USANA sponsored boxer

Today, USANA-sponsored boxer Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley battles Kendall Holt, the current WBO champion, in a hotly contested WBC 140-pound fight in Montreal.

Exciting news for USANA-sponsored boxer Timothy “Desert Storm” Bradley! After winning the May 10 WBC Junior Welterweight World Championship against heavily favored competitor Junior Witter, the talented boxer is ready to do it all over again.

In a recent interview with mydesert.com, the talented boxer credits USANA supplements in addition to a vegan diet for his increased energy, three percent body fat, faster metabolism, and overall “cleansed, lighter and healthier” feeling about his body.

We are extremely blessed to have the same opportunity to have these wonderful supplements that have helped many individuals change their lives. You have the same opportunity to enjoy the benefits of USANA products or USANA business.

Why do we read this book?

If you have been with USANA for a while, you would have learned about the 10 steps needed to succeed. We have accomplished all of them, and although we are successful, as Christians, we would have to argue against step number 10, which is read Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Hill's works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success. "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve" is one of Hill's hallmark expressions. Although in the surface, the book and the concepts appear innocent, the underline message and beliefs are far from those principles instilled in us Christians from the Word of God.

I urge USANA leadership to take a closer look at the book, and to perhaps analyze other books that would not encourage so much personal role playing for success, but to give credit were credit is deserved. If anyone ask us, we have read several books that we could recommend to replace this witchcraft book from our reading list.

If you area USANA associate, and think that is time to change the reading of this book, please contact us here.

Less waste with more efficient packaging

This letter from the USANA Headquarters:

Dear Associates and Customers,

We at USANA are committed to reducing our impact on the environment by using recycled materials, reducing and recycling our waste, and promoting energy efficiency in the design and operation of our facilities.

One way in which we can greatly minimize our impact on the environment is by reducing the amount of packaging we use for shipping and switching to recycled materials whenever possible. As a result, in the coming months, you may start to see some changes to the USANA packages shipped to your home.

First, we soon will be switching all of our shipping boxes from the white boxes we currently use to brown boxes made of recycled material. We also will be eliminating unnecessary packaging, such as multiple boxes within a bigger shipper box. And in certain instances with small orders, we may switch to padded envelopes. We may also test different types of filler materials within our packages.

Quality is our top priority, and every change that is made will continue to ensure the integrity of your products. As always, if there are any issues with your order when it arrives, please call Customer Service at 1-888-950-9595. And, if you have any feedback about the new shipping materials, please e-mail us at feedback.shipping@us.usana.com.

Thank you for your support in making USANA a more environmentally friendly company.

Sincerely,

USANA Health Sciences, Inc.

The aforementioned letter is one of the multiple reasons, that my wife and I are so proud to be part of this magnificent company. You too should be.

What my wife is to me, not only this valentines.

I have had the privileged of knowing my wife for almost 10 years. Like any marriage, we have had our ups and down. Specially, when I have tried to exercised my opinion over hers (and believe me, I love to express my opinion). For many years, I wanted to make it special for her on Valentine's day not knowing that as a husband, I needed to make it special every day.

If you are like I was, buying your spouse flowers, make up or other things will make it OK for a while, if that is you, then clicking here will temporarily solve your problems. Buy her a set of Sense beauty products. But if you are not, then keep on reading. Don't get me wrong, USANA has been a blessing in my life and my wife's life. I would not be able to share what I am sharing with men today, had God not placed USANA in my life; but I am talking to the men, who wrongfully believe that wives want to feel special on Valentine's day only.

In our family, my wife is the neck that moves the head. When my wife is upset, my children are upset, and consequently, I will be upset. Many men believe that they are the head of the household; however, they do not give place to the pivoting point that turns that head. I am truly convinced that to understand this concept, you have to have God in your life. The stereotypical "macho" approach taken by many men is wrong, has been wrong, and will be wrong (woman, do as I say, because I say so).

I was told once "happy wife is a happy life," and how true that is. My wife has been able to give me the "Respect" that I wanted because I have given her the "Love" that she deserved, not only on valentine's day, but every day. We call this Love and Respect. It is best illustrated in the new movie Fire Proof Marriage.

