Voices from the Field: Business testimonials
I am a very new IBA. Michael Van Ditto is my sponsor and a great mentor. I have been taking StemPlex for only a short while. I am also taking Super Q10, the enzymes, and Spectrabiotic. I have not had this much energy in my life. I feel like a new person. What great products! I can't wait to get started on my business. Thank you! Karen
It is amazing to me to realize that I was first introduced to Super Blue Green Algae and network marketing on the same day back in 1987. I was 32 years old at the time, and was seven full years into my career as a Health Educator and Nutrition Counselor. But living in a rural area of New Hampshire, I was never able to earn a full-time income, and so I moonlighted as a waiter and carpenter and jack-of-all-trades. But no matter how hard and long I worked, the result was the same: too much month at the end of the money, if you know what I mean. I was frustrated with my work life and wondered each and every day if I was ever going to make a serious full-time income doing what I loved and what I felt called to do, which is to teach people the fundamentals of health and nutrition. I had been devoted to organic foods and holistic and alternative lifestyles since I was 18 years old. So when I heard about this brand-new but ancient superfood called Super Blue Green Algae, I was willing to give it a try. So I called the company and ordered one bottle of Alpha Sun and one bottle of Omega Sun. I took one capsule from each bottle each morning for 14 days in a row. And on day 14 something very exciting happened that I will never forget. My whole body and mind came back to 100% vitality! It was clear to me within a matter of minutes what was going on. Mr. Nutrition Counselor (me) was suffering from nutritional deficiencies! I had been missing key micronutrients in my diet that the Super Blue Green Algae was supplying. This was the only logical explanation, and it turned out to be absolutely true. The rest, as they say, is history. It took me 14 days to experience the benefits of the products; but it took me a little longer to experience the benefits of the network marketing opportunity, which proved to be at least as important in my life as the product benefits. Basically what happened was this: I came to the realization that if I had been suffering from nutritional deficiencies, then everyone else on the planet?or at least in the U.S.?was most likely suffering in the same way! And suddenly there was a simple, easy, and affordable solution to this very difficult and complex problem. I believed at the time (and still believe today) that the discovery of Super Blue Green Algae is one of the most important and transformational health discoveries of our time. And so I felt a deep personal responsibility to tell everyone I knew about Super Blue Green Algae. And that's exactly what I did, starting with my family and closest relatives, and then with my friends and my clients. During the next couple of months, I had encouraged 30-40 people to place an order for one bottle of Alpha Sun and one bottle of Omega Sun. Then something really interesting happened. One day I got a letter from the company with a check inside made out to me for about $300. I had no idea what was going on and simply assumed that there had been a mistake. I called the company and found out it was not a mistake; it was the result of something called network marketing. The company was paying me for referring new customers to them. Wow. This really got my attention for two very important reasons: 1) Since changing my diet and lifestyle in 1973, I had referred hundreds of people to many new health care products and not a single one of those companies had ever sent me a commission check for the customers I had referred to them; and 2) Back in 1987, $300 was a good week's income for me, so getting a check for $300 for doing something I had been doing my whole adult life and never getting paid for before was an enormous paradigm-shifting experience that shook the foundations of my beliefs about money and work. For me, discovering network marketing and Simplexity Health was like finding Aladdin's lamp. Think about it. What three things would you wish for that would allow you to do whatever you wanted to do? You might wish for financial freedom, the freedom from having to trade hours for dollars. You would have no debt whatsoever, and lots and lots of extra money. How about time freedom, the freedom to do only what you want to do when you want to do it? Imagine that! But neither of these freedoms would mean much if you didn't have the vitality, energy, and health to enjoy them! So your wishes on the proverbial Aladdin's lamp could be health, wealth, and time freedom. And that's the promise of network marketing, the essence of the Simplexity Health opportunity. I've been happily and consistently engaged in this life-changing opportunity for the past 21 years. My plan is to be involved for the rest of my life! Russell Mariani
I received a tape in 1995 telling me how great Super Blue Green Algae products were. I really thought it was too good to be true, but it started me thinking, so I listened to it again. And I realized I had been needing help to get my work done or something to help me be able to do it myself, which was what I really wanted, so I decided to give the algae a try. I had been taking large amounts of vitamins from a health food store, but had never gotten any kind of guarantee, and the products never gave me the energy I needed. Now someone was offering me a 60-day guarantee, so I figured that if the algae products did not work, they could go back. Well, after a few days, I noticed I was getting more energy; after a week, I was really feeling better, and at the end of three weeks, I was SOLD. My husband had been working out of town for several weeks. When he came home, he noticed that I had more energy, and remarked that he was very tired. I asked if he would like to try something that might help, and he replied that he was willing to try anything. Since then, we have both experienced so many changes. In fact, we began to see our doctor so seldom that she thought we had gotten a new doctor! We are both 65 now and our health is great, with no health challenges or the need for drugs of any kind. We look younger, have healthier skin, and even have no dandruff problems. I started sharing the products with others because I wanted to make a difference in their lives too. I also wanted to help others earn an income, to simply pay for their algae products or maybe replace their "day job" altogether and enable them to work from home and have more time with their families. I consider the algae products a gift from God, and enjoy the fact that the company is making a difference in the world by sharing the products with less fortunate people through the Simple Solutions projects. I have always felt that Simplexity Health would someday be nationally known for our unique products and our caring Business Associates. When we are together for our regional meetings, there is not a happier or more caring, kind, and supportive group of people to be with. And the company works hard to support Business Associates in so many ways. We are truly a "people business" with the kind of unique, natural, organic products that people are looking for today. Pat Shoup
I have been working with my upline doing three way calls, and the synergy and support are reminding me of how wonderful this business can be. Here are excerpts from a letter I received from a new person: "I was almost in tears last night and also as I write this at how great it feels to have two gifted women who do not even know me take on my case with such caring hearts. I am that kind of person as well, but to tell you the truth, no one ever does things like this for me . Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will add you to my prayer list. I feel like God has sent me two beautiful guardian angels, and I am eternally grateful I cannot express my overwhelming gratitude for your time, experience, and loving care!" It's always gratifying to know that we are making a difference in someone's life. Virginia Sustarsic
When I first encountered Simplexity Health back in 1996, I didn't have a clue what I was taking. Good nutritional choices weren't a part of my daily routine. Within weeks, I knew I could share these life-changing products with others. My personal growth with this company has changed me over the last 12 years. I heard that eating these foods instills wisdom in us, because it is one of Earth's first foods. I believe this has happened to me; I've gained the ability to think and grow way beyond where I was originally. I also heard that you should never give up once you start a network marketing business, because if you do, you will never know if you could have made a success of it or not. It has taken me 12 years of reaching for my dreams. Now people are calling me daily. I can see my dreams becoming a reality overnight. With my own persistence and nurturing help from my upline, and having the courage to stay with this program, my dreams are becoming a reality. I want to thank Simplexity Health for the company's never-ending support, and all the changes they have gone through to support the field with wonderful marketing tools, the new compensation plan for my future, and the best foods on this planet.

