Be Leary of ViSalus BMW Promise!

What is Not To Love?
In the act of FULL DISCLOSURE...I am an Isagenix Consultant, have been using Isagenix products since October 6th of 2012...they work for me, I have lost some 25 plus pounds, and a whole lot of body inches in their Isa Body Challenge.  Am new to the company, so not currently making fist fulls of money, and in fact am spending more eating healthy, losing weight and getting fit than I am currently making...I do this because THE PRODUCT WORKS.  I also happen to believe in the business framework of the company, and have plans to build my own Isagenix business into some serious income over the coming months and years.  I also am 57 years old, am a bit cantankerous, and tend to read the fine print where others do not...which brings us to ViSalus and their shiny little bling used to entice people to sell their product...specifically, their Black BMW

Much like some of ViSalus's product claims, something in the BMW claim seemed just to enticing.  We have shakes, ViSalus has shakes...their shakes cost less, but upon closer examination, you begin to understand why...at best as a stand alone item, their shakes are a snack at 90 calories, while ours at 240 calories and 23 grams of protein are a meal.   To make their shakes a meal, you have to start adding stuff...some of that stuff NOT VERY HEALTHY.  IE, go look at how many of their recipes for shakes include the use of Jello Pudding (I know, an American staple)...that pudding contains various ingredients that I consider toxic, as well as gelatin...Gelatin is made from animal hooves, not exactly what I want to be putting into a supposedly HEALTHY SHAKE...your mileage may vary.

Now a BMW is a very ENTICING PERK...I know, I drive one.  A beautiful cream colored BMW 325I...it is posh, and I love driving it.  Obviously, suddenly finding myself drinking shakes, cleansing and getting healthy, I wanted to find out before I got to far in just what this BMW offer the competition was offering entailed...HEY, I'm human, would not mind having TWO BMW's, one off white, the other black...can see the custom plates now, "MINE" and MINE2".  

Being curious, I did a Google search for, "ViSalus Bimmer Club" in my quest to know all about the opportunity.  You can read what I read here.  Seems that there are some SERIOUS STRINGS attached to the ViSalus Bimmer offer, especially considering the fact that they in no way shape or form are giving you a Bimmer, are NOT guaranteeing the payments for said Bimmer, and make it clear they in no way shape or form are going to help you get said Black Bimmer.
The decision to acquire a new or used BMW vehicle is solely the responsibility of the Distributor in consultation with BMW, dealer or lessor. Any contract signed by the Distributor is exclusively between said Distributor and BMW. 

ViSalus Sciences will not guarantee any purchase or lease payments and cannot offer any advice as to the Distributor’s ability to finance said vehicle.
SEE ALSO...
2. Participant understands that Participant is not obligated to purchase or lease a BMW vehicle. If Participant does purchase or lease a BMW vehicle, Participant acknowledges that he/she will, at all times, be personally and solely responsible for the payment to BMW of all purchase or lease amounts and/or any other amounts relating to such purchase or lease of a BMW vehicle. Participant further understands that ViSalus will not: (a) participate in any negotiations regarding Participant’s purchase or lease of a BMW vehicle; (b) sign (in any capacity whatsoever) the purchase or lease agreement, or any other documents, relating to Participant’s purchase or lease of a BMW vehicle; or (c) be liable in any way whatsoever to BMW (or any BMW affiliate) for any financial or other obligations relating to Participant’s purchase or lease of a BMW vehicle. ViSalus’ only obligation with respect to Participant’s purchase or lease of a BMW vehicle will be to pay Participant’s bonus directly to Participant in such amounts and for such periods of time as described in the Program Guidelines.
The above is copied RIGHT FROM ViSalus literature...in short, they are saying it is your, the distributor's, responsibility to negotiate the purchase of your Bimmer with a BMW dealer, and further, they in no way shape or form will guarantees the purchase and/or the lease payments...OUCH!  How can that be?  Again, read the fine print...I'll make it simple...if you reach position A, there is no guarantee that you will stay there.  What happens if say three of your downline drop out, or stop ordering because it's summer vacation, and because of this you fail to meet the qualifications of position A that got you qualified for those Bimmer payments....UHHHHHH, can you say, "SCREWED"...that's right, you are left high and dry until you RE-QUALIFY, which means you are left scrambling to make that car payment!

Now I am sure there are some ViSalus reps who have gotten that Black BMW, and stayed qualified, actually were successful over a period of time in having ViSalus give them the money to make the payments until the loan or lease was paid off.  However, being a betting man here, also betting there are many ViSalus reps, even former reps that got sucked into a situation they did not fully understand, who bought or leased a BMW, and then lost it!  How many of those who lost thier BMW's also lost their good credit rating in the process...I cannot answer that last question, but would love to talk to those who found themselves on the short end of the ViSalus Bimmer Club enticement about the long term financial opportunities found with Isagenix.

Really Excited About New Energy Drink...It's all Natural and SAFE

If you want to know just how big Energy Drinks are, all you have to do is walk into any Sam's Club or Costco and see how much floor space they are given.  The leader of the pack for quite some time has been 5 Hour Energy which is under investigation by the FDA, the question after five deaths obviously being is it safe?  Despite this investigation, the energy drink market is huge for one big reason...young people drink it much like 79 million Baby Boomers (myself included) drink our coffee.  We rush into Star Bucks for a cup on the run, brew ourselves a cup (or two) first thing in the morning to start  our day.  Sometimes we even have a cup early in the evening just after dinner...it is our caffeine ingestion source of choice.  The younger generation reaches for a Energy Drink, with the average consumers of energy drinks ranging in age from  13-35.

As someone who loves his coffee, I know that not all coffees are created equal...the same holds true for Energy Drinks, and just because 5 Hour Energy is currently the leader of the pack, that fact does not make it the best choice when reaching for an energy drink.

This weekend at the Isagenix NYKO 2013 gathering in Phoenix Arizona, Isagenix (my company) introduced what I believe to be the best, healthiest and all natural Energy Drink on the market in their e+ Energy Shot.  A bold claim for a product out just four days, but lets take a look at it.

So how does e+ Energy Shot compare?

e+ Energy Shot reduces the effects of fatigue with naturally-sourced caffeine and a proprietary blend of adaptogenic botanicals. e+ Energy Shot contains no added sugars, artificial colors, sweeteners or flavoring found in other energy drinks. This proprietary, energy-boosting formula delivers:
  • A Quick energy boost that lasts for hours
  • A kick-start to your workout
  • Improved focus and physical performance
  • Clarity and alertness
  • A safe, effective and natural energy boost
The two key components of what makes  e+ Energy Shot the healthier natural choice of energy drink are its adaptogenic botanicals, and the absence of added sugars, artificial colors (toxins), sweetners or flavoring.   The second advantage is clear to see, but can see some scratching their heads and asking themselves, what are adaptogenic botanicals?

For a herb  to be classified a adaptogenic botanical, there are three general guidelines.

1. Herb cannot cause harm or place additional stress on the body. 

2. The herb must have the ability to  help the body adapt to a variety of stresses, both environmental and psychological in nature. 

3. The herb must work in a nonspecific (targeted) way. Which is to say, it should support our whole body, including all  major systems (nervous, immune, hormonal, etc.), and help regulate body's functions. 

Generally, herbal adaptogens should have a 'normalizing' effect on the body, not over stimulate, nor depress the body's systems. 

Imagine reaching for an Energy Drink that is natural and healthy, devoid of toxins, free of added sugars, artificial colors, sweetners or flavoring, and there is only one choice, and that is the Isagenix e+ Energy Shot.  To learn more, or order you e+ Energy Shot, click here.
