Ruby Fly-In Recap<br />

Success Is a Habit—<br />

Get Addicted!


president’s<br />

message<br />

Dear <strong>MonaVie</strong> Family,<br />

I hope <strong>this</strong> <strong>issue</strong> of <strong>MonaVie</strong> <strong>On</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Move</strong> finds you and your family healthy and enjoying <strong>the</strong> benefits of <strong>this</strong><br />

wonderful product and opportunity.<br />

When we started <strong>MonaVie</strong>, we talked about how we value <strong>the</strong> contribution of each distributor. We also talked<br />

about working toge<strong>the</strong>r to reach our potential. While many companies have said similar things, I believe<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> has put its money where its mouth is. We’ve offered you, our pioneering group of distributor leaders,<br />

<strong>the</strong> opportunity to participate in our generous stock option program.<br />

Beginning at our first Ruby Fly-In <strong>this</strong> past January, and continuing with our September and October Ruby Fly-Ins,<br />

it’s been our pleasure to present Ruby Stock Option Certificates to almost 200 Ruby Executives and above. This<br />

is <strong>the</strong>ir company, and it can be your company too.<br />

Thanks to <strong>the</strong> tireless efforts of Charlie Brink and Amy Cowley, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve extended <strong>the</strong><br />

Ruby Stock Option Program for one more group of up-and-coming <strong>MonaVie</strong> leaders.<br />

Now through December 31, 2006, <strong>the</strong> first 150 distributors to reach <strong>the</strong> rank of Ruby Executive will have <strong>the</strong><br />

opportunity to participate in our Ruby Stock Option Program, which allows you to own a piece of <strong>MonaVie</strong>.<br />

Those who qualify will have <strong>the</strong> opportunity to earn up to 1,000 options of <strong>MonaVie</strong> stock—250 shares<br />

each for reaching <strong>the</strong> ranks of Ruby, Emerald, Diamond, and Blue Diamond. Remember: to be in <strong>this</strong> group<br />

of participants, you must be one of <strong>the</strong> next 150 Ruby Executives, and you must reach <strong>the</strong> rank of Ruby by<br />

December 31, 2006.<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> is your business; now let’s make it your company!<br />

Let’s get out <strong>the</strong>re and I-T-S (Invite, Taste, and Share) with more people every<br />

day. I look forward to seeing you in <strong>the</strong> coming months at one of our upcoming<br />

distributor or Regional Meetings.<br />

Carpe diem,<br />

Dallin A. Larsen<br />

Founder and President, <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

convention 006<br />

a grand adventure indeed!<br />

day 1<br />

For many, convention started on Thursday,<br />

September 17—ei<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> golf tournament<br />

or a tour of <strong>the</strong> corporate office and<br />

warehouse. The wea<strong>the</strong>r proved favorable for<br />

golfing at <strong>the</strong> picturesque Bountiful Ridge Golf<br />

Course. A good time was had by all, but <strong>the</strong><br />

sun shone most brightly on <strong>the</strong> winners of <strong>the</strong><br />

various competitions, such as closest to <strong>the</strong><br />

pin, lowest score, and longest drive. Those<br />

participating in <strong>the</strong> tours were able to see firsthand<br />

what goes on at <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s warehouse<br />

facility, as well as <strong>the</strong> corporate office, which<br />

is home to <strong>the</strong> executive team and various<br />

departments, such as marketing, customer care,<br />

distributor relations, legal, and IT.<br />

day<br />

The first general session started with a bang<br />

Friday morning (September 18) with Dallin<br />

Larsen, <strong>MonaVie</strong> founder and president, giving<br />

a State of <strong>the</strong> Company address. Those in<br />

attendance were pleased and perhaps surprised<br />

to hear that <strong>the</strong>re would be an astounding 34<br />

brand-new Diamond Executives walking across<br />

<strong>the</strong> stage <strong>this</strong> year—a true mark of <strong>the</strong> progress<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> has made in just over a year.<br />

If <strong>the</strong> audience was pleased with what <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

had done, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y were downright excited<br />

with what was to come. <strong>MonaVie</strong> delivered in<br />

a big way when <strong>the</strong>y unveiled <strong>the</strong> elegant, new<br />

bottle design and announced <strong>the</strong> Your Business<br />

at Home magazine. The new bottle spoke for<br />

itself with its simple yet striking appeal. If <strong>the</strong><br />

word “sexy” can be applied to a bottle, <strong>the</strong>n<br />

<strong>the</strong> new bottle is sexy! The magazine seemed to<br />

have people speaking for it, heralded by Black<br />

Diamond Executive Angel Matos as <strong>the</strong><br />

finest distributor tool he’d ever seen<br />

introduced in network marketing.<br />

With third-party credibility and<br />

full-page features on <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s<br />

