Matt Keo: Going Green…

Image

I’ve always enjoyed wheatgrass. Maybe it started 15 years ago when I had my first job in high school at a smoothie store. I mean nothing is more delicious than a green – very green – liquid going down smooth, and tasting like grass! You may be thinking “yeah right”, but seriously once you get past the color, it isn’t all that bad (if you enjoy grass). Now a new “green” trend is upon us and I decided to try it out.I’m talking about green smoothies.

Green smoothies have been around for a while, but have really only gained momentum in

the past couple years with the help of celebrity endorsements. Celebrities that have been sighted doing the green smoothie trend include: Liv Tyler, Alicia Silverstone, Woody Harrelson, Megan Fox, and Gwyneth Paltrow to name a few. In an attempt to live healthier, a friend of mine started drinking green smoothies about a year ago. I recently decided I wanted to try one and a couple weeks ago she helped me blend my first green smoothie with this simple recipe.

Bri’s Green Smoothie Recipe (makes one glass):

4 oz. Carrot Juice

4 oz. Water

3 frozen strawberries

1 frozen banana (it’s easier to peel first, and then freeze)

2 h

and fulls of spinach (about 4 cups)

1 tablespoon honey

We blended everything and poured ourselves a couple glasses. All though it didn’t taste horrible, I felt like it was missing something (queue cheesy inspirational music), and then as if my brain recalled a lost memory from 15 years ago, I heard myself saying,

“Would you like a boost with that?”

Absolutely! I dumped my cup back in the blender and added a scoop of vanilla My Victory. I was way more surprised at the result than what I expected. It changed the color of the smoothie from a green – very green – to a slightly green (way more tolerable to drink) and even changed to consistency making it smoother. The taste was also better with the slight hint of vanilla, masking any carrot taste (yes, I hate carrots).

I’m a believer in Nu Skin’s My Victory, and now I found a great way to drink it. I feel healthier, have more energy, and I’m excited to see if my Biophotonic scanner score will increase. Have you tried My Victory with your green smoothie? Tell us what you think and share your favorite recipes with us in the comments section below.

Make the Impossible Possible with Nu Skin

Nu Skin’s impressive and continuous growth over the years can be attributed to a number of factors, including forward-thinking management, a culture that emphasizes acting as a force for good, a rewarding compensation plan, and hard-working distributors who put The Success Formula principles to work for themselves every day.

An integral part of The Success Formula is a strong belief system and having true passion for sharing Nu Skin with everyone you meet. This becomes The Difference Demonstrated® for these distributors—and the f

orce that propels them to top levels within the company.

Just Do It – Elba Morgan

Elba Morgan is an aspiring Blue Diamond/Team Elite Executive.  She was born in Switzerland, but raised in Texas, USA. She is a single mom of 2 boys (12 and 9) and loves having her boys grow up in the same house she grew up in. Elba is a PTA mom and currently works a full-time job in addition to her Nu Skin business. She has experience in the technology field working for major companies like Sabre and AT&T. However, after her third layoff from ‘corporate America,’ she was introduced to Nu Skin and immediately fell in love with the products and the company. In fact, the first day she was introduced to Nu Skin she signed up and brought two other distributors with her!  “From then on it’s been amazing and I know that I have landed exactly where I am supposed to be forever. I will put one foot in front of the other and my journey will lead me

to becoming a Team Elite!”

Elba has partnered with her sister Sandra and as business partners they have been able to create the synergy needed to reach their Nu Skin goals. They are bonded forever as family and as business partners. Every day she is setting goals and making sure she has done something to help her team grow.  “The leadership support from cross-lines has played a vital part in my growth. We lock arms and become one.”

Both Elba and Sandra have plans to attend the upcoming Success Trip Cruise in January by reaching Ruby Executive.

