Because of your passion, thousands more are on the road to achieving freedom. And, because of your generous hearts, 4Life service initiatives have made a big difference in the nutrition, health, and education of children all over the world.

Thank you for another phenomenal year of sharing the great science of our products, achieving success through the Life Rewards Plan^™, and reaching out in service to those less fortunate.

The Philippines School Expansion Is Complete!

To our delight, our daughter Jenna recently began working for Foundation 4Life^®. Last week, she traveled with Foundation 4Life Director Tracie Kay to Manila, Philippines to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the recently completed expansion at the Dona Justa Guido Memorial School. Our hearts were touched as she texted pictures of precious children to us. Jenna was humbled by these amazing children and expressed that she didn't want to ever leave them. She also felt so much more aware of the bounteous blessings she enjoys.

The school has two new classrooms, which will be used by 120 first graders. During their stay, the 4Life group gave a backpack with school supplies to each of the first graders. And, 200 malnourished students were selected to participate in an on-going nutrition program sponsored by Foundation 4Life and Feed The Children.

Jenna and Tracie were joined at the event by many special guests, including Vice President of International Steve Apple and Feed The Children President Kevin Hagan. 4Life Philippines General Manager Eileen Tan also attended, along with several Philippines corporate employees. Many distributors came, including International Diamonds Evelyn Tactac and Frank Uy Tesy, and several Presidential Diamonds and Diamonds.

Together, we can truly change the lives of children throughout the world with Foundation 4Life projects. Thank you for the generosity of your hearts!

Attitude Determines Altitude

Business expert and motivational speaker Zig Ziglar once said, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." As a home-based business owner, you know that distractions and discouragement come with the territory. And while setbacks will definitely happen to everyone, your attitude will determine how you deal with them, and ultimately, the level of success that you're able to achieve. If you maintain a positive attitude as you work through obstacles, you can accomplish whatever you desire.

Many times over the years, we've heard 4Life distributors say, "Keep your 'why' close by." The "why" for your 4Life business should be the most important goal you're working to achieve. Perhaps you're building a 4Life business so that you can put your daughter through college. Or, maybe you hope to quit your full-time job and spend more time with your family. A great idea is to keep a photo of your "why" close by so it can lift your spirits and help you keep your attitude strong. Another important element is to surround yourself with people who build you up. It can be difficult to succeed when other people weigh you down with their negative thoughts.

We hope that you will take a few moments and think about your attitude, and where you might be able to improve. Attitude really does determine altitude!

                               

Your attitude determines your altitude. Keep a positive attitude and you can go higher!

You Make Our Dreams Come True

As part of the recent ribbon-cutting event for the new south building of the 4Life Global Headquarters, we had the opportunity to entertain some of our 4Life family members at our cabin in the mountains of Utah. The 4Life group included Platinum International Diamonds Dr. Herminio Nevárez and Yadira Olivo, Platinum International Diamond Bonnie Taylor, Gold International Diamond Robert W. Robertson, Jr. MD, President Steve Tew and his wife Sherma, and Chief Operations Officer Danny Lee and his wife Tara. We enjoyed great food, had a fun time looking for beautiful wildlife, and even watched Herminio drive around the property in one of our off-road vehicles. It was a great evening!

It has always been a dream of ours to have a place like this for our children and grandchildren to learn to love and appreciate the beauty and wonders of creation. Thanks to you, our wonderful distributors, and the success you have achieved, this dream had become a reality for us. And we were thrilled to share it with some of our top leaders.

We know that many of you have the same dreams as we do. You also want to leave for your families a legacy of wonderful experiences spent together. When we all work together, we can provide truly amazing things for our families. Together, we are building people and building dreams as we go forward in sharing the 4Life products and financial opportunity with the world.

We were thrilled to welcome special 4Life guests to our family cabin in the mountains.

Celebrating 4Life Growth

The new south building of the 4Life Global Headquarters

Last week, we had the privilege of holding the ribbon-cutting event for the new south building at the 4Life Global Headquarters. It was wonderful to have U.S. Senator Orrin Hatch, U.S. Congressman Jim Matheson, and Sandy City Mayor Tom Dolan honor this achievement. Some of our great distributor leaders also joined us for this event, including Platinum International Diamonds Dr. Herminio Nevárez and Yadira Olivo, Platinum International Diamond Bonnie Taylor, and Platinum International Diamond Gabriela Daughtrey.

It was a great time to reflect on all of the people who have helped contribute to 4Life's growth and success over the past 15 years. We couldn't help but think back on the first 4Life meeting held in our living room so many years ago. We've come a long way since then, thanks to all of the amazing work you've done! This beautiful new building represents the many lives that are being touched by our great distributor force—thousands of people who are committed to Together, Building People^® and Taking Transfer Factor to the World^®. We are so grateful to all of you and our superb corporate staff that made this special event a reality.

 4Life executives, distributor leaders, and special guests cut the ceremonial ribbon for the new south building.

Make Great Habits Today

In his book, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business, Charles Duhigg explains that the brain is designed to do things in the way that demands the least amount of energy. Duhigg writes that when we establish a habit of doing a certain set of behaviors, the brain trains itself to execute those habitual behaviors so that they require less and less energy.

After reading this, we thought about making habits in relation to building a successful 4Life business. When you establish good patterns in your business, like holding regular meetings and working hard to keep in touch with your team members, those things really do become easier and easier to do. Once your brain knows that you intent to do certain things consistently, it can expend less energy in getting them done.

What if you started today to set in place a few good weekly habits? You could call your top leaders once a week to check on their progress. Or, you could hold a 4Life meeting in your home once a week. You could even commit to talk with ten new people about 4Life every week.

We're confident that just like us, you want to conserve as much brainpower as possible by developing patterns of successful behavior. We hope you'll put in place great habits in your 4Life business and life!
