The Hottest MLM System Ever!

by Brian Bier  12/17/09

 I recently visited a website that had a picture of a man’s face scrunched up as if he was extremely stressed and confused.  Super-imposed on the picture were the words: Opportunities, Pitches, Products, Hype!  This seeming to present a negative image of hearing those words.

Underneath the picture was a short description of this “new wealth building formula” that was so unique that nobody else has done it before.  It promises “no prospecting, no rejection, no advertising, etc.”

I’ve been in the MLM industry a while now.  I have a pretty good idea about who the target market for this “new formula” is.  At one time in my career, I just might have been weak enough to take a look at it.  I mean come on, no prospecting…no advertising…no rejection…who wouldn’t want a system like that?

As I stated before, I’ve been in the MLM industry for a while now, and I would NOT want a system like that!

Let me paint a little picture for you…

You join an MLM company.  You have great products or services that others can benefit from. You have intentions of building a solid business that will produce a long-lasting residual income.

In order to start earning any income, your job now as an Independent Distributor of ACME, Inc. is to move product!  Plain and simple.  You are paid when product is moved through your organization.

No matter what company in this industry you are a part of, there will always be three ways, and only three ways, that product will be moved through your organization:

1. Retail your product or service
2. Gather wholesale customers
3. Enroll other distributors into your organization who purchase product to use or sell (hopefully you will also train, develop and support these new team members as well!)

Each company will have various commissions, bonus pools, fast pays, etc. in their compensation plans to break up how they pay for sales in your organization, but make no bones about it…what you just read are the only ways that you can earn an income from a “legal” network marketing company!  The sale of a product or service to an end user is what all the commissions and bonuses are paid from!

Now that we understand this point, how does that tie into the “Hottest MLM System Ever” that promises “no advertising?”

Well, as an Independent Distributor, you are the marketing arm of the company you have chosen to align yourself with.  You are the “advertising” for the company’s product or service. 

In the traditional marketing or retail world, when a company wants to sell a new product or increase sales of a current product, they need to get the word out to consumers who may be interested in purchasing their goods.

How do they do that?  Simple…they advertise!  The companies will spend untold amounts of money to get their product advertised in the marketplace in the hopes that their target market will see the ad and then subsequently purchase the product.

Advertising alone is a huge industry!  One could imagine the incredible amounts of money that is spent on advertising every day.

Network marketing companies do things a little different.  You know those untold amounts of advertising money spent by traditional companies?  Well, a network marketing company still spends that same money, in the form of commissions and bonuses, however, they don’t spend it until the consumer has already purchased the product!  They are the first to get paid!

I don’t know about you, but that just seems like a pretty logical thing to do!  After having worked in the corporate world for so many years, my parents started their own restaurants.  Isn’t that the dream of so many people?  Become your own boss, start a business and become rich!  Well, I learned from my parents that the business owner is the last person to get paid!  Now that just doesn’t make sense at all, does it?

If you invented a new product and you wanted to sell it, what do you think is the best route?

• Spend a whole bunch of money (if you have it) to tell people about your new product in the hopes that enough consumers will buy from you to recoup that money
• Or…have a representative (not an employee) sell your product for you, and after you have already been paid, then you pay the rep. a percentage of the profit from that sell

Option number two seems like the best choice, wouldn’t you agree?  That is how network marketing companies work.  You see, you are the advertising!  The same advertising dollars that the traditional company spends in hopes of getting a customer, the network marketing company spends after they have gotten a customer, to you, the “advertising arm”…in the form of commissions, bonus pools, etc.

All right, now that we understand all of this, we are clear that since we joined an MLM company, and we have intentions of building a solid business that will produce a long-lasting residual income, and we know that in order to earn this income that we must move product through our organization, and in order to move product through our organization we must…Advertise!

So, as an independent distributor of a network marketing company who must move product to get paid and must advertise in some fashion in order to move that product, why would I want a “new wealth building formula” that promises “no advertising?”  If I want to build an organization of others like me, then I’m pretty sure I don’t want to be using a system that promises “no prospecting!”

Remember those three ways that product can be moved through an organization? 

• Retail, Wholesale & Other distributors in your organization

Guess what?  To do any of those three things, so you can move product, so you can earn an income…you are going to have to advertise!  You are going to have to prospect!  You are going to encounter rejection!

What I teach my team members is a little different than what “The Hottest MLM System Ever!” promises.

