I cannot recommend Focus UP! highly enough for children with learning disabilities!

I'm wrapped!!!

Wake Up with FOCUS Up from Xooma Xcel

Sharpen Your Memory—and Say Goodbye to "Cloudy Thinking"!

Cutting-"EDGE" Discovery!

Restore Brain Power Naturally.

Stop the Clock on Brain Aging.

Keep Your Memory Razor Sharp...

If you sometimes find yourself struggling to remember names or fond memories,

you're not alone. Scientific research reports an astonishing 76% of Americans suffer

from memory lapses and decreased alertness. In fact, some folks start to experience

memory problems as early as age 30!

Cloudy thinking and forgetfulness can be warning signs of a serious—yet highly avoidable

problem: low brain fuel!

As you age, the blood vessels in your brain can start to narrow. This means less oxygen

and nutrients reach brain cells to keep them charged and healthy.

What's more, the way your brain cells communicate also changes with time. Your body

produces less of the chemicals your brain uses to transmit messages.

Also, your network of nerve connections begins to lose density. The results? A

communication breakdown between brain cells that can cause memory lapses...

dull thinking... and overall mental fatigue.

When you lose brain power, all those precious memories you've made can start to fade.

That's because aging can change the way your brain stores information—making it harder

to recall stored data.

For example...

You may search madly for your eyeglasses—only to find them hanging from your neck!

Or when you try to recall the name of a new acquaintance—it stays on the tip of your

tongue—and you just can't get it out!

But don't worry—natural deterioration doesn't mean you're powerless to help stop

brain fog from clouding YOUR memory. You can give your brain the nourishment

it needs to stay sharp!

Discover FOCUS Up- a brain drink that can help wake up inactive cells—and help

you concentrate and think clearly.

The great news is you don't need a doctor's prescription for this natural nutrition!

The power to reclaim youthful memory and improve your health is in YOUR hands.

With a few simple steps—you can quickly help restore the strength and virility of your

youth for years to come!

Three shocking truths about memory loss that most doctors don’t know:

TRUTH NO. 1: You can slow down, even greatly improve age-related memory loss…

clear up brain fog… wake up "dead" brain cells… and boost your brain power with FOCUS Up.

Most doctors say there’s nothing you can do to save your memory as you age. And

conventional medicine offers little or nothing for ordinary forgetfulness, "senior moments"

or devastating mental declines.

They’re WRONG!

TRUTH NO. 2: New scientific evidence shows your brain does NOT have to get older and

fade away—it can get smarter no matter what your age!

The wonderful news is that dendrites (branches of the brain’s cells) continue to divide

and new neural pathways (which conduct chemical and electrical impulses) continue to

open up in your brain into your 90s—especially if you nourish your brain with an

astounding discovery like FOCUS Up.

TRUTH NO. 3: Research shows memory loss is much easier to slow down and prevent in

the earliest stages.

That’s right. The sooner you address memory loss, the better. You don’t want to wait

until it’s too late—not when there’s so much you can do, right now, to protect your brain

from age-related memory loss and actually undo the damage… all with FOCUS Up.

It’s no wonder that…

Age-related cognitive decline is well underway in otherwise healthy people by

age 50.

More than 50 percent of Americans over age 65 are likely to experience impaired

capacity to even recall simple names and—numbers.

A staggering 76 percent of Americans (starting as early as age 30) suffer

from "senior moments," including memory lapses and decreased alertness. Impairment

and deterioration of mental capacity is the 4th leading cause of death in those over 60!

FOCUS Up is the product that changes everyting!

Popular Energy Drinks Cause Tooth Erosion, Study Shows

[Vance Alford] — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:48:42 +0000

ScienceDaily— For more than 10 years, energy drinks in the United States have

been on the rise, promising consumers more "oomph" in their day. In fact, it is

estimated that the energy drink market will hit $10 billion by 2010. While that

may be great news for energy drink companies, it could mean a different story

for the oral health of consumers who sometimes daily rely on these drinks for

that extra boost.

