CORPORATE MESSAGE
Max reaches ‘epic milestone’ as glutathione leader
Dave Bagley, Vice President of Product Development
Maya Angelou said, “People will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will never forget
how you made them feel.”
At Max International we are committed to impacting a troubled world
for the better. We begin with those closest to us. When I kiss my kids
goodnight, I wonder how I made them feel that day. When I leave
work I ask myself how I made the people I associated with feel. In
the field, your realm of influence is almost limitless. In a world of
increasing physical, dietary, mental, emotional and economic stressors, you offer support
in vital areas when so many are looking for answers.
Collectively we’re part of a movement to ensure that we not only offer the best now, but
continue to represent excellence and progression well into the future. It’s amazing and
gratifying to think that Dr. Keller and Dr. Nagasawa, who never knew each other, would
develop technology that would exist under one roof and contribute to the same cause.
For as long as I can remember, people have been looking for natural solutions to health
and vitality—that fruit or plant with rare nutritional properties and exclusive marketability.

CORPORATE MESSAGE
We offer the world something unique by unlocking the miracle inside of us. Understanding ways to truly optimize the
natural production and utilization of glutathione within the cells is an ongoing process.
We already have the best but we are on the brink of releasing exciting technology that is truly groundbreaking—perhaps
multiple steps above what we’ve already accomplished. Dr. Nagasawa has spent the better part of 25 years researching
and perfecting this natural compound that allows the body to be re-fueled with glutathione to promote optimal health
and vitality.
We consider it our responsibility to make your job as messengers easier by continually enhancing the message. As
the company reaches an epic milestone, the newly released e-book, The Treasure Within: Discovering the Body’s Most
Powerful Antioxidant* perfectly complements the dynamic message it showcases. It is a living tool that will continuously
expand to reflect the developments its pages capture. It is the perfect companion to introduce prospects to a company
intent on remaining the world’s glutathione leader.
We want Max International to be a company with products you can always feel good about introducing to friends and
prospects. By extension, the answer to the question, “How do you make people feel?” could take on a whole new
dimension.
Sincerely,
Dave Bagley, Vice President of Product Development

MAX CANADA
MAX CANADA NAMES NEW V.P.
Carol Ford, of Brampton, Ontario, is thrilled about her new role as Vice President of Max
Canada, which enables her to merge 32 years of multi-faceted industry experience.
Carol has held positions spanning all angles of the industry including General Manager,
International VP of Sales, CEO and several years building independent businesses in
the field. Carol has also owned two network marketing businesses, as well as other
businesses outside the industry.
“I look forward to providing Associates of Canada with support, tools, and systems needed to
achieve the momentous growth we all anticipate at Max International,” Carol said. “With excellent
leadership already in place, I’m excited about partnering with them to achieve this growth.”
Carol put her long-standing corporate management career on hold during the last two years as she pursued her
passion for field work by becoming a Max Associate. She loves working with field leaders and business builders to help
them realize their dreams. As a proud mother of four adult children, and grandmother of eight, Carol understands the
importance of balancing priorities in life, while building a dream lifestyle for loved ones and creating a legacy for the
family. Carol feels her greatest strengths are training, coaching, and supporting business builders, and believes her new
role as VP will allow her to shine even more strongly in those areas.
Carol said her door is always open to suggestions and questions from partners in the field. She looks forward to traveling
throughout the country in the coming weeks and months to attend special events and meet personally with individuals
in the field. Carol is already gathering feedback and increasing support for Canadian Associates in a variety of ways, as
together they prepare for the anticipated Max International growth momentum.

