Japan Updates

Hi Everyone!

Japan is continuing to break all sales records and there is good reason why! There has been a lot of new developments that I thought I would share with you. As a result of these developments, I am planning as part of my upcoming international trip, a trip to Japan. My trip to Asia is an opportunity not to be wasted. I will be in Australia November 4-10th, Manila Philippines Nov 11-13th and Tokyo on the 13th, Nagano on the 14th and returning to Tokyo on the 15th. I have an open ticket and prepared to stay as long as there is business to attend too.

Waiora is committed to making Japan a huge success and already have taken steps to ensure a solid future. Here are some highlights:

* Waiora is operating "on the ground", meaning we have been approved to conduct business there. We have two products that have been through the registration process, Essential Daily Nutrients and Agarigold. Waiora still offers our other products, like SkinCents and Natural Cellular Defense, through our not-for-resale (NFR) program.
* Waiora opened a customer service center in Tokyo October 7th. The new phone numbers (for Japanese speakers) are as follows:

Office Customer Service Hours are M - F 10:00-16:00
Office Customer Service: 813 4550 1675
Office Fax: 813 4550 1676
Main number: 813 4550 1692 or 03 4360 9249

* In addition, Waiora has hired Peter Dale to be the General Manager of Asia Pacific Growth. Peter has excellent experience and knowledge of the network marketing industry.
* Waiora opened a distribution/shipping center in Japan. We are shipping Essential Daily Nutrients and Agarigold. These products have labels that are printed in Japanese as well. EDN has a whole new look, and has been VERY well received by the Japanese market.. Steve Evans, (the formulator), was given carte blanche to develop a superior product and he has delivered! Agarigold, developed at the University of Tokyo is a powerful, patented and proprietary Agaricus blazei blend that is more powerful than anything else on the market. In 2007, Agaricus blazei sales in Japan alone was $250 million dollars, the market potential is enormous by simply sharing we have a better product than what they are already taking.
* A Japanese member signs up either by calling the customer service center, or by going online at www.waiora.com. When there they would click in the upper right hand corner "Select Your Market" and then they can choose either the OTG products in Japan or the NFR products in Japan. Payments are made via EFT, and all commissions are paid EFT as well.
* There are monthly meetings currently being conducted. Stan Cherelstein is there now, and is going to be doing some meetings this week. There is one more public meeting scheduled: Fukuoka: October 19, Sun 13:00-17:00, TKP Hakata City Center: 3-4-8 Hakata Ekimae, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka 812-0011, Tel: 092 474-5145 Web: http://www.kashikaigishitsu.net/kyushu/

The purpose of these meetings will be to launch the new EDN in Japan. Steve Evans the formulator of EDN will be a guest presenter. Distributors in Japan don't know Steve but hundreds of thousands of Japanese have taken products he has developed or help improve. Steve developed the liquid mineral product Maximol for Neways which went on to be Neways number one seller in Japan. In 2007 Maximol sales in Japan were approximately $400 million. Steve is very excited about talking about EDN as well as comparing it to Maximol and the other juice products.

* I also have secured a conference call line in Japan so that conference calls can be done now. (The system allows people to call a local number in their own country).
* We now have printed catalogs and other sales tools in Japanese.
* The compensation plan is seamless. They use and follow the US plan. This makes it incredibly easy for everyone!

I am only conducting private and discreet meetings in Tokyo at this point, and one open meeting in Nagano. I'll be staying at the Tokyo Hilton. Obviously the private meetings are to recruit a good solid team. When we have that in place, I plan to return and offer whatever travel support needed for long term growth.

If you would like to request some of my time, please email me as my schedule is starting to fill up.

Today is your lucky day!

The start of the Olympics is no coincidence. In fact, the Chinese put great thought into today. August 8th, 2008 is the luckiest day of the century (until August 8th, 2108).

The number 8 holds great significance....according to Wiki "The word for "eight" (八，捌) in Mandarin (Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "prosper" or "wealth" (发 - short for "发财", Pinyin: fā). In regional dialects the words for "eight" and "fortune" are also similar, eg Cantonese "baat" and "faat"."

Telephone number 8888-8888 was sold for USD$270,723 in Chengdu, China.

The Summer Olympics in Beijing are scheduled to open on 8/8/08 at 8:08:08pm.

A man in Hangzhou offered to sell his license plate reading A88888 for RMB 1.12 million.

So today I figured, why not enjoy a little luck yourself! Hit the phones hard today! Make as many new connections as possible! Reach out for new business, rekindle old business....

Get off the sofa, turn off the TV, and give yourself a solid 24 hours of activity into your business.

My guess is you may feel today was your luckiest day too!

