Herbalife Success Stories

Leroy James, Dr. Steven Komadina and Ainsley Mitchell (Herbalife Distributors), June 2007, Jamaica Conference Centre

Leroy James is serious about his part-time Herbalife business as a full-time university student. You can read Leroy's story in my previous post: http://myhlf.blogspot.com/2007/09/brilliant-marketing-today-changing.html

Dr. Steven Komadina lost one hundred and fifteen pounds (115 lbs) using ShapeWorks products from Herbalife International. He has effectivly treated over thirteen hundred (1300) patients with Herbalife.

Herbalife has worked for many Jamaicans. For example, read Ainsley Mitchell's story about his digestive health:

"For twenty years I had upset ulcerated burning stomach (now termed acid reflux). I couldn't eat and enjoy tasty Jamaican foods such as stewed peas, curry goat, jerk pork. Moreover, I repeated (belched) when I ate cucumber (vegetable) and melon (fruit). I took Zantac, Pepto-Bismol, Rioplus, Fedegel and other antacids as well as icecream with very temporary results as they reoccurred within a short time. I came to Herbalife and was introduced to Cellular Nutrition, Aloe Drink and Flora Fiber. I saw gradual improvements. Within six (6) months, I didn't need the icecream anymore. Within nine (9) months, I didn't need any of the other products.

"I am a chartered accountant. I am enjoying this part-time business in Herbalife which allows me tremendous freedom of time and earnings to travel. I can do many other things without stretching for money." Ainsley Mitchell

Financial Freedom in the flesh: "Big Wigs" in Herbalife

John Peterson arrives at Norman Manley International Airport, Kingston, Jamaica, September 21, 2007

John Peterson, top Herbalife distributor for eight (8) consecutive years, was in Jamaica recently. He was the main speaker at the Chairman's Club tour and Success Training Seminar held at the Hilton Kingston on September 22, 2007. It was quite interesting to hear about his early years in the business. One of the best lessons was his story about recruiting a distributor who eventually became his first President's Team member. He actually called an acquaintance on the telephone - right before midnight - in order to meet his commitment to talk to ten (10) persons per day.

John emphasized the importance of the Herbalife basic Daily Method of Operation for distributors everywhere: "Use. Wear. Talk." This winning combination is obviously significantly "magical" if sustained, given his growing income over more than twenty years. Actively listening to this top distributor, I realized again how simple this business really is both conceptually and practically. Real skill and true success come from back-to-back 90 day plans coupled with attendance at training seminars.



Earlier this year, Herbalife awarded over US$30 million bonuses to top distributors in the business. John and Susan Peterson received a bonus of US$1.6 million while the top distributor from Mexico received a bonus of US$1.8 million. Are you interested in how Herbalife is able to share so much money with its independent partners?!? Visit a Quick Start training soon to learn about the attractive marketing plan and hear success stories for yourself. [For example, Quick Start training is usually held on Sundays 3 - 6 p.m. at the Knutsford Court Hotel, Ruthven Road, Kingston, Jamaica.] You are required to register for the event; please email me at 4nrg2b@gmail.com to indicate your interest.

John Peterson has promised to be involved in training calls in the upcoming months as a follow-up to his recent training in Jamaica. You can get involved in this venture, if you are willing to work with this great business opportunity.


At the dinner after the Chairman Club tour, John Peterson received Jamaican memorabilia to remember his visit.



Herbalife just announced the continued success of other Chairman's Club members. Congratulations are extended to Enrique Varela and Graciela Mier of Zacatecas, Mexico. "Not only have they achieved one of the highest levels in the Herbalife Marketing Plan, but they continue to break qualification records, being the first Distributors to reach our new 70K level since it was introduced." Enrique and Graciela found a unique way to help many persons effectively by establishing Herbalife Nutrition Clubs (TM). These nutrition clubs have spread across the world by Herbalife distributors.

Many Jamaicans have found success by starting their own Nutrition Clubs; hundreds of nutrition clubs have been established in my island home in less than three (3) years.


Kathleen Russell Miller and Cheryl Daley Champagne, Herbalife Millionaire Team members, pictured here at the annual Herbalife Extravanganza, July 2007. Both women started successful nutrition clubs. Now they are teaching others to build business centres that will help them achieve their dreams.

