What is important to people in the Gen Y age group, 18 to 35, and what are the benefits of having them in your organization?
From our recent involvement with this great group of entrepreneurs, we've discovered they are overflowing with ideas, they take a fresh perspective to the way things have always been done, and they bring energy and enthusiasm to tasks that present a challenge. They love financial and time freedom, plus the chance to work from home, rather than a nine to five job in a cubicle.
Read "Y-Size Your Business. How Gen Y Employees Can Save You Money and Grow Your Business" by Jason Ryan Dorsey, for a more in-depth look at this important economic segment.
We're attending two evenings with an expert in this area and will report back to you in the next blog post. Meanwhile, embrace the Gen Y generation and enjoy a refreshing business experience.

Patience and Persistence Pay Off When You Work From Home
On a recent trip to Florida on business, I walked the beach in the morning, passing this heron, who could stand still for what seemed like forever, staring into the ocean. What you can't see in the photo, is that straight ahead of him was a fellow throwing his line in for fish.
The heron was very patient, knowing his meal would eventually be coming in. As soon as the fisherman began to reel in a fish, the heron headed for the shore with amazing speed and stole the catch. He understood the power and fruitfulness of patience. The fisherman learned that he should move to another location.
This amusing scenario reminded me to be aware of where others are successful with their business, should that be a wise move for me. Then, be sure that no one is waiting to snatch away my rewards. Also, both the heron and the fisherman had to be patient and persistent in their pursuit of a "customer".
Where can you apply more patience and persistence in your business?

Three Surprising Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Are Successful
If someone were to ask you what makes an entrepreneur successful, you might list attributes like his or her intelligence, personal appearance, education, dedication and hard work. While all of those qualities can be important, depending on the line of work, there are surprising forces in our lives that affect our success, outlined in a New York Bestselling book by Malcolm Gladwell, "Outliers, The Story of Success".
In which part of the year were you born and how did that affect your progress? Did your birthday fall in the school calendar year where you were always the youngest and smallest in your class? That decision by the education system could have affected your self esteem, always in "catch-up" mode, having to compete with older students. If you were amongst the oldest and biggest, then you had the advantage both academically and physically.
This aspect follows students all through the school years, and is particularly important when they try out for hockey, basketball or baseball. It's an interesting phenomenon to see that the majority of players on the Junior World Hockey Teams were born in the months of January, February and March, making them the oldest in their leagues at all stages of development. As ones who exceled at each age level, they would have been favored for extra training and privileges.
Success, says the author, results from a steady stream of advantages, including when and where you were born, what your parents did for a living, and the surrounding circumstances.
Since our daughters were born in the same year, nine months and three weeks apart, they could have started kindergarten in the same school calendar year. We opted to hold the youngest back a year, so that she would be closer in age to her classmates. On hindsight, it was a wise decision, since she excelled academically and in music, being on a level playing field.
And being from the middle class, as pointed out by the author, we were very involved with our daughters' lives, reading with them, providing music lessons and extra support for whatever interested them. They grew up expecting to graduate from university, with fulfilling careers, and they did.
What year were you born and what was happening in the world then? In the case of people like Steve Jobs, born February 24, 1955, Paul Allen, January 21, 1953, and Bill Gates, October 28, 1955, they were all born exactly as computers were just being introduced to the world and each had special opportunities in their teens to spend time on the first models. Had they been born earlier or later, they may have missed the opportunity to be as creative and inventive as they were.
What kind of opportunities were you given and did you take advantage of them? When we look back on our lives, we see all kinds of opportunities that fell in our way. Teachers who took a special interest in us, scholarships and part time jobs that allowed us to attend university, a chance to make a difference in the broadcast industry during its infancy.
The opportunity to become entrepreneurs was presented to us at just the right time in our lives, when we were ready to work from home and enjoy time and financial freedom, free from the corporate structure.
The author says the key to success is whether a person has the strength and presence of mind to seize opportunities, whether they grew up in poverty or in a privileged home setting. Read the Outliers to see how it fits into your world.

