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.

Higher plasma vitamin C concentrations predict lower risk of stroke in adults

Higher plasma vitamin C concentrations predict lower risk of stroke in adults

To date, clinical trials have not shown significant benefit of vitamin C supplementation in reducing stroke risk, but they have not examined the relation between plasma vitamin C concentrations and stroke risk in a general population.

A recent study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition examined the relation between baseline plasma vitamin C concentrations and risk of incident stroke in a British population of over 20,000 adult men and women. The participants completed a health questionnaire and attended a clinic during 1993"1997. After an average follow-up time of 9.5 years, the participants in the top fourth of plasma vitamin C levels had a 42% lower risk of stroke compared to those with the lowest levels. These results were independent of age, sex, smoking, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, physical activity, diabetes, social class, alcohol consumption, and any supplement use.

Plasma vitamin C concentrations, therefore, may act as an indicator of lifestyle or other factors associated with reduced stroke risk and may be helpful in determining those at high risk of stroke.

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.

Robert Kiyosaki - http://www.richdad.com/


Paul Zane Pilzer - http://www.paulzanepilzer.com/

Please pass this information on to all of your USANA team members, and encourage them to register for Convention NOW while the Early Bird ticket price is still in effect.

Vision

Vision


What will the next decade hold for you? Vision is the capacity to look beyond the moment into the vast potential of tomorrow. What is your vision?

We read in the bible about King Solomon, who in his timeless wisdom said, "Where there is no vision, the people perish." I'd like to paraphrase that statement, "Where there is no vision, a company fails." It's no accident that one of the phrases Dr. Wentz seems most fond of - and that I've heard hundreds of times over the years is, "Share my Vision."

Dr. Wentz has given voice to his vision: "I dream of a world free from pain and suffering. I dream of a world free from disease. The USANA family will be the healthiest family on earth". I'm certain some people may view Dr. Wentz' vision as impractical - or even impossible. I don't know...maybe Dr. Wentz even feels a bit uncomfortable being called a visionary. The truth is, a vision is little more than an empty dream until it is widely shared and accepted. Once that happens, it acquires the force necessary to move an organization in the intended direction. And look at us! Look at the direction we're headed. We will soon be a billion dollar company! I am proud to report that Dr. Wentz is surrounded by people who have adopted his vision and made it our own. USANA has empowered us to take a stand for our preferred future.

I realize building this business can be a bit scary at times. It takes some courage to do what we do. In order to be successful in building a USANA business we're forced to eliminate caution, we must step outside our comfort zone. Let me share three strategies that have helped me and may help you clarify your vision and reach beyond your fear:

1. Get to higher ground.

One of my favorite video clips is of Dr. Wentz standing on top of a mountain in Switzerland. You might have seen it; the camera pans around him and it appears he is looking out over the entire earth. Symbolically, we need to do the same thing...broaden our perspective and see ourselves in that big picture. Dream big. Don't sweat the small stuff. Occasionally I get a call that goes something like this: "I just got my order and one of my nutrimeal cans has a dent in it." Here is another favorite: "I don't think USANA is putting as much cotton in the top of the Poly C bottle as they used to."
Can I be frank? These people have failed the vision test!

2. Craft your own vision.

We can and should share Dr. Wentz' vision, but we need to personalize it. Tell your own story. I promise you, if you're passionate about it, your story will evolve over time. When I first started building my business back in 1994, I envisioned earning $100.00 a month. I was coming from a place of scarcity and low self-esteem. I knew I wanted to keep my daughter on the USANA products so I had to figure out a way to make $100.00 a month so I could afford to stay on autoship. I started telling our story and wow...the checks kept coming. My vision improved! As I began making a difference in the lives of others my own life began to change dramatically. I was able to look forward to a time that hadn't yet arrived. Before long I could see it and feel it as though it was real. And now it is.

3. Wake up and go to work.

Give your vision substance. Take action. If your vision stays in your mind...it is simply wishful thinking. Initiate conversations. Pick up the phone. Set up appointments. Tell your story. Use the USANA tools. Show the plan. You get my point. I've learned a valuable lesson by associating with some of USANA's elite athletes. Even professional athletes drag themselves to the gym. You simply have to exercise to get the energy to exercise. Building your business is exactly the same. I promise you won't sponsor 100% of the people you don't talk to! Just do it...ultimately, the power to achieve our vision lies within us.

Let me ask again: What will the next decade hold for you? Can you predict your future? Yes, you can - because you can create it.
