Vemma continues to see growth and excitement in Hawaii and what better way to support the nutritional needs of the Aloha State than to open a new distribution center in Honolulu?
With the new Vemma Hawaii distribution center, distributors can enjoy quick and convenient delivery within 2 to 3 business days. Oahu residents can also take advantage of a Will Call option and pick up their orders rather than waiting for delivery. This marks the growth that Vemma continues to see in the U.S. Hawaii, a virtually untapped marketplace for network marketing, is benefiting from the efforts from Vemma distributors.

Wake Up Now Introduces New Products, Stock Doubles In Single Day
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
After closing out a successful conference in Salt Lake City, Wake Up Now continued to see results when their stock doubled in a single day, going from 1.50/Share to 3.00/share, a 100% increase. Their stocks have been mostly up and down over the past year and their growth seemed questionable. However, with the recent launch of their new products: WUN fit, a suite of health products that improves body function and helps regulate unwanted fat and build lean muscle as well as new Thunder products, their energy drinks.
Although WUN is coming aboard with a health and wellness menu that many may feel is a saturdated network marketing marketing avenue, they bring a relatively untapped approach: social media and internet marketing, calling themselves a ‘social distribution network’.
About Wake Up Now
WakeUpNow was founded with the vision of helping people save, manage, and make money. Kirby Cochran, Jason Elrod, and Phil Polich have been business partners for years; but in WakeUpNow, they saw an opportunity to create something unique.

Herbalife About To Settle Class-Action Lawsuit
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Herbalife is close to reaching a settlement with five former distributors who claim the controversial nutritional products company is running a pyramid scheme that has victimized thousands.
Lawyers for both sides told California federal judge Beverly O’Connell last month that “the parties have tentatively agreed on the principal terms of a settlement,” according to court papers.
The parties asked for an extension of several pretrial filing dates, saying they needed more time to finalize a deal.
The suit was brought by California resident Dana Bostick in April 2013, less than four months after hedge fund activist Bill Ackman called Herbalife a fraud and placed a $1 billion short bet on the shares.
In June, four new plaintiffs joined the proposed class-action suit against the Los Angeles company.
Both sides declined to comment on the talks or the amount of the potential settlement under discussion.
Herbalife, which is under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and other regulators, has denied the allegations and earlier said the suit had no merit.
But it now appears willing to accept a class-wide settlement to put a cap on its liability, sources told The Post.
The class would cover about 1.5 million people — those who joined in the US after 2009 to the present, excluding

Avon, Dissatisfied, Withdraws From DSA
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In a press release dated September 12th, Avon stated they were withdrawing from the DSA because of their dissatisfaction with the organizations direction. They sent a letter, addressed to “U.S. direct selling colleagues”, which shares their decision was driven by two key issues:
1. They believe the DSA’s agenda in the U.S. is overly focused on issues of a few specific brands rather than industry-wide challenges.
2. They believe that the U.S. DSA Code of Ethics requires updating to better reflect the current state of the industry in the U.S.
Avon is not exiting the World Federation of Direct Selling Associations, local market DSAs, or other direct selling trade organization outside of the United States (many of which they are founding members of). They believe these associations play an important role for Avon. Avon continued to share that there are three major aspects of their business model that they believe further safeguards their representatives and consumers.
1. The Avon business model does not rely on nor does it encourage sales of inventory, training or business support materials between representatives. The core of their model is retailing.
2. Avon has reasonable return policies and representatives are not left holding excess inventory.
3. Avon limits earnings to three generations. They do

Visalus 2 Star Ambassador’s, Dallas And Wendy Gareau, Earn 500k In Lifetime Earnings
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Dallas and Wendy Gareau accepted the PROJECT 10™ Challenge in 2011 because they wanted to lose weight and feel better—but what resulted was much more than a health transformation.
In 2014, the couple broke more than $500K in lifetime earnings. It’s a milestone that marks an impressive achievement, as they’re driven by more than monetary rewards.
“We never started promoting The Challenge for money or to build a business,” says Dallas. “We only started because we wanted to see if our 90-day Challenge and drinking the Vi-Shape® Shake would work for us.”
Dallas has dropped 46 lbs. and Wendy has shed 30 lbs.* since starting their Challenge. This incredible transformation inspired them to share their story with every person they could.
“With zero to minimal experience, we built an entirely organic business,” stated Wendy. “We have been blessed so abundantly, and we want to pay it forward.”
Prosperity for Others
“The biggest reward promoting Vi is working with others and knowing our own success is revealed through helping those we care about,” says Wendy.
In fact, she has helped her sister and uncle lose more than 200 lbs. collectively* and gain financial freedom by introducing them to the same PROJECT 10 Challenge that changed her own life.

Who Are The Next Millionaires?
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
After the crash of 2001, many people felt they missed their chance to be part of the boom of the 1990s. Yet, in the four years following 9/11, U.S. household wealth has increased by an incredible $8 trillion to $48 trillion—an additional 20 percent! As of this writing, census figures are not yet compiled to verify this figure, but I would project conservatively that in the same period, we added at least another one million new millionaires.
And that millionaire population explosion is still happening.
Today, the U.S. and the world economy look almost identical to how they looked in 1991, except that there are more opportunities for entrepreneurs due to recent changes in taxation and technology. Based on this history and current conditions, I forecast that U.S. household wealth will again double to $100 trillion by 2016—and that over the same ten years, the exploding U.S. economy will create at least ten million new millionaires.
For those of you in the direct selling industry, this is incredibly good news. Why? Because a significant, good number of those new ten million millionaires are the people who are entering your businesses at this very moment.
American economist and NY Times best-selling author, Paul Zane Pilzer, shares these words

Avon Continues To Struggle After CFO Resigns
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Avon’s stock is falling Tuesday after its chief financial officer resigned to take a CFO job in another industry.
Late Monday Avon Products Inc., which has struggled to turn around its business, said that Kimberly Ross’ resignation is effective on Oct. 2. Avon’s vice president and corporate controller, Robert Loughran, will be interim CFO while the New York company searches for a permanent replacement.
Avon is the world’s biggest direct seller of cosmetics, but its sales have been steadily declining. The company has reduced costs, cut thousands of jobs and left unprofitable markets to try to improve its business.
Ross, who joined Avon in 2011, leaves big shoes to fill, said Wendy Nicholson of Citi Investment Research in a client note. Ross helped sell jewelry company Silpada, exit weak markets and refinance the balance sheet, Nicholson said. But Avon still has a lot of work to do in its turnaround plan, she said, and that’s a problem as it may take a while to hire a new CFO.
“Avon’s overhead costs seem still way too high, its internal controls/systems are still weak, its cash flow is still depressed and too many markets are still in disarray,” she wrote.
The analyst cut Avon’s rating to “Neutral”