Five Reasons Entrepreneurs Reach Financial Freedom
Remember that parcel of land that you were offered 20 years ago, but you figured you couldn't afford it, and then it tripled in price within three years? That happened to us and we've regretted it ever since, especially since the land is probably worth 10 or 20 times the amount today.
Back in 1971 we read a book by David Wilkerson that said to buy gold, which was $35 an ounce at the time, and also to store gold and silver jewellery, coins and silverware in your safety deposit box for the day when you have to use it to barter. You already know that we didn't do that either, although we do have a few items stashed away at the bank. We would be multi-millionaires today if we had taken out a second mortgage on our home to buy $50,000 worth of gold coins back then, and have solid financial freedom.
1. So you already know from these examples that rich people are savvy about what is happening in the marketplace and they take action immediately. That's number one, where they tune into trusted, well researched sources for advice, but also watch what's happening around the world to make their own decisions. They know a good deal when they see it and they find a way to work it to their advantage.
2. Once you stop working for someone else and you are your own boss, is the day you begin your journey to financial freedom. Every dollar you earn is your own dollar to keep, invest, spend or give away to charity. Being your own boss includes leasing only those items you can write off at tax time and buying the things that you can't lease. In other words, don't work for the banks and the leasing companies, let your money work for you.
3. With a job, you have a structured income, perhaps including some perks like bonus plans or profit sharing. When we stepped into entrepreneurship 16 years ago, we discovered the power of creating multiple streams of income, which is leveraged and residual, all without a ceiling on how much a person or business can earn.
4. Those who declare that they don't like to sell, will be left behind, because everything in life is about selling, even if we call it something else. Those who understand selling, assess all the reasons a person might say no, and then determine a plan to bring about a positive reaction that meets the customers needs and pocket book.
5. Get personal and leave customers feeling good about their decisions. When I was editor of a business journal, I noticed how the publisher immediately found common interests with a customer and established a good relationship in his conversations. When they chose to advertise in the magazine, they made the decision happily, because the publisher had created a positive, feel good atmosphere.
So those are just five reasons entrepreneurs reach financial freedom, although there are many more to discuss in the future.

Kevin Guest: How Will USANA Enrich Your Life?
Kevin shared how his father always brought him up to "do good" in life, whatever his career choice. For him, USANA is the ultimate choice for doing good, providing the opportunity for people around the world to benefit from top quality products and the highest paying business plan in the industry.
USANA provides the opportunity to make your own health better, to be about good work, and to help others enjoy financial freedom with their own USANA home based business.
"We can't change lives without being in the relationship and people-attraction business," he said. "We're all on a journey where we need to take risks and throw aside whatever is holding us back from reaching our greatest potential."
What a great time to be in USANA if you have a big, big vision for your life and want to bring value to the lives of others! Here's the listing Kevin shared with us, of recent and 20 year track accomplishments, amongst them being chosen in an article in Forbes Magazine as one of the top 5 pick companies for stock investments in 2012.
. Almost $600 million in sales this past year
. 1.75 billion in commissions and bonuses to Associates over the past 20 years (Yes, you can earn a lucrative income with USANA)
. USANA has the highest payout percentage of profitable, reporting companies in the industry.
. USANA is listed in the top 25 worldwide of all network marketing companies
. From 2004 to 2011 USANA has posted a steady growth curve of 12% ... an enviable record.
USANA will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary this year at its International Convention in Salt Lake City this August 14 - 18, where many exciting introductions will be announced, so you will want to be there. And all through the year, new incentives, products and programs will be rolled out, to bring even greater value to customers and Associates. USANA will no doubt continue its steady growth curve, so you can sit back and watch it happen, or you can play an active part in the excitement and help make it happen.
Join our Success on Purpose Team to Change Lives for the Better.
Would you like a piece of that billion dollar profit?

