LyfeStart International welcomes Tim Baca as a LyfeStart Executive Advisor and Founding Member of The LyfeStart Advisory Board, The LAB.
Passionate about the importance of making a difference in the world, his career in direct sales is a natural extension of his former career as a broadcast journalist.
He says, “LyfeStart is founded on the idea of helping people. It’s at the heart of everything we do, from the mission to end obesity and hunger to the opportunity for business and financial growth. Through LyfeStart, I can help more people achieve their goals. My wife Julie is reaching out to Millennials who are discovering the power of our mission, while starting their own
business at the same time. That’s very exciting.”
Baca cites the importance of LyfeStart’s sound business fundamentals: “the quality and affordability of the products, their outreach to the Hispanic community, and the upcoming launch in Mexico are key,” he says. “One of the first things I noticed was the Spanish on the U.S. product labels. A large part of my organization is in the southwest, so LyfeStart’s bicultural appeal makes a big difference.”
Baca enjoys the opportunity to help create the culture at LyfeStart. “It starts with the openness of the Founders, LyfeStart CEO Christopher Pair Garza, former CEO and President of Herbalife, and

Global Wealth Trade (GWT) Youngest Millionaire, Rene Liaw reaches $100,000/month income with less than 7000 Luxury Consultants (distributors).
In a recent interview with Rene Liaw we asked him to share a few words with this monumental achievement.
“I owe my life and success to the CEO, Visionary, and Founder of Global Wealth Trade (GWT) Mr. Ramin Mesgarlou. For once in the world of direct selling/MLM, you have a company whose products literally can not be found in any other direct selling company, but more importantly, can not be found in any retail store, designer or luxury mall in the world! And this is what makes the GWT opportunity a TRUE business opportunity that has longevity and stable residual income. It took me only 11 months to reach $20,000/month with less than a 1000 LCs in my team, this is UNREAL. I than fired my boss at Telus and started promoting my GWT VDM FULL TIME. That was in 2009 and I have been earning serious six-figure incomes every year with my GWT VDM since.”

Dallin Larsen’s Retirement Letter
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In January of 2005, Karree and I, along with Randy, Henry and a handful of distributors launched MonaVie. It’s been almost ten years since that fateful day in Salt Lake City, Utah that would prove to be the genesis for perhaps the greatest decade of network marketing success ever achieved by a single company. We shattered records but more importantly, people’s lives were changed all over the world, physically, emotionally, financially and yes, spiritually. Not the least of which were mine and Karree’s.
The MORE Project was born and still today and hopefully for decades to come, the children will continue to be blessed in the favelas of Brazil, thanks to MonaVie and each of us and of course, to Sergio and Sylvia. No words can adequately convey the depth of feeling and gratitude that Karree and I have in our hearts for the MonaVie family nor will time erase the fond memories we feel for each of you whom we’ve had the privilege of serving. We are simply better, because of you and your goodness.
With Mauricio Bellora now on board as CEO of MonaVie, I believe that MonaVie can absolutely create greater success in the future than we’ve seen in

During the Closing Ceremony at Fort Mason, Kristin Crosland, a breast cancer survivor and first time Avon Walker, shared her breast cancer journey with fellow walkers, volunteers, family and friends. “My 18-month breast cancer journey has had its Lifetime Television for Women melodrama moments.
I have late stage disease, I received a quick death sentence from my first doctor, battled a life threatening blood clot, and have endured the heartache of some pretty dicey CT scans,” Crosland shared. “But I have come to realize that despite all of this, I am one of the fortunate ones. I have received first rate medical care. I have the love and support of so many people from near and far. And this weekend, I