In my next blog entry, I will recap stories from the "Just Got Back" QuickStart training where Jamaicans who attended the Herbalife Mexican Annual Extravaganza will tell about their experiences.

Fiscal Fitness & Physical Well-being via Herbalife

I was delighted to qualify as a certified fitness trainer at the Caribbean Fitness Academy last year (2006). [So far I have used this knowledge primarily to help myself.] Now I am equally delighted to be an active "PHD" or Professional Herbalife Distributor. It is now becoming increasingly clear why my health is a key component of personal wealth.


As I use Herbalife cellular nutrition and targeted supplements consistently over time, I realize - to my surprise - that I think better (because my brain is fueled by Herbalifeline, with its essential omega 3 fatty acids); and, I feel renewed confidence (because I feel and look better). One side benefit is that I am able to connect meaningfully with my playful creative side once again - I could elaborate, of course....

Perhaps, you wonder about the authenticity of my story; you may begin as a skeptic, as I once was. But as they say, "the proof is in the pudding." If you start to use the products, you will be amazed at the results. Just try the products; experience the effect of good nutrition as your body repairs and renews itself at the cellular level.


The ShapeWorks program includes Nutritional Shake Mix, Multivitamin, Cell Activator and Personalized Protein Powder

Let me quickly reiterate my tangible results by using the ShapeWorks program. My shape definately improved because I consumed "shake and tea" regularly at Herbalife Nutrition Clubs in Kingston, Jamaica. Despite my initial doubts, I lost twenty-four (24) pounds easily, with no additional cost for meals, dropping from a size 10 to a size 4. The ShapeWorks program really works as designed. Herbalife has provided the easiest way that I have lost fat in my life; in the past, I endured disciplined dieting and rigorous exercise programs to achieve changes from dress size 16 to size 8 and then I went back up to sizes 10 and 12.

I was unable to maintain my weight loss continuously although I tried to watch what I ate and exercised regularly. I dreamed and planned to be at an ideal weight, but my attempts to maintain size 8 was not successful. Then I discovered Nutrition Clubs through the Ounce of Prevention program broadcast on Power 106 Fridays nights, 8 - 10:30 pm; the radio program is hosted by two Jamaican physicians streams live on the Internet at http://www.go-jamaica.com/power/.

Thanks to Herbalife, I have improved nutrition. I am at forty (40) years, in the best shape that I have ever been in my adult life. I still am a gym enthusiastic. Better yet, I know a proven convenient method to maintain my size that I can readily sustain indefinitely. Moreover, I am looking forward to competing in a powerlifting competition next year, time permitting. I am convinced that good nutrition and effective exercise go hand in hand. Based on my experience and training, I want to share that nutrition is at least sixty (60) to seventy (70) percentage (%) of weight management results.

Because of the changes in my life, I have the means to become fiscally fit as I enter the Herbalife business adventure, coaching others to achieve wellness and weight management goals. Because of the motivational training seminars, excellent products and attractive marketing plan, I am prepared to promote the Herbalife brand. I am a fully qualified supervisor who just needs to dedicate the time to see my part-time business grow; then, I'll be able to experience remarkable increased earnings, just like the simple powerful testimonials shared by Jim Rohn, business philosopher.

On Wednesday past (September 26, 2007), I received some many compliments of significance. A twenty year old female student asked me to tell her my secret (to a great figure). I was astounded because she was both pretty and normal sized; at closer inspection, she showed me a tiny bulge on her stomach area. Apparently, she was distressed about approximately five (5) to eight(8) pounds of excess belly fat. Later that same day, my specialist physician said I looked chic; even better yet, she indicated that it was up to me whether I continued with my prescription medication at this time. As such, I can safely say that I am physically well. At the same time, I am becoming fiscally fit because I am applying what Herbalife teaches in training seminars and in the manuals in the International Business Pack (IBP).

I think it's time to invest in another set of glamour photographs to be used in my blog. Moreover, I've had a desire to be an example for others by printing my weight-loss story in Fitness, Shape or Herbalife Today magazine with my "Before" and "After" pictures. [Perhaps these actual photos could help me remain inspired while I actively inspire good nutrition and physical fitness in others.]

