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 />

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 />

you to eat an abundant amount of fruits<br />

and vegetables to stay healthy and fit.<br />

Today, research and science have shown<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 />

vegetable known in <strong>the</strong> world today—<br />

promote health and wellness, açai also<br />

activity of any fruit or vegetable,<br />

damaging free radicals.<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 />
