Convention Recap • Awards and Recognition • Message in a Bottle
PRESIDEnT’S<br />
MESSAGE<br />
Dear <strong>MonaVie</strong> Family,<br />
It’s now been several weeks since <strong>the</strong> conclusion of <strong>the</strong> 2007 <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE International Convention, but every<br />
day since <strong>the</strong> convention, I’ve thought back on what took place, and I’m still in awe. For those of you who were<br />
fortunate enough to attend, I know you understand what I’m saying.<br />
Words simply cannot explain <strong>the</strong> flood of emotion I felt on <strong>the</strong> morning of that final day of convention as literally<br />
thousands of you made your way to center stage to make personal donations to <strong>the</strong> MORE Project. This simple<br />
and pure act of love was <strong>the</strong> highlight of <strong>the</strong> convention for me and many o<strong>the</strong>rs, and, quite honestly, <strong>the</strong> highlight<br />
of my 17 years in <strong>this</strong> business.<br />
Later that same morning, we heard from Mike Durant, a decorated veteran and inspiration for <strong>the</strong> movie Black<br />
Hawk Down. As a prisoner of war held hostage in Somalia some 14 years ago, Mike spoke about his harrowing<br />
experience and how he lost friends who attempted to free him from captivity. His story was both moving and<br />
inspiring, and captured well <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me of <strong>this</strong> year’s convention—LIFE.<br />
For me, one of <strong>the</strong> funnest parts of convention is announcing <strong>the</strong> reward trips that we have in store for you, our<br />
deserving distributors. Coming up April 27–May 4, 2008, is our Diamond Destination “Adventure of <strong>the</strong> Seas”<br />
Caribbean cruise. Later that same year we’ll be taking our Black Diamond distributors on a Mediterranean cruise,<br />
July 21–30, with stops in Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, and Greece. More details on <strong>the</strong>se two exciting reward trips<br />
will be coming soon.<br />
Judging by <strong>the</strong> overwhelmingly positive response to <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE store and <strong>the</strong> new <strong>MonaVie</strong> Mall, it seems as<br />
though many of you are already purchasing luggage and new outfits for <strong>the</strong>se reward trips!<br />
If you weren’t able to attend <strong>this</strong> year’s convention, I encourage you to decide<br />
today that you will never miss ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>MonaVie</strong> International Convention.<br />
This annual event is a must-attend for every <strong>MonaVie</strong> distributor desiring a<br />
lifestyle of more health and freedom.<br />
Carpe diem,<br />
Dallin A. Larsen<br />
Founder and President, <strong>MonaVie</strong>
InTERnATI<strong>On</strong>AL C<strong>On</strong>VEnTI<strong>On</strong> RECAP<br />
The 2007 <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE International Convention in Salt<br />
Lake City, Utah, promised to be <strong>the</strong> must-see event of <strong>the</strong><br />
year and didn’t disappoint as thousands of distributors<br />
ga<strong>the</strong>red to hear speakers discuss <strong>the</strong> benefits of <strong>the</strong> açai<br />
berry, learn how to build a thriving <strong>MonaVie</strong> business, and<br />
have fun and network with o<strong>the</strong>r successful entrepreneurs.<br />
The convention was off to a high-flying start on Thursday<br />
with <strong>the</strong> landing of <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> parachute team during<br />
<strong>the</strong> annual golf tournament held at <strong>the</strong> beautiful Eaglewood<br />
Golf Course.<br />
From <strong>the</strong>re, <strong>the</strong> convention was in full swing Friday<br />
morning as <strong>MonaVie</strong> cofounder and executive vice<br />
president Henry Marsh teamed with Utah Jazz mascot<br />
Bear to fire up <strong>the</strong> Salt Palace crowd, leading a chant of<br />
“M-O-n-A-V-I-E.”<br />
“Isn’t life wonderful,” Dallin Larsen, <strong>MonaVie</strong> founder and<br />
president, asked when he took <strong>the</strong> stage. In front of a virtual<br />
backdrop of <strong>the</strong> American flag, Dallin joined convention<br />
attendees in honoring U.S. war veterans with a moving<br />
rendition of “God Bless America,” sung by Whitney Olsen,<br />
daughter of Black Diamond Executives Scott and Sue Olsen.<br />
Dallin next held an impromptu convention roll call,<br />
recognizing distributors from Japan, new Zealand,<br />
Australia, Puerto Rico, Canada, and from all across <strong>the</strong><br />
United States.<br />
“I love <strong>the</strong> culture we’re establishing in <strong>this</strong> company,”<br />
Dallin said. “This is about more than a product. This is<br />
about life.”<br />
Wayne Moorehead, vice president of marketing, took<br />
<strong>the</strong> stage next and announced several marketing initiatives,<br />
including a new Success from Home magazine,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Extraordinary Process and Athlete brochures, <strong>the</strong><br />
