Helping Others Dream Bigger

Recently, Foundation 4Life^® made a $25,000 USD donation to the Team Rentería Baseball Academy. Edgar Rentería, Team 4Life member and World Series Most Valuable Player (MVP), founded this organization in Barranquilla, Colombia to educate kids on social risks in their community, provide a positive and rewarding sports environment, engage children in baseball to keep them off the streets, and focus on the pursuit of maximizing individual talent. More than 400 kids in Colombia take part in activities in the academy.

We are honored to be affiliated with someone like Edgar, who pursues excellence both on and off the baseball field. He recognizes, like so many of you, that all the financial success in the world can mean so much more if you can share your good fortune with others. Because Edgar has achieved his dreams through baseball, he wants to help give disadvantaged kids the same kinds of opportunities.

4Life products and the 4Life financial opportunity can help each of you achieve your dreams and find freedom—whether it be health freedom, financial freedom, time freedom, or even freedom from fear or barriers. And, as you achieve your own dreams, you can share some of your good fortune with those who may still be struggling. It could even be something as small as making a $5 monthly Foundation 4Life donation to help kids around the world create better futures for themselves.

We are so thankful for the many ways in which you reach out to people in need and support 4Life service efforts all over the world. 4Life distributors are kind, generous, and compassionate—and we're so proud to know you!

 We're proud to be associated with Edgar Rentería.

Amazing Growth in Australia and New Zealand

We will never forget our first visit to New Zealand and Australia. We were so impressed with the passion and kindness of the distributors we met there. The people "Down Under" are known for their entrepreneurial and adventurous spirit and we have witnessed firsthand that spirit in our Australia and New Zealand distributors. As they fulfill the mission of Together, Building People, the people "Down Under" are truly putting 4Life on top.

Australia and New Zealand were two of the first global 4Life markets and during 2011, this region is celebrating its decade anniversary. Sales for Australia, New Zealand, and the emerging market of Papua New Guinea have been phenomenal in recent months. In July 2011, combined sales for both markets were over 50% higher than July of 2010. Plus, rank advancements in July were up 160% throughout the region!

We're especially grateful for the leadership of Australia/New Zealand General Manager Evelyn Thom. She said, "Although we represent 4Life's first international region of business, our distributors continue to break records by sharing the latest science, technology, and 4Life's proven opportunity with others. I am very proud to support the field in everything they do."

Spotlight on Gold International Diamond Carme Solà Xalabardé

Congratulations to new Gold International Diamond Carme Solà Xalabardé of Spain! This is a fantastic accomplishment for Carme and her team. We are thankful for Carme's dedication and her ability to recognize that this is just the beginning of her journey with 4Life.

Years ago, I was searching for a product to help support my brother's immune system. That's when Gold International Diamond Carlos Rocha introduced the 4Life products and financial opportunity to me. It seemed like the perfect combination. It offered the opportunity to generate income and the chance to join a team that would support me.

Before 4Life, I studied at religious universities in Barcelona and worked as an English translator. During that time, I also learned about neuropathy and natural medicine. I have read a lot during my lifetime; with 4Life, I can put all that knowledge into practice. True health and well-being are part of a balance between mind, body, and spirit. 4Life is the perfect vehicle to achieve that balance.

I live my life with purpose, and I strive to help others live that way as well. I was very motivated by the support of my great mentor Carlos Rocha and the fact that he knew how to help me achieve success. A good leader knows how to help others accomplish success through love and understanding. A leader has the strength of character to be serious about helping people change.

Reaching the Gold International Diamond level has made me realize that I have only just begun. I have learned so much and I am so grateful to those who have trusted me, both in my upline and my downline. I will always be committed to helping others become successful. With 4Life, the more you give, the more you get back. This is a universal principle for prosperity. I really feel like the best is yet to come. Every one of us who is prepared to work hard will have a success story to tell.

4Life Values

What do you value most in life? Values are things or ideas that we deem to be of worth. Values stand the test of time. They are not fads that come and go, according to whim or fashion. They are based on principles that endure. When we stay true to our values, we can then create something of value. Likewise, something that's valuable has the capacity to be long-lasting because it is built on a solid foundation.

When we started 4Life, we put in place three core values that we hoped would be as important to our distributors as they are to us.

