Whew! What a great weekend we just had! As you know, Ruby School was kicked off on this Friday and it was one phenomenal weekend!

This year's Ruby School attendees were treated like royalty as they were welcomed in after a walk down the red carpet. After a grand tour of our Corporate Headquarters and the chance to meet with the entire corporate team, the group got a close glimpse of what goes on in our offices. A panel discussion consisting of our top management team enabled them to learn the inner workings of each department and to ask any questions.  They left Saturday's all-day training with a better knowledge of the TLC system with a better knowledge of what really drives business growth: tools, events, and recognition; as well as a lesson of how to capitalize on the compensation plan. By the end of the weekend, the graduates left with more wisdom and confidence than, stronger friendships and greater goals.

But that's not all that went on this weekend. There were also a couple of MAJOR announcements made during the special President's Call on Friday. If you somehow missed our Double Dollar Days promotion in the last few months, TLC is giving you ONE MORE MONTH to take full advantage of it. There were more people receiving checks, more new Distributors enrolled, and more money paid out to Distributors than EVER before during Double Dollar Days, so it has been extended--but only until November 30, 2007! As Gary always says, "You better get you some!"

The next big announcement was very special to all of us. Luke and Deb Pennucci have become the newest addition to the elite group of Diamonds here at The Limu Company. They joined the company just 2 years ago and instantly became leaders who constantly DUPLICATED themselves over and over again. And within such a short period of time, they've really taken the Limu world by storm. BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Luke and Deb!

I think that sums it up. I wasn't joking when I said it was one PHENOMENAL weekend! Also, Conference is fast approaching--hope you've all bought your tickets already because you're not going to want to miss out on the exciting events we have planned for you there!

Hope everyone had a GREAT weekend! 'Til next time....

As we draw upon the finale of Double Dollar Days, our greatest promotion to date, I am hopeful that most Distributors got a piece of the Double Dollar Days pie.  Double Dollar Days has given everyone a chance to make an incredible difference in their bank accounts.   What a thrill to have been here before DDD started and to still be sitting here now, watching the wonders it's working in so many people's lives.

The percentage of new distributorships and sales volume has increased significantly since the beginning of Double Dollar Days; that's why all those who took advantage of it hate to see it go away. 

Take Laura Lee Freeland and her husband Richard for example.  They enrolled the last week of September and a month later they've sponsored 15 new Distributors!   That's amazing in itself, however, Double Dollar Days makes that twice as nice!  Not to mention, they are on the right track to reach G1 in our Zero to 50 plan which means even more earnings!

Besides the fact that DDD is filling everyone's pockets, it's also providing us with great stories on how TLC is changing lives. Those stories help you as you share the TLC Opportunity ... and makes everyone at the corporate office very thankful to be a part of such a great experience. Like Woodrow Wilson said: "You are not here to merely make a living.  You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement.  You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."

Perhaps many of you have heard this story already, but just in case you haven't, I'm going to put this story out there for you to share. It's always beneficial to have stories circulating in the field for Distributors to use either when meeting with a prospect or finding common ground among friends. One of the most inspiring stories I've heard is about a lady by the name of Jody Riecke.

Jody told her story at our recent Leadership Academy. In her first 3 months in the company, she sponsored no one. Then she learned about Double Dollar Days and in September she sponsored 5 people - all with a 6-Pack and earned thousands of dollars in one month. Jody said, "I made more than my husband, Dean, did that month.  It left no doubt that I needed to be committed to TLC to make my dreams come true, including attending Leadership Academy and listening to President's Calls."  Proving her commitment to TLC, Jody even called in to the President's Call the other day while operating their combine harvester!

Long story short, Jody and Dean are beginning to realize that they can achieve dreams they never before thought possible. The Limu Company enjoys giving people an opportunity to have more freedom...financial freedom, time freedom, whatever freedom means to them. Franklin D. Roosevelt once said, "In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved." Jodie and Dean are like many other Distributors fulfilling their dreams and achieving freedom.

There's still more than a week left of Double Dollar Days...that means you still have a week left to fill your pockets in time for the holidays! Then, you too can share YOUR story of Double Dollar Days success!

With Leadership Academy behind us, there are so many great stories coming in from the field.  Times are good, with many Distributors calling because after attending Leaderhship Academy in Cincinnati, they've been rejuvenated and their commitment is stronger than ever.  Speaking of commitment, Vincent T. Lombardi once said, "The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor."  David and Hilda from Cleveland, North Carolina are great examples of possessing the commitment Mr. Lombardi was talking about. 

Thursday night, October 4th, there was a TLC Business Briefing held in Charlotte, North Carolina, hosted by Raymond & Yolanda from Houston.  David and Hilda attended the briefing Thursday night and were so disappointed they'd have to miss Leadership Academy the next day because they couldn't miss work.  However, much to everyone's amazement, David and Hilda drove 7.5 hours to Cincinnati, Ohio and showed up at Leadership Academy Friday night.  They were bound and determined to make it because they knew that they had to be committed to this wholeheartedly in order to achieve their goals.

Talk about commitment and Distributors who are quickly turning their dreams into reality. If you're always looking for opportunity, opportunity will find you.  You just have to stay focused on your dreams.  In the words of Gary Raser, "If you know your why, you can figure out how."

What a wonderful time had by all at TLC's Leadership Academy. From what I've been told, that was one electrifying event in Cincinnati, Ohio! The corporate office was abuzz with excitement in preparation leading up to the event because so many Distributors have been patiently waiting for this weekend.

The information gleaned from Leadership Academy is always very vital and from what I've learned in the past week, you have an opportunity to really boost your business after going. That's why it's no surprise that there were so many of the same faces from previous years in the crowds yesterday. The top Distributors always say no one should ever pass up the chance to hear and learn from Gary Raser, the best advisor around.

Captain Cook, long regarded as the man who saw the whole world first, and also the man who, according to legend, experienced the recuperative powers of Limu and the Tongans' generosity once said, "I had the ambition to not only go farther than man had gone before, but to go as far as it was possible to go." When you attend events like Leadership Academy, you realize that those same ambitions Captain Cook had, we at The Limu Company have for you as well. I hope to see you all at the next one. I have a feeling it'll just get even bigger!

Until next week...

Victor Hugo said "You can't stop an idea whose time has come."  He must've known about the Double Dollar Days promotion The Limu Company was going to bring into the world over 120 years later.  I know I've been talking about Double Dollar Days a lot lately, but guys, it's a pretty big deal. 

It's so great being a part of a company that is responsible for making such a difference. Take Elvira Cabello for example, from White Plains, NY, one of the many stories floating around here at the TLC offices.  Elvira joined TLC in the middle of August and within 6 weeks, she is well on her way in building a very successful business, having already achieved a Dive this month and working toward her goal of G1 in our Zero to 50 program. With the momentum of the Double Dollar Days, she'll get there in no time.  

These days, the office is also abuzz about TLC Leadership Academy this weekend.  I encourage all of you to accept this exclusive invitation to gain the kind of knowledge in one day that it takes others months or even years to learn.  If you bring prospects to the free TLC Business Briefing Friday night they can enroll and then attend the training on Saturday from Gary J. Raser, the best advisor around!  How can you argue with the fact that on average, active Distributors increase their business by 75% after attending?

The combination of our Double Dollar Days promotion and the TLC Leadership Academy, one of the biggest and most anticipated events TLC offers, is sure to ignite your business and fill your pocket with more money than ever.  And that's a big deal!

It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's a rocket ship!

Ever since Double Dollar Days was introduced, The Limu Company has taken off to new horizons and the amount of new Distributors is out of this world!