monavieon<strong>the</strong>move.com website redesign, and <strong>the</strong> special<br />
edition convention bottle.<br />
Later, Jeremy Wycherly announced <strong>the</strong> launch of <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
Mall, <strong>the</strong> new online destination for <strong>MonaVie</strong> branded<br />
apparel and promotional items, including customized<br />
business cards, address labels, and letterhead. Wycherly,<br />
director of <strong>MonaVie</strong> Mall, also announced that distributors<br />
can receive a 10 percent discount on <strong>the</strong>ir first purchase in<br />
<strong>the</strong> mall.<br />
Following Jeremy, Alec Clark, senior manager of branding<br />
and recognition, announced <strong>the</strong> details of <strong>the</strong> first <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
LIFE store giveaway and raffle, which included shopping<br />
sprees in <strong>the</strong> LIFE store, two Sicilian 150 Scooters, and a<br />
getaway for two to <strong>the</strong> Zermatt Resort in Park City, Utah.<br />
The <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE store was a hit even before it opened,<br />
as hundreds of people stood in line to catch <strong>the</strong>ir first<br />
glimpse of <strong>the</strong> jewelry, clothing, and o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
branded items that made <strong>the</strong>ir official debut during<br />
<strong>the</strong> convention.<br />
on <strong>the</strong> move | 1
“It was instant pandemonium. Stuff was flying off <strong>the</strong><br />
shelves,” said Alec, describing how many products—including<br />
<strong>the</strong> wheeled carry-on luggage and briefcase—sold out<br />
within <strong>the</strong> first few hours.<br />
Drs. Carson and Schauss<br />
Following Alec, Dr. Ralph Carson, member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
Board of Directors and nationally recognized expert in <strong>the</strong><br />
field of eating disorders and weight management, and Dr.<br />
Alex Schauss, one of <strong>the</strong> world’s foremost authorities on<br />
<strong>the</strong> açai berry, each discussed <strong>the</strong> scientific research that has<br />
established <strong>the</strong> açai berry as one of <strong>the</strong> world’s premier fruits.<br />
“There is no criticism of açai; it truly is a superfruit,” Schauss<br />
said, highlighting scientific research that indicates açai is far<br />
superior to wild blueberries, cocoa, and dark chocolate.<br />
MORE Miracles<br />
Dallin predicted early in <strong>the</strong> convention that <strong>the</strong> MORE<br />
Project would raise $1 million to continue its efforts to feed,<br />
clo<strong>the</strong>, and educate children in Brazil; convention attendees<br />
delivered on that promise, donating approximately<br />
US$1,030,000 to <strong>this</strong> worthwhile cause.<br />
“Your generosity continues to amaze us,” said Charlie Brink,<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> cofounder and executive director of <strong>the</strong> MORE<br />
Project. He joined Sergio Ponce, project director, and<br />
Chris Brink, project manager, to detail <strong>the</strong> various MORE<br />
Project initiatives and showcase footage of <strong>the</strong>ir remarkable<br />
and inspiring efforts to assist <strong>the</strong> poverty-stricken area.<br />
To maximize <strong>the</strong> compensation plan…<br />
Friday afternoon, distributors attended breakout sessions<br />
designed to provide <strong>the</strong>m with <strong>the</strong> information <strong>the</strong>y needed<br />
to become successful entrepreneurs.<br />
“To maximize <strong>the</strong> compensation plan, you need to be on a<br />
1-, 2-, or 3-case AutoShip,” Brig Hart, <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s Imperial<br />
Black Diamond Executive, told a packed room of distributors<br />
during <strong>the</strong> “Your Life and <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> Compensation<br />
Plan” breakout session. Brig and Lita offered several tips to<br />
maximize <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> business.<br />
Among <strong>the</strong>m: build your organization locally before expanding<br />
to new territories; replicate <strong>the</strong> system of o<strong>the</strong>r successful<br />
distributors; and sponsor people within your sphere of influence,<br />
i.e., friends, family, co-workers.<br />
“Your greatest assets in life are your mistakes,” said Royal<br />
Black Diamond Executive <strong>On</strong>yx Coale during <strong>the</strong> breakout<br />
2 | 2nd/3rd Quarter 2007<br />
session “Designing Your <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE.” She and husband<br />
Robert Addie shared with distributors how <strong>the</strong>y successfully<br />
overcame obstacles when building <strong>the</strong>ir organization.<br />
Among <strong>the</strong>ir tips to be successful: teach new distributors<br />
how to use <strong>the</strong> Virtual Office; work with people that you<br />
like; don’t take “no” as an insult; let <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> product<br />