TOOLS
MAKING THE MOST OF A POWERFUL TOOL
Max International’s latest e-book, The Treasure Within: Discovering
the Body’s Most Powerful Antioxidant, recounts the story told by
Russell Cromwell of Al Hafed, an Arab man, who becomes obsessed
with finding diamonds after an old priest informs him of their value.
Al Hafed sacrifices everything of any importance in the pursuit of this
treasure. After a lifetime of searching, he finds himself impoverished and
disillusioned with his life, which ends when he casts himself in the sea.
In a tragic twist, a man purchases Al Hafed’s farm only to unearth a magnificent
diamond mine on the very property Al Hafed left behind. This story perfectly
illustrates a phenomenon that has plagued the health and wellness industry. It also characterizes many people we
associate with daily who actively seek nutritional alternatives in a complex world. As you share this e-book with friends,
family, and acquaintances, many will find answers they seek and lives will be changed as your business grows.
Instead of searching obscure global locations for exotic fruits and berries with rare antioxidant properties, Max International
turns inward to the diamond mine in our bodies. Max technology seeks to support the body’s own production of its most
powerful antioxidant, glutathione.
With this basic premise, The Treasure Within provides a comprehensive overview of the Max glutathione story from the
development of Dr. Keller’s groundbreaking product MaxGXL ® to the cutting edge nano-activating product Max N-Fuze ®
and forthcoming products resulting from nearly 25 years of Dr. Herb Nagasawa’s dedicated research.
Customizing your approach
In the recent webinar, Mike Larkins discussed using the e-book as it relates to tribe culture as presented by Seth Godin
in his book Tribes. A tribe involves communication between the tribal leaders, tribesmen and connections outside the
tribe, called fans. With a few good tribesman and a few good fans, who become believers and are committed to the
process, you can start a movement.
“Our intent is to provide you with tools that help individuals tell the story better, target those outside Max and send out a
viral message that gets people talking,” Mike said. “This will create talkability hooks. If you get a thousand people—and
it only took four hours to book a thousand people to listen to the webinar—that’s a phenomenal tribe. That many people
could impact the world.”
Mike called 2010 a breakthrough year. “That’s true for where Max International is headed and it’s true for each
of you individually,” he said.

TOOLS
Advisory Council member Dr. Daria Davidson said that when the story you are telling is real the less talking you do the
better. The last thing you want to give a thirsty friend is a drink from a fire hose. The e-book allows you to customize
your approach according to the interests of your prospect. Some will respond well to being directed to specific pages,
while others will end up reading the entire e-book.
Daria called Alan Sickman a master at this business. Alan built his business by simply handing a magazine to his
prospect and specifying certain pages he knew would be of interest. The e-book allows you to do the same with the
added bonus of providing multi-media options. Some prospects who might skim through the text will be taken in by the
informative videos, which can be viewed randomly and largely independent of the text, creating a remarkably versatile
resource.
Dr. Davidson described the e-book as a professional-looking, hype-free tool that represents the company well. She joined
with Mike Larkins in saying that this is a company built on relationships. Sending the e-book out as a big email blast could
spark some interest but don’t be surprised if such a strategy elicits a limited response.
“It should be used with a little thought and discipline,” Dr. Davidson said. “If you’re an Associate who already has a
system in place, you’ll know where this will fit in and you won’t need a lot of help. But if you are hesitant and not sure how
to bring Max International into your conversation, this will give you one more tool that will do much of the talking for you.”
Dr. Davidson described the product scheduled for release this summer as phenomenal.
“If Dr. Keller’s work could be described as taking us from air travel to a moon-bound space shuttle, the
forthcoming technology is the Starship Enterprise taking us into warp speed mode,” Dr. Davidson said.
“Glutathione doesn’t change and our science doesn’t change. Being the world leaders in glutathione research,
development, and deployment doesn’t change. It just grows. The story, however, will change and expand after the June
product launch. The book will change then, too. It’s an exciting time to be a part of this company. I believe 2010 will be
the year that we say, ‘I’m glad I didn’t sleep through that year.’”
The Treasure Within is one tool that will give your prospects the chance to wake up and be a part of an exciting
movement that will impact the world.

