Xango Radio Tonight, with Charlie Emmenecker
Hi Everybody,
Wow, Just got my recent blood test results and my doctor was happy and surprised!!!! I have been on Xango Juice for a little over 5 years and have better numbers now than in the last 15 years. I was introduced to Xango at 56 years old and I thought I was in pretty good health, all vital sign were normal except in the area of cholesterol. That changed with Xango. I am now 62 almost.
Here are the results. Good Cholesterol HDL 61 (almost double in 5 years) Cholesterol ratio 2.1 (very good), CRP (C-Reactive Protein which is the measurement of cardio- inflammation) 1.5, the normal scale is 1 to 3. many people are in double digits these days. Prostate PSA 0.24 (almost nothing!!) Blood Pressure which for years was 120ish over 80ish has been lowered to 110 ish to 70ish or less. We found out that my thyroid is low so I have begun to use an Iodine supplement, I was told I live in the goiter belt. My doc said “I am not surprised, since I have been on Xango juice the last 3 years I have seen the same results!) and he is 58.
Ok, so what does this mean? It means that when someone tells you that they are healthy and don’t need to use Xango give them this story. “it is not how long you live, it is how well you live long”.
I expect to have a couple of great guests on the call tonight to also share their stories.
Tonight we will talk business on letters of introduction and business expansion. What to say and how to say it and how to retrieve the information on the Xango Website.

Xango in the News - OpTree.com
Check out what OpTree has to say about the launch of Xango's Glimpse Skin Care Line. You can also read the original story on OpTree by clicking here.
As we broke the news back in July, in a mere three weeks from now, XanGo
(OpTree Profile) will officially launch its new Glimpse Skin Care line. The company, best known for its introduction of the mangosteen juice to the market, is now the first to create a skin care line produced from the tropic fruit. The new Glimpse Skin line with not only feature the benefits of the mangosteen fruit, but will also feature the proprietary technology of the BioActive X3 Complex, a revolutionary system that will help deliver the ingredients to the skin. The BioActive is an all natural, clean and toxin free complex that will naturally nourish the skin.
“Glimpse is a natural, strategic extension of our business, and we’re proud to take the lead again by creating the category for topical skin nutrition from the mangosteen fruit,” said XanGo Founder and Board Chairman/CEO Aaron Garrity. “What XanGo Juice brought to the world six years ago in terms of creating a category and introducing a ground floor business opportunity, Glimpse will offer for topical mangosteen nutrition. The difference is that six years later we are in 23 countries with a sophisticated infrastructure and one million independent distributors to support the launch of Glimpse.”
Glimpse will become available on November 7th throughout the United States and Canada. The product will be introduced to the remaining 21 countries where XanGo products are sold in the first half of 2008. The product can be purchased online or through independent distributors.

New Glimpse Story
Hi All..
Well Judy and I went to the Seattle Xango Corporate and training meeting with great excitement and anticipation to experience the sampling of Glimpse. Of course the meeting was huge with an all star lineup of guests. There was a buzz in the air that was exhilarating and contagious.
Here is my experience and testimony:
They pass out a sample of Glimpse at the end of the corporate meeting and right before lunch. I had two (2) small mosquito type size sores on my arm that itch ed terribly. The sores had been on my arm for about three (3) days. I also had a large reddish area about the size of a silver dollar.I gently rubbed Glimpse into the area and felt an immediate soothing calm to that region of my arm. Within a couple of minutes the itch went away. This was about 12:30 pm. That alone blew me away. I said to myself ..'could it be'...I went about the day very busily. Around 3 pm I notice my arm and the reddish area had completely disappeared. I was blown away for the second time. The bite type sores were disappearing. Around 8pm my friend and fellow distributor Jim Gilliland called. I started to share with him what was going on. We got excited.The long and short of the story is that I am writing this at 6: 45 am Sunday morning. I couldn't sleep. The bite marks and redness have completely disappeared.
My mind right now is racing faster than a speeding bullet with all the possibilities. Judy and I are mapping out today on how to build a huge Glimpse business. Xango has done it again. Wow!
More to follow....GoXango!!!
Harvey (and Judy) Hamm 20K and beyond...
PS.....Look for price release and ordering info on Glimpse mid-September.