In thinking about adjusting to our new compensation plan, I believe that we have all been in a comfort zone, so to speak, and now I am encouraged to get back on track. I would like to challenge us to move forward once again. I look back at what my checks have done for me, how they have made my car payments and, yes, paid for my products. And I realize that I have always thought primarily about Simplexity Health products, not very often about how many others out there would like to bring in some extra income during these hard times to make their car payment or pay for product or even for their children's school lunches. So now I need to think more about the business of Simplexity Health. While we are thankful we still have our Super Blue Green Algae (have you thought what you would do without it or where your health would be without it?), we can be determined to move forward with the business and the new compensation plan, to find out how it works and pays, to work toward changing lives and bringing our checks to where we want them to be. I am encouraged and motivated to move forward, and eager to see what happens next. I hope you'll join me! Let's all go out and make networking fun, and enjoy what we have been given. I signed up someone new today, so I'll get an Enroller First Order Bonus check in the mail soon. This is a new opportunity...let's play! Cheryl Bogener
We can have complete confidence in the company and their support, so we are in the greatest position to share Simplexity Health products with the growing number of people who know they need something healthy in their lives. We can also share the opportunity to be part of making the world a better place, one person at a time, starting with ourselves. I have been studying the new Independent Business Associate kit, which I think represents us very well. It is tasteful, compact, reflects a simple approach, and is environmentally sensitive, since it's made mostly of paper with no unnecessary packaging. I am very excited to take it to a large Eco Fair that we will have here in Rhode Island. I am looking for new people whose minds and hearts are open and who want to be part of our community of very dedicated people! Linda Dewing
I have been thinking about how many people have called me saying something like "I just don't know where to start. I really like what I'm seeing--the new website, the IBA kit, the payout in the new plan--but I don't know where to start." We have heard that the switch from one plan to another is like "comparing apples to oranges." For some of us it was like "apples to elephants"! What does that mean? Well, it's really different! But there's an old saying, "How do you eat an elephant?" The answer: "One bite at a time." You get the picture. Speaking of pictures, I am surprised by how many people haven't yet looked at the videos on the first page of our new site. For example, check out the lake cam. The picture changes on a regular basis, and allows you to feel connected to what the Home Team sees every day--the magical biosphere that produces the most amazing food on the planet! Have you taken the time to explore the rest of our new website? There you can enjoy many corporate videos that are excellent tools to share with your prospects. You can pull a link off almost any page and share it with anyone you are in communication with. These are tools we can share for free! If you are familiar with the new site, you can sit down with anyone and answer questions about the products and the science behind them, and share testimonies from algae eaters, as well as the health and financial opportunity Simplexity Health offers. We are in the best place we have ever been, with premium products, a stable company, innovative tools, and an exceptional compensation plan. If you aren't sure how all this affects you, call your upline or the Customer Service line so you can find out what, if anything, you need to do. People are showing up who haven't known what to do for 10 years! That is pretty cool; and this is just the beginning. We have well-trained, passionate people in our community, distributors who share from their heart and are looking for new ways to get Super Blue Green Algae to people who need it now more than ever. The world has changed a lot in the last 25 years, and we have the Simple Solutions to give people the strength, the joy, and the community that many are craving. Bob Underwood and Zubair Kazi have the vision and the ability to make available the things we need that will enable us to have a stable business that is worth putting energy into for another 25 years! Transition is like moving your home. Moving is a bit of a challenge, but when we like where we are moving to and have plenty of support from our friends, strangers, and the universe, it can be pretty fun and exciting!
Thanks to all.
The new IBA kit is "professional...amazing..phenomenal!" From the comments we received after just one week, the new Independent Business Associate kit is an absolute hit! So we're sure that all business builders will consider this a must-have item. Why should IBAs who have been with the company for years want one? Well, what better way to mentor your network members than to have full knowledge of the tools they are using from the beginning? After all, new IBAs are required to purchase a kit, and you'll want to be totally familiar with what they're receiving. It'll pay in the long run for you to have a good working knowledge of the contents and what the overall kit looks like. And remember, if you are running a business, a purchase like this may be considered tax deductible as a business expense. But if you need more incentive to purchase this amazing tool, we couldn't put it any better than some of our successful long-time Independent Business Associates have. Consider their comments to the Home Team:

Not long ago, I was hit with a realization about my own lack of momentum with my Simplexity Health business that I thought I'd share with you. What kicked this off for me was when my friend Deborah, who is also my massage therapist, told me that one of her clients was going to an informational meeting for another product line. Deborah had told the client that she loved the algae and Simplexity Health supplements, but that she would ask me if I had any input on this other company and their products. My mind was obviously working, because later as I sat in a grocery store parking lot, I realized that somewhere, a group of people who are looking for an opportunity were gathering for a meeting, and I wasn't the one conducting the meeting!! Yikes. I realized then that I was like a sailboat caught in the doldrums, going nowhere! I started to think about the 1995-1996 'wave' that had happened when I signed up with the company, and I wished I had been one of those distributors who had ridden the crest of that big wave by generating all those thousands of new people...and then I realized that all I have to do is step on the treadmill that has been set in motion by the company. It's up to me whether I want to stroll on it, speed-walk, or run!! At this time, I'm dealing with some pretty overwhelming physical 'stuff' and thinking that my spirit is willing but my body is weak, and that certainly makes it challenging to do the business. But as I was talking to my husband about that other meeting and also about the fact that my Simplexity check still keeps coming for work that I did ten years ago, sometimes saving the day, I realized that I felt about a million times better. It was that feeling of hope that overrides the worst fatigue and depression. Running was beginning to sound possible, after all! Along with this, I began to think about how I could look for people to do the business. This has always been a bit of a stumbling block for me, because up until now I've had the attitude of 'how am I going to find somebody as crazy as me?' (or variations on that theme). And here is where I reached the bottom line…a revelation, at least to me. There are two basic kinds of people that we find in doing this business:
I think I've always stumbled on that second point, that some people start out really looking only at the business side of this opportunity. Because I was not interested at all in the business at first, but was desperate to improve my health, I didn't really relate to them. But what I want right now, what I think we all want, is to reach those folks who are in need of that extra $300, $500, or more each month, those who know how to sell and are not uncomfortable with sales. These folks will come onboard, but along the way they will also experience huge benefits for their well-being. This perspective has invigorated me to get moving. I'm ready to get out of the doldrums and start sailing!! Mary Lou Smith
Things are happening! For the past several months, I have been working on achieving feng shui by getting rid of the old to make room for the new, de-cluttering my home of things I will never use. By putting my wishes and wants out to the universe, I have allowed feng shui to direct me toward my goal of health, success, relationships, and growth. Ladies from my church come to quilt once a week and we donate the finished quilt to the church for a raffle at our yearly festival. They cannot figure out how I find time to do all that I do, especially since I have a business too. I recently did a supper for 250 people at church, and I have organized the large festival for two years. This year it rained heavily for both days of the festival, and I had to make changes and move things inside. Everyone was amazed that I stayed so calm and never got upset or stressed. One friend called me Wonder Woman; she was going to nominate me for Woman of the Year! So I find myself marketing without realizing it. For example, I started one of the ladies I quilt with on the products, and know that I will have more customers. They are seeing what it does for me. If you really care, it shows in how you present yourself. In my wishes and wants for feng shui, I stated that I wanted IBAs, and to help someone in my downline find people who want to help her. It came true this past month. I now have four people building businesses. Several people in my downline are signing up others now and are working to build businesses. WOW!! This is fantastic. I am getting excited. I was explaining the compensation plan to one of my IBAs, and was amazed to realize that I was getting it myself and able to explain it to others. The DVD and calls have been great. All that the Home Team and upline members are doing to help us grow our businesses is extremely motivating. Thanks to you all! Pat Shoup
After 20 years of 'dancing' with this company and their outstanding nutritionals, I find that it's not totally about the human connection, but almost...it is certainly a major part of the puzzle. Getting connected is the first step to initial success. It is the groundwork and foundation. Staying connected, on the other hand, is the path to consumer loyalty and lasting success. In the beginning, people buy us. It doesn't matter how good a product is; if your prospect doesn't like you, there is a good chance he or she will not accept what you have. Many of us are timid about calling people to reinstate them or even to see how they are doing…making that courtesy call. But if we plug back into the passion that motivated us in the first place, we will find that for the most part people are not only okay with hearing from us again, but they're often surprisingly happy and thankful...even motivated to "come back home to us." Being pushy is not acceptable, but being excited and enthusiastic is. Before you call someone, get centered and in a cheerful state, and have a few key notes in front of you (but use the notes only to stay on track and focused on the essence of why you are calling). You do not have to beat around the bush, but you do have to be yourself..."real," as they say. Let your conscience and your consciousness be your guide. Musicians call it being "in the groove" or "in flow," where we trust ourselves to say the right things that will hit the nail on the head for that particular person, with the right amount of the right information. It needs to be all about them. Do not underestimate the power of your enthusiasm and your knowledge of the products' abilities. And do not overestimate the importance of knowing all the facts and figures. I've been told that people want to hear more about what a product can do for their health than they do about facts and figures. A few scientifically minded people may put the latter before the former, but most people's internal question is, "What can this do for me?" Lead enthusiastically with the benefits and then follow up with the facts and figures, for the most part. When you do call someone, whether the person is glad you called or not, celebrate the fact that you did call. When you hear what you were hoping to hear from your prospect, celebrate that, as well, but in a bigger way. I do this between calls. I don't dance around, but I do have a fridge magnet that plays a cool rock riff. I really try to feel the "win." I remember a mentor of mine saying, "Celebrate every precious moment." All moments are precious, because even the defeats contain gems for growth. We can often learn the deepest and most significant lessons from our most demanding challenges. That's what I think...

