CORPORATE MESSAGE
Realizing Max’s full potential
Dave Bagley, Max Co-CEO
It is an exciting time to be associated with Max International.
This is the year all the pieces of the puzzle come together
and our Look, Feel, Live philosophy comes to fruition. The
unprecedented cellular support Max supplements provide
has now been combined with Visible Solutions TM for a more
complete anti-aging package that allows you to look as good
as you feel.
As Max has come to this pivotal point in our history, I’m excited
to be appointed as Co-CEO along with Joe Voyticky. It’s a
humbling position but one backed by a lifetime of preparation
for both Joe and I in different ways.
I quite literally grew up in this industry and have grown to love
and respect it—but I’ve seen both sides as well. I saw my mother
as a single parent with no college education and six children to
care for, attach herself to this industry. We had big dreams as
a family. I remember sitting on the foot of my mother’s bed talking to my mom and siblings about
what we would do when we finally had enough money. We were a team—each of us a spoke in a
wheel of success. If any of us bailed out the wheel would wobble. But together we were convinced
there wasn’t anything we couldn’t accomplish. The beautiful thing about this industry is it has the
power to make dreams a reality, but all of the spokes need to be in place.
I remember attending opportunity meetings and conventions and seeing the difference the products
and opportunities made in people’s lives. I also saw the other side. I saw how people’s lives were
impacted when their commission checks were cut in half or when the products no longer had the
same impact. That is part of where my passion for product development came from.
With the right company, the right management, the right players in the field, and the right products,
there isn’t an industry that can do more to positively impact people’s lives and that is what Max is
all about. We’re committed to being the highest-class company that exists in this industry. Without
the field there is no Max and we will do everything in our power to ensure that the needs of the
field are being met. You have our full support. Together we can walk in unison and make this
incredible dream a reality. Let’s begin today to give each other the stability we each need to make
that happen.
Sincerely,
Dave Bagley

CORPORATE MESSAGE
Making dreams a reality at Max
Joe Voyticky, Max Co-CEO
When I think about the things that led me to Max, it is an amazing journey. Sometimes life
brings us places we could never anticipate being, but once we are there we can’t imagine being
anywhere else.
My background is about as varied as it gets. As a child I went from milking cows on the farm I
grew up on to delivering Chinese food on the streets of Brooklyn when my family relocated to
New York. Can you imagine a bigger contrast? Harvard Law School was in my future, followed
by 14 years as a finance lawyer with a top tier finance firm representing international banking
institutions and Fortune 500 companies.
As varied as my background is, the thing that was common through all of it was hard work.
Nothing was handed to me. Quite often the odds were stacked against me, but I made it
happen because I refused to settle for less. I’ve met many Associates who have that same drive
and determination and that is one of the things that makes Max great.
The day my good friend Erin Edmonds gave me a call and asked me to work on a transaction
with a little company out west I’d never heard of is a day I will be forever grateful for. The transaction involved trying to acquire
a company called CellGevity, that I had also never heard of. I knew nothing about glutathione, and I consider myself a pretty
educated guy. The things I would learn about Max, about CellGevity, and glutathione research and product development would be
life changing. The same is true of your prospects, many of whom are in the same position of not knowing, but needing to know.
The acquisition of CellGevity not only strengthened this company but put Max in a position to remain the glutathione leader for
decades, which makes it a truly unique and important company that we are all privileged to be a part of. The last thing I expected
when I flew to Utah to meet with Dr. Nagasawa and Max leaders was that it would eventually become a career choice, but
sometimes life puts you where you need to be.
Nothing in my past career prepared me for how personal this business is, but I love it. Instead of working with prestigious institutions
in the world of high finance, I find myself mixing with energetic, passionate Associates in the field. I want to protect your opportunity
and help each of you make your dreams more than just something you hope for, but a living, breathing reality. As Co-CEOs, Dave
and I are committed to making Max even more solid and creating an opportunity that won’t only keep your hopes alive but turn
your dreams into a reality.
Sincerely,
Joe Voyticky

TRAINING
VISIBLE SOLUTIONS TM : A NEW, POWERFUL WAY TO
INTRODUCE PROSPECTS TO MAX
Many Associates and prospects alike have wondered why a company like Max, which has specialized exclusively in groundbreaking
supplements providing optimal cellular support, suddenly branches out into an area that is seemingly saturated in the marketplace.
Associates like Kim Surra, Stacy Chapman, and many others who have extensive experience in skin care products with other companies were
some of the most skeptical when Max Co-founder Steve Scott told them about this new phase in product development.
“Over the years I’ve spent thousands of dollars with anti-aging lotions and potions, most of which did some—but very little—of what they
claimed,” Max Diamond Associate Kim Surra said. “I was a top one percent income earner for my company, so I know a little something
about skin care and building a skin care business.”
Kim said despite the complete trust she has in Steve Scott as a true visionary, she was nonetheless very skeptical. It has been her experience
that when things look too good to be true they usually are and this line seemed as if it fit into that category.
“When I got my product, as skeptical as I was, within one use of the whole system, the difference in my skin was unbelievable,” Kim said.
“I totally recommend this to anybody who gets this product and wants to share it as a business. Put it on one hand and not the other and
start showing people.”
Like Kim, Gold Associate Stacy Chapman has had extensive experience in skin care and was equally skeptical when Steve told her about
Max coming out with its own line.
“I was skeptical because, like a lot of you, I don’t want to be embarrassed,” Stacy said. “But what happened with the products is—they
worked! They produced results but, more than that, they did it quicker than I ever expected.”
Stacy said someone recently asked her a question which is quite a common one, “I thought we were a company that specialized in
3

