Margaret Kerdock, "A Beginner's Perspective"

"A Beginner's Perspective"

My name is Margaret Kerdock and I live in Scottsdale, Arizona and I am a professional graphic designer of 15 years. One afternoon at the end of July, my best friend JoAnn (who was visiting from NH) and I had just come in from a day of sun and fun out by the pool. My mom had come to us and asked if we would try these efusjon drinks. She must have known we were thirsty because she brought over some ice cold efusjon raw. She caught us at a "prime" time being outside in this Arizona heat. Well played, I might add :-) I kind of looked at her and shrugged, initially reluctant to try it because of my thoughts on energy drinks in general. My friend JoAnn willingly said, "Lets crack one open, we can share it if we don't like it". To my suprise, our eyes lit up and we both said, "Wow this is really good!" and got my own can....I wanted one for myself!


Well, I think once she saw our reaction and got the "green light" she then was in a "strike while the iron is hot" mode. Although I was admittedly reluctant at the possibility of becoming involved myself, her excitement surrounding the product and business was obvious. After all she is my mom...so I thought, well I can at least give her the respect of listening before I completely shut her down. After all I have a duty as her daughter, to listen even if you don't want to hear what she has to say. As she began to explain the details of efusjon, I respected her passion on the topic but took the information being handed to me with a grain of salt. My initial skepticism toward joining the company was not specific to efusjon but because I did not really have the information I needed. I was interested enough to where I agreed to attend an efusjon meeting with her and meet everyone that was on her "team". I have to admit, I also agreed to go because there are a couple of people already involved in efusjon that I truly respect as business minded individuals who are very accomplished in the network marketing industry. I know that if they are excited about something as well, that I may as well see what this is all about.


My friend JoAnn and I walked in to a very welcoming bunch of people. Smiling faces, efusjon drinks set out on the counter, we even had our own efusjon bartender offering champagne and orange juice to add to these wonderful acai berry drinks. How lucky were we? And then I thought, are you giving me alcohol with my efusjon to catch me at a vulnerable state? Ah, but I kid! No, in all seriousness, you could sense the excitement in the room about this, and still, at this point I had no idea what efusjon was really all about.


There was some chatter about the business among the already enrolled and as I sat there and listened I found myself even more intrigued. I enjoy people who are passionate about things that are important to them. So to share that enthusiasm with them was what I had in my mind to do. As time went on, we all talked, laughed and were having a great time. We sat down to watch the Efusjon Boom video. From beginning to end, when the opportunity was explained, i found myself becoming very excited about the information being relayed to me. The video ended and I thought, a healthy alternative to energy drinks, and soda or coffee. I used to have very unhealthy eating and drinking habits. Over the past year I worked very hard to get back in shape and live a healthier life. So for me, putting something into my body that is good for me and can give me all of this nutritional value... Why not?! Efusjon just seemed to fit right into my lifestyle the second I learned about it. I then thought to myself, Do you know what this means? I can drink something that is healthy for me, I can help others become healthier AND make make money at the same time. That was all I needed to know. I signed up as soon as I got up from my chair and my friend JoAnn signed up the very next day under me.


I admit, I was a tad confused about this Matrix they had been talking about in the compensation plan. I thought the only Matrix I knew about was in the movie theatre a while back with Keanu Reeves! But seriously, at that moment I didn't need to hear anything else. Do you know when you have a gut feeling and are immediately excited about something but don't fully know why? Well, we just went with it and felt really good about it. Not one time did I feel, did I make the wrong decision and I am sure that JoAnn agrees. Now here I am a couple of months later, with an extraordinary team. A few of them being my sister, my mother and my best friend from NH. How lucky am I to be sharing this excitement with the people that I love so much, my team members who have been so supportive and everyone else out there in the efusjon village?! My journey with efusjon, although a short time has changed me in many ways.


People who are around me or know me the most, have been repeatedly saying, what happened to Margaret? You are determined, you are focused, you are so excited and happy. I am constantly walking around with a smile on my face. And people know that when I am excited about something I am passionate about, I go full force. And that has not happened to me in a very long time. I am so grateful for efusjon and it coming into my path when it did. Like I have said, I have only been in this for a couple of months. I already have my three and will continue helping others get their three. Efusjon has given myself and many others an opportunity to succeed in ways that you never thought it could. It is a stepping stone to so many great phases in your life, financially and personally. I am usually up late at night thinking about efusjon, and not because I am worried about where my future with efusjon will go. But because I am so excited to be a part of this company that I can barely stand it. The support, the fellow members, the comp plan, and everything that is efusjon. This is a chance for everybody to make their dreams come true and I truly know that efusjon and the people behind it will make that happen. What I have done and will continue to do...


Do everything you can to keep your efusjon family excited about what has happened and what is in store for us in the future. Let them know that you are there for them, no matter who/where they are. Lending an ear, a visit, a phone call to someone who needs guidance, or who needs to be reminded what this business is about and why it's so exciting. Everyone is in this together and that is what I love about this company. Family & friends are extremely important to me and I hold those values very close to my heart. When you have family and friends in your life who you value/love so much, life is pretty damn good as it is. But to add the efusjon family into my life is truly as blessing as well. I can't tell you how many people I have met through efusjon on Facebook who don't know me from a stranger on the street. All they know is that I am excited about efusjon with them, and they welcome you with "virtual" open arms. Each one of them has affected me in some way and left a smile on my face at one point or another. That is what family is about and I am truly proud to be a part of this efusjon family.