Did you know the last week of August was the biggest week and August 31st was the biggest enrollment day we've ever had in our company? And September is shaping up to finish way ahead of August! You know why? Distributors have a new sense of URGENCY! They are URGENTLY trying to reach Dive for Fives, 3-Pack Dives, 6-Pack Dives, and Dive for Threes. Some people earned as much as $2000 in Dive for Five bonuses in addition to regular commissions.

Last month, TLC paid the most shares, the most people, and the most amount of money in the history of our company...plus 40% of Distributors who earned a Dive this month have been enrolled less than 90 days. Yes, Double Dollar Days is working!

There's only a month and a half left to take advantage of this phenomenon called Double Dollar Days. Position yourself now for take-off. Get the most out of Double Dollar Days while you still have the chance. To the moon and back.

This week I decided to do a little research on personal development. After all, that's what this business is about.  I know that anything Gary Raser suggests is a must-read, so i knew where to seek the information I needed to write about this subject: Even Eagles Need a Push by David McNally, Gary's latest recommendation in the LimuNation Monthly.  I got as far as the preface and was already inspired. 

Even Eagles Need a Push is a remarkable read about there being no other single human quality that affects the outcome of our lives more than confidence.  We can only fearlessly follow our dreams if we have confidence--and only then can we tackle our biggest challenges and keep on going.  In order to be successful in this business, in life, in your relationships, in anything, you must have this confidence.  One of the quotes in the book that really jumped out at me is by Bob Dylan.  He said, " A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between does what he wants."  In this business, according to this quote, there are a whole lot of successes in the Limu world.

David McNally, the renowned motivational speaker and distinguished author has just found a new fanatic in me!  He says that "in these wondrous times of change and opportunity, some people are happily riding the momentum of the megatrends, exclaiming with John Naisbitt, 'What a fantastic time to be alive.' But there are many others who agree with Woody Allen's statement: 'Most of the time I don't have much fun, and the rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.'" Wow.  Isn't that the truth?  Fortunately, I feel as though we are the John Naisbitts of the world; that we're happily riding TLC's momentum and just happy to be alive.  With more freedom at our disposal, happiness indeed comes a little easier in this world.

I encourage all of you to take a minute to read a bit of this book in hopes that you find the same inspiration that I found.  And  on days when you're not quite sure if you can soar, give yourself a little push--like the mother eagle does to her offspring.  It's when you learn to fly that you really appreciate life.

Here's to a happy and success-filled day of flight in the world of "Limu-ing"!

“Turn your dreams into goals, your goals into actions, and your actions will fulfill your dreams.”  –L. Ewing Johnson ©1967

I “Googled” motivational quotes for the day and this was the first quote on the page.  How many times have we all heard that before?  If you were at Conference, you would’ve heard it from our Founder and also from our top-income earner in the field.  There’s something about those words that really seem to dig at you. 

If one does not turn their dreams into goals, then their dreams die.  Langston Hughes said “Hold fast to your dreams for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly” – in life, you must turn your dreams into goals in order to achieve results.  One can’t just dream about something; they must plan how they’re going to achieve their dreams.  Then turn those goals into action, because dreams MUST be put into action to receive results.

I overheard a few leaders the other day talking about their success in the past few weeks since the new introductions were made at Conference.  When asked how they did it, they simply agreed that they’re just staying exciting and telling the story.  They never lose sight of their dreams and in one particular instant I recall that they also never stray from their goals.  One woman followed the advice of reaching five people a day and could not sleep at night after only telling the story to four.  She got up at midnight, drove to McDonalds, passed the enhanced Your Ticket to Freedom DualDisc along to an employee, went home, and got a good night’s rest.  Then she received a phone call in the morning wanting to know what this Original Limu™ is all about.

I’m just excited I am lucky enough to be here and to be a part of this company to witness people’s lives changing.  I am so proud of what we’re doing here and what you’re doing out there.  Here’s to the fulfillment of dreams!

With the motivation of our Double Dollar Days promotion, Distributors are “jumping” right in to achieve their Dives this month.  Take for example, the following two stories that have been weighing on my mind today.  What a reason to celebrate!

The first story that comes to mind is of a new Distributor who spends her time as a missionary in El Salvador.  Unfortunately, she has managed to find herself in debt with all of her traveling.  Luckily, she enrolled as a new Distributor 3 weeks ago and has already enrolled 10 people. That’s worth 4 shares during our Double Dollar Days Promotion!  This is the answer she has been looking for.  And to think she heard of us by accident, receiving an email intended for someone else.  God works in mysterious ways, doesn’t He?

The second story came from our Distributor Support team; they are always full of great stories because they hear it right from you – our Distributors.  Well, this story is about an 88 year-old man who enrolled mid-August, right after Conference to be exact.  This man was very excited about our new Business Builder 6-Pack and said he was up for a challenge.  He enrolled someone the first day.  Do you know that within one week he achieved a Dive for Five?  He also sold a 6-Pack.  This gentleman is 88, just started two weeks ago, and now has personally enrolled 6 new Distributors with a great group forming.  Now that’s some exciting news!

Mia Hamm once said, “Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, but then raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed.”  I think she definitely said it best.  I can’t imagine a missionary and an 88-year old man really needing room for more accomplishments in life; I would’ve imagined that there are few things in life more rewarding than helping others and living life to its fullest as they have done.  But what was I thinking?  Raising the bar a little higher each time you succeed calls for real celebration and The Limu Company provides a perfect example of really helping others and being capable of living life to the fullest.  May we all be missionaries in life and may we always be up for a challenge!

Wow! What an eventful weekend we just had!  The Double Dollar Days Tour kicked off to a great start and we are EXCITED around here.  The Double Dollar Days promotion is already a huge hit and Distributors are calling in left and right with success story after success story! 

Luke, Deb, and Andrew reported in from the DDD tour event in Denver and were just beside themselves with excitement for the big day.  Rusty and Steve could barely contain themselves in Philadelphia.  I hope you're all playing the Who Do You Know? game and inviting prospects to all the events because as Steve said in Houston, all you have to do is get them there; these powerhouse speakers will take care of the rest!

We're thrilled with what Double Dollar Days is doing for our Distributors.  We’ve heard from several of our top leaders and everyone has a story to share.  That's what it's all about folks...sharing the story!  Even if you don't yet have a story to share, you can always borrow one; then pretty soon, you'll have one too!

Take Barbara Townsend for example.  Barbara has always concentrated on selling the product.  But now, by taking advantage of DDD and focusing on the opportunity she's already enrolled 12 distributors this month.  She has already reached her 3-pack Dive goal and in the process she's also achieved a Dive for Five and is now working on her 6-pack Dive.  Way to go Barbara!

What a great time in our company to gear towards the opportunity.  Barbara’s business is booming with the Double Dollar Days promotion and yours will too!

Start your cycle of success now by getting on the TLC website.  Find out when the Double Dollar Days Tour is coming near you...and when it's coming near someone you know.  Tell everyone you know about it!  Your potential for success is huge and all you have to do is "just get 'em there”!

If you have a Double Dollar Days story, we'd love to hear from you!  Please contact us at stories@thelimucompany.com.  Be on the lookout for more Distributor Success Stories to come...we've got plenty to tell!

Don't forget to play Who Do You Know?  These events are free they'll help you Double your Dollars FAST!

So I thought that after Conference it would finally slow down a bit, but boy was I wrong!  The excitement felt from Houston is still resonating off the walls here at our Corporate Headquarters.  Monday morning was abuzz with story after story about what an amazing time we all had.  Those here who were unable to attend were entertained by our endless chatter and vision of what we had just experienced.

