Jim Rohn: Importance of business philosophy in determining income levels

Have you asked yourself the following questions: What is preventing you from maximizing your earnings? Could it be your thinking (or business philosophy)? "Your income is related to your philosophy, not to the state of the economy." Have you ever considered a basic concept, "Profits is better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune." You can start part-time working on your fortune now. "If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much." Have you found the secret? "Don't search for the exotic until you discover the basics." Persue personal development because "success is something you attract by the person you become." Jim Rohn, motivational speaker and business philosopher. To avoid being stupid, learn what you can.

Herbalife QuickStart Training (Recap of Chairman Club Tour & Mexican Annual Extravaganza)


Last Sunday September 30, there was a very interesting four (4) hour training session for new and existing Herbalife distributors. Kathleen, Millionaire Team member, started the Quick Start training with her usual oomph. First, there was an excellent introductory session. In the Herbalife Opportunity Meeting (HOM), various persons shared their incredible product and income stories.

The HOM was followed by an energetic presentation that explained tools that can be used for retailing and recruiting. One point that struck home was that a shake party can be successful with only a few persons present; a shake party is an informal meeting where a wellness presentation is combined with free samples of the cellular nutrition program, i.e. shake and tea. The Formula #1 Nutritional Shake Mix and Herbal Concentrate tea supply essential macro nutrients, micro nutrients and botanics that the body needs for rejuvenating the cells of our body. A Herbalife TAB team member told about a shake party with only three (3) persons that resulted in a Success Builder order (~US$1000). [This anecdote reminds me of my friend Gene who used to say that you should conduct a Christian meeting even if only one person shows up so that the two of you could agree in prayer. RIP] So don't get discouraged if small numbers show up after many invitations. Just work the 90 day plan of action. Don't give up. Jim Rohn says, "for things to change, you have to change your thinking."


Montego Bay Herbalife distributor wins gift of Herbalife Beckman LA Galaxy shirt at Chairman Club Tour, Hilton Kingston, September 22, 2007

The rest of the Quick Start meeting involved presentations by Jamaican distributors who attended recent significant Herbalife meetings: (1) Chairman Club tour in Kingston Jamaica with guest speaker John Peterson, Founder's Circle member and (2) Annual Extravaganza in Mexico. The excitement in the meeting was palpable at times; amazingly, almost everyone present stayed until the end (which ran one hour over the scheduled close).

Here's a brief recap of statements made about the Chairman Club Tour and Success Training Seminar.

Andrea: John Peterson explained that the concept of Herbalife has not changed during his twenty-some years in Herbalife: "Use. Wear. Talk." The demographics (of the product users) and technology (to distribute products) have changed. He said that you should feel good about what you're doing. Invest in people. He reminded the meeting of how far Herbalife has come. So, take a chance. He quoted Jim Rohn, "what we lack in skill, make up in numbers." Be consistent. Promote the events. This is a business of attitude; we must fix up ourselves first; have lots of enthusiasm. Have a plan of action. She commented, "sometimes someone tells you the same thing and it touches you." It's never too late to start over. John explained that loss of momentum causes pain. Don't get distracted, but if you do, remember why you're doing Herbalife. Write down your dream. Get your VISION board. Physical exercise helps us. We need mental clarity to perform. Don't just tell downlines what to do - show them. Herbalife, you've got to love it.

Peta-Gaye: John Peterson is one of three persons in Founder's Circle. His training explains the same thing he's been doing for years (as he climbed the Marketing Plan). He makes millions of US per year. Here's what he said: Get the big picture. Set the plan. Put the plan into action. Then can refine the plan. If you make a mistake, try again. Start and then continue. There is a difference between being interested and being committed. Do it, no matter what.


John Peterson pins delighted Jamaican Herbalife distributor during Chairman Club Tour

Kay: You gotta believe. The sky is the limit. Commitment is key. It doesn't matter how many "No"s you get. Just repeat. She says that she is committed to speaking to ten persons per day, as he taught. She declared, "If you do one thing before you leave this earth, you should change some one's life."