A consumer who had stopped taking the algae called to say that I was the best sponsor he ever had and that he was the worst consumer ever. Our product gave him the most help of anything he ever took, he said, and he did not know why he had stopped. He also said that he had read everything I ever sent him. For over eight years I had been sending a monthly newsletter. I now do regular e-mail newsletters, which are so great because they save time and the cost of mailings. I also sent out the brochures Stem Cell Nutrition, Products at a Glance, and Super Foods, Simple Solutions to everyone who has been in my downline in the past 13 years. So we do touch people more than we know…you just never really know how you affect people until someone calls. I love our products, have been taking them for 13 years and consider myself a product of the products. I have a great respect for our company and what it stands for. I have met some wonderful people at our Celebrations and, although I have always gone by myself, I was never alone. In the past two years I have had more confidence that I will be able to be the best I can be. Thanks to Mr. Kazi, Bob Underwood, and the Home Team, we are finally getting things in place to go forward. The people in charge are working hard to get us what we need to be successful, and I feel that all of us can be top earners in the company very soon. In hearing people talk at our meetings, I've learned that those who had support from their upline succeeded at a better rate than those who tried to do it on their own without support from the person who signed them up. I want to be that supportive person to my group. With the new vision and full company support and connections with other members, I can see my group succeeding in a big way. Pat Shoup
Hi all, I'm wondering how many of you have actually tried StemPlex. I know I had resistance myself, as it seemed pretty expensive. But what is expense when things are changed in your body? Some of the stories we have heard in the last 6-9 months are really very, very significant, and I bet there are other tales out there too. After reading some of the comments, my reaction is "My gosh, this stuff is gold!" I challenge everyone who has any issue at all to commit to three bottles for three or more months, and notice what happens. As we all know, it is easier to recommend something to others when we have our own story to tell. Let's get this product out there! I have a customer who took her time to respond to the letter and flyer I sent her about StemPlex, and now she is ordering it. It is always worth it to share what we know!! Linda Dewing
At age 75 I have perfect health and unlimited energy. I started with Super Blue Green Algae in 1995 and reached the Executive title in a very short time. These magical products are my mainstay. I love sharing them with anyone who will listen. I greet each day with joy, gratitude, and eager excitement for what lies ahead in my day. I work full-time as a florist in my shop and am the Executive Director of the Orange County Symphony. Thank you, Simplexity Health for your longevity, which has certainly, in turn, helped mine! Dorothy Rose
Last year I responded to someone on the topic of "what's right with our company." I recently ran across that exchange, and thought it was worth sharing with others. As I see it, we should all remember the positive attributes of our company, including the following:
I like to occasionally remind myself of the many reasons I have stayed with this company and with these products…and it's nice to consider what's right with our company! Barbara Swanson Note from Simplexity Health: You may enjoy reading a helpful answer posted on our website for those who need an answer to Why Buy Super Blue Green Algae from Simplexity Health?
We wish to again thank Bob Underwood, Mr. Kazi, and the entire Simplexity Health Home Team for the many hours of planning that are going into preparing the new compensation plan and the Chairman's Team* program to grow our company to the top of the network marketing industry. We have been with the company for 12 years now, and still can't believe how good we continue to feel now that we are 62 and 74. Once we experienced the benefits for ourselves, we decided to share the products with enough people to reach the Executive level and beyond. For over 11 years we have had more than enough money to have whatever products we wanted or needed for FREE. The commissions from the continual sales of products have been "life-saving" at times when we really needed the income. Even more importantly, we have made hundreds of new friends who have thanked us many times for sharing these products with them. Life-changing things have happened to these people. Now we want to take our business to the level of lifetime financial freedom. We still know that we are doing a favor for everyone we tell about Simplexity Health. Whether they say 'yes' or 'no' doesn't matter, because this is a sorting game to find the ones who want what we offer. There are so many thousands of people we have never mentioned this opportunity to because of past ideas of possible rejection. Not any more. This is the most solid we have seen this company, and the commitment of everyone at the Home Team is very impressive. We have always felt we needed to have a compensation plan that will reward us for helping others more. When the new plan launches, we will have it. Change can be tricky, but we do not feel we have to memorize the steps of the new plan to be effective Business Associates. We just need to know where to find the information. And we have that too! The website is more user-friendly than ever, with even more helpful information than we would have thought possible, considering all the recent changes including the new compensation plan and the streamlining of the product line. We are very, very excited about what Simplexity Health has done to get the company to the top of the network marketing field. While we loved some of the discontinued products, we can certainly understand how simplifying makes it easier for Associates to share the products in a simple manner, rather than having so many products that nobody knows what to buy. The core products haven't changed, and we still have happy consumers of ten years in our network. So let's all get behind the company, and share this offering with 400,000 people…or more. (We talked to two just last night!) We are going for this full-out, and look forward to seeing everyone on stage at the next Celebration. Thanks again, Home Team, for the enormous support!!