When someone comes into my organization, I want them to be very aware that there will be Opportunity, Products and Pitches!  Remember those words that were supposed to invoke a negative response?

I assure them that they absolutely will encounter rejection.  They absolutely will be prospecting.  In order to get the word out about their product, the absolutely must advertise!

Of course, there will be plenty of training and support along the way and maybe we can teach them some different methods than they may be thinking of, you know something that they may be comfortable with.  We will advertise in ways that cost money and in ways that are free.  We will experience rejection and we will experience joy.  You see, our “wealth building formula” isn’t new…it has be tested and proven for over 50 years!  We move product, and we get paid!

Steven K Scott spoke about what MaxGXL actually does in your body for raising glutathione levels.  Enjoy!

• Your body will be able to store more and more of a premium, ready-to-use fuel known as muscle glycogen.
• You will strengthen, not weaken, your immune system.
• You will kick start the rebuilding of muscle tissue.

You can really give yourself a major advantage come race day if you’ll take the time to put some quality fuel into your body as soon as possible after all of your workouts.

If you’re at all serious about performing better in your racing and staying healthier, then take heed to this saying: When you’ve finished training, you’re still not finished with training! Here’s what I mean: You must attend as much to recovery as you do to active exercise if you expect to reap the benefits of hard training. In other words, how well you recover today will be a huge factor in how well you perform tomorrow. Exercise, done properly, creates enough stress on your muscles and cardiovascular system to instigate a rebuilding and strengthening program, but without causing big-time damage. Your body responds by adapting to the stress you placed upon it. Too much exercise at once leads to over-training syndrome. If you train within limits, but fail to supply your body with adequate fuel and nutrients, you get pretty much the same thing: over-use symptoms such as weakening, increased susceptibility to infections, and fatigue.

Recovery includes many factors, including rest, stretching, muscle stimulation, and sleep, but we will limit our present discussion to the nutritional aspects. This article will cover the four essential nutritional areas of recovery: rehydration, the two macronutrients (carbohydrates and protein), and micronutrients (primarily antioxidants).

Rehydration

Technically, of course, water has no nutrient value, but it’s essential for performance and recovery, and well worth a couple of paragraphs here. The normal course of recovery nutrition intake will meet most hydration needs, but it is possible for an athlete to suffer from chronic dehydration. In the article on hydration (Hydration – What You Need To Know) we caution against excess fluid intake, a more common problem than dehydration, especially among the mass of recreational and fitness athletes. Top-level competitors, however, tend to under-hydrate during races.

As a rule of thumb, you want to finish a workout with no more than about 2% body weight loss, and certainly no weight gain. Weight loss in excess of 2% signals performance decline. For example, if you go out at 160 lbs (approx 72.5 kg) and return several hours later at 156 lbs (just under 71 kg), you’re probably a bit dehydrated, but that would not be an unusual deficit after a hard workout or race. (Obviously, a steady, reliable scale is important here). At a pint per pound (roughly 475 ml per kilogram), four pounds (nearly two kilograms) lost means you need to drink at least a good half-gallon (64 ounces, or just under two liters) of fluids in the next few hours. That’s fairly easy, and much of the fluid intake will come in the normal course of nutritional replenishment anyway.

Carbohydrate replenishment – The sooner the better!

Now let’s consider carbohydrate replenishment, the most obvious nutritional issue caused by endurance exercise. When you know the mechanism of carbohydrate replenishment, you can very effectively dial in your energy recovery program, so let’s briefly review your energy use and restoration cycle.

When you begin a workout or race, the primary fuel your body uses for the first 60-90 minutes or so is known as muscle glycogen, a glucose polymer that contains tens of thousands of glucose units arranged in branched chains. As your stores of muscle glycogen become depleted, your body switches over to burning fat reserves along with carbohydrates and protein consumed during exercise. You’ve only got so much of this premium fuel, muscle glycogen, but its importance can’t be overstated. In fact, several studies have shown that the pre-exercise muscle glycogen level is the most important energy determinant for exercise performance. Needless to say, to have a good race or workout, you need to start with a full load of muscle-stored glycogen; athletes who have more of this readily available fuel in their bodies have a definite advantage. The good news is that you can substantially increase your glycogen storage capacity through the process of training and replenishing.