MLM vs. Pyramid Schemes
It never fails. Sometimes you get to talking to someone about Multi-level Marketing and there it is.
The Question.
"Isn't that a pyramid scheme?" (Somewhere in your mind some dramatic music is playing.)
Well, try not to roll your eyes or give a sigh. I know it's tiring trying to explain to someone why your plan is not a pyramid scheme, but you also have to be careful not to insult the intelligence of the person asking The Question. (more dramatic music)
They have legitimate reasons to be fearful about pyramid schemes. Let's face it, there are a lot of great companies out there, and a lot of great people earning a living in MLM, but the world is also a place where some people try to take advantage of others when they see an opportunity. Just search the internet, and you will find many people saying things like, "I made $1,000 on my first day!", or "Make $100,000 a year watching paint dry!" or something to that effect.
Now, I am positive of 2 things.
1. Some of these claims are absolutely true. (Well, maybe not the paint drying thing.) There are people out there that will make $1,000 on their first day. It is not unheard of from legitimate MLM companies. And can you make $100,000 a year in MLM with no previous experience? Yes. It's a lofty goal, but it has been done, even by first-time MLM'ers. But, it doesn't mean that they didn't have to work to accomplish that task. Network marketing can pay off, but it does take work. And if you want to make it big in MLM, you will have to work your tail off, no doubt!
2. Some of these claims are definitely scams! These are the kind of criminals that give network marketing an unfair bad rap, and why we have laws against pyramid schemes. And if you get involved with these companies, you will definitely lose money!
So how do you tell the difference? With today's technology, the scam artists are finding some unique ways to disguise their pyramid schemes as MLM companies, but there are some core ideas that can distinguish one from another, and help you explain it to others.
Product
This one should be obvious, but sometimes isn't. Does the company have a product? Some pyramid schemes don't even have a product. The infamous chain letters of the 70's still rear their ugly heads today. You remember the ones. Send a dollar to the person on the top of the list, then add your name to the bottom, and send the list to ten of your friends, blah, blah, blah. Yep, still making it's rounds. Sure, they disguise it now. Call it their "cash gifting program", or the "everyone gets paid" initiative. It's all bunk!
OK, so your business has a product. Now we need to ask whether it is a legitimate product. What makes it legit? Mainly, it's whether you can sell it, by itself, without recruiting someone into your opportunity. Does it have value on it's own. In other words, retail sales! If your product is legitimate, you should be able to make a profit by selling it to anyone you choose. The next section will tell you why this is important.
Compensation Plan
The second way to show that your business is legitimate is through the compensation plan. Show the skeptic all of the different ways that you can get paid, because a sure-fire way to identify a fraud is if the only way to get paid is by recruiting more distributors.
Now, don't get me wrong. It is OK to make money by recruiting distributors, that just can't be the only way to get paid. Because what do you have once there are no more recruits? A tumbling house of cards.
I will use Xango as an example, since I am a distributor. They have 4 different ways to get paid.
Retail Sales - Simple enough. You can buy the products at wholesale, and sell them at retail. This creates a solid base of not only business-builders, but product users.
Power-Start - Other companies might call this something like quick-start or initial bonus, and it is a key component in helping people get off the ground with a short-term gain. This is the money that you make for new distributors. Xango pays 30% from initial orders of new distributors, and 15% on second-level distributors, if you meet requirements. Note that commissions are paid based on the orders of new distributors, and not on recruiting.
Unilevel Bonus - Again, other companies may call this something different, but in essence, this is your monthly paycheck based on the volume of sales within your organization i.e. your long-term pay. Every company has their own structure, but typically, it pays in levels based on how far you have moved up in ranks within the company. The more qualifications you earn, the more levels you get paid. Be sure to study your pay plan to make sure that there are no gaps, and that you are getting paid fairly. Xango, for instance, pays 50% commission on every case sold. If a company only pays 10% commissions on product sold, or has no long-term pay plan at all, it is probably a scam. Also, like I said, make sure that the long-term pay is based on sales volumes, and not just recruiting.
Global Bonus Pool - Xango also pays qualified reps an additional commission on the global sales of product. Other companies may or may not do this, but this is an additional way to legitimize the business.
Now here is where the skeptic always asks the dreaded Question #2. (Cue the weird music again.)
