FACETS OF A DIAMOND<br />

LEVI THOMAS<br />

Levi Thomas started as an assistant wrestling coach out<br />

of college and loved his job. But when he couldn’t get a fulltime<br />

teaching position, he picked up a second job to pay the bills.<br />

He joined AdvoCare in April 2012 to earn additional income and<br />

to continue his passion of helping others. His approachability and<br />

accommodating attitude, along with his determination and focus,<br />

helped him grow his AdvoCare team and leave both jobs in 2013.<br />

Today he is focused on helping others achieve their purpose in life<br />

and building a life he will share with his future family.<br />

does being an AdvoCare leader mean<br />

to you?<br />

It’s an honor. I try to live my life in such<br />

a way that others would want to model or<br />

follow. I want to be a good person and lead<br />

by example.<br />

Jenny Donnelly once told me, “The difference<br />

in a good leader and a great leader is a<br />

good leader loves people, but a great<br />

leader loves people when they’re not easy<br />

to love.” That always resonated with me.<br />

What was your approach to building<br />

a network?<br />

I used three-way phone calls and Mixers<br />

(small group meetings). Nothing replaces<br />

Mixers — meeting newcomers in person is<br />

important. When I meet someone new,<br />

I always ask what needs they have and how<br />

I can help.<br />

I’m willing to invest in someone else’s future<br />

without the guarantee they will follow<br />

through. I will believe in someone until they<br />

believe in themselves.<br />

What have you learned about yourself that<br />

you didn’t know before?<br />

I’ve learned to always be open to learning<br />

from others. The more you learn, the<br />

more you realize how little you know.<br />

Because of that, I’m always reading,<br />

listening and learning.<br />

Most of my life I doubted my abilities.<br />

AdvoCare has shown me that I am capable of<br />

so much more than I ever thought possible.<br />

What is something you do to support<br />

your teams?<br />

I remind my teammates why they’re here<br />

and celebrate their victories, whether big<br />

or small. I make sure they know we’re doing<br />

this together.<br />

Personal testimonials reflect individual experiences and are not necessarily typical of the results you may obtain. Results vary with individual effort, consistency of use, body composition, eating<br />

patterns and exercise. If you have a medical condition or are pregnant or nursing, AdvoCare recommends you consult your healthcare professional before starting an AdvoCare product regimen.<br />

Earnings depend on a number of factors, including your individual effort and the area in which you live. The average annual income for all Distributors in 2015 was $1,586. Total earnings may<br />

include earnings from the start of the Distributorship to the date this information was published and do not include earnings from retail sales. See the Income Disclosure Statement on page 84.<br />