Here’s how your body does it: Along with insulin, which regulates blood sugar levels of ingested carbohydrates, an enzyme known as glycogen synthase converts carbohydrates from food into glycogen and stores it in muscle cells. This also drives the muscle repair and rebuilding process. However, to maximize the recovery process, you need to take advantage of glycogen synthase when it’s most active. Carbohydrate replenishment as soon as possible after exercise, when the body is most receptive to carbohydrate uptake, maximizes both glycogen synthesis and storage. To paraphrase the late Ed Burke, a well-known nutritional scientist, “The sooner you do it, the better.” Glycogen synthesis from carbohydrate intake takes place most rapidly the first hour after exercise, remains fairly active perhaps another hour, and then occurs at diminished levels for up to 4-6 hours longer. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin demonstrated that glycogen synthesis was highest when subjects were given carbohydrates immediately after exercise. Depletion followed immediately by carbohydrate intake yields the maximum glycogen re-supply.

Complex carbohydrates versus simple sugars

The one time where your body isn’t going to put up much of a fuss regarding complex carbohydrates versus simple sugars is right after a hard, glycogen-depleting workout. At this time your body is in such dire need of replenishment that it’ll accept just about anything. That said, complex carbohydrates still offer a distinct advantage over simple sugars, which is why we strongly recommend using them. Here’s why: Complex carbohydrates (such as the maltodextrin we use in Recoverite) and simple sugars (except fructose) have a high glycemic index (GI). This allows them to raise blood sugar levels and spike insulin rapidly, both desirable functions post-exercise. However, complex carbohydrates allow for a greater volume of calories to be absorbed compared to simple sugars. In other words, when you consume complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars after exercise, your body is able to absorb more calories for conversion to glycogen without the increased potential for stomach distress that commonly occurs with simple sugar fuels.

Additionally, most of us already over-consume simple sugars from our daily diets. Numerous studies clearly show that sugar consumption in America is outrageously high. A report from the Berkeley Wellness Letter stated that each American consumes about 133 pounds (60+ kg) of sugar annually & that’s over 1/3 pound sugar every day, 365 days a year! Excess sugar consumption is implicated in a number of health problems. If simple sugars don’t offer any specific post-workout benefits, then why use them?

Bottom line: Use only high glycemic complex carbohydrates (maltodextrins) to optimally replenish glycogen stores.

A less-fit athlete, or one who has not been refueling properly after exercise, has very limited muscle glycogen available, perhaps as little as 10-15 minutes worth.

Which would you rather have when the gun goes off, 15 minutes of on-board fuel or 90 minutes?

It should now be clear that by taking in ample amounts of carbohydrates immediately after training and continuing for the next few hours, you can get a head start on refueling your muscles after workouts. Additionally, consumption of carbohydrates will also tip the scales in the direction of protein synthesis instead of protein catabolism (breakdown). In other words, ample carbohydrates are essential in rebuilding muscle cells as well as restoring muscle glycogen. Studies suggest that the carbohydrate inflow gives the muscle cells the necessary fuel to begin the rebuilding process. Using the energy derived from carbohydrates, the muscles absorb amino acids from the bloodstream, helping initiate protein synthesis.

Carbohydrates also boost the production and release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin is an anabolic (tissue-building) hormone that has a profound positive impact on protein synthesis in muscles, and it also tends to suppress protein breakdown. A University of Texas study found plasma insulin values three to eight times higher post-workout for subjects ingesting carbohydrates versus placebo.

Bottom line: For replenishing glycogen stores and aiding in the rebuilding of muscle tissue, quick replenishment of carbohydrates is a must. As soon as possible after you finish your workout, ideally within the first 30 minutes, consume 30-60 grams of high quality complex carbohydrates.

Protein – Essential component for recovery

Carbohydrate intake promotes many aspects of post-exercise recovery, but it can’t do the job alone; you need protein as well. Protein in your post-workout fuel provides these benefits:

• Raw materials to rebuild stressed muscles – Whey protein is the premier protein source of the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs – leucine, isoleucine, valine) used for muscle tissue repair.
• Enhanced glycogen storage – Numerous studies have shown that the consumption of carbohydrates plus protein, versus carbohydrates alone, is a superior way to maximize post-exercise muscle glycogen synthesis.
• Immune system maintenance – We strongly recommend whey protein, with its high levels of amino acids that spur glutathione production (see below).

Whey is the superior protein source for recovery

Of all the protein sources available, whey protein is considered the ideal protein for recovery, primarily due to its high Biological Value (BV) rating. The BV is an accurate indicator of biological activity of protein, a scale used to determine the percentage of a given nutrient that the body utilizes. In other words, BV refers to how well and how quickly your body can actually use the protein that you consume.