executive team, <strong>the</strong> açai berry, <strong>the</strong><br />

M.O.R.E. Project, distributor field<br />

leaders, and more, <strong>this</strong> magazine<br />

is poised to help bring <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

to <strong>the</strong> masses.<br />

If anyone thought <strong>the</strong>y<br />

would be able to catch a<br />

nap during <strong>the</strong> scientific<br />

presentations, <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

mistaken. Drs. Carson and<br />

Schauss captivated <strong>the</strong><br />

audience with invaluable<br />

information on <strong>the</strong> açai<br />

berry, <strong>the</strong> latest scientific<br />

research, and <strong>the</strong> potential<br />

benefits that <strong>MonaVie</strong> and<br />

açai may hold for people<br />

facing many of today’s<br />

health <strong>issue</strong>s.<br />

Before breaking for lunch,<br />

we heard from Phil Driscoll.<br />

You may not have known<br />

Phil before you came to<br />

convention, but you knew<br />

on <strong>the</strong> move


him before you left. Driscoll, a Grammy awardwinning<br />

contemporary/jazz music artist, has a<br />

soothing voice and out-of-<strong>this</strong>-world trumpet skills.<br />

He kept <strong>the</strong> audience entertained morning, noon, and<br />

night with his interactive style and familiar tunes.<br />

After lunch on Friday, distributors got a taste of<br />

business on <strong>the</strong> corporate side of things as <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

directors reported on <strong>the</strong>ir various stewardships,<br />

including marketing, international, compliance,<br />

customer service, facilities, and product supply.<br />

Henry Marsh, <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s executive vice president and<br />

cofounder, acted as master of ceremonies throughout<br />

and helped facilitate <strong>the</strong> recognition of distributors.<br />

The Star 500 through Gold Executive ranks were first<br />

to be recognized. The sea of names that filled <strong>the</strong><br />

big screen was ano<strong>the</strong>r testament to <strong>the</strong> growth that<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> is experiencing.<br />

Following <strong>this</strong> recognition, Henry introduced his<br />

friend and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Peter<br />

Vidmar. Dressed in full gymnastics garb and with his<br />

pommel horse in tow, Vidmar let us know that we<br />

were in for something special. Risk, Originality, and<br />

Virtuosity—that was <strong>the</strong> title of his message; he used<br />

<strong>the</strong> pommel horse to illustrate just what <strong>the</strong>se three<br />

points mean and how <strong>the</strong>y can set you apart from<br />

<strong>the</strong> ordinary in <strong>the</strong> business world and in life. Vidmar<br />

put <strong>the</strong> exclamation point on his speech when he<br />

performed flawlessly his gold-medal winning pommel<br />

horse routine that earned him a perfect 10 at <strong>the</strong><br />

1984 Olympics. If you ask Peter how he can still do<br />

that routine some 22 years later, he’ll say, “Because I<br />

never stopped.”<br />

day<br />

It was <strong>the</strong> sweet sounds of Phil Driscoll that welcomed<br />

distributors into <strong>the</strong>ir seats on Saturday morning.<br />

You could sense that everyone had enjoyed <strong>the</strong> first<br />

and second days of convention and that <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

now ready for more. If <strong>the</strong> first couple days were fun<br />

and exciting, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> third was inspirational. Packed<br />

with Black Diamond documentaries, recognition,<br />

and a special video tribute to <strong>the</strong> M.O.R.E. Project,<br />

<strong>the</strong> last day of convention brought tears to eyes and<br />

motivation to hearts. Ah! But <strong>the</strong>re was a bit of exciting<br />

october 2006<br />

news reserved for today: <strong>the</strong> Diamond Destination<br />

2007 announcement.<br />

Those in attendance will remember <strong>the</strong> ligh<strong>the</strong>arted<br />

Ukulele Bay video depicting where “<strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

companies” take <strong>the</strong>ir distributors. In stark contrast<br />

to Ukulele Bay, <strong>MonaVie</strong> showed where <strong>the</strong>y will<br />

take <strong>the</strong>ir top distributors, with an enchanting video<br />

revealing <strong>the</strong> Grand Wailea Resort in Maui, Hawaii,<br />

as <strong>the</strong> location for Diamond Destination 2007. If<br />

Ukulele Bay is canned tuna, <strong>the</strong>n <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s Diamond<br />

Destination 2007 in Hawaii is fresh mahi-mahi.<br />

Henry Marsh was <strong>the</strong> keynote speaker for Saturday’s<br />

morning session. We won’t soon forget <strong>the</strong> footage he<br />

showed of his race in <strong>the</strong> 3,000-meter steeplechase<br />

in <strong>the</strong> 1984 Olympics. Favored to win <strong>the</strong> event but<br />

plagued with a flu-like virus and <strong>the</strong> distraction of a<br />

spectator who decided to join <strong>the</strong> race au naturel,<br />

Henry finished fourth but showed <strong>the</strong> heart of a<br />

champion by giving it his all and bouncing back<br />

<strong>the</strong> next year to have his best year ever, setting an<br />

American record in <strong>the</strong> same event (a record that held<br />

for 21 years).<br />

Perhaps <strong>the</strong> most touching portion<br />

of all of convention was <strong>the</strong><br />

M.O.R.E. Project video tribute that<br />

featured <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s recent trip to<br />

