Often “newbies” have the question / objection “Why should I attend a convention, it cost time and money”.
The reason is simple, we at Business From Home do not know any MLM, Network Marketing / Direct Selling professional or Top Earner who reached the top ranks without attending conventions.
My own first convention in 1993 in the USA, New Orleans (I was flying in from the Netherlands) blow me away. “Wow 6,000 people all with the same dream, I was not the only one!”
You want to see / meet leadership both from the field as the corporate executives, you need the positive ambiance to strenghten your belief system, you want to meet succesfull people, hear the stories from other distributors. You will come back with a much better understanding of the company, its products and the business model.
You will have a great time at your convention, and time will fly by fast.
But don’t just go there to “see how it is” or to “check things out.”
You invested good money and time away from your family to be at the convention, so make sure you maximize the experience and get as much from it as you can.

Forever Green – FG Xpress Releases Happy Valley
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
As ForeverGreen patiently waited for its time to come, we made a promise to never waver from our identity. Performing random acts of kindness, big or small, has always been at the core of our business model.
Just a few years ago, Ron Williams discovered there was an epidemic in the community in which he lived. Even though youth and young adults were dropping like flies, exceeding the number of car accident deaths, no one was talking about it. Happy Valley became not only a personal community stand for Ron, but for the entire ForeverGreen family.
He immediately enlisted the services of Craig Smith, Dan Barnett, Ally King, and Tomoko Tatematsu, and Happy Valley the movie became a passionate labor of love. Although it was funded by Ron, one hundred percent of proceeds from the film went to help people who wanted to take on their addictive behaviors.
Ron Williams, Director of Happy Valley said, “Somewhere deep in my soul, I felt that this project would not only help tens of thousands of people, but it would authentically demonstrate who we are at ForeverGreen.”

by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Kirby McInerney LLP is investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of Medifast, Inc. (“Medifast” or the “Company”) MED, -0.36% concerning the improper compensation of the Company’s executives.
Medifast’s key executive compensation increased drastically from approximately $2.12 million in 2012 to approximately $12.11 million in 2013.
