Over the years I have struggled at times because I just didn’t know whether I was investing my time, talents and energy in the right pursuits. After lots of prayer and meditation I came to an understanding of my purpose and mission in life. Having this understanding doesn’t protect me from making mistakes from time to time nor does it insure that I will always be right on target but it does give a “North Star” to chart my life with on a day to day basis. This is one of the greatest blessings of my life.<br />
<br />
<br />
Recently I came across an article written in the Harvard Business Review. The author is one of the most highly acclaimed consultants in the world and a professor of business at the Harvard Business School. In this fascinating article he outlines his own discovery of purpose and how each of us can claim the peace, power and fulfillment of living a life that is based on fulfilling our own unique purpose.<br />

I mentioned the fact that there is a learning curve in every occupation and even in every activity or sport in which we find enjoyment. Our business is no different in this regard. We too have a learning curve. However, what sets us apart is that we have a culture that is different from every other business I have ever observed: we have thousands of successful leaders who are willing to share all their secrets with any new person who is willing to LISTEN.<br />
<br />
You guessed it, the first step to learning is to LISTEN. Too many of us invest too much of our energy in trying to be heard, trying to say something or impress someone. Most of us don't invest enough time and energy trying to hear what someone else is saying. How can we learn if we do not listen--especially if we don't listen to those who know the way to succeed by actual experience? There are many types of listening and I am not going to list them here because for our purposes they don't really matter. The only type of listening that will allow you to learn what you need to know to win in Unicity, and in life generally, is this type: "Listen with the intent to understand." This is the essence of the 5th habit of Stephen Covey's "Seven Habits of Highly Successful People". This book is one of most successful books ever written and if you haven't read it lately I urge you to do it now. <br />
<br />
Most importantly I urge you to make a commitment right now that you will listen today at least twice as much as you did yesterday. If you do you will learn some pretty useful knowledge and you will be better prepared to live your dreams.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />

And yet most of them have never made massive income before in anything else. I try to help these people realize that all significant incomes have a learning curve. For example, physicians are required to go to 4 years of Undergraduate Study, plus 4 years of Medical School, then 3-7 years of Residency and some do another 1 to 3 years to specialize. As a result, many doctors spend up to 18 years of schooling and training to qualify to become licensed physicians. Those requirements often leave doctors with hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt, before they are allowed to even begin making an income. Talk about a learning curve! <br />
<br />
Success in network marketing has a learning curve too, but a small one in comparison to medicine, a legal practice, accounting or just about every other traditional career path. In Network Marketing, part of the learning curve is simply learning the Step-by-Step process of how to run your business according to the success pattern already established. Another part of it is having the discipline to stay focused on your goals until you get good enough at the business to achieve those goals. I will share some specifics ideas on how you can fly up the learning curve with Unicity in next week’s posts.<br />
<br />
All the best,<br />

<br />
Over the past few days we have had a few of our US leaders come to the home office to be filmed for a new video we are producing. It was great to spend a few minutes with each of them individually. I love to hear what is going on in the lives of our leaders. I want to know what they are doing that is giving them success. Here are some short snippets of insight from each of those I visited with along side their picture.<br />

The results from the products are beyond anything we have ever seen before. The business rewards are just as impressive.

My wife and I know that this is the time to make the next big drive to a level of financial freedom. However, the money is not the really important motivation for me—I want more quality time with my family and friends, this kind of time only comes when you have passive income. We want more of it—and now is the time to get it.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">A big part of my job is to work with our Franchise Owners all over the world in order to educate them, to motivate them, and to build their belief in their own talents, dreams, and abilities—and in Unicity as the map they can use to reach their dreams. That’s a big part of your job too, by the way.</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Sometimes I’ve done this with just one person in the room or on the phone, and sometimes with tens of thousands. But one of my favorite times was at the close of the 2010 Unicity Global Convention in Bangkok, Thailand earlier this year. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Close to thirty thousand attendees had just finished watching a spectacular production that honored thousands of Franchise Owners who advanced in rank during the year—and honored the leaders who’ve made an undeniable difference in improving the lives of others all over the world. Messages delivered were translated in over twenty different languages!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />

Time was short. I had no desire to steal the limelight from our leaders. I wanted to leave with them a vision, an idea, a story that they could take home and share with others. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">I’ve been asked on numerous occasions to share copies of what I said—and honestly, it wasn’t really ever written down. I knew at that point in time my job was to open up my heart, to open up my soul and let others see what I see for Unicity. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing">Recently we’ve had those remarks transcribed. I want to share with you today what I shared that day:</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">“There are so many people who need to feel what we’re feeling right now. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Millions of people are living below their potential—scraping out a bare existence because they have no one to lead them. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">When we come together and we see people achieving their dreams, it builds within us both the desire and the confidence that we can also achieve our dreams. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">What you’ve seen here over the last few days and what you’ve heard here is important, but it’s not as important as what you felt here. What you felt here will stay with you forever if you will nourish it and protect it, and most of all, share it. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Share your dreams. Believe in them. Share your passions. And most of all, share your love for people everywhere. Because we are Unicity—one family—brothers and sisters in search of a better life. Let’s not stop trying to share our opportunity with other people. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Someday your life will be over. Someday you’ll be at the very door of death—and I know what that looks like. When you’re at the very door of death you won’t be thinking about money, you won’t be thinking about supercars, or even Patek Philippes. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">You’ll be thinking about how many people you have helped to be better and happier. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">That will be your legacy. It will be your final thought—so I pray that the number is a big number. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">That as you think those final thoughts, you’ll have thousands and thousands of faces that will go across your mind; that you will think of, and be grateful for. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">I’m grateful. I’m grateful for all of you. You who lead, who paid the price to win—and I know it wasn’t easy, but you have become an inspiration to thousands and tens of thousands of people. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">We have leaders here from all over the world, and they have seen it, and now they can feel it. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">About eight months ago, Khun Joe, Khun On, and I met for a short visit in Hong Kong. Khun Joe asked me, ‘Why do you go to Japan so much?’</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">I said, ‘Because we’re working hard to build the business in Japan.’</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">He then said something that has changed my life forever. He said, ‘If you come to Thailand every month, we’ll build a fire so big they’ll be able to see it in Japan!’</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">So Japan, can you see it? </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Europe, can you see it? Philippines, can you see it? Korea can you see it? North America, can you see it? </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Are we going to stop here? No! No stopping! We’re going to build a fire so big that they see it all over the world and they can warm their hearts by the fire, and they can feel confident because of it. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">We are going to be the biggest—the biggest direct marketing company in the world!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">Nothing can stop us now. Nothing! But, we need you to be up here (on the stage). We need you to rise to a higher level of leadership excellence. </div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">A hundred diamonds is not enough!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">A thousand diamonds is not enough!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">We need <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ten thousand diamonds</b>!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">That’s the vision—ten thousand diamonds!</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;"><br />

It caused me to reflect again upon the urgency we all ought to feel about sharing Bios Life Slim with our family and friends. With permission I am posting that email here for you to read. Hopefully it will inspire you to educate and motivate your loved ones to make this amazing product a part of their daily health regimen.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">Hi Stewart,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">I have been wanting to let you know the story about my parents and their experience with Slim and finally feel ready to share.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">When I returned from Salt Lake City last year, I was excited to try the Slim and get my parents on it. My dad (Mel) had been in very poor health (cancer survivor, hip replacement, open heart surgeries, and at the time was recently diagnosed with diabetes), so I was really anxious to see what it could do for him.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">Because they are retired and on a fixed income, I was giving my parents two boxes of Slim a month to use. Mel had to take a shot of insulin daily and sometimes at night because he was prone to cheating with his diet. After just a little over one week, his sugar levels were fantastic (even after pasta). He did not have to take a shot of insulin from April to August while he was using the Slim, he felt great and was very active.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">My mom lost over 30 pounds during this time and she was very skeptical of the product from the onset. She is a huge believer that this product is what has helped curb her cravings and allowed her to manage her weight. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">Because my mom was using the product three times a day, Mel started cutting back because he did not want to ask me for a third box each month. I went to visit them the last weekend of August, they were getting ready to leave for a vacation. Mel seemed to be in pain and I asked him what was going on. He told me that he had stopped taking the Slim two weeks prior and he could really tell. He told me that he had to take insulin shots for the first time since April because his sugar was out of whack. I was upset with him and told him that I would rather spend a little extra money each month and have him feeling good and he agreed to start taking it again as soon as they returned from vacation.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">A few days into their vacation, my mother called and Mel's organs had started to shut down, he was rushed to the Emergency Room in Memphis. He was put on life support and never regained consciousness again. One by one his systems failed and he passed away on September 11th.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">Now, I am not sending this to be all depressing but because I am convinced (and my mom is convinced) that the Slim gave him a better quality of life and when he stopped taking it - his pancreas was the first system to fail which affected all the other systems. I am not a doctor obviously but it's just too coincidental to ignore.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">To end on a positive note, my mom has continued to use Slim and is now down 48 pounds. She said she'd like to lose another 10 or so but I think she looks fantastic. I wish she had done the Sim challenge to begin with.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">Thanks for a wonderful product and opportunity to share it with my loved ones.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">sincerely,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black; font-family: Consolas;">shannon<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It not only gives me energy but makes me feel more alert mentally with zero jitters.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />

The snow is beginning to melt from the lower elevations on the mountains and all the trees and bushes are budding. Springtime reminds me of a story about two farmers.</span></span></b></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Early each Spring, the two farmers look out over their fields. In their hearts, they have similar desires—that the coming Fall season will provide them with a vast harvest. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All Winter the first farmer spends time cleaning and sharpening his tools. The second farmer looks out over his field—hoping that the Fall season will provide him with a vast harvest.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As soon as the snows melted, the first farmer is out in his field carefully preparing the furrows and removing any large stones, while the second farmer looks out over his field—hoping that the Fall season will provide him with a vast harvest.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After the last frost, the first farmer is out in his field dropping his seeds carefully into the furrows and gently covering them with soil. The second farmer is also out—casting his seeds on the ground as he walks around his field. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Throughout the long, hot Summer, the first farmer toils—herding the thin line of irrigation water to the end of each row and pulling weeds wherever he sees them. The second farmer paces the floor of his house—hoping that it will rain and the Fall season will provide him with a vast harvest.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Come Fall, the first farmer has a vast harvest. The second farmer is disappointed again with his meager harvest—wishing that it had rained more and that the birds hadn’t eaten so many of the seeds that he cast in the Spring. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Both farmers are good men. Both have the same desire—that the Fall season will provide them with a good harvest. With a large harvest, they would be able to provide for their families, have seeds for planting in the Spring, and prosper by selling the surplus in the market. Yet despite their equal desires, the first farmer’s harvest was so much larger than the second farmer’s. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first farmer went beyond just hoping for a good harvest. His desire was more than a mere wish—it was a motivating conviction that moved him to action. The first farmer, in order to bring about his desire, took actions—even though harvest time was far away and there was no guarantee that the weather would cooperate, he still took actions. </span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first farmer was cultivating more than crops, he was cultivating self-discipline. When we take actions that move us in the direction of our desires—especially when we can’t see what the outcome might be—that’s self-discipline.</span></div><div class="MsoNoSpacing"><br />
</div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From farming to building your own Bios Life Franchise, be assured, you’re in the right place at the right time with all the right conditions—just add self-discipline.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wishing you all the best with your harvest,</span><br />

Here, less than 150 years ago, the United States’ first transcontinental railroad was completed.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqs9uK6Q-Ho_jRhSJb7hjMynFXegKbYWBWAzWWPq7c1UMXSI3qoJajaG2gxcoAsIntRZD6LDJQ7xd3DrcPqxtIR0JERWc8aOLxCmyDUl9Oqc-6xh5CZLPxVT2l0w0bQGg_xKicAE0q5Nx/s1600-h/east-meets-west.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwqs9uK6Q-Ho_jRhSJb7hjMynFXegKbYWBWAzWWPq7c1UMXSI3qoJajaG2gxcoAsIntRZD6LDJQ7xd3DrcPqxtIR0JERWc8aOLxCmyDUl9Oqc-6xh5CZLPxVT2l0w0bQGg_xKicAE0q5Nx/s320/east-meets-west.jpg" /></a>A story is told of a local farmer who stopped his horse, laid his plow on its side, and walked to the edge of his field to watch the railroad workers build the railroad he had heard so much about. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He saw them level out the ground, place wooden trestles, and then lay the heavy iron tracks on top of the trestles. When they were finished, a train moved forward onto the completed section. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Scratching his head, the farmer turned around and walked back to his plow thinking, “So, that’s it? That’s what this railroad is about? Tracks and trains?”</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It’s true, the farmer did see tracks and a train—but what didn’t he see? </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He didn’t see that for the first time, people would be able to go from one side of the country to the other in just days instead of months. He didn’t see that soon fruits and vegetables, and other food items, could be shipped to where he lived, and that whatever he was growing could be shipped and sold somewhere else.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">He didn’t see that ideas, books, information, and entertainment could be shared and spread across the nation. He didn’t see that new people, different people, could travel and live wherever they wanted to live. All the farmer could see was the tracks and a train. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">What he didn’t see were the possibilities.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ironically, 100 years later when air travel became popular, it was the railroad that failed to see the possibilities. Instead of thinking that it was in the transportation business, the railroad only saw that it was in the tracks and trains business. As a result, many railroads went bankrupt. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Being able to see the possibilities, even in difficult circumstances, can change your future. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Over the past few years, most of the world has been experiencing significant economic and cultural changes. These changes require the ability to see the possibilities in order to thrive and prosper. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Here’s one way to view these changes: </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the first time in history an entire global generation is faced with employment insecurity, meager retirement, eroding company loyalty, and dissolving job satisfaction. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Or you can see the possibilities:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For the first time in history an entire generation all over the world is truly free to control their destiny. The power of choice is completely in the hands of the people. You can choose where and how you work; in fact, you can choose your income. Never before <span style="color: black;">have country club connections and fancy pedigrees mattered so little—what matters now is the desire and discipline to work.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I see evidence of the possibilities everywhere in I visit. Bold entrepreneurs, both men and women, are taking personal responsibility for their financial future. This is nothing short of a revolution that values personal industry, creativity, and teamwork.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you could do something else— something that you control—and receive all the rewards that come to people who see the possibilities, would you make a change if an opportunity like that came along?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you would like to explore the choices you have in your life, then I urge you to do this one thing: consider a career in direct sales as a <a href="http://www.bioslifefranchise.com/home/franchiseopp.html"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Bios Life Franchise Owner</span></b></a>.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Being a Franchise Owner is all about giving you choices, power, and showing you the possibilities.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

