MonaVie distributor Robert Dickie and his friend Bob Cassidy recently scaled Mt. Rainier and placed a can of MonaVie E^MV on its summit. Read about their journey in Robert Dickie's own words.

"Bob Cassidy and I planned this trip in January 2009 after reading Together on Top of the World by Phil and Susan Ershler, the first couple to climb the seven summits (the highest peaks on all seven continents). Bob and I became inspired to achieve that same goal by 2012 and to do it for a good cause. Climbing Mt. Rainier was a training expedition to prepare us to achieve our goal.

"We work extensively with the American Autism Association (ASA) in Washington, D.C., raising money and helping chapters around the country. Barbara Newhouse, ASA's COO, was extremely excited to build a national fundraising campaign around this endeavor. Our goal is to raise over one million dollars for ASA.

"I got the idea of taking a can of MonaVie E^MV to the summit of Mt. Rainier because I knew it would be a first. I plan to take a can of MonaVie E^MV to each of the seven summits. I see MonaVie E^MV as the premier energy drink on the market, so it seems fitting that it should be the first energy drink on the summit of Mt. Rainier.

"The journey to the top was a long one that started with months of training. My guides thought I was crazy carrying a can of MonaVie E^MV to the top because the idea is to keep your pack as light as possible. It was worth it though. The sense of accomplishment from pushing my body to its limits is more than I can put into words. I felt exhilarated that after months of training I achieved my objective. You learn so much about yourself and life through climbing. You can't quit. You have to stay focused on the next step, and you can't look up to the summit because that will get you in trouble. When we looked down into the valley, it was amazing to see how far we came by focusing on one small step at a time.

"I am inspired by the philanthropic endeavors of Dallin Larsen and the entire MonaVie staff regarding the MORE Project, and I share MonaVie's true commitment to making a difference in the world. I have found that this is not an attitude shared by the Founders alone, but this attitude seems to permeate every aspect of business in MonaVie.

"In 2010, Bob and I will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro and Mt. Elbrus, the highest peaks in Africa and Europe. MonaVie E^MV will be there!"

Congratulations to Dr. Rashid and Debbie Buttar from Huntersville, North Carolina, on achieving the rank of Blue Diamond Executive. Here's what they had to say on reaching this impressive milestone...

"When I was approached by a man promoting a fruit juice in what looked like a wine bottle, I had no interest in what he was telling me; however, the word 'açai' caught my attention because I had a contract to purchase a white dwarf acai plantation just outside of Rio de Janeiro. I didn't realize at the time that the man (Robert Lemus) 'pitching' me the juice would become one of my closest friends.

"It took Robert a month to convince me to join MonaVie. When I did make the decision to join, it was more than an intellectual or financial decision; I believe my decision was made with direction from above. MonaVie products are truly fantastic. Recently, I was asked which three healthy products I would take with me if I had to leave Earth. I answered with the three things I use on a daily basis, including MonaVie.

"I was in MonaVie for nearly a year-and-a-half before I realized that I was conducting my business the wrong way. I had signed up over 100 people, but there is a huge difference between signing people up and sponsoring them. I fully realized this when I spent some time with MonaVie leaders at corporate-sponsored events. I hope that those reading this will learn from my mistake and understand the difference between sponsoring and merely signing up.

"Brig Hart told us in Japan that people don't care what you know; they want to know that you care. This simple statement had a profound impact on me, and I encourage everyone to remember it. I realized that I had grown my own medical practice by living this principle. My staff and I maintained 110 percent focus on showing our patients that we truly care. We didn't let anyone or anything distract us from that goal, which led to our success.

"I've experienced one unanticipated, yet phenomenal, benefit since joining MonaVie. I've heard others who've excelled in MonaVie mention this as well: The relationships I've developed through MonaVie are absolutely the best friendships I could have ever imagined developing.