FAQ-PRODUCT E-BOOK
UTILIZING THE TREASURE WITHIN E-BOOK
The newly released e-book The Treasure Within: Discovering Your Body’s Most Powerful Antioxidant is a
dynamic, versatile tool that can provide your prospect with a quick answer to a question, a brief look at a
few specific aspects of the company, or a comprehensive overview of Max International’s role as the world
leader in glutathione research, development, and deployment. The e-book can be used in a variety of ways
and customized according to the interests of your prospect.
Q. Is the e-book free and, if so, how do I access it?
It is also a living tool. Mike Larkins has referred to 2010 as the year of
breakthroughs. That is saying something when you consider that Max is a
company that specializes in breakthrough products. This is a year where that
distinction will take on a new meaning as we look to further solidify our status
as the glutathione leader with forthcoming products. Introducing a tool that
has the capacity to expand along with the company’s product line is vital. The
FAQ—along with other sections of the April newsletter—is designed to help you
find ways to utilize this powerful new tool to its best advantage. Here are some
questions from our Associates:
A. The e-book is free and available at blog.max.com. Scroll down to downloads and click on the e-book image to
download a PDF or right click and scroll down to “save link as” to save it to your hard drive.
Q. As a marketing tool, what are the advantages to The Treasure Within and other e-books?
A. E-books will provide a more in-depth analysis of specific aspects of the company than you will find anywhere else.
Our first e-book discussed the Max Code and Max’s mission to become an “A” Company. The Treasure Within focuses
on our role as the glutathione leader. E-books present the information in an interactive and entertaining format—with
videos and web links—that will capture the attention of contacts with widely varying interests and backgrounds.
This tool allows you to customize your approach by offering an in-depth, multimedia
overview of the importance of glutathione and Max International’s role as
the world leader in technology that supports the body’s production of it. Some
of the prospects with whom you share The Treasure Within will skim through it,
some—with specific areas of interest—will access the pages that address those
areas, while others will absorb every word. The beautiful thing about the e-book
is that it caters to the unique needs, interests, and lifestyles of your prospect.
The videos can be viewed independently of the text and some of your prospects
will, no doubt, watch the videos before they do anything else.
9

FAQ-PRODUCT E-BOOK
We feel the e-book is compelling enough that certain prospects who are targeting
specific pages may find themselves perusing sections that weren’t initially of
interest and—because of the groundbreaking nature of the information—may
end up reading all of it, increasing the likelihood that they could decide to get
involved in the company.
Q. Does Max plan to supply a hard copy of The Treasure Within for
Associates to distribute in the future?
A. We don’t feel that a hard copy of the e-book would be useful because it is
a dynamic, interactive tool with multi-media links that wouldn’t lend itself to, or
be best utilized in, a hard copy format. It can be easily downloaded from the max.com blog and emailed to contacts.
Getting it into the hands of contacts as a PDF is even easier than it would be in printed form and much more useful
to your contact. You can also text a link to the e-book to your prospect or provide links at social networking sites like
Facebook and Twitter. This will get far more exposure than a traditional hard copy would.
Q. With ongoing product developments will The Treasure Within become outdated?
A. Not at all. Another great thing about e-books is they are living tools that
change and evolve with ongoing developments in the company. That is especially
important in light of the exciting product launch this summer that is the culmination
of one aspect of Dr. Nagasawa’s dedicated, groundbreaking research over the
better part of 25 years. With the release of each innovative product the Max story
is continuously updated and captured in its pages. Thus, your prospects will not
only be able to get an overview of the breakthrough that led to the formation of
Max International as a company, in the form of MaxGXL ® ,but they will see how
Max International intends to stay ahead of potential competitors well into the
future with ongoing research and an ever-expanding product line.
Q. Where can I go to listen to the webinar discussing the e-book?
A. Click here to listen to Mike Larkins, Dave Bagley, Dr. Daria Davidson, and Carl Woolston discuss how to best utilize
this powerful new tool.

TRAINING
MAX LIVING PART 1
Make life’s moments count by effectively managing time and making and keeping commitments
For the next three months the training section in MaxToday will be devoted
to three different aspects of Max Living. Associates in all walks of life attempt
to balance overstuffed schedules with building a business. This can be
challenging even for the most organized person. It is important to build your
business in a way that doesn’t detract from things that matter most, but this
can, at times, seem daunting. Discovering small ways to achieve balance and
improve effectiveness, while decreasing stress, can make all the difference.
What is time? We’ve heard it said that time is money, our most precious resource, or what we bide between paychecks.
It is all of those things but most importantly time is what you make of it. If you can manage it in a way that adds value
to your life and the lives of those around you, your life will become one of great significance. Maximizing what matters
most is a process of making each moment count and making sure the things of greatest importance don’t get bypassed
because we aren’t paying careful enough attention.
When time starts working in your favor your life becomes meaningful and significant.
Sit down today and write down two major commitments you want and need to accomplish. Don’t feel like you have to
limit it to two. If you can think of five things off the top of your head, write all of them down. A great one to start with is
this: “I will invest ten to fifteen minutes each day formally planning my day.”
The objectives of Max Living are the following:
Decrease Stress: By simply following through with one of the commitments you write down, you can substantially
decrease stress levels.
Increase Your Personal Effectiveness: This is not to be confused with productivity. Productivity can be a good thing but
it is possible to be productive doing the wrong thing. If your ladder is sitting against the wrong wall it doesn’t matter how
productive you are. Effectiveness comes when you have your ladder against the right wall and you’re doing the right
thing in terms of what matters most to you, your family, and your team.
Increase Joy and Balance in Your Life and in Your Max Business: Decreasing stress and increasing effectiveness will
naturally create joy and balance.
We can all learn from the serenity prayer recited at the beginning of each AA meeting. It says, “God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
11

