Together, Building Great Memories

Last week, we had the opportunity to attend the Gold Getaway event with our qualifying Gold International Diamond and Platinum International Diamond leaders at the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. The resort itself was amazing, with several water slides, a fitness center, fantastic shopping options, and even a world-class golf course. Our group interacted with dolphins, took a private boat to Rose Island for lunch and snorkeling, and enjoyed plenty of delicious food. It was definitely an experience that none of us will ever forget!

When we told someone (not acquainted with 4Life) that this was part of what we regularly do with our top leaders, he was very impressed. This is what 4Life's passport to freedom gives us—the chance to go places we would never have dreamed about and travel there with the people we love. We were thrilled to see so many of our distributors there with their children and grandchildren. We even had a few of our children and one of our granddaughters with us. These are the times we cherish as a 4Life family. Together, Building People is also about together, building great memories!

Your Passport to Freedom

What does freedom mean to you? Is it the ability to live a healthy, vital life? The means to achieve your financial and lifestyle goals? Or, maybe it's the opportunity to serve your family, your local community, and the world?

As any of our Platinum International Diamonds will tell you, achieving freedom takes real work. It's a process that has its ups and downs, good days and bad days. One of the most important aspects of working to achieve freedom is that you have to be passionate about what's most important to you, no matter what challenges may come your way.

Another important part of achieving freedom is helping others. One of the most exciting aspects of network marketing is the way in which we help each other succeed. When you work to help others attain their freedom, you're actually helping yourself as well. That's definitely not something that you can get with a regular 9-to-5 job!

Hopefully you already know about Convention 2012: Passport to Freedom in April. We challenge you to start working today so that you will be able to join us at this phenomenal event. We're confident that those who attend convention will come away energized and empowered to take real steps to achieve goals and transform their lives. We truly believe it will be your passport to freedom. We can't wait to see you in Philadelphia in April!

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."

David and Bianca congratulate International Diamonds Barry and Sue Blake while on a 2002 trip to New Zealand.

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.

Carme Solà Xalabardé

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!