sell itself; and don’t wait to learn everything about <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
before sharing it with o<strong>the</strong>rs.<br />
Bag, bottle, book, big dream<br />
Steve and Gina Merritt, Presidential Black Diamond Executives,<br />
were <strong>the</strong> presenters of <strong>the</strong> breakout session “Embracing<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> LIFE from Distributor to Diamond,” where<br />
<strong>the</strong>y discussed what distributors needed most to build a<br />
successful <strong>MonaVie</strong> business.<br />
“You need four things—a bag, a bottle, a book, and a big<br />
dream,” Steve said, explaining how each of those items<br />
served as <strong>the</strong> foundation for his family’s success.<br />
“We made every single moment count,” said Gina. “The<br />
key thing is we kept building <strong>the</strong> business.”<br />
That’s why <strong>the</strong>y’re called relationships.<br />
Dr. Roger Rinn, a licensed psychologist and author of five<br />
books (including Positive Parenting), presented <strong>the</strong> breakout<br />
session “Bringing <strong>MonaVie</strong> Home—Couples & Positive Parenting,”<br />
where he discussed <strong>the</strong> principal reasons couples<br />
divorce, how men and women differ emotionally, and <strong>the</strong><br />
importance of being positive in life.<br />
Of <strong>the</strong> many fascinating tidbits he shared, Rinn said <strong>the</strong><br />
average adult needs to hear five positive comments to<br />
overcome <strong>the</strong> effects of one negative comment. He also<br />
summed up <strong>the</strong> complexity of marital relationships, stating:<br />
“Sometimes it’s smooth sailing and sometimes <strong>the</strong>y sink.<br />
That’s why <strong>the</strong>y’re called relationships.”<br />
Holly and Corbin Roush presented “Changing Lives by<br />
Opening new Areas” and shared how to build a <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
business in a new territory. Among <strong>the</strong> tips for distributors:<br />
build a new market business with close friends; hold a<br />
minimum of three home meetings; and be persistent<br />
and positive.<br />
Jeff Graham, managing director of product development<br />
for <strong>MonaVie</strong>, presented “Changing Lives with <strong>MonaVie</strong>,”<br />
in which he discussed <strong>the</strong> product formula and answered<br />

DISTRIBUTOR SPOTLIGHT<br />
LIVInG THE AMERICAn DREAM—MARC FRAnK M<strong>On</strong>TOYA<br />
What do one of <strong>the</strong> world’s top snowboarders and<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> have in common? They’re both <strong>On</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Move</strong>.<br />
Denver native and Utah transplant Marc Frank Montoya<br />
(MFM) is climbing <strong>the</strong> ranks in <strong>the</strong> world of snowboarding<br />
and in <strong>the</strong> world of <strong>MonaVie</strong>.<br />
Marc was introduced to <strong>MonaVie</strong> by a friend who thought<br />
<strong>the</strong> product would help him through a snowboarding injury<br />
he was battling. Initially Marc declined <strong>the</strong> offer, but eventually<br />
he agreed to try it, and was glad when he did. “I had<br />
a very positive experience with <strong>MonaVie</strong> and just to make<br />
sure it wasn’t <strong>the</strong> placebo effect, I sent some to ano<strong>the</strong>r pro<br />
snowboarder who had similar <strong>issue</strong>s. When he enjoyed <strong>the</strong><br />
benefits as well, I knew <strong>MonaVie</strong> was for real,” Marc says.<br />
Ever since he gained his own testimonial of <strong>the</strong> product,<br />
Marc’s <strong>MonaVie</strong> business has snowballed. He went Ruby<br />
in two months, and it doesn’t look as though he plans to<br />
slow down anytime soon. “<strong>On</strong>ce I experienced health and<br />
wealth through <strong>MonaVie</strong>, I decided that I was going to<br />
give everyone in snowboarding a chance to experience<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong>—and I know everyone in snowboarding!” Marc<br />
says.<br />
Marc didn’t become a top snowboarder by making excuses,<br />
and he didn’t let a rigorous snowboarding schedule keep<br />
him from taking on <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> opportunity. “When<br />
people say <strong>the</strong>y don’t have enough time for <strong>MonaVie</strong>, I<br />
laugh,” Marc says. “If I can find time for <strong>MonaVie</strong> in my<br />
schedule, anyone can. You’ve got to make time and stop<br />
making excuses for being unhealthy and broke.”<br />
Marc believes that <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> opportunity can set you<br />
free; it can get you out of <strong>the</strong> mindset that you have to stay<br />
in a “regular” job. “That is not <strong>the</strong> American Dream,” Marc<br />
says. “Those who come to America and start <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
businesses have <strong>the</strong> dream, not us; we have it backward.”<br />
A successful entrepreneur in his own right, Marc has his<br />
own reality TV show and even owns a couple of hotels.<br />