Brazil as well as <strong>the</strong> recent climb<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Grand Teton. Personal<br />

stories, individual triumphs, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> deserving children of Brazil<br />

who benefited from all of your generous donations to<br />

<strong>the</strong> M.O.R.E. Project were highlighted by Charlie Brink<br />

(<strong>MonaVie</strong> executive vice president and cofounder)<br />

and punctuated by <strong>the</strong> humble yet profound words of<br />

a grateful Sergio Ponce, who directs <strong>the</strong> efforts of <strong>the</strong><br />

M.O.R.E. Project in Brazil.<br />

Recognizing <strong>the</strong> hard work and success of <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

field leaders was <strong>the</strong> focus of <strong>the</strong> last day. Top<br />

Enrollers, Top Income Earners, Top Star Makers,<br />

Emeralds, Diamonds, Blue Diamonds, and Black<br />

Diamonds all found <strong>the</strong>ir way to <strong>the</strong> stage to be<br />

recognized by <strong>the</strong>ir peers and to take a moment to<br />

reflect on what <strong>the</strong>y’ve been able to accomplish in a<br />

relatively short amount of time. Prior to convention,


<strong>MonaVie</strong>’s media team visited <strong>MonaVie</strong> Black<br />

Diamonds in <strong>the</strong>ir respective hometowns. After<br />

conducting personal interviews, we became familiar<br />

with <strong>the</strong>ir homes, <strong>the</strong>ir interests, and <strong>the</strong>ir families—<br />

and, through <strong>the</strong>se documentaries, so did you. Bob<br />

and Linda Robinson were first up. Following <strong>the</strong>ir Black<br />

Diamond documentary, <strong>the</strong> Robinsons came on stage<br />

and spoke to <strong>the</strong> audience. This format was followed<br />

for <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r Black Diamonds as well, including Todd<br />

and Stephanie Smith, Steve and Gina Merritt, Darrell<br />

and Tracy Utterbach, Brig and Lita Hart, and Charlie<br />

and Debbie Kalb. To capture <strong>the</strong> brilliance of each of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir messages in a short convention recap would be<br />

an improbable task. But picture it like <strong>this</strong>: <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s<br />

most successful leaders (not to mention dynamic<br />

speakers) on stage telling <strong>the</strong>ir stories and giving <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

all to an audience of eager listeners. You felt as if you<br />

didn’t know what to do first—increase your intake of<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> or run out <strong>the</strong> door and start building your<br />

independent <strong>MonaVie</strong> business.<br />

A fitting end to our Grand Adventure-<strong>the</strong>med<br />

convention was keynote speaker Todd Skinner. He<br />

took our collective breaths away with <strong>the</strong> account of<br />

his climb up Trango Tower in Pakistan’s Karakoram<br />

Himalayas. It was literally a death-defying expedition.<br />

Thankfully, Todd and his team survived, and we were<br />

able to benefit from <strong>the</strong> pearls of wisdom and life<br />

lessons he shared with us.<br />

Before <strong>the</strong> big event, Dallin and o<strong>the</strong>rs promised<br />

that convention would be well worth <strong>the</strong> price of<br />

admission—and <strong>MonaVie</strong> delivered in a big way.<br />

If you didn’t make it to <strong>this</strong> year’s convention, start<br />

packing your bags now for next year’s convention<br />

(May 31–June 2, 2007)…you won’t want to miss it!<br />

<strong>the</strong> m.o.r.e. project<br />

funds raised at convention and through<br />

“<strong>the</strong> climb” help efforts in brazil<br />

Slum: a densely populated usually urban<br />

area marked by crowding, dirty run-down<br />

housing, poverty, and social disorganization<br />

(Source: Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary)<br />

If you grew up in a nice suburban neighborhood<br />

or a small town in rural America, it’ll be hard<br />

to imagine why Brazil’s youth are “escaping to<br />

<strong>the</strong> streets.” But that is <strong>the</strong> reality for many youth<br />

who grow up in <strong>the</strong> slums of Brazil. They leave<br />

<strong>the</strong> slums because <strong>the</strong>y don’t have love, care,<br />

opportunity, family, or a future. What <strong>the</strong>y find on<br />

<strong>the</strong> streets is a life that isn’t at all greener on <strong>the</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r side.<br />

Trading one proverbial barren wasteland for<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r, many of Brazil’s youth leave <strong>the</strong> slum<br />

<strong>the</strong>y grew up in searching for a better life, only to<br />

find a life of drugs, gangs, prostitution, disease,<br />

poverty, and, most likely, early and unfortunate<br />

death on <strong>the</strong> streets.<br />

Sergio Ponce, director of <strong>the</strong> M.O.R.E. Project in<br />

Brazil, has witnessed <strong>this</strong> cycle again and again.<br />

He and his parents have spent <strong>the</strong> better part of<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir philanthropic careers rescuing children from<br />