When a man and a woman say I do, they need to mean it. In sicknesses and health, for richer or for poor, for better or for worse, till death due us part. What does that mean? If you are like I was, it meant (woman, don't nag at me, respect me, give me sex when I want, and leave me alone). Boy was I wrong! Now, it means that even when I don't feel that I can love my wife, because love is an active thing, I love her. There is nothing in this world that is going to change that. No matter what people may say, what my wife may say, what she may do, I LOVE HER, PERIOD. Just like God loves me.

Although I don't think that my wife is going to read this blog, in my heart I know that she knows that I love her, so I wrote it not for her, (although it would be nice if she reads it) but for the many couples out there that are wondering whether true love exists. In my life, my love for my wife became true when: I got closer to God, and my wife did the same. Now, we are closer than ever before, and I love it.

My wife and I share our business, our dreams and more importantly, our God. It has taken time, effort and most importantly, God to fix my marriage. So, my hope and prayer is that you too find true happiness with the soul mate that God has placed in your path, or the one that He has in store for you!

My wife is my friend, lover, companion and more importantly, my partner in life, the person that God placed in my life to go through with and enjoy it. Flowers need different things to survive and bloom and like any flower, your wife needs water, light and good soil to survive as well. This year, make a commitment that you will love your wife, not only one day out of the year, but every day of your life.

We are part of history

Yesterday marked a new day in history both for Americans and for USANA. On January 20, 2009 Americans saw the first African American be sworn in a our president. On the other hand, USANA opened officially for business in the Philippines.

Although for many individuals there is no comparison between the two, for USANA associates the feeling of accomplishment is amazing.

On their blog, USANA posted the following "in Manila, Executive Vice President of Asia Pacific, Bill Duncan, proudly opened the doors on our newest facility marking the opening day of this market and the interest in USANA has been amazing. Thousands of people enrolling to take charge of their health and take advantage of a home based business opportunity. We are all very excited over this expansion opportunity and looking forward to meeting new leaders as they grow in this beautiful country."

As we move forward on new directions, both as Americans and as USANA associates, we should always remember the day that our country and our business expanded to new horizons.

What a week for USANA!!!

It started early in the week when Dr. Wentz learned that the University of Utah marching band, which had been invited to perform at next week's Presidential Inauguration, hadn't yet reached its fund-raising goal. Dr. Wentz and USANA stepped in to assure this group of talented musicians would take part in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We helped them reach their goal and sent them to Washington D.C. with backpacks filled with USANA products to keep them energized during their trip.

On the product side, we're excited that USANA's CoQuinone® 30 received approval by ConsumerLab.com. "ConsumerLab.com is a well-respected organization focused on providing consumers with objective and accurate reviews of the nutritional products available in today's marketplace," said USANA Executive Vice President of Research & Development Tim Wood. "Their approval of CoQuinone® 30 validates USANA's dedication to quality, and underscores our commitment to providing Nutritionals You Can Trust."

USANA also received the Editor's Choice award in the latest edition of the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements. Plus, two flagship USANA products were awarded the guide's highest 5-Star Gold Medal rating. The guide is designed to help consumers make informed, scientifically based decisions about nutritional supplements.

USANA made its way onto reality television this week via the Los Angeles-based Beat Freaks dance crew. Rino Razalan, a USANA Ruby Director, and the all-female crew wowed judges during the Season 3 premiere of America's Best Dance Crew. The show airs on MTV on Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Check it out and be sure to vote.

And J.B. Ahfua, a 16-year-old Taylorsville resident who performed at the USANA 2008 International Convention, impressed American Idol judges on Tuesday to earn a golden ticket to Hollywood. Awesome job.

Our own chief executive officer, Dave Wentz, added another accolade to his already-sparkling resumé by being named one of America’s Powerful CEOs 40 and Under on Forbes.com.

Finally, Rev3 hit the streets of Salt Lake City as part of the 9th annual X-Dance Action Sports Film Festival. The popular energy drink was a sponsor of "Been There Done That," an extreme wakeboarding short film that opened the festival. It helped kick off our "Where Do You See Rev3" campaign.

Estate Planning, do you have one?

If you are like me, I want to keep as many of my assets as possible where they belong, with me and not taxed. In other words, the less I pay Uncle Sam, the more I keep. Until now, it was taught that only wealthy people needed to have Estate Planning. But with this economy, that is no longer true. Every one needs to protect their assets.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employs attorneys, accountants, and many others to insure that each and every one of us pay Uncle Sam what he deserves. Why is it then that, most of us, do not have the same. Perhaps because of price. So now I ask you, if you could save more assets, and put them in a place protected from excessive taxation, would you not want to do that?