Doral and Barbara Clark
It really hit me very clearly the other day that understanding the ins and outs of the new compensation plan is a nice goal, and as my mind wrestled with that process, my heart spoke up that whether it's the new or the old compensation plan, sharing our products is the right thing to do. I do it because it's the right thing to do. One day, I will understand the new compensation plan better; but, I'm not to worried about that as long as I keep sharing our products. Stuart Martin
May the New Year bring joy and...
warmth to those who are cold, and cool to the hot; May we be brave and strong, happy and devoted, affirming and clear. May we bring our favorite company to new heights of success. And all the other things that we each wish in our own lives! With appreciation and thanks for what you all do…at the Home Team and in the field. Linda Dewing
We've heard that "The greatest of all human needs is the need to feel connected." I believe that there is a lot of truth in this statement. In Simplexity Health, we can all feel confident all the time that we are truly connected to the products, to the people, to the company, and to the plan of action that provides the greatest opportunity for increased health, increased wealth, and increased time freedom--as long as we participate and reach out to others, and share our knowledge and experiences about so many things, including the need for human beings to feel connected to something of vital importance! Russell Mariani
Someone I know wrote this recently: "The first fifteen years of my career were spent in the for-profit world where the bottom line is about making money. The past ten years have been devoted to the non-profit world where the bottom line is about helping others." That got me thinking. Dividing work between making money and helping others is a common way of differentiating kinds of work. The amazing thing about being in network marketing is that we don't have to make that division. We are making money AND helping people, and we're helping others to make money and to help people too. What a gift! I can't imagine a more satisfying way to work, with bottom-line values that benefit everyone, including myself! We can help others to see how much good they can do by making money and helping others to do the same; and with our outstanding products, it is a "no-brainer," as the saying goes.
Best,
I am ecstatic about the new business materials! They are beautiful and highly informative, outstanding in every way. Excellent work in providing what I know I have needed for my business. I am sure that many Business Associates are as appreciative as I am for their availability. Jane Forth An important part of any venture--for me, at least--is to set my intention. This is kind of like goal setting, but in the emotional and spiritual realm. I decided at the event in Dallas that my goal was to have at least one sign-up a week; my INTENTION is to have this be as it was when I first started to work my network marketing business, and that means joyous, easy, and FUN.
Well...
Hmmm... Well, folks, SET INTENTION. It really does work. Barbara
Hi, Everyone, We have gone to a couple of RV rallies to have a booth devoted to healthy nutrition. We hadn't done a booth for a very long time, so I was less than organized when we got there. I had asked to do a 45-minute presentation on how our health is affected by our foods, but they omitted it from the program by accident. So I got up on stage anyway and said that everyone was invited, and then I announced the time for my presentation. Although only ten people came, they asked so many questions that time ran out. They then came to our booth to ask more. I had the Inside Out video playing at the booth and had lots of brochures available. Many people got excited about what was said about enzymes. We got four sign-ups, and one couple is so excited that they want to do the business. We are doing a booth with them in a few months at another rally near them. Not many people would come and talk with us until after the "class." Then they all wanted to talk at once. We had bottles of the products in the basic program there and allowed people to take them home right away. But we opened Preferred Customer accounts for them on the next business day and replaced our products by having the orders sent to us. That way they got the wholesale price. I had people sign a paper indicating what they wanted more information on, and have mailed out helpful articles to several people. (Unfortunately, lots of people did not have an e-mail address or it would have been really easy and cheap.) Six years ago we did a booth that cost over $600 and didn't get much interest. This time we paid $20 plus our camping expenses, and got lots of interest. Yippee for this idea. Another thing we are trying is to have talks at local restaurants and offer free meals to guests who attend. The average meal costs only $6 since we did this at a sandwich- and-soup shop, and the restaurant let us use the room free just for the business. Then we prospected the waitresses, too. Having events to invite people to gives us another reason to talk to people we haven't talked to before, and keeps us actively recruiting. We had the video playing when they walked in. The result was two orders and one promise of an order. I also did a mini skin care demonstration at the rally, and five ladies came. One person who tried the Essential Matrix Professional Formula lotion on her feet kept raving to everyone about how good they felt. Several women asked for more information on the lotions. Anyway, it really was a great time. I did discover that when you sign up for a booth, having extra help is great so that you can take a break when you need it. It's been a great month of excitement!

For the past nine years or so I've been faithfully attending August Celebrations and other Simplexity Health regional events. I appreciate the connections made at these meetings both within my group and across group lines and can point to specific business skills and product knowledge I learned at Simplexity events. Last month I had as many new sign-ups as I've ever had in one month and my goal this month is to break that record again. Why? Because I have chosen to be part of our new team...our brand-new company...and a leader for my organization. In order to accomplish these goals I must set the standard for myself high. Without that commitment, how will those I bring in as partners know how to reach their big goals? If you read any network marketing business training you'll see this repeated over and over…when your company has an event, be there! Do what it takes to get there. Be a part of the energy and set an example for your group. Personally, there are three events that fall on that same upcoming November weekend: the annual Navajo rug show for elders I've met over the past seven years, a trip to Australia with my loving husband, and the Simplexity Health event in Dallas. Since being involved with the Adopt-A-Native-Elder program I haven't missed a rug show, I've dreamt of going to Australia since I was in the fourth grade, and yet I am choosing to go to Dallas for the Simplexity event. Why? Because I've chosen to be part of our new team going forward with our brand-new company, and if I am unable to commit and prioritize, how can I expect others to do the same? Another reason is that I've come to see that Wynn Weeks has what it takes to move us forward…to move me forward in my own business and help me teach others how to reach their goals too. Helping others reach their goals may not have been a life-long dream of mine but the first time I heard that this was possible…that I could help change people's lives for the better…it not only became a dream but also a goal that moved right to the top of my list. I'll be in Dallas and others in my group will be in Dallas. One of my goals is to have people I haven't even met yet join me in Dallas. Have you chosen to invest in the future? Elinda McKenna
We've received several notes of thanks for Leadership Alliance teleconference calls. Below are two such notes. We, too, are grateful for the many talented people who contribute to these excellent calls. To see a list of available recorded calls, visit ctleadershipalliance.org and scroll down the sidebar to the link for "Pre-Recorded Calls." Of course, you can also tune in to the calls as they occur each week, since not every call is recorded and posted. To see the latest call schedule, go to the "Calendar" link on the Leadership Alliance website, or visit the calendar that is posted in the Training tab once you have logged on to My Simplexity Health.
Thanks a million for making it so easy to get to and download these conference calls! I think this is a wonderful resource for us. I have transferred them to an i-pod that I received Christmas of 2004 from my son. Since I don't walk around listening to music, I never knew what to do with it; but now I listen to these calls. Also, I downloaded them all to my computer so that I could burn a CD to hand out to prospects/customers. I cannot get very many people on live calls since they are time specific and involve extra phone charges for most, but they will listen to a CD. I recommend they listen to it in their cars. It beats bad news when you are stuck in traffic.
Have you seen it yet? I'm so excited because I got my package of our new "Simplexity Health Changing Lives" newspaper. It looks fabulous! It's full of articles, testimonials, and facts. I love the way it is laid out. It's got an attractive quality to it that begs the turning of the pages. I'm also tickled "blue green" (it's me on the motorcycle on the front page) to be a part of this new era of Simplexity Health tools for our continuing evolution as a company with history and fresh perspectives. Kudos to all who helped bring this tool to the light of day! How am I going to use it? First off I'll get it into the hands of my Business Associates and AutoShip customers and then gradually to my Preferred Customers. I'm going to locate venues for it, like my chiropractor's office and all the places I do business and ask them to carry the advertisement for my business. Of course I'll have my name and website on the back and then I'll be carrying it around with me all the time. We're all clever and oh so experienced that I'll bet there are a myriad of ideas for how to use this to "create a storm." I realize I need a tool such as this one. Pictures speak and show stories. It has credibility. It can speak for itself and for me, and then I can come in for follow-up -- SWEET! If we all committed to sharing this paper as quickly and widely as possible, I believe that we'd be making a significant impact on the population that is looking for us (even though they might not know it yet).