I am delighted to be sure that I am better looking at forty (40) than I was at twenty (20), thanks in large part to good nutrition. Little did I know that your body can ingest outer nutrition from skin care products. Now that I've been using Herbalife NouriFusion products for a few weeks, my face and the rest of my skin is remarkably smoother and my appearance is noticeably different. The unsolicited positive feedback continues unabated....

Today, I watched some interesting videos on Herbalife HBN. I suggest that you take the time to review the story of Jamaican Janet Stanbury, a Herbalife Millionaire Team member. Just scroll up to select from the "Interesting Links" on the right side of my blog. Also take the time to learn about Mexican Chairman Club members as well as the "Generation H" Brazilian who both overcame challenges to achieve their dreams.

Herbalife International distributes their products using direct selling. Why do people become direct sales representatives?

According to a survey by the Direct Sales Association, the major reason for becoming a direct sales representative:

* Additional income 36%
* It's your business and making money through direct sales is important to you 31%
* Discount/wholesale/free products 29%
* Other 4%


Compensation Structure by Percentage of Firms
(Single level versus Multi level)
http://www.dsa.org/pubs/numbers/

This data shows that most of direct sales in 2005 was conducted in multi-level or network marketing companies. Network Marketing is used by a majority of direct selling companies because of its effectiveness. Herbalife uses this model to enable its top performers to be rewarded for their efforts. I suggest that you examine the actual US$ earnings made by active supervisors in 2006 (see Interesting Links section).

=================================

Don't forget to exercise. Review the following post I read eagerly about an extra benefit of fitness workouts:

"I've given you a lot of reasons to exercise aside from it just being plain old good for you. Here's one that should pump up your muscles and your bank account.

"New research has found that nearly 30% of business owners with companies over $1 million in revenues say they exercise every day. What's more? Female business owners are five times more likely than males to come up with their best ideas while exercising.

So next time you're feeling a lack of creativity or motivation at work, try a power workout instead of a power lunch." Blog written by FitSugar

Power of Leverage - Brilliant Compensation Plan

Today, I still want to be my best as well as to do good; I want to ethically use leverage to achieve my ambitious goals in life. For example, I want to significantly reduce obesity in Jamaica within the next ten (10) years. And I want to influence others to lead better lives through good nutrition, regular physical activity and the application of wisdom. I want to be a change agent in the wellness revolution. Generally, I want to make a difference in the world. Do you?


Most of us have heard the saying, “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime”—Author unknown. Consider the following variant of the quote: "Teach a man to teach his children to fish, and you'll end world hunger." Did you know that someone actually said that this can be achieved by network marketing (of all things)? Tim Sales declares "Network marketing is most ethical business model I know." Do you want to hear an articulate defense of this claim?

Well, have you noticed my "Interesting Links" that is located on the right side of my blog? Earlier today, I watched a worthwhile video explaining "Brilliant Compensation." Check it out for yourself by copying the following very long URL address into a browser window or scroll up to click "Video Brilliant Compensation Tim Sales" above.

Brilliant Marketing Today, Changing Lives

Actively marketing the wellness industry is an idea whose time has come. Herbalife has done it brilliantly.

"You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can´t get them across, your ideas won´t get you anywhere" (Lee Iacocca). Herbalife is the realization of a dream; moreover, implementation of this great idea is actually taking persons up the marketing ladder, which translates to extra income for part-timers or incredible career income for full-time distributors.

For example, consider Leroy James, "World Team" member, who was among the top twenty-five (25) Jamaican distributors in August 2007. Leroy, twenty-one (21), meets his own living expenses (room, board and incidentals) while attending the University of the West Indies (UWI) as an undergraduate student through his Herbalife business.

"I like Herbalife because of the freedom that comes being my own boss. My part-time income is more than many full-time workers. I get to choose the people I work with and where and when I work, moving between two cities, my home base in Montego Bay and Kingston where I go to school. I get to travel without asking for time off; and, I earn while on vacation. Best of all, the possibility exists for exponential growth in my income."



There are many more incredible stories from persons from all walks of life: higglers (street market vendors), beauticians, auto-mechanics, professors and physicians. You just have to hear some of them in person to believe....