TRAINING
groundbreaking nutritional supplements, why are we suddenly doing skin care? Won’t that take the focus off of what we’re doing?”
Stacy’s answer? “Not at all. I’ve found from years of working in spas that you have to work from the inside out because why does our skin
show aging? One reason is, like other cells, our skin cells produce excessive amounts of free radicals, those unstable molecules that are
controlled by antioxidants in our skin.”
Simplify marketing
Co-founders Steven Scott and Greg Fullerton feel this brings the Max tagline “Look, Feel, Live” full circle. With Max Solutions you can now
look as good as you feel. Also important is what it can do for people in terms of building wealth. This product is a great introduction to Max
and its other products and could be one of our most powerful marketing tools to date.
Stacy talked about a friend of hers that has been taking Max products and loves them but whenever Stacy talked to her about joining the
company her reply was the same, “Oh, I’m just not a sales person. I can’t sell. I just can’t.”
When Stacy demonstrated Visible Solutions products on her the first thing she said when she saw the results was, “I have two daughters
who would absolutely love this.” Stacy then used the opportunity to remind her friend that if she signed up as an Associate and then
signed up her daughters it would offset the cost of the products. Suddenly a person who could never have seen herself selling anything is
experiencing the power of a product that practically sells itself. It can also become the gateway for introducing other equally powerful Max
products.
Demonstration = Sales
The extreme demonstrability of these products is what makes them so powerful. Steve Scott and his assistant Madison Lindsay sponsored
several events where they demonstrated the products on women who were walking by.
“The majority of these women knew nothing about Max, nothing about skin care and within 60 seconds of applying the product they were
amazed,” Madison said. “They were showing their hand to their friends, to their sisters, their mothers, all the women that were around them.
So it caused this stir among all the women and everyone wanted to get the demonstration. They had never seen anything like it and were
ready to buy.”
Madison said 100 percent of the women she demonstrated on personally purchased the products. Madison also had volunteers helping her
who had only 10 minutes of training before the event. Madison explained to them how to demonstrate and they did. Even with their lack of
experience they were able to close 50 to 60 percent of the time. Steve had the same results on the women he has introduced the products
to.
“I demonstrated on 200 women in the last two years and in every case they wanted it,” Steve said. “Often times they get mad at me when
I say that I couldn’t give it to them because I was always using lab batches and didn’t have any available.”
In later demonstrations, when he had a steady supply of product to give to them, he found that 100 percent of the women who stayed on
the product for 60 days or more never wanted to be without it.
Given how demonstrable these products are, and how easily they sell themselves, marketing them simply means opening your mouth
and letting people learn for themselves what the products can do. Once they are introduced to Max through these amazing products an
Associate can then say, “And look at what else we have.”

EVENTS
LAS VEGAS KICKOFF GETS 2011 OFF TO ROARING START
More than 400 Associates and guests joined Max
in Las Vegas last month to mark the beginning of
not only a New Year, but a new era at Max, as the
Visible Solutions Skin Care System was officially
introduced.
Beginning with a Golds and Above dinner on Friday
evening, continuing with a business presentation
that night, and concluding on Saturday with a rich
day of training, recognition, two car giveaways,
and visionary direction from the corporate team,
the event was roundly praised as one of the most
exciting and helpful events in Max’s history—
maybe the best ever.
On Saturday morning, Max Co-founder Steven K.
Scott set the tone of the weekend and members of
the corporate executive team who followed shared
with the audience how they will make Max better in 2011. All Associate in attendance were recognized for their current rank
and Max’s newest Platinums and Diamonds also had time to share brief remarks.
The bulk of the event was, of course, dedicated to Visible Solutions. Dr. Daria Davidson highlighted the science behind the
products, and emphasized that what the skin care products do on the outside (and how quickly the results come) is what our
supplement products do on the inside.
With training from those with deep experience in skin care, and with emphasis on how to best use Visible Solutions to build a
strong business, all who attended caught the vision of how they can achieve more with Max. For all who couldn’t attend the
Vegas event, you either need to get with someone on your team (upline, crossline, or downline) who was there and get trained,
or get to an upcoming event to get a sense of what you missed. The success of your business may depend on it!
In the event ballroom, 20 demonstration stations did steady business showing people what One Minute Wonder can do.
According to one experienced voice, “I’ve never seen a busier store at a Max event.”
Congratulations to the winners of the Driver’s Seat Promotion, Part II:
New Benz fulfills long-time dream
Irene and Bob Hurley were enjoying a quiet evening with their kids at their home in Tillsonburg, Ontario, looking at photos on
the computer when the phone rang. When Irene heard Mike Lebrun’s voice on the other end her first thought was, ‘Why is
Mike Lebrun calling me at 8 o’clock on Saturday night,’ when she suddenly realized—he’s in Vegas! And she put two and two
together.
5

EVENTS
“All of a sudden I could hear the roar in the background,”
Irene said. “I felt a wave of excitement washing over me. I still
think, ‘Wow, is it really true?’ Of course, test driving cars really
helped.”
Bob, being the gentleman he is, let Irene choose the car
after they researched their options. Irene went with her heart,
choosing the Mercedes Benz because, among other things, it
sparked memories of a diesel Benz her brother used to have,
which she and her friends would drive around in on Saturday
nights back in high school.
“So many great memories,” Irene said. “I have always wanted
one since.”
The Hurleys have only been with Max since August of 2010.
After joining, Irene decided she was going to FastTrack to Gold
and as a result of a lot of hard work ended up with 43 points in
the contest. She had a big learning curve to overcome at first but had a lot of help from her team. She had great mentoring
and support from Mike Lebrun, who was willing to do things like travel from Ottawa to help with meetings in their area.
“John Otto also mentored me amazingly,” Irene said. “Bob was my rock, covering for all the areas that were left lacking as I
plunged into this new venture!”
The Hurleys were recognized by their Max peers at an event in Ontario the weekend after Vegas and at a second celebration
in Montreal the week after that. Being recognized by Carol Ford and Mike Lebrun, in the midst of their peers, their family, and
their team, Irene said, was awesome. “Thanks so much to all who helped make this possible for us,” Irene said.
Audi win a team achievement for Puerto Rico Associates
In contrast to the Hurleys quiet night at home, Maritza and
Julio Rivera were enjoying an exciting, high-decibel night
in Las Vegas amongst friends and team members from
Puerto Rico when they won their car.
Had there been a blackout in Vegas that night, the energy
generated from the Puerto Rico section could have
powered the strip for at least a couple hours when the
Riveras names were read as the winners of a new car.
They brought the house down!
“The first thing that came to mind was to thank God when
I saw my wife jumping up and down,” Julio said. “That’s
when I knew we had won the car.”
6

EVENTS
The excitement displayed by their team was a sign to the Riveras that it was an achievement their entire team shared.
“More than a team, we are family,” Julio said. “To tell the truth, I had never won anything before. We felt it was a great privilege.
I challenge everyone to go after your dreams because they can become a reality.”
With everyone on their team working together the Riveras were able to earn 65 points in the contest. The Riveras chose the
Audi because they have had good experiences with that brand in the past.