Here are two examples of how to give helpful suggestions to new Simplexity Health consumers to "keep going" when they say they just can't remember to use the products each day. This is also a reminder to call your people, even if you have not heard from them. They often will clue you in to why they haven't ordered...they haven't used up what they already bought because they "just can't" get into the habit of daily use. One: My friend from high school that I contacted, and who was interested in "the best way to get minerals," ordered Alpha Sun, Omega Sun, and Enzymes. She had immediate good results with the algae, but didn't start using the Enzymes. I told her that I have mine in a pretty bowl (with lid) on the dining table. That idea clicked with her, and she put hers on the dining table. Now, she remembers them. AND, from the FIRST day of using enzymes, she e-mailed me that she could FEEL how wonderful they are. Two: Awhile back, a friend of my parents bought a two-pack of Essentials. He has not reordered. I called him last night and talked. He said he is doing a nine-year prostate study with a local hospital, and for that he takes vitamin E and selenium every day. He also takes flaxseed oil and fish oil. He asked if it was okay to take the packets in the afternoon because he "just can't" face taking any more things in the morning. I suggested that he put some packets in his pockets so he has them with him all day, and that he feel free to play with the time of day he uses them. That idea seemed to be something he will do.

Thank you for your warm reception of the House of Health DVD. We appreciate the opportunity to share with you some of the "voices" who have expressed positive feedback about this new support material.*
One of the joys of network marketing is that--in the best of ways--we are freed to work as we are, for whom we are, and to meet, in the ways we most enjoy, the new people with whom we want to have a business--and lifetime--relationship. For some, it will be a very business-focused presentation--as, for them, it ought to be! If that is your passion, and you like the business world, it is where you OUGHT to play! For others, it may be alternative health venues, where they can talk with people who share a vision of natural health. For still others, it may be an ad that they have people respond to. The important thing is for us to be able to know HOW to share the products/opportunities in a manner which we can then teach to someone else. For some, that may mean a CD; for others, a flip chart; and for still others, a simple five-minute conversation followed by, "If I could show you a way..." And of course, most importantly of all is that we do IT--whatever IT is--to share!

We got back from August Celebration on cloud nine again this year. The word celebration is great, but it can't possibly sum up what happens to us when we attend. Connection to the company, Home Team, fellow distributors, warmth, peace, love, sharing, learning, hoping, and dreaming, and on and on. We are at a loss to explain totally what will happen to you when you attend. This is one of those times when we can truly say, "You just had to be there." We came home with more gifts than 10 years of birthdays. THANK YOU, CELL TECH! We drove out from Wisconsin. Each mile going out was impending excitement over seeing our friends, wondering what great things Simplexity Health had in store to make us again feel so very special. Wondering, too, how all of it will impact and change the course of our next year and even our whole lives. From the first August Celebration we attended in 1996, we knew that we would never again be the same. Never in all our years had we met so many people in one place with hearts that big for love, hope, and sharing. We felt then that we had to be a part of it and start giving something back. Seeing people who were very successful at Simplexity cemented our belief in the power of network marketing with this awesome company. We have let our other rat-race life get in the way many times since then. We continued to be just too busy...being broke. Whenever we have gotten out of our rut, we have felt fulfilled and very rewarded by the difference we can make in people's lives. And our income has continued monthly since Sept '96 when we decided to go for it. Coming to August Celebration is a requirement for us. Leaders attend the meetings, period. Hearing what new things the company is doing gets us fired up and ready to jumpstart again. Sandra Burgess and her husband Thomas gave such a professional and passionate business presentation that we wanted to join up. Their level of expertise and professionalism gave us a model to emulate in our business. We were so moved by all the presenters that it was easy to jump up and applaud wildly as thanks for the information. THANKS TO ALL SPEAKERS! The costume nights made us feel light and young again, and gave us just one more reason to look forward to our time together. The lighting ceremony and video warmed our hearts with increased love and connection to Simplexity Health and each other. We cry from sadness that it is over but gratefulness to be a part of it. We know we didn't express enough what was in our hearts. So those of you who haven't come will just have to come next year in order to know what we are talking about. See all of you in August '06! Hope, health, freedom, Barb and Doral
I was at the August Celebration this year--my 11th year there (wow, that seems amazing to me!). As always, I connected with new and old friends and associates, and had a chance to see again what an amazing and wonderful group of people we are when we all gather in one place. I love the heart I feel, from us all, and the love we have and share for our health and for the health of others and the world. I love the sense of support, from one to each other and to all, which in many business environments is NOT necessarily the case...truly, we build one another's hopes and dreams each time any of us succeeds in this business or experiences a health change. I love the HOME team and all their support and patience, and the fun we have getting to meet, even if only once a year. I love the lake and our algae. It has changed my life forever and for the better, and every single morning I waken and feel blessed to have such a quality of life and livelihood in my life. I hope ALL who could not make it this year, for whatever reasons, remember the joy and sustenance you get at our annual 'convention'...our Celebration. Barbara
I almost didn't go to the August Celebration this year, after attending for nine years. I'm so glad I went. I want to tell you what recently happened for me since coming home...but first a little history. I have not been prospecting for many months. It's been a hard year, and I needed some time off. Since returning from the August Celebration I've noticed a shift in my willingness to put myself out there again, which is a big reason why I made the cross-country trek yet again. I went into a photo store to get a passport photo taken. The woman behind the counter asked me what I do, and I explained that I have a business helping people get more energy and mental clarity. "I could use some of that. What do you charge?" she asked. I told her I don't charge for the consult because I have a line of products I recommend. She asked me to explain the line. I took her card to call another time, but she was so interested I decided to give her a short lesson on the spot using permission marketing. "How about I give you a short lesson right now?" Just as I finished, her partner came into the room and started singing the praises of Super Blue Green Algae that she stopped taking 1 1/2 years ago and now wants to take again. So I signed them both with the Essential Digestion product combination and an extra bottle of enzymes each, one bag of BG Bars, and one AutoShip now and another soon to follow. It was that easy. I probably spent 30 minutes with them (okay, maybe 45), which included getting my picture taken. Now that I know something about them, I will contact them again about the business, using what I learned from Sandra Burgess. After all, the big money is in duplication, not product sales, right? Though I always enjoy turning people on to Simplexity Health products, why not go for duplication? It's actually how I built my business when I first started, and so I know its financial rewards. I'm sure opportunities like the one I described exist all the time. I'm not sure I would have taken advantage of this one had I not gotten re-charged by going to the Celebration and then used some of what I learned. And the monthly commissions from these orders will go a long way to help pay for the trip! I hope to see you at the August Celebration next year. Start planning! Beth
I attended the August Celebration and what a great experience! This was my first year, and I found that everyone was open in sharing about anything I asked. I'm proud to be part of the Simplexity Health community! Karen
I loved being with everyone at August Celebration and am so inspired and empowered. I'm finding it so much easier to share about Simplexity Health and about the business opportunity since being there. One of the ways I've incorporated what I learned is in how I manage my day. For example, today I'm working at home. I've been fielding and scheduling phone calls ("appointments" in Sandra Burgess's* vernacular). A friend called me, and I said I couldn't talk then but could talk with him at a certain time later. When he called me 15 minutes late and I was on to the next thing, I apologized and said I had another appointment and would need to reschedule. At first I felt a little guilty, but then I realized, hey, I do make time for friends-and I take care of my business too! Susan *Note from Simplexity Health: Sandra Burgess, our Business Associate of the Year for 2005, spoke at August Celebration.

