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.

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.

Hello, Usana family!
Hello, Usana family!
Usana is an awesome business, as you all know. And using the tools is strongly encouraged so you can benefit through the growth of your business.
Your question about the lead that is looking for a "JOB" (read the lead's tasks) is directly addressed on Diamond Director Michael Ray's CD, "Cold Call Connection." You can get it at Pro Tools (www.unitogether.com). He has that specific example, and he suggests not wasting
your time. Even if you are able to convince them somehow to invest the money, they aren't going to be happy because that's not what they are looking for.....I've been there, done that, more than once and in my experience I agree with Michael, it's a waste of time.
"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire,
sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon
. . . must inevitably come to pass.”
"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept
anything but the best, you very often get it."
--Somerset Maugham

GOAL SETTING AND ACTION PLANS
GOAL SETTING AND ACTION PLANS
By Pete Zdanis
I spend a lot of time working with new people in my group helping them develop their goals and action plans for their Usana business.
I always ask them to make the initial effort to put their goals and plans in writing, and then share them with me for review and suggestions. The main reason I do this is because, unless they develop their goals themselves, they will never take ownership of them and will likely not take the necessary actions to reach the goals.
What I usually discover in the first draft I receive from new distributors is one of two extremes:
o Very general and vague - "I want to earn $1,000.00 per week in Usana."
o Extremely detailed and mind-numbing "business plans" which would require a Harvard MBA to understand.
The first example is far too general, and doesn't provide any detail on what must be done to achieve the goal. At the end of every day, there would be no way to measure if you made any progress toward your goal.
The second example is far too detailed, and usually overwhelms people and causes "paralysis by analysis". It would be impractical to review an elaborate business plan daily to measure progress.
What's the solution?:
Start with one or two high level goals with a specific target date, and then "work backward" to develop more specific action plans to achieve the goal(s).
For example:
Primary Goal:
"Become a Gold Director in 12 months."
Good. That's a specific goal with a defined time frame.
Now, let's break that down into smaller, manageable actions steps that are needed to achieve the goal.
For example, we know that the average Gold Director has personally sponsored 30 to 40 new Distributors.
So, let's define an action step, or secondary goal, to reach the primary goal:
"Personally sponsor three new Distributors per month".
OK. That will certainly get us to our primary goal, but - How do we sponsor three new Distributors per month?
Well, let's break it down into even smaller steps................
There are many, many different ways and methods to sponsor new distributors - warm market, classified ads, purchased leads, etc., etc. The various methods, combined with the individual Distributor's belief, confidence and experience level, make it difficult to determine specifically, at least initially, how many presentations a particular Distributor would have to make to sponsor one new Distributor
For the sake of this exercise, let simply, assume that they would sponsor one out of every ten people they make a presentation to. Note: By "presentation", I am referring to an H&F Meeting, a one-on-one H&F Presentation in person, an information pack sent by snail mail or e-mail, or a telephone presentation using the H&F Presentation, Fast Facts, etc. Therefore, we would need to make thirty presentations in one month in order to sponsor three new Distributors in a month.
So, our next level goal or action step would be:
"Make 30 presentations per month."
OK - Hang in there, we're almost done.............
Not everyone we talk to is interested in learning more about becoming involved in Usana. So, we're obviously going to need to contact more than 30 people in order to schedule 30 presentations. Again, the ratio of contacts to presentations varies widely based on many variables, similar to those listed above. But, for the sake of example, let's assume that half of the people we contact would be interested in learning more about Usana, i.e., would be willing to view / attend / listen to a presentation.
So, our next level goal or action step would be:
"Make 60 contacts per month." (Or an average of two per day)
NOW we have something to grab on to. We now know that, in order to become a Gold Director in one year, (Primary Goal) you would need to make an average of two contacts per day (Single Daily Action Plan – SDA).
Now, at the end of every day, you can look back at your activities for the day, ask yourself if you took needed action to reach your primary goal, provide an answer, and rate yourself:
o Zero Contacts - "F" - failed for the day.
o One Contact - "C" - did okay, but need to do better tomorrow.
o Two Contacts - "A" - achieved my goal, and am on track to reach my primary goal.
o More than two Contacts - "A+" - I may reach my primary goal faster than my target date.
CAUTION: Don't get all hung up about the numbers in the above examples. They are simply that - examples. As you gain in experience and knowledge, you may find that more than half of the people you contact would be willing to learn more about Usana, and that more than 10% of the presentations you make will result in a signup. In fact, I KNOW that will be the case.
Best of success!

