Special BLFBC Meeting Room with meeting facilities: white board and table at first priority reservation.
At this time of year I find myself reflecting on an experience I had many years ago. It was 1997 and a fellow Bios Life Franchise Owner (I will call him Jon) in one of our international markets had been insisting that I come and spend time with him and his down line. I put it off and used every polite excuse I could think of to get out of the trip. He reminded me that I had promised. I boarded a plane and made the long trip there. I was mildly resentful and just wanted to get the trip over with. As I landed, the humidity hit me, my exhaustion hit me and my prejudice of this trip hit me. I was not happy to be there. I went to catch a taxi was overwhelmed by the mass of people all trying to get downtown. The heat and smells of the city were making me wish I were home. I checked into the hotel and found that a message was waiting for me. The message was that the meeting had been pushed up and would begin in just 30 minutes. I was frustrated; I wanted to eat, clean up and rest. Instead, I brushed my teeth and went to the lobby.
As I entered the meeting room, I was thronged by people I didn’t know. Everyone was speaking at once. I felt anxious and ready for some quiet. My host took the microphone and over the noise asked everyone to sit down and prepare to begin. Slowly, everyone took a seat and quiet came over the room. I was relieved to sit in the calm for a moment. Jon welcomed everyone to the meeting. Jon discussed the agenda and announced I was the keynote speaker for the event. He looked at me and he stopped. He lowered his head and then looked up again to speak. He paused. An uncomfortable silence filled the room. Then he began: “Everyone, please know that this man is here for one reason. He keeps his promises. He wants success for me and for you. He is here not because he wants to, but because he couldn’t do anything else. He made a commitment.” My heart melted and with it, every prejudice I had about Jon, his downline and this trip. That moment changed me forever. That moment defined me. I made a promise. I made a commitment.
I committed to you, two years ago, that I would make a difference. I promised I would. We have introduced a Franchise Development system. It’s about making you successful in your market in your best way. We have new tools in the US and EU. We have new products specifically designed for the markets in Japan, Thailand and South America. On the corporate side, we are hiring the best talent we can find and training them to build our business. We are traveling to be with you at every opportunity. We call you, write you and support you.
It’s not enough. I made a commitment, but I have not yet kept my promise.
This New Year is wonderfully exciting to me. We get to join together in nine months in Pusan, Korea at our 2008 Global Leadership Convention. My vision is to define who we are even more. My vision is to reach out to those who are looking for a better life. My vision is to create, grow and reward. I want to be more committed. I want you to know that I have extended the same challenge to every employee in every market. I have challenged our Franchise leaders. I want to bring a sense of wonder to this business. I have to – I promised.
You’re the one – each one of you – I recommitted to that day, many years ago. I hold myself to that standard for 2008. Between now and then we’ll talk, and I hope you’ll hold me to my promise. Make that promise to yourself. Only the very best for 2008!
Best wishes,
Stewart Hughes

teamrich.wordpress.com – Unicity’s Chairman & CEO Year End Message
There are many Rags to Riches stories in Direct Sales. An opportunity to earn a very high income from a low investment – if you persevere and choose the right company to work with.
A delegation of 12 (8 from Singapore and 4 from Indonesia) had the opportunity to attend and witness the many true rags to riches stories in Unicity Thailand.And this is only one market where Unicity has genuine cases of people earning good money in a long term direct selling business.
Our first stop was Presidential Diamond, Khum Joe and his lovely wife’s brand new bungalow house.It’s lovely and cozy home (see YouTube video below).Just 3-4 years ago, Joe was struggling to survive.How did he manage to turn around in such a short time and earn a seven figure annual income from his Unicity Franchise business?
Joe very candidly shared his secrets of his rags to riches stories:
Choose the Right Network Marketing Company:
Like what his mentor and sponsor would always say “If you join the wrong company (meaning companies which is not going to last very long), you have already failed from day one.All your work will go to waste when the company closes down.