<strong>the</strong> streets.<br />

Charity: (2a) generosity and helpfulness<br />

especially toward <strong>the</strong> needy or suffering; also<br />

aid given to those in need (2b) an institution<br />

engaged in relief of <strong>the</strong> poor<br />

(Source: Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary)<br />

on <strong>the</strong> move<br />

Your donation is helping to:<br />

• Furnish, renovate, and<br />

improve existing facilities, day<br />

care centers, and projects<br />

• Launch <strong>the</strong> first <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

Professional School<br />

• Transition from “putting out<br />

fires” to “preventing fires”<br />

• Bring hope<br />

“The funds raised at convention and through <strong>the</strong><br />

M.O.R.E. Project’s ‘The Climb’ have been a huge<br />

help to us,” says Sergio. “We plan to use <strong>the</strong><br />

hard-earned contributions of <strong>MonaVie</strong> distributors<br />

and employees to fund and improve some of our<br />

current projects.”<br />

Believe Project<br />

Purpose: To provide children, whose parents or<br />

families work all day, with education, medical<br />

care, and meals. Also to provide <strong>the</strong> families,<br />

especially single parents, with training to obtain a<br />

job and improve <strong>the</strong> quality of life for <strong>the</strong>ir family.<br />

Plan: Furnish <strong>the</strong> house and add a kitchen and a<br />

dentist office (with supplies).<br />

Fa<strong>the</strong>r’s House<br />

Purpose: To foster a healthy social life, promote<br />

personal improvement and independence,<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>n family bonds, and work to reduce <strong>the</strong><br />

violence rate among <strong>the</strong> youth and within <strong>the</strong><br />

community.<br />

Plan: Furnish <strong>the</strong> house and make improvements.<br />

Family Rescue House<br />

Purpose: To provide a home and “social parents”<br />

to abandoned or homeless youth.<br />

Plan: Renovate and restore <strong>the</strong> houses.<br />

Day Care <strong>Center</strong><br />

Purpose: To care for approximately 50 needy<br />

children.<br />

Plan: Provide breakfasts and lunches for <strong>the</strong><br />

children (<strong>this</strong> will enable <strong>the</strong> center to stay open<br />

and allow <strong>the</strong> volunteers that work <strong>the</strong>re to<br />

continue <strong>the</strong>ir noble service).


Industry: (1) diligence in an employment or<br />

pursuit; especially steady or habitual effort<br />

(2a) systematic labor especially for some<br />

useful purpose or <strong>the</strong> creation of something<br />

of value<br />

(Source: Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary)<br />

“In addition to <strong>the</strong>se existing programs, we plan to<br />

start <strong>the</strong> first <strong>MonaVie</strong> Professional School,” says<br />

Sergio. “I’ve been thinking of what we can do to<br />

change reality for <strong>the</strong> youth of Brazil earlier. We<br />

rescue kids off <strong>the</strong> street all <strong>the</strong> time, but our goal<br />

now is to start a program that will help children<br />

before <strong>the</strong>y turn to <strong>the</strong> streets.”<br />

At <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> Professional School, students<br />

won’t be wondering when <strong>the</strong>y’ll ever use what<br />

<strong>the</strong>y’re learning “in <strong>the</strong> real world.” All of <strong>the</strong><br />

classes are designed to teach <strong>the</strong>m real-life skills<br />

to help <strong>the</strong>m become self-sufficient and provide<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir families. Students will learn how to silk<br />

screen; make clothing; use computers; speak,<br />

read, and write English; cut hair; do nails and<br />

perform es<strong>the</strong>tic massages; cook; and more.<br />

The money raised for <strong>the</strong> children of Brazil will<br />

positively impact <strong>the</strong>ir lives in ways that we may<br />

never know. How can we ever discern or express<br />

in words how a child feels who yesterday had<br />

nothing but today has <strong>the</strong> necessities of life—<br />

food, clothing, shelter, and love. And who, today,<br />

is able to look toward a brighter future because of<br />

<strong>the</strong> education and training <strong>the</strong>y receive.<br />

Hope: to cherish a desire with anticipation<br />

(Source: Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary)<br />

While Sergio’s efforts and <strong>the</strong> efforts of <strong>the</strong><br />