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
MAX OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES IN SINGAPORE AND AUSTRALIA
Rick Nelson, Vice President of Business Development, announced last month that Max Singapore went live as of Wednesday,
Jan. 19, 2011. As our fifth international market, and our first foray into Southeast Asia, Singapore will provide an important
foothold in one of the most populous regions of the world, Rick said.
Also, after a long period of laying the groundwork and ironing out the details of opening in Australia, Max is ready for prime
time in that country as well. Co-CEO David Bagley and Justin Call, Vice President of Sales and Support, will participate in
several kick-off meetings beginning Feb 11 and 12 in Sydney. For a full list of events, and to register, visit the Max website.
“It’s a very exciting time in that market,” Rick said. “We appreciate your patience. Australia is a very important market. It was
well worth the wait. Australia represents a massive opportunity for Associates and a springboard into future markets.”
Jim Stevralia, Vice President of International Development, said a number of leaders from the Philippines, North America,
Australia, and New Zealand are working hard to build a foundation in Singapore with tremendous success. Additionally, New
Zealand, another critical market in the Max family, will celebrate its first anniversary on February 19, 2011, as well as the first
Road to Diamond Celebration with Max leaders the day before the anniversary event. The Road to Diamond celebration is
invitation only but you can register for the anniversary celebration at max.com.
Relative to our future in Southeast Asia, Rick cited statistics from the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, 2009,
11

INTERNATIONAL GROWTH
that showed sales generated by direct sales were US$260 million in Singapore alone!
“All told, 464,000 people are engaged in direct selling of some sort, with 50 percent being part-time, and 30 percent being
women,” Rick said. “Our Southeast Asia headquarters will be the Manila Philippines office. This strategic location helps us
leverage investments we have already made in the Philippines.”
“It couldn’t be a better fit for our needs,” Rick said. “Services provided for Singapore from the Manila office will include
Leadership Support and Customer Care. Joey Sarmiento, general manager of the Philippines, will spearhead this effort, and
build on the success we’re enjoying in that market.”
As we begin in Singapore, both MaxOne and Max N-Fuze will be available. Commissions in Singapore will be paid in
Singapore dollars (S$). Shipping will be provided in-country, with will call orders for easy pickup. All of the Australian orders
will continue to ship out of our New Zealand office.
Jim said we are currently going through the approval process for making Visible SolutionsSkin Care System available in
both Singapore and Australia markets. There is no release date for this product in either country, but when it does become
available, it will be huge for the business development as it is already proving to be in North America.
Max.com/sg went live at the same time as our Singapore launch last month, along with a localized version of max4u.com.
This milestone fulfills the vision of providing Associates best-in-class tools, and a consistent global experience, right from the
start of opening a new market.
“May 7, 2011 will be our official kick-off event in Singapore featuring Co-founder Steven Scott. Now is the time to get
positioned,” Rick said. “All Max Associates are welcome to establish teams in Singapore and Australia, but as always, we
encourage you to do so with sound plans and counsel from your upline leaders as you continue to build strength in your
home markets. Thank you for making these market openings possible. Great things await us in both of these countries!”

FAQ
VISIBLE SOLUTIONS
What makes this product line different?
A. The Max Amino-Nutrient Complex is what sets this product line apart from all others. This exclusive blend helps to naturally
optimize collagen, protect moisture and raise hydration levels, increase and enhance elasticity and protect skin against free
radicals.” This blend is included in every one of our products and is backed by independent user group and clinical studies.
Is the Max Amino-Nutrient Complex exclusive to Max?
A. Yes, this is an exclusive blend developed for and formulated for Max. No other skin care line has this combination.
What is the base ingrediient of this product life?
A. The base ingredient is a special patented form of Aloe Vera. It promotes healthy recovery and renewal of the skin as well as
helps regulate the pH of your skin to help keep it healthy. It is important to note that many other products use water as the base
ingredient which is not nearly as effective in delivering the nutrients to the skin.
How much of the One Minute Wonder do I apply?
A. Imagine frosting a cake; spread the product on lightly, enough to cover the surface, without rubbing it into the skin.
If I use a quarter-sized amount of One Minute Wonder 3 times a week how long should it last?
A. The One Minute Wonder should last 60-90 days when used as directed. You will find that after you learn how to use it, you
will need less product then you initially use. Effective use involves rubbing it in small circles approximately 40-60 seconds after
application. If you wait too long (2-4 minutes) before rubbing, it will not work properly as an exfoliator.
How does the One Minute Wonder liquefy on my skin?
A. The pH of your skin is what actually causes the product to change texture. Visible Solutions helps to regulate the pH level of
your skin to achieve a healthy, hydrated glow.
How do I know when the One Minute Wonder is ready to be rubbed off?
A. After applying the product, allow it to sit on the skin for roughly 40-60 seconds. You will notice that it goes from a tacky looking
texture to a more liquefied or watery look. Begin to rub in a circular motion, if product does not instantly start to ball up stop and
wait 10 seconds and then begin again.
What is actually balling up on my skin when I use the One Minute Wonder?
A. The One Minute Wonder is a gel exfoliator that gently exfoliates without being abrasive. When you gently rub in a circular
motion the gel is gently picking up the dead skin cells, dirt, oil and the debris that is sitting on the surface of your skin.
How often should I use the One Minute Wonder?
A. We recommend you use it at least 3 times a week or more if desired. Because our bodies are constantly pushing dead
skin cells to the surface, it is essential to make sure that we are continually removing the dead skin, dirt and debris. This
allows fresh, new skin to come to the surface more readily while at the same time hydrating the skin, minimizing pore size
and evening skin tone and texture.*
13