Survive or Thrive?

The power of words really astonish me. Growing up I used to hear others say how words carry power, they form your beliefs, and that forms your actions.

I witnessed it myself for the first time when I was about 13 years old. My mother, brother and I were living with my uncle in Canada. We didn’t have a lot of money, my mom was doing the best she could, but we were broke. As most poor families, we lived with any family member who had the room. This time it was with my uncle in his basement. He was a drunk. Not a happy one, a rude obnoxious one. You know, the kind you dread when he shows up at family holiday dinners. One night, he was drinking, and started an argument with my mom. Somehow I got in the line of fire, and he yelled at me words that pierced through my heart; his words were like venom. He called me names; he said things to me that were so hurtful, which of course only fueled the fight between my mom and him more. .His words pummeled me harder than any fist, any spanking, any injury, or any other physical contact I have ever experienced. If you ever thought verbal abuse existed, it definitely does and I went through it with him. I cried that night, a deep sobbing, hurtful slobbering cry. I was so hurt that he saw me and believe I was in the context of the words he said. My loving uncle was so cruel, I thought he loved me. How it must have pained him to hate me so much. What did I ever do to him? How could I be that person he was describing?

The next morning after he sobered up, he was completely embarrassed. He regretted what he said, but it was too late. The damage was done. We moved out that day, and our relationship has never recovered. That was over 20 years ago. Sure I forgave him. But I never forgot how I felt that moment his words hit me. Do words have power? You betcha. What I hear can change my day in a moment. That goes for what I say (since you hear yourself talk).

I don’t think about that day with my uncle very often, as you can imagine, it was painful for me. But this week, I heard two separate messages about your beliefs and how your beliefs can truly shape your life. I guess having two completely different, unrelated people tell me this message; it was time to perk up my ears.

If you think you are surviving something, then you consider yourself a survivor. If you are a survivor, then you became the victim of something. Becoming a victim of something means that you were powerless over something that was done to you. Follow me here. If you tell someone how the gas prices are out of control, you’re just making ends meet, or as it pertains to your business….your organization is just barely hanging on, you are surviving the economic storm; the result is then you put yourself in a place of struggling. If you tell yourself you are only surviving, then well, you are. Your stuck. You fasten the bolts and hunker down, you dig your heels in and ‘get through it’. If this describes you, let me ask you this… how’s that working for you?

My bet is you are not getting ahead, your treading water… you are… well….just surviving. And so you should. That is what you believe, and that is what you decided.

But have you ever noticed how you are in that place, and others around you prosper during that same economic storm? Are others in your company growing faster than you can imagine? Do you rack your brain wondering what ‘magic’ sizzle call is that they are using? They are not surviving, they are thriving. How? And doesn’t that really tick you off?!?!

Well, just like you believe you are a survivor, they believe they are thriving. They truly believe that their business is booming. 2008 is really their best year yet! They believe it, they say that; they know that. They decided and made a choice to lose the powerless feeling of being a survivor and took control, they embodied the knowledge that can shift their thinking, their beliefs and their actions to move forward. They don’t dig their heels in, they keep them moving. As far as economics go, sure the economy may be going through some cycle, but a thriver is wise enough to make some decisions to thrive in spite of it. Not whine about it. Thrivers are the people whose business flourishes.

Now, if you are sick and tired of being a victim of some circumstance, fed up with watching others grow around you, if you done with being a survivor, then just don’t survive; start thriving. The good news you can change it for yourself. You have the power to shift and build your belief. Take small steps, and write the words “Don’t survive; choose to thrive!” on post it notes. Stick them all over the place. I have them in my car, on my computer, etc. When you have the urge to complain, or think the world is at it’s end, look at this note and stop the thought. Be grateful for the business you have, the home you live, the clothes on your back and the fuel in your car. Then slowly your outlook will change. Continue to fill yourself with positive messages, stop watching the news, reading the paper, or believing the world is really a horrible place. Believe your business will grow, prosper and that you are NOT a victim. Believe in your faith, believe in yourself, believe in your core that you are moving forward in prosperity… and guess what…. You will!

Expect it. Live it. Believe it.

Waiora's new Ruby Bonus rocks!

News from Corporate:
---------------------------------
In these difficult economic times where the cost of filling your gas tank has never been higher, where you get shocked when you hear how much your basket of groceries cost and at the end of the month you have little left over to pay your bills...Waiora is here to offer some relief.

We are very excited to announce the NEW Ruby Growth Bonus!

Effective July 1, 2008, Waiora members that have achieved the rank of Ruby have the opportunity to IMMEDIATELY improve their cash flow. How would you like to add an extra $500 (estimated bonus amount) this month just from the Ruby bonus? This would most certainly help your monthly cash flow and take the sting out of increased gas and food prices!