Of all protein sources, whey has the highest BV, with whey protein isolate (the purest form of whey protein) having an outstanding rating of 154, and whey protein concentrate having a 104 rating. Egg protein also has an outstanding BV, with whole eggs rating 100 and egg whites (albumin) rated at 88. With a 49 rating, soy protein ranks far below whey protein, making it a less desirable choice for recovery. (When the BV system was introduced, eggs had the highest known BV and thus were given a value of 100. Whey proteins came to researchers’ attention later, and they rang up even higher scores. The 154 BV of whey protein isolate and the 104 BV of whey concentrate are in comparison with the original BV benchmark, whole eggs.)

Other standards that evaluate protein quality/effect also show whey to be a superb protein source. One of these methods, the Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), while it admittedly has limited applications for humans (PER measures the weight gain of experimental growing rats when being fed the test protein), still shows that whey protein ranks the highest, with a rating of 3.6 (soy protein has a rating of 2.1).

Another protein measurement is the Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS). Nutritionists who disqualify the PER method for classifying protein quality (because it only references the amino acid requirements for lab rats) often will use the PDCAAS method for evaluating human protein requirements. According to this method, which utilizes an amino acid requirement profile derived from human subjects, an ideal protein is one that meets all of the essential amino acid requirements of humans. An ideal protein receives a rating of 1.0. Three protein sources – whey, soy, and egg – all have a 1.0 PDCAAS ranking.

One very important point about whey protein: for a supplement, make sure you use whey protein isolate, not whey protein concentrate. Whey protein isolate is virtually lactose and fat free; many lactose-intolerant people can still use whey protein isolate because it contains only a minuscule amount of lactose. Also, whey isolate checks in at a sturdy 90-97+% protein, whereas whey concentrate contains only 70-80% protein. Simply put, whey protein isolate is a purer protein, and the best protein you can put into your body after a hard workout.

Hammer Whey and the whey protein used in Recoverite is a pure un-denatured whey protein isolate of the highest quality. It is 97.7% pure, and virtually fat-free (0.5 g fat/100g), and carbohydrate-free (0.5 g lactose/100g). The whey protein isolate in Hammer Whey and Recoverite delivers rich immune-enhancing beta-lactoalbumins and alpha-lactalbumins. Hammer Whey has a unique profile of highly bioavailable protein with immune factors, potent branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), lactoferrin, and immunoglobulins. Independent laboratory tests show the PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) for the whey protein isolate in Hammer Whey and Recoverite is a whopping 1.14, a score that exceeds all of those reported for egg, milk, caseinates, and soy protein.

Glutathione: The key to optimal immune system support & recovery

Glutathione is a tripeptide consisting of the amino acids glutamic acid, cysteine, and glycine. It is one of the three endogenous (naturally occurring in the body) antioxidants, the other two being catalase and superoxide dismutase. Many researchers rate glutathione as the number one antioxidant. Ward Dean, MD, a leading nutritional scientist, in his brilliant article “Glutathione: Life-Extending Master Antioxidant, addresses the importance of glutathione, stating that Glutathione is present in nearly all living cells, and without it they can’t survive& glutathione has major effects on health at the molecular, cellular and organ levels.

One of the most important steps we can take to improve our recovery is to enhance/optimize body levels of this important antioxidant, and one of the best ways to do that is by consuming whey protein. Whey protein contains excellent levels of all three of the amino acids that comprise glutathione, as well as high levels of the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. The two sulfur-containing amino acids (cysteine being the other) are particularly important for proper immune system function and the body’s production of glutathione. In addition, the amino acid glutamine has also been shown to help raise glutathione levels (both Hammer Nutrition whey protein products, Hammer Whey and Recoverite, contain high amounts of glutamine).

Bottom line: Adequate glutathione in the body will enhance your recovery and support optimal health.

Original Post Below…

This is my story of how MaxGXL changed my life…and now about 1 1/2 years later, how MaxOne powered by Riboceine along with MaxGXL continues to drive me every day to help people change their lives for the better!

Since my post a few days ago regarding a founding distributor leaving Yoli, I’ve received many responses all asking the same two things: Who and Why?

…Time for an update…and to answer some questions!

So who is leaving? Me

Why would you leave such a successful launch? Read on…

All of the statements I made about Yoli in the post a few days ago are my honest opinions.  I think that Yoli’s product is a great alternative to a lot of beverages out there in the marketplace today…MLM or otherwise!  My kids love it and I feel better about them drinking Yoli vs. them drinking beverages filled with sugar!  I will continue to order Yoli’s products and really look forward to future formulations.