TRAINING
Imagine that you are sitting at home. Think of your home as a continuum, like a box. The wall to your left represents the
things in your life you have no control over, the wall to your right represents everything you have total control over, and
the space in between represents the things over which you have varying degrees of control.
Focusing too much time on things that are out of our control, like something that happened in the past or other people’s
actions, is counterproductive. One of the things that you have total control over is whether or not you decide to proactively
plan the events of your day. Taking control of that one aspect of your life can be a powerful thing.
Keys to effective planning include:
Review Values and Goals and Set Specific Daily Tasks That Reflect Your Values: Most of the people reading this probably
already use some kind of to-do list each day. Very rarely do the highest priorities show up on that to-do list. When you
start to see that the highest priorities are showing up on your daily task list it creates a sense of peace knowing that you
aren’t letting those things pass you by.
Evaluate Time Vs. Task and Anticipate Obstacles: Take time to decide if you are over-planning. Ask yourself the question,
“Am I planning ten hours worth of things and only have about seven hours worth of discretionary time today?”
Prioritize Tasks: Spend fifteen minutes each day formally planning your day.
If you start today to implement these commitments into your daily routine it could make a significant difference in your
stress levels, in your personal effectiveness, and in enhancing the balance and joy in your life and your effectiveness in
building the business.

PRODUCT
GLUTATHIONE AND THE LIVER
It’s a clear fact that we live in a toxic environment. The foods we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink,
all contain chemicals and toxins. For our bodies, the daunting task of getting rid of all these toxins starts in
the liver. The liver is one of the hardest working and important organs in the body.
The liver essentially acts as a washing machine, cleansing the body of many damaging toxins
before they can enter the bloodstream. It is also responsible for removing dangerous microorganisms
such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites from the blood before they have the
opportunity to invade critical parts of the body where they can do the most damage.
This is important since many of the toxins in our bodies can actually be produced by the body.
Fatty tissues can be stored for years and then release toxins into the body as byproducts of
energy conversion during activities like exercise, fasting, or during times of stress. Nutritional
deficiencies, which are increasingly prevalent due to poor diets and conventionally-grown foods,
can also increase the amount of internally produced toxins.
This is one reason a healthy diet is so important, because it supports optimal liver function while at the same time reducing
the amount of toxins your body produces. Of the many jobs the liver performs, detoxification is the liver’s most important.
The most essential element used by the liver in this process is glutathione (GSH).
How Glutathione Aids in the Detoxification Process
During detoxification, the liver filters the blood, removing large toxins and unwanted chemicals. The liver filters everything
ingested by the body and converts any toxins into water soluble chemicals that are expelled in urine, bile, or stool. This
generally occurs in a two-phase process.
During phase I the liver either completely neutralizes toxins or modifies them into weaker, less harmful toxins. Toxins are
reduced to smaller fragments, which can then be more easily neutralized in the next phase.
During phase II more powerful enzymes are produced which continue the detoxification process. GSH is produced during
phase I, but released into the body, along with other antioxidants, during phase II. Antioxidants protect cells from oxidative
damage caused by free radicals. GSH is by far the most important antioxidant produced by the body for neutralizing free
radicals and is a principle component of phase II detoxification.
When a person is exposed to large amounts of toxins for long periods there is an imbalance between the two phases. When
this occurs, key nutrients such as GSH levels are depleted. Liver damage and oxidative stress can result when phase II
processes, dependent on GSH, fail to occur. It is vital to supply the body with proper nutrients while limiting the amount of
free radicals we ingest.
14