The Ruby Growth Bonus is a monthly bonus that consists of 1% of all USA volume. Distributors can qualify and earn this bonus every month they are an active Ruby. In addition, new Rubys can earn this bonus the first month they attain Ruby AND the first month they attain Emerald.

Here is how ALL Rubys can qualify:

* Be an active Ruby in the qualifying month (100 PV, 5,000 OV and two Gold legs).
* Have a qualified AdvantageShip order. This means that you must have received an AdvantageShip order of at least 100 in volume in the qualifying month.
* Personally enroll three (3) new members each with a PaceSetter order.
* Increase your month-over-month pay line organizational volume by 1,000. This is your compressed volume in five levels.
---------------------------------------
This new bonus is great news. My first question was where was the money coming from.... and it is from the Diamond Bonus Pool, so nothing was changed from the compensation plan. Now there are bonuses at the RUBY, EMERALD AND DIAMOND levels.

Waiora is growing, Japan is exploding doing over 2Million a month there alone!

Take care,
Donna

MLMQuickBuilder is a keeper!

If you haven't heard the names Bob Schwartz & Kyle Schmalhofer from Home Business Advertiser, you should. Bob and Kyle have been marketing experts for the network marketing industry for years, and have created an affordable all in one tool that anyone can use. It is called MLMQuickBuilder. It is a lead "club" where you purchase your leads (there are three various types of leads they offer), and you get a decent contact manager system, autoresponder system, calendar, landing pages, all rolled into one.

When I review many of these types of systems, either the contact manage was so complicated that I would be lost in, or the autoresponders had to be created by scratch (and who has time for that) or the leads were not included.

This system has it all; an easy to use system that is automatic. Auto responders in place, leads that you are downloaded right into your account, or you can input them. A choice of landing pages. And they have an affiliate program that basically means your leads will be paid for just by sharing this system with others.

The system is new and it is only a matter of time before everyone hears about it! Sign up and test it for yourself for a few months!

Thanks Bob and Kyle for doing such a great job!

A HUGE mistake leaders make

Close your eyes, and think of you and your organization. Do people think of you as a leader? Does your phone ring with people asking for training, tips, and three way phone calls? How do you see yourself? Do you see yourself at the top of an organization, and thinking of all those under you in organization? You worked hard to get there, right? You should be at the top, after all you hear mantras like “climbing to the top”, “see you at the top”; our industry seems to be infatuated with being and staying on top. If you see yourself at the top of your organization, and everyone else is beneath you, this is a ego driven leadership value. True leaders know that this is flawed thinking. You are not the king of the hill, queen of the heap; people in your organization are not working to make sure you stay on top. This is a huge mistake and one that stops leaders from really grasping what true leadership is all about.

When you closed your eyes and visioned you and your organization, think of what it means to be a true leader. Leadership is a skill that you fine tune and I’m consistently learning more about. If you are truly thinking of leadership, you will see yourself at the bottom of organization and everyone is above you. You are serving everyone in your group. You heard it before, this industry is people buying people. People want to belong to something, they want to join you, they want to succeed. A true leader knows that their job is to whatever it takes to help their organization grow and succeed. This includes sacrifice, time, money, and effort. This is servant leadership and it is the best type of leadership in network marketing.

From Wiki: Servant leadership is an approach to leadership development, coined and defined by Robert Greenleaf and advanced by several authors such as Stephen Covey, Peter Block, Peter Senge, Max Du Pree, Margaret Wheatley, Ken Blanchard, and others. Servant-leadership emphasizes the leader’s role as steward of the resources provided by the organization. It encourages leaders to serve others while staying focused on achieving results in line with the organization’s values and integrity.

Now, go back and think of your organization. I am sure some of you know of so-called leaders in your company that believe they are at the top of their organization and have that mentality. You will also identify the leaders that believe they are serving and working for everyone in their group, you know the ones… they walk the walk and talk the talk. Who do you want to be more like?

Don’t make the same mistakes you see other leaders make. There is a reason you notice their top-down approach, because it isn’t genuine. Follow a bottom-up approach and work to serve your group. My guess is you’ll find your group responds faster to this and will grow in action because of it.

Until next time,
Bottoms up!

My Waiora weekend in NYC

It has taken me a few days to get my routine back, but I wanted to post and share about my weekend! It was such a blast. It started by the fact the kids were able to miss some school, so already they were excited! :)

Guess who was sitting in the seat just ahead of us? Susan Lucci and her husband. Here in St. Pete is the HSN Headquarters, she makes frequent visits to sell her stuff. But she is as tiny and gracious as you see her on TV.