Am I passionate about Yoli?  Unfortunately…no.

Allow me to tell you how I got to where we are today with Yoli and where we have moved to…

As I stated in a previous post, I had knowledge of Yoli a little over a year ago.  I have been working with Len Clements for almost 10 years…through the thick and thin!

I had been loyal to Len in Longevity Network, and when Len took the plunge to start his own company, I was fortunate to be a big part in that endeavor.  I can’t tell you how much time and effort was put into the planning phases, pre-launch, launching, meetings and the ultimate downfall to the company.  I won’t go into why the company failed, however, I can share with you that after Epic, the wind was taken out of my sails.

Being loyal, Len flew me out to Vegas to meet with two company owners of another company.  To summarize…great products, great vision but not so great execution!  Looking back, I know I was not committed 100% to that company…you see, the wind was just not strong enough and I was also a little apprehensive after the experience with Epic!

Well, of course, that company too had some challenges and this time, the wind just died!  Again, I still didn’t hate the industry…I just wasn’t really excited by what was out there!  I guess I had learned too much from Len and loved some of the aspects from previous companies that no other company out there offered!  There just wasn’t anything that I really was passionate about.

A little more time goes on, and I join USANA with Len.  I wasn’t excited…I wasn’t passionate…I liked the products, but they didn’t really change my life.  I guess I just settled!  You see, I love this industry.  I love to work with and help others!  I belong in this industry!

Unfortunately, the passion just still was not there.

Even as we join USANA, Len tells me that a few other things are on the horizon for us that may or may not pan out.  If they don’t, then we are a part of a solid company with solid products.  If they do pan out…then we just inform our groups of our decision to move elsewhere and the reasons why.  So, how passionate do you think I was during that time?!

Well, around last October’ish time-frame, Len informs me that one of the possibilities will be becoming a reality.  At this time, I still don’t know exactly what it is but I trusted Len when he assured me that this would be something we could get passionate about!

Over the next year, I start building towards the launch of Yoli!  The wind picked up…we hoisted our sails and I got excited again.  You see, my wife had been laid of from work and what better timing for us to get excited again!  She was home…she was excited…I was excited…we just couldn’t wait for Yoli to launch.

Was there a small amount of reservations left in me?  I suppose you could say that…however, those reservations slowly began to wain as we learned more about Yoli.  When we got samples, that sealed it!  We loved the taste, the kids loved the taste and we were now committed!  Our pre-launch team was growing and every day was getting closer to the launch…nothing could stop us now!

Well…almost nothing!

In June of this year, I changed locations at work.  Now, I’ll say this…I love what I do!  I have a great job, great boss, solid company and changing locations was going to be for about 6 months…and it was great for my development (I just got promoted this past Friday!!!).

So what does this have to do with this story?  Well, it really is just a time-marker.  You see, a few months later I slowly started into a downward spiral that I didn’t see coming at all.  I can’t explain it…I don’t know what brought it on!  I had been fairly healthy…exercising, eating well and of course I’ve been taking some fantastic products from various MLM companies for years.  Not to mention that we were excited about our budding Yoli business!

For whatever reason, I was not sleeping well…I had virtually NO energy…I was irritable at home — and worst of all, I had lost my “umph” that I have had my entire life.  I just had no zest…no desire…no passion – and I couldn’t explain it and that just made it worse and worse.

I guess it is about mid-August now…aside from my slow demise, work is going well and I’m gearing up for my panel at the end of the month to show the senior mgrs of the company that I am capable of the promotion that I am seeking.  You see, my job does require a certain amount of critical thinking, multi-tasking and concentration…all the while still having a high level of energy for the physical demands.  Well, my panels go well and I’ve got my things to work on.

Here is where I really start getting concerned…

Physically, I’m getting worse.  I have to stop at the service station before work to buy 2 Monster Energy drinks just to make it to lunch-time (at this time, I’m really looking forward to Yoli and it’s products!).  I have to get 2 more Monsters at lunch-time to get through the rest of the day.  I can’t focus, I’m exhausted and I’m really feeling “lost.”  I’m concerned that something in seriously wrong with me and it is affecting not only my job, but my home life as well!

I struggle to stay awake driving on some days.  I have no energy to play with the kids.  I have no desire to do anything at all!  I began to wonder if I was clinically depressed or if I had chronic fatigue or something.  To put it mildly…I was scared!