Mexico in focus

"Doing business in Mexico requires some finesse by international companies. From regulations to banking to product preferences, there are differences that must be accommodated. One of the biggest factors is citizens' limited income. Pricey products and new sales kits can cost triple digits in the States, and they're often out of reach for many Mexicans. Some companies have adroitly made changes. Herbalife has created Nutrition Clubs, which allow distributors to sell individually priced, single-serving products in a party plan setting. It's worked well. 'The Nutrition Club party plan concept has continuously grown in popularity since its introduction several years ago,' Walsh says. 'The clubs are a social setting for neighbors to get together, be among friends, learn about nutrition and other topics and enjoy a healthy Herbalife shake and tea.' Read the rest of the interesting article about Mexico in direct selling in the April 2007 archives:
http://www.directsellingnews.com/archive/2007April/industry_news.php

The second part of the Quick Start training involved a recap of the Jamaican trip to the Mexican Herbalife Extravaganza. Twelve (12) persons went directly from Jamaica along with a Jamaican Herbalife Millionaire Team member who travelled from New York. All in attendance were impressed by how much everyone was inspired; they obviously enjoyed the trip immensely. The Mexicans treated Jamaicans very well. The welcome was exceptionally warm. And they felt like they were treated as pop stars; actually, the requests for photographs was almost non-stop.


The #1 Herbalife Distributorship is a Mexican Couple, Enrique Varela and Graciela Mier of Zacatecas, Mexico. These folk are the first to achieve 70K level; see past blog entry.

The distributors were struck by the unity, professionalism and timeliness of the Mexican Herbalife distributors. Many persons spoke about the importance of gratitude and fixing your bad attitude. Mexicans did not complain, even when they slept over night in buses at Extravaganza. The effect of "Before" and "After" pictures used in the meetings was instructive. As such, persons suggested investment in digital cameras (to be like the Mexicans). The importance of family was also mentioned. Persons spoke about the visits to nutrition club as well the kindness of gifts and invitations extended towards them. The atmosphere of the clubs were magical. There was music and dancing.



The Extravaganza itself with over eighteen thousand (18,000) persons was life-changing too. Most shared about the Motivational Speakers at the extravaganza including Marcus Anthony Rega and Jim Rohn. For example, one lady explained that we should not listen to the small voice in our head that tells us to stop (the business of Herbalife).... Jim Rohn explained that we should know the Mark Hughes story (founder of Herbalife). His first customer was not a sale; he gave his grandmother a gift and then she gave him twenty-five customers who referred another twenty-five customers. This led to US$2 million of product sales in the first year of business. Someone reported the following quote: "Life's greatest experience is when you are in someone else's testimonial" (Source unknown).

During the meeting Michael O. Johnson, CEO, explained the importance of carrying the brand across the world. He also spoke about the awesome products, business opportunity and image of Herbalife. The meeting inspired persons to do more than they get paid for in their Herbalife business. Each speaker was shown respect by the silence in the room; as they say, you could hear a pin drop. Someone noted that everything that occurred was important to the Mexican Herbalife distributors. Pictures were used for promoting their business. The whole experience effectively showed the importance of gratitude for your organization and downlines.


Michael O. Johnson, CEO, Herbalife International

The vision and leadership of Mexican TAB team was also compelling. We were told to create a mission and code of honor for our team. "When emotions are high and intelligence low, the vision supersedes everything else." Someone noted that Mexico has the most President's Team members in Herbalife. Mexicans love their country; Mexican flags are all over. This love of country and others spread to the Jamaicans. One distributor said that they genuinely wished you well. The team all wanted to return to Mexico soon. Well, since one person said that it was the first time she was asked for an autograph, who could fight against that feeling?

Today, another Herbalife blog announced the success of a new World Team member. Her story of 100% conversion is told here:

Mark Hughes (Herbalife Founder), Inspirational Teaching

Listen to the words of Mark Hughes, the founder of Herbalife International. See why you should enter or continue with this network marketing business in the growing wellness industry. Here are some quotes: "I had this incredible dream... that has now become reality.... The basics are what's important. Use the products. Wear the button. Talk to people.... Have you ever noticed about the people who are using our products? It's not just that they lose weight. It's the glow in their eyes! It's the excitement in their bodies! It's the way that they act... Put perspiration on your forehead. The people you saw up here [on stage] didn't get it by 'magic'; they worked hard. You don't get something for not doing anything.... If you were never ever to make a dime in this company again, would you still recommend [the products] to your friends and neighbors? ... Have a great attitude.... To be successful, you have to have faith first.... You will need to have more faith in your customers (sometimes) than they have in themselves. They are going to need that encouragement. They are going to need that guidance... Be consistent, over and over and over again. You're not that good at it now; don't worry about it. Just do the best you possibly can.... The more people I talk to, the luckier I am. The more people I sign up, the luckier I get.... The better attitude you keep, the luckier you're going to be. The more consistent you are, the luckier you're going to be.... Your success (where you go in life) is only limited to your imagination and your own hard work."