We were greeted at the airport by a wonderful limo that whisked us (listerally in NYC traffic it seemed we were weaving in and out so fast!) to our hotel at the Parker LeMeredin on 57th. The room wasn't ready. So we stored our bags and went right across the street to Antonio's for some pizza.... arguably in the best in NYC! The staff of 60 minutes were staying at our hotel, not that my children would know who they were or anything.... seems there were lots of celebrites all around this past weekend. After pizza, we walked, and walked, and walked and walked. I started to feel a little weak, nauseous, and wasn't sure why. I thought it was motion sickness.

We finally went to our room late in the day, and were pleasantly surprised when we were upgraded to a suite! It was fantastic! That night we had our reception on the penthouse floor of the hotel, it was great to see everyone, have some drinks and sushi.... then my husband and I met up with a few folks across the street for more pizza!!!! LOL. After dinner, I got some great "friend-time" in with Shelley and her hubby, as we enjoyed a few drinks and laughed and laughed. It was so much fun hanging out with her and Jim!

Friday was greeted with a catered breakfast then a "state of the Waiora Union" meeting, where we learned some updates, product information, etc. But boy, I just wasn't feeling well. The naseau returned. Then we were on our own until Friday night. We shopped, and shopped. We stopped at Carnegie Deli, where my son had an experience he will never forget :) , then we were back to the hotel for some R&R. I was able to get in a nap, and felt better for the rest of the day. Friday night we had dinner at Shelly's and then off to Grease on Broadway. It was excellent! Last year, we saw Lion King, I have to say the kids enjoyed this better. Afterwards, my husband met up with his brother (who lives in NYC) and they went to have drinks where they met up and had drinks with Clay Aiken. Yes, that is him in the photo below.

Saturday we woke and made our way to ChinaTown where my daughter learned the art of haggling, or bargaining.... 2 pairs of sunglasses for 9$ and a knock off Dolce and Gabbana bag for $30. Our gala was Saturday night, and then after that, I attempted to stay for the late night comedy show at Carolines with Shelley, Jim and Julio, but I couldn't hang.... the nausea came right back and I had to leave to walk back to the hotel. Walking the streets of NYC at 130AM.... it was so much fun!

Sunday we got up and saw that NYC had their 5 borough Bike Ride. Thousands of bike riders took over the streets! It was so cool. I'm feeling much better, but Julio is now feeling a little ill. I think it was some stomach virus that went around.

Anyways, it was an outstanding trip! Thank you Waiora! The next Top Performer's Trip is in Las Vegas, at the Wynn..... whose coming with me?

Waiora Fast2Sleep for free, while supplies last!

Hi there. While Waiora rocks with their Natural Cellular Defense, I had to let you know about their newest product offering called Fast2Sleep. Did you know the sleep aid industry is a 35 billion dollar industry?! That is 35 BILLION! and that over 60 million Americans suffer from some type of sleep issue??!!! Imagine getting your piece of the pie! Just think, who do you know that suffers from sleep issues? I was one of them.

I LOVE Waiora's Fast2Sleep product! I'm a stay-at-home mom, building my Waiora business, and ever since I've had children I have not had a very good, long, solid seven hours of sleep. That deep, restful sleep. My sleep has always been interrupted with kids, working ....., my international business, and on the very first night I took one of those Fast 2 Sleep strips I got the best sleep I've had in years. I've used other sleep medications and products to help me get a good night's sleep, but they always left me groggy, drowsy, feeling drugged-over the next morning. With Fast 2 Sleep I woke up refreshed and feeling great. I love this product. This is a home run~ Here is another excited result...

"Hello. My name is Jennell from Sacramento, California. I wanted to take a few minutes and give a testimony on the Fast to Sleep product. My 17-year-old son suffers from insomnia and has been taking a prescription drug called Seroquel for over two years just to be able to go to sleep. Sunday night I started having him take the Fast to Sleep product. He actually started out with two strips at night, and I was very shocked. It actually worked the very first night. He went to sleep. He was able to sleep throughout the night and was able to get up the next morning awake. You know, there was no grogginess. There was no issues. There was no problems. This is very shocking to me because we have been through so many medications. We've been through so many other natural alternatives along the way just to try to help find him something that would be able to help him sleep. The fastness he's gotten off the prescription drugs has made me a very, very happy person. I want to thank Waiora for its incredible product. You have made this Mom very, very happy. Thank you."

If you would like to try the fastest acting, natural sleep aid on the market for FREE, send me an email with your mailing address! This is huge business! So, act now, cause when I run out, I run out.
Take care