It was truly one of <a href="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/tools/video.php?video=174"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 113px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439279851118168818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG_hacWYB7d4R1Bg0ouHAaIpSao-GjS35FmZc-TTOG-UoLcWbQ4hJ3kmnGHXlhTTfDihDuSjvRC5F_Fkrciql1bYfjKb2aTkKg_7_MTLUcr6Xec9lwHt5ulW83f0MC_n0p-Tfc4kOwLpbF/s200/2010+GC-SvcProject_video.jpg" /></a>the high points in my career in our business! For me it began minutes after landing in Bangkok, where, along with over 200 business partners, I joined in the Service Project where Unicity planted over 1000 mangrove trees to help reclaim precious ground from the sea. I was touched with the enthusiastic efforts of our President's Club members from around the world jumping into the mud and water to support this very worthwhile project.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/tools/video.php?video=171"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 113px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439280627744578978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg4JPVsIbm5mLoOqy-C2f0wgVdLyINe7NBmgg7FnAFxSUUHkcLi0whty_M59AexB0VskK3XTkVBz1o2PQVnclNuPw_BF1e-HvnA3VJsvPvtBMGbz_YiURz4EBckIIr2nHySreiJ4VtRMU5/s200/2010GC-blacktie_video.jpg" /></a>The next morning I was awestruck the first time I walked the convention hall. The stage was the largest I have seen and the sea of over 20,000 chairs set up and ready got me excited for the event to begin. That evening the Black Tie qualifiers were treated like royalty as they enjoyed a special evening of food and entertainment.<br /><br />I must admit to some nervous anticipation as the doors opened Friday morning. As the seats <a href="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/tools/video.php?video=173"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 114px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439281321349402306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXX6VrDkQCRkqVd_bSXQp_NBKWLROCrIRvmPsEzeiua-jcCuQfXowCqjMyv2MXevLGYh0m9diDibF0VcIjSU0pIAsRfNgSpc7vzlz89oL087jvn_NRVdIFB1xpklvTy2xOPK7BSXFtosLY/s200/2010+GC_highlight_video.jpg" /></a>began to fill and flags began to wave, I saw my Unicity partners filling up row after row of chairs. I saw the excitement and anticipation in the eyes of everyone. Many of you had made great sacrifices to attend and I am grateful for each one of you. Once the event began the time flew by. Rather than try to put everything into words I have attached some video links, as well as a link in the right side border to the <a href="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/mp3/glc020810edit.mp3"><strong>Global Leadership Call</strong></a> I recorded while still in Bangkok.<br /><br />I was inspired by the stories I heard.

The vision I shared is <strong>10,000 Diamonds</strong>. Will you be one of them?

I met with five of our key leaders and spoke for a few minutes at the monthly Bangkok training meeting (attendance 6,000). Then I got back on a plane and began the 25 hours back to Utah.

His grandmother cared for him until she passed away when he was 13. During these years he had to work long days at any kind of work he could get to help put food on the table. After age 13 he was completely on his own. He taught himself how to survive. He somehow managed to learn how to read and write. Before he found <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Unicity</span> the most money he had ever had at one time was 6,000 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bhat</span> (about $175.00).