M.O.R.E. Project have <strong>the</strong>ir brick-and-mortar<br />

manifestations, it’s<br />

wednesday, september 20<br />

This year’s Ruby Fly-In at <strong>the</strong> beautiful Zermatt<br />

Resort in Midway, Utah, began Wednesday evening<br />

with a welcome reception and dinner. You could feel<br />

<strong>the</strong> excitement in <strong>the</strong> air as old friends reunited and<br />

as new Ruby Executives had <strong>the</strong> chance to mix and<br />

mingle with each o<strong>the</strong>r, laying <strong>the</strong> foundation on<br />

which future friendships would be built.<br />

thursday, september 21<br />

Thursday began much like Wednesday ended—with<br />

scrumptious food; a welcome from Dallin Larsen,<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> founder and president; and people getting<br />

to know one ano<strong>the</strong>r. Following a touching tribute<br />

to <strong>the</strong> M.O.R.E. Project, Dallin opened <strong>the</strong> floor to<br />

anyone who wanted to share his or her <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

testimonial. Those in attendance were fortunate to<br />

hear <strong>the</strong> heart-felt stories and amazing experiences<br />

people are having with <strong>the</strong> product and <strong>the</strong><br />

business. (Can anyone remember how many times<br />

Dallin said, “Okay, let’s just do one more”?) <strong>On</strong>e<br />

distributor leader shared a poem that seemed to<br />

capture <strong>the</strong> essence of <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> day’s content.<br />

a very cautious man<br />

There was a very cautious man<br />

who never laughed or cried.<br />

He never risked, he never lost,<br />

he never won nor tried.<br />

And when he one day passed away<br />

his insurance was denied,<br />

For since he never really lived,<br />

<strong>the</strong>y claimed he never died.<br />

—Unknown<br />

Living life to <strong>the</strong> fullest was a common <strong>the</strong>me as<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> Black Diamonds spoke to <strong>the</strong> audience<br />

later in <strong>the</strong> afternoon. But <strong>the</strong> balance of <strong>the</strong><br />

morning was devoted to corporate updates: Jeff<br />

Graham, director of product development, told us<br />

how <strong>MonaVie</strong> is helping to preserve <strong>the</strong> Amazon<br />

rainforest; Dallin Larsen, founder and president,<br />

covered Diamond Destination in Hawaii (September<br />

8–13, 2007), monthly calls, regional meetings, and<br />

Convention 2007 (May 31–June 2, 2007); Dell<br />

Brown, general manager, showed us what <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

is doing to support its growing distributor force;<br />

and Wayne Moorehead,<br />

director of marketing,<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong>-branded semi<br />

trucks, and <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

parachuting team that will<br />

“drop in” on events across<br />

<strong>the</strong> country.<br />

Thank you for treating us to a<br />

wonderful Ruby Fly-In at <strong>the</strong> Zermatt<br />

Resort in Midway, Utah. My husband<br />

and I thought we knew what<br />

<strong>this</strong> company was all about, but we<br />

had no idea! Last week opened our<br />

eyes as to what kind of company—<br />

and <strong>the</strong> quality of people—we are<br />

involved with. We were blown away<br />

by how well we were treated by<br />

everyone. I know you must hear it<br />

all <strong>the</strong> time, but thank you so much<br />

for everything you do, for what you<br />

stand for, and, once again, for <strong>the</strong><br />

awesome time we had in Utah.<br />

After a nice lunch break,<br />

distributors were treated to<br />

an encouraging news clip<br />

out of Florida that aired<br />

on NBC and featured <strong>the</strong><br />

açai berry, with mention of<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong>. Following <strong>this</strong>, we got to hear from our<br />

Black Diamonds (many of whom are responsible<br />

for <strong>the</strong> press açai is getting in <strong>the</strong> Florida area),<br />

including Charlie and Debbie Kalb, Bob and Linda<br />

Robinson, Holly and Corbin Roush (Tulsa, OK), and<br />

Royal Black Diamond Gina Merritt (you’ll find out<br />

where Steve was later). It was a special privilege to<br />

hear from our newest Black Diamonds as well: <strong>On</strong>yx<br />

Coale and Scott and Sue Olsen (Angel and Sandra<br />

Matos, also new Black Diamonds, were unable to<br />

attend).<br />

Capping off an exciting first day were Brig and Lita<br />

Hart (<strong>MonaVie</strong>’s first Black Diamonds), who gave<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir own <strong>MonaVie</strong> testimonials followed by an<br />

education in how to do <strong>this</strong> business by Professor<br />

Brig Hart himself. Minds were sharpened and<br />

pencils dulled as new Rubys and Black Diamonds<br />

alike benefited from Brig and Lita’s presentation.<br />

Those taking notes likely wrote down <strong>the</strong> 4 P’s, <strong>the</strong><br />