1.  Science. We strongly believe in providing products based on cutting-edge and solid science. This value has led to the development of Transferceutical^™ Science and carefully researched, effective products that provide great value to people's lives.
2. Success. 4Life has established a great opportunity for every individual to achieve financial success. Because of this value, we have been able to attract dynamic leaders who trust us with their financial futures. They know that the opportunity to achieve success with 4Life will be around for many years to come, and that gives them confidence to commit to the company for the long-term.
3. Service. We want 4Life to be known for the excellent customer care that we provide for our distributors. Perhaps even more important, we love to engage in compassionate service for people in need. This value has brought people to 4Life who truly believe in our motto of Together, Building People, and want to be a force for good in the world. 

These core values of science, success, and service embody 4Life and what we will always strive to be as a company.  We're grateful that you—and thousands of other people around the world—believe just as strongly in values that will stand the test of time.

Helping Children Create Powerful Lives

A young girl is excited to try 4Life Fortify at the Philippines donation event in April 2011.

Have you ever had to skip a meal? For one reason or another, we have gone without breakfast, lunch, or dinner on many occasions. It doesn't take long before hunger pangs kick in and anticipation grows, wondering when we will eat again. It is hard to imagine a life in which hunger is the normal state and not the exception. Thanks to the big hearts and generosity of our 4Life family members, we are helping bring delicious and nutritious meals to children who know hunger on a daily basis.

Since the launch of 4Life Fortify^® in September 2010, 4Life distributors and employees have worked together to help feed hungry children. Together, we have provided 4Life Fortify meals to children and their families in Honduras, Ecuador, the Philippines, Costa Rica, Mexico, the United States, the Dominican Republic, and Pakistan. And, we are currently preparing other countries to receive shipments. We are certain that each of those meals was greatly appreciated and enjoyed by the child that consumed it.

At the last count, we have provided 1.4 million 4Life Fortify meals to deserving children and their families. This is an amazing number, but who can really quantify the influence for good that even one child can have when she has the tools she needs to break out of the cycle of poverty, gain a good education, and be a good example for others in her community. With 4Life Fortify and the continuing programs that 4Life service and its partners provide, we can truly help children create powerful lives.

It is wonderful to be partnered with you in this effort. Like we have always said—together, we can do things that we could never do alone.

 4Life Fortify tastes great!

Back to School Time

Last week, our grandchildren started a new school year. We thought back to our own excitement as kids about starting each new school year. Isn't it amazing how the smell of newly sharpened pencils or the sight of a lunchbox can evoke so many feelings and questions? "Will I like my teacher?" "Will I make new friends?"

As we watched our grandchildren make preparations, we reminded them and their parents to take their 4Life Transfer Factor^®. Our daughter-in-law makes sure that the kids get 4Life Transfer Factor^® Chewable Tri-Factor^® Formula in the morning before school, as well as 4Life Transfer Factor^® RioVida Burst^® Tri-Factor^® Formula a few times a week to provide immune system and antioxidant support for their bodies.

We all know that the onset of a new school year can bring increased exposure to pathogens and other challenges to the immune system such as stress and fatigue. One of our daughters teaches elementary school and she relies heavily on the immune system support of 4Life Transfer Factor products throughout the school year.

So, just as you make sure your kids have the right backpack and sharpened pencils, don't forget to keep their immune systems sharp and smart with 4Life Transfer Factor!

Your Life Begins Today!

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak with Gold International Diamond Lyubov Alimova. The first Gold International Diamond in Eurasia, Lyubov had just celebrated her 55th birthday. She shared some very inspirational thoughts with me that I wanted to pass on to you. I think we can all learn a lot from her fantastic attitude about life.

"Before 4Life, I always thought I'd be retired at age 55. People would often tell me that everything would go downhill after that point. I always thought I'd be glad if I even made it to retirement. And now, I feel like my life is just beginning at age 55!

"Birthdays are great reminders so I don't relax too much and think that I have an endless amount of time. I want to do everything I've planned and leave myself enough time to enjoy the results while God gives me the ability to do so.

"At this age, I don't have any more illusions. I look at life realistically and I know that life has its different stages. The warm rays of summer are followed by autumn and winter. But from past experience, I know that no matter what, spring and summer always come back. So, I've learned to appreciate every single day. I let unnecessary stuff go and I don't fuss over the small things. I know what's important and what legacy I want to leave to others."

No matter your age, I think everyone can take Lyubov's wisdom to heart. If you think you might be holding yourself back from your true potential, I challenge you to re-evaluate your life, your priorities, and your dreams. Your life begins today!