“Of all <strong>the</strong> business ventures I’ve been involved with,<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> is my favorite,” Marc says. “I enjoy doing<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> because I’m helping people, and I like that.<br />
I’m not in it for <strong>the</strong> money; I’ve made money.”<br />
With <strong>MonaVie</strong> providing <strong>the</strong> pathway to <strong>the</strong> American<br />
Dream, Marc encourages people to not be afraid to tell<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs about <strong>the</strong> opportunity. “You are doing people a<br />
favor by telling <strong>the</strong>m about <strong>MonaVie</strong>,” Marc says. “This is<br />
<strong>the</strong> best opportunity around, and by sharing it, you could<br />
be changing people’s lives in more ways than one.”<br />

MESSAGE In A BOTTLE<br />
M<strong>On</strong>AVIE DISTRIBUTOR OR MASTER GARDEnER?<br />
By Brian Gill<br />
IF YOU CURSE THE RAIn AnD THEn COMPLAIn WHEn THE SUn SHInES TOO HOT, YOU<br />
MAY BE MISSInG OUT <strong>On</strong> <strong>On</strong>E OF LIFE’S GREATEST PRInCIPLES. CALL IT KARMA, THE<br />
LAW OF ATTRACTI<strong>On</strong>, THE GOLDEn RULE, THE LAW OF THE HARVEST, OR AnY OF ITS<br />
OTHER M<strong>On</strong>IKERS. THIS AGE-OLD PRInCIPLE IS AGInG LIKE A FInE WInE In A WORLD OF<br />
InCREASInG nEGATIVITY. PLAnT THE SEED OF POSITIVE THInKInG In YOUR PROVERBIAL<br />
M<strong>On</strong>AVIE GARDEn AnD WATCH WHAT GROWS!<br />
When properly cared for, a garden will produce fruits and<br />
vegetables that are beneficial to <strong>the</strong> body. As useful as a<br />
garden is, however, it would be a shame if its practicality<br />
ended at <strong>the</strong> dinner table. A garden’s greatest value may<br />
be found in analogy.<br />
10 | 2nd/3rd Quarter 2007<br />
In <strong>the</strong> book As a Man Thinketh by James Allen, <strong>the</strong> author<br />
states: “A man’s mind may be likened to a garden, which<br />
may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth.<br />
If no useful seeds are put into it, <strong>the</strong>n an abundance of useless<br />
weed seeds will fall <strong>the</strong>rein, and will continue to produce<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir kind.”
PLAnTInG THE RIGHT SEEDS<br />
Have you ever approached a prospective distributor<br />
about <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> opportunity, and he wasn’t receptive?<br />
After thanking him for his time, did you say to yourself, “I<br />
knew he wouldn’t be interested”? And all <strong>the</strong> while you’re<br />
wondering how distributors in your upline seem to win <strong>the</strong><br />
interest of everyone <strong>the</strong>y talk to.<br />
What if you had <strong>the</strong> power to influence—for good—your<br />
interactions with potential distributors? The truth is that you<br />
do. The effort you put into programming your thoughts<br />
and attitude will be reflected in your interactions.<br />
THE SEEDS OF DOUBT AnD FEAR<br />
Consider <strong>the</strong> classic example of two people (let’s call <strong>the</strong>m<br />
Mike and John) who come in contact with a group of<br />
“troubled teens” on <strong>the</strong> street.<br />
Mike is a former counselor for troubled teens and, based<br />
on previous experiences, knows that deep down <strong>the</strong>se are<br />
good kids who, for one reason or ano<strong>the</strong>r, don’t understand<br />
how to get <strong>the</strong> love and acceptance <strong>the</strong>y want. Mike<br />
walks right up to <strong>the</strong> kids and starts kidding around with<br />
<strong>the</strong>m, establishing immediate rapport. Before parting, he<br />
cautions <strong>the</strong>m to stay out of trouble, and leaves with a<br />
smile. The scene played out just as he had anticipated<br />
it would.<br />
John, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, has little experience with troubled<br />
teens. In fact, <strong>the</strong> only thing he knows about troubled teens<br />
is that <strong>the</strong>y toilet papered his house last Halloween and<br />
bullied his son once after a high school football game. The<br />
pre-judgments taking place in John’s mind will be manifested<br />
in his interaction—or lack <strong>the</strong>reof—with <strong>the</strong> group.<br />
Likewise, sensing John’s fear and resentment, <strong>the</strong> troubled<br />
teens will inevitably react in such a way so as to produce<br />
<strong>the</strong> fruit of <strong>the</strong> seed John planted.<br />
Your thoughts, preconceived notions, and expectations<br />
will all be mirrored by those with whom you come in<br />
contact. By thinking positively and expecting a favorable<br />
outcome, you can greatly increase your chances of having<br />
good interactions with prospective distributors each<br />
and every time.<br />
THE SEED OF CHOICE<br />
Like a radio that offers new music with each turn of <strong>the</strong><br />
dial, life is ready and able to provide you with whatever<br />
it is you may be seeking—from <strong>the</strong> most virtuous virtue<br />
to <strong>the</strong> most visceral vice. The various frequencies on your<br />