Once you've been introduced to a concept or group of concepts, it is amazing how you see them showing up everywhere. This morning I heard about a group of women who have a time-share diamond necklace. Now, the idea of having a diamond necklace doesn't appeal to me, BUT how they got together and the connections made on behalf of the necklace DID appeal to me. The originator of the idea indicated that for her budget and belief system, $37,000 was too much for one person to spend on a luxury like a diamond necklace, especially in a world where people go hungry. But a necklace like this shared among 12 others became affordable and within the means of many. When she approached a few of her friends, she said, "What if I could show you a way to have and wear a $37,000 diamond necklace?" Sound familiar? During the interview they each had a story regarding how that necklace, which they called "Judy," allowed them to enjoy everyday life as well as special events like wedding vows. I could see the parallels between the way that necklace boosted their quality of life and how our business and products can. What if we considered our business a luxury? If showing people "a way" became a gift we offer instead of a burden ("Oh no, I have to call someone and see if I can convince them to 'do' our business"), do you think they'd be interested in luxury? The gift is financial security and a road map that offers them options. Feeling better is a wonderful and powerful complementary benefit. Since leaving Klamath Falls I have been inundated with ideas and new thought patterns. I'm taking Sandra's advice and writing them down; that seems to germinate new thoughts and ideas since I don't have to catalog and remember the ones I already wrote down. Maybe this is the power of keeping a journal (which I have done on and off for years regarding seminars and education). Once I write down an idea, my brain now has space to conjure up more ideas...why stop at just one? As I look around at my world, I am astounded by the number of resources I now see (thank you, Ray and Stephanie Yeh) and I'm formulating ways to leverage these resources. I've printed out some of Ray Yeh's wisdom and have it on my office wall: To do things right a business must:
If you attended August Celebration, why not share some of the shifts you feel are taking hold with your business? If you didn't attend AC, get to the Simplexity Health website and read the overviews, and then call your upline until you find someone who was there. Connect to the energy of their vision while you are designing your own. Take action! Elinda
I planted my iris three summers ago. They were from a single rhine. I have used PLANeT Food on them each year. I do not have time to feed them the water mix so I sprinkle the food and let the rain soak it in. These plants are so huge now; I took pictures that will be displayed on my AOL Homestead site showing what they have done this summer. Each single rhine has grown into large plants with 10 to 20 flower heads from each plant area. It looks so beautiful. I've sold PLANeT Food to four people who have seen my flowers. I am working on something in front of my home so that people will stop and ask me what I use. Pat
I have gotten several orders lately by forwarding certain "Voices From the Field" messages to people on my lists who either already buy Simplexity Health products or are prospects. A friend's chiropractor told her she needed more antioxidants. (I didn't know this.) When she received Willow's report that her antioxidant test results were "off the chart," this friend called and ordered Original Essentials. This was her first order, and she had told me that she really didn't have much interest in "supplements." So, it looks to me like the antioxidant "Voices" was her "hot button," and overrode her previous lack of interest. I think that's powerful. Allyson
I've never had so much fun at my "job." This is just one of the benefits of right-livelihood in a business that helps people get the foods and information they need on a rapidly changing planet. The advantage of leveraging your time to produce residual income in our Simplexity Health business is a remarkable business opportunity! While you are working in an environment that rewards win-win, community-minded, sustainable health model mindedness, you get paid to help others meet their financial and health goals at the same time. Katharine Well said, Katharine! Like you, I love my job with Simplexity Health. No, I should clarify and say that I'm in love with my job in Simplexity. Every day I get thank-you e-mails or cards from consumers whose lives and health have been enhanced as a result of using Simplexity products. Every day of doing business with the Simplexity products, I'm making a difference in people's health and wealth. What a wonderful way to do business... My husband Bill and I attended Barbara Swanson's recent training in Seattle. We also brought a friend. I am so impressed by Barbara's knowledge of our products and skin care in general. Bill and I use the skin care products, but after listening to Barbara's presentation we understand so much more. We highly recommend attending Barbara's presentations if you can. Becky
The Voices from the Field messages are just right, and I appreciate the fact that in the recent past they have been sent only to those titled at Representative and higher. I've saved quite a few of the stories and send them out, one a week, to my large e-mail group of customers. It is an easy way for me to be in touch and continually send brief, good news. When I send these short, positive product stories to my group, I often receive a reply from someone who hasn't ordered in a while and wants more information or places an order. I know Simplexity Health occasionally sends product-related messages out to everyone, and that is great, too. Since they're clearly marked, I won't have a problem with mistakenly duplicating messages. Linda
I thought I would share with you my experience with my first HOMEscape party. I didn't expect very many to say yes, so I invited 13; nine adults and two children showed up. It was held in a third-floor apartment, which means lots of steps. Everyone was very curious about my new venture. One woman was a vegetarian who had never heard of the blue-green algae. Because of the number of people, two women volunteered to demonstrate the skin care products. They loved them, and their enthusiasm showed to the rest of the group. There was a door prize, and a short game on their "green food knowledge." In the end, there was over $500 in sales with seven sign-ups. I have two more parties booked in the next few months. I hope to keep the momentum going! Patricia
I am so excited that I was able to reach the goal of becoming a member of the 3K Club for March. [Each month Simplexity Health posts the names of those whose Group Volume is at least $3,000.] I am aiming to reach this goal again for April. Blessings, Debra I have been prompted by another Simplexity Health Business Associate to pass along my story. Last year at August Celebration I was so moved by all of the top Associates on stage that I decided I would quit my full-time job of 23 years on my birthday. I say this every year after August Celebration, but this year it was different. Happy Birthday to me! Yippee! I have succeeded in following my dream. I quit! I feel this is the best present I could ever receive. I'm now entering the Simplexity Health World full-time! I'm so excited; I can't sleep thinking about what I'm going to do first. I have been planning several HOMEscape parties. The wonderful Golden Lily products have truly opened the door for my Simplexity business. My first party was so much fun and so rewarding that I'm wanting to do two a week. With the FastTrack Bonus and product dollars, I know I will get my first Executive soon. Thank you, Simplexity Health, for the opportunity to make big money or little money and to spend my time the way I want to--with my family and friends. I truly feel blessed. Cheryl Hi, everyone: We just finished the Vegetarians of Washington Expo, where we spent two days giving samples of the BG Bar to thousands of people. Out of this expo we have three new retail accounts for the BG Bar. One of these retail accounts is a major local natural foods grocery that we approached a couple of years ago to carry and sell the BG Bar. At the time, they declined the offer. At the show it was so rewarding for us to see one of their employees approach us to talk about the BG Bar and how they would love to carry it in their store. They encouraged us to come and talk to their buyer, and took samples to share with him. The other two new retail locations are a holistic center for yoga and a small supplement store whose manager complemented our BG Bar as the best tasting bar they have ever tried, bar none! We also had many new Preferred Customers sign up. Rich and I have been involved in "Veggie Fest" shows for many years and have experienced good success because the vegetarian population is one of the most "open" consumer groups that are naturally attracted to our green products. Selling our products to this population is always easy and fun. We recommend that you check in your community for what vegetarian organizations exist, and connect with them in their ongoing activities such as potlucks, farmers markets, and expos. We are sure that you will have similar successful results. Donia & Rich Letter to the Simplexity Health Home Team from Blue Green Diamonds Gary and Janna Schlagenhauf: I know you have seen and heard Janna's enthusiasm at recent presentations, but I want to share with you exactly what we perceive for the near future. First let me review some personal history with you. In 1989 I was first introduced to Simplexity Health. Within months I knew that I wanted to pursue Simplexity for personal financial gain, because of its exceptional products and its commitment to empowering individuals through network marketing. As my personal experience of Simplexity products grew, my desire to have a Simplexity business grew. I had a successful background in financial business; real estate investments alone had provided me with a few years of freedom from having to work at all. For over four years; I longed to build a business in Simplexity, but I was unable to design a business plan that I could believe in, then execute, and promote to others. So I consumed Simplexity products, and shared them with friends and family, but certainly that did not represent a business. Then, in 1994 the potential for growth opened as I helped arrange for a test of mailing promotions, well known shortly thereafter as the Cassano Tape Mailings. Within 6 months we had over 8,000 new consumers and dozens of news business builders duplicating our marketing. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent by our new business teams to grow our businesses. I will not even begin to summarize all that followed that success, we each could write books about those experiences. The reason I am writing today, is to report to you that after 8 long years of watching and waiting for the next opportunity to arrive to again enjoy growing our Simplexity Health Business; our waiting has ended. I waited over four years the first time and twice that this time. I believe the outcome can be twice as good this time as it was in 1994, and long lasting! I told my upline on the day, in 1994, that I finalized my marketing deal, and well before any results were visible, that I was confident Simplexity Health would never be the same. That day I stopped everything else, and for the next 18 months Simplexity was my entire focus, and it has continued to bless me ever since. The changes have been continuous since then, however, while loving Simplexity Health's continued product quality, and being very grateful to the hundreds of thousands of dollars Simplexity brings to us, we have been in the mode that preceded 1994, waiting to see what was a viable business model that we could execute and promote to and with others. Now, once again I am feeling that Simplexity Health will never be the same. Janna and I are convinced that the time has come again for fantastic growth. As you know, in the last month Janna has flown to several cities to work with Barbara to gather enough information for us to formulate a business plan that we can begin to execute and promote to others. We are delighted to inform you that we are pursuing our Simplexity business AGAIN, with capital and personal focus, expecting to facilitate the creation of dozens of new full time incomes for new and old Simplexity distributors. Get ready to hire new employees. We certainly thank you for holding Simplexity Health together through all the challenges, and for working hard to provide the many changes that have been critical to make this new opportunity a reality. There will be no secrets regarding the success we are about to demonstrate. It is an effective invitation to experience products that deliver impressive results, with a follow up to insure new consumers are satisfied with their product trials. Here is a copy of an email from one of the HomEscape attendees that Janna arranged this month. "Thanks for all the info.!!! Show is over...ready to rock with "Lily". I am so excited I'll not be only saving at least $2,500 a year on facials and products; I'll be sharing with others our great find of "Lily". Pure products like no other!! Let's go!! Judy We have determined that the HomEscape experience is far more effective than our best tape mailing statistics back in "94 & '95. Participants commonly ask when they could have another HomEscape for some of their family and friends. That IS duplication and geometric-growth-networking at its best. The information shared in these demonstrations is also stimulating new and old consumers to use Nutritional Simplexity Health Nutritional products. Thank You for your patience. Gary & Janna Schlagenhauf
Hi, all: We started an experiment on February 28 to see if giving a sample of the BG Bar to all brand-new consumers would increase sales. We are blown away by the results. We started five new people (locally) since February 28, and as they walked out of our office we gave them a BG Bar sample as a gift and a way to say thank you. All five people placed orders for BG Bars within a day or two. One woman told us that she placed her bar on the kitchen table and when she came back later to eat it, it was gone. She asked her 15-year-old son if he'd seen the bar; he said that he thought it was candy and he ate the whole thing and loved the taste. She was so happy that her son was actually interested in something green (he doesn't like vegetables), that she immediately called me to place another order for six bags of the BG Bars. We sold 18 bags of BG Bar bags to these five new consumers. That's an increase of $432 in sales that would not have happened if we hadn't given out the BG Bar samples. We are planning to continue to give a BG Bar sample to every new consumer, and we'll be sharing the results on the Leadership Alliance chat list to encourage everyone to do the same. Donia
Aloha In mid-January I met a lady here in Hawaii. We recognized each other from when I used to live in Atlanta. When she saw me, she remembered eating our products and how good she felt all the time. She then added that since she ran a large health clinic with other practitioners in Atlanta, she was able to enroll almost 30 new customers her first month (back when she first started doing our products and business), and quickly became Executive. Of all the various MLMs Cathy's worked with, she says Simplexity Health paid the most for the longest amount of time. She is not sure why it got away from her. So, of course, Cathy reinstated with Simplexity Health on February 1. We had a goal for her to receive the Executive FastTrack Bonus of $500. So every day Cathy called me with one or more new consumers; by Valentine's Day she had achieved her goal of over 10 new consumers and more than $1500 in volume! Yes--that's going Executive in 14 days! I'm so excited and happy to be working with Cathy. Together we've learned and applied all the new incentives and rewards, and we're working with some wonderful people, all of whom are now benefiting from our products. Hopefully, Cathy will join one of our teleconferences with her story sometime soon. If you'd like to see our teleconference schedule for currently scheduled calls go to either: http://ctleadershipalliance.org or /resources/events/calls.html Katharine
Hi, Everyone: I'd like to share with you a message I got from a member of our network who is living his dreams because of his Simplexity Health check. Many of you may have met Paul Crandall at some of the past August Celebrations. Paul is getting a good residual income from the Simplexity business he built, and a few years ago he decided to pursue his dreams. One of his dreams is treasure hunting. He's now living in the Solomon Islands, looking for old treasures. He's able to fulfill his dreams because of his Simplexity income. He may be back to the U.S. this summer, and he'll be coming to the August Celebration to share his adventures with us. Donia
Dear Donia,
This is a business of connection, the greatest of human needs. At one of my parties, I gave the hostess a bell that my Mom had by her bedside for years (she passed away in 2002). I knew my hostess (my biggest and most wonderful business builder) collects bells and this one had a specially sweet tone. Mom had many bells, but it meant a lot to me to give this one to my friend. She was so moved by the gift! Passing on the good stuff... Love, Willow
I've never been very good at asking for help. I think it means I'm weak or there's something wrong with me. Consequently, I work hard all the time, get overwhelmed, burn out, and get resentful of others who aren't working as hard. Although I love being with people, I never have much time for them, because I'm so busy "doing" all the time. Can anyone relate to what I'm saying? I'm starting to see an amazing shift in this as I've been building my Simplexity Health business in the last few months. In the Fast Track Training I took with Simplexity Business Associate Sandra Burgess, I learned how to ask people to help me in my new business by becoming my customer. I asked a lot of people; many said, "Sure," and as a result, I went Executive and made the Top 15 for November. In January I signed up my first Business Associate, Carol. My focus now shifted to helping her be successful and coaching her to ask for help, too. As a result, she made her first two promotions in just two weeks and is now poised to make Executive in February. I was amazed that, just out of being generous with my time and energy (as my sponsor, Wanda, had been with me), Carol was successful, and I was rewarded with a large increase in my group volume. It was actually easier and more fun than doing it all myself! What's even more amazing is that I've started to ask for help in other areas of my life, and people have also been saying "yes" there, too. At work, I'm asking for help and turning jobs over to others, and people are stepping up, excited to be involved. At home, my family is pitching in with chores. In my volunteer activities, people are saying, "Sure, I'll give my time and money." I'm learning that having other people participate with me gives them an opportunity to grow and develop as well. Isn't it amazing that the success I'm having in Simplexity Health is spilling over into the rest of my life? Life suddenly became a lot easier. Thank you, Simplexity. Susan
