10 Compelling Reasons

USANA Should be Your Opportunity of Choice
Stability - You can commit your time, energy, and enthusiasm to your USANA business. USANA is a solid, publicly traded company founded in 1992 with excellent growth and track records.

Experience - Dr. Myron Wentz, the Founder and Chairman of the Board of USANA Health Sciences, has years of hands-on experience in international business. USANA also has a strong management team with years of successful business leadership that you can count on.

Quality - USANA manufactures and packages many of its own products in its own state-of-the-art facilities. USANA Products are manufactured to meet the pharmaceutical-grade Good Manufacturing Practices(GMP). USANA also guarantees the quality and potency of all its products.

Leading-Edge Technology - USANA invests significant time and money in extensive scientific operations, information systems, research services, worldwide scientific alliances and technical support. USANA experts are at the forefront of nutritional science.

Exploding Market - The Nutritional Supplements Industry will continue to grow at a phenomenal rate based on the aging seventy million baby boomers. In 1993, the Nutritional Supplements Industry did $27 Billion. In 1995, this industry did over $92 Billion. It is expected to be a trillion dollar industry by the year 2010. Get involved, ride on the wave and be a part of the trillion dollar industry.

Timing, Timing, Timing - USANA began its operation in September of 1992. That makes it a 14 year old company in 2006. They have passed the start-up and pioneering stage where most companies fail and are currently entering the momentum stage where fortunes are created. This is the best time to get started in a company that is gaining momentum and with plans to enter a new market(country) in almost every year.

Fair and Lucrative Compensation - USANA's compensation plan allows all people an opportunity to succeed. It is one of the few companies with a worldwide, seamless binary compensation plan. USANA's compensation plan is fair and is designed so that many distributors can earn a phenomenal income, even more earning a healthy full-time income and thousands making excellent part-time incomes, rather than a few individuals at the top making millions.

Expert Training - As a USANA Distributor you have the opportunity to be trained by the best in the world in the areas of health, wealth, and empowerment. There are many seminars and training opportunities that are available.

Your Success is Our Success - Teamwork is the key to the success of any organization. USANA offers a wide range of Distributor support services which make building your USANA business much easier.

Credibility - USANA's Medical Advisory Board, on-staff PhD's, Physicians and Distributor force which include many highly respected business and health care leaders such as Robert Allen, Dr. Dennis Waitley, Dr. Ray Strand and many others, offers credibility to the USANA branding and will greatly enhance your business building efforts.

Here is how to make your investment friends jealous.

Here is how to make your investment friends jealous.

Let's say that you have $100 to invest. Where would you invest it?

You could be safe and put that $100 in a bank savings account. At 5% interest, you would get a nice, safe, guaranteed return of $5 at the end of the year.

Of course the government wants its share of taxes, so you'd only be left with about $3.50 net. While this is very safe, it's probably not your idea of successful investing.

So why not try investing in the stock market?

Maybe you could invest in some company that you are very familiar with. You'd like to have an inside view or advantage, so you'll stick with a company you intimately know.

Now you buy one share of that company's stock for $100. Because you have inside information, your share of stock appreciates to $200 at the end of the year.

Wow! That's a 100% return on your investment. Pretty smart, don't you think?

Not really.

What if you did this?

You invest the $100 in a classified ad in the local newspaper. By adding a little personal work to your money investment, you successfully recruit one new serious distributor.

And with a little more personal effort, you train your new distributor to be productive.

Your return? An extra $50 a month in bonus income. That's $600 extra per year! That's a 600% return on your investment.

Pretty smart.

But it gets better.

What if you invested the $100 in training?

Maybe you invested the $100 to go to your company's regional training seminar. At the seminar, you learned how to prospect and recruit new distributors without running an ad.

In other words, you won't have to spend $100 to run an ad every time you want to locate and sponsor a new distributor. Instead, you've learned expert methods of locating hot prospects without having to spend any money.

Now you can sponsor one new distributor every month who earns you an extra $50 in monthly income. At the end of the year, you'd have an extra monthly income of $600. That's $7,200 extra a year -- a 7,200% return on your investment.

And that's the kind of investment return that separates part-time distributors from financially independent leaders.

The Two Choices We Face

by Jim Rohn

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives. The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice.

To do or not to do. To be or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result of who and what they have become.