So…I’m at an auction one day with a co-worker and we are chatting with Christy (the lovely woman who takes care of us at this auction).  Completely out of the blue, she starts ranting and raving about this product that Jason (an acquaintance of ours) gives her to take.  She was so happy about how good she felt and had been sleeping well and the energy she had that she was just beaming!  I asked here what it was and she said she had no idea, but she was buying it!  She found a website about it and I wrote it down and planned on checking it out when I got home.

When I got home, I checked out the site and it turns out that it is an MLM company.  Well, we are committed to Yoli at this time so, I quickly dismiss it and don’t really look into it that much…

…but…Christy’s testimonial just kept eating at me!

I kept thinking to myself, Wow!  Imagine that…network marketing working the way it is intended…a product that changed someone’s life in such a positive way that she just starts raving about it!

Over the next week, I research it a little here and there…and I start getting interested in trying the product.  Maybe it can help me the way it helped Christy!  The next week at the auction, I find Jason and ask him about it.  I tell him up front that I am only interested in the product as my wife and I have a new company coming up that we have been building with and have committed to.  He tells me what the product did for his wife and how it helped her and that is why he got involved.

Well, I tell him that I’ll research a little more and probably order from his site soon.  Another week or so goes by and the more I learn about this product…the more I’m in a difficult situation.  You see, the sails were set…the wind was blowing with Yoli and I’m now learning more and more about this product that seems just too good to be true!  My conscience is slowly eating at me…I’m committed to Yoli…we’ve got a good group going…and Yoli has some great potential!

I try to forget about this other product and just focus on Yoli…yea, I want to see if it will help me the way it helped Christy, but I’m terrified that it will work and I’ll be torn between two companies.

I’m on my way home from work one day and I catch the tail-end of a radio ad about Steven K. Scott and a home-based business.  Well, out of curiosity, I call the number to see who in the area is running a radio co-op and what company it is.

When I get home I get a call from Rodney.  Rodney tells me that he is calling to follow up with me requesting info from the radio ad.  I tell him right away that I was just curious as to what company was doing a radio ad and he tells me that he is working with Max International.  I say, oh, that glutathione company right?  Needless to say, this is the company that I have been looking at to try this product!

Well, we chat for a while and he offers to give me some product to try.  We agree to meet for lunch the next day.  He gives me a week’s worth of product, a DVD, an audio CD and some literature.  I tell him again that I am only interested in the product and that I am focused on building another company.

On the way home, as I listen to the audio CD, I keep thinking about Rodney and how green he is in this industry.  He has a construction background and got involved with this company a little over a year ago and has had some pretty darn good success.  I also think that he is going to go broke giving all this stuff out to people who only want to be a customer!  Although…what is interesting is that this product made such a positive change for Rodney that he believes in it without fail!

In any case…I’m anxious to try this product…and I’m also subconsciously looking for a reason for this product to NOT work for me!  Remember my conscience?  I’ve got Yoli and I can’t have this product working for me!

So, I’m taking this product for a week and I have also searched on eBay to see if I could find some former distributors dumping all their product for cheap.  Well I end up buying a couple boxes (turns out that nobody is dumping product…they are selling it because they know that the customer will fall in love with it, but that’s another story…).  The extra boxes I got are going to arrive right as my week supply is up and I plan on “testing” it on family and friends.

So, the week is almost up and I’m not sure what I’m going to say to Rodney about it not working — my conscience still wants this product to not work so I can feel good about focusing on Yoli.  Well, a few days before I’m out, I get sick — like Flu sick!  I’m excited…not because I’m sick, but because that is my excuse.  I can tell Rodney that this crap made me sick and I can close the door on it forever and never look back!  During this same week, my 8 year-old son tests positive for the darn swine-flu!  So, maybe my sickness was the pig flu…I’ll never know.

Well, after an auction right near the end of this week, I’m on the golf course and Rodney sends me a text: “Are you taking your Max?  How’s it working?”  Here is my chance…I call him and tell him about my son and about how sick I just was and this stuff is junk!

Low and behold, Rodney insists that he get me another week and that I should take MORE to help get through the sickness!  Dang…this guy is persistent…I had my out, but why did I not take it?

I guess I had not even realized it, but that week on that product (aside from the sick day), I started to feel better.  I wasn’t drinking as many Monsters…but I didn’t really realize it because I still wasn’t “all better.”