Financial Freedom With Reduced Taxes and Increased Benefits
Consider the benefit of attending conferences at home and even around the world, to increase your earning capacity, while writing all or a portion of the expenses off because of your home based business. Ask your accountant about the many tax benefits in your area, by establishing a viable home based business.
Work from home in a relaxed atmosphere, free of corporate determined hours, deadlines and meetings. Think of the savings in your clothing budget, less meals at restaurants, and daily travel expenses to and from your place of work. Imagine instead, spending each day in your sweatsuit, taking 30 seconds to walk to your office and meeting with contacts by phone or online, and then writing off many of the normal expenses included with a home based business.
Financial freedom with a home based business is a wise choice for those who understand multiple streams of income, whether this is achieved on a part time or full time basis. A USANA home based business in particular, allows you to redirect your spending from the super market to your own business, while reducing your taxable income and creating an automatic, international source of income.
This world renowned company, provides a home based opportunity that is not only an excellent way to financial freedom for you, but for your family as they inherit your USANA business.
Please contact us to discuss how you can experience this kind of freedom with the Success on Purpose team.

USANA: Be Your Own Boss To Control The Direction of Your Life
Stepping into business ownership is becoming more and more common, with the onset of job losses and economic hardship.
The challenge to be the boss of your own business, is often pursued in order to gain greater control over your time and finances. If that scares you, entrepreneurship has many unique advantages. Work for a paycheck with someone else, and you give away that control.
Your employer determines your hours, income, commission checks, place of work. From my experience, an employer directs when you'll take a vacation, lunch and coffee breaks. There's very little room for compassion or flexibility when facing family issues that require your time and input.
With your own USANA home-based business you have the freedom to drive the kids to school, coach their soccer teams, be home when they are ill, help a friend move during the day, and golf whenever you want.
Apparently 94% of rich people own their own businesses, with the taking of responsible risks considered a necessary ingredient for creating massive success. The average net worth of self-employed people was an impressive $1.3 million, more than six times the net worth of the average worker, according to the Franklin Prosperity Report.
Be your own boss and you take on the responsibility for building a strong business. The rewards for being willing to learn continually, improve as you progress, bounce back from mistakes, and drive through the tough times, are well worth it.
With a USANA home-based business, you are supported by one of the best management teams and scientific departments in the industry. Marketing materials, webinars, seminars, conventions, local events, all provide an opportunity to be financially free.

Three Things That Propel You to Prosperity.
1. Passion/Emotional Involvement
This sweet newborn is one of the reasons we are thankful for good health and time and financial freedom. It's so important to spend time with him without the pressure of corporate demands. We are so deeply in love with little Jayden, that we appreciate being able be with him at every opportunity.
The residual income developed in network marketing, and in particular, with USANA Health Sciences, and a home-based business, opens that vista to control your own hours and choices. What's the passion that drives you to pursue greater financial freedom?
2. Focus
When you work from home, there are many distractions that can pull you away from your goals, from your action plans and your daily work schedule. It's imperative to chart your daily activities, such as determining when you'll check for phone messages, when you'll participate in social online marketing, and when you'll make follow up calls. Write out in detail your 90 day, 6 month, one year and 5 year goals, to avoid being side tracked.
3. Team Effort.
While your own achievements count highly towards your time and financial freedom, greater success always comes to those who are masters at encouraging the best from others as well. With our USANA home-based business, we've witnessed how those who build a strong team of leaders, generate the greatest level of financial freedom.
So what's on our schedule for the week? If we don't answer when you call, we might just have baby Jayden on our agenda at the moment, but we'll get back to you promptly.

Don't Work for Money, Just for the Money
When looking for a good job, one of the first questions a person often asks is, "Is this worth my while? Do you value my skills and experience? How much will I be paid?"
Not as many job applicants ask, "What value can I contribute to your organization that would make it worth your while to hire me?"
As an entrepreneur, in the same vein, when you set your goal to achieve financial freedom, you won't reach it if you just center on how much you're going to get in return for your efforts. The very rich report that your aim needs to be on creating value for others, and the money will follow.
Centering on your own goals to make money, can lead to deception, pressure tactics and insensitivity, which are quickly exposed, with disastrous results.
Instead, money comes to those who first offer value for products or services, that meet the needs of a particular market and truly enhance other people's lives.
For example, with your company, you can center on manipulating people to order your products or services, without first determining what the best decision would be for them. The result with that approach is a short-lived transaction, with disappointment on both sides, and consequently, immediate income without a lasting relationship and sales.
Never do anything just for the money, ever. Instead, find something you love to do that offers society something valuable, and the money will follow, especially as you develop your skills for effective listening and marketing.