Previous scientific research findings have helped to warn consumers that the

pH (potential of hydrogen) levels in beverages such as soda could lead to tooth

erosion, the breakdown of tooth structure caused by the effect of acid on the

teeth that leads to decay. The studies revealed that, whether diet or regular,

ice tea or root beer, the acidity level in popular beverages that consumers drink

every day contributes to the erosion of enamel.

However, in a recent study that appears in the November/December 2008

issue of General Dentistry, the Academy of General Dentistry's (AGD) clinical,

peer reviewed journal, the pH level of soft drinks isn't the only factor that causes

dental erosion. A beverage's "buffering capacity," or the ability to neutralize acid,

plays a significant role in the cause of dental erosion.

The study examined the acidity levels of five popular beverages on the market.

The results proved that popular "high energy" and sports drinks had the highest

mean buffering capacity, resulting in the strongest potential for erosion of enamel.

According to the study, the popularity of energy drinks is on the rise, especially

among adolescents and young adults. Their permanent teeth are more susceptible

to attack from the acids found in soft drinks, due to the porous quality of their

immature tooth enamel. As a result, there is high potential for erosion among

this age demographic to increase.

In fact, Raymond Martin, DDS, MAGD, AGD spokesperson, says he treats more

patients in their teens to 20s for tooth erosion. "They drink a great deal more sodas,

sports drinks, and energy drinks," he says. "The results, if not treated early and if

extensive, can lead to very severe dental issues that would require full mouth

rehabilitation to correct," says Dr. Martin.

Drink responsibly for your oral health:

Use a straw positioned at the back of the mouth so that the liquid avoids the teeth
Rinse the mouth with water after drinking acidic beverages
Limit the intake of sodas, sports drinks and energy drinks

On The EDGE of Recovery

[Vance Alford] — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 04:38:06 +0000

December 12/29

Since injuries forced me to quit Professional Wrestling in 2001, I have struggled with

depression and anxiety. However, 2008 has been extraordinarily difficult for me. My

father was very sick starting late ’07 and he passed away in March ’08. An unnerving

legal battle also ensued.

The stress of the loss of my Dad and the ongoing issues had me fall into a rut like

never before. I had no energy or motivation whatsoever. None. I let my advertising

business crumble and had to think hard to find a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Sad or grumpy all the time, I found it difficult to see friends as I didn’t want to bring them down.

My days consisted of dragging myself out of bed, drinking a ridiculous amount of diet cola

for my caffeine buzz and killing time. The rare times I had the desire to do things, I couldn’t

concentrate and I would screw up; which made it more depressing! My brain was a mess!

I drank so much of that pop I am embarrassed to say how much. To give a hint though, I

started my day with a two liter bottle in the morning. I have tremors in my left hand, likely

due to overdoing the caffeine for years. The diet pop gave me a jolt but it sure did nothing

to help my situation.

My Doctor gave me pills, which helped a bit. I finally got my butt moving and started

exercising again, which helped a bit more. I was doing better but I needed something

to get me over the edge and back into a proper mindset. Then my friend (Steven Hanks)

gave me three days worth of FOCUS Up by Xooma. All he said was “it’s an energy think drink,

give it a try”

I noticed something different from my first try. After three days I was sure this stuff was

doing good things for my brain. Consistent mood, happier, thinking clearly, motivation

to get out and do things; it felt like my mindset had taken a much needed turn- with a

little help. I quickly got on the phone, joined Xooma and made sure I had enough FOCUS Up

to get me through until I got my first shipment.

I have been on FOCUS Up for two weeks now and have cut my pop consumption in half already.

I plan to be pop free in the New Year.

I just started the X2O. After a decade in the wrestling ring, 1,100 pro matches and years

of drinking gallons of acidic pop, my body is in rough shape- inside and out. If X2O helps

my body the way Edge did wonders for my brain, LOOK OUT!!

I am absolutely sold on the FOCUS Up product and look forward to hearing

“Hey, what’s in your bottle?”

Thanks.