Bryan and Oscar are burning the phone lines up!  Distributors are astounded at what we’ve just introduced.  Our top income earners said this was the conference with the best introductions thus far.  Between the new 6-Pack Business Builder, the enhanced 3-Pack, the improved Dive for Five, our Zero to 50 in 1.0 plan, and our exciting Double Dollar Days promotion; distributors cannot contain themselves!  Nor can we forget about our For Goodness Sake Initiative!

Now is the time to be involved!  Focus on the compensation.  We’re going to get you where you want to go.  Like Shannon Pardue said, “The good news is nobody’s heard of Original Limu™. Bad news is nobody’s heard of Original Limu™.”  Start talking!  Ask everyone you know if they’ve heard of Original Limu™.  There is no better day than today to be involved in this organization!

So last night I had no trouble writing a blog.  I was so pumped, so excited, just bursting at the seams to tell you all what a phenomenal time we were having in Houston.

Now, I'm at a loss of words.  Few times in life am I ever at a loss of words.  I was, without a doubt, absolutely blown away today at the chemistry I see in the Limu family.  Undeniably, THE best event I've ever been to! 

Guys, I think we all came here expecting a reunion of some sort, but more than that, we got a revival.  What a fabulous way to spend the last 48 hours, busy as a bee, feverishly taking notes because I just can't seem to learn enough from these people; and taking more away than I even brought.  And let me tell you, we brought ALOT.  But we're leaving with more wisdom, more inspiration, and more power than we felt before.

I can't express to you enough how exciting it was to be a part of something so great, so phenomenal, and so real.

The energy!  The fellowship!  The fun!  What an amazing Conference for all first-timers, such as myself, to experience.

But you know what sparked the energy?  The Limu Company's plans for the next few months.

Everything that was unveiled was designed to give you exactly what you need to build your business and put more money in your pocket — FASTER!  New tools, new promotions, new bonuses, new training opportunities--everything you need to reach all your dreams.  Plus, the opportunity to do well by doing good … For Goodness Sake!

You heard it over and over and over today.  The top 3 income earners even said it.  This was a conference of quite possibly the most amazing introductions yet. 

The new introductions can double your income!  Might even triple it!  Or more! Your business can ELEVATE to whole new heights.  You've got 90 days to really step up the pace with the new promotion and the new tour.  I can't express to you enough, now is the time to get serious! Start today.  Start now.

Also, just so you know, we appreciate you not just at Conference, but after it's all said and done, and we've cleaned up as much as we could, packed up what's left, and realize the last few months of planning are gone and it's over; we finally get to dinner where we all praise you again; about what amazing things we're doing in your lives, and the even MORE amazing things you do in ours!

Thank you so much for making my first experience at Conference such a memorable one!  I look forward to January; however, first and foremost, I'm looking forward to these next 90 days!

Where can I even begin?

Guys, most of you might not know, but this is my first rodeo with The Limu Company and I couldn't be more blessed to have started at such a wonderful time!

This whole "Unleashed Lives On" Conference has blown me away.  May the truth be told, I know that until tomorrow, I "ain't seen" nothing yet.  If you're here, you know what today brought.  Tomorrow is going to be even bigger, even better. I'm new to writing the blogs, new to Conference, but I know most of what's in store for YOU guys tomorrow!

I've never experienced such incredible energy before in my life.  It RADIATES off every distributor I have had the pleasure of seeing and meeting today.  There's chanting.  There's cheering.  There's hugging.  There's laughing. There's REJOICING.  The Limu family is alive and kicking here.

We started the day off with the Leaders Meeting; with Rubies and above.  If you've never made it to that room, you better start sharing more Original Limu--that room is where it's at.

After the meeting was over, we held the Company-wide Meeting.  Talk about some fired up people!  Gary talked about the year in review and then he moved people out of their seats when he revealed a little bit of what's to come in the next couple of months.

Then we heard from a very distinguished panel of some of our top corporate team members and honestly, I can't remember the last time I heard such profound things from so many people at once.  If you didn't know it before, these people KNOW what they're doing. BRING IT ON they said.  We have the best; there's no denying that after what I saw and heard tonight!

After dinner, Raymond and Yolanda Brown gave a phenomenal Welcome to Houston, Texas.  What a great energy they put off!  Followed by Shannon and Rachette Pardue, our top income earners; I mean, what an exciting day! They hold great meetings; they REALLY know how to set a crowd on fire!

All I know is that if you weren't here tonight, you were missing out!  And tomorrow, well, tomorrow is a very special day for all of us.  If you're not in Houston, Texas, you better stay tuned. I'm sure everyone has heard the saying that everything is bigger in Texas. Tomorrow, we're bringing a whole new meaning to that.  UNLEASHED really does LIVE ON.

The "Unleashed Lives On" Conference is finally upon us and TLC Headquarters is a beehive of activity and excitement!  If you properly position yourself to act IMMEDIATELY on the dynamite money-making announcements and introductions being made this coming weekend, you will experience an INSTANT EXPLOSION of business! Whether or not you’re coming to Houston, (and I strongly recommend that you do ... Tickets are still available), be sure to mark your calendar to tune in to the special Leaders Call on Sunday night, August 12^th, beginning at 9:00 p.m. EST.  The number is 620.294.4000, code 222219#. Clear your calendar!  Get busy scheduling conference calls and meetings to show your local groups how to IMMEDIATELY capitalize on the introductions from conference!  Start today! START NOW! And if you cannot make it to Houston, at the very least, make it a TOP PRIORITY to read the News section of the TLC website on Saturday night … time is of the essence. We’re Unleashing … AGAIN!

Guest blog from TLC Team Member, Katie Johnston ...

Many have tried their level best to squeeze it out of them but no one's talking.  Our Founder, President, and CEO, Gary J. Raser, and Vice President of Marketing, Andrew Mangeris, can barely contain their excitement about two big secret money-making announcements they’re making at Conference.  Distributors have been nagging and pleading, but they won’t even drop a hint. The best you’d probably get is a frustratingly vague hint from Bryan Noar, our Director of Field Support that sounds something like this … "If our Distributors knew what we know, they'd be working night and day right now to get as many irons in the fire as possible before Conference!" So now’s the time to work like you've never worked before during the next couple of weeks, and be sure you're at Conference to see for yourself what all the excitement is about! If we’re THIS excited about what we’re unveiling, I can only imagine what YOUR excitement will be once you find out. Carpe diem ...  seize the day!

Saturday's event held in Costa Mesa, California marked the end of "The Limu Revolution Tour Marches On.”  All of the hot markets were hit, along with some new ones that have the potential to boom!  The Tour’s success was evident from the scores of new Distributors that have joined TLC and taken control of their future.  When the first phase of The Limu Revolution Tour was launched in February, TLC Founder, President and CEO, Gary J. Raser, toured the U.S., shared the vision of TLC, and trained on how to use “Your Ticket to Freedom” DVD to build your business.  Then as the Tour “marched on,” our Top 3 Income Earners and Corporate Executives took over, conducting TLC Business Briefings which provided the perfect opportunity to demonstrate how to gain the maximum usage of the DVD at meetings.  Now that the Tour is over, our upcoming Conference in Houston is supplying everyone with MUCH anticipation and excitement over all the new ways that we have found to help your business grow even more.  In fact, our Top Income Earners, Shannon and Rachetté Pardue are hosting the TLC Business Briefing on Friday evening during Conference and will provide everyone with the same training featured on The Limu Revolution Tour, one last time.  Although the Tour has ended, The Limu Revolution will continue to thrive and grow stronger … charting an even greater path to success beyond your dreams!

