Message from Joe Lasher

Team,

I'm seeing GREAT activity company wide. You should all be receiving emails from the home office. Taste n Tells are starting back up. Distributors are making the switch from Bronze to Silver and Silver to Gold. Guys, it's happening.

Some folks have asked me "when do I believe the best time to get started REALLY will be"....folks, it's NOW. Our home based business start up costs are low ($398); our monthly over head is low ($50 and our customers can cover that); and our product is ALWAYS in demand (food). I know that we are hearing words like "recession" and even "depression" more often than we like. ALL of us have been affected by the current state of the economy. But I truly believe, once our new President is sworn in, that we will experience a new level of consumer confidence, at least for the first half of 2009. Banks call it a "honeymoon" period. It will be more of an attitude change than anything. When that happens, it will spur further growth for Menage Innovations.

I sincerely hope that those of you who are local to the WNC area will plan to come to one of our Team Meetings this coming week. Huey Maltry and I, along with Mike and Angie forester will be at the Sagebrush Restaurant in Brevard on Monday, 6:00 PM. We'll have some food and discuss the business. We'll be back in Weaverville NC at 6:30 PM on Tuesday at the M7 Realty Office at 55 N. Main Street. All this info is on www.moneywhileyoueat.com/upcoming. For those of you that are not local to our area, please stay in touch with your Sponsor and Sponsors, stay in touch with these folks. Webinars are happening frequently. At the rate of company growth that we are seeing, there will be events close to you soon!

Stay connected and move forward with us.

Joe

Congrats are in Order!!

I wanted to be one of the first to congratulate Danny Wimprine, of New Orleans, for going Silver earlier this morning. The State of Louisiana is wide open and it starts this coming Friday night at our first major event inside the City of New Orleans.

This Economy and how it relates to this business......

The majority of people, no matter what part of the country you are in, are being affected by the downturn. Pride is the biggest killer in this business! Some people are not willing to swallow the pride and try MLM. Myself on the other hand, show me a way to make money(as long as it is legal!) and I will give it a shot if the timing is right in my life. Here is what I am getting at. As 401k's continue to drop, as small, medium and major size companies continue to put on hiring freeze's and eliminate raises across the board, people are going to hit that point where they have no choice but to "at least look at it".
This is not for everybody, we all know that but the majority of people know the money at stake here. I have seen out in the field that 70 percent of the people I have come in contact with have tried Networking before. If you strive to work this business the entire year and stay the course, you will be rewarded. You have to set up appointments and show the plan on a consistent basis to grow. "Rome wasn't built in a day" and the same goes for this. You have to set goals and not get off track. End of story.

p.s. The Charleston, SC(specifically Johns Island) market was opened up today by Venecia Willoughby in Asheville, NC!! What a great Menage territory this is going to be. Have a great weekend.

Menage Innovations Leader Board

Hello Team Menage! What a great year we had as a company in ’08. Thank you all for a great finish in December. Menage had a record breaking month of sales in December in Gourmet Food. While other companies both conventional and especially network marketing saw tremendous drops in December and fourth quarter sales, Menage Innovations posted record numbers and growth. The food is both unique and powerful in the market place and is proving every month to be tremendous in network marketing through Menage. Continue to grow your team and sales in ’09.


SILVER

Vincent Tillis has been gaining on the number 1 position at Silver and finally clinched the top spot in December. Great job Vincent on #1 and for hitting the Silver Double. Rochelle Massey was number #2 completing the month just behind Vincent. Jon Carroll slipped out of the number 1 spot to #3 in December but continues to show consistent growth each month. James “Skipper” Ertle ended #4 showing each month how consistency pays off. David Carlson rounded out the top group at #5.


GOLD

Mary Lynn McPherson and Alan Silverblatt (MLA) were the #1 Golds for another month. MLA is pushing hard growing a great business and is in the hunt for top money earner honors for the year. Sam Kelly (SSR) finished in 2nd place for the month. Congrats are in order for Sam, Sid, and Rose for their leadership and team building in ’08. Jack Gadd was #3 among all Golds. Tim Kuhlman ended the month #4 and has been consistent throughout the year among all leaders. The ever steady Chuck Dalton finished #5 and has been in the top five all year. Great job guys.


PLATINUM

No shock here, Jack Gadd continues month in and out to run away with the #1 position. Sam Kelly finished 2nd among Platinums and is going to give Jack a strong contest in ’09.

Lynn Grantland and Ronnie Cottrell rounded out the top for Platinum leaders.

Once again, Mark Carroll, and I want to congratulate you and thank you for the great year. We are looking forward to an even better ’09 for both the company and you and your teams.

Keep up the great work.

Your Families Future and Menage Innovations

Menage Innovations 2009

Team,

I want to remind you of what a special opportunity that we still have through Menage Innovations. I was on the phone with Mark Younger and asked him how the company was doing. Of course, there was a lull of overall activity during the Holidays, but "the workers kept on working" and there was company growth. He also has said that "everyone that's in now could become millionaires and has opportunity that just won't be there when we start to reach saturation, which will be years from now". Do you believe it? Do you truly believe that Menage Innovations can make you that kind of money? I do..... But, I also understand that it can be hard to believe when everything else in the world seems so bleak. Menage can do this for you but YOU MUST be persistent at a few things.....

You MUST show the plan daily....become proficient at it and SHARE it with everyone you know. Don't be afraid or embarrassed by it. I've seen professionals that I know working at Fast Food joints to try to make ends meet....nothing wrong with that, but would you rather take someone's order at the drive through window for $7 per hour or would you rather show someone Menage and earn Fast Start Bonus, Residual Income and more?

You MUST stay connected....Attend Meetings and webinars, FREQUENTLY. If you do not make an effort to stay connected to the group, then you will not have the necessary "fire" to keep you going. By staying connected to the group, you can learn from other people's experiences as well as share your own so they can learn from you. There is an absolute overwhelming amount of support involved with Menage. If you don't believe it, then you're not taking advantage of it.

You MUST share the product with people through Taste n Tell dinners at your home, or friends homes, in order to grow this business. This is essential to gaining team members as well as customers. Folks, one of the FIRST things that you should have done is order food and schedule a taste n tell at your home with friends and neighbors. Remember, ONE customer can cover your PBV for the month, making your business overhead $0 monthly.

There are a few of our team members that have had to cancel their Autoship. I want you to remember, just because you are off autoship DOES NOT mean that you are out of the company and that you have no opportunity with Menage. Guys, you should FIRST AND FOREMOST, look for a customer that will order and cover that over head for you. Second, KEEP SHOWING the plan. When you have a team member join you, use that Fast Start Money to cover your autoshipment for the next few months.

So sorry for the lengthy email, but when it comes to Menage, I have so much to say. I started working with the Menage in April of '08. There are currently 80 Distributors on my team.....YOU are one of them. I appreciate you greatly and will do whatever I can to make our business a success, including meetings, webinars, taste n tells, and more. I'm asking that you do the same....go out of your way to introduce this special opportunity to everyone you come into contact with. No one will be offended or upset at you if you show them the plan.....if you deny them the opportunity by NOT showing them is when they might be upset.

Thanks for your continued hard work! I look forward to making it big with all of you!

Best regards,

Creating Wealth with Taste n Tells

Creating Wealth Through Taste and Tells



December is the perfect month to host a Taste and Tell home party for your Menage business. Prospects are in the mode of attending Christmas parties and are looking for social events that will be fun and not be expensive.

Menage Innovations offers a unique and exciting way to build a profitable business through the Taste and Tell program. With food as a focal point in our lives for most business functions and social gatherings, especially at Christmas time, Menage’s Delicious Gourmet Food is the perfect product for any occasion and home party. Simply invite prospective team members and customers to attend your Taste and Tell home party. Prepare your favorite Ménage Gourmet Food items with your special touch and favorite recipes. Let the group “Taste” the wonderful gourmet food and “Tell” them about the products and business opportunity.

In addition, you can plan your Taste and Tells as stand alone home parties or in conjunction with your favorite sporting events. If the Taste and Tell is planned around a sporting event, begin one hour before the sporting event is set to start. The SEC, ACC, and Big 12 Championship games will provide a great opportunity to bring prospects and reps together. The bowl games will also provide great opportunities to host fun and exciting Taste and Tells. Everyone will have a chance to sample the great gourmet food and hear about the products and business opportunity before the sporting event begins. The pulled pork BBQ and Memphis Style Ribs will go a long way with several guests at the Taste and Tells. The Spiral Ham and appetizers will also feed a large group of people.

The top Menage money earners are personally hosting or helping their teams host Taste and Tells. The most effective way to close a prospect and bring them onto the team is to show the plan “two on one” with you and your sponsor prior to inviting the prospect to the Taste and Tell. Because they have already seen the business presentation and are familiar with what we do, the Taste and Tell experience drives home the fun, food, great social time, and income that can be earned. The Taste and Tells create an atmosphere and experience unlike any other company that they may have ever experienced.

Work with your upline and plan your personal Taste and Tell today and watch your income grow.

Lets Go Silver

Team,

Mark unveiled an exciting increase in promotions and payments available to all SILVER distributors. I want to list those out for you from current benefit, current promotion, and new promotion. Those of you that are Silver can look forward to all of this NOW. Those of you that are working toward Silver, this should motivate you to move hard and fast toward that goal.

Current Silver Benefit:
1: $50 Coded $ to UNLIMITED depths (50/10/5/2.5) **if that confuses you, please get with your SPONSOR today and ask for some basic training****

2: 4 Distributors in your Silver line (whether you put them in or not) qualifies you for one share of the companywide .50 cent product pool. **again, basic training is required immediately if that confuses you**

Current Silver Promotion:
SIX (6) new distributors in your Silver line in 1 month and the company retro's back and turns those $50's into $65's.

NEW SILVER PROMOTION:
TEN (10) new distributors in your Silver line in 1 month and the company retro's back and turns the $50's/$65's into $100's. That's $1000 in the month and YOU PERSONALLY do not have to sponsor one person. Anyone in your Silver line that throws you $50 when they recruit a new team member can make that money for you.

I asked Mark Younger on the phone last night if this was a "Desperate Move" by the company to jump start Reps. He said, "Joe, this is a sign of company strength. We've grown almost 30% since we made the changes to start up costs. We're taking profits that we're making and throwing back to the field and we'll continue to do so until we all make it big.". I believe him.

I hope this email will be inspirational to those of us that have already achieved the Silver level. Let's get on the phone and contact our Bronze Distributors and ask "HOW CAN I HELP YOU"... For those of you that are Bronze and want to move to Silver Quickly....it starts with your three front line....USE YOUR UPLINE, INCLUDING ME, to get that team started. Then HELP those three find one each....BAM, you'll be Silver and will start to enjoy the coded money and the other promotions.

What's the key to all of this? Show the plan daily and remain confident that you are offering someone a true gift, the gift of opportunity. I believe in you all!

Thanks for all you do!

Pick Up Orders

Pickup Orders at Menage Innovations

Menage Innovations is proud to provide the pickup service to local reps to be able to pick up products at the home office. However, we often have products that go unclaimed and are left sitting in our pick up area through the week. Gourmet Food products must be picked up no later than 3pm on Friday of each week or they will be discarded and not replaced or refunded. Distributors need to make arrangements to have their products picked up or shipped if they know that they will not be able to pick them up.
The USDA will not permit the return of a food product to the food plant once it leaves the premises. Further, we have no freezer space at the Menage home office to store product.

Thank you for your understanding and hard work.

A Message from Menage Innovations

Memphis, Tennessee

I just took the below quote of 247wallstreet.com:

The unemployment rate was 6.1% in September. In the deep recession of 1973/1974, the unemployment rate reached almost 9%. There are currently about 148 million people in the US civilian workforce. If unemployment rises to nearly 10%, another six million or more people would be out of work.


I am sure not the "sharpest knife in the drawer" but I need someone to tell me a better answer, in these hard economic times, than Menage Innovations. What are they going to do. Go get a job in retail. NOT HIRING. For $199/398, they can "shoot" at this all day long. Why are our numbers the best they have ever been starting a new month...why you ask..because people are coming, most don't have a choice. Some people will NEVER do this industry. They think they are "too good" for it or to be blunt, don't believe in themselves enough to fight thru and build it. You don't need that many people! We have just sponsored 37 front level and now have exactly 1,139 reps below us.

Pier One Imports
Talbots
Chico's
Eddie Bauer
Williams Sonoma
Rite Aid
Saks Fifth Avenue

What do all these stores have in common? They are all weighed down with much debt and with retail sales going down, they are all on the brink of disaster.

Show that plan today to someone because there is a very good chance, THEY NEED IT.

Asheville Menage Meeting

Team,
Beginning tomorrow Tuesday 12/2 we will begin conducting our Tuesday night weekly opportunity meetings at the home of Joe and Lesli Meadows The meetings will begin at 6:30. Please be sure to touch base with your team members to encourage them to attend.

Our weekly meeting provides a great opportunity for you to bring your prospective distributors to hear the business opportunity presented as well as for you to learn through repetition and to stay connected.

Below are directions to Joe and Lesli's house.

From 1-26: coming from Hendersonville

Take the Airport Road Exit:
Turn right and go all the way to Hwy 25.
Cross Hwy 25 – straight- onto Hwy 25A
Go approx ¼ mile and turn right onto Weston Go up to crest of hill and over and immediately turn left onto Oak Terrace Go 1 block and turn right onto Weston again Go about ¾ mile- or- after crest of second hill - and turn right into Turnberry Subdivision.
Take the first Left onto Canterbury and keep straight to the end of the culdesac.
We are #16 on the right corner- behind the trees.

Please park at the road so we can get our numerous vehicles in and out.

From Hwy 25 South
Take Mills Gap Rd ( at the KFC) from Hwy 25 – go across Sweeten creek at the light Turn right on Weston at the stop light Turn left into Turnberry subdivision Turn left on Canterbury- 1st road Go to the end and park on the circle.
#16 Canterbury is on the right corner of culdesac.

Things Aren't What They Seem

If the following scenario doesn't apply to you, then consider yourself Lucky during these times.

John and Suzy Public have been "rolling thru" life the past 5 years or so doing just about whatever they want financially in life. A $325,000 Beautiful French Country home and two cars in the driveway (his a new Infiniti sportscar and hers a GMC Suburban to carry their kids off to the private school they attend).

Then his partly commission based job started to be effected by the downturn in the economy and that $2,500-$5,000 Christmas bonus he used every year to pay off his Christmas credit card debt is no longer available. His salary is suffering due to down sales and now they, as a family, wonder how they are going to keep up their lifestyle.

In a perfect world, they would sell their home fast (homes are selling, just not as fast in most areas of the country) and get a little smaller home. Very hard to do right now. Dump off those two cars for used ones (because they are carrying around 1,100/month in two car notes). Hard to do right now in the car arena. So his only option is to make more money.

I know, he can go get a job working retail or something similar. Wait a minute, most companies (including retail) are not hiring as much right now as this time last year. THERE IS A SELECT FEW PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE KIND OF INCOME THAT WILL NOT DO MENAGE, QUITE FRANKLY, THEY DON'T NEED TO. HOWEVER, THE MAJORITY IN MY CITY AND YOURS NEED THE EXTRA INCOME RIGHT NOW. It is your job to show it to them. If they want to pass on it, you are still going to be their friend but at least you threw out the life raft and gave them a chance to grab on.

Working Through the Holidays

Hello Team Menage.

Many people underestimate the power of building a business during the Holidays and assume that very few people would be interested. However, contrary to belief November and December are two key months in the industry. Despite the economy, people are already in a spending mode. Before I experienced this dynamic as a distributor I had trouble understanding. During my first year in networking in 2001 the country had just experienced the tragedy of 9-11 leaving the fall of the stock market and job losses in its wake. Similar to what we are now experiencing with the down economy and contrary to what one might have expected, my business doubled in November over October and doubled again in December. In fact, the largest meeting that I had ever had to date was the Thursday between Christmas and New Years. I did not plan a meeting for that week but the team said they had family in from out of town and wanted me to hold a meeting. That night we had to ask the distributors to go outside so all the guests could have a place to sit. One of the guests that came joined and went on to put in 7000 reps becoming a top money earner in that company.

Second, people are looking for a way to earn additional cash to pay for Christmas. Many people must come to grips with their income and household expenses each Christmas. At no other time of year is cash flow on the forefront of people’s lives than the Holidays. Before networking rescued me, I would find myself going deeper and deeper into debt each Christmas with credit cards. I would charge Christmas and hope to have it paid off by the next Christmas. Many people are out there just like me looking for a financial solution. Therefore, show the business to as many people as you can and give them a way to earn additional cash to go towards Christmas and debt.

Third, people are looking ahead to year end tax debt. More and more people are becoming savvy to tax write offs and tax credits. Share with them the benefits of owning their own home based business. The expense of the business ($398 or $199) is a tax credit and any expense used to run their business can be deducted. For example, any business related expenses such as meals, mileage or gas, hotel, cell phone, internet, and a portion of home expenses may be included.

More over, Holiday’s are a wonderful time to share Menage Innovations with new prospects. You will see friends and relatives during Thanksgiving and Christmas that you haven’t seen in a long time. If you are hosting a dinner or party, serve your Menage Gourmet foods for your guests to enjoy. Let them know that the great food is part of your line of products from your new business. Many of your guests will want to know how they can make income from home just like you are. Others may wish to become customers.

Another great business builder is using Menage products as gifts for your friends and family. How many people have you known that became aware of Omaha Steaks from a gift? Many became customers and later sent someone else a gift from Omaha Steaks. Take the same approach and give or send your Christmas list recipients a gift from Menage along with product brochures and your online store website. Teach your team to do the same thing and watch your business grow.

When you mail out your Christmas cards this year be sure to include information about your new online business. A simple note or PS at the end of your message with your website address will peak their interest. Offer them the promo code if you wish giving them $10 off the retail price to further increase their curiosity. Include a flyer or brochure promoting your business and products. A simple way is to copy the front page of your online store showing the Holiday ham. Be creative and share your ideas with your team. If you have an idea you would like to share with everyone please email distributor services.

Keep in mind that prospecting and building is like sowing seeds. You can’t just plant one corn kernel and expect it to grow an entire field of corn. Sow as many seeds as you can. Also, the corn doesn’t come up over night and produce a rich harvest. The corn seed must be cared for throughout the long process. The young plant must be fertilized, watered, protected from weeds, birds, bugs, etc. Likewise, many of the seeds you are sowing through the Holidays will be harvested in January and February.

Take advantage of the Fast Starts, the Silver Bonus after 6 equaling $65 each, the Silver in 6 promotions, and the Pool money.

By the way, the Southern Pecan Pie will create a “WOW factor” at every Holiday meal!

Have a great and prosperous week.

Motivation vs. Inspiration

I was talking with one of our Orlando distributors today. Rick Humphreys reminded me that people either motivate themselves or not. We can only inspire one another. Fear is our major motivator. It will either motivate us to take action or not. Fear of failure keeps people from realizing their potential or it makes us successful. It is no different with Menage.

I am afraid of failure. Going to meetings, doing webinars, calling new suspects, showing the plan and showing my team I care are easy when I consider failure as the alternative. When I have trouble picking up the phone to call a new suspect I remember my fear of failure. I know I will fail 100% if I do not make the call. I know I will fail only 80% if I make the call since two out of ten suspects will become good prospects and ultimately a distributor. This failure rate would make us a millionaire in pro sports.

This failure rate will make us a million a year with Menage.

People need Menage now more than ever. It is amazing to be in a business that is growing while our economy is shrinking. All indications are we are at the right place, at the right time with the right products. The commitment and character of our owners, being debt free, first to MLM in an emerging market with the largest privately owned food broker in America just adds to our ultimate success potential.

I thank God for Menage everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Meeting Update

Hello Team,

We had a fantastic Taste n Tell and presentation last night at The Crest Center in Asheville, NC. If you were there, thank you for staying connected and for bringing guests. If you couldn't make it, you were missed!

REMINDER: NO MWYE Team Meeting next week (Thanksgiving Week). Enjoy the time with your friends and family.

While you're with them, DO NOT HESITATE to mention YOUR Menage business. Mark my words, the majority of conversation in all American households will be the doom and gloom of our economy. What you hold is a bright shining light of opportunity that can break through that muck.....SHARE it people. If they accept it, GREAT. If they don't, it's OK.

Gang, Menage Innovations will grow with or without our participation. It will not grow in conference rooms and webinars, it will grow around dining room tables, around fireplaces, back porches, restaurant booths, etc. Be proud and be confident that you have the power to change lives with this plan.

Hope to see you all very soon and I wish you all the best!

The Gift

Happy FRIDAY!

Just a quick note to let you know that we had a wonderful team meeting in Asheville NC last night. Our guest speaker, Rob Hamilton of the The Speaking Connection, was impressive and thought provoking. He helped our team members truly understand the human connection needed in order to be successful at presenting the Menage Plan. There's no way that I can put into this email the experience that those who attended had. I will give you this......

Today, when you show the plan, present it as if you were giving someone a GIFT that they genuinely need or desire. SHARE the gift with them as if it were the solution to any need that they may have. Find that feeling that you have when you have the perfect birthday, or holiday gift, wrapped and ready to give to a person that you love and put it into your presentation. If you truly believe that you are GIVING someone the chance at a new lifestyle for their family, all the feelings that YOU have of wanting or getting for yourself will go away.

