October!

First off I have to say WOW, what a month this team had for September!
Turned in our Highest PV ever. More of you earned bonuses than ever before, and a few are in the 500+PV bracket.
Then... Many of you took me up on the 10% or 15% offer for Vitalizer and the Vitalizer Packs.

I have sent out the rebate checks. You should be getting those soon.

BIG NEWS!!!

Al Gore shares the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on Climate Change! It doesn't matter what your political views are (Climate change doesn't care), this is a win for the world. It has raised the level of awareness and importance of stopping climate change before we reach the tipping point.
There is a lot of talk about countries not able to combat climate change because it will hurt the economy.
This is a bunch of horse droppings. There are many, many ways to drastically reduce our climate impact without any negative effects on the economy. In fact there are new revenues to be had.

Unfortunately this administration has no interest in making any real changes. That doesn't mean the United States can't lead the world in reducing our footprint. Each of us can make a difference. Each of us can make a BIG difference. I am not talking about wearing sackcloth and Birkenstock, getting off the grid, and walking everywhere. I am talking about changes all of us can make, and teach others to make similar changes.

Yes Get Clean is a great first step. I don't have to tell you how much a Start Kit saves.

Smart Strips are another easy and quick way to save energy. Did you know that most of your appliances don't really turn off when you hit the off button? They often use as much as 20% of the on power even when you think you turned it off. Smart Strips make sure they are turned off all the way.

Compact Fluorescent bulbs save a huge amount of energy and last a very long time.
LED lights use even less energy and don't contain some of the nasty products found in Fluorescent bulbs, but they are still very costly. The costs will becoming down soon and you should use those when they become viable.

I used to drive a Jeep Cherokee, to work. I felt pretty good about getting over 20mpg with a 4X4.
I now have a Toyota Matrix that gets 32-35 mpg (depending on the wind in the pass). When the weather is good, I drive my motorcycle that gets 45mpg. Going from 20mpg to 45mpg saves significant amount of gas. I am not saying everyone should go out and get a motorcycle, but if you find yourself alone in a Hummer H2 (or 3), maybe a different car would be in order when the lease is up.

There are so many little things we can do that would all add up to huge energy savings.

Think about it. Lets say we as a country decide to take this on, and really cut our energy consuption.  Then it turns out that Climate change turns out not to be the problem we see today. What have we lost? What have we gained?

Then again. What if we don't do anything and the predictions about climate change come true. Then what?

Vitalizer – Redefining Vitality

I want to talk about Vitalizer and the new Wellness Packs

A new landmark study showed that people who took Shaklee supplements had markedly better health than both users of other multivitamins and users who took no supplements. Shaklee supplement users retained normal levels of:

• Blood pressure* • HDL cholesterol* • Triglycerides* • C-reactive protein* • Homocysteine*

Shaklee used the results of the study to create Vitalizer. They also invented new ways to manufacture the supplements to improve the ability of your body to make maximum use of the nutrients. In fact Vitalizer is protected by 12 patents. 2 more are still pending, but assuming those are granted that is 14 patents!

The S.M.A.R.T. Release system is the new technology used in Vitalizer. SMART stands for Shaklee Micronutrient Advanced Release Technology.

SMART means the nutrients are released in the correct place in the digestive system, to maximize the body's ability to use the nutrients. This means you don't need as many tablets to get the same benefits.

Here is what is in a Vitalizer pack:

Vita-Lea®: (Available in three different formulations: with or without iron or Vita-Lea Gold™ with vitamin K).

Folic acid microcoating for immediate release in stomach.

Caroto-E-Omega: A softgel capsule containing carotenoids, vitamin E, tocotrienols and omega-3 fatty acids (a half-serving of OmegaGuard™) with a pH-activated enteric coating to protect it from stomach acid.

Contents release only after reaching the upper intestine.

Optiflora® Probiotic: Triple-layer encapsulation protects live probiotic cultures through stomach and

upper intestine for release in lower intestine.

B+C Complex: Essential B vitamins and vitamin C in a sustained-release gel-diffusion delivery mechanism that’s clinically proven to maintain blood nutrient levels over 12 hours.

Why Vitalizer?

Shaklee scientists studied and analyzed this breakthrough information and designed Vitalizer. Vitalizer provides:

• Vitamins + Minerals your body needs, in a S.M.A.R.T delivery system technology for enhanced absorption.

• Most Powerful Antioxidant Spectrum: Superior protection against free radical damage with full-spectrum vitamin E derived from eight natural forms and 26 antioxidants working together to augment your body’s antioxidant network.

• Anti-aging phytonutrients, including lutein and lycopene, to protect DNA and support healthy aging.

• Seven omega-3s from ultrapure pharmaceutical grade fish oil help promote heart, brain, and joint health.

• Live probiotics in a patented delivery system to ensure beneficial organisms arrive alive in intestines to support healthy digestion and immunity.

Vitalizer Wellness Packs

Includes Vitalizer, NutriFeron and one canister of Energizing Soy Protein or one canister of Cinch™ Shake Mix.