10-10-10-30-40 rule, and <strong>the</strong> Five Things to Tell<br />

People about Placement and Sponsorship. But, in<br />

<strong>the</strong> end, it all boiled down to ITS—inviting, tasting,<br />

and sharing <strong>MonaVie</strong>.<br />

Ano<strong>the</strong>r highlight—that happened to occur during<br />

Brig’s presentation—was Gina Merritt’s joyful<br />

eruption after receiving word via text message<br />

(from her husband Steve) that Raimi, <strong>the</strong> Merritts’<br />

daughter, had just won 1st place in <strong>the</strong> WWA<br />

Wakeboard World Championships (held in Ft.<br />

Worth, Texas). Brig said, “Let’s call Steve.” Gina put<br />

success is a habit.<br />

get addicted!<br />

By Brian Gill<br />

Is it by chance that <strong>the</strong> Roger Federers and<br />

<strong>the</strong> Tiger Woodses of <strong>the</strong> world dominate<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir sports? What about <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s top field<br />

leaders…do <strong>the</strong>y wake up each morning and<br />

wonder what it is <strong>the</strong>y’re doing right? Highly<br />

unlikely.<br />

Let’s take a look at <strong>the</strong> 10-Step Pattern for Success<br />

found in <strong>the</strong> M.A.P. (<strong>MonaVie</strong> Action Plan)* and see<br />

how <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s top field leaders are achieving <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

success.<br />

1<br />

determine your “why” and your<br />

dreams for monavie<br />

The human spirit can be an indomitable force. It is<br />

often said that if you have a big enough “why,” <strong>the</strong>n<br />

you can overcome any “how,” and accomplish that<br />

which you set your mind to. Think about why you are<br />

in <strong>this</strong> business—do you want more time with your<br />

family, more flexible working hours, better health,<br />

or a better career opportunity?—and write it in <strong>the</strong><br />

space provided below.<br />

My “why” is: ________________________________<br />

___________________________________________<br />

___________________________________________<br />

___________________________________________.<br />

This is my <strong>MonaVie</strong> dream.<br />

set goals<br />

Too many dreams remain just that (a dream) for<br />

lack of effective goal-setting. We’ve heard it all<br />

our lives—“set realistic yet challenging goals, be<br />

specific, and write <strong>the</strong>m down”—but you’d be<br />

surprised at how few actually do it. This can work<br />

to your advantage: choose to be one of <strong>the</strong> few<br />

who makes <strong>the</strong> extra effort to apply <strong>this</strong> time-tested<br />

principle. It’s often <strong>this</strong> slight advantage that makes<br />

<strong>the</strong> difference in <strong>the</strong> end. Take a few moments to<br />

1<br />

october 2006<br />

flesh out one of your <strong>MonaVie</strong> goals here below.<br />

<strong>On</strong>e of my goals is to: _______________________<br />

___________________________________________.<br />

I will accomplish <strong>this</strong> by (doing what?): ___________<br />

___________________________________________.<br />

I will achieve <strong>this</strong> goal by (date): ________________<br />

___________________________________________.<br />

make commitments<br />

Simply writing down your goals does not guarantee<br />

success. For your goals to be meaningful, you must<br />

remain committed to your plan. Here are some<br />

ways you can commit yourself to <strong>the</strong> business: (1)<br />

Use <strong>the</strong> resources available to you; i.e., marketing<br />

materials, training tools, upline support, (2) Enroll in<br />

<strong>the</strong> AutoShip program, (3) Learn about <strong>the</strong> product<br />

and its benefits, (4) Study <strong>the</strong> compensation plan<br />

and know <strong>the</strong> eight ways you can earn money<br />

with <strong>MonaVie</strong>, and (5) Look for chances to share<br />

<strong>the</strong> product and business opportunity with friends,<br />

family, and those you meet, on a daily basis. What<br />

are some o<strong>the</strong>r ways you can commit yourself to<br />

your <strong>MonaVie</strong> business?<br />

___________________________________________.<br />

build a list of prospects<br />

Have you ever panned for gold? Perhaps not, but if<br />

you’re familiar with <strong>the</strong> principle, let’s apply it here.<br />

Whe<strong>the</strong>r it’s gold or <strong>the</strong> right kind of person you are<br />

looking for, <strong>the</strong>re is a sifting process. You do not<br />

want to prejudge, but you do want to prequalify a<br />

prospective distributor. In time, everyone deserves<br />

<strong>the</strong> opportunity to at least see and taste <strong>MonaVie</strong>.<br />

So, take <strong>the</strong> time to write down <strong>the</strong> names of


everyone you know who might be interested in an<br />

opportunity for better health and wealth.<br />

contact and invite<br />

This is where <strong>the</strong> rubber meets <strong>the</strong> road. Begin<br />

sharing your dream of <strong>MonaVie</strong> with your prospects<br />

and try to discover what <strong>the</strong>ir “why” could be. Focus<br />

on building relationships, and gauge <strong>the</strong>ir interest<br />

level. You’ll be able to tell who’s not interested—and<br />

that’s okay. Because as <strong>the</strong> river of opportunity<br />

continues to flow and you let <strong>the</strong> sediment fall<br />

through your fingers, you just may end up holding a<br />

golden nugget!<br />

Here are some ways to invite people to learn more<br />

about <strong>MonaVie</strong>:<br />

• Direct <strong>the</strong>m to your <strong>MonaVie</strong> distributor web<br />

site.<br />

• Have <strong>the</strong>m to your home to taste <strong>the</strong> product<br />