Our law firm provides Estate Planning for individuals of all social backgrounds. We will prepare a suitable Estate Plan just for your needs, and we will help you with ways to protect your assets.

One of the ways for you to benefit will be to find a way for you to earn residual income. We can tell you were to invest your money, and how to make it grow. Robert Kiyosaki best explains it in its book Rich Dad Poor Dad. We have found a way for regular people to have income that will continue to grow, even when sleeping! Visit our site about residual income.

As Mr. Kiyosaki explains it, each and every one of us need to change from the employee and small business mentality to a big corporation and investors mentality. To accomplish that, you need to partner with a company that has proven results in helping people achieve their financial dreams.

If you are a USANA associate, we recommend that you have an Estate Plan in place, since your residual income will be taxed if not protected. As a bonus, if you are a Diamond Director and above, we will give you a 25% discount on your Estate Planning if done with our law firm. If you are an Emerald Director and below, we will give you a 50% discount on your Estate Planning.

If you enroll as one of our team members, we will do your Estate Planning absolutely free. Please contact us, so that we can tell you how to begin with USANA.

Understanding residual income

When you sale a product, or service, that has recurring monthly fees, this is known as residual income (also called passive, or recurring income) and is the best income to make, because it continues to be generated after the initial effort has been expended. USANA allow you to get residual income.

Compare this to what most people focus on earning: linear income, which is "one-shot" compensation or payment in the form of a fee, wage, commission or salary. This concept means that you only get pay for the hours that you work. Linear income is directly proportional to the number of hours invested in it (40 hrs. of pay for 40 hrs. of work)once that worked is paid for, no more income is expected, unless you work another 40 hours.

One of the great advantages of residual income is that once things are set in motion, you continue making money from your initial efforts, while gaining time to devote to other things... such as generating more streams of residual income.

If you are like I was, you work everyday for a company for a hourly wage. Your paycheck is dependent upon the exchange of your time for money. If you don't work on a given day, you don't get paid for that day, unless you have vacation or pay time off (PTO). If your job is to make stuff on an assembly line, you must make those stuff to get paid. If your job is to teach, then you must teach and so on...

What if you were the one who patented the stuff?

Then you would receive income over and over again any time someone made or bought one of your stuff. You don't have to make the stuff anymore, but you get paid every time someone buys a stuff. This is residual income. It is income that you make over and over again from work that was performed one time. Song writers know this concept well. The wealthy know this concept well, ans so should you!!!

"Leverage is the most powerful word
in the endeavor of creating wealth"
-Edward Hoagland

Leveraged Income

A related concept to residual income is leveraged income. Leveraged income is similar in that it can be residual. More importantly, leveraged income is money that you make from other people's efforts. This forster an athmosphere of leadership and team work not seen on any other industry in the world.

To use the same stuff example, if you make stuff on an assembly line for your job, you have to do that to get paid. But if you were the one who patented the stuff or the technology to make the stuff, you would continually receive income every time someone made or bought one of your widgets.

Imagine that in addition to you working on the assembly line, you could train others to do the same work and make a percentage of each person's income that you trained? Read about a company that can make this possible for you!

For example, you work the assembly line and earn $1,000 each month. What if you could earn 10% of the income for each person you trained to do the same assembly-line work? You would do the work (training) one time and be paid over and over again (residual income that is leveraged via other people's work).

Suppose you trained ten new people each month, for three months. Your monthly income would begin to look like this:

1st month: You make $1,000 and each of the ten people you train earn $1,000. In addition, you earn 10% of their monthly income (10% of $1,000 = $100 x 10 people = $1,000 + your $1,000 = $2,000 total).

2nd month: You still make your $1,000, but now you have 20 people who each make $1,000. Your income is thus: 10% of $1000 = $100 x 20 people = $2000 + your $1,000 = $3,000 total).

3rd month: You still make your $1,000, but now you have 30 people who each make $1,000. Your income is thus: 10% of $1,000 = $100 x 30 people = $3,000 + your $1,000 = $4,000 total).

This is the beauty of leveraged and residual income. By your one act of training someone to do the work, you will get paid over and over again from their efforts, and again if they train someone else to do the work. This is what USANA can bring to you.