A new year where anything can happen and everything is possible!<br /></div><br /><div style="MARGIN-TOP: -40px; WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_one.jpg" width="145" height="97" /><br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />The beginning of a new year has always been an important time for me. I try to do an evaluation of the past year's performance in all aspects of my life. This can be a sobering experience as I often come up short in some of what I had hoped to do and to become. Nevertheless, it is important to reflect and to renew the determination to keep pushing forward. As we all know, it is in the “struggle” that we develop the strength and refinements that bring lasting satisfaction.<br /><br />I’m certain that there are those who did not achieve all of their goals for 2009. Each of us has had years when we didn’t really get where we wanted to go—or at least as far as we wanted. A year like that can be absolutely critical to our future happiness—if we choose our response to it correctly.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_two.jpg" width="145" height="149" /><br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left"><br />If we choose to mope about or engage in self-pity or worse yet, in blaming others, we are most likely to repeat the unsatisfying year or do even worse. On the other hand, if we learn from our mistakes, build on our successes, and reignite our enthusiasm, then that disappointing year becomes the platform for our future success.<br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />All of the really important successes that I have been blessed to enjoy have come after a disappointment. In fact, it was from the failure to achieve that I learned what I needed to know to get what I really wanted.<br /><br />I believe that success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals. One fundamental lesson I learned early in life is that hard work is the great equalizer.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br />You may not have all the talents another person enjoys but you can work hard enough to be equal to, or even greater, in achievement. In my 20s, I realized that there were a lot of people more talented than I am and<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_three.jpg" width="145" height="84" /><br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />smarter than I am. I decided that if I was going Be, Do and Have, all that I had dreamed, I would have to work harder than those more talented people.<br /><br />I consider that decision to be one of the most important decisions of my life. What about you? Your gifts and talents are what they are, but your choices are yours to make every minute of every day and it is in your choices that success is determined.<br /><br />An important part of my evaluation has been our progress as a company. Unicity has enjoyed another good year. We certainly had our “struggles” yet we kept our focus on our goals and built on the success of 2008. I am pleased to say that we continued the trend of increasing success in each of our business metrics. I know that many of you also had strong growth in your respective businesses. Some of you have set records for yourself and a few have set records in the company. I applaud your success and hope that you will drive forward and build on that success in 2010.<br /><br />This year, I continued visiting our global markets as often as possible—traveling more than 225,000 miles in airplanes. I crossed the Pacific Ocean 20 times and the Atlantic 8 times. Occasionally I’m asked, in the age of email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and VOIP why do I travel at all? Why don’t I let technology do the work? Does personally being there really matter? Aren’t I running myself ragged?<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_four.jpg" width="145" height="100" /><br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left"><br />I confess that there are occasions when those technologies come in handy. And there are times when being away from home is downright painful. But I can tell you this: personally being there matters. It’s important to me to sit knee-to-knee and eye-to-eye with a<br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />leader, a government official, or a prospect. It’s important to me that they can sense my love and commitment to making life better. Traveling two days for a two-hour meeting on the surface may not seem efficient, but in the right situation, it is very effective.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br />As a company, our passion, our unique ability, and how we create significant value in this world is that we build people. I have learned that building people happens best one person at a time and usually face to face.<br /><br /><br /><br />Certainly, we improve health by offering state-of-the-art nutritional products. In addition, our Make Life Better Foundation has raised and donated millions of dollars to charities.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_five.jpg" width="145" height="173" /><br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />However, another company may be able to match our service projects and charitable contributions, in fact, other companies may try to imitate our products; but they will never be able to match our passion and our matchless, one-of-a-kind capacity to build new distributors into thriving, prosperous Franchise Owners.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_six.jpg" width="145" height="189" /><br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left"><br />We offer people the tools, training, support, and encouragement they need to prosper—and they can’t get this anywhere else. Building people is about showing them how to create a growing income, how to build a business that gives them control of their life and allowing more time to spend on the things that are most important. Building people is about giving them choices, power, motivation, education, and helping them see the possibilities.<br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />Something magical happens when people start to grow into their potential.<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br />We teach people how to teach people and how to live better. In short: we teach people how to be leaders. Building leaders always requires getting<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_eight.jpg" width="145" height="62" /><br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />knee-to-knee and eye-to-eye. It requires building and sustaining value driven relationships. Dag Hammarskjold, past Secretary-General of the United Nations, said, “It is more noble to give yourself completely to one individual than to labor diligently for the salvation of the masses.” Just imagine the growth of Unicity if next year every single Franchise Owner worldwide taught just one other person how to be an effective and self-reliant leader!<br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 145px; FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both; MARGIN-RIGHT: 20px"><br /><img src="http://www.unicity.net/usa/enews/images/nym_seven.jpg" width="145" height="240" /><br /></div><br /><div style="WIDTH: 235px; FLOAT: left"><br />Leadership is about vision and imagination and stretching for greater heights. It’s about affirmation and encouragement. It’s about teaching and correcting. It’s about good listening and good coaching. It’s about planning with a purpose and working hard to turn good plans into good results. It’s about changing lives for the better.<br /><br />When you become a more effective leader—with your Franchise Organization, or at home, at church, in the community and elsewhere—your life changes for the better, too.<br /></div><br /><div style="FLOAT: left; CLEAR: both"><br />Let us make 2010 a personal call to leadership. Becoming and creating leaders should be our highest priority, our greatest strength, our most significant contribution, and our solemn promise.<br /><br /><br />All the best,<br /><br /><img src="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/images/stewart_sig.jpg" width="150" height="59" /><br />Stewart Hughes<br />CEO<br />Unicity International<br /></div></div>Stewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417915519870121995.post-59281181285431482392009-11-10T10:40:00.006-07:002009-11-11T12:56:20.380-07:00Hello From Thailand!Hello Friends,<br /><br /><br />It seems many times I write I am in Thailand.

We have had to produce four times our original supply just to keep up with the demand.