Next weekend is very special because The LIMU Revolution Tour is Marching On to The Limu Company’s hometown of Lake Mary, Florida (near Orlando) and we’re going to roll out the red carpet and raise the flags to celebrate our TLC Family’s big visit!  Not only will Distributors receive all the benefits of coming to the TLC Business Briefing on Saturday, but they will get to tour the corporate headquarters and meet our President, Gary J. Raser, as well as all of the staff on Friday.  We are very excited to meet all the Distributors who are coming to visit and see our recently expanded offices and the additional renovation plans that are in place!  We’ve got our camera ready to start snapping pictures and we can’t wait to take some great shots for the LimuNation Weekly.  Plus, this is the opportunity to visit sunny O-Town, as we Floridians like to call the city of Orlando.  It can’t get much better than this … exceptional homecoming – office tours – meeting the corporate team – great photo opps – valuable training – networking – and of course, phenomenal business-building!  Now that’s a tremendous weekend … and I can’t wait to see everyone!

To append to last week’s blog about TLC tools that support your business building efforts, I need to remind you of yet another effective tool … the ORIGINAL LIMU INFO LINE.  Simply by sharing with prospects the toll-free phone number to call, a short, professionally recorded message will tell them the entire TLC Story.  This highly effective tool has been available since day one and has been updated to include the most up to date information.  While many Distributors are reaping the benefits, there are some who are not taking advantage of this powerful way to share Original Limu and the TLC Opportunity - or to follow up - in a manner which can be easily duplicated.  Prospects can call anytime, 24 hours a day to listen ... at home, in the car, waiting for a service appointment, at a child’s sporting event, etc; or you can even dial them in on a 3-way call.  Because people gather information through different forms of communication, we want to give our Distributors access to multiple media formats to share the TLC Story.  We will continue to release tools that simplify your job and enable you to reach your goals as quickly as possible!

P.S. – The INFO LINE toll-free number is 866-TLC-4832.

Helping you build your business through Tools and Events remains a high priority at TLC.  2007 began with the Unleashed Conference in January, followed by The Limu Revolution Tour, featuring President Gary J. Raser. The Limu Revolution Marches On Tour, kicked off yesterday in Houston, Texas and features some of the top leaders from both the Executive Team and the field.  In the midst of these events, we’re getting revved up for our next International Conference in Houston on August 10 & 11!  In addition, we Unleashed the new bottle and the new Your Ticket to Freedom DVD among many other business building tools in January, and we’re staying on course for August with more surprises to make what you do everyday even more simple!  Everyone at Corporate appreciates the effort you put forth to build your TLC business and your dedication to achieve your dreams.  While attending the TLC Business Briefings on the second phase of The Limu Revolution Tour, be sure to take a minute and share your personal TLC success story with our production crew.  It's a great opportunity to be a part of the next big tool and yet another chance to tell more people what your TLC business did for you ... and what it can do for others!

This week I’ve been reminded in various ways just how blessed I am that working toward my dreams has played a major factor in how my life has turned out.  Like all of our Distributors and the people they have yet to touch, we all have dreams that we strive toward.  When our dreams come true I believe it’s due in part to our diligence, our resolve, and the opportunities that we recognize for all the potential they offer ... like TLC and Original Limu™.  There are countless individuals who have achieved their dreams and created a better life because of this company and the opportunity it provides.  Dreams are defined in many ways by people; it’s not only soundly reassuring, but also inspiring to be part of an organization, surrounded by people who make it possible for anyone to hope and to make their dreams come true ... It's the epitome of the American Dream.

When working closely with Distributor Support, I’m reminded of how much we, as a company, strive daily to make each interaction with TLC an enjoyable experience and to show we care about every single Distributor.  Our efforts to satisfy every need that arises are real and even as we grow, we will continue to demand excellence in every area.  In my department - Marketing & Communications - we strive to create the tools that will charge your business … the training to help you succeed quickly … and the incentives and promotions to build and keep the momentum strong!  In general, every department makes it a priority to give our TLC Family the best and the most we can give … because that’s what they do for us every day.  In fact, it’s the least we can do to show our appreciation for all of their efforts in Making a Difference!

From what I continue to hear, Leadership Academy in Denver was a home run!  Even before the event, the office was buzzing with news about the attendees who were coming from 23 states across America ... including Hawaii ... and about the training that was not to be missed! I was thrilled to read all the comments from attendees about their fantastic experience and how it's going to help their businesses grow tremendously! What a thrill it was for me to read how Distributors relished listening to Gary's infinite wisdom, sprinkled with plenty of humor.  Every day at the corporate offices, we too get to experience Gary's attitude that work can also be fun.  It seems TLC truly knows how to put on a fabulous training and networking event! As you read excerpts from comments made by attendees, you will no doubt see the direct correlation these intensive training events have on the growth of TLC and our entire team.  The next one will be packed wall to wall for sure!

There’s always more.  More surprises … more developments … more additions.  All of it represents TLC's continued growth.  That’s what makes this company so unique and exciting.  It’s an environment in which we all continue to learn, develop, and grow stronger as a team.  Not one person could grow stagnant with their role in such a dynamic industry, as part of a company with unlimited potential marketing a product that has no boundaries.  This is just ONE of the things I love about being a part of this team.  It is a comfort to know I can always expect the good things that come from there always being “more.”  And that spawns excitement and a sense of adventure for what lies ahead.

Part of my role as Manager of Communications requires that I gather information from Distributors to use in various applications intended to enhance your TLC business. I am delighted each time I communicate with individual Distributors by their gracious attitude in providing, above and beyond, what I need … just to make everything more complete for everyone to benefit.  The responsiveness and willingness to contribute that accompany their actions only lend credit to the family environment this company embodies.  Coming from a close-knit family, I couldn’t ask for a more generous and supportive group of people and company to be associated with.  Because this is not an easy task for many companies to accomplish, I tip my hat to one and all that have made TLC the family company it truly is.

Down here in Florida, it’s Bike Week in Daytona Beach and there are bikers everywhere.  As I crawl through traffic heading to and from TLC headquarters, I wonder what it would be like if all of these people were Limulians and our events caused the interstate back-ups, the multitude of booked hotels, and the proud people coming in droves, sporting their insignias.  I reflect on the growth that TLC has experienced from day one and realize that day might not be far off … we’ll have Limu Week in 0-Town!  It will be a parade like no other … with all the passion, excitement and Original Limu™ you could dream of.  We’re on our way, no doubt about it!

Since our Distributors are what make this company tick, we make sure the business elements are functioning like clockwork for you every minute. Every week, the office is buzzing with internal activity, with many people on different tracks, and then there are times we all come together to formulate and implement plans.  But the goal is always the same … to make sure your job is better and easier.  Ideas float up from each department … projects are defined and tasks are assigned … and everyone diligently seeks to find the solutions to create a masterpiece.  While our President, Gary Raser divides his time between leading his corporate base and his field troops, we work to support him and you.  Together, we’re Making a Difference … and that’s what makes TLC “One Team with One Dream.”

We continue to receive emails and calls with reports of how well the new DVD is working in the field.  Because it Tells the Story so perfectly, distributors are enrolling people left and right.  This has been cause for much excitement throughout the office, as I’m sure, in the field, as evidenced by the messages that have circulated.  There were many revolutionary new things revealed at Conference in Little Rock that have been having a profound effect on the daily efforts of TLC distributors … and to think it’s only been less than a month!  It’s overpowering to imagine the possibilities this company has yet to explore.  The growth has begun, but there’s unlimited room to grow!  As I work with our amazing team in the office exploring every possibility, I enjoy going to work each day … whether to hear of another success story or to discover another way to Unleash The Limu Revolution.

