Dream Story: New Gold International Diamonds Ileana and Hugo Johnson

We had the opportunity to meet the Johnsons at a 4Life meeting in Puerto Rico a few years ago. We were so impressed with their leadership as distributors and principles as individuals. They have a beautiful family and it was wonderful to see how well they work together. We have no doubt that they have many years of continued success ahead of them. We are so happy about their latest achievement, although it's not surprising!

We were introduced to 4Life several years ago by Platinum International Diamond Juan Rosado. We felt like what he was sharing with us was too good to be true, so we didn't give the opportunity the attention it deserved. We joined 4Life, but didn't commit ourselves to it. Two years later, we got a call from Gold International Diamond Angel Molina Gali. He told us about the 4Life opportunity and introduced us to Gold International Diamond Lily Sanchez, who's now our upline. We truly got a second chance to understand the greatness of the 4Life opportunity.

4Life has completely changed our lives. Through it, we have found a purpose for our lives and have helped make a difference in other people's lives. Many people go through life only hoping to find a company like 4Life that will allow them to achieve all of their dreams. We're so pleased that we've reached the level of Gold International Diamond. We have tremendous leaders in our organization—a group of dreamers who are committed to themselves and the future of their families. With such a great level of leadership, we felt it was only a matter of time before we would achieve success.

Our strategy in sharing the 4Life message ties closely to our fervent desire to serve and value others. We believe strongly in the power of human transformation and in helping others discover their true potential. The foundation of our business lies in furthering the personal growth of each leader in our organization. We believe that patience and perseverance are important, along with understanding that the most important process in this business is developing the faith to believe in yourself. And then, you focus on helping others.

Achieving Success Is a Process

Here is another great dream story. We love reading these, so keep sending them to us!

I tried for many years to build my organization but had very little results. Approximately ten months ago, I allowed myself to be guided by an incredible person. Gold International Diamond José Martín Rosado helped me find my special gifts that God has given to every single human being. I learned to teach others how to fish instead of giving them a fish. Most importantly, I learned to dream again and to never stop fighting for my dreams.

I learned to connect myself 150% to my team's educational system, apply it every day, and teach others to do the same. I've learned that achieving success is a process that we must go through and continue to go through in order to make those dreams come true. I am so grateful that I have learned so much—not only for myself but to be able to teach other people as well. I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel for me and my family, especially after losing practically everything we had.

With the help of 4Life, I've been able to quit one of my part-time jobs; soon, I hope to dedicate 150% of myself to my 4Life business. We have millions of people around the world that need 4Life and I know we can reach them one by one and make a difference in this world. 4Life has been a blessing for our family and I thank God we are involved with this opportunity!

Platinum Dream Stories: Dr. Herminio Nevárez and Yadira Olivo

Herminio and Yadira are the kind of leaders that legends are made of in this industry. They have taken the Together, Building People mission all over the world. Their vision and leadership are helping people change their lives for the better through the use of the 4Life products and opportunity. They understand that their success comes from helping others to succeed, and they care about each person individually.

Ten years ago, we began our journey with the 4Life opportunity. The time has gone by very quickly and it seems like it was just yesterday. Once we tried the products and experienced results, we realized that this was something big. We recognized the importance of the products and the commitment of the founders. We could see that this company would last. At that moment, we understood that we could trust in 4Life.

It's wonderful to see that as you reach your personal goals with 4Life, you are also helping other people do the same. This demonstrates that if you can do it, others can as well. When we reached the rank of Platinum International Diamond, we felt a great sense of satisfaction because we proved that anyone who dedicates themselves can also do it. That's the magic of this business. You can help change the lives of many people, in terms of their health and financial stability, and you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

Now, our family is closer than ever. We help and encourage one another, and that is priceless. That's really the basis of true happiness and only through 4Life could we have accomplished this. With love and commitment, we have developed an international business based on principles and values that transcend boundaries set by man. We feel this is the secret to our success.

4Life has continued to reaffirm its commitment to the people who have placed their hopes and dreams in this opportunity, which motivates us to feel secure when we present it to people. We love knowing that there are many people who have benefited from 4Life and its products. We believe firmly in 4Life and we are dedicated both body and spirit to this opportunity. The greatest satisfaction that we have had is to play a small part in changing the lives of others and 4Life has been our vehicle for doing it.

Rise to New Levels of Greatness

Here in Italy, people tell a story called, "The Egg of Columbus." The story goes that after Christopher Columbus discovered the New World, he spoke with a group of noblemen who told him that if he had not done it, someone else would have eventually. They were trying to diminish the greatness of what he had accomplished. Columbus then supposedly reached for an egg and challenged them to stand the egg on its end on the table. None of them could do it.

Columbus then proceeded to take the egg and gently crack one end of it, flattening it out enough so it could stand on its end. The noblemen immediately responded that they could have done it. Columbus responded that yes, they could have done it, but they didn't. It is easy to accomplish a feat after someone else has already done it, but how many take the initiative to do it first? And how many take advantage of the experience and knowledge of another to learn for themselves?