FAQ
Where does the pink color in the One Minute Wonder come from?
A. Since our products are free of any artificial fragrances or coloring, the vibrant pink color you see in the One Minute Wonder
comes from the well-known vitamin B-12.
What would happen if I left the One Minute Wonder in the sun or out in the cold—would it become less effective
or ruined?
A. This product is affected by cold temperatures. It should be kept at ambient (room) temperature when possible. Heat
will not affect it as much as extreme cold, but if you expose it to sustained and extreme cold, allow it to return to room
temperature before using (when it turns back into a gel). It should be stored in an area no colder than 40°F (5°C).
How long can the lid stay off the One Minute Wonder before it becomes ruined?
A. The lid should be placed back on the product immediately after use because it is moisture sensitive. Do not leave the lid
off for more than a few minutes during each use.
Can I just use the One Minute Wonder first instead of a cleanser since it claims to remove all the dirt, dead skin,
and debris anyway?
A. Yes. You may find that when you use it in the morning that it is not necessary to cleanse before you use it. We suggest
using it on clean skin because if you have moisturizer or treatments on your skin it may affect the degree of exfoliation.
Why isn’t a cleanser and toner part of the package? Aren’t those essential to most skin care lines?
A. Cleansers are a very important step of any skin care regimen and we recommend that you use your favorite cleanser
together with Visible Solutions. Visible Solutions focuses on providing powerful anti-aging products that will have a dramatic
effect on your skin.
Will the cleanser/ toner I use affect my results with Visible Solutions?
A. No, a cleanser will not change or hinder your results with Visible Solutions no matter what shape your skin is in. However,
we do suggest a gentle cleanser that is free of sulfates (sulfates strip the skin of the good oils). Also, avoid using a cleanser/
toner that has a high pH (alkaline) which can also remove necessary oils from the skin and leave it tight, pulled and dried out.
If I use my own exfoliating cleanser does it make the One Minute Wonder less effective? If I use both is that
exfoliating too much?
A. No, what makes the One Minute Wonder unique is that it is a “smart” exfoliator. It will only remove the dead layer of skin
cells and does not touch the healthy living cells. You cannot over-exfoliate with this product. You will find that at times your
skin will exfoliate more than at other times.
I have always used a toner, how should I incorporate this into the Visible Solutions skin care system?
A. The purpose of a toner is to bring the pH of your skin down to a normal range after cleansing. Many are made with drying
ingredients that do not provide a good environment for the rest of your skin care products. If you have a toner you like, make
sure it is gentle, does not dry your skin and is not made with alcohol. You can use your toner before you begin your regimen
starting with the Youth Recovery Serum.
14

FAQ
Will Max be coming out with a Visible Solutions cleanser or toner?
A. The potential is there to add a cleanser/toner to the product line in the future, but there are no concrete plans at this point.
Can I incorporate some of my favorite products in with this system or will it cause the products to be less
effective?
A. Yes, you can add your own products. Acne treatments such as Retin A can be used with this system. If you are using a
Retinoid treatment, you should wait approximately 20 minutes between the Retinoid application and the rest of the regimen.
There is a glycolic blend in the Skin Brightening Mousse so you may want to avoid using another glycolic product (also
referred to as AHA)* during the day when you use it.
Does it really matter what order you use the products in? Why?
A. Traditionally in skin care treatments you should apply serums before creams so the oils in the moisture do not slow down
or block penetration into the skin. Serums are very concentrated and made to penetrate quickly so those usually are applied
first. The moisturizing products have natural emollients and penetrate slower so those are usually applied after a serum. The
order that you use the products is not as important as simply using them consistently.
It don’t really like the feel of the Youth Recovery Serum. If I take that step out will it make the other products
less effective?
A. The Youth Recovery Serum is a very powerful anti-aging product and not using it will diminish the results you see with the
entire system. If it feels too heavy or tacky, you may be using too much. Try cutting back on the amount you are applying.
I heard it’s essential to use a sun block when using any product that contains AHAs--is that true? What do you
recommend?
A. It is true that the us of AHA can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of sunburn. We suggest wearing protecive clothing
and using a sunscreen every day. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen that gives you both UVA and UVB protection. UVA rays
are the aging rays (gives you brown spots) and UVB rays burn the skin. We suggest using at least SPF 25 each day.
Is there any sunscreen in the product line?
A. No. A sunscreen over 15 SPF (outdoor protection) requires adding Zinc to the ingredients. Zinc changes the consistency
of the product and gives it a heavier feel and may cause issues for people with sensitive skin. Not having sunscreen in the
products allows users of all skin types to get the visible results they want by using the product line. We encourage you to
apply your own sunscreen if desired.
Are there any skin disorders that Visible Solutions would worsen or not be good for? What are the Conditions?
What effect will it have on those conditions?
A. We cannot make any medical claims regarding the ability of Visible Solutions to treat skin disorders. The ingredients in
the products will help balance skin and keep pores clean—when you do that you have a lower tendency to produce oil and
bacteria. Acne is less likely to develop when skin is kept clean.

PRODUCT
DOING WHAT NO OTHER SKIN CARE PRODUCT CAN
Visible Solutions Skin Care System TM brings a new dimension to Max International and brings our original tagline of Look, Live, Feel full circle.
Four years ago Max came into existence when some of the top marketing and scientific minds came together to distribute the revolutionary
product MaxGXL ® .
Since then, Max has released products that have each further solidified our standing as the world’s glutathione leader. Now with Visible
Solutions we can do for the skin and the appearance what our groundbreaking products have done for our cells and the inner workings of
the body.
There are a lot of skin care products out there, but with the four patented ingredients making up the proprietary and exclusive Max Amino-
Nutrient Complex TM , nothing currently on the market can do what these products do.
At Max, we’re privileged to have many prominent Associates with a lot of experience in skin care. The one thing they consistently have in
common is that, despite initial reservations about Max branching out into skin care, they are blown away by what these products can do.
Gold Associate, Stacy Chapman was very skeptical when Max Co-founder Steve Scott informed her about the then-forthcoming skin care
line. Stacy has had access to some of the best skin care products on the market for many years and has done extensive research and spent
a lot of money on skin car in an attempt to fight the aging process. She had seen so many products, many of which relied on hope and hype,
rather than high quality ingredients, clinical studies, and results.
All that and more
Visible Solutions, Stacy came to find, had all of those things and far more than she could have hoped for. Stacy said that many of the
16