PRODUCT
We have so many stressors and toxins around us it is essential that our bodies are armed with a way to combat them. For
example, imagine a clean sponge that represents your body and a bowl of pure, clean water that represent the nutrients and
vitamins your body needs. If you first submerge the sponge in a bowl of muddy water (toxins) and then extract the “toxinfilled”
sponge and place it into a bowl of pure, clean water, how much of the pure, clean water (nutrients) do you think it will
be able to absorb? Not much, right? However, if you first thoroughly wring out the muddy water and clean it completely
(detoxification through the liver) then submerge it into the clean water, you will obviously get much better results absorbing
the nutrients your body needs.
That is the effect glutathione has on our liver and its ability to act as a detoxifier. With glutathione taking a central role in our
daily detoxification program our liver has the means to extract the toxins from our cells. They are then more readily available
to absorb nutrients and perform necessary functions that promote better health.
A healthy diet, coupled with exercise and supplementation, may be the best thing you can do to help your liver function in
the most effective and efficient way possible. MaxGXL ® and Max N-Fuze® are both designed to support optimal production
of glutathione in the body, which will, in turn, assist the liver and other vital organs to perform at their peak.

Max International congratulates the January
TOP ASSOCIATE RECRUITERS
Passionately pursue your goals, fulfill your dreams
When Nimfa and Antonio Diez, of the Philippines, first heard about Max
International from a long-time friend, Romeo Lestojas, the last thing they
needed was one more thing on their plate. Antonio kept busy with his career as
a national sales and marketing manager of a large chemical company and Nimfa
managed a bridal shop. So despite having great trust in Romeo, the timing was
all wrong and Max got put on the backburner.
Then, several months later, Antonio said he experienced a paradigm shift when he read Dr. Keller’s book on glutathione.
The information was so powerful and believable he immediately started taking MaxGXL ® and felt better than he had in
some time.
“As a chemical engineer by profession, I can easily relate to the science behind the product, particularly the biological
reactions related to detoxification,” Antonio said.
Although neither Antonio or Nimfa had ever worked in network marketing before, they were both experienced in business
and that bode well for their ability to market Max.
“Drawing on 20 years of experience as a marketing manager, I knew how to present Max in a way that convinced
prospects it was an opportunity worth looking into,” Antonio said.
Antonio advises Associates to target people with good leadership skills when recruiting and focus on recruiting long-time
friends and relatives first, then actively support your downline.
“Having a mastery of the product and knowing how to present the compensation plan is important, but it’s equally
important to set goals and passionately set out to achieve them,” Antonio said.
Nimfa and Antonio set a team goal to qualify for the 1st Annual Diamond/Leadership Celebration in Hawaii in May. The
Diezs are excited to have qualified along with several of their team members and will be joining Associates from around
the world in Maui next month.

Detoxing the body at a cellular level a huge step forward
Dr. Holly Fourchalk, of Maple Ridge, British Columbia, holds a PhD in psychology, a doctorate in metaphysics; and a
DNM in natural medicine. With her background and training she knew, before finding Max, what a powerful antioxidant
glutathione is. Since discovering Max International, MaxGXL ® has become an important addition to her practice.
“I’ve always had this ridiculous notion that I’m responsible for making the world healthy—which accounts for my three
advanced degrees,” Dr. Fourchalk laughed. “I started a program called Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise and do a presentation
called The Three Pillars of Health. In the presentation I go over the need for detoxing and strengthening the body at
cellular, systemic, and environmental levels—which are the three pillars.”
Each level is complementary and interrelated. Dr. Fourchalk said that the medical community has been trying to increase
glutathione at a cellular level for some time and MaxGXL is a phenomenal breakthrough that gives the body the fuel to
produce its own glutathione.
“By detoxing the body at the cellular level you are ten steps ahead of the game,” Dr. Fourchalk said. “My attitude when
patients come in is to detox the body first—and the best way to do that is to increase glutathione at a cellular level.
MaxGXL provides that critical component.”

TOP PREFERRED CUSTOMER RECRUITERS
Will Farrell, Rhonda Bertelson, Chris Dunn, Dr. Louis B. Cady, and Cynthia Denkin, were Top Recruiters once
again this month. They were all featured in recent issues of MaxToday. Keep up the great work!
Powerful product, dedicated upline account for success
Martin Moreau, of Victoria, British Columbia, found out about Max
International during a routine in-home consultation for a window
company he worked with as a sales consultant. The owner of the
home was a visibly frail woman who apologized for her condition.
When he returned two weeks after the initial consultation, the woman’s
condition had changed to the point where Martin couldn’t help asking
about it. She told him about a supplement she had ordered over the
Internet through a company called Max International. She said she
now had energy to do things she hadn’t done in quite a while.
17

