VOLUME 1 ISSUE 1 | 25

A chieving individuals have a lot in common with one

another. One of the most important commonalities among achievers is the ability to set goals. Simply stated, a goal is an objective or a purpose. However, goal setting for achievement implies competition with a standard of excellence. Competition is a fact of life. Anyone who has tried to increase their family’s income from year to year or attempted to reduce their weight has experienced competition with personal or societal standards. No competition, no achievement. Know competition, know achievement.

There are three things to think about in relation to goal setting. First, defining a goal with a standard of excellence does not require the achieving individual to actually reach the goal, but does give the pursuer of such a goal a target. “How well did I do?” “Did I measure up?” “How did I fare compared to others in my company?” A standard of excellence also may be a function of your own needs or interests. Dr. Ralph Carson and I ran in a 10k (6.2 miles) race last year. Our goal was very simple — run the race the entire distance without walking. Ralph showed mercy and stayed with me the entire way, finishing a mere .01 seconds ahead. Good news: we reached the goal. Bad news: we set no records. However, the standard of excellence was our own.

Second, an achievement goal must be tough but attainable. If one sets goals that are too easily met, there is no joy in victory, because anyone could have done it. If one sets goals that are too difficult (if not impossible to meet) no one could have done it, there is a predictable “agony of defeat.” Goals must be realistic with a moderate risk or challenge. Achievers take moderate risks. When they reach their moderately tough goals, they feel the pleasure of reaching their objectives and celebrate.

Third, an achievement goal is measurable. In order to identify whether a goal has been reached, measurement

is critical. Setting a goal of better income in the next 12 months is actually not an achievement goal since it is too vague. Such goals require the setter of such goals to state clearly the criteria for success. Some goals will be attained by an either/or outcome — yes or no. Did you add 30 more active** distributors to your network? Did you earn your Black Diamond pin? Other goals may be placed on a continuum to allow you to determine a percentage of goal attainment. You made $110,000 from marketing your products but you had a goal of $130,000, about 85% goal attainment.

Finally, a goal must have a time limit. To say you are going to become a college graduate or reach millionaire status sounds good—but when? Putting a time limit on a goal gives the goal-setter a sense of urgency. Some goals have their own built-in timelines, such as semester grades. However, most goals are under the control of the setter and require the achiever to define the time in which a goal attainment is expected. Some examples of time limits would be to invite 120 new prospective customers to use the

product by June 1st or attain an annual income of $240,000 by New Years Eve.

So, achievement oriented goal setting requires several easy but crucial steps. First, make sure your goals represent competition with a standard of excellence. Then check to see whether the goals are tough but attainable. Next, make sure you develop a measurable success indicator. Finally, set a time limit for goal attainment.

MONAVIEchoosesR3GLOBAL

AÇAI BERRY&the{One of the World’s Top Superfoods}

Before there was R3Global, there was a vision. As seen by Brig and Lita Hart, this vision was a

successful relational marketing business that started with a Total Support System. The Harts believe that putting this vision into action was a mandate for them. Their first step? To find a product and a company that they believed in. Only then could they form R3Global to help those who are open and willing to build a successful business based on relationships, helping others, and being rewarded for their achievements.

“We were just waiting for a place to apply it,” Brig says of the vision of The Total Support System that was birthed 10 years ago and implemented in 2006. “We saw a new culture of people helping people — a culture of relational marketing versus network marketing.”

It all began with Brig and Lita looking for a healthier lifestyle and a new networking opportunity. Liquid nutritional beverages seemed to be the buzz in both. Tim Wilson, a friend and associate of Brig’s, was commissioned to seek out and find that

product or company. During Tim’s research he came across a company in Salt Lake City, Utah, by the name of Monarch Health Sciences. They were in the final stages of developing a product with the açai berry as its crown jewel and it was called “MonaVie”. They learned that MonaVie was a proprietary blend of 19 of the so-called Forgotten Fruits.

The use of the açai berry in the product really sparked their interest, so Brig, Lita and Tim traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, to meet with MonaVie Founder and President

Dallin Larsen. Looking back they believe God ordained this divine appointment. None of them were very impressed with the small office building housing MonaVie, but they were impressed with the product and most importantly with the person. “I look for people who are passionate about what they do,” Brig states. “Dallin was the guy with the vision I wanted to invest in.”

The three left Utah feeling exhilarated. When Brig and Lita arrived back home in Florida they did two things. First, they had the product tested by Dr. Donald Mayfield who said, “Number one, you’ve got a product that’s good for a 3-year-old and a 108-year-old. This is a phenomenal product — 19 fruits, synergistically blended. Two, you have a ‘live’ product. How did they get live enzymes into this bottle?” At the time, Brig didn’t understand what he was asking, but Lita did. She understood that what made MonaVie so unique was the patent-issued flash freeze process.

Brig and Lita launched out in a quest to share with as many folks as possible this message of better health — physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually — through MonaVie. Brig then gave out seven bottles of MonaVie to his neighbors. They instantly loved it and asked him to introduce the beverage to their friends. Brig and Lita got even more excited. They had the juice and “The Story of MonaVie” DVD, so they decided to host a tasting party. He explains, “The bottom line of networking is exposing new people to the product and the program. We did that then and we continue to do the same now.”

Sponsoring people into the MonaVie opportunity became their full focus. Building a

network was one thing, but actually managing that growth and maintaining it was a whole other issue. Past experiences in the industry led Brig and Lita to institute the teaching and training that would be necessary to keep the people in the business. Hence the implementation of R3Global and The Total Support System in early 2006.

Four years later R3Global and the Total Support System have earned their rightful place in full alignment with MonaVie and Dallin Larsen’s vision to be the best business for the world.