I look forward to the next year and many years to come with efusjon. I truly hope that everyone out there, who is not involved with efusjon will have the chance to have this opportunity presented to them. How amazing is it to be in the position to help others achieve their goals/dreams, to benefit from a company that is there for you all the way, to be able to stand behind your products, to be excited about it AND make a substantial income at the same? It truly is the easiest decision you can make in your life. The only excuse you have to not succeed is that you do not want to succeed. And who in their right mind can honestly say that? If you join efusjon, and you become apart of the efusjon family you will make money, you will meet fantastic people and you will have more fun than you can ever imagine.


What we have is the right product, the right people... and the time is NOW! --

Saba Sweiss' "What Efusjon Is To Me"

"What Efusjon is to me…"

Efusjon, thus far, has been an enlightening and beneficial experience. My positive view of this Club derives not only from the monetary reward that hard work and supporting one another creates, but also the array of people it has brought to my path. The valuable individuals in various professions have given me avenues of growth and understanding that I previously did not have access to. Efusjon has offered so much reward, that I consider it the stepping stone AND the destination. I am a strong believer that you get out of things, what you put into them. If you work and spread the word about efusjon, you will thrive with this company.

Have you ever closed your eyes and imagined having what you have always desired? Picture it…the cars, the house, the clothes, the “toys”, etc. Now imagine the conventional way of obtaining those luxuries…the hours, the labor, the bosses, the restraint, the rules, etc. You would have to live through these painful aspects on a daily basis and even then, only a small percentage will afford their desires.

How about you imagine your desired way of obtaining these luxuries? Let us dream a little…socializing, traveling if you choose, helping others reach their goals, and actually benefiting from the company that consumes your time. Who doesn’t want to believe in a product, be a part of a growing company, help others reach their goals, and have time for family and friends? Perhaps this all sounds like a dream but it is reality with this Club!

Work some and gain a lot…Residual income without the hassles, without the bosses, without the hours, and without the restrictions.

Believe, Become a Doer and Thrive with Efusjon and in your Life!

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

Catarina Toumei's "Do You Know What Your Future Looks Like?"

Do you know what your future looks like?

Remember when you were young…when your mind and imagination was vividly active? When you visualized yourself soaring above the clouds like the birds, imagined yourself sailing on pirate ships through storms, or rescuing animals and people like a superhero?

What happened to that dreamer? Do you allow yourself to dream big dreams now that you are an adult? Or are your dreams held captive by societal expectations or a routine lifestyle, and off-limits?

Now that you have joined a club where five and six figure incomes per month are attainable, you have the opportunity to live your dreams. It is time to brush away all the years of corporate or government work, work where your income was limited and your chances of a ideal life were minimal – and strive for what you really desire.

Your imagination is the preview to life’s coming attractions.”
- Albert Einstein

If there is something in your life that you want to change, dreaming will help you get there. Dreaming and imagining your perfect life is the first step to achieving that perfect life.

Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass.” -Paul Meyer

Your dreams have the power to propel you from where you are today, to where you desire to be tomorrow. The reasons behind this have to do with the power of the mind, having a driving force to motivate you, and positive thinking, among other things. So give yourself permission to use your imagination and dream big when it comes to your happiness and your future.

If you clearly and vividly IMAGINE yourself in the first person doing, being, having the things and qualities you truly want...then you will be using positive imagination to begin a change to fulfilling that image.”
-Paul Meyer

Think about what you want out of life. Picture the perfect house, car, relationship, bank account, “toys,” or all of the above – whatever your dream is. Think about how you want to spend your time and what contribution you want to make to this world.

In order to achieve your desires more quickly, you must see, hear, feel, and experience them in your mind first. Take a few minutes to picture your perfect future in your mind. Bring all of your senses along with you when you dream – touch, feel, taste, smell and sound. What do you see when you visualize your perfect life? What is around you? What does the air feel like? What does it smell like? What sounds are there? And most importantly, how do you feel when you are in your perfect dream?

Remember that feeling of peace or joy or freedom that you have when you imagine a scene in your perfect future. Recall this feeling for a few moments every morning upon waking, and right before going to sleep at night. Many people believe it is emotional feeling that is the most important aspect in “visualizing” your future and achieving it more quickly.

One popular method for keeping your goals and dreams at the top of your mind is to create your own visual board. To create a visual board, gather pictures from magazines, newspapers or the internet that represent those things you most desire. Tack your favorite pictures on a cork board, tape them in a notebook, put them on your refrigerator, or even tape them to your car visor. Looking at those pictures daily will keep you motivated towards achieving your dreams. Most importantly, allow yourself to feel the emotions that you will experience when your dreams become a reality.

Visualize your dreams in your mind, and never stop dreaming!

I have learned that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” -Henry David Thoreau

Now that you have defined your dream, it is time to go after it! If you want it enough, it can be yours!

Dr. Bill M. Smith's Latest 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.