The company continued its strong growth pattern in almost every market. Most of our markets were up double digits for the month as was the company overall. <br /><br />One of things I was always aware of as a Franchise Owner was my own organization’s market share. In other words I would try to measure how my business was doing contrasted to the overall company. Eventually this became irrelevant as my business became 99% of the company’s business. However, in the early days this was not the case. <br /><br />Being focused on where you are and where you want to be can make the difference between major success and just getting by. One of my favorite quotes is from Thomas S. Monson and goes like this:<br /><br />When you deal in generalities you will never succeed,<br />When you deal in specifics you will rarely have a failure.<br />When performance is measured performance improves, and,<br />When performance is measured and reported back the rate of improvement accelerates.<br /><br />This piece of wisdom has been a great benefit to me. When I find myself slowing down in my productive actions I can almost always find the reason why in this little quote. I get back to dealing in specifics and back to measuring my performance and my productivity comes back pretty quick.<br /><br />ALL the best,<br /><br />StewartStewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417915519870121995.post-26121519468599008952009-06-05T21:37:00.003-06:002009-06-05T22:40:31.264-06:00Four StagesHello friends,<br /><br />The other day I was reminded about a talk I heard years ago given by a leader in our industry. He spoke about the Four Stages of life. He said that at any given point in time everyone is always in one of these stages. <br /><br />The stages are:<br /> <br />1-Building <br />2-Managing<br />3-Excusing<br />4-Blaming<br /><br />Interestingly enough each stage easily leads into the the next stage unless disciplined action is taken. Only the first stage produces happiness and productivity. When we are "Building" we are in a state of advancement and that brings us the good things of life but more importantly it brings us deep personal satisfaction. During the "Building" stage we may be working like crazy and under all kinds of pressure but we don't find it unpleasant or unhealthy. In fact most people say that when they look back on their life it is the memories of those seasons when they were "Building" that bring them the most happiness. <br /><br />The other three stages are a slippery slope leading to misery and disaster. When we slide from "Building" to "Managing" we are choosing to leave the role of leader and builder and become the person who says "Do what I say, not what I do." When we are honest with ourselves we know that example is more important than words and we go back to "Building" and set the proper example for others to follow. <br /><br />If we don't break out of the slide and get back to "Building" we soon move from "Managing " to "Excusing". This is a miserable place. The person who is in this stage has an excuse for everything that goes wrong in his or her life. People in the "Excusing" stage are really unproductive because they spend so much of their time coming up with reasons why they are unproductive. <br /><br />When a person is in the "Excusing" stage it is very hard to avoid the slide to the "Blaming" stage. That move is actually pretty short. It doesn't take much time to move from coming up with excuses for your failure to actually putting a name with the excuse or even as the excuse. When a person reaches the "Blaming" stage he or she is really at rock bottom. They have given up all personal accountability for their situation. As a result of choosing to blame others they no longer have confidence in their own ability to make things happen--it is always someone else's fault. <br /><br />The good news is that any and all of us can decide in a split second to leave the "Managing", "Excusing" or even the "Blaming" stage and get back to "Building". We all have the ability to take response-ability for what happens to us and be a "Builder". At Unicity this choice carries huge implications because we are in the leadership business. What we do is what others will do. If we are "Managing" or "Excusing" or "Blaming" we will have many people in our organizations doing the exact same thing. But if we get back to "Building", and stay there, we will find the people in our organizations building too and that is what we call leverage.<br /><br />People have asked me if it is possible to always stay in the "Building" stage and the answer is YES!!! In fact it is essential that you stay there, at least if you want to be happy and successful. So keep "Building", build new skills, build new habits and most of all build new leaders. You will feel great as you do!<br /><br />All the best,<br />StewartStewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417915519870121995.post-80404114460785008162009-05-29T11:21:00.004-06:002009-05-29T11:45:06.211-06:00The Time is Now!<span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Georgia', 'serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-: EN-USfont-family:'Times New Roman';font-size:12;" >Greetings everyone,<br /><br />It has been a while since my last entry--no excuses just working hard and having fun.<br /><br />As the world continues to muddle along in this recession Unicity continues to grow. We are seeing month over month growth in sales and new franchise owners. Slim is one big reason for that growth. Another is our incredible compensation plan! I hear amazing stories every month as brand new people join us and make more money in their first month or two than they did in the previous six months. One woman told me that she made more in her first month with Unicity than she did in her last 12 months in her old business.<br /><br />Are you taking advantage of this truly great moment in time?<br />Have you made your goals?<br />Have you resolved to make the changes necessary to build a stronger and better life?<br />Are you investing in yourself?<br /><br />I ask these questions because I know what it takes to break out of the cycle of mediocrity—you CAN’T do it by degrees—you have to bust loose much like a car gets free from being stuck in the mud. So bust loose! Make it your determination to be somebody special—to do great things and to no longer live an ordinary life.