PRODUCT
products she has seen over the years claim to have the ingredients that will optimize collagen, enhance elasticity, regulate pH levels, and do
all the other things you look for in a good skin care product. But when you take a close look at the list of ingredients, looking for the things
that promote those kind of results, they are way down the list. The key ingredients that make up the Visible Solutions line, on the other hand,
are at the top of the ingredient list.
These proprietary and exclusive ingredients include Terra-Pure TM Aloe with a reverse osmosis formula that ensures all the amino acids and
vitamins retain their full efficiency, which, independent of the other ingredients, allows for optimal collagen support. When mixed with the
other ingredients, critical nutrients penetrate the skin and are delivered to where they are needed most. Terra-Pure Aloe is the base ingredient
of the product line and promotes healthy recovery and renewal of the skin and helps regulate the pH of your skin to help keep it healthy.
Other ingredients include Antarcticine ® , a naturally derived glycol protein that helps to prevent dryness of the skin and serves to protect
the epidermis from extreme cold. Relistase TM is an active peptide that enhances skin elasticity and tightness. Lipochroman-6 is a potent
antioxidant that helps protect the skin from photo-aging.
These ingredients, as Stacy pointed out, eliminate the need for hype, by producing results that have been shown to be highly demonstrable.
“I promise you, you have not seen a product like this on the market that demonstrates what this product does in such a short amount of
time,” Stacy said. “And it does it every single time on every single person.”
The independent clinical studies have shown a 44 percent reduction in wrinkle depth after 30 days, a 128 percent increase in collagen I after
15 days, a 31 percent increase in elastin after 15 days and a 11.7 percent increase in elasticity after 4 weeks.*
A symphony of synergy
“Our products build upon each other because they work synergistically,” Stacy said. “Each one of the ingredients builds upon the others
so you get better and better results every time you topically apply one of our products. Clarity of the skin, a reduction in the appearance of
pores, the hydration levels, a reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles on our face, a tightening appearance of the jowls and lines.
I don’t know about you but I am in my fifties and it’s huge to have that capability.”
Stacy said that skin cells produce excessive amounts of free radicals. As Max Associates we have been well-informed about what free
radicals can do to our cells and how powerful antioxidants like glutathione combat the damage caused by free radicals. The supply of
antioxidants isn’t as great in our skin as other parts of the body, so if we fail to give the skin proper antioxidant support, collagens can be
broken down and chemicals can be released that lead to aging and the formation of wrinkles.
The mixture of proprietary ingredients in Max’s Visible Solutions work together to ensure that these critical nutrients are delivered where they
are most needed. Thus the results that have been demonstrated on women in test groups, leading to the vast majority asking for more and
wanting a steady supply.

TOP RECRUITERS
MAX INTERNATIONAL CONGRATULATES OUR TOP RECRUITERS FOR THE MONTH:
Good health a universal concept
Gary Renard, of Los Angeles, California, is a bestselling author who
goes on speaking tours all over the world to talk about his books that
have been translated into 20 languages. He and his wife Cindy heard
about Max from their good friends Brian and Gabriella Wark who were
sponsoring a workshop Gary was conducting at the University of Toronto.
After Brian directed him to max.com, Gary started taking MaxOne TM after
watching some videos discussing the product. Cindi and Gary are both
taking MaxOne with very positive results.
“I’ve been using and researching vitamin supplements for 30 years, and
this is the first time I’ve ever really felt a strong difference right away” Gary
said. “That’s all I needed. I’m not a scientist—I go with my experience.
So I signed up quickly.”
Gary had never worked in network marketing prior to signing up with
Max. His books, which include The Disappearance of the Universe and Our Immortal Reality, deal with the concept of
spiritual psychology. Although his work with Max isn’t directly related to his emphasis as a writer, he and many of his readers
are interested in being as healthy as they can be. Bringing up the topic of Max, therefore, is never much of stretch among
the people he associates with.
Gary and Cindy are also excited about the new Visible Solutions TM Skin Care System. “Like many women—plus more men
than you would expect—Cindy is always looking for great skin care products,” Gary said.
In addition to consistently recruiting Associates, Gary has signed up an impressive number of Preferred Customers since
joining Max. Not only has he introduced many of his long-time friends to Max products, but a number of the readers of his
books and people he meets on the street.
“I think if you’re enthusiastic and give people access to the information, the Max products can practically sell themselves,”
Gary said. “I don’t use the hard sell. A lot of open-minded people will be intrigued by this. Those are the ones you want. If
someone is not interested, simply move on to the ones who are.”

Get the word out about Max
Previous to Max, Liz and Pedro Arevalo of Houston,
Texas, worked in another network marketing company
for about a year, but feel that Max has so much more to
offer. Between the products—which the Arevalo’s feel
are the best in the industry—the management team,
first-rate marketing and training tools, the Arevalo’s feel
Max has everything.
Pedro works full-time as a journalist. He is the editor of
the Spanish-language Sucesos Newspaper, published
in the Houston area, and he hosts a weekly AM talk
radio show. Predro’s work provides forums for him to
write the occasional article about Max and talk about
his experience with Max and its products. He has
established a lot of credibility among his readers and
listeners over the years, and has sparked a lot of interest in Max as a result.
In addition to his presence in the media, Pedro has created flyers with product information that he leaves on cars in the
parking lots of movie theatres, supermarkets, and other places. He has also placed a video on Youtube. In other words, he
uses every means at his disposal to get the word out about Max.
Liz and Pedro are excited about the new Visible Solutions TM Skin Care System and feel it could be a tremendous boost to
personal businesses throughout the company. Their previous company specialized in skin care. With all the skin care products
on the market, offering something new and innovative is rare, and the Arevalos can see Visible Solutions is something special.
Even more important is the fact that the people who come on board because of the amazing skin care products will be
introduced to a line of products unlike anything in the industry with MaxOne TM , Max N-Fuze TM , and MaxATP TM .
Pedro feels that building a business at Max is about getting through adversity with your dreams intact. One way to keep the
dream alive is to realize that everyone is a prospect.
“Don’t dismiss anyone,” Pedro said. “Everyone you know or meet is a good prospect. If someone says ‘no’ don’t take it
personally—there are thousands of people waiting for what Max has to offer.”

Platinum Associates
Max combines the best in the industry
Sheila and Carlos Marquez, of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, are excited to have
reached this significant milestone at Max and hope their story will help their
fellow Associates and dreamers accomplish the same.
Carlos said that growing up he was always taught that the path to realizing his
dreams was to study a specific discipline or trade, then build a career around
that—which is what he did. Reality taught him a different lesson, however, when
it took him seven years after graduation to find a job in his chosen profession.
Then, even after finding a decent job, stability was fleeting. At one point he was
working for a private company that was going through a lot of changes. It soon
became clear he would either lose his job or his salary would be drastically
reduced.
Carlos was grateful to a friend who, at this stage in his career, helped him work
his way into the educational system, which he thought was the solution to
his professional problems. He would soon find that this also wasn’t all it was
cracked up to be. He talked to retired teachers and saw that their lifestyles left
much to be desired. Most of them were barely generating enough income for
the basics in life and were doing well to avoid bankruptcy.
Meanwhile the Marquez’s debt was growing along with their young family. Their dreams of prosperity were slowly becoming
nightmares and they were praying for a solution. When a friend introduced him to network marketing it seemed to be
the answer they were looking for. But this too created at least as many challenges as solutions. Over the course of three
businesses, success came and went. It got to the point where Sheila asked Carlos to choose between her and the business
they were working. Through it all, the greatest thing he gained was experience. He was building the skill set that would allow
him to make the most of the opportunity when the right company came along.
When his good friend Julio Rivera asked him to watch a video featuring Steven Scott he felt almost immediately that this was
it and he finally found his niche. “The background, abilities and vision of this man, Steven Scott, were remarkable,” Carlos
said. “The product he was selling seemed truly unique.”
His experience on the product confirmed this, exceeding his expectations. Carlos flew to Salt Lake City to meet with Max
executives and ended up joining the company along with Julio, and Hector Marcano. Mentored by his sponsor, Julio, he has
been able to refine his skills and build a strong team at Max.
“I decided to start doing things the right way, being lead by my upline Julio Rivera,” Carlos said. “Julio and Maritza have truly
impacted our lives for the better. The good thing about network marketing is you can start over every day. I knew that Max
had all the elements we needed to achieve our goals and if I failed it was my own fault.”
By focusing on creating a duplicatable system and helping their team build to Bronze, their entire team is experiencing the
success they dreamed of, including Mario and Glendalize Eliza, who have advanced to Gold.
“We want to send out the message to all of the Max leaders in the world, and especially in Latin America that this is a real
and unique opportunity,” Carlos said. “There has never been a better time to get involved with Max.”