FM/AM radio are ever-present over <strong>the</strong> airways, but it isn’t<br />
until you choose to tune into one of <strong>the</strong>m that you will hear<br />
that station’s music and bring that influence—good or<br />
bad—into your life.<br />
In life, your thoughts act as <strong>the</strong> tuner for your mind and,<br />
thus, determine what kind of mental music you listen<br />
to and are influenced by. Some popular mental music<br />
stations play music featuring negativity and co-starring<br />
self-pity. With so many options available, why spend time<br />
listening to <strong>the</strong> same old song? Commit now to wake up<br />
tomorrow with <strong>the</strong> attitude that today will be <strong>the</strong> best day<br />
of your life. Then mentally plan how your day will be successful<br />
and how you will respond to potential challenges.<br />
And don’t be surprised when you do have an extraordinary<br />
day or when people start coming into your life who share<br />
your same beliefs. After all, <strong>the</strong>y’re listening to <strong>the</strong> same<br />
station you are.<br />
now that you know you can choose to dance to a different<br />
tune—even though you may have been listening to <strong>the</strong><br />
same one for years—what kind of “mental music” will you<br />
select from <strong>this</strong> day forward? And will you be programming<br />
yourself for success?<br />
THE M<strong>On</strong>AVIE MASTER GARDEnER CHALLEnGE<br />
The garden analogy proves to be fertile soil in giving birth<br />
to some of life’s most valuable lessons. Just as seeds in a<br />
garden need sun, water, and soil to thrive, so <strong>the</strong> seeds of<br />
successful and positive thought require nurturing in <strong>the</strong><br />
form of discipline, practice, and—most importantly—belief.<br />
Take <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> Master Gardener challenge: First, define<br />
why you are passionate about <strong>MonaVie</strong>. Then, get excited<br />
about sharing that passion with o<strong>the</strong>rs and envision everyone<br />
you come into contact with embracing <strong>the</strong> opportunity.<br />
Finally, over <strong>the</strong> next week, contact at least 10 people with<br />
your new and improved mindset. The power of your positive<br />
thoughts will greatly enhance your interactions, and<br />
even if your prospect isn’t immediately receptive…you just<br />
may have planted a seed.<br />

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22<br />
With stained glass windows and a comfortable interior,<br />
Zermatt’s Matterhorn Grand Ballroom was nice enough—<br />
but was it big enough? That we were able to crowd one<br />
of Zermatt’s largest meeting rooms speaks to <strong>the</strong> growth<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> is experiencing.<br />
Dallin Larsen, <strong>MonaVie</strong> founder and president, opened by<br />
congratulating all in attendance for reaching a key milestone<br />
with <strong>MonaVie</strong>—becoming a Ruby Executive.<br />
Dallin talked about how <strong>the</strong> “e” in <strong>MonaVie</strong> means<br />
exceptional. “And while we may not yet be exceptional in<br />
all areas,” Dallin said, “we are exceptional at rewarding<br />
our distributors for a job well done.” In reference to <strong>the</strong><br />
upcoming Diamond Destination in Hawaii, Dallin asked,<br />
“We have about 40 rooms still available. Who wants to<br />
come?” Many more than 40 hands shot in <strong>the</strong> air, to which<br />
Dallin replied jokingly, “If you don’t make it <strong>this</strong> time, don’t<br />
worry; you can join us at <strong>the</strong> Diamond Destination after<br />
that in Idaho.” Or perhaps <strong>the</strong> joke was on Dallin when<br />
everyone laughed at <strong>the</strong> mention of Idaho (Dallin’s home<br />
state) as <strong>the</strong> location for a Diamond Destination.<br />

Ruby Fly-In, February 21–24, 2007 Zermatt Resort, Midway, Utah<br />
Dallin also reviewed <strong>the</strong> additional perks now available<br />
in <strong>the</strong> compensation plan. He reflected on his thought<br />
process of wanting to reward Black Diamonds with a<br />
Mercedes, Royal Black Diamonds with motor coach credits,<br />
and Presidential Black Diamonds with jet credits—but<br />
after that, he wanted to do something “out of <strong>this</strong> world.”<br />
He had a friend who works for nASA tell him once that<br />
you could take a trip to outer space for $250,000. That<br />
got Dallin thinking, so he polled <strong>the</strong> audience to see who<br />
would want to go to outer space for becoming Crown Black<br />
Diamond. With a surprising lack of interest in <strong>the</strong> offer,<br />
Dallin said that those who achieve Crown Black Diamond<br />
will simply have to settle for a $1 million cash bonus.<br />
After covering what distributors can expect from corporate,<br />
Dallin talked about what corporate expects of its distributors.<br />
He encouraged distributors to hold and come to<br />
meetings, abide by <strong>the</strong> policies and procedures, counsel<br />
with <strong>the</strong>ir uplines, advance to Black Diamond (so<br />
you can get your Mercedes), stay connected (visit<br />