“I believe in the people, the product, the company and the leadership. If you believe and have courage and passion, nothing will stop you! I know this is my journey. I have learned so much about myself and it has made me the person I am today. I teach my boys everyday how important it is to follow your passion, find what you want to do and just DO IT! They are watching their mom and aunt live the dream.  I will never look back!”

Small Goals and Big Dreams, Caryn FitzGerald

Caryn and Rick FitzGerald are one of our strongest and fastest growing Lapis distributors in Texas.  They are on track to qualify as Ruby Distributors in July, and are excited about the upcoming Success Trip in January. They currently live with their daughter Sami in Fort Worth, Texas.

Caryn and Rick joined Nu Skin in 2010 after Caryn made the decision to search for “A vehicle which would allow me to create a generational legacy.” She was introduced to Nu Skin by a friend who told her “You owe it to yourself to see what is going on here.” From that point, Caryn and Rick have not looked back. “My friend was right! Nu Skin offered the vehicle we were looking for. The exclusivity of products, the innovation and the potential that Nu Skin offers had seeped into my blood. It was like a match was lit underneath me and I

took off full-force!”

When asked what some of the keys to her success are, Caryn shared the following. “I focus on both small goals and big dreams, knowing that if I take the daily action steps required, I will attain all that I desire… I work closely with my team and my coaches.  I mentor and train others while also allowing myself to be open to receiving mentorship and guidance from those who have walked this path before me… I’m known in my town for “half-a-good-time” as I perform half-face demonstrations.”

Caryn and Rick believe that Nu Skin has changed their life for the better. “When my daughter says, “Wow mom, it’s really cool that you can be here and you don’t have to go to work like other moms… “ My heart smiles, as it reinforces all the sacrifices I am making to create a better life for all of us.  Nu Skin has given me the freedoms I desire, both time and financial.  I am grateful every day for the opportunity I have with Nu Skin, to live life on my terms!”

Success is having a dream, believing in it, and working hard for it

“Successful distributors have a vision of what life will be like when they achieve their dreams. The key is to have that vision—not only just to have it in your mind, but to write it down. You need to write who you will be, what life will be like, and what you will do when you have achieved success. That’s what the dream really is.” – Scott Schwerdt, President of Americas Region

“I’ve seen lots and lots of people come through the business who have all the talent in the world and who would be great at this but, a month into it, they’re distracted and off they go to the next thing, because it’s just more fun. It seems to me like everything on earth requires the ability to stay on track, consistently working, working, making your entrepreneurial endeavor come true.” -Blake Roney, Founder

“No matter what today’s activity is, part of our mindset ought to be, ‘How can I add a little more value to this enterprise? How can I add a little more value

to what we’re doing today in order to squeeze more out of life than we are right now?’ That means we do not settle for doing as little as possible. It means we do and give as much as we can. That is the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is a choice.” -Steve Lund, Executive Chairman of the Board & Executive Director NSE

“We each come to this earth with a few fears but what matters isn’t what our fear is but what we do with it. Do we let it conquer us or do we conquer it? Do we let it hold us back from becoming all we can become or do we push through it and move forward? The choice is yours.” -Sandie Tillotson, Founder

“Belief is a necessary part of succeeding in anything. You need to understand the dream you’re going after and then you’ve got to believe in it enough to motivate forward action.” -Steve Lund, Executive Chairman of the Board & Executive Director NSE

Montage Deer Valley Success Trip 2012

Guest post by Elizabeth Graver, Executive Support.

It’s been four weeks and we just can’t seem to stop hearing about the buzz from the Success Trip from our distributors.

As Account Managers, we always look forward to meeting our Executives.  Still, when we get to tuck ourselves away in a gorgeous mountain view property hidden in the wrinkles of the Rocky Mountains, it makes hosting our successfully progressing distributors all the better.

We love hearing about your successes.  We love hearing about your families.  We especially love hearing these things while making s’mores around a fire.  We were so fortunate to have stars as the canopy for our “catch up” conversations.