RECOGNITION-MARCH
As a believer in nutritional supplements, this got Martin’s attention. Remarkably, later the same day he was scheduled to
work a booth at a three-day trade show his window company was participating in. Martin feels that by no coincidence there
was a Max International booth set up right across from his.
“On my break I visited with the people running the booth and was absolutely amazed by their experiences with MaxGXL ® ,”
Martin said. “If it weren’t for the experience with my customer earlier that day, I would have found the stories hard to believe.”
At the end of the trade show Martin was given an Intro Pack and ordered a month supply. After experiencing very little the
first couple weeks on the product, he called to ask for his money back, but was wisely advised to continue on the product
until he used up his supply. Then, after five weeks on the product, he noticed his energy levels and quality of sleep had
improved to the point where he didn’t have to hit the snooze button three or four times every morning, as he did before, and
was much more productive during the day. By extension, he became quite interested in the business side of Max.
Martin experienced so much adversity over the next several months—both in terms of health and his Max business—that
he feels he wouldn’t have stayed with the company if it weren’t for the strength of the products and upline support. He
searched his upline until he found Henry and Teresa Kramer, who have been amazing.
“They took me in with open arms, even though they had very little to gain financially from working with me,” Martin said.
“I can’t say enough about their quality of character. They have spent countless hours mentoring and supporting me. If it
weren’t for them I wouldn’t be in Max and I certainly wouldn’t be doing as well as I am doing now.”
Consequently, Martin replaced his former career and is working Max full-time, even though he was only making a few
hundred dollars a month through Max at the time. He had so much faith in the products and his team that, despite a lack of
former network marketing experience, Martin felt it was a risk worth taking.
“I really caught the vision of how I could be part of a company that was going to change the world with its products and
approach to business,” Martin said. “All I wanted to do was share Max products and grow my business.”

MARCH 2009 RANK ADVANCEMENTS
Congratulations to the Max Associates who have advanced in rank because of their
dedicated efforts in sharing the Max WAY!
Making networking an extension of life
Platinum Associates
Joallyn and Dave Cartwright, of Gulf Breeze, Florida, feel fortunate to have some of
the best mentors in the company. Joallyn said that being mentored by her parents, Alan
and Jean Sickman, is nothing new because it is something she has experienced all of
her life, but they are never ones to force or even strongly persuade. Joallyn described
Alan’s approach with her as somewhat matter-of-fact.
“He is a man that does all of his due diligence before making a decision,” Joallyn said.
“Lucky for me, I know he makes wise decisions and is very thorough.”
Joallyn said that after flying to Salt Lake to meet Greg Fullerton and Steve Scott personally she knew instantly Max
International was a good company. She had been running her own business for several years and, despite having
no network marketing experience, she knew it was an opportunity she had to pursue. Although many people find
network marketing to be scary and intimidating, when you find the right company it’s almost a natural process.
“I believe that networking is something we do every day of our lives,” Joallyn said. “We automatically refer things we
like to our friends and family, whether it’s a hair dresser, restaurant, a favorite book, or a product. The nice thing about
referring products in a company like Max is you actually get to make some money for your efforts.”
Social networking websites are a great resource, Joallyn feels. If you use avenues correctly people will ask about
your business. One success story involved a friend on Facebook that Joallyn had known since sixth grade, Paula
Manayan.
“Dave and I were posting pictures from the 2009 Elevate Convention and Paula messaged me asking, ‘What is Max?’
Two months later Paula and her husband, Dr. Rex Manayan, became Associates,” Joallyn said.

RECOGNITION-MARCH
Joallyn feels it is all about your team. More often than not, when someone fails at this business it is less their failure
than that of their sponsor. One of Joallyn’s mottos is “There is no ‘I’ in team.”
If you don’t help others achieve their goals then you will not achieve yours,” she said.
Joallyn has tried to get her team members to take advantage of social networking. A few of her friends had between
10 to 18 friends on sites like Facebook and Twitter and hardly ever looked at their pages. Now those team members
have hundreds of social networking friends and look at their pages every day. Joallyn feels it’s a great way to rekindle
old friendships, and if they end up getting involved in the business it’s a bonus. But the focus should always be the
friendship first, not recruiting.
“We are truly excited to advance to Platinum,” Joallyn said. “But we’re even more excited about helping change lives,
both physically and financially, for the better.”