www.monavieon<strong>the</strong>move.com frequently and read <strong>the</strong><br />
quarterly magazine), be positive, and welcome all members<br />
of your organization into <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> family.<br />
Maria Ramirez<br />
Maria Ramirez, member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> Board of Directors<br />
and renowned financial expert, said that she got involved<br />
with <strong>MonaVie</strong> after doing her research on <strong>the</strong> product and<br />
<strong>the</strong> company. Having worked in various capacities over <strong>the</strong><br />
years, she observed that “companies come and go, but<br />
people and relationships last.” That’s one of <strong>the</strong> reasons<br />
she is keen on <strong>MonaVie</strong>—because distributors are able<br />
to build lasting relationships. “The distribution method is<br />
proven,” said Maria. She believes that with <strong>MonaVie</strong> and<br />
<strong>the</strong> potential for worldwide expansion, opportunities are
unlimited. She closed by saying that <strong>MonaVie</strong> is on its way to<br />
dominating <strong>the</strong> nutritional beverage industry but that it couldn’t<br />
be done without <strong>the</strong> distributors. She encouraged distributors<br />
to be passionate and persevere. Maria currently serves on<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong>’s Board of Directors.<br />
Jeff Graham, Managing Director of Product Development<br />
Distributors came hungry for good, solid product information,<br />
and Jeff provided a feast. All in attendance benefited from<br />
Jeff’s overview of <strong>the</strong> product development process—from harvesting<br />
<strong>the</strong> açai berry in Brazil to bottling <strong>the</strong> finished product<br />
here in <strong>the</strong> United States. During his presentation, Jeff also<br />
made <strong>the</strong>se exciting announcements: (1) <strong>MonaVie</strong> has added<br />
a new state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art bottling line with increased capacity, (2)<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> products are now scanned with a new x-ray machine<br />
for added quality assurance, and (3) <strong>MonaVie</strong> Active has been<br />
tested and proven to be free from all banned substances and,<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore, is safe for use by all athletes.<br />
Dell Brown, General Manager<br />
Dell confirmed what we all already knew—that <strong>MonaVie</strong> is<br />
growing! More than that, he demonstrated what <strong>MonaVie</strong> is<br />
doing to keep up with and stay ahead of current economic<br />
trends. Dell assured distributors that all departments at<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong>—from marketing and events to product develop-<br />
ment and distributor support—are working to support <strong>the</strong>m<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir business.<br />
Wayne Moorehead, Vice President of Marketing<br />
The focus of Wayne’s message was “People don’t buy products;<br />
<strong>the</strong>y buy brands.” His point was illustrated by <strong>the</strong> typical<br />
consumer who goes to <strong>the</strong> store to buy Cheerios, not cereal;<br />
Pepsi, not soda; and Crest, not toothpaste. Wayne continued<br />
by saying that in order to effectively propagate <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
brand, two crucial interactions must successfully take place:<br />
(1) <strong>the</strong> interaction between <strong>the</strong> distributor and <strong>the</strong> product, and<br />
(2) <strong>the</strong> interaction between <strong>the</strong> distributor and <strong>the</strong> customer.<br />
“<strong>MonaVie</strong> is a product for everyone,” Wayne stated, “and we<br />
have a great selection of marketing materials and sales tools to<br />
reach various consumer preferences.” These materials include<br />
<strong>the</strong> new <strong>MonaVie</strong> bottle and box, <strong>the</strong> new Distributor Kit, and<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r literature (e.g., brochures, magazines, and DVDs). All of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se items now sport <strong>the</strong> new look and feel, upon which we<br />
will continue to build our brand going forward.<br />
David Racz, Vice President of Distributor Services<br />
After reconvening from lunch, we were introduced to one of <strong>the</strong><br />
newest members of <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> corporate team, David Racz.<br />
A true champion of <strong>the</strong> distributor cause, David shared his vision<br />
of leading and coaching a top-notch Distributor Services organization<br />
and ensuring that each member of <strong>the</strong> corporate team<br />
creates a sense of partnership with distributors to help ensure<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir success. In summing up David’s own view of his goals for<br />
<strong>the</strong> organization, he shared <strong>the</strong> well-known mantra from <strong>the</strong><br />