In addition to marveling at the continued intense enthusiasm that lit up the entire office this week, final touches were added to the preparations for The Limu Revolution Tour that our President, Gary J. Raser embarked on.  He had his first stop in Denver, Colorado on Saturday and it’s been very exciting leading up to it.  Conference was a smash hit and there are so many fires that have been lit in the field that the Tour will just keep blazing!  I was especially thrilled to launch the Tour’s new web page that shows Gary’s route. I hope everyone will keep tabs on where he’s been and where he’s going.  Of course, as most of you know, nothing is better than listening to Gary share his life experiences in this industry and his vision for this company’s future, so if you or your prospects can make it to as many cities as possible, you’ll be in the best seat to maximize your success. 

The industry veterans in the company keep telling me how important it is to ride the wave of momentum that spawns from Conference and its overwhelming energy … and from what I’ve heard coming in from the field, everyone is doing just that!  All that means more lives are being changed and more people are being introduced to our family and this amazing opportunity!  Now, that’s exciting … and with our Founder and President on the road promoting what he created, there’s no telling what’s going to happen next!

Guest blog from TLC's Director of Field Support, Bryan Noar:

Whew ... I have never experienced this much excitement since I've been with TLC ... and I've been here since the very beginning!

Ever since The Limu Revolution was Unleashed at Conference things have been going absolutely NUTS ... I just don't know how else to describe it!

DVD success stories are pouring in like Niagara Falls ... enrollments have skyrocketed through the roof ... phones and faxes are ringing off the hook ... and word from the field just keeps getting better and better. I've spoken with literally dozens of our Field Leaders during the past week and there's no doubt about it ... The Limu Revolution is spreading like wildfire!

What's especially exciting to see is how many new Distributors have enrolled others their very first day, by simply taking a DVD away with them and playing it for their family and friends! The DVD is also attracting a lot more business entrepreneurs ... people who see the big picture and aren't afraid to jump right in and make things happen. Imagine the dynasty you could build by enrolling a few dozen of these people in your organization during the next few months!

The Limu Revolution has now been Unleashed, and in the years ahead TLC will touch millions of lives around the world. You have before you the opportunity to literally earn a fortune and change your life forever, while at the same time making a very real difference in the world. The question is, what are you going to do about it?

Timing is everything in our industry, and with TLC the timing is NOW! Don't waste another moment. Go out and share the new DVD with everyone, everywhere ... at least 2 a day, every day ... and teach them to do the same. Together we can change the world!

The Limu Revolution was most definitely 100% Unleashed today!  There was a whole lot of screaming going on in Little Rock!  One after the other, Gary revealed the surprises that seemed to be endless … the new bottle, the new shipping box, the new bottle brochure, the new Limu Song and the first in the industry music video, the new distributor kit, the new presentation, the new Business Plan, and best of all, the new dual-disc DVD.  “We’re hip now,” Gary says and we’ve got all the right elements to support the revolution that will take this company to $150 million by next year. 

From my perspective, it was so much fun to watch Gary and the unbelievable videos introduce all the new items.  There’s been a lot of time, effort, and passion by quite a number of people to make each aspect of these new pieces signify the distance the company has traveled and the road before us.  These will take us to our next mountain top and I think everyone would join my feeling that it’s an honor to be a part of The Limu Revolution.  It’s incredibly exciting, to say the least.

Rowdy Gaines told his story to all 1200 of us, but to me, it seemed as if he was having a solitary conversation with just me.  He’s just that kind of guy.  He shared his struggles and his triumphs and they were all great in size … but even now, one thing remains the same … Rowdy’s genuine character.  He is a significant contribution to this team and this company and will help make many more dreams come true.

The day was action-packed … there were over-the-top achievements of distributors and the dedication spoke so clearly and was inspiring to the core.  The TLC staff doesn’t go a day without thinking of how much distributors make it possible for all that we do … which is just one of the reasons we strive to make it all so fantastic for YOU.  All of you motivate us to do great things, because when we see the awards you receive and know the effort it takes to achieve them, it makes us work that much harder … that 15 minutes more.  But together, as one, we’ll Unleash The Limu Revolution to the world and I believe it’s going to swarm the land faster than you can blink … and soon, we’ll all bask in its success.  Although, we may not have to wait long … selling out of brochures and DVD’s might just be a clue as to what’s in store.

I’m not going to get into the details – you’ll have to check out the newsletter for everything, but I want to say that with this being my first birthday conference, and after the project list it took to make it to this point, I can see the explosion of passion … motivation … and pure elation of being apart of this company.  Watching the people on stage who are making waves and not letting anything get in their way is what makes it ALL so special … the people who touch our hearts and know how to make it happen in a big way are what it’s all about.  I thank you for coming, joining, and believing in yourself!  The Limu Revolution is ours … so, LOOK OUT, ‘cause we’re taking over!

This is only the beginning … not only of Conference, but of The Limu Revolution and of so much more.  I can already start to feel it.  Knowing what’s going to come tomorrow made me quite giddy when I first saw Gary Raser (TLC Founder, President & CEO) on stage this afternoon.  And as always, I was swept up in Gary’s words that evidenced his humor, his passion, and his vision so well.  I’m sure most of the audience joined me in my paralysis of everything else besides what was happening on stage, waiting for what was going to happen next … and the funny part is, I knew and still couldn’t wait!  That’s just a tiny part of what makes TLC conferences so phenomenal – it’s so easy to get absorbed in what’s being said – who’s being recognized – and what the future holds for all of us.  But this year, the videos are rockin’ … the talks are heart-pumpin’ … and the energy is kickin’!  And this is just DAY ONE! 

Today, we heard from our Leader, Gary J. Raser, as he went through the tremendous progress that The Limu Company has made throughout 2006.  There are so many things surrounding the incredible growth that this company has experienced as a whole – and though I’ve only been here for half of the year – I felt so proud of what ALL the people in this company have worked so diligently to procure.  It’s truly inspiring … and yet, we’re only celebrating our THIRD birthday.  That’s pretty young for a company with a track record like ours.  TLC is the talk of the industry … and there’s no question why.  It’s hypergrowth with heart, dedication, and unwavering leadership that makes this company so unique … not to mention 670 studies that support our great-tasting superfood, Original Limu™!

The event moved on to the audience “showing the love” for Russ Wood, our new Vice President of Operations who told us the 7 reasons why he left XanGo as VP of Operations to work for TLC and why he’s going to stay with us.  He said smiling, “until Gary tells me to leave.”  We’re all very glad to have him on the team and leading us through the layers of growth that are in our journey to the top!

Then Bob Breen, TLC’s Senior Advisor, and Bryan Noar, Director of Field Support respectively called everyone’s attention to so many of our distributors that are making a difference in the lives of others, as well as their own.  Obviously, their uplines were very proud and excited for all the accomplishments of their groups as photos were being snapped at every turn.  There were many to recognize – too many for my brief synopsis, but most definitely an integral portion of the event and our success.  Cheers to you!

Gary came back out to tell everyone about the next Leadership Academy in Denver, Colorado in March and how it teaches the basis for developing anyone into a leader.  Then he recapped the recent President’s Dream Trip 2006 and had a few impromptu testimonials of how it was truly “first class all the way.”  That prompted the 2007 trip’s new destination to the Marquis Los Cabos Resort in Los Cabos, Mexico – one of the top TEN resorts in the world.  The pictures of this resort are absolutely breathtaking and from what I here, a step up in quality and class, which is hard to believe from the reactions received from the last one.  And finally, because of the amount of surprises this event is revealing, Gary is going on The Limu Revolution Tour to keep the momentum constant by making around 10 stops across America … and “that’s just to start.”  We thought 2006 was great … but I have a sneaky suspicion we’re all going to be blown away by what 2007 delivers!

Steve Hooper, Revolutionary Expert, discussed the Rules for Revolutionaries and gave enough inspiration to last a lifetime.  He painted a very clear picture of the world, our industry, and a Distributor’s role in it all.  And it’s a big role … but I think we’d all agree, it’s certainly a very promising role and TLC has the opportunity to make it happen.