"Ideas are like children; they must crawl before they can walk, and walk before they can run." -- Denis Waitley

Herbalife "crawled" in its first year (1980), selling its Formula Nutritional Shake Mix product out of the trunk of the founder's car; gross retail sales totalled US$2 million. The top annual bonus check in 1984 for the leading distributor was only US$125,000.

Herbalife "walked" briskly by 1985; collectively, distributors sold US$500 million of products. By year 2000, Herbalife was up and "running" by all accounts when its founder Mark Hughes died. [Net sales for the 2000 first quarter (after distributor allowances) increased 7.8 percent to $244 million from $226 million in the same quarter 1999.]

As Salon writer commented in a June 2000 article about the reason for the company's success, "Creating a high-profile brand seems to have been the key. For the few remaining humans who don't know, Herbalife sells health and dietary supplements primarily through distributors who pitch their friends and neighbors, much in the same way Mary Kay sells cosmetics."

"But unlike Amway, the privately held titan in the field commonly known as multilevel marketing, Herbalife is accountable to shareholders and had a highly recognizable figure at its helm. 'The growth of the sales force was cultic,' says William Crookston, a professor of entrepreneurship at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business Administration. 'It became very charismatic and grew very quickly.'" (Alec Foege, Salon.com)

Well, Herbalife is no cult; it's a movement that can be called revolutionary in an era of bulging waistlines and increasing health care costs. Herbalife has effectively helped persons with weight management; moreover, persons with various health challenges consume our cellular nutrition program as well as the targeted nutritional supplements from Herbalife that have helped the body heal itself!

The Salon.com writer continued to analyze Herbalife's business strategy: "As the Internet emerged, ... Web customers could go to the company's new site, enter their distributor's PIN number and make purchases on their own. Unleashed by the Web, Herbalife quickly developed a foolproof way to track commissions and reduce advertising costs. The company's online selling method has other benefits: Since buyers have the option to pay distributors directly, it provides an online buying experience for customers afraid to release their credit card information over the Web. Herbalife also instituted a fairly innovative program of customer-service chat rooms, post-sales service and sales follow-up.

"In the wake of its founder's death, Herbalife remains something of a Web success story. 'This company is very advanced in its use of electronic commerce,' says professor Crookston. 'They recognized that, even on the Internet, you're not going to get rid of human contact,' explains Crookston."

Now Herbalife is "sprinting" like Asafa Powell, the 100m world record holder; the company sold products valued at US$3 billion last year (2006). In fact, its surplus overflows; more than five (5) top distributors earned an annual bonus over US$1 million as a reward for their 2006 production volumes.

Michael O. Johnson, Herbalife CEO, was recently interviewed by Jim Kramer on his TV show "Mad Money." Kramer said that Herbalife (HLF) is "one of the best buybacks on the New York Stock Exchange." Speaking directly into the TV camera, he said, "Shouldn't you be willing to pay a huge price for this stock?" This six (6) minute video clip is worth watching. You may scroll up to the video link just above this blog entry or copy the following address to your browser window, http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=502140096&play=1 at your convenience.

Herbalife Jamaica is the brighest star; Jamaica has the #1 retention rate among the sixty-five (65) countries distributing Herbalife products.

Interested in changing your life or improving your well-being? Come to the next Success Training Seminar to learn how....

Why hire yourself to promote Herbalife?

Do you want success?
"The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price." Vince Lombardi

Why hire yourself?
Hire yourself because you can then choose to work harder for yourself than you would for others! Then apply the following quote to your life: "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for" Sokrates. Or as Jim Rohn puts it: "Formal education will make you a living; self-education makes you a fortune."

Now consider this concept carefully: "The biggest mistake we could ever make in our lives is to think that we work for anybody but ourselves" Brian Tracey. But how can this be true if the following quote is valid? "Every company has room for the man who has a definite plan of action which is advantageous to that company" Napolean Hill. Here's how to blend the two ideas succesfully: You can create your own company and then hire yourself. "Success is what you attract by the person you become" Jim Rohn.

Are you willing to live to become attractive inside and out? If you are, then you can comfortably use network marketing to build a residual income that will allow you to create a financial freedom bank account. This is possible if you apply the "Power of Leverage" and the "Law of Averages" to your life with passion and persistence. The Law of Averages can be derived from famous story of the Sower and the Seed told by Jesus of Nazareth two thousand (2000) years ago.

