Black Diamond Kathleen Deggelman shares her insights regarding the power of the penny with her most recent article, How to Get Rich from a Penny and Earn Income for Life.

In this piece Kathleen charts the value of a single penny if it were to double it's value each day for 30 days. See chart below:

Kathleen then likens this to the MonaVie compensation plan and how she went from "zero to millionaire" in 23 short months.

This week we learned that Black Diamond Randy Haugen is not only an upcoming movie star (in Forward The Network Marketing Movie) but also a talented and requested speaker at I am MonaVie city meetings, especially on topics related to MVP.

You’ve probably seen all the Cruise for Gold qualifier stories popping up all over the MonaVie Media Center. If not, go here. Black Diamond Kathleen Deggelman is also getting in on the recognition action, recently spotlighting friend and Emerald Executive Jill Paul on her website.

You have one more week to save on the Dollar-for-PV promotion on RVL 3-Day Sample Packs and Single-Serve Packets – this deal ends October 28! Make sure to stock up and save now so you can lose more later! See what I did there?

We lost a beloved technology maven this month with the passing of late Apple founder Steve Jobs. As a Mac lover since graduate school, I learned of the news upon opening a new browser, which defaults to Apple.com and seeing a simple tribute page to the industry icon and visionary.

If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email rememberingsteve@apple.com.

Bloomsberg Businessweek releases weekly magazines, loaded with articles about home, finance, technology, innovation, management, small business and global insights. On September 19, 2011, the publication cover title was America Isn’t Working, a compelling follow up to MonaVie “1 Billion” statement.

Take a look at top story “Can Retraining Give Unemployed a Second Change?” and namely the subtitle, “Americans looking for employment often lack the skills they needs. Retraining works. Sometimes.”

You know what works…every time? Community commerce.

In fact, MonaVie Founder and CEO Dallin Larsen discussed the powerful benefits with international government and industry leaders in Washington, D.C. last weekend which is kind of a big deal, especially if it means having a positive impact on the 1.8 billion people worldwide who will never be employed. At least I think so.

Also, an interesting note…you most likely have all the skills necessary to be successful in community commerce, and if you feel you need some training, then we got your back with the upcoming launch of MVP (short for MonaVie Values People). This business building and training solution will be unveiled at the MonaVie 2.0 event, to be held January 13-14 in Dallas, Texas.

And the best news…your income is residual and limitless.

If you’re still wondering what this thing called community commerce is exactly, Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Cohen hits us with another compelling article on BlogMV, appropriately titled MonaVie Community Commerce℠: The No. 1 Business Opportunity.

It’s a good one. Read it. Leave a comment. Tell me to stop being so bossy.

Until next time...

Movie premieres are exciting! By saying that I realize I am suggesting I’ve been to my fair share of said premieres but I’d be lying if I didn’t follow up with, I actually have NOT been…to a premiere...like ever.

But I’ve heard they are quite exciting!

Also, Footloose was recently premiered and I happen to know a few peeps in the star line up so I can, in fact, confirm that movie premieres are exciting.

There, I feel better about my lead in to this blog post. Whew.

Speaking of movies, here’s one that we should all be waiting with baited breath to premiere, in that, it not only will be about our beloved industry, it will feature one of our beloved MonaVie Black Diamonds!

The movie: Forward The Network Marketing Movie

Our film, Forward, will take an honest look at the Network Marketing industry. Our goal is to research and interview people associated with the industry, wade through all dogma, hype, and false facts to discover the positive difference this amazing industry is making in our world today.

MonaVie’s Black Diamond Randy Haugen was recently interviewed for a segment that will appear in the final production. Read the behind-the-scenes post about his interview and what the director thought of our dear Randy. The title pretty much says it all.

Randy Haugen Emanates Authenticity

Of course, Randy is no newbie when it comes to lights, camera, action; not after his Black Diamond documentary, produced by MonaVie after hitting the ambitious rank.

Watch Randy and Valorie Haugen’s Black Diamond documentary.

Even still, we are pleased Randy will be representing not only the industry but a little piece of MonaVie and what we stand for – way to carry the banner Mr. Haugen!

I’ll follow up once I know the release of Forward. For now, you can follow them on Facebook and receive of-the-moment updates direct from the source.

It appears those who qualified and attended the Diamond Destination are taking in the very best of Maui, Hawaii and the Grand Wailea Resort, Hotel and Spa, all the while enjoying some much deserved down time, fun in the sun and quality MonaVie family togetherness. Here's a brief message from Dallin and Karree, along with their two youngest children.

Oh and they have a moment of silence for those who could not be there...of course they kid, but perhaps the best recourse is to make sure you're there next year!

Oh and for more photos by CFO Devin Thorpe, visit his Facebook page, where he's posted albums from the first four days.

Taken by our very own Chief Financial Officer Devin Thorpe, here are a few selects from the first day in beautiful Maui, Hawaii.

I wanted to extend and share on how much MonaVie has helped me in my life and changed it for the better. It is not just the benefits from the product for sure. It is a rock solid product and has helped me feel better no question about it, but the benefits I have received are not for the most part because of the juice. I have been moved in places I never knew I had until I allowed myself to grow as a person and dig deep inside me on my purpose in life.

Having people believe in you is a weird feeling at first but afterwards it is really cool. No matter what ups and downs I have the people who basically care from their hearts was a overwhelming feeling for me. The Runzers have been amazing people to talk to and learn from. Duane and Kory Baker Henderson have showed me nothing but respect and help and picked me up when I went down and always encouraged me to keep going when I thought things were lost.

The Runzers gave me a case of EMV for my wedding, drove to my house and left me it all wrapped up on my doorstep. Keep in mind I am one person on their team of over 800 people and counting but they did something I will never forget, that small token from them is something I don’t get during the work day and has meant a lot to me. I have spent over 50 hours on a charter bus back in 2008 to go to Salt Lake City for a team event at that time and even when my confidence was not there and still wondering is this juice thing for real? But Duane and Kory told me I was going and found a way to go, after traveling across a half of province and through several states nonstop to get to this event I’m thinking all the way "what the heck am I doing?" but I was going to Utah for a juice event. Just thought if I do not go I would be missing something. Well after listening to a few people I got to thinking if these people can do this so can I. I did not know how I am going to but I just thought I’m going to find a way. The first speaker at the event was Dallin which caught me by surprise. He came out and I just froze up; he started to talk and I was hooked. His story how MonaVie just about did not make it, the potato fields and his parents, after what he shared I knew that this juice thing is the real deal and the integrity is solid.

Since then I have had some small success and some set backs but still in the game. I have watched several webcasts since and plugged into social media with Shante and learning from her. The Legacy team has been amazing and meeting Mark Crawford and several others has been awesome. During last year’s Indy I did get the quick chance to shake Dallin’s hand at the Edmonton City Airport where the MonaVie jet was. He and Henry were outside chatting and I just came across them, shook his hand and said hi but got all messed up with my words. I wanted to say thank you to him but could not talk. It was so cool to meet him after watching webcasts and hearing him in Salt Lake City. Chuck G. has been amazing in my journey and has responded to me on Facebook and has connected with me in ways I cannot express.

MonaVie has helped with my dealings with people and confidence as a person. I was a really negative person for a long time. My health is better for sure and picking healthier options is regular practice when I shop. I am truly touched and blessed to be part of this company and as Dallin says we are just getting this thing started!

Now I hope this was not too long but so much has happened since 08 and I will get to the finish line.