Friendships Are A Global Benefit At USANA
Prior to becoming Associates with USANA Health Sciences, some 16 years ago, our friends were mainly from our church circle. There were a few as well from various companies, but we had little in common beyond business.
You see me here with Therese Dandeneau, a friend and member of our Success on Purpose USANA team. We first met her through another team member, and now we count Therese and her husband Bob as good friends. Because we all care about our health and want to encourage others to be proactive with theirs as well, we have much in common. She happens to be musical, so we share that interest as well.
During our travels to USANA conferences, cruises and speaking engagements, we've gained friends from around the globe. It feels good for the soul to have their support, and to support them in return. We are constantly learning from our friends and feel we are becoming better people because of them.
Cherish your friendships. Cultivate them. Make a new friend on a regular basis.

How to Win Beyond the Wavering Stock Market and Take Control
It can be depressing to watch the stock market suffer due to the European debt crisis. Watch your stocks go up and down daily with the latest news. This does not lead to financial freedom, but rather financial stress and even failure.
Closer to your doorstep is the U.S. crisis, hanging on the success of the Congressional Supercommittee, which can't come to agreements on pretty well every issue. The stock market was reeling again today. As the economy falls, so do jobs and businesses.
How can you take control of your own financial future? Many options are being suggesterd, including purchase of gold, silver and other precious metals.
Let me suggest a more viable option.
Leveraged, residual income through network marketing, in particular with USANA Health Sciences.
Now, you don't just sit and hope your income grows, like you would with a stock. It takes consistent effort to build a team of like-minded entrepreneurs, who value their health and their financial freedom.
Is it worth the dedication required, to sleep peacefully at night, knowing your finances are in order and growing? Are you proactive about your health, enough to take action with your supplementation, weight management and attention to food choices?
We want to share our secrets with you, for creating financial freedom and optimal health. Join our Success on Purpose blog for regular updates. Even better, contact us now to become a USANA Asso ciate and member of the Success on Purpose team.

USANA Beats the Lottery Odds
One of the lottery winnings for this week across Canada is $40 million. What are your odds for winning that jackpot? Infitismal, and even less if you don't buy a ticket.
Others gamble in casinos, where the owners realize millions every week, and most participants head home with change .
Just like the above, you have to actually participate with USANA to see million dollar results. There are 170 dedicated Associates who have earned one million dollars and more with the company.
It took us 8 years to earn our first million with USANA, while others on our team have accomplished that in four years, and yet others took 10 years. When you play to succeed with USANA, your odds for financial freedom surpass those of a lottery ticket or a casino game.
Along with the earnings, come tax benefits from owning a USANA home-based business, more vibrant health and an exciting lifestyle.
Don't gamble; trust your life to USANA instead. Join our Success on Purpose Team and begin your own journey to financial freedom.

How Does Boxing Shadow Business Success?
"El Gallo" José Antonio Rivera, a USANA sponsored athlete and three-time world champion boxer, inspired us when we shared the stage with him in the Boston area recently. He continues to push us forward mentally, as we witness his dedication and positive toughness.
With boxing added to my workouts at the gym, I'm seeing some of the similarities between that sport and business acumen.
Have you noticed that boxers have "dancing feet" to keep their opponents off guard and to be super flexible and ready to attack from any angle?
That's like a business leader being ready to spring from on top of his or her desk to meet a rapidly changing market.
Boxers employ strategic manoeuvers with their jabs, crosses and undercuts. They assess their opponent by the second, and deliver deciding blows. In the business arena, we might call it brilliant vision with a twist that surprises the competition.
Mental toughness is paramount for world class boxers and business leaders.
According to José, daily optimal supplementation with USANA, is a priority to achieve maximum, champion output.
Financial freedom and achievement in any area of your life and mine, are waiting "in the ring" as we go forward with a boxer's determination to dominate and win.