4Life is full of egg-cracking innovators who are finding ways to do what others thought could not be done. But the great thing is that we can learn from them! At BIG Convention 2010, we will have the opportunity to see how others are taking their businesses to unprecedented levels, and how, with just the right information, you too can do the same. You will also be inspired to use your own creativity and insight to help you "set your egg on end" and figure out new and better ways to overcome any challenges you may have. Be Inspired to Greatness is this year's convention theme. Columbus did it and so can you!

"The Egg of Columbus" by Antonio Boggeri, 1933

If You Can See It, You Can Be It

Visualize the greatness you desire to achieve in your life.

As you know, the theme for this year's convention is BIG: Be Inspired to Greatness. And to help you get the most out of your convention attendance, we have introduced three elements of the theme: 1) Visualize what you desire; 2) Set a plan in motion; and 3) Make it happen.

Ask yourself this: Is there anything you do without visualizing it first? Of course, there are some things that seem automatic—like getting up out of a chair or walking across the room. But when you examine the process that your brain goes through to produce such an action, you'll see that it all begins with a thought. That thought then enables you to create an end result in your mind before you ever act on it. We truly believe that "if you see it, you can be it." This idea fits in perfectly with our favorite saying: Credendo Vides. Credendo Vides is Latin for "believing is seeing." We know that when you first believe in the power of your dreams, you can make them real.

Picture yourself right now in attendance at BIG Convention 2010 in Salt Lake City. Visualize yourself surrounded by other 4Life distributors, energized by the enthusiasm and power that is so unique to 4Life gatherings. See yourself discovering that one key thing that will help you take your business to the next level. Visualizing these things and then acting on them will help you achieve the desired results. We have seen this over and over in our own lives. Remember, "If you can see it, you can be it!"

Living the Dream

As 4Life executives, our job is to provide the vehicle by which distributors can realize their dreams. When two of our most valued employees decided to leave the corporate ranks to build their own 4Life businesses, it was easy to see that the 4Life dream is indeed real! Several years ago, Kevin Moore left his position as Premier Sales Manager to become a distributor, and recently, International Director of Field Development Leo Espinosa made the same move. As we talked with them, we knew that these were not casual decisions. Both had caught the vision of Together, Building People and wanted to be on the front lines as distributors. As sad as we were to lost them at the Home Office, we know it's a wonderful compliment that they want to experience 4Life science, success, and service from a distributor's point of view!

"I began working at the 4Life corporate office in 1999, when the company was still in its infancy. Six years later, I was serving as the Premier Sales Manager, co-hosting weekly opportunity meetings and corresponding with top distributors. One evening, I was giving a presentation on the Life Rewards Plan^™. Halfway through, the points that I was focusing on hit me like a bolt of lightning! That night I went home as the biggest 4Life convert ever. I tossed and turned and stared at the ceiling as I contemplated 4Life Transfer Factor^®, the incomparable Life Rewards Plan, the power of duplication, and residual income. During that restless night I truly realized that I was with the right company, who had the right products and the right timing. So I took a leap of faith and became a 4Life distributor. It was the best decision I have ever made in my career. I have discovered the limitless promise of international business."
Kevin & Courtney Moore, 4Life International Diamonds
Utah, USA
"In the past five years, my life has been greatly affected by 4Life. I've grown in my professional career and I've been blessed with wonderful opportunities. Most importantly, I've realized that reaching financial freedom and building a legacy for the future is absolutely possible. I recently decided that I had to change my course in order to achieve my dreams. And, who better than 4Life to help me do it? This company is firmly built on principles and values. 4Life Transfer Factor truly changes lives. The Life Rewards Plan has helped thousands of people worldwide reach their own financial goals, and also aid others in the same process. My new course is clear to me. I want to do what our 4Life leaders are doing! I trust the Lisonbees' vision, I trust our great 4Life executive team, and I trust my new distributor team and leaders. I have the full support of my wife and Jordanna, and above all, I trust God. With these resources and knowledge, I truly believe I will succeed!"

Convention 2010 Will Be BIG

We often hear people ask, "What is the secret to success?" If there was one thing you could do to increase your chances of being successful, what would it be? Of course, achieving success is about much more than making one single choice or taking one single action. But, if we had to choose one thing that would help a 4Life distributor on the road to success more than any other one thing, it would be this:

Come to BIG Convention 2010, September 8–11 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We cannot think of any one choice you can make as a 4Life distributor that will have a longer lasting impact on your ability to succeed more than the choice to be a part of convention. We are still benefiting from so many of the things that we have learned at past conventions. We are still riding the wave of enthusiasm that can only be felt by being present at these events. We are still enjoying the warmth of love and friendships that can only be forged while experiencing convention together.

BIG Convention 2010 is going to be our best one ever! How can we say that? Because 4Life is bigger and better than ever! We challenge you to do whatever it takes to make sure you are in attendance. We know you won't regret it. And we promise you... it's going to be BIG. It will be BIG for your business. It will be a BIG part of your personal growth and development, and it will be BIG fun for all of us to be together again.