<br />
We have just concluded the Japan National Convention. The theme was "Make The Future". It was a great event with about 2,000 people attending. We recognized two new Rubys, three new Sapphires and 4 new Presidential Executives.<br />
<br />
The keynote speaker was the Gold medal winner in Olympics for Judo. He taught life is always about choice. A person can use failure to make him stronger and prepared for greater success or to justify quitting the pursuit of his dream. We choose what will be!<br />
<br />
He then shared some very powerful experiences from his own life supporting the principles he had taught. I found his presentation absolutely great!<br />
<br />
The Japan Management Team had also invited Dr. Neal Secrist, a Presidential Diamond from the US, to attend and present at the Convention. He did a great job teaching about the power of Slim to help people avoid many health problems, in addition to burning fat. Neal also briefly talked about why a doctor would want to build a Unicity business. Dr. Secrist was joined on this trip by his wife Kim and I understand they were both treated very well by their new friends in Japan!<br />
<br />
It is great to be around people who are focused on being positive--I love this business.<br />

I am fully adjusted to the Mountain Time Zone. I don’t have an airline reservation for another 4 weeks. I think I may have stepped in to someone else’s life—but I like it. Hopefully you are doing and feeling as well as I am.<br /><br />There are always minor glitches that happen in our lives. For instance my computer just crashed and I have lost all my future appointments and reminders. I started to feel a little irritated and then I remembered that I have been using a computer for 20 years and this is the first time I’ve had one crash—that’s not too bad. If I can go another 20 years until it happens again I will feel pretty blessed in the computer department.<br /><br />Sometimes you get some pretty cool surprises too. This past week I got a letter from the Governor of the State of Utah congratulating Unicity for being selected as one of the Top 500 privately held companies in America. I was pleased to find that we had been selected as #87 out of the top 500 in the USA and #1 out of the top 100 in the State of Utah. We will be sharing more about this recognition in the coming week but I thought you might like to see the letter from Governor Jon Huntsman. Click on this link to read the letter. <a href="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/enews/other/Top%20500%20Huntsman%202009-02-24.pdf">TOP 500 LETTER</a><br /><br />Another fun thing that happened this past week was getting to listen to an audio<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhffe6nMxLNOdFGmnuxvL1FtyPNZWo4gexdnodkxrtm6xaKvMnip0HNqvW1APi6OM7sX-PzelccYY6td4CJGWbgdXflOv5RN1AjrrFmn-ay_U7DTNM_IaerPPm0gsO2Qa0z805K-vLbNlx4/s1600-h/rexall.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 100px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 100px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311336101110021794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhffe6nMxLNOdFGmnuxvL1FtyPNZWo4gexdnodkxrtm6xaKvMnip0HNqvW1APi6OM7sX-PzelccYY6td4CJGWbgdXflOv5RN1AjrrFmn-ay_U7DTNM_IaerPPm0gsO2Qa0z805K-vLbNlx4/s200/rexall.jpg" /></a> presentation I had done 14 years ago when I was working as franchise owner. My good friend Paul Kero sent me this MP3 file he had found of me making a conference call presentation to potential new partners. I wasn’t too sure I wanted to listen to myself from 14 years ago but my curiosity finally overwhelmed my fear of feeling ridiculous. I quickly found myself transported back to 1994—some great memories. After listening I decided I was ready to sign up all over again. So if you ever wanted to know how I built my business “back in the day” go ahead and click on this link. It will take about nine minutes to hear it all. <a href="http://www.usa.makelifebetter.com/enews/other/Conference%20Call.mp3">1994 Conference Call</a><br /><br />I am currently re-reading Napoleon Hill’s classic book “Think and Grow Rich” – for about the 50th time. It is as inspiring to me as it always is — I fully recommend it to you. The first three chapters hold the key to getting your business off the ground. The rest of the book will tell you how to achieve dreams that you didn’t believe were remotely possible for you. I have been reading this book since I was 21 years old. The title sometimes puts people off but don’t let it bother you. The book is not really about money it is about learning how to turn dreams into reality. If you haven’t read it already - or if you haven’t read it in the last 12 months - you should do so immediately.<br /><br />Great things are happening in Unicity right now. Make sure you are getting your share of the growth.<br /><br />All the best,<br />StewartStewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417915519870121995.post-2008579401157349442009-02-25T17:27:00.008-07:002009-02-25T17:41:34.197-07:00<div><div>Dear friends,<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sf2ShQCww3aT-zBl85XrEV6GOod5-ghZUhyVw81vix0RglkVrNPdGQPwz2i-hi_THgzHv-dg3ftPCe_h_41WTrUVyY7AO_SEHexW95Dv_RZ4NYuXpBEvkRvuADspX9YFrFirESb77mod/s1600-h/Todd"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306898063955967586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4sf2ShQCww3aT-zBl85XrEV6GOod5-ghZUhyVw81vix0RglkVrNPdGQPwz2i-hi_THgzHv-dg3ftPCe_h_41WTrUVyY7AO_SEHexW95Dv_RZ4NYuXpBEvkRvuADspX9YFrFirESb77mod/s200/Todd" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCimfQXX5nIFcJLXJKGzvKP0t5Uovp_5vNIQ-WeNzYYTj3TwM7fjdEUdjEzX_NbYVvPJC2tYLj9h5gokEle_BLRwF8RS79ZGPSiijPC-ONpzwFFMiyX5HBnjgFg1ofqQRgdsyduIgF7Gs/s1600-h/Resort"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306898344189291314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDCimfQXX5nIFcJLXJKGzvKP0t5Uovp_5vNIQ-WeNzYYTj3TwM7fjdEUdjEzX_NbYVvPJC2tYLj9h5gokEle_BLRwF8RS79ZGPSiijPC-ONpzwFFMiyX5HBnjgFg1ofqQRgdsyduIgF7Gs/s200/Resort" /></a><br />This past weekend Todd Smith hosted a Diamond Leadership Summit for our top North American leaders. 100 leaders from all over the continent gathered in Todd's hometown of Sarasota, Florida to learn the principles that will propel them to Diamond status.