Climbing the Ladder to Success Takes Persistence, Dedication
It's daily input, which, like this Jacobs Ladder, sometimes feels like you are working hard but not getting anywhere.
However, just like this particular gym equipment, you're working your muscles, toning up, and making yourself stronger, even when it might not show at the time. Develop a long term vision for what you want to accomplish.
This particular exercise at the gym is not my favorite choice, because it requires more stamina than I sometimes want to expend. The same goes for various activities in building a strong business. Many people procrastinate and say they don't like to sell. But they are selling themselves every day in some way. They might have to spend more time developing their sales abilities so that it comes easier. (The ladder does get easier as you become more familiar with it.)
Are you procrastinating with something that would make a huge difference to your business? Get on that ladder to success and practice until your sales muscles are stronger.....or whatever part of your business needs strengthening.

#Financial Freedom. What's your Why?
The difference between those who achieve their goals in life, and those who don't, can often be tracked to their "why". What drives leaders to take action, and to push through the challenges that will inevitably threaten their progress?
Kevin Guest, President for North America with USANA Health Sciences, shared with us on a conference call this week, four areas he has discovered if you want to be successful in life and achieve financial freedom.
1. Life tests us for our level of commitment to act. Constant and consistent effort can move mountains. Rewards come when you take action until you achieve what you set out to do.
2. Our rewards are in exact proportion to our service. In the case of USANA, we are serving others for their health and their financial well being.
3. What do you radiate as a leader? Set an example and duplicate this with others.
4. Judge each day by the seeds you plant, not by your harvest. You need to over plant to get the crop you want. Put your fears aside and start with small bites of activities. Consider the potential of the seeds you plant.
Have you written down your "whys"? Are they big enough to propel you into constant and consistent action? Do they drive you to plant lots of seeds for a plentiful harvest?
Contact me to explore this further.

X Factor Contestants Share Heart Wrenching Stories
Where there is little hope for winning 5 million dollars, there is a more sure way to achieve financial freedom.
A home-based business with USANA could answer many of their needs.
When we watched the latest episode of the X Factor talent reality show, we were struck by the difficult circumstances many of the contestants are facing. One of the 16 finalists lives out of his car. Another, who just missed the top 16, is facing his home being put in foreclosure within the month and he only earns $200 a week to feed a family of four. One of the groups left their jobs and sold everything they had to compete for one of the top 16 spots, but left destitute.
This is the reality facing many Americans during these difficult economic times. And right here in Winnipeg, we are aware of talented, smart people who are totally dependent on relatives for their daily needs. Good jobs are in short supply as a person gets older.
The hope that we have witnessed for these kinds of circumstances is offered through a home-based business with the network marketing model. It's like we're going back to the pioneer days, when people teamed up to build one another's barns and plow the fields, so that everyone could prosper. That's the network marketing model. It's a team effort where everyone has the same opportunity for financial freedom, achieved through combined efforts.
It took us 14 months with USANA, to escape the corporate world and taste financial freedom. Ask us how we did it.

No Ceiling for Women Who Work From Home
"No Ceiling on your income," is the most common promise for women who are courageous enough to start a home-based business. You seldom hear that phrase in the normal corporate world.
In fact, my experience at management levels, was that my income was very closely monitored, with little chance for big leaps forward. Stock options, a management bonus and profit sharing, sweetened the pot, but financial freedom was hard to achieve.
So, how does a smart woman, or man, gain a greater sense of freedom financially? That's where network marketing comes in. When you choose a proven, solid company like USANA, with outstanding products and compensation plan, there is no limit on your income.
With your own home-based business, approaching it professionally every day, there is the opportunity to create ongoing, leveraged income, and to help others achieve the same.
Within 14 months with my USANA home-based business, I doubled my corporate income and closed the door on programmed hours and income. Nothing matches the freedom of planning your own days and evenings, working with the people you choose, and building your finances, even internationally, from your laptop, ipad or iphone.
Are you ready to work from home and enjoy a whole new sense of freedom?