Every now and again when I think there is no way Nu Skin or this journey could get better, I think of YOU.  I think of these same conversations being carried out under the same stars but in the middle of an ocean.

Every corner of this worl

d where you reside is buzzing with energy of new potential.  You can be proud of all of the good things you have worked so hard for, cried so much about, and toiled so extensively to achieve.

As staff, we just feel privileged when you let us into your business and into your world.  We care.  We love partnering with you.  We are excited to continue to help you grow.  We are excited to hear our events team as they plan the Success Trip Cruise.

Our excitement grows daily.  We are in meetings strategizing about how we can better support you.  So when you think you are all alone or feel overwhelmed, you give any one of us a call.  We love to talk.

And don’t forget how much better that chat could be on a beach in Belize or Cozumel.

*Make sure you qualify for the next Success Trip Caribbean Cruise, January 5th – 10th!

Montage Success Trip 2012

Have you ever wanted something so badly you wouldn’t let anything get in your way?

 Nu Skin distributors who set and achieved their goals have the opportunity to attend the June 2012 Success Trip. This all-expenses-paid trip will allow us to celebrate your success at each level from Ruby Executive to Blue Diamond Executive.  The first Success Trip will be held in beautiful Park City, Utah. During this trip you will be recognized for your achievements, enjoy amazing team building activities, take time to relax, spend time with corporate leadership and learn from others who are enjoying the Nu Skin journey.

 Qualifying distributors had their own mountain to climb.

 Those who climb the mountain and who actually achieve the success aren’t people who just accidentally discovered some obstacle-free course to success. Rather, it’s people who faced obstacle after obstacle and then worked through them. – Steve Lund, Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Nourish the Children

In order to qualify Distributors advanced to New Ruby through Blue Diamond Pin Title (Oct. 2011-March 2012), and maintained the new title for two additional, consecutive months.

Shortly after returning from a corporate fly-in, Kate decided to join in building a Nu Skin business and she devoted her time to making her business successful—attending Korean meetings in Los Angeles and setting goals with her sales support for achieving each pin title.  “Kate has worke

d extremely hard,” Korean Sales Manager David Jenkins said. “She set a goal to reach Ruby and hit that goal. And with that, she’ll now be attending the June Success Trip.”

There’s a characteristic that defines a successful distributor, and it’s productive. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in this business or whether you’re in a traditional business; the people who rise to the top are the people who are productive. It really is a critical component of this business that you be active all the time. – Scott Schwerdt, President of Americas Region

Success trip qualifying distributors conquered their Everest by sponsoring a monthly average of 3.4 signups, 1.6 LOI’s, and averaged more than 3000 GSV.

“When my dreams come true, there can be hope to make other people’s dreams come true,” Kate added. “Helping others achieve their dreams is why I will continue to work hard and spread the word of the Nu Skin business.”

Be productive, climb your mountain, and take action now so we can celebrate your success too on our January 2013 Caribbean Cruise Success Trip. The January Success Trip is in current qualification period. NOW is the time to dream big, set goals, believe you will achieve success, take action toward your dream and meet the qualifications for the 2013 Success Trip.  We look forward to celebrating your achievements!

 You can do this. We are here to help.

Motivation Monday – Goal Setting

Here at Nu Skin you hear time and time again about the pathway to success many distributors have lived. How often have you told yourself, ‘That’s great for them, but that could never happen for me?’

When you ask these distributors how they paved their roadway to success, most often they start saying, ‘I was just your average Joe, living my life, watching other people attain their dreams.’

It’s time to stop thinking success isn’t out there for you and start believing in yourself. Live in the moment and believe in yourself.

It takes focused action toward your goal and conquering your fear.

Our Mission, at Nu Skin, is to be a force for good throughout the world by empowering people to improve lives, your lives. The Nu Skin Success Formula is established to empower you with the knowledge and ability to take your business to the next level.

You need to map out your pathway to success and The Success Formula will help you.