Diamond Associates
Never give up on your prospects
As Analis and Hector Marcano, of Caguas, Puerto Rico, celebrate their
advancement to Diamond, they are equally excited for Sheila and Carlos
Marquez and their rise to Platinum. The Marcanos are thankful for Julio’s
persistence when he was introducing them to Max. After six years in the
industry, Hector flatly told Julio he had no interest in another opportunity. But
Julio knew if he could get Hector, Carlos, and others, whom he knew would
be an asset to the company, to the fly-in in Salt Lake, they would see what
Max stood for and would have a hard time resisting the opportunity.
Hector was extremely skeptical at first (both because of his past experience and his current circumstances). It took a lot of
convincing on Julio’s part, but joining Max is a decision he, Carlos, and Julio are sure they will never regret.
Despite being very impressed with the company, the leadership and the product, it took time for Hector to decide it was really
something he wanted to pursue. Having recently become married and was just starting a family, and he didn’t want to take
risks with his career. He was resistant to change.
Instead of joining Max after the fly-in, Hector told Julio to continue on the products and give him an update in a few months.
Meanwhile, Hector went back to his job as a supervisor with Dish Network, where he was doing well and falling into a routine.
But Max stayed in the back of his mind.
“One day I started wondering what would happen if Puerto Rico were to face a natural disaster like Chile or Haiti and other
places,” Hector said. “Our earnings would disappear.”
Eleven months after the fly-in Hector bumped into Julio. Hector said that since the fly-in he was in the exact same place in
his business, while Julio had made substantial progress in his Max business. Hector realized it was a possible solution to his
economic concerns.
Hector immediately went on the products and had great results. He started actively working the business. The lesson of never
giving up on prospects came full circle when Hector refused to give up on his friend Pastor Jesus Figuero. Pastor Figuero
was busy remodeling a church at the time Hector approached him about Max. Hector’s repeated attempts to schedule a
meeting with Pastor Figuero were constantly delayed. One day Hector decided to simply stop by the church, prepared with
a presentation to give Pastor Fiuero and his workers.
“To my surprise all of them chose to get involved with Max International,” Hector said.
Now Pastor Fiuero has advanced to Platinum and Hector is seeing the lives of his team being transformed by Max, which is
extremely gratifying.
“The great thing about this industry, and Max in particular, is that as you realize your dreams people around you do the same.
It’s a beautiful thing,” Hector said. “Helping others succeed is most important thing of all.”

Sharing Max is a gift
Jose Camacho, of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico, found out about Max from his good friend Victor
Aponte. After researching the company, he decided to pursue the business because
of the unique and effective product and an aggressively rewarding compensation plan.
He found that when he told people about his experience on the product it sparked an
interest.
The Camachos’ product testimonial is simple but powerful and has significantly
changed their life for the better. Jose found he was able to stay alert all day without
getting tired in the middle. His wife who had to care for three children as part of her busy
daily routine, could make it through the day without a hitch. Their product experience
seemed to strike a chord with many people who find that having the energy to stay
productive and vital throughout each day was no small thing.
In addition to a unique, life-changing product, Jose feels the Max compensation plan
aggressively rewards hard work.
Economically speaking, the Camachos have always tried to live by the philosophy that each year at Christmas time they are
more financially viable than the year before. Since joining Max, they have done well enough that they were able spend an
incredible week with their family in Maui, Hawaii, during the summer and still have enough to spare at Christmas time. This
year they are planning for another Hawaii trip along with a cruise and are working out a plan to make it happen.
Jose feels it’s equally important to form an action plan with the members of his team. He suggests Associates identify leaders
on their team who will help them work out an action plan to achieve their goals now.
Jose said every morning over coffee he discusses with his wife what he is going to do that day. A typical day consists of
calling prospects to make or confirm appointments, to talk about the opportunity, and work with his team.
Jose said he makes new prospects wherever he goes—the bank, a party, the laundromat, stores, the bakery and everywhere
in between. He sees each opportunity to share Max with someone as a gift. He listens to the needs of each prospect and
customizes his approach accordingly. Doing this has also opened the door to new contacts because when one contact
senses that he’s got a good thing, it leads to referrals.
Advancing to Platinum or any other rank, Jose feels, results from becoming a better person every day, increasing your
commitment to your team, spending time with your family, realizing each of your dreams. In doing this you become a good
example to those around you.

“The sky’s the limit,” Jose said. “Dream big and you will be successful. We will find ourselves on the beaches of the world.”

