Isagenix Announces Newest Millionaire
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The fitness industry is competitive. Personal trainers are consistently contending with others for clients on a daily basis. And, it’s that hit-or-miss income that the trainers often rely upon to survive.
No one knows this better than Heather. The Perth-based trainer and single mother of two was once juggling two jobs, dreading the day her car might break down, or fearing a new bill would appear in her mailbox.
“When I first started with Isagenix in 2007, it was a natural progression as my clients were telling others about the benefits using the products,” explains Heather. “The extra income was appreciated because the personal training income is unpredictable from one week to the next.”
Today with Isagenix, she is part of a supportive and nurturing team, enjoying time freedom and providing a stable future for her children.
“The company changed my life from a personal view,” explains Heather. “You are in a safe environment where you can overcome your fears and grow into the best possible you.”
Ch-ch-changin’!
Heather describes herself as a happy and positive person, but her mother left a legacy of discontent and an unhealthy lifestyle. Heather didn’t want to model that path for her children or for others, but rather took a

SEC Files To Drop Insider-Trading Case On Herbalife
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The Wall Street Journal just reported:
The Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday filed to dismiss insider-trading charges against a man accused of profiting from privileged information tied to Herbalife Ltd.
The SEC had charged Jordan Peixoto, of Toronto, of buying Herbalife options after hearing William Ackman ’s Pershing Square Capital Management LP was planning to make a negative public presentation about the nutritional supplements maker. Mr. Peixoto ultimately ? made $47,100 in profits.
The SEC said it is dismissing the charges because the two men who developed the information and passed it on to Mr. Peixoto aren’t available to testify at the trial, which had been set for March.
According to the agency, Mr. Peixoto was tipped off about Mr. Ackman’s planned comments by Filip Szymik, who learned the information from his roommate and longtime friend Mariusz Adamski, then an analyst with Mr. Ackman’s Pershing Square.
The two men, who were roommates in New York City at the time of the event, have since returned to their native Poland and have indicated they intend to assert their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination if compelled to testify.
Herbalife’s stock dropped 39% in the days following Mr. Ackman’s announcement.
Mr. Szymik, who didn’t trade in Herbalife securities, agreed to a $47,100 civil penalty

For the past five years, Amway has been gathering data on entrepreneurs and what makes them different from other worker bees.
In the recently released 2014 Amway Global Entrepreneurship Report, the Michigan company surveyed more than 40,000 people to gain insight about the state of self-employment around the world. This year’s survey questions explored the connection between education and entrepreneurship.
The report is intended to advance the discussion on entrepreneurship and lead to a deeper understanding of what can be done to encourage and better prepare more people around the world to start businesses of their own, said Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel.
“Entrepreneurs play an important role in growing economies,” said Van Andel in a statement. “They create jobs, encourage competition and help communities grow and flourish. As the business environment has changed through the years, so have the reasons people decide to venture out on their own.”