I have been taking calls since I came home from leaders that have decided to take their business to a new level as a result of the vision they got in Sarasota.<br /><br />Watch for information on the next Leadership Summit in Deer Valley, Utah.

The first event was on Friday where the President's Club leaders all came together in Tokyo for strategy discussions and advanced leadership training. The meetings were fantastic with an incredible spirit of unity and optimism. We then enjoyed an amazing formal dinner and great conversation. My appreciation for the skill and intelligence of the leaders in Japan just keeps growing.<br /><br />On Saturday we took the winners of the bi-monthly recruiting contest to the base of Mt. Fuji for a traditional Japanese BBQ. After lunch we went to a curling center.

You may have seen this on the Winter Olympics. Let me tell you that this sport is a lot harder than it looks and incredibly more strategic than I had ever imagined. We all learned much about team building and strategy and even had a few moments when the "Stone" actually got in the "House."<br /><br />I spent the day in the Utah office on Monday and then went to the airport at 4:30 AM Tuesday to catch my flight to Cancun, Mexico. It was snowing and 28 degrees Fahrenheit when I left <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghuFotH3jMEioL3_Wm7x4Nz9rN89ByyPS0gxvEQ50QUJQF95S8iqGNYdjv3uDx6Gh8XxxCqQxF9IbOwDnR0fh-ueXwPE9I6WWGhWZKYnJUaja-mHah4obghgoujgtT-q25Jou_4-ppzM66/s1600-h/cancun1.bmp"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5301332213486865938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 132px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghuFotH3jMEioL3_Wm7x4Nz9rN89ByyPS0gxvEQ50QUJQF95S8iqGNYdjv3uDx6Gh8XxxCqQxF9IbOwDnR0fh-ueXwPE9I6WWGhWZKYnJUaja-mHah4obghgoujgtT-q25Jou_4-ppzM66/s200/cancun1.bmp" border="0" /></a>Utah and about 80 degrees F when I got off the plane in Cancun--that was nice! The European leaders are enjoying their rewards trip here this week in a beautiful resort right on the water. In fact as I type this I am looking out on the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. I wish you were here--what I really wish is that I could stay a little longer. Tomorrow I go back to the office in snowy Utah but the good news is that 25 of our top leaders from Korea will be there visiting the corporate office as part of their reward trip. They are enjoying some fun in Las Vegas and then will come up to Utah for a tour of the offices and dinner at my home on Thursday. It will be good to see them--they produced a great year in 2008.<br /><br />Like I said it has been quite a week. I should be exhausted, but fatigue gets swallowed up in the excitement and growth we are seeing around the world. Even more satisfying is the growth we are seeing in the leaders of our company in all of the markets where we compete. Let's make this another record year for Unicity, but especially a record year for you!<br /><br />All the best,<br />Stewart</div></div>Stewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417915519870121995.post-44904030863128104682009-02-05T11:24:00.004-07:002009-02-06T15:29:44.268-07:00Greetings from JapanHello everyone,<br /><br />I am back in Japan. Just got here yesterday for a special President's Club training and dinner. Japan is certainly on a roll right now having just posted another great month in January. This is especially impressive because in Japan the first week of the new year all businesses are closed. So they got it done in a three week month. I am proud of the work that is being done here by the leaders and the management team. They are really working together and the harmony is producing great synergy.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Whenever</span> I come to Japan I have the added benefit of being able to drink our own special water. Yes, we sell a very cool bottled water here in Japan. I started noticing some time ago that when I would be here for about five days or longer (always drinking our own water each day) I would begin to feel really good. I had more strength and stamina, the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">jet lag</span> wasn't so bad and the travel home was much easier. Now when I check into my hotel the staff smiles and hands me a bag with a large bottle of our water in it--the highlight of getting to my room is to begin hydrating with this water of ours. It has come to a point that I need to do some serious research as to why this is happening to me and what makes this water so special. I will begin that process on this trip and let you know.<br /><br />I am looking forward to our Global Leadership Call this coming Monday. It is going be great information and I will have with me two very exciting guests. You won't want to miss it! Check the Unicity website for the call-in details.<br /><br />All the best,<br />StewartStewart Hugheshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02067786834032688669noreply@blogger.com0