Besides the last “Unleashed” video, the session ended with the chance to recognize the Enrollers of the Month, at which time Eloise McOuat was the star of the show taking home 7 crystal awards … and what’s TLC without a little humor as Bob helped her with a Radio Flyer red wagon to wheel away all her awards to a safe spot.  Way to go, Eloise! 

But the fun didn’t end there … later we all regrouped to welcome Rowdy Gaines, his wife, Judy and father, Buddy to our family and have our 3rd Birthday Bash.  After distributors sang a very well done rendition of Happy Birthday, Gary welcomed Rowdy on stage.  Aside from his brief hello and introduction, he spent the entire time with distributors as promised … shaking hands, finding out where everyone hails from, and signing as many photos as his hand could produce. 

As everyone danced, mingled, and believe it or not, crowded up the photo wall to mark the evening, the laughter was flowing, the friendly greetings were in full force, and the sense of family was overwhelming.  It’s next to impossible, I think, to not have fun at a TLC event.  Every which way you turn, there’s someone smiling because they’re glad to be there … glad to be a part of this unique group of people … glad to be surrounded by a belief that life is too good not to enjoy, especially when you have it all, right here. 

And this is only DAY ONE …

I’m excited … as Gary would say, “I’m WAY excited!”  Not only because of the surprises that we are going to introduce at Conference next week, but also because TLC does inspire dreams.  It gives hope of something better – no matter what place you’re in at the moment.  That’s what hits home when you see the many different faces of the people who are associated with this company – in the office, in the field, and in the world.  So many lives have already been touched by this amazing product and this generous opportunity for “MORE” … and “more” is defined in a multitude of ways, depending on the life that is touched.  That’s what makes the upcoming two days so spectacular – knowing what’s about to come makes your pulse quicken and a smile inevitably appear – because of the incredible possibilities that are sure to be directly related to what this company is about to unveil.  I’m certain it’ll hit you as hard as it has me and so many others that have been involved in all the preparation for this huge event.  So, I guess you could say I’m excited … but you could definitely say I’m WAY excited!  There’s no looking back now … but then, why would you want to?  There are a whole lot of possibilities just waiting to be seized.

Preparation is key to many things … including hypergrowth.  And that’s why TLC is pulling out all the stops.  We began experiencing unprecedented growth from the start ... with 10 million dollars in sales our first year … month after month of record-breaking sales … and a team of thousands of distributors around the world, and growing!  But, soon, you will all witness the surprises that are part of the plan to take us into a whole new level of growth ... hypergrowth.  We know what’s ahead … and we know that this is the team that will take us there.  We’re building out and moving up … and I’m not just talking about our office space!  It’s very exciting to be in the midst of the preparation – but it's important that every distributor prepares for it as well, because it's unlikely any of us will be part of this type of opportunity again. It’s an incredible time … and it’s only going to get better! 

Everyone at the corporate offices is in high gear and getting fueled up for a Conference like you’ve never seen before!  We’re switching up the program and making it TWO DAYS because there’s just too much to pack into only one.  We’ve got so many surprises to reveal, you’re going to be weak from all the excitement by the end of the weekend!  And from my standpoint, it’s been so much fun and exciting to prepare everything … knowing how MUCH our distributors are going to build more, earn more, and achieve more.  Everyone in the office is FIRED UP!  Though we are putting in some extra hours … it’s so easy not to notice because the end result of our efforts will be so powerful and the field will be so overwhelmed with excitement, you can’t help but feel every minute is worth it.  All I have to say is … GET READY … GET PUMPED … AND GET SET … ‘Cause this Conference is going to ROCK OUR WORLD!

Well, we made it through the rush in TLC-town – and I don’t mean just because of the holidays. I hope everyone was able to rest, relax, and enjoy friends and family.  We got a little of that too but we didn't skip a beat -- working countless hours to get things ready for YOU!  Now we’re kickin’ it up a notch into even higher gear to be ready for Conference in just a FEW WEEKS!  It’s time to put the finishing touches on the birthday celebration … for it’s going to be one blowout event!  If you haven’t already logged in to our new Registration System to update your information – please do so today.  It will help both you and us out when the big weekend arrives!  While you’re putting the decorations back in the attic, make sure you grab your suitcase … and I’ll see you in 25 DAYS!

How are YOU getting to the TLC Conference on January 26 & 27, 2007?  My plans are confirmed, my ride is ready, and my anticipation is overflowing!  This Conference in Little Rock will be a defining moment for TLC and all of us.  So when I hear that music playing, I know my heart will be jumping for the excitement that WILL follow! 

The crew at headquarters has been burning the midnight oil to make sure that this Conference is like NOTHING you’ve ever experienced!  We’re pulling out all the stops!  From what we’ve been hearing, I’m not the only one who’s got plans set in place … besides the multitude of carloads of distributors coming from every direction across the country, there are buses packed to the max driving in from Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK … Houston and Dallas, TX … and from Virginia by way of Memphis, TN!  Plus, we have planes filled up flying in from around the WORLD … including Japan, UK, and Canada!  So, make sure you have your travel plans set in place … for these 2 ACTION-PACKED DAYS at Conference will set a tone of unbreakable resolve and motivation to take control of your future!

I am honored that Jennifer asked me to share my thoughts on the President’s Dream Trip. I’m both awed and humbled by the praise and gratitude from attendees. You see, this trip for me and Gary was not about getting a job done; It was about serving you; About showing you the love and appreciation we feel that you are part of our family and part of our mission; And most of all, part of our DREAM.

Something magical happened on this trip.  It went beyond the delectable feasts, the unlimited bar, the world-class resort, the fabulous entertainment … even beyond the incredible camaraderie. I felt it the whole time I was there; and saw through your comments you all felt it too. What was it?  What made this trip so spectacular, so magical?  And the answer came to me … from Anthony DeGraaf, when he summed it up in 4 words: “I SAW THE DREAM!” That’s what happened; You saw the dream! You didn’t just hear Gary’s words about his dream – our dream – for all of you; You got to taste the dream. You got to live the dream. Then, you took it with you to pass on to others.  And that was the magic.

This week, the office has been charged with electric energy for Conference.  As you may know – the early bird special pricing for Conference tickets ended Thursday and the phones were ringing off the hook with orders leading up to the cut-off!  But, remember, there’s still time to purchase tickets – and there’s no time to waste!  Seats are limited and now, so is the number of tickets left available to purchase!  Plus, the Special Offer of $59 for new distributors who enrolled since September 1st is still kickin’!  The exciting, highly-anticipated announcements that TLC will unleash at the International Conference in January will catapult 2007 into another year of record sales, countless enrollments, and a myriad of dreams that turn into reality! 

We just announced a special ticket price of $59 for new distributors who enrolled beginning September 1, 2006!  The field has already expressed their excitement over this special offer … and I can understand why.  After attending my first TLC Conference in August, I have seen the incredible results of sales growth that stemmed from distributors who attended … which is why it is so critical for everyone to go, especially the newly enrolled. 

This special offer is an investment in YOU and the success that is sure to follow after attending Conference.  No where else can you gain the full spectrum of the energy, excitement, and motivation that projects the vision of TLC.  I have seen the direct outcome in the businesses of those distributors who have experienced Conference and the upward growth in volume, rank, and financial rewards that ensued.  Only at Conference can you fully see for yourself that dreams really do come true through a commitment to our product, our company, and the life-changing opportunity TLC offers day in and day out.  TLC’s passion and support are unmatched … and at Conference, those terms are reflected in every step that's taken to carry out not just an event, but an experience you will want to share … from the heart. 

We’re adding to the pot of goodies to help you share the TLC Story that offers each person Hope, Freedom, and Opportunity through our amazing product, Original Limu™.  In addition to the captivating multi-media tools, informative brochures, and effective sales aids … enhanced by each distributor’s personalized TLC story of success … we have added some dynamic new tools just for YOU! 

First, we have a new Standard Presentation, with an outline for the perfect TLC Briefing, detailing The Limu Revolution that's sweeping the world!  You can use it one-on-one, in a small group, or a large meeting.  It's NOW available through Online Office.

Use these exciting, innovative tools, along with all the others, and help your downline to follow in your footsteps!  Remember why you started the business and proudly speak up – loud and clear – of why this is the opportunity of a lifetime for YOU and for them!

As new as I am to the direct sales industry, it’s hard to imagine the magnitude of the people affected by just one company.  Ruby School was purely enlightening.  Listening to Gary and the participating distributors, I was awed at the proof of Hope, Freedom, and the Opportunity realized by so many.  The Limu Revolution is alive and well.  When taking stock of life’s choices and the opportunities to make your dreams – your hopes – a reality, there are seldom few that even come within the vicinity of what TLC offers. 

I am reminded of the struggle of so many families when I see statistics, such as “The average [credit] cardholder’s outstanding balance is $4,400 – up 123% in only a decade,” according to Nilson Report. And the government recently reported that “personal savings have fallen to the lowest monthly level in history.”  Stark truths like these only enforce the depth of the generosity of the solution that TLC offers for everyday issues through its compensation plan and the chance to build a business with a product that you can believe in.  Sure, there may be other avenues with the chance to make some extra money, but none that are supported by a strong company, a clear vision, a solid plan, and a phenomenal product that is all too easy to share with everyone you know and meet. 

The mission is simple and the results are proven.  Soon hundreds of thousands of distributors will all be able to tell their story of experiencing wealth and success … and freedom to do whatever they please.  My hat is off to TLC for this incredible opportunity and to the distributors who have already acknowledged it for what it is and are working toward achieving everything they have ever wanted out of life.

TLC is rocking this month!  In anticipation of the continued phenomenal growth, we are making advancements across the board!  Left and right, widely renowned trade expert are visiting our office and lending their top notch skills and expertise to upgrade our telecommunication and computer systems that will make our, as well as your job easier!  Not to mention the expansion of our Customer Service Department … AND the addition of seasoned industry executive, Russ Wood, our new VP of Operations!  Russ knows this business through and through and has 15 years of proven results to back up his professional success. 

There is much to do as we prepare for our office expansion that will triple the space we currently utilize ... but we are right on track with our growth, which just reached another milestone – 9 consecutive record-breaking months!  Don’t miss your chance to profit from this explosive revolution … join Bryan Noar, Director of Field Support, Diamonds Shannon & Rachette Pardue, Emeralds Luke & Deb Pennucci, and many more at the next Regional Training Event on November 4^th in Columbia, South Carolina and take home the leverage for your business to reach its next milestone.  The Limu Revolution is upon us … symbolizing the countless people already experiencing Hope, Freedom, and Opportunity with Original Limu™.  It’s a great day at The Limu Company!

Ruby School was in session this weekend in sunny Lake Mary, Florida!  The Ruby School attendees were treated to a tour of the TLC Headquarters and an introduction to the Executive Team.  They had ample time to pick the brains of the corporate staff and fellow field leaders and gain ‘tried and true’ tips and information!  Class notes consisted of business building fundamentals, how to make the most of events, the ‘ins & outs’ of leadership skills and development, maximizing the compensation plan, and TLC’s systems and tools.  The setting was open and comfortable with a constant exchange of ideas, experiences, and brainstorming.  The juices were flowing and the room was alive with excitement to apply the tested and proven strategies in the field!  With diplomas in hand and the weekend at an end, the Ruby School Graduates had forged valuable friendships and set their next goals … to reach a higher standard for their businesses.  And let me tell you … the future looks good!  Be sure to qualify for TLC Ruby School – Spring Class of 2007!

Any time someone mentions The Limu Company, the words “breaking records” inevitably follow.  However, throughout TLC’s consistent success to uncharted heights, for each new milestone reached, we experience pure excitement as if it was the first.  With all this growth came our strong desire to feed each facet of the company with the power that Original Limu™ has incurred.  Therefore, we are preparing a number of surprises to match where TLC is headed.  When we reveal them at Conference – you will then be unleashed to really start living the dream!  The destination is at your fingertips and the strength is already evident through your personal development, your confident attitude, and your dedication … to your future and to Making a Difference in the rest of world as well as your own.  Remember … there are so many others looking for the right opportunity to build a life they choose.  It’s your job to let them know this is the right opportunity, as well as all of the phenomenal benefits they can count on to receive if they embrace this business – their business.  Then they will see for themselves why it’s just that good to be a part of the TLC Family!  Here’s to the people we have touched, the lifestyles we have improved, and the lives we have yet to impact!  Cheers!

Hyper-growth is the popular phrase after achieving yet another record-breaking month of volume – that would be the 9th month in a row!  The constant enthusiasm behind this explosion of growth is a daily reminder of this incredible momentum … and we are lining up the awesome surprises that will be announced at Conference in January! 

Not to mention, the feedback coming in from the field, such as the last Regional Training event that was beautifully orchestrated by hosts, Raymond and Yolanda Brown in Houston, Texas on September 23rd.  Just less than 200 zealous distributors came pouring in from as far as Delaware to receive invaluable training from TLC’s top income earners, Shannon & Rachette Pardue in addition to 6 of TLC's most successful Emeralds and TLC's Director of Field Support, Bryan Noar.  Be sure not to miss the next one, scheduled for November 4th in Columbia, South Carolina!  Further west on the map, Colorado was hoppin’ with their own event that brought in 140 distributors eager for training in which Emeralds, Luke & Deb Pennucci and John & Lynnette Stevenson conducted!  The numbers are definitely climbing quickly … and the crew here at Corporate is your biggest fan club! 

In fact, we brought back the offer of a “FREE Personalized Home Page for one year after enrolling a Distributor with a 3-Pack” due to popular demand!  And as Jerry Maguire would say, “Help me help you” … help us continue to actively drive LCQ Distributors to convert to the new AutoAdvantage Program.  We are all working by your side to lead TLC through this remarkable acceleration!

The exponential growth that has dominated this UNBELIEVABLE year here at TLC has spawned some exciting new developments!  For one thing, we are hiring like CRAZY to stay ahead of the game and to serve you better every day!  We already have many new smiling faces around the office ... and more are on the way!  We may be movin' and shakin' at corporate - but the real activity has been in the field - and you've heard the statistics to prove it!  Congratulations!

Also, we had a FANTASTIC surprise on Friday at TLC headquarters ... our Official Spokesman, Rowdy Gaines came to meet the corporate team for the first time!  Everyone was absolutely thrilled to meet and talk with an Olympic legend and genuine class act.  He was also gracious enough to personally autograph each team member's signature photograph - the same one we handed out at the last conference.  It was a great day!  Believe me when I say ... you will NOT be disappointed when you meet him for yourself at the conference in January! 

TLC Distributors got the green light to “GO” and everyone is racing at top speeds that don’t even appear on the speedometer!  I am astounded at the pace in the field … the news keeps coming in that sponsoring is absolutely exploding and the sales charts – WHOA BABY!  You guys are HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!  This company keeps surprising me with all its incredible success and the immediate hike in production and it’s because of all the awesome efforts from this veritable army of distributors.  You all are the ones who are making it happen – and based on the numbers, you are making this company be in a class by itself!  I love hearing the UNBELIEVABLE STATS of the month-end sales reports and just can’t wait to see what’s in store for the months ahead!  This is such a great company and I hope you keep focused … we all know it will pay off!  After all, records are meant to be broken … just ask our Official Spokesman, Rowdy Gaines!

The next Regional Training Event in Houston, Texas is on the calendar for September 23^rd and Bryan is finalizing plans this very moment, for what promises to be another great chance to accelerate your business growth with training designed for everyone ... from the newcomer to the seasoned pro.  Be prepared to receive knowledge and training tips you can immediately apply and receive tremendous results!  Distributors can’t stop talking about how much they loved the Breakout Sessions at Conference and how their businesses have already benefited from the top notch training they received.  I can assure you ... you'll get even more of that in Houston!  So start mapping out your trip now and get to Houston on the 23rd!  Whether you are 10 miles away or 100 or more – with all the new introductions and the simple, yet imperative lessons you will learn at this training – your business will grow at a rate even Donald Trump would notice!   

On Friday, September 1^st, the systems were all in place and the staff was ready to go for the launch of our new “Join Now” page, which now includes the much-anticipated Preferred Customer option to receive their Original Limu™.  Now, Preferred Customers who buy a case count toward Dive for 5 ... a major enhancement to your business!  This is a very exciting time at TLC because it will simplify the enrollment process and help distributors grow their group and get Original Limu™ into everyone’s refrigerator faster and easier than ever.  After all, who doesn’t yearn for optimal health?  Also initiated on Friday was the new AutoAdvantage Program, which I hope everyone is aware of by now … if you haven’t already, please spread the word!  Reminders are about to start pouring out.  And it’s only in your best interest to convert and get everyone else to convert before the month’s end.  I know I would hate to have my Original Limu™ supply run short ... or miss qualifying for commission checks come October!  Once we’re through this transition, it will be smooth sailing and all of us will reap the benefits of these new programs!  I hope you all have a great Labor Day holiday!

Phones are ringing off the hook … distributors are calling in to Customer Service and Bryan’s extension has been busy all week!  The reports are coming in and the hottest news is that SPONSORING IS GROWING AT AN OLYMPIC PACE!  Field leaders are calling in to tell us that groups are going crazy with excitement over the success of the breakout sessions and the announcements made at Conference … limu and Fucoidan research published in a language suitable for everyone to understand in a leading health magazine available nationwide … Rowdy Gaines, a 3-Time Gold Medalist and Olympic favorite, is our official spokesman and will be an active member of the TLC family … just wait until the next conference in January!  In fact – nearly 800 tickets were sold in less than 4 hours – distributors got a reduced price AND they will be attending the “By Invitation Only” special reception with Rowdy Gaines.  Spots are going to fill up quickly – so start making your plans!  You’ll hear it ALL from Gary on Tuesday’s President’s Call – so be sure not to miss it!  Everyone is charged up and a new level of growth has already begun – talk about goose bumps!

Absolutely one of the most thrilling experiences I’ve ever had.  The day began fast and as the doors opened – and distributors rushed … I mean RAN in to get the best seats!  With the drums pounding, the audience jammed out – they were ready.  Immediately, the video played announcing the new magazine, Breakthroughs in Health – and the crowd went crazy!  Balloons, confetti, music, excitement – the people were on their feet!  A FREE copy was given out to everyone in the audience and they erupted again! 

As recognition was a large part of the day, it was a common discussion from that point on noting the incredible growth that has taken place since January and Gary backed that up with the milestones of the company during that time.  The resounding cheers were synonymous with the team effort and the heights being reached by the distributors.  You could tell that everyone in this company works hard – but the rewards they have received for that hard work is more incentive than they need to continue their trek.  And the magazine announcement was illuminated in that vision to succeed – even more. 

And then the unexpected happened … ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT.  Rowdy Gaines – 3-Time Olympic Gold Medalist – is now the exclusive spokesman to TLC and Original Limu™.  As I sit here listening to the word already spreading about this new and very exciting addition to our team and our family – it gives me chills to think of how this will fuel the explosive growth that is clearly in our sights.  The video was AWESOME – his story is one of a kind – and he will be at the next Conference come January.  Everyone went bonkers!  The cheers and applause was deafening. 

But it’s hard to explain the little things in between these announcements – that is what being present at conference does so well.  It’s listening to Gary – who never fails to make everyone laugh and smile.  It’s the special recognition and words of praise and thanks and love that truly touch your heart and give you the strength and fortitude to share the mission of TLC.  It’s that inspiration that seems so precious when you feel the power behind it firsthand.  It’s the confidence you see in distributor’s eyes, the tears of gratification displayed as they stand on stage, and the teamwork that is constantly in motion. 

These emotions carried on through the Breakout Sessions and for the rest of the show.  Gary continued to delight everyone with the little surprises he loves to pull out of his sleeves.  And following a last word of encouragement, thanks, and advice from the top 2 distributors – Rusty Barton and Shannon and Rachette Pardue – Gary took a moment to give the audience a glimpse of the vision he sees of TLC and this team – through his eyes.  Even my heart skipped a beat picturing it the way he does … but I’ll say it again, you have to be there to actually feel it. 

Everything I was told came true … but no one could have ever said in words, the emotional depth experienced here today – by me, by the distributors – by this team.  What an unbelievable day!

Everything I was told came true – the hectic pace, the guffaw and greetings, and the anxious anticipation for the opening of the doors.  As early as 8 o’clock in the morning one distributor was waiting … 3 hours later, that was the first ticket we tore for registration.  After the first wave of distributors passed, there was a steady stream excited and pumped to see the staff once again and to start the show!  I was heartened to feel the warmth of the distributors as they greeted those they knew – both staff and distributors alike. 

As the day began with the Leaders Meeting, I truly did not know what to expect.  As impressed since my first day on the job with the Corporate Staff, I sincerely enjoyed listening to Gary introduce them and to hear them explain what they do – and do so well. Following the panel’s speeches, Gary discussed important issues and introduced the new AutoAdvantage Program.  Distributors were engaged and then cheered about the new Program.  Bryan followed with the necessary specifications and distributors continued to applaud all of the program’s enhancements!  After Gary introduced Lisa Rieger – Lead Customer Service Representative and TLC’s "Employee of the Quarter" and me to the crowd – so many distributors approached me to wish me luck and congratulations on my new position within the company and/or just to introduce themselves.  Let me just say … it was easy to feel the genuine sense of family that surrounds this unique group of people. 

Then came the time for the TLC Briefing – and the line stretched and stretched!  The room was a twitter with the promise of the night and the day to follow.  Once inside – people were everywhere!  Talking, laughing, shouting, whistling … energized.  This was the first time I really felt it – the static energy the moment you walk in the door – to see the grand staging – to hear the music pumping – to see the lights hopping … and to see all the distributors in their glory. 

The top Field Leaders ran the show – Shannon, Rusty, Yolanda – names if you don’t know now, you will soon!  They dominated the attention of the audience – and what an audience!  Hearing the personal stories from numerous distributors about their experience with TLC and Original Limu™ – physically and/or financially – was overwhelming at times.  Heck, I got so wrapped up in what everyone was saying – for a while there I forgot to take notes!  And to top off the night – the Field Leaders of Diamond, Emerald, and Ruby hosting their own nightcap event to carry on the fun just a bit longer before the day ends. 

But just wait ‘til tomorrow …

We’ve just added three new success stories to the website – and hope you will go check it out!  In addition, the Success Stories page has received a face-lift to make it easier to navigate.  And that's not all!  We have a lot of exciting developments in the works and would like to fill up our photo file so we can recognize you properly.  In fact, if you are coming to conference, we have set up a time each day that a professional photographer will take photos of all new Golds, Rubies, Emeralds, and Diamonds.  (Details will be given out at registration.)  After all – you are the heart and soul of this company – we feel you should be noticed for all that you do!