and learn about <strong>the</strong> compensation plan.<br />

• Accompany <strong>the</strong>m to a <strong>MonaVie</strong> regional<br />

meeting or a local meeting in your area.<br />

• Invite <strong>the</strong>m to listen in on one of <strong>MonaVie</strong>’s<br />

telephone or Web-based conference calls<br />

featuring <strong>MonaVie</strong> founders and distributor field<br />

leaders.<br />

6 show <strong>the</strong> plan<br />

You can do all of <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r steps, but unless you<br />

show <strong>the</strong> plan, your business won’t grow. Set a<br />

goal to show <strong>the</strong> plan at least 3–5 times per week.<br />

Remember to draw on <strong>the</strong> expertise of your upline in<br />

conducting a meeting or when showing <strong>the</strong> plan.<br />

follow up and follow through<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> is an opportunity, and opportunity is about<br />

timing. While <strong>the</strong> timing might not be ideal for<br />

someone today, it could be perfect for <strong>the</strong>m in two<br />

weeks or a few months. The seeds you plant today<br />

through contacting and inviting will become <strong>the</strong> fruit<br />

you harvest tomorrow through follow-up.<br />

get started<br />

“You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t<br />

make it drink” just about sums up presenting <strong>the</strong><br />

opportunity to a prospective distributor or customer.<br />

No one should ever be pressured to participate,<br />

but everyone should have <strong>the</strong> opportunity. <strong>On</strong>ce a<br />

prospect has been exposed to <strong>the</strong> opportunity, one<br />

of three decisions will be made: (1) I’d like to spend<br />

a little money to get <strong>this</strong> great product (i.e., become<br />

a retail or preferred customer), (2) I’d like to save<br />

a little money and get <strong>this</strong> great product (i.e.,<br />

become a distributor to purchase <strong>the</strong> product at <strong>the</strong><br />

wholesale price), or (3) I’d like to make some money<br />

(i.e., become a distributor and build a business,<br />

while enjoying <strong>the</strong> product). Be positive in your<br />

presentation and expect great results!<br />

counsel with your upline<br />

Counseling with your sponsor or active upline is<br />

an important key to your success. It has been said<br />

that experience is <strong>the</strong> best teacher, as long as it is<br />

someone else’s experience…<strong>the</strong>n it is wisdom. Your<br />

sponsor or active upline has a vested interest in your<br />

success. The experience and motivation <strong>the</strong>y provide<br />

cannot only keep you going, but keep you going<br />

in <strong>the</strong> right direction. Learning from <strong>the</strong> experience<br />

of o<strong>the</strong>rs will help you progress in <strong>MonaVie</strong> at a<br />

preferred pace.<br />

10<br />

1<br />

on <strong>the</strong> move<br />

duplicate yourself<br />

Your success will ultimately be determined by your<br />

ability to duplicate yourself through those you<br />

sponsor. Be <strong>the</strong> type of distributor that you would<br />

want to have in your downline. Because, chances<br />

are, those you bring into your organization will<br />

duplicate most of your habits—good and bad. Be<br />

<strong>the</strong> example, follow <strong>the</strong>se 10 steps, and teach those<br />

you sponsor <strong>the</strong> ITS factor—Invite, Taste, and Share.<br />

It’s Simple, It’s Fun, It’s <strong>MonaVie</strong>.<br />

Use <strong>the</strong>se principles from <strong>the</strong> M.A.P. to find <strong>the</strong> way<br />

to your destination with <strong>MonaVie</strong>...and say “Hi” to<br />

Roger Federer and Tiger Woods along <strong>the</strong> way.<br />

ask <strong>the</strong> expert By Jeff Graham<br />

At <strong>MonaVie</strong>, we are committed to providing<br />

you with products you need and <strong>the</strong><br />

information you want.<br />

Is <strong>the</strong>re a difference between oxidative stress and<br />

free radicals? How do <strong>MonaVie</strong> brand products help<br />

combat <strong>the</strong>se?<br />

Oxygen gives us life, but it can also cause oxidative<br />

stress that leads to cell damage. Smoking, breathing in<br />

pollution, ingesting hydrogenated fats, getting injured<br />

(physically), undergoing radiation, as well as mental<br />

stress, infection, disease, and inflammation can all<br />

cause oxidative stress. Think of oxidative stress in <strong>the</strong><br />

body like rusting metal, only in humans oxidation<br />

accelerates <strong>the</strong> aging process and age-related<br />

diseases. This explains why those who smoke have so<br />

many wrinkles as <strong>the</strong>y grow older—<strong>the</strong> wrinkles are <strong>the</strong><br />

result of oxidative stress on <strong>the</strong> skin. By comparison,<br />

when you meet someone in <strong>the</strong>ir 50s or 60s in Brazil,<br />

who regularly consumes <strong>the</strong> açai berry, you’re struck<br />

dr. carson’s corner<br />

By Dr. Ralph Carson<br />

<strong>On</strong>e of <strong>the</strong> ingredients that makes<br />

up <strong>the</strong> <strong>MonaVie</strong> blend is <strong>the</strong><br />