Staying positive in a negative world
Via Cartagenas, of Harbor City, California, found that she was drawn to Max
despite a vow to never get involved with network marketing again. When a
friend persuaded her to attend a fly-in in 2007 she was immediately impressed
with Max leaders, but it was ultimately Dr. Keller’s product that was the deciding
factor.
The science behind MaxGXL ® was intriguing and immediately sparked an
interest. Her results on the product were even more impressive than the science.
It was no effort to be passionate about sharing it with her friends and within a
month of joining the company she had handed out 40 boxes of the product.
Via said that credibility of the product combined with the integrity of the
management created trust in the company that has remained with her ever
since.
Advancing to Platinum involved, first of all, having a product she could believe
in and be passionate about, then having the courage to share that passion
with people she knows and cares about. It also involved keeping the businessbuilding
process simple.
Her relationships have also been vital to her success, including her mother Remy and her daughters, Olive and Celwyn.
Upline support from people like Henry and Teresa Kramer has been invaluable and she feels they have played the biggest
role in her advancement.
“They are the best partners I ever had,” Via said. “Teamwork is vital. Keeping it simple and staying positive in a negative world
are the ways to succeed. When you believe you can, you can’t go wrong. If you’re convinced you can’t—you’re right. Positive
thoughts produce positive action.”
Max is an opportunity that needs to be shared
Jesus Figueroa Rivera, of Carolina, Puerto Rico, is a pastor and a former network
marketer. Before Max, Jesus had taken time away from network marketing to focus on
his ministry and hadn’t worked in the industry for about two years. That all changed
when he received a call one day from his good friend Hector Marcano.
“Hector told me he had an opportunity he had to tell me about,” Jesus said. “I could
hear emotion in his voice that I can’t express. I told him to meet me at my church. I
understood his emotion when I learned about the company and the products.”
Jesus said he decided to get involved the same night. When he started taking the
products he found them to be the best he had ever experienced, and had incredible
results. Now, in addition to his work in the ministry Jesus works Max
“I just speak out, because I know deep inside I have the best opportunity in my hands,
so why be afraid to share it with others,” Jesus said.
Jesus feels extremely blessed in all aspects of his life. He said God has given him
a beautiful church where he can gather with his congregation and a company with
products he truly believes in and can feel good about sharing.
“My advice to Associates at Max is don’t be afraid to share this opportunity with people,”
Jesus said. “Your business with grow as you bless other people’s lives.”

Max is about show and tell, not a hard sell
Steve Plog, of Las Vegas, Nevada, has become known as the ADD guy. He holds a regular
seminar called “Why I Love My ADD.” To add to his mystique, he always dresses like Johnny
Cash—all in black. When Steve’s buddy George Reninger called to tell Steve about Max, George
used this to his advantage and asked him if he would be interested in hearing about a company
founded by a guy with ADD, which holds events where the corporate employees dressed all in
black?
This somewhat unorthodox approach, which wouldn’t have had much of an effect on just about
anyone else, immediately piqued Steve’s interest. Steve still loves those things about Max, but has
come to appreciate even more how marketable Max is because of the strength of the products.
He said he looks and feels so much better on the products, he has started dating women 30
years younger than him.
“I tell people Max is simple and easy to do and people love simple,” Steve said. “I use George
Reninger’s micro-franchise network system. We tell people we have two positions, one, inviter,
and two, presenter. If you don’t like sales, build a business as an inviter.”
Steve estimates that only about 20 percent of the population likes to or can sell. He said the vast majority of network
marketing companies rely on selling your friends on what their product might do. The better salesman you are the more
money you make.
“At Max we’re not selling, we’re doing show and tell,” Steve said. “Show them it works and tell them it’s only $2 a day to
look and feel younger.”
With that approach, Steve is confident 100 percent of your downline can make money. Steve is excited about going Platinum
because it means he can afford to fly around and visit his downline, something he thrives on.
Catch a vision, plant seeds, and the rest will follow
Before Max, Rick Monterrosa, of Miami, Florida, had been out of the
industry for eight years and network marketing was the last thing he ever
saw himself doing again. That all changed when Rick’s brother Alex told
him about a company he needed to check out. Alex told them bluntly
they would be fools to not get involved.
After doing research into the products, which were both groundbreaking
and backed by science, and the management and ownership, he could
see his brother was right.
“The amazing products, the proven track record of people like Steven
Scott and the generous compensation plan made this a true opportunity
for the person who was willing to put forth the effort,” Rick said. “We
have a vehicle through which we can dramatically impact people’s lives.”
Rick said once he caught the vision and started planting seeds the
results were very rewarding. He has learned that when you focusing on
positively impacting other people’s lives the same is returned to you.

ADVANCEMENTS - PLATINUM
“It is as simple as sharing with as many people as you can and once they get on board helping them be successful,” Rick
said. “Success at Max comes through a team effort and applying the powerful strategies of diligence and effective partnering
like Steve Scott teaches. The beautiful thing about these principles is they will work for anyone who applies them.”
Building strong relationships is an essential in this business. Rick said his first personally sponsored Gold decided to get
involved after eight months of building a relationship and not giving up on him. Patience and persistence are a must, Rick
said.
Rick is convinced that Max will become the next giant in the industry and he feels blessed to be a part of it. With Visible
Solutions TM he feels there is no limit to the potential because we have the complete anti-aging package. He feels fortunate
that he is now generating enough income to work Max full-time and he is able to custom-make his lifestyle free of the
restrictions of a boss and a eight-to-five job.
“I’m most excited about our future as a company as we get ready to expand internationally, allowing us to take health and
hope to the world.”
Relationships are more important than anything at Max
Charlotte and Christopher “Topper” Reyes of the Philippines, have
found that building a successful business with Max involves consistency
and setting specific goals that you follow up on daily. Achieving Platinum
involved making a detailed plan and helping their team build to Bronze.
Accomplishing consistent daily tasks like sharing the Max opportunity
with three to five people a day keeps you in the game. Following up with
the contacts is essential and is what leads to recruits. When you are
consistent you set the kind of example any team needs.
“A good leader is a good follower,” Christopher said. “As a leader you
must know what your team needs and help them set and achieve their
goals.”
Charlotte and Christopher have some great examples of leaders on their
team including their sponsor Esphy Cano. One of the best examples you
can set for your team is achieving new pin ranks and Platinum is a major
milestone that will serve as an inspiration.
“It motivates my team to do the business more seriously and work to achieve their goals,” Christopher said. “Max is touching
the lives of many people, especially here in the Philippines.”
Christopher thinks Max leaders should find ways to inspire their teams every day, and help motivate and encourage them in
the business.
“Remember this is a people helping business,” Christopher said. “Whatever success your team has is also your success.
Trust, love, and building good relationships with your team is more important than anything else.”
Max also congratulates Elenita Paringit, of the Philippines, who went from Silver to Platinum during the
last rank period. Unfortunately, Elenita couldn’t be reached for comment but we look forward to featuring
her when she goes Diamond, which, at the rate she is going, won’t be far off.