movie Top Gun: We want to be “<strong>the</strong> best of <strong>the</strong> best.”<br />
Charlie Brink, Cofounder and Executive Director, MORE Project<br />
If <strong>the</strong>re was one <strong>the</strong>me that seemed to characterize <strong>this</strong> Ruby<br />
Fly-In, it was <strong>the</strong> incredible strides that <strong>the</strong> MORE Project is<br />
taking to reach out to more people in more effective ways.<br />
Charlie announced that <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> Board of Directors<br />
recently approved that <strong>the</strong> MORE Project receive $200,000<br />
a year for 10 years to cover its administrative costs. This is<br />
enough to ensure that 100 percent of all money donated to <strong>the</strong><br />
MORE Project goes directly to helping those in need.<br />
Sergio Ponce, Director, MORE Project Brazil<br />
A travel-weary Sergio seemed no worse for wear once he<br />
began talking about <strong>the</strong> MORE Project. Filled with love and<br />
passion for a cause that is bigger than all of us, Sergio stated,<br />
“It’s not about me; <strong>this</strong> is a much greater work.” If <strong>the</strong> children<br />
of Brazil are feeling <strong>the</strong> same love and excitement that embodies<br />
Sergio, it’s no wonder miracles are happening in <strong>the</strong> lives<br />
of those <strong>the</strong> MORE Project touches. With <strong>the</strong> MORE Project’s<br />
new focus on “teaching people to fish,” Sergio says it will take<br />
more than just love and passion to accomplish <strong>the</strong> work. For<br />
<strong>the</strong> work to continue thriving, he said we need money, organization,<br />
and vision.<br />
“While <strong>the</strong> people of Brazil lack in many basic things, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
seem full of <strong>the</strong> higher human attributes. These people are<br />
needy, yet deserving. When we align with Sergio and <strong>the</strong><br />
MORE Project, we have <strong>the</strong> opportunity to help. And, as we<br />
succeed in our <strong>MonaVie</strong> businesses, we should help. That<br />
is our business. For none of us can be successful without<br />
helping o<strong>the</strong>rs.“<br />
—Beckee VanWagner<br />
Blue Diamond Executive, Clermont, Florida<br />
Dallin Larsen, <strong>MonaVie</strong> Founder and President<br />
Touched by <strong>the</strong> emotion Sergio had introduced into <strong>the</strong><br />
meeting, Dallin felt inspired to share two of his own personal<br />
experiences in Brazil. The first was about a clown named<br />
Popcorn who, after tirelessly entertaining children at a MORE<br />
Project function, cried like a baby as he told Sergio that he had<br />
waited for such an opportunity for nine long years. His clo<strong>the</strong>s<br />
drenched with sweat and his face wet with tears, Popcorn<br />
embodied <strong>the</strong> spirit of <strong>the</strong> MORE Project that day.<br />
Dallin told of ano<strong>the</strong>r story in which a young boy clung to his<br />
wife, Karree, for over an hour, basking in <strong>the</strong> arms of her love.<br />
Dallin speculated that <strong>the</strong> boy couldn’t let go because that may<br />
have been <strong>the</strong> first time in his life he had felt love.<br />
With <strong>the</strong> tone of <strong>the</strong> meeting such as it was, Dallin opened <strong>the</strong><br />
floor up to distributors to share experiences of how <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />
and <strong>the</strong> MORE Project have touched <strong>the</strong>ir lives.<br />

Ruby Executives, Pembroke Pines, Florida<br />
Friday, February 23<br />
Friday is “Fun-day” at a <strong>MonaVie</strong> Ruby Fly-In. This time was<br />
no exception. With a choice between skiing on world-class<br />
slopes; shopping and dining at Park City’s renowned Main<br />
Street shops; and getting pampered at a first-class, Europeaninspired<br />
spa, distributors had some tough choices to make.<br />
But those are <strong>the</strong> kind of tough choices our <strong>MonaVie</strong> distributors<br />
don’t mind making.<br />
Thanks to all of you who participated in <strong>the</strong> February 2007<br />
Ruby Fly-In. now that you’re a part of <strong>the</strong> fourth graduating<br />
class of <strong>MonaVie</strong> Ruby Executives, it’s time to qualify<br />
as a Diamond Executive so that we can treat you to a<br />

ROBERT ADDIE FROM LAKE WORTH, FLORIDA, HAD TO SAY.<br />
Having a servant’s heart<br />
Our success has been helped by staying true to <strong>the</strong> philosophy and<br />
belief that <strong>MonaVie</strong> is a business of having a servant’s heart. To truly<br />
succeed, we believe you must operate with an attitude of “Mission-<br />
Team-Me.” First, be dedicated to <strong>the</strong> Mission—that’s <strong>MonaVie</strong> and<br />
its message of health and opportunity. Second, be dedicated to<br />
supporting your team members on <strong>the</strong>ir path to success. Lastly, focus<br />
on yourself.<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> is <strong>the</strong> great equalizer because it allows AnY<strong>On</strong>E—no<br />
matter what race, religion, creed, socio-economic status, or age—to<br />