"Tim Wilson and Brig and Lita Hart have been unselfish in providing guidance and accessibility. Randy Evans, Scott Falany, and especially Robert and Dawn Lemus and Steve and Linda Kampouroglou exemplify what it means to be extraordinary and tireless leaders. I feel I've well exceeded my allotment of what my daughter would call BFFs (best friends forever). Of course, I could never forget the incredible people that make up my own team, from my wonderful wife Debbie and my great staff to the rest of our hardworking and tireless team of distributors.

"My advice is simple: Believe, take action, and never quit. Always choose to remain happy and grateful because it will keep you in the right state of resonance to attract what you want. This is the magic formula for success in anything you do in life. Most people don't believe or take action; and, if they do, they quit easily. If you just believe, take action, and never quit, you'll be in the top five percent of people in the world. You will achieve all your dreams and more. Be well, and stay healthy!"

The Rexall Edmonton Indy was filled with ups and downs for MonaVie driver Tomas Scheckter, who finished 18th overall. As the green flag dropped, he had a clean start and gained two positions early on. The first of two unfortunate incidents occurred on lap 16 when Scheckter hit a curb and began to slow down. Later, on lap 94, Scheckter spun and made contact with the retaining wall. Although the day didn't turn out the way he would have liked, Scheckter was in good spirits following the race.

"We will go back now and see what we have for Kentucky," Scheckter said. "We will try and keep some of the positive things we learned here, and hopefully we can have a good car for Kentucky."

MonaVie distributor Paul Meehan feels that his life has been extremely blessed by the acai berry. That's why he is giving back to Brazil through what he's calling "MORE Miles 4 MORE Kids."

MORE Miles 4 MORE Kids is Paul's personal fundraising project on behalf of the MORE Project. Paul will ride his bicycle from Washington D.C., to Orlando, Florida, this August. Those who wish to support the MORE Project in this way may do so by sponsoring any mile of Paul's 900-mile journey.

Paul will depart from Washington D.C., August 15, 2009, and will arrive in Orlando on August 21, 2009. Paul's goal is to raise US$50,000 to go directly to the MORE Project (Paul will cover his own expenses during the trip).

MonaVie's Commitment
At Thursday's meeting, distributors heard from a variety of MonaVie corporate representatives. After hearing some inspiring stories from distributors, MonaVie Founder, Chairman, and CEO Dallin A. Larsen praised the new Ruby Executives for their perseverance, commitment, and hard work. In return, Dallin made a commitment to distributors: "MonaVie's corporate staff is not going to quit until we finish what we started. Our vision is to become a $20 billion business!"

MORE Mexico
Dallin also shared with distributors how MonaVie is extending the MORE Project to Mexico. This announcement was made official at MonaVie's grand opening celebration in Mexico on July 11. Called MORE Mexico, Fundación Mexico Unido has partnered with MonaVie to help build schools, support underprivileged teens, and give back to children with disabilities all across Mexico. Giving back is forever ingrained into the MonaVie culture, Dallin said, and is part of the reason why this company is so great.

"MonaVie has improved our health and brought our family together. We just want to make a difference in as many lives as possible, and MonaVie allows us to do that."~Sara Garrett & Leslie Vannucci "Grateful Hearts," Ruby Executives, Memphis, Tenn.

"When you become a product of MonaVie, you become passionate about helping others and sharing the story of MonaVie."~David J. Van Puffelen, Ruby Executive, Chattanooga, Tenn.

MonaVie University Goes Global
Jeff Graham, vice president of product management, encouraged distributors to direct all product questions to MonaVie's product development team by sending an email to productquestions@monavie.com. Most questions will be answered within 24 hours. Meanwhile, Barry Phillips, director of training and development, announced that MonaVie University will become available to each of our current international markets by 2010.

Toward the meeting's end, Founder and Vice Chairman Henry Marsh told distributors that there is a big difference between being proactively productive versus reactively busy. When you are proactively productive you can take control of your life and business.

"A direct selling business like MonaVie goes hand in hand with personal development."~Jaimie Werner, Ruby Executive, Chandler, Ariz.