Diamond Associates
Stick to a plan and know your ‘why’
Greny and Jho Guadamor, of the Philippines, attributes hard work and
team work as the driving force behind the amazing accomplishment of
going Diamond in the month of December. It is traditionally a difficult
month to market with the holidays and people’s minds and finances
tied to other things. Achieving Diamond hugely impacted their team’s
motivation and belief.
“To be honest,” Greny said. “They were more excited than us.”
Fellow team members wanted to see the Diamond ring the Guadamors
were awarded. They wanted to try it on, imagining what it would feel
like when it was theirs, and hoping the success would rub off.
Greny said it’s an overwhelming feeling to provide that kind of
inspiration to the people they care about and to set the standard for
others to follow in the Philippines. The Guadamors’ mentor, Hd Yco,
who advanced to Diamond the same month, are determined to make
this a trend that spreads throughout the Philippines.
Greny said they have been so busy traveling through the Philippines supporting their team and helping them build their
business that they haven’t found the time for personal recruiting. But everyone has benefited from the Guadamors work.
“It’s our mission to help those in our downline who are committed to this business,” Greny said. “We plan to advance in the
company together and they give 110 percent.”
The Guadamors are filled with more gratitude than they can express right now for upline support from Tammy and Chris
Gingras, Patricia and Jim Fitzpatrick, Teresa and Henry Kramer, and their mentors Hd and Nitz Yco. They also thanked
Philippines General Manager Joey Sarmiento and their hardworking downline for helping to make this happen. Most
importantly the Guadamors thanked God for leading them to Max.
Greny briefly listed five keys to becoming successful at this business. The first is having the right attitude—knowing how to
learn and unlearn; second, having the right guidance through wise mentors; third, good relationships with team members
implementing the 4 C’s—Concern, Companionship, Care, and Communication; fourth, daily planning—prioritize your daily
tasks and be consistent in your business building activities; and fifth, know your “why”, your reason for doing the business.
Greny’s biggest “why” is his family. He and Jho celebrated their 2nd anniversary on January 31st. Greny said his family is
everything to him—his inspiration, his motivation and the reason he does what he does. They have two great kids, Neyjohn,
7, and Neil Josh, 1.
“It’s why I’m here at Max and am willing to do whatever it takes,” Greny said.

ADVANCEMENTS - DIAMOND
Stand for what you believe is right and run your own race
Achieving the rank of Diamond is not something an Associate ever does alone,
and Chad and Jill Statham, of Plano, Texas, credit their team for lifting them
up as leaders and trusting them with that responsibility. As an industry that
thrives on the concept of duplication, Chad feels that network marketing is
simple, but the challenge comes with cultivating the self discipline to learn and
apply the basic principles that are freely taught.
“Our business is simply to share and invite,” Chad said. “Share the products
and invite your prospects to join your businesses or become a customer.”
The Stathams singled out Rick and Michelle Teague as the Associates they
have learned the most from. Chad and Jill have observed that no matter what
is going on around them, the Teagues remain constant and consistent to the
principles they teach on building the Max business.
“I’m grateful to all the professionals in our business who truly do care about
the people, the product, and the company we represent,” Chad said. “If you
are consistent, eliminate distractions, and work hard with sincerity and humility, you can achieve what matters most to you.
Whatever you can envision, you can achieve with Max International. This is what we have learned in our two-and-a-half years
with Max: keep it simple, learn the basics, and get good at them. There are no magic sponsoring tricks.”
“If it is to be, it is up to me” is one of many catch phrases that are common in this industry and which have had a significant
impact on Chad and his approach to the business. A catch phrase he first heard in his early twenties, “To be more, one must
simply choose to become more,” really struck a chord with him.
“I took this to mean that there is a way and a path to take to be more, and in network marketing we have a better way,” Chad
said. “Network marketing is the single greatest industry on the planet. We all must protect the ideals and guard the vision
of this business. Protect the ideal that someone struggling to make ends meet may be more, become more, and live their
dreams.”
Another saying the Stathams live by is “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” The
Statham’s team knows how much they care. They know Chad and Jill are passionate about what they believe is right.
Chad has a plaque in his office titled “The Essence of Survival.” It reads, “Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It
knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun
the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up
you better be running.”
This ties in with a phrase Chad and Jill live by which is “Run your own race.” They admire and appreciate the examples of
Associates like Mike Unclebach and Dickie Poe who wake up every morning ready to run their own race and aren’t afraid to
invite people to look at Max International.
“We encourage you to align yourself with this company and your team,” Chad said. “Be loyal and committed. Stand for what
you believe is right and run your own race.”

ADVANCEMENTS- DIAMOND
Achieving Diamond is in every Associates reach
Advancing to Diamond during the typically lean month of December was no small
accomplishment for Hd and Nitz Yco of the Philippines. According to them it took
a lot of patience and love to make it happen–love for what they were doing and love
for the people they were working with and working for.
Keeping a positive attitude is a major key to success and was a big part of his
team’s success during this stellar month. It was a team accomplishment. Hd said
the impact of this advancement is something that can’t be expressed in words but
can be seen in the body language and general demeanor of the members of his
team. The excitement running throughout his team is palpable, because there is a
sense of confidence that going Diamond is something each member of his team
can accomplish this year by working together.
“The collective hope for financial freedom is within reach for each member of our
team,” Hd said. “Through hard work each person can accomplish this.”
Hd said that prospects in the Philippines are just waiting to be approached by
Max Associates. Most of his recruits have been friends and people he knows. Hd feels that it is not about the approach you
use when introducing someone to the company, but about what Max has to offer and letting them see that and decide for
themselves that it is something they want to be a part of.
“Trust and credibility play a major role in building your business,” Hd said. “Remember to always have in your heart what the
other person needs and not the other way around. Health and wealth is something everyone dreams of and we can help
people realize those dreams.”
Hd said that he and Nitz feel incredibly humbled to have the honor of being one of the first Associates in the Philippines to
achieve Diamond. They also feel an obligation to their team and other Associates to help them achieve the same goal.
“We will continue to encourage our group to have the right attitude for success,” Hd said. “If each person can improve their
attitude by one percent each day, by the end of the year it will have improved 365 percent. That’s an amazing feat.”
Hd said not a day goes by that he and Nitz don’t discuss the business and think of ways they can improve. Continually
realigning your approach to the business is vital to success. Examine what you are doing. Learn better ways to do things
and unlearn the things you may be doing that are wrong or less productive. Doing this will help foster a strong belief in the
business and give you a sense of controlling your destiny. It will also provide a positive example that can be filtered down to
your team.
Hd feels if Associates treat the business with a sense of urgency, as if this is our one chance to create significance and
success in life, it will have a positive impact on their business and will lead to Associates setting goals, working hard, and
becoming result-oriented.
“Each time I allow a negative attitude to slip through, I feel I have to replace it with 10 positive actions,” Hd said. “I want to
go to bed every night with a positive spirit and a positive outlook. I feel this will generate good vibes throughout my team. I
challenge others to do the same.”
