Top CEO Jeff Olson: Goal Setting Matters In Network Marketing!
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Jeff Olson is the Founder and CEO of Nerium International, author of the bestselling book, The Slight Edge, and owner of Live Happy magazine.
This is what he had to say about goal setting:
“My advice for the new year is to set your goals — right off the bat”
Goals are the gateway to living your dreams. Why wait? These six principles are essential for successful goal setting:
Write It Down:
Whether your goal is to lose 25 pounds or make $100,000 a year — by writing down your goals you’re saying “no” to unnecessary distractions and “yes” to focusing on what matters most. Setting clear, measurable goals will help you see your way forward. Writing down your goals and posting them where you can see them every day becomes motivation for you to reach the end.
Be Specific:
Just writing down, “I want to lose weight,” is not specific enough — but committing to losing 10 pounds over 30 days gives you a clear and realistic objective to work toward. Clear objectives will also make it easier to see pitfalls in your plan and will help you recognize the right choices from the wrong ones. If my goal is to lose 25 pounds in three months, eating a donut a day may

Zija International is thrilled to announce the company’s Founder, Ken Brailsford, will be resuming his position as Chief Executive Officer.
After taking time to grow several of his other businesses, he is eager to work alongside Zija President, Ryan Palmer, to achieve goals set in place by Ryan and the executive team.
“I’m looking forward to being in a more hands-on role for a company that I feel so passionately about,”
Ken said.
“Because of Ryan’s guidance, Zija has been able to maintain consistent and sustainable growth and I’m excited to see where we can take the company working alongside one another.”
Long before Zija became a household name, Ken had already successfully started and run two multi-million-dollar health and nutrition network marketing companies. After learning of Moringa oleifera in 2005, Ken came out of retirement and founded Zija International—one of the first companies to bring Moringa to market.
Ken’s love for the network marketing industry stems from the desire to help others obtain a life they’ve always dreamed of—what Zija has coined, a Life Unlimited. His companies have supplied hundreds of thousands of individuals with income, products, and relationships that wouldn’t have been possible otherwise.

Ex CEO Max International Pleads Guilty To Tax Evasion
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
According to an article in the Deseret News:
The former CEO of a Utah-based nutrition supplement company pleaded guilty Thursday to tax evasion.
Peter Nordberg, 61, was indicted by a federal grand jury in January with two counts of attempted income tax evasion, each carrying a statutory minimum sentence of five years in prison. He pleaded guilty to one of the counts Thursday, admitting to not paying $275,790 in taxes over two years.
The second count will be dismissed at a sentencing hearing Nov. 30, according to court documents.
Between September 2007 and December 2011, Nordberg served as the chief executive officer of Max International, a Utah-based multilevel marketing company that manufactures and sells nutritional supplements.
In addition to his annual salary of $331,336 in 2009, Nordberg received a portion of the company’s commissions as a bonus, bringing his income to $822,647, according to the indictment.
Federal prosecutors say Nordberg, a Draper resident at the time, set up a limited liability company in Delaware under the name MAX MLM Partners and had his bonuses deposited into an associated bank account. Nordberg directed employees at Max International to report the money as non-employee compensation.
Nordberg did not report the bonus income on his taxes, according to the indictment,