So, I guess my sub-conscience answered for me and I agree to another week.  Plus…I have the other boxes about to arrive and I can double the amount to power through the end of the sickness!

I guess it was about the 8th day or so…not exactly sure what day…but I remember waking up to go to work – BEFORE my alarm went off!  Not only that, I sat up in bed and was astonished at the night of sleep I had just gotten.  I mean I SLEPT! Like a baby…like a log…I had dreams…I was literally amazed at how I felt!

I drove to work and felt “alive!”  I mean…I just felt fantastic!  Not like bouncy or anything, just felt that everything was “working” – like I was in tune with my body and realized that everything was just right.  Right in to work with no stop for the Monsters!  The focus I had during that day was beyond amazing.  I was no longer struggling to find the words to complete my sentences…I was using “big” words so fluently that I impressed even myself…I could multi-task and pay attention to so many things at once.

On the way home, I wasn’t struggling to stay awake.  I had energy when I got home to interact with my family!

The next day was more of the same and the next day and the next.  What still got me was the sleeping.  I don’t know if I can accurately depict on this blog what I mean, but believe me when I say, I SLEPT! Just that alone still amazes me…not to mention my body just functioning correctly!  I’m back!

So…now to “test” my family and friends.  So those of you in the “NFL” club know how uncomfortable it is to go to all of your family to give them another product to try.  Especially me since I’ve been working on Yoli for almost a year now!  I mean dang, what kind of credibility does that show?!

Here is what I did…I gave a week supply to 4 different people: Mom, Step-dad (Steve), Mom-In-Law (Linda) and Father-In-Law (Mike) ***Jill (my lovely wife) is now taking the product as well but I can’t do the same test as she already has seen what this stuff is and can do***

I tell my test subjects: Take this stuff for a week.  I didn’t tell them what it was…I didn’t tell them what it might do…I didn’t tell them to expect anything…I just said take it for the week and let me know if you notice anything at all, or if you experience nothing!  I said that I know what it did for me and Jill and I need to make a serious decision between this product and Yoli.

In all my years in MLM, I’ve never experienced what happened next.  With the exception of Mom, within the week, all of them wanted more…and I didn’t even have to ask!

Steve told me that he just felt like he had so much “vitality” throughout the day (his word…not mine!)

Linda can sleep at night and her arthritis pain was virtually gone!

Mike has never had trouble sleeping, but always woke up stiff as a board and really struggled to get his day going…he now jumps out of bed and is as fluid as water!

Mom took a little time…she has been taking anti-depressants (for help in dealing with the loss of a loved one and the final days of another) and she knows that she doesn’t want to keep taking them…especially with me hounding her to get away from drugs like that, but I understand the situation.  Well, she doesn’t want to give them up because when she started taking them, she started sleeping…the same way that I had experienced and that she was afraid of losing that feeling!  I kept pushing and guess what…she slowly stopped taking the drugs and she still sleeps every night like a baby!

Now, she didn’t notice this other thing, but I sure as heck did…you know those “senior moments?”  Well, I LOVE talking with my mom…what can I say…I’m a Mommy’s boy!  Lately though, it has been just frustrating!  She could not complete a sentence…she couldn’t find the right words and she kept insisting that she was getting Alzheimer’s!  You know what…those “senior moments” that Mom has…are now gone.  I can have a conversation with her without having to talk for both of us!

Test subjects completed.  My personal testing completed.  Jill’s testing completed!  Decision made!

So why did a Founding Distributor with Yoli leave?

Quite simply…the MaxGXL product changed my life!  It worked so well for me and my family that we made what turned out to be a very easy decision to align ourselves with this company to make this product available to others like us!  I am compelled to tell everyone and the passion is back!  The sails are full!

***Update – January 2012***

I want to ensure that everyone reading this is informed that after almost 2 years of exclusively building with Max International, I have since added Yoli’s products as gaining my full support as well!  As a normal guy who aspires to be a great athlete, the Max products are still products that I use as the results are great in recovery and support of my athletic endeavors.  I have since found the exact same formulation of the MaxGXL product for only $39.95 (roughly half the price!!!) which you can order by Clicking Here!

Yoli has introduced new products, including the Better Body System.  Some of these products also help the body to produce glutathione and the whole system is a product system that as a Father, athlete and regular guy…I can stand behind 100% and build with a very solid company!