Herbalife Intl Financial Report Third Quarter 2007

Herbalife Record Third-Quarter Income of $48.3 Million

Herbalife Ltd. Announces Third-Quarter Net Sales of $529.5 Million and Record Net Income of $48.3 Million
Date: 11/6/2007 4:10:01 PM

LOS ANGELES, Nov 06, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF) today reported third quarter net sales of $529.5 million, an increase of 11.1 percent compared to the same period of 2006. This record performance was largely attributable to double-digit growth in several of the company's top countries, including the U.S. up 20.4 percent, Taiwan up 23.6 percent and China up 89.3 percent, versus the third quarter of 2006. The company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Michael O. Johnson, said, "We are pleased to report our 15th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth and another record quarter for net income. Our strong performance reflects the strength of our independent distributor organization, their confidence in the company, and the foundation we've built with our products, business opportunity, brand and image."

During the third quarter 2007, total supervisors increased 16.6 percent to 418,735 and new supervisors of 52,982 increased 4.7 percent versus the third quarter of 2006. The company's President's Team membership increased 11.3 percent to 1,066 members.

Financial Performance
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the company reported net income of $48.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share, compared to $26.5 million, or $0.36 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2006. Excluding the impact of refinancing charges and other items(1) in third quarter of 2006, adjusted diluted net income per share was $0.51, resulting in a $0.16 improvement in third quarter 2007. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to double-digit net sales growth, expansion in operating profit margins, and a reduction in interest expense during the period(1).
During the third quarter, the company invested $9.2 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to enhancements to its management information systems and additional infrastructure investments to improve distributor service levels.
On August 23, 2007, the company's Board of Directors approved an increase of $150 million to its previously authorized share repurchase program of $300 million raising the total value of company common shares authorized to be repurchased to $450 million. During the third quarter, the company repurchased 1.7 million shares of its common stock through open market transactions at an average price of $39.23 for an aggregate cost of $65.1 million. The company used excess cash along with debt to fund the repurchase. Since this share repurchase program was authorized in April 2007, the company has repurchased 5.2 million shares at an aggregate cost of $203.9 million.
For year to date September 30, 2007, the company reported net sales of $1,567.7 million an increase of 12.1 percent compared to $1,398.2 million in the comparable period in 2006. For the year to date September 30, 2007, the company reported net income of $137.6 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to $101.5 million, or $1.37 per diluted share in the comparable period for 2006. Excluding the impact of favorable tax settlements in international markets in 2006 and 2007, recapitalization expenses and tax benefits on refinancing transactions in 2006, as well as 2007 expenses related to the company's realignment for growth initiative(1), year to date September 30, 2007 net income increased 29.4 percent to $141.6 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, compared to $1.47 per diluted share in the comparable period in 2006.

Third Quarter 2007 Business Highlights
The company experienced record-breaking attendance at its distributor extravaganza events around the world. Over 10,000 distributors attended the North America regional event in Dallas, Texas. Over 17,000 distributors attended the EMEA regional event in Cologne, Germany. Over 15,000 distributors attended the South East Asia and North Asia regions combined Asia Pacific Extravaganza in Singapore. Over 17,000 distributors attended our Mexico and Central America regional event in Mexico City. These events are important to allow distributors a venue to train and network, and for the company to introduce new products and recognize distributor success.
The company continued its support of distributor business methods by sharing best practices globally. "We continue to encourage sharing of distributor best practices as we focus our company resources on supporting the distributors' daily methods of operations," said Greg Probert, the company's president and chief operating officer.
Regional Performance

However, excluding the benefit of currency fluctuations, net sales decreased 2.4 percent. The EMEA region realized net sales growth in several of its top markets, including Spain which was up 35.4 percent; France up 27.2 percent; Russia up 17.7 percent; and Italy up 15.8 percent, in each case compared to the third quarter of 2006. These net sales gains were partially offset by declines in other core markets including Germany down 13.3 percent, and the Netherlands down 18.9 percent versus the comparable period of 2006. Total supervisors in the region, as of September 30, 2007, decreased 6.0 percent versus the same period in 2006.