I remain deeply grateful for the Simplexity Health network marketing opportunity that has given my family a residual income for many years...and I know the best is yet to come!!! Best wishes to you all, Lauren
Hi, and Happy New Year to all, I was introduced to this wonderful natural product right after I got out of the hospital, where I was being treated for a bad case of pulmonary infection. I attended a seminar in December, became a member, and have been offering the Simplexity Health products to all my relatives. I have a lot to learn about all of the Simplexity products and selling techniques, but we have a new year ahead of us and, with help from this beautiful family I'm becoming a part of, I'm sure my sales will pick up. MY HEALTH IS BETTER, MY SPIRITS ARE HIGH, AND MY SALES WILL ROCKET IN 2005! Gustavo
Happy New Year, Team! Yup, that's what I consider you all--part of my team. I learn so much from those who contribute to this list, and I want to thank you all. I also want to welcome my new Executive, Robert Weidemann from Montana. He's an awesome Business Associate and is becoming quite a friend. He's creating accounts for people with the nutritionals because as a chiropractor he's most comfortable with this approach, and he is very willing to learn about the personal care products now that the intense learning curve associated with becoming an Executive has been accomplished. Rob became an Executive in December, the month most people feel is too full with the holidays to attain such a goal. He's almost always a step ahead of me, asking the next most appropriate question and often answering the questions himself. He's a natural. At the same time, he had his doubts about whether he could make his goal in December and almost gave up. With encouragement, training, and the intention from both of us to reach his goals he made it with two days to spare. He even created an account on December 31st when he didn't "need" anyone. He looked for Business Associates right from the starting gate, and has one person ready to take off this month with at least one more who may come on board soon. He's a chiropractor and feels great about approaching his patients with the business opportunity. This process has not always been smooth for him or for me. He's faced some personal and professional stumbling blocks. These were tough moments that we have both had to work through. With the power of intention, commitment, and clear communication, we did. I'm honored to have him on my team. I've been with Simplexity Health for 9 1/2 years. I've been to the top of the mountain and down in the valley. I've made tons of mistakes. Yet these mistakes, or learning from these mistakes, have brought me to a place of abundance. With the help of the Fast Track Training, I have no shortage of prospects and a "system" that works for me. My proof is that my check went up $300 last month. How many people get a $300 raise in one month, with the same expected the next month? Amazing. Have I reached my personal financial goal yet? No, but I'm confident that I will. This past year, personal circumstances have been quite challenging. Through them, I've learned a lot about myself, the business, the power of intention, and the gift of giving. It has been a year of letting go of the past and opening up to the present and the future. Whatever my past has been with Simplexity Health, both the good and the difficult, I've had to let go. I only have the present. In the present I can create the future. That said, my own intention for Simplexity Health and for each of us is that our businesses grow quickly and, if not with ease, then with purpose and meaning. I will continue to get training because I always learn something useful. I will continue to keep the company of others who are committed to my greatness. I will continue to set clear intentions and realistic goals. The timing is right. Thank you all again for your support. Happy New Year. It's bound to be fruitful. Beth
Thank you, Simplexity Health! You keep making my work more delightful! Claire
Looks like I will have new first- and second-level Executives this month and perhaps two new second-level Executives next month. I have not seen this kind of action in years. My new people are very excited about the new incentives. Thank you, Simplexity Health, for starting them. Last year went out with major excitement, and 2005 is looking like a big year. Madalyn
This past week has been extraordinary regarding the posts on the Leadership Alliance* list. I see new and experienced folks posting their experiences and successes, and I can feel the energy of Simplexity Health rising to new heights. I've got a lot of people to contact. My "in" box is full, as Donia would say. I am having to learn how to work smarter; and this, in turn, is making me a better sponsor. Like others have said...I made a lot of mistakes in the past and now I know 10,000 ways not to market and sponsor. Were they failures? Nope, they were valuable experiences. Thanks for so many others stepping up and energizing the list and our company. Together, as a team, we will accomplish great things.

Here's something many of you will be able to duplicate if you are interested in doing so: In Ashland we have a health food co-op, which has a "Community Oven"--a community space for guest speakers. I asked today if they would be interested in having me speak about the role of antioxidants in the process of aging. I said that, although I represent specific products for use internally and externally, this would be only on the science of the role of antioxidants. They jumped at it! They said that most people who speak also promote future events separate from the co-op, and so I can promote Simplexity's one-on-one techniques with no problem. I plan to outline 3-4 different talks: one on antioxidants--both the internal and external role; one on "The Building Blocks of Health," featuring how to build body health with core nutritionals; and one on the basic functions of the immune system and the role of probiotics. These can be pieced together from the already written works on the Simplexity Health site, and with a little personalization I will be in front of a warm audience every other month. For those of us who enjoy public speaking, this is a great way to get ongoing prospects. Health food stores usually advertise to their clientele for you, and MOST decent sized stores have this type of offering. Even larger chains like Whole Foods want and need speakers. I am excited!

I am just finishing up a great network marketing class. One of the things Sandra Burgess has you do in her class is pick a team name. Mine is TEAM TOGETHER. Last night I had the wonderful peak experience of having a Grammy, Emmy, Tony, Oscar, Golden Globe, and Pulitzer Prize winner write a song for my TEAM TOGETHER. He didn't know it, of course, but the famous composer who was performing with the Richmond Symphony asked the audience for a song title. "Better We than Me" was suggested, then rejected, but then he accepted my shouted out, "TEAM TOGETHER," and improvised a lovely song on a mile-long Steinway in front of a full symphony, which ended,
TEAM TOGETHER, The composer? A Chorus Line's Marvin Hamlisch, who sings delightfully off-key. I credit Sandra for my being "out there," and my yoga teacher Nanci for teaching me that "you will always get your song because you sing it." Love, Willow
Willow... What an awesome experience, and story! As I read your words, I felt the power of your intention coming through. What a beautiful example of living your dreams now! So, I'm asking myself-is there anything I want to experience that I am telling myself I can't have until...until I am more experienced, until I get more training, until I am perfect, etc.? The limiting beliefs we have may be very subtle, or they may be very obvious. Either way, they are powerful. AND, there is nothing more powerful than deliberately choosing in a moment to go for it! You have given me, and us, one more image of success! I wish you and your TEAM TOGETHER outrageous success! Claire
I have been thinking about this powerful image, and it just knocks my socks off! We all know how everything is so interrelated, and I just feel this powerful sense of strength in what we offer. From our "Foundational Food" SBGA, to all the antioxidants and other amazing products for our internal health, it's as if when it's all put together it makes a "Whole" inside. But we can go so much further. Simplexity Health offers the opportunity for a "Whole" lot of Monetary Abundance! Now that's what I call Whole Personal Care. This year I plan to really focus on what I want to create with my Simplexity Health Biz. There are lists to be made:
Lists are one of the finer things in life. Sure would love to hear everyone's plans for making this year the absolute best for Simplexity Health, for all of us, and for the many, many, many, many more who will be joining us. This is so much fun. Have the Best New Year, All! Love & hugs, Julie Back to the Voices from the Field main page.