I’ve chose to leave this information here for those interested in learning more.  If you have any questions, feel free to Email Me!-

I’ve been in the Network Marketing/MLM industry for many years now.  I’ve been a part of the full gamut of companies: pre-launch, launch then fail, launch then successful, established companies.  The knowledge and experience I have gained over the years from all of those experiences have been invaluable.  One of the key things I have learned is this…the grass is not always greener on the other side!

I first spoke to Len Clements late in 2001.  I had been home from the Marine Corps for almost two years and wanted to seriously get back into the MLM arena as I had dabbled with Herbalife, Excel and the Colloidal Minerals company (remember the Dead Doctor’s Don’t Lie cassette tape?) in the mid 90s.

Backtrack to early 2000, when my wife and I came home from the Corps, Dad was very sick with a heart disease and I stepped in to help run one of the family sadwich shops.  A year later and I’m opening our third restaurant and welcoming our son into the world at the same time!  A few months later, I’m having a conversation with my father that I just can’t do this anymore — I can tell you that was a tough one!

One of my best friends, Robby, calls me up one day and I hear the classic lines…Jayson and I just got involved in this new company and I want you to check it out!  I was receptive (imagine that) and went to a meeting.  Was this what I was looking for?  Sort of…I joined…we had some success…I was beginning to really get a group going…I started researching and learning this industry.

The more I learned, the more I grew concerned about the company I was a part of.  Turns out things were not so legal in what we were doing…classic pyramid…I was duped, but learned some valuable lessons!  In this case, the grass was green for a while, and then turned to poo!

The moderate success I achieved in this company and the more I learned really sparked my desire for this industry…

…back to late 2001 and I’m having a conversation with Len Clements of www.marketwaveinc.com

After plenty of research, I join Len in Longevity Network…which begins many years of learning about this industry!  Here is a great article that Len wrote in 1996 that is still very true today:

Win The Race – By Staying in One Place!

One of the saddest things I see happening in this industry is the huge number of folks who wander aimlessly through this ever widening sea of network marketing opportunities. These are people who indeed find an island oasis from time to time, only to jump right pack into the cold, rough surf in search for a “better” paradise. As I watch them swim away, I know their fate. Another island, another return to the sea. Then finally, with no strength left to swim another stroke, their hopes and dreams for a better, more secure life through network marketing sinks to the ocean floor. But alas, there is no floor, for it has been covered, layer upon layer, by the drowned hopes and dreams of so many others before them.

Or, we can liken these people to a marathon participant who runs the first of a 20 mile race, then sprints back to the starting line — over and over and over. Then stands confused and frustrated by his lack of progress (and, most likely, blaming the course, his shoes, the race promoters, the weather…).

You see, building a network marketing organization takes time. It takes patience. But what few distributors (in any opportunity) seem to realize is that it gets easier, it happens faster, as time goes on. But so few MLM distributors stick around long enough to see this happen. Think about it for a moment. You start out with one person building your organization — you! Then you sign up a couple friends. Now you have three people all working to build your organization. In a month or two you might have only twelve people in your downline. But that’s twelve people who could all contribute to your downline. The more your group builds, the more people there are to help build it even bigger.

This phenomenon, called geometric progression or “momentum,” does exist, and it can occur within your own personal downline much like it does for a company. After all, aren’t all the distributors in a company part of one really big downline? Your downline can go into momentum too, on a smaller scale of course. However, depending on your activity, the opportunity you’re involved in, and at least a little luck, this onset of your own mini-momentum might take three months, five months, perhaps a year. As long as you’re recruiting at least one new distributors every month or two, it is mathematically inevitable that your organizational growth will begin to accelerate on it’s own.

So let’s say, for the sake of example, that momentum would strike around the sixth month. How many people in this industry do you think are long gone from their opportunity before they even approach that sixth month? After all, they’re not rich yet, and the promises of all those other opportunities are just so enticing, aren’t they? Well, the answer is thousands. Thousands!

And how many hopes and dreams lie at the bottom of the MLM ocean? That’s right — thousands. It’s no coincidence.

The ocean’s cold. There’s sharks out there. Find a nice warm island, make it your home, and see what you can build on it.

Now, with all of the experiences I’ve had, the knowledge I’ve gained and the mentor that I’ve worked with for almost 10 years…why on earth would a founding distributor with Yoli (a company that is due to be a giant in the MLM industry) who has been building his Yoli organization for over a year (I was among the few who knew of Yoli from the VERY start)…decide to graze in a different pasture?

Maybe there is a different type of grass…

What is going on here?

Let’s start with this:
