In 2005, Rick Jerrells was a top earner in another company and he was building relationships that would shape his future in Valentus.
Rick, Valentus CEO Dave Jordan and Valentus Blue Diamond Korey Johnson were three of the top earners in the company. Rick was impressed with the work ethic of both Dave and Korey, so when Dave asked Rick to join Valentus in 2014, Rick immediately jumped on board.
“I knew Dave had a lot of good connections and he was a great marketer, so I was excited to work with him,” Rick says. But beyond his experience with Dave, Rick’s experience in network marketing had laid a foundation for what he knew to look for in a direct sales company. His No. 1 requirement was simplicity.
“The business needs to be simple when you are running a home-based business,” Rick says.
The sampling program showcases the simplicity. Instead of asking someone to spend money on a product, people can sample the product and experience the benefits for themselves as well as taste the deliciousness. “The ease of the business makes it unique and much easier than a pill-or-potion type of company,” he says.

Ambassador Dennis Estes describes in his own words what Zija’s Natural Health Revolution means to him.
Why did you get started with Zija International?
After spending 25 years working for the same company, the time came to move on. Having 37+ years of experience in the networking profession, I knew there was certain criteria for my next opportunity and four key elements of a company emerged:
1) it had to be a company with an infrastructure in place to be a legacy company;
2) the owner had to have heart, compassion and a vision for the future;
3) it had to be a good opportunity for inexperienced and seasoned distributors alike;
4) the product had to be impactful and have the potential to help change people’s lives. With Zija we found all of that and more.

Ambassadors Of Network Marketing – Hall Of Fame 2018
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
There is a group of international servant leaders promoting the Network Marketing – Direct Selling Industry in a generic way.
They are active on social media, speakers at generic conventions or serve through international organisations such as the DSA or WFDSA.
Servant leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world.
Ambassadors of Network Marketing can be trainers/ authors, corporate leaders or distributors being instrumental to the Direct Selling Industry.
A network marketing servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong.
While traditional leadership generally involves the accumulation and exercise of power by one at the “top,” servant leadership is different.
The Network marketing servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible.
A new Ambassador Of Network Marketing has to be nominated by at least 2 present Ambassadors from different companies.
“With gratitude for your leadership, contribution and service
in elevating the network marketing profession”

Interview With Igor E. Alberts And Andreea Cimbala – OneLife Millionaires
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Backed by a large and dynamic team of 300,000 distributors, this couple from the Netherlands has become, probably, the most powerful union in the industry at the moment with earnings up to $2.4 million per month.
Together or separately, they are leaders who have gained the admiration of many people for two simple things: one is their tireless work and never-ending energy, the other is one of the most successful training systems so far, evident both in the leadership development in their team, as well as their high level of duplication.
Igor and Andreea are the founders of the SUCCESS4ALL team, which, as its name implies, has been creating success stories on almost every continent of the planet.
And the couple seems to have travelled to almost every corner of the planet, for one reason or another, during this year. I asked them if they remembered all the places they have visited during 2017.
“We spent last Christmas at home, and the first events of the year were in Amsterdam, but shortly after we started travelling non-stop until now,” says Andreea.
It was just at the end of December last year when Igor and Andreea boasted the first big turnover that placed them among the first

Ivan and Michelle Mark From Trinidad And Tobago Achieve Diamond Rank At OneLife
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
This couple resides in the Caribbean – Trinidad and Tobago. They are part of the OneLife’s extensive and successful Success4All team and also represent the momentum both of the opportunity and the team in the Caribbean.
Although these two leaders have a short experience in the network marketing business, both come from the world of finance and have connected immediately with the vision of the company.
The success story of Ivan and Michelle Mark doesn’t begin the day they decided to join the network marketing industry, but the day when destiny led them to meet each other. Special thanks to Michelle’s aunt, who knew that together, these two people would make up a perfect team, so she arranged a meeting where any doubt would be dispelled.
Curiously enough, that day when the Ivan and Michelle found each other by coincidence was when Jamaat al Muslimeen attempted a coup d’etat. If there exists any kind of luck or destiny, we can say that the couple were particularly lucky as the place where Ivan worked at that time was partially destroyed by a bomb.It is a story that they will surely tell their children and grandchildren: how chance or destiny saved their lives, brought them together and

Why did you join Zija International?
Honestly, I joined Zija because my health was in trouble. Someone reached out to me and said they had something I might be interested in. In that meeting, I was introduced to Tom Waggoner. Once I met Tom, I realized that Zija as a company and opportunity must be special to have Tom be a part of it. In an instant, my journey began.

Who is behind/leading the company?
Is it structured well, and do the products work and are they high quality
Do they have great leadership in place?

Melanie Abernathy Earns 4th Pink Cadillac At Mary Kay
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
If first impressions matter as much as conventional wisdom suggests, Melanie Abernathy knows how to show up in style.
The Mount Holly (North Carolina) woman has been driving around Gaston County for years in pearl-tinted pink Cadillacs. On Tuesday, she and her husband, Jeff, pulled the pink covers off her fourth such machine at McKenney Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC in Lowell.
She then enthusiastically climbed inside the 2018 Cadillac XT5 SUV, stood so she popped out its sunroof, and posed for photos with members of her Mary Kay family.
“It’s just a great perk of doing a good job,” said Abernathy, a senior sales director for Mary Kay who oversees a team of 105 salespeople.
The company cars are rewards for reaching sales goals. Over her 27 years working for Mary Kay, Abernathy has driven 11 different signature pink cars, including BMWs and Pontiacs – all leased by the cosmetics giant.
“I have not had a car payment in 16 years,” Abernathy said.
The Cadillacs, she said, are the “trophy on wheels” of Mary Kay cars. In order to qualify, her team has to sell $34,000 in skincare products for six consecutive months. Every two years, the company reassess.
The other team members don’t get luxury vehicles,