By Pete Zdanis
I spend a lot of time working with new people in my group helping them develop their goals and action plans for their Usana business.
I always ask them to make the initial effort to put their goals and plans in writing, and then share them with me for review and suggestions. The main reason I do this is because, unless they develop their goals themselves, they will never take ownership of them and will likely not take the necessary actions to reach the goals.
What I usually discover in the first draft I receive from new distributors is one of two extremes:
o Very general and vague - "I want to earn $1,000.00 per week in Usana."
o Extremely detailed and mind-numbing "business plans" which would require a Harvard MBA to understand.
The first example is far too general, and doesn't provide any detail on what must be done to achieve the goal. At the end of every day, there would be no way to measure if you made any progress toward your goal.
The second example is far too detailed, and usually overwhelms people and causes "paralysis by analysis". It would be impractical to review an elaborate business plan daily to measure progress.
What's the solution?:
Start with one or two high level goals with a specific target date, and then "work backward" to develop more specific action plans to achieve the goal(s).
For example:
Primary Goal:
"Become a Gold Director in 12 months."
Good. That's a specific goal with a defined time frame.
Now, let's break that down into smaller, manageable actions steps that are needed to achieve the goal.
For example, we know that the average Gold Director has personally sponsored 30 to 40 new Distributors.
So, let's define an action step, or secondary goal, to reach the primary goal:
"Personally sponsor three new Distributors per month".
OK. That will certainly get us to our primary goal, but - How do we sponsor three new Distributors per month?
Well, let's break it down into even smaller steps................
There are many, many different ways and methods to sponsor new distributors - warm market, classified ads, purchased leads, etc., etc. The various methods, combined with the individual Distributor's belief, confidence and experience level, make it difficult to determine specifically, at least initially, how many presentations a particular Distributor would have to make to sponsor one new Distributor
For the sake of this exercise, let simply, assume that they would sponsor one out of every ten people they make a presentation to. Note: By "presentation", I am referring to an H&F Meeting, a one-on-one H&F Presentation in person, an information pack sent by snail mail or e-mail, or a telephone presentation using the H&F Presentation, Fast Facts, etc. Therefore, we would need to make thirty presentations in one month in order to sponsor three new Distributors in a month.
So, our next level goal or action step would be:
"Make 30 presentations per month."
OK - Hang in there, we're almost done.............
Not everyone we talk to is interested in learning more about becoming involved in Usana. So, we're obviously going to need to contact more than 30 people in order to schedule 30 presentations. Again, the ratio of contacts to presentations varies widely based on many variables, similar to those listed above. But, for the sake of example, let's assume that half of the people we contact would be interested in learning more about Usana, i.e., would be willing to view / attend / listen to a presentation.
So, our next level goal or action step would be:
"Make 60 contacts per month." (Or an average of two per day)
NOW we have something to grab on to. We now know that, in order to become a Gold Director in one year, (Primary Goal) you would need to make an average of two contacts per day (Single Daily Action Plan – SDA).
Now, at the end of every day, you can look back at your activities for the day, ask yourself if you took needed action to reach your primary goal, provide an answer, and rate yourself:
o Zero Contacts - "F" - failed for the day.
o One Contact - "C" - did okay, but need to do better tomorrow.
o Two Contacts - "A" - achieved my goal, and am on track to reach my primary goal.
o More than two Contacts - "A+" - I may reach my primary goal faster than my target date.
CAUTION: Don't get all hung up about the numbers in the above examples. They are simply that - examples. As you gain in experience and knowledge, you may find that more than half of the people you contact would be willing to learn more about Usana, and that more than 10% of the presentations you make will result in a signup. In fact, I KNOW that will be the case.
Best of success!

Nutrient-poor food, or "junk food" causes obesity
According to a large national survey, nutrient-poor food, or "junk food," contributes nearly 30% of all the energy (calories) consumed in the US population. Efforts to reduce obesity should focus on both individual and policy actions to reduce the importance of nutrient-poor foods in the US diet.
Junk food makes up nearly one-third of calories in American diet A study of 4,700 adults showed that despite the increased popularity of low- carbohydrate diets, almost one-third of Americans' calories are coming from 'empty calorie' foods such as sweets and desserts, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. Salty snacks and fruit-flavored drinks make up another five percent.
Lead researcher Gladys Block, a professor of epidemiology and public health nutrition at University of California, Berkeley, used data from a U.S. government survey called the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. She analyzed the answers of participants interviewed in 1999 and 2000 who were asked to report all the foods they ate in the previous 24 hours. "We know people are eating a lot of junk food, but to have almost one-third of Americans' calories coming from those categories is a shocker. It's no wonder there's an obesity epidemic in this country," Block said in a statement.
Sodas contributed 7.1 percent of the total calories eaten. Sweets topped the list, followed by hamburgers, pizza, and potato chips. By contrast, fruits and vegetables made up only about 10 percent of calories in the diet. "It's important to emphasize that sweets, desserts, snacks, and alcohol are contributing calories without providing vitamins and minerals," said Block. "
You can actually be obese and still be undernourished with regard to important nutrients. We shouldn't be telling people to eat less - we should be telling people to eat differently."