Here is a sneak peak from the Success Formula on how you can begin along your path:

First, make a list of your lifetime goals, in any order. The important thing is to put them in writing.<

/p>

The next stop is to make a true decision to accomplish your goals. Remember, to accomplish your goal, you must avoid phrases like, “I want” or “I hope.” To really achieve your goal, you need to state with complete conviction, “I will achieve this goal.”

The third step in turning your dream into a reality is to create a focused plan. This plan will give you a precise direction, which will enable you to gauge your progress and adjust your approach as obstacles—and even new opportunities—arise.

Once you realize you can do it, that you are the one everyone is looking to and telling themselves, ‘That’s great for them, but that could never happen for me.’ You not only have been able to visualize and realize your dreams, because whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right. You are also in a position to lift and empower others. Become your own force for good throughout the world by empowering people to improve lives. We’re all in this together, now go out and seize the Nu Skin opportunity, conquer your fear, and create your own destiny.

You can do this. We can help.

The Success Formula: Dream with Maureen Fiorot

For Nu Skin distributor Maureen Fiorot, merely having a dream isn’t enough—one must focus on that dream each day until it is no longer a dream, but reality.

“I visualize and vocalize my dream every day so that I can see and hear the outcome and believe that it will become a reality,” Maureen added. “And Nu Skin is the vehicle that is helping me bring those dreams into reality.”

A distributor with Nu Skin since 2009, Marueen has seen her dreams begin to turn into reality lately as she has seen a significant increase in all aspects of her business.

“We set some very specific business goals with Maureern a few months back,” Maureen’s

account manager Nick Bandley said. “She has surpassed those goals for four consecutive months and is now focusing on a whole new set of goals.”

Maureen’s dreams extend far beyond building a successful business for just her.

Rather, Maureen is dedicated to lifting those around her and helping others find the success that they’ve always dreamed about.

“My dreams focus on collectively making a difference in people’s lives with the Nu Skin business opportunity and through its innovative produces from inside out,” she said.

With each visualization and vocalization, Maureen has thousands of people in mind—all of whom she hopes to help change their collective worlds.

“I dream about helping thousands of people to look and feel good about themselves,” she added. “I dream about making life on earth a better place because people are happier and living an optimal life.”

Motivational Monday

Life knocks you down time and time again. The ultimate goal is to make sure you get up one more time than you get knocked down. What keeps you down? Why not get up again? Many people stay down for the count because they are afraid to get knocked down again. Unfortunately life hands you lemons and if you’re afraid to make lemonade you’ll be stuck with arms full of lemons until you feel too overwhelmed.

The secret to your success is keeping a positive attitude by creating perspective through setting goals, believing in yourself, and taking action. Steve Lund, Vice Chairman of the Board and Executive Director of Nourish the Children said:

“Most of us are pretty good at creating a vision, but we’re not very good about creating true goals. A goal is a vision or a dream or an aspiration that’s attached to a plan. It’s not just that “I want this thing that will drive success,” but rather, “I want this thing and I am going to take the time to plan out what it’s going to take to get from here to there.”

“Human potential is an intriguing thing because there is no gauge on any o

f us. None of us know how much we can accomplish, and so it’s fair to say that our limitations are self limitations. That we all have capacity to do more than we understand. And we can only test the depths of our capacities by getting out there and engaging. There’s no question in my mind that everyone can go further, climb higher, and do more than they ever believed.

“In order for an opportunity to be real, in order for a business to be real, there have to be obstacles to success in place that keep other people from getting there. Those who climb the mountain and who actually achieve the success aren’t people who just accidentally discovered some obstacle-free course to success. Rather, it’s people who faced obstacle after obstacle and then worked through them.”

Today we declare this challenge. To overcome the next obstacle and get up one more time than you are knocked down. Right now set goals, believe in yourself, and take action. Take Steve Lund’s challenge to go further, climb higher, and do more than you ever believed!