"Ahah!", they say, and then this gem: "The people at the top make more than the people at the bottom. Isn't that what a pyramid is?"
Please don't hurt the skeptic at this point, for not paying attention. It is not his fault. This is truly what some people think about network marketing. Simply explain to him that the people at the top earned what they have gotten. Of course they make more money! You can't expect to go directly to the top of an organization if you haven't done anything. It works the same as the rest of society. That brings me to my next litmus test.
Opportunity
Can you imagine what kind of answer you would get in a job interview if you said, "I don't want to work here unless I get paid as much as the owner."?
Or let's say you would like to play baseball, but you're not going to play unless you get a contract with the New York Yankees. Oh, and you demand to be the starting pitcher on opening day. Ridiculous, right?
Well some people actually think that if you aren't getting the same pay as the top earners in an MLM company, that it's a scam.
The question shouldn't be about how much you make to start, but on whether or not you have the same opportunity as everyone else, including the top earners. And in every legitimate network marketing company you most certainly do. But you have to earn it. Just like the gurus did.
Well, that is my opinion on the topic of MLM versus Pyramid Schemes. Be aware that this is my opinion, and you will find some that will agree with me and some will disagree with me. And the subject will probably be debated until the end of time. There are many more less-obvious reasons. I am not an expert on the laws of MLM. There are resources that give much more detail on exactly what legally constitutes a business to be declared a legitimate MLM.
Just know this. Yes, there plenty of great MLM companies to work for, but there are also pyramid schemes still out there, too, so if any of the bad practices mentioned here are a part of your company, the skeptic could be right!

Dr. Tom Barrett : Dare to Dream
Here is the most recent newsletter from Dr. Tom Barrett, Author of Dare to Dream and Work to Win. You can sign up for his newsletter at daretodream.net.
He oozed with joy, excitement, and confidence. Larry, who was praying for additional income, had just been asked to help the CEO of a large corporation. All Larry needed to do was raise $100,000 by getting people to attend a charitable golf tournament at five hundred bucks per player during the second week of August.
With his vast network of contacts, extraordinary people skills, and twelve weeks to pull it off, Larry was absolutely certain his success would come quickly and easily. In his mind, this was the ultimate slam dunk. And after succeeding in this event, others business opportunities with the CEO would follow, each with income streams that would immediately impact his life. Sweet success was just around the corner.
He was so confident that he instantly dismissed my suggestion that he had a steep hill to climb in twelve weeks. But reality settled in when he began calling people. He soon realized that just because he is highly respected by many people, that respect did not immediately translate into them saying, "Oh yes, let's meet for coffee. Tell me what you are hosting. How can I sign up?" He realized that people are not always easy to reach; they don't have the time or interest to meet; and even when he got a meeting with someone they were not instantly captivated at the invitation to play in a charity golf event. In short, he was reminded that you have to be tough to triumph.
Sound familiar? I have run smack into this truth countless times in my business life. If you are earnestly attempting to grow your own business, you too will encounter these moments. That's why every now and then we need to remind ourselves to reset our expectations. To help you do this, enjoy the lighthearted excerpts from Dare to Dream and Work to Win. I hope that these friendly reminders will put a smile on your face, peace in your heart, and determination in your will.
You Know Your Financial Expectations
Are In Need Of Adjustment If:
- You thought you could create wealth without hard work.
- You thought you could work your business on a part-time basis but immediately receive a full-time income.
- You thought most of your friends and family would immediately join you in your endeavor.
- You thought simple was the same thing as easy.
- You thought there would be no learning curve in your business.
- You thought you could treat your business like a minor hobby and have it pay you like a major business.
- You thought you could build a business and never leave your comfort zone.
- You thought you could grow a business and not have to grow as a person.
- You thought "no strain, no pain, no gain" only applied in weight rooms.
- You thought you don't need to be tough to triumph.
Allow me to put on my hat as a "shrink" and remind you:
- Frustration is the gap between what we expect and what we experience.
- Peace comes when we learn to embrace reality rather than fight it.
- Prosperity comes when we see what we want to achieve and keep moving towards our goals.
- Satisfaction comes when we savor the very success we were tempted to abandon in the moments when things were difficult.
Committed to your success (And your peace, prosperity, and satisfaction!)