wolfberry. For thousands of years<br />

<strong>the</strong> wolfberry has been used in<br />

China to promote a long, vigorous,<br />

and happy life. In addition<br />

to being a general longevity<br />

herb, it is said to raise <strong>the</strong><br />

spirits, fight depression, and<br />

increase cheerfulness. Its main<br />

health benefit is to nourish <strong>the</strong><br />

body. “Nourish” in Chinese<br />

medicine means to support <strong>the</strong> body<br />

whenever it suffers from illness or<br />

weakness. In <strong>the</strong> United States, <strong>the</strong><br />

current life expectancy is about 77<br />

years. In some parts of <strong>the</strong> world,<br />

<strong>the</strong> life expectancy approaches 100<br />

years of prime health—virtually free<br />

of high blood pressure, diabetes,<br />

heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and<br />

degenerative diseases. The people<br />

of Ningxia Province in China, where<br />

<strong>the</strong> wolfberry grows, are rumored<br />

to live up to 120 years.<br />

People who live such long<br />

and healthy lives have diets<br />

that contain regular daily<br />

servings of <strong>the</strong> wolfberry. The<br />

astounding health benefits<br />

of <strong>the</strong> wolfberry have<br />

been reported in over 70 medical<br />

papers in prestigious journals and<br />

magazines around <strong>the</strong> world. The<br />

wolfberry contributes a variety of<br />

unique, beneficial properties to<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> brand products, making it<br />

a valuable addition to <strong>the</strong> blend.<br />

by <strong>the</strong> appearance of <strong>the</strong>ir skin—it’s supple and<br />

virtually wrinkle-free, even though <strong>the</strong>y are subjected<br />

to UV rays from <strong>the</strong> sun every single day (and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y don’t use sunscreens). <strong>MonaVie</strong>—featuring<br />

açai—contains antioxidants (such as<br />

anthocyanins and carotenoids), which<br />

combat <strong>the</strong> free radicals that lead to<br />

oxidative stress.<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong>’s patent pending, freezedried<br />

açai powder has an ORAC score<br />

(a measure of antioxidant power) of<br />

1,027—higher than any o<strong>the</strong>r fruit<br />

or vegetable tested to date, on a<br />

gram-to-gram basis. The antioxidant<br />

properties found in <strong>MonaVie</strong><br />

products are just one reason that<br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> is <strong>the</strong> right choice for<br />

helping you maintain your healthy<br />

and active lifestyle.<br />

The number one thing we<br />

believe a new distributor<br />

needs to be successful in<br />

<strong>this</strong> business is a reason—<br />

something that drives <strong>the</strong>m<br />

to build <strong>the</strong> business. If <strong>the</strong>y<br />

have a “why,” <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong>y just<br />

need to counsel with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

upline and everything else<br />

will fall into place.<br />

Pardon <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>atrical reference, but a lot of people are becoming passionate about <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>MonaVie</strong> product experience and business opportunity. Check out what Laura and Jim Lester<br />

from Tulsa, Oklahoma, had to say.<br />

Business is taking off<br />

We have found several key elements that have<br />

contributed to our success: managing time effectively,<br />

setting short- and long-term goals, and, as with any<br />

successful business, staying committed to achieving<br />

those goals and doing it with integrity.<br />

wakeboard…<br />

Following a group picture of September’s Ruby Fly-<br />

In participants in front of <strong>the</strong> Zermatt Resort’s lobby<br />

entrance, and alongside <strong>the</strong> recognizable Zermatt<br />

bear statue, participants prepared for a night of fine<br />

food and even finer company. The dinner was held<br />

at <strong>the</strong> resort, and <strong>the</strong> evening’s highlight was <strong>the</strong><br />

presentation of <strong>the</strong> Ruby Stock Option Program to<br />

new Ruby Executives.<br />

friday, september 22<br />

The Zermatt Resort saw snow early on Friday and<br />

<strong>this</strong> had many of our warmer-wea<strong>the</strong>r friends (i.e.,<br />

those from Puerto Rico and Florida) dancing in<br />

<strong>the</strong> streets (literally!). During <strong>the</strong> day, many of our<br />

new Rubys took advantage of Zermatt’s worldclass<br />

spa facilities and treated <strong>the</strong>mselves to body<br />

scrubs, facials, mud wraps, Swedish massages, and<br />

more. O<strong>the</strong>rs opted to experience one of Utah’s<br />

most famous and unique towns—historic Park City.<br />

Famous for its shopping and dining, <strong>MonaVie</strong> new<br />

Rubys did just that. They shopped, <strong>the</strong>y dined, and<br />

<strong>the</strong>y forged friendships that will last forever.<br />

Our business has really taken off and it hasn’t been<br />

work so much as it’s been just getting toge<strong>the</strong>r with<br />

friends (new and old) who want better health or wealth<br />

for <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong> people <strong>the</strong>y care about.<br />