Please re-read what you just read. Muster that feeling of "giving" and you will be on your way to more successful presentations and recruiting. Connect with folks on a human level of wants, needs and desires and you will build your business exponentially.

Thank you to those who were able to attend the meeting in Asheville. Rob was such a success, we will have him back in December for another presentation. Don't forget, you can visit his website at www.thespeakingconnection.com and please, sign up to attend one of his upcoming workshops. You won't regret it.

Hello Team Menage!

As Mark and I looked over the final leader board totals for October it is clear that many of you truely are working for your teams and your family. The company had a great push at the end with numbers soaring to close the month. Team building and product sales rose subtantially during the last 10 days of October. Let's keep up the pace in November to produce much welcomed income for you and our Menage family members.

Many of you have heard me talk in the past about the key to sustaining a productive team and business in Menage. The successful person in Menage must build a strong infrastructure for their business. They must build a strong relationship with their team members and be CONSISTENT.

The system is simple:

**Make a list

**Make calls

**Set appointments

**Show the plan(don't just talk about the opportunity)

**Followup

More specifically, every step builds on the next step of the business. Without a solid foundation a business will be unstable. Many people ask "How do I get a good consistent meeting going each week and keep growing my team?" First, we must examine what people are looking for and what drives them. In the beginning stages of a business before anyone has made a pay check three things get people excited and keep them engaged: thier need (why, destination, financial goal,etc.), their mission(purpose and reason for earning income), and fun(socialization). Pay checks become the driving force in the end, but the first three things keeps a team together before the pay checks role in.

Taking each phase step by step, a new team member must get help from their upline (when possible) to present the plan to their prospects. Most people don't sign up on the spot and that is normal. To help them fully experience the power of the business, the fun and income, a Taste abnd Tell must be in place to immediately bring the prospect to within their first week after having seen the plan. At the Taste and Tell the new prospect will be surrounded by other Menage team members that are foccussed on their goals and team members that are having fun. The new prospect will want to be part of the EXCITEMENT, making additional income and having fun. The concept just makes too much sense.

The Taste and Tell HOME PARTY is the key to massive growth in your business. First, anyone can host friends in their home to try the food and see the plan. It is not feasible to expect a new team member to create a hotel or conference center meeting in the beginning. The new team member's prospects will feel comfortable and relaxed coming over to their house to try some great food and have a GOOD TIME. Keep in mind that "duplication" is the key and anyone can duplicate a Taste and Tell in their home. Second, at a Taste and Tell HOME PARTY the host has the ability to prepare our great gourmet food the way they like with their own specail recipes, sauces, and marinades and spices. Likewise, the Taste and Tell HOME PARTY allows for a great visual presentation of the food. Imagine the prospect entering the relaxed setting of a home smelling the delicious aroma of gourmet food surrounded by happy excited people having fun. Now imagine them seeing the food and then tasting the food. All of the senses will be involved creating the perfect setting to close the deal.

Once a new prospect joins, it is important for their upline to help them host a Taste and Tell in their home. The upline must keep their Taste and Tell in place each week(consistency) but must immediately work to expand to the new team member's home with another Taste and Tell. For example, Mary Lynn McPhereson's team has done a great job with Taste and Tells. Each week now for several months Mary Lynn has consistently hosted a Taste and Tell in her home every Monday night rain or shine. This is her team's home base. She has in turn helped her new team members expand out into their homes hosting numerous Taste and Tells each week. By having her meetings in so many different homes, Mary Lynn's team has continued to rapidly grow because of consistency, duplication, FUN, thus equalling great PAY CHECKS for her and her team members.

Don't misunderstand, large weekly group meetings are also essential and at some point a large conference center is needed to hold all of the team members and guests in one location. Sam Kelly and Chuck Dalton's Germantown meeting is a great example of the next step in the system and is essential. However, they did not get to that point over night and it took many individual presentations and Taste and Tells to reach that point.

The system is a cirle and not necessarily a stair step. You begin one on one or two on one, move to the Taste and Tell, expand to a conference center, and start the week all over with one on one's and two on one's, Taste and Tells, and then once again the conference center meeting. See the cycle.

In the end anyone can work the business as they wish and that is the beauty of being an Independent Distributor. Whatever your style or system, work as often as you can, be consistent, and create something anyone can duplicate. Fun is contagious and great food, socialization, and income are a winning formula.


Have a great week.
