We either choose to engage and become proactive about potential threats or we suffer the consequences we allow to happen to us." To anyone who has been a member of XS Nation for any significant length of time, it shouldn't come as a surprise to know that the above excerpt is from a commentary penned in the last week by XS Energy Drink co-founder David Vanderveen. In the piece, with references to... http://www.xsgear.com/xsnation/post.aspx?pid=846614b9-a7fa-446b-b2f1-07422d5307eb MattB Colorful, stunning and beautiful. No, we're not referring to the contestants in the Miss America Pageant on Saturday night (though they certainly do match that description). Instead, we are alluding to the XS Energy Drinks that will get some camera time on ABC. The pageant airs from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/PT, and it is a great occasion to organize an XS party with fellow IBOs, customers and others who could become future IBOs and customers. Each of the seven pageant judges will have the... http://www.xsgear.com/xsnation/post.aspx?pid=808aa37e-c602-4c63-b237-f3adb1db2131 MattB Last year, we shared the tremendous success of IBO Vishaal Pandya and his team in the Success Stories section.

At least, that is, everyone who attends one of the upcoming fall major business functions. Pending permits that we expect to obtain soon, every Independent Business Owner attending such a function will receive a free 2.5 ounce blast of our newest drinks, which come in Citrus and Wild Berry flavors. It's important to note that because we are fast-tracking the fall-function shots, they... http://www.xsgear.com/xsnation/post.aspx?pid=c61d7413-d6d6-40d9-a385-9ecc2a2454d3 MattB In the wake of widespread economic woes that have hit Corporate America, Vishaal Pandya was let go last year from his sales and marketing post at an office automation company. At the time, he decided to turn his attention to XS Energy Drinks—and earn more from his own efforts in the process. The results have been nothing short of tremendous. He has led a team of IBOs that have racked up thousands of dollars—in profit—at one XS-themed event after another. Pandya is earning, part-time, at... http://www.xsgear.com/xsnation/post.aspx?pid=caf93bf8-a4a0-4d82-b774-fb9d0d19de1e MattB