achieve <strong>the</strong>ir dreams and find financial freedom and better health.<br />
<strong>MonaVie</strong> is so much more than a juice; it’s so much more than a<br />
compensation plan; it’s so much more than <strong>the</strong> MORE Project; it’s so<br />
much more than a chance to help o<strong>the</strong>rs succeed; it’s a family with a<br />
bigger cause and a bigger purpose than any one of us could handle<br />
by ourselves. It’s <strong>the</strong> power of many.<br />

questions from distributors about how to position <strong>the</strong> product<br />
to interested prospects.<br />
The Virtual Office<br />
Preston stewart, cEo of Xennsoft and creator of Monavie’s virtual<br />
Office, was <strong>the</strong> presenter of “Your <strong>MonaVie</strong> Lifeline: The<br />
Virtual Office.” Stewart walked distributors through <strong>the</strong> online<br />
interface and showed <strong>the</strong>m how to use its numerous features,<br />
including how to set up AutoShip and how to read <strong>the</strong> PEAR<br />
(personally enrolled activity) report.<br />
Determined to defeat <strong>the</strong> odds<br />
The convention’s keynote speaker was Mike Durant, a U.S.<br />
Army helicopter pilot who was shot down in Somalia during a<br />
rescue attempt and was <strong>the</strong> inspiration for <strong>the</strong> major motion<br />
picture Black Hawk Down.<br />
“I was determined to defeat <strong>the</strong>se odds,” Durant said,<br />
describing <strong>the</strong> brutal injuries he sustained in <strong>the</strong> helicopter<br />
crash and subsequent imprisonment by Somali guerillas.<br />
Durant was finally released by his captors, though all of his<br />
fellow crew members were killed.<br />
“If you quit in anything in life, you have predetermined <strong>the</strong><br />
outcome,” he said, encouraging distributors to think strategically<br />
about <strong>the</strong>ir business and overcome obstacles <strong>the</strong>y<br />
may face.<br />

<strong>the</strong> remarkable benefits of fruits and<br />
vegetables and <strong>the</strong> role <strong>the</strong>y play in<br />
promoting health and fighting disease.<br />
Antioxidants help prevent <strong>the</strong> oxidation<br />
of chemicals in your body, which can<br />
be intensified by various behaviors,<br />
including exercising, poor dieting,<br />
smoking, and excessive exposure to<br />
ultraviolet rays. If left alone, oxidation<br />
produces free radical molecules, which<br />
can cause oxidative stress. This oxidative<br />
stress can damage your body’s cells and<br />
increase your risk for certain diseases.<br />
Eating antioxidant-rich foods—like fruits<br />
and vegetables—can enhance your<br />
body’s antioxidant defenses. The USDA<br />
recommends that <strong>the</strong> average person<br />
consume 5,000 oxygen radical absorbance<br />
capacity (ORAC) units daily to<br />
maintain a healthy level of antioxidants<br />
in <strong>the</strong> body. However, research shows<br />
only 5 percent of Americans consume<br />
five servings of fruits or vegetables<br />
daily. In addition, less than 1 percent<br />
of Americans consume nine or more<br />
servings, <strong>the</strong> USDA’s daily ORAC<br />
recommendation.<br />
“Rock Like This”<br />
Whitney Olsen kicked off <strong>the</strong> final day of convention with her<br />
self-penned song, “Rock Like This.” Afterward, Dallin recognized<br />
Emerald and Ruby distributors and announced that <strong>the</strong><br />
Diamond Destination will take place aboard a Caribbean<br />
cruise ship April 27–May 4, 2008, sailing from San Juan,<br />
Puerto Rico. He also announced that <strong>the</strong> Black Diamond<br />
Celebration will travel <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean July 21–30, 2008,<br />
with stops in Italy, France, Spain, Turkey, and Greece.<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> announcements, <strong>MonaVie</strong> executives presented<br />
short videos featuring distributors who have achieved<br />
enormous success. Many of <strong>the</strong>m stated <strong>the</strong>y were blessed to<br />
have achieved so much in such a short time and encouraged<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rs to follow <strong>the</strong>ir lead.<br />
“As long as you don’t quit, you won’t fail,” said Sue Olsen,<br />
who provided one of <strong>the</strong> more emotional moments of <strong>the</strong><br />
convention when she took <strong>the</strong> stage and played “His River,<br />
His Peace” on <strong>the</strong> piano.<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> videos, Dallin closed <strong>the</strong> event with a warm<br />
thank you to convention staff and attendees and extended<br />
an invitation to next year’s convention, which he promised<br />
would be even bigger and better.<br />
We hope to see you <strong>the</strong>re!<br />

As scientists have discovered, our parents<br />
and grandparents were right. While an<br />
apple a day may not keep <strong>the</strong> doctor<br />
away, <strong>the</strong> underlying principle—main-<br />
taining a diet rich in fruits and vegetables—is<br />
key to long-lasting health<br />
and wellness.<br />