Its hard to overstate the value of the Wellness Packs. Adding the Protein and NutriFeron to the Vitalizer packs, you will be providing your body a nutritionally superior base. This is so important for you. It doesn't matter in your a teen ager or a prime-ager. Feeding your body the nutrients found in the Wellness Packs means you will be having a healthier life. Less illness, fewer doctor visits, less use of prescriptions, means a more fun for you.

"The study results were very impressive and support the potential benefits of long-term use of dietary supplements."

The Gold Ambassador Program is brand new. It is the BEST way to sponsor new people into Shaklee. Its so good YOU want to become a Gold Ambassador also.

As a Gold Ambassador you are also a Global Ambassador which means you can build Shaklee groups in any of the countries Shaklee is in.

When sponsoring with a Mission Pac, the new distributor gets about $500 worth of materials and product for $300.

When you sponsor someone as a GOld Ambassador you are paid $50.00. This is the starting amount in Level one.

Once you 12 Ambassadors in your group. Meaning you sponsored at least 3 and your sponsors have sponsored enough to give you a group total of 12 you move to Level 2.

In Level 2 you get paid $75 for each person you sponsor PLUS you get $25 for each one they sponsor! Each time you get another 12 you move to the next level until you reach Level 4 which pays $125 & $75.

NOW.. Here is the kicker. When you sonsors sponsor Golds, you get paid to unlimited levels! Even is the levels would go down past what you would get credit for on a bonus recap you still get paid!

There is a lot of information about this the web site. But don't worry about understanding it all. Shaklee will pay you anyway.

To get started you can buy an Ambassador Pac for $299 and get $500 worth of products and services including personal website setup and 3 months free, New Wellcome pack, and the certificate for a free product.

OR

You can become a Global Ambassador and sponsor at least one Gold by the end of November.

NOW!!!

If you currently are an Associate, you are already at Level 2.
You only need to sponsor one Gold by November to maintain this. You get paid on the down lines right a way!

TEAM UP!

I left this in from last month sonce we are still in the contest.
If you have anyone you think may be interested in (or need) Shaklee let me know. If they sponsor I will move them into your group, and it will help me out a lot!

My Folks and I are in a contest call Team Up!

It is made up of almost 600 teams of 6. We are competing for prizes like Tea-shirts, Mugs, and Hats!
The purpose of the contest of to get all of us to build our business. We each have goals for sponsoring new members, PV, presentations and other IPAs. Income Producing Activities.
So any help from this team would be greatly appreciated. Increasing PV by purchaes or new sponsors would be very welcomed.
I have a new website for new people. This site has tons of information for those wondering about Shaklee and those that have sponsored and now want to learn more.
Take a look a the movie than click 'Next Step' and fill in the form. For the "Who Referred You" field, just put in "Newsletter". Filling out the form gives you access to the "Class Rooms" and the rest of the site.
When sending someone new to the site have them use your name as the Referrer.
This is a great site. I hope everyone will take a look. Maybe get some ideas on how to share shaklee with others.
It’s a very painless way to let others know an awful lot about Shaklee.

Starting to Build a Business

Your Plan of Action:

So, you have been thinking about earning some extra money, but not sure what concrete steps you can take to get started?

1) DREAM Write down your 'why' for joining Shaklee. Consider what you'd like your ideal future to be and create your personal vision of success for you and your Shaklee business.
2) COMMIT Start your personal wellness program today. Shakleeize your home, and invest in your business.
3) LIST Create a starter list of people you know that you would like to share Shaklee with.
4) INVITE Contact your possible partners and invite them to learn about the Shaklee Opportunity.
5) SHARE Share your personal story and enthusiasm for the Shaklee lifestyle. Shaklee has lots of tools that make it easy to share.
6) SPONSOR Bring partners into your business by simply helping them take the same steps you took.
7) TEACH Teach others to take these same simple steps toward realizing their own personal dreams. Use yourself as an example. Encourage them to join and enjoy the Shaklee lifestyle just as you have.

That's it! Just seven little things. Ok, some are not so little, but as you know, if you take a task that seems too big or hard to do, and you break that task down to it parts, you'll find the parts aren't so hard. If you do the small parts, you end up completing the big task.

If you need help breaking down one of the tasks let me know. We will work on it together.

Bonuses!

Shaklee pays bonuses when your monthly Group Purchase Value reaches 250.

GPV is made up from the PV of your purchases, purchases of people who buy from you and purchases of those you sponsor. All these add to your GPV. Once you reach 250PV you earn 4% base bonuses. Add to this the approximately 16% price differential and your total bonus is about 20%. Shaklee pays on the 15th of each month and you receive your check a few days later.

In order for you to receive a bonus you must be a Distributor and your Personal PV must be 100 or more.

Let's say you reorder the full Cinch program. Your PV is 208. Last month a friend wanted to get onto the program working for you and gets the Cinch Starter Kit with a PV of 125.

Your total GPV is 333. 333 x .2 = $66.60. This is an approximate amount depending on your price differential earnings which varies by product. Base bonus schedule is:

Title Your PV Your GPV Base %
Member 0 0 0
Distributor 100 250-499 4%
100 500-499 8%
Associate 100 1,000-1,999 12%
Director 100 2,000-2,499 16%