Have a Big Outcome:
Have A Clear and Crystallized Vision of your Future.When your outcome is big, you are not perturbed by the problems and obstacles you may face along the way.If your Vision is unclear, you will surely stumble and fall.You will get discouraged and quit.That is why so many people fail .Their Vision is blurred. He will not work with anyone who does not have a clear vision.
More Heart:
Most people like to say “I Must Work Hard”.Joe will say “More Heart ♥Put More Passion Into Your Work”.
More Action:
Big & Clear Vision + Right Massive, Consistent Action= Big Outcome.
Follow The System:
A Good System should be Simple, Easy, Effective and Duplicable.He uses CD tools extensively for his training.Thailand is so big.Many of his associates are in far remote provinces and they learn from Leaders through such training CDs.
He even uses a speech I made at the Unicity Bangkok Convention 2006 as a motivational tool for his associates. It is no wonder, many of the Thai delegates at this Bangkok Rally Convention recognized me.
His 8 Step System:
Be a Unicity Franchise Owner
Set Your Dreams and Target
Name List
Invitation
Show the Plan
Follow Up
Work With the System
Planning and Consultation
The remarkable difference between Thailand and the neighboring countries is they did not bargain with the company for a lower Start Up amount or a Lower Maintenance.From day one, they stuck to the 500PV (equivalent to S$1200) of initial purchase of products if someone wants to start the Unicity Franchise and a Monthly Commitment of 200 PV (about S$500).Joe said that he did not want to waste time with someone who is not able to raise S$1200 to start a big business.
For those who are unable to consume S$500 worth of product per month, they can, for example, use S$100 and sell S$400.
We were in for a surprise!We found out that many of them actually used more than S$500 worth of products per month for themselves and their family.They even wiped out stocks in Singapore because of the high demand in Thailand.
Joe and his team have come a long way.(It is not that long ago – 4-5 years – for him to go from zero income to a 7 figure annual income (US$, not Baht!).
Amazing to see so many young people ages 20-30 earning between S$10,000-30,000 per month.They are like Joe – ordinary folks who have Big Dreams.They come from all walks of life – from teachers, nurses, government employees, clerks, secretaries to professionals, and owners of businesses.
Khum (Thai for “Mr”) Joe (38 years old), Thai Presidential Diamond
For the last 20 years, Khum Joe had been in and out of many network marketing / mlm / direct sales companies.Most of the time, the lifespan of these companies were far shorter than his tenure in the company.Each time a MLM or direct sales company collapsed, he lost everything.He even started his own network marketing company.He finally gave up because it could not provide him the lifestyle he dreamed of:Time + Money Freedom.
He was also a consultant to some network marketing / MLM companies and that too did not last long.Deep in his heart, he knew that the only way for him to get what he wanted is to build a very successful franchise in a proven company (which has a good track record and offers real, marketable products). The opportunity came when a Unicity Presidential Sapphire spoke to him about the Unicity business.
The initial start up period in Unicity Thailand was no plain sailing.At one stage (in 2004), his Franchise Owners were reduced from a few hundreds to just a handful.In spite of this major setback, he believed deep in his heart that the Unicity Franchise can make his dreams come true.So he persisted with the remaining few leaders and within a few years, they brought in thousands of new Franchise Owners.
We also attended Joe’s UniPower Seminars and they were packed with more than 2000 enthusiastic people.
Joe’s success is an inspiration to millions of Thais as well as to many people throughout the region.During the trip, we came across many other successful and inspirational direct selling stories.I will share these rags to riches stories with you at another time.
The Thais are experiencing great success with another 30% growth in August 2007.Despite having 100 or more network marketing companies / MLM operating in Thailand, Unicity’s Super Chlorophyll Powder are selling like hot cakes.It is a drink of choice for their film stars, doctors, politicians, right down to taxi drivers, construction workers.This is a testimony to the efficacy of Unicity products.
Super Chlorophyll Powder (Derived from nutrition-rich alfalfa, this chlorophyll supplement supports overall cleansing and health. Retail: US$18.00)(S$35)
Towards the end of September 2007, Joe will lead a team over 200 Thai delegates to the Unicity Japan Convention.By the time they get to Japan, they will have more than 250 new Presidential Directors.This is certainly cause for celebration in the Thai camp. And a victory for direct sellers.
……………………
The following Singapore Delegates also shared their experiences on the trip:
Priscilla Pang, Executive Director:
The Bangkok Business Rally proves to me, once again, that the Unicity business has a level playing field.People who come in “late” into the business, not only have a chance of doing well, but even exceeding the earnings of those who joined earlier. This is the true test of a good network marketing / MLM company.
With Unicity, everyone can succeed – even physically handicapped people, like Pong Sak from Chiang Mai, Thailand, who is wheelchair bound.He became Senior Manager within a few months of joining Unicity!
Hearing & talking to Pong Sak is such an inspiration! “People look at me as a person on wheelchair, but my brain is not sitting on a wheelchair! My Dreams do not sit on a wheelchair!” If a physically disabled person simply would not let his handicap stop him from pursuing his Dreams, what about the rest of us?. How often do we meet able people who have forgotten how to Dream? Or worse still, don’t believe they could achieve their Dreams? Let’s share this amazing life story of Pong Sak with them, for it could reignite their dreams.
On being asked how he managed to travel all the way from Chiang Mai to attend the Rally in Bangkok, Pong Sak said “My heart is there for Unicity, if I want to be there, I will get there!” How powerful!
Similarly, I won’t let excuses stop me from pursuing what I feel is important to me! I’ll just simply do it till I get it – that’s the most valuable lesson for me. If disabled person can do it, so can I!
Samuel K, Director:
The only way to succeed in direct sales is to be a great leader.
A successful Bangkok Business Rally and the following day’s full day training had a turnout of more than 2000 people. The Thais are not only growing , they are growing bigger and faster.
When I saw the size of the crowd attending the Rally, it immediately gave me a motivating thought. The only way to grow to a size like that is to have a good number of leaders. The bigger the organization we want to build, the more leaders we need to have.
We saw a couple of Presidential Club members moving up the ranks during this trip. This is encouraging as it shows that the growth is consistent with people moving up in a predictable manner.
We have all heard Stewart Hughes talk about the importance of leadership, here in Thailand we got to see leadership at its best. For how can a man run host an event for more than 2000 associates all by himself? Not to mention 2 concurrent sessions of training in one day. Bottom line: Size of Organization = Number of Leaders.
So I guess the question is how do we get a good number of leaders in our organization? Well, we can look at the success of the Thais for inspiration, we can look at our immediate up line for guidance or we can look at the mirror and start working with that person.
I am inspired to develop myself and more importantly lead myself even more just like how my up line, Nancy Long does, setting an great example and walking the talk. If the Thais can do it, so can we.
Jennifer N, Executive Manager:
I admire the enthusiasm of Thai people and their Business Associates. Whether young or old, they joined Unicity with a clear dream in mind.
The turnout of the Rally on the 8 September 2007 at Rama Garden was truly awesome. Two thousand plus of them coming to the event with so much energy and enthusiasm!All of them came for the Rally with the correct attitude. Wearing different color polo t-shirts, they reflect unity in diversity.
People who are serious about the network marketing business must know how to dream.They know, too, what it takes to achieve the dream. For example, a Thai lady from the province taught us that anyone can do the business successfully as long as they put their hearts and souls into it. Initially, she did not even dare to talk to people.However, driven by her dream, she learn to open up and persevere, and talk to as many people as possible. She now owns a Mercedes car. Her husband helps to chauffeur her from province to province so she can deliver products. She now has no problems talking to a big group of people.
My strategy is to:
add more names in my contact list,
call more people, meet more people,
talk to more people about the business and products
and therefore achieve a positive growth in my direct sales organization.
Action speaks louder than words. Less Work / Effort = Less Results. On the other hand, More Work / Effort = Better Results.
