The Acceler8 Convention in Anaheim ended just over a month ago, and the Get a VIEW Conference in Orlando is a mere 16 weeks away. A lot can happen in these months between events, so now is when the real work starts.

One of the biggest highlights for sure was the prelaunch of VIEW—MonaVie Antioxidant Scanner. How incredible is it that you are now going to be able to prove the power of all of the MonaVie products? Are you one of the hundreds of people who signed up to get yours at the Orlando convention January 31–February 2, 2012? Let us know below. 

If you’ve been struggling with your weight and trying to find the motivation to start on a journey of weight loss, nothing compares to seeing Mark up on the stage—live and in person. He’ll help you understand that weight loss IS possible if you just follow a few simple rules and use MonaVie RVL.

After hearing master networker Keith Ferrazzi speak at MonaVie 2.0 in Dallas, I began reading his book Never Eat Alone. And since then, I’ve given a lot of thought to the topic of networking and building relationships.

So, when I came across this article by Alina Tugend on Entrepreneur.com entitled, Forget Networking. How to Be a Connector, I just had to share. See if you know someone that fits this description of a “connector,” as described in the article...

Yes, we, too, love a good year in review.

Here’s a look at our MonaVie Founders’ top 5 favorite memories of 2011…

Dallin A. Larsen, MonaVie Founder, Chairman, and CEO
1.    Selling the first case of MonaVie juice for $5,000 at the very first MonaVie meeting in January of 2005. This money was given to the Red Cross to help victims of a recent tsunami in Indonesia and Thailand. We started MonaVie by inviting all to give back and serve others. It’s a principle we’ve maintained.
2.    The countless letters I’ve received from distributors around the world sharing with me how their lives have been blessed physically and financially through MonaVie.
3.    The car ride in Seoul, Korea, with B.Y. Na, our General Manager, when he turned to me and said, “Dallin, what I love the most about MonaVie is that it’s offering people in Korea a way to live a More Meaningful Life.” I went back to the hotel and thought about this statement. As a result, we changed our slogan from “Drink it, Feel it, Share it” to “MonaVie – Helping People Live a More Meaningful Life.” A few months later, my good friend, B.Y. Na left this earth as he passed away due to complications from cancer. But his legacy will live on.
4.    My daughter, Boo (age 5, at the time), mimicking me at a meeting in Florida. I took her with me and as I’m giving the meeting, people start laughing. I wasn’t sure why and then I notice that my daughter is standing next to me mimicking my hand movements and my mannerisms. She’s a sweetheart.
5.    The day I got word from our accounting department that with that week’s commission payments, we had just exceeded $1 billion in commissions paid to our distributors. It warmed my heart knowing that we were indeed blessing many people around the world.

Henry Marsh, MonaVie Founder and Vice Chairman
1.    Serving dinner to tsunami victims in Sendai, Japan, and feeling of their gratitude.
2.    Attending the Superbowl with MonaVie Black Diamonds, and watching Gina Merritt, Lita Hart, and Holly Roush rush on stage to see the Black Eyed Peas.
3.    Riding ATVs on the beaches of Cabo at the Black Diamond Destination.
4.    Raising $1.5 million plus at the MORE Project Gala at Convention 2011.
5.    Seeing the positive effects that MonaVie products have on people’s lives, such as the Balusek family and Petey Dandini with MonaVie RVL.

Randy Larsen, MonaVie President of Asia Pacific, Founder and Vice Chairman
1.    Taking 350 orphans to the Zoo in Korat, Thailand, with Shah Kahn, my friend the monk, and other distributors.
2.    Visiting the flood victims of Thailand, along with many MonaVie distributors, and assisting those victims with food and supplies.
3.    My first visit to India, and meeting the India staff and visiting some charities with Katie and Raj and team.
4.    MORE Project dinner and program at Convention when I saw the true hearts of so many generous distributors give.
5.    Convention: hearing and seeing so many incredible life stories and feeling the special spirit at that event.

MonaVie recently issued a press release announcing the MonaVie 2.0 event in Dallas, Texas, this January, and it contained some compelling quotes from our leadership.

MonaVie Founder and CEO Dallin Larsen said, “The Dallas event will rock our company and this industry, will build upon the company’s previously unprecedented success and take MonaVie to a whole new level of significance.”

Jeff Cohen, MonaVie chief marketing officer, said that in today’s economic climate, in which Gallup Chairman Jim Clifton estimates that more than one billion people are either unemployed or underemployed, the launch of MonaVie 2.0 couldn’t come at a more opportune time. “MonaVie 2.0 will provide an exciting opportunity for the millions of people who are seeking a way to either replace or supplement their income,” said Cohen.  “The product innovations we are announcing, along with our universal distributor training solution, MVP, will offer individuals across the globe a whole new opportunity to change their lives—whether they’re already a MonaVie distributor or someone who is currently looking for a path to A More Meaningful Life.”

MonaVie 2.0 is not just an event, it is the “next generation” of MonaVie—and it all starts with you on January 13!

5 Reasons You Should Attend the MonaVie 2.0 Launch:

1. MonaVie MVP – One system to unify us all! Take it from MonaVie CMO Jeff Cohen: “Its beauty is that it is a universal, all-in-one system that is designed by distributors for distributors. MVP will offer access to localized business tools, reliable and ongoing communications, corporate and distributor sponsored events, personal and professional development opportunities, promotional and branded premium items, and more—all designed to facilitate distributor success at any level. MVP will help new distributors start out right and then continue to achieve success all along the way, as they seek to achieve their personal business goals.”
2. MonaVie RVLution —the biggest promotion in the industry with one million dollars in prizes for participants, easier enrollment, great products and much, much more!  After attending MonaVie 2.0, you and your friends will want to join MonaVie’s weight loss RVLution.
3. New MonaVie Products – At MonaVie 2.0, you will discover a revolutionary new approach to MonaVie’s product line, and you’ll be among the first to see and experience it. It will be AMAZING, and it will change your business!
4. New MonaVie Website – A newly designed MonaVie website will be unveiled, incorporating MVP and a fresh new look at MonaVie products. And, of course, all the great content and success stories you’re accustomed to seeing at MonaVie.com.
5. The Experience – Ask anyone who has attended a MonaVie convention or tour event, and they will most likely smile from ear-to-ear.  That’s because these events are informative, motivating and a great way to truly experience MonaVie. MonaVie 2.0 will be all of this and more, including an array of great speakers and presentations—all designed to help you kick off your New Year right! 

Jeff Cohen summed it up best: “If you think MonaVie’s first act was groundbreaking, come join us in Dallas for what promises to be an historic event.”

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...

What if you could do both?

Community commerce, aka direct selling, offers budding entrepreneurs a way to create residual income, as well as enjoy rewards, including incentive trips around the world. How do you feel about an all-expenses-paid trip to Hawaii and/or a 5-day Bahamas Cruise?

MonaVie is leading the way, with the mission of extending the Company’s unique brand and message of community commerce around the globe.