Jim Rohn, business philospher and motivational speaker, has been telling this popular story of the Parable of the Sower, as a great example for all those in sales and leadership. If you would like to see an excerpted clip of this classic story, click the link below and scroll down to the 3rd video clip at http://classic.jimrohn.com or you can listen to a Jim Rohn CD on this topic.

Why Herbalife?
Our brand is powerful. Our amazing products are transforming the lives of people across the world! There are 1.6 million Herbalife distributorships today. Internationally, the number of new supervisors during the first six months of 2007 increased 24 percent compared with the same period in 2006. The average annual earnings of Active Supervisors in 2006 was about US $5,100. Moreover, the average earnings of Global Expansion Team members was over US $24,400 that year. Note that these amounts do not include the profits earned on resale of products. Of course, there is a caveat to this business opportunity story: Income vary. There are no absolute guarantees.

The business is growing in Jamaica at eighty percent (80%) per annum. Herbalife Jamaica has the highest retention rate of distributors among the sixty-five (65) countries where Herbalife products are available for trade.

Herbalife International distributes weight management, targeted nutritional supplements and personal care items; the company sold three billion US$ (United States dollars) of products in 2006 alone. Herbalife (HLF) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It earnings continue to exceed the expectations of reputable stock market analysts.

Herbalife is special. The company has a great scientific and medical advisory board, including a Nobel Laureate, Dr. Louis Ignarro. The company is headed by a competent CEO, Michael O. Johnson, who once managed Walt Disney World. Check out a video clip interview on YouTube about why he joined Herbalife; see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dobpSC4g3zM. Michael Johnson was recently interviewed by Jim Cramer on CNBC TV; watch the clip at http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=502140096&play=1

Herbalife sponsors David Beckham, famous football ("soccer") player who recently moved to the LA Galaxy soccer team in USA; see video. The Herbalife brand is attracting media attention in various ways. Herbalife is a superb network marketing company that pays up to seventy-three percent (73%) of its earnings to distributors. In 2007, five (5) Distributors were awarded the top super bonus each over US$ 1 million for their work in the previous year. Another five (5) distributors earned a super bonus over half of million American dollars. The top distributorship is a Mexican couple who earned US$1.8 million Super Bonus; watch video.

Learn from the best

Do you want to be enthusiastic or excited?
"If you are not fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm."
Vince Lombardi

Ever consider firing your boss or is it more likely that your boss will fire you? Why not hire youself so can you realize your dreams?

There are several Jamaicans who are so fired up with enthusiasm about their experience in the wellness industry, that they have been able to quit their jobs to pursue the Herbalife business opportunity full-time. And there are others - like myself - who are earning extra income on a part-time basis. I recommend that you attend an interesting Herbalife opportunity meeting very soon to see for yourself how to earn by making a difference in the lives of others.

Extract from "Direct Selling News" web site
http://www.directsellingnews.com/

Herbalife: Dream It. Do It.
Herbalife Chairman and CEO Michael O. Johnson took the stage at Reunion Arena July 14 to the cheers of more than 10,000 distributors. With a simple question, “Are you ready to change your life?” Johnson managed to convey his confidence in the power of Herbalife’s products and opportunity. Inspiring that same confidence in his audience was a resounding theme in his opening-session remarks. “This weekend is about filling you with confidence,” he said. “Start with a dream. Build on the dream. The dream will bring you confidence.”

Johnson centered his remarks around four key elements: Herbalife’s products, business opportunity, brand and the image of Herbalife distributors. “You are Herbalife,” he told the crowd. “You become the key to the doorway to the future of this company.”

That future looks bright indeed. During the Extravaganza, Herbalife announced that the number of new supervisors during the first six months of 2007 increased 24 percent compared with the same period in 2006. The company also introduced two new products: H3O™, a fitness drink, and Herbalife Kids, a new line of nutrition products. Training sessions were conducted by company and distributor leadership and members of the company’s Nutrition Advisory Board. Distributors also participated in a charity run to benefit the Herbalife Family Foundation Casa Herbalife program, which helps to bring good nutrition to children.