To Your Success,
Jim Rohn

Jeffrey Dach MD has left a new comment on your post "Do Cholesterol Drugs Do Any Good?":

The truth is that NO woman should ever be given Lipitor or any other statin drug for elevated cholesterol.

There are no statin trials with even the slightest hint of a mortality benefit in women and women should be told so.

In other words, statin drugs don’t work for women.

Star Diamond Director, Susan Waitley

Your 200 “No”s will lead to your Successful “Yes’s”


At the Diamond University in Minneapolis, Star Diamond Director, Susan Waitley, challenged us to enthusiastically share Usana and gather at least 200 “No’s”.


Why did she say that? We want “Yes’s”!!!


1. Most people need to hear about something at least 7 times before they make a positive decision and take action. Yet, most Associates give up on them after only 1-2 “No’s” Find creative ways to “Drip on them lightly 8 times,” as Lyndon Redmond, another Star Diamond would say.


2. “No” can mean “Not now, the timing isn’t right.” Or “No, I need to KNOW more first.” Or “No, I am misunderstanding what you said.” Or “No, I’m feeling like you are good at this, but I wouldn’t be. Will I get help?” Or “No, I’ve only met you. I need to get to know you better first.” Or “No, I always say no, no matter what. Come again another time.” Or “No, I feel you are being a little too pushy. Give me space and time.” Etc. etc. etc.


3. The odds are that you will need to speak with 10 people about Usana before you find someone who catches the vision for short or longterm health and finances. Most people aren’t in that space yet. Rejoice when you get a “No, not now” write them down….that means you are closer to a “Yes” and you can just keep in touch creatively and gently with the first group!


4. You’ll be getting great practice, as well as results, as you take massive action.

5. Go out in two’s, so that you can evaluate what you did right with each interview, and where you could improve the next time.

6. Susan asked the crowd to raise their hands if they had received 100 No’s since they started sharing Usana with others…. 200 …. 400…. 500… 1000’s (John Cunningham, 2 Star Diamond, then raised his hand with vigor) In our 12 years, we’ve had thousands pass up this wonderful company too, and it hurts, because we know what they are missing!


It’s a true challenge to help people discover their needs and then see where Usana is a wonderful opportunity. Remember that Diamond Directors constantly hear “No’s” but they persist and keep searching for other potential Gold’s, Rubies, Emeralds and Diamonds. They are rare. They often don’t look like precious gemstores. They are “in the rough” so you might pass them by or give up on them. (Remember that we said no to Usana six times before we actually sat down to go through a presentation. We are SO thankful that our sponsor didn’t give up on us!)


People may not know they are gemstones, because they’ve never had the opportunity or encouragement to jump out of their comfort zones and pursue a marvelous dream. That’s your job. And what an exciting mission! You are simply helping people catch the vision that there is hope for a healthier life, with more time freedom, with a great new world of friends….. with extra income to give away, to save or to enjoy with some extra pleasures.

So…. Start writing down a list of “No’s” to follow up on. Put a great big “H” for “Hooray” when they catch the vision and join your team. And meanwhile, go out and get more “No’s until you find those who are ready to embrace an exciting new life with Usana!

Diamond Director, Deanna (and Dave) Waters, Dr. Wentz Vision Award 2006, Members of the North American Independent Distributor Council 2006, Million Dollar Club, Fortune 100

Metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of disorders that include abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and unhealthy cholesterol levels. Up to one in four U.S. adults has metabolic syndrome, significantly increasing their risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Fitness, regardless of body weight, can provide a strong protective effect against premature death in men with metabolic syndrome as well as healthy men.

Cardiorespiratory fitness reduces the risk of death in men with Metabolic Syndrome

Cardiorespiratory fitness reduces the risk of death in men with Metabolic Syndrome

In a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, over 19,000 men were recruited to determine the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and mortality risk in healthy men and those with metabolic syndrome. The study group, which included about 3,800 men with metabolic syndrome, were evaluated for fitness and then followed for up to 17 years.

Healthy men who were out of shape at the beginning of the study were three times as likely as their fit peers to die of cardiovascular disease. While men with metabolic syndrome were 89 percent more likely than healthy men to die of heart disease over the years, men with metabolic syndrome who were unfit had twice the death rate as their fit counterparts.

According to the researchers, "This study strengthens the argument for aggressive public health campaigns aimed at increasing physical activity levels in the population." Fitness, regardless of body weight, can provide a strong protective effect against premature death in men with metabolic syndrome as well as healthy men.