#Retirement. Can You Really Live On CPP?
Robert Kiyosaki, author of the famous Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, says, "Don't be Fooled Again. I've been saying this for years: There is no longer such a thing as a safe and secure job." Success From Home magazine, September, 2011 Vol 7 Issue 10
This is a warning also, that there is no safe and secure retirement, without careful planning. Can you really live on what the government provides at age 65? Not unless others are supporting you too. Financial freedom requires ingenuity.
Plan B, found in Kiyosaki's book, The Business of the 21st Century, encourages entrepreneurship with a solid network marketing company.
When we graduated from university back in our 20's, we fully expected to retire rich at age 50. Why not? We were smart and creative.
Retirement did come early for Dave in his early 50's when the corporation eliminated his position. That's when our financial advisor introduced us to USANA (featured in Success From Home magazine this month). Freedom 55 became a reality.
Fourteen months after Dave took early retirement, I was able to leave my job as well (the government was talking about eliminating our organization, so it was excellent timing.) By then, our income with USANA was double what I was paid as Executive Director of Take Pride Winnipeg, so it was easy to transition to entrepreneurship, time freedom and unlimited income possibilities.
Contact us to taste financial and time freedom too, with USANA. Plan ahead, whether you are 20, 35, 45, 67 or beyond. There's life beyond CPP (Canadian Pension Plan).

@Denis Waitley: Don't Procrastinate, Get Out of the Gate!
"Good time management allows you to maximize the daily return on the energy and mental effort you expend."
That's the encouragement in an article in the September, 2011 issue of Success From Home magazine. Denis Waitley is one of America's most respected authors, keynote lecturers and productivity consultants on high-performance human achievement.
Denis is often the keynote speaker at USANA events worldwide.
Here are the main points from Denis - read the full explanation of each point in the Success From Home magazine:
1. Take five minutes to I.D. what you are putting off.
2. Look at your list of tasks, and do one of them right now.
3. If getting started is the hard part for you, set a designated time in the day to work on the list.
4. Don't worry about perfection. What counts is quality of effort.
5. If what you are putting off involves other people, consult with them.
6. If you fear the consequences associated with the action you've been avoiding, ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that could happen if I did this today?"
7. Vividly picture how you'll feel once the task is done.

Success From Home Magazine Features USANA for Health and Financial Success
"How USANA is Helping People Create a Better World"
That's the announcement on the cover of Success From Home magazine, September, 2011 edition.
Today was so beautiful outside, that I took a few hours to sit down on our riverbank to read the stories of people from all walks of life who are experiencing vibrant health and greater financial freedom with USANA. It makes me so grateful for all that USANA has provided for us as well.
What does financial freedom and optimal health mean to you?
I think back sixteen years ago, when we were both busy in the corporate world, myself as Director of Marketing for Economic Development, and Dave as a National Director/Producer at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
We were away from home for long hours, limited to how much we could earn, stressed out and had little time for one another or our family and friends. Was this why we went to university? To work for someone else the rest of our lives, with the possibility of a 3% raise each year?
That wasn't financial freedom. That was financial limitation. And that lifestyle was affecting our health in a negative way.
Then our financial advisor presented us with USANA for our health as well as the way to create a source of residual income. He knew that when the products made a difference for us, we're the kind of people who would want others to experience that too. He was right.
Within 14 months, we were both free of the corporate rat race and enjoying our new found health, working from home....and now from our ipads and cell phones anywhere in the world. Talk, text, Skype, and e-mail are revolutionizing the way people spread the word about USANA.
Read "Success From Home" and be inspired to look seriously at USANA to seriously improve your health and financial freedom longterm.
Deanna Waters....Join our dedicated team!