We believe in the Power of “One”. By reaching one person at a time by connecting and then empowering them, we can reach that one family who in turn can reach another. One by one we can exponentially grow and reach a community, a city, a country and even the nations. Faithfulness, diligence and obedience will always produce desired results.

Who could have predicted that this little dark berry from the Amazon (the açai) and a little East Coast couple with a big vision (the Harts) would rock the networking industry as they have? The finest chapter in the MonaVie and R3G adventure has yet to be written. R3G and the Team that Brig and Lita have assembled have plans to fully redefine the limits of where a company like MonaVie can be taken.

Taking the message of living a happier, healthier and more prosperous lifestyle through MonaVie is the Harts’ chosen life mission now. Stay tuned as we forge ahead with R3G’s commitment to assisting one and all to succeed at any chosen level. MonaVie, You, and R3G are a match made in heaven. Till death do us part. Focus Forward!

SHARING A HEART GOOD NEWS!

PASTOR, AUTHOR, FRIEND AND R3G BLACK DIAMOND

PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN, AUTHOR, FRIEND AND MONAVIE DISTRIBUTOR

Over the years my wife, Adonica, and I have traveled the world introducing the presence of God and the reality of the Lord. We have met millions of people during our journey. When I met Brig Hart in the early ‘90s, I knew he was one of those people who I must keep in my life. Brig and I share the same kind of heart.

What knit my heart together with Brig’s was that we are always looking to help people. Our hearts reach out for the harvest of souls. Everywhere Brig goes he talks about Jesus. He realizes the danger of people who don’t have their priorities straight — those that are not on this Earth to help others and are not for the harvest of souls for eternity.

It’s easy to get caught up in the money and the things, but as long as we keep our hearts focused on eternity and helping people, then the money can come and the money can go. We must keep our hearts pure. The moment our hearts are for things, we will forget about the people. That’s when you end up with marital problems, divorce and all kinds of problems that come with unlimited amounts of unchecked wealth.

Our message is that as long as we keep our hearts to help people, for the harvest and for eternity, we will keep everything in the right perspective. Heed the warning. This is essential. We’ve seen so many couples ruin their lives in the pursuit of money, fame, and fortune without having a guideline for eternity. The day’s going to come when we have to give an account of our life on the Earth — what we did with our time, what we did with our talents and what we did with our treasure. Make sure that you are able to account for your life on Earth. TCM

R3GLOBAL FOUNDERS


T“This ain’t no dress rehearsal,” Brig Hart announces from a booth at one of his favorite breakfast spots. “Life’s too short not to be real.” It’s one of the few “days off” Brig and Lita enjoy in their hometown of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla. They’re one of the busiest couples in the world — not because they HAVE to work, but because they WANT to work. The Harts love what they do so much that they can’t imagine not doing it.

On this leisurely morning, they’ve decided to go out for a late breakfast. With everything that the Harts have accomplished (and it’s a laundry list), you would think that it would be a bit intimidating to be around them. It’s anything but. Brig and Lita (husband and wife for over 27 years) have the ability to make you feel comfortable in an instant. This is one of the reasons they have become the top earners in one of the most successful relational marketing companies in the world — MonaVie.

When God Is Your GuideIn fact, the couple’s continuous

achievements have caused the company to keep raising the bar and creating new levels for them to reach and more fantastic incentives to reward. Recently, they achieved Double Crowne Black Diamond — the first to ever reach this prestigious level. Other than a hefty annual income, the honor comes with perks — a $2 million cash bonus and the Exotic Destinations program (the couple will choose from one of five once-in-a-lifetime trips to places like China, Switzerland or South Africa).

A lot of people in the Harts’ situation might close up shop, buy a sailboat, move

to the Bahamas and go fishing all day. But these two can’t and they won’t. They are so passionate about what they do that they see Double Crowne as the beginning. “A dream is progressive. I don’t have just one dream. I’ve got lots of dreams,” Brig says. “It’s kind of like climbing a mountain. The further up on the mountain you go, the further you see. So what’s next?”

For Brig and Lita, each level is just another stepping stone in their journey. There is no end when God is your guide. “My standard isn’t set by anybody here on earth,” Brig explains. “My standard is set by God, whose ways are so much higher than our ways. He is infinite. Doing less than what God made you capable of is probably the greatest tragedy of mankind. We want all that God wants for us.”

A New BeginningGod may not have a beginning, but the

Harts do, and it’s essential to understand their past before you can understand their future. Over five years ago, Brig and Lita were semi-retired from another successful relational marketing business. They were looking to combine a new opportunity with promoting better health. Brig had spent years surfing under the hot, unforgiving Florida sun. He wanted to lead a healthier lifestyle, so he started looking into liquid fruit juice. Research led him to MonaVie — a nutritious blend of 19 fruits including the Brazilian açai berry, an antioxidant-rich food. He calls the introduction a “divine appointment.”

Brig had never heard of the company or the product, so along with Lita and his good friend Tim Wilson, the three boarded

a flight to Salt Lake City, Utah, to meet with MonaVie founder and CEO Dallin Larsen. The Harts were impressed with the fruit juice, but even more impressed with Dallin. He encompassed everything they were looking for in a company — integrity, a relationship with Christ and the desire to help people get free. After some initial due diligence and heart searching, Brig and Lita knew this was the company for them.

R3G: Building The IndividualWhen the Harts got back to Florida, they

were fired up. They held their first home meeting on January 16, 2005. It took an entrepreneurial spirit, a vision and hard work, but the couple started building one of the most successful relational marketing teams in the world. In turn, they’ve been rewarded handsomely; everything from millions of dollars in cash to exotic trips to an orange Lamborghini Murcielago. They’ve also enjoyed trips on MonaVie’s private corporate jet and their 100-foot plus private luxury yacht. It’s not just an exceptional life... it’s an exceptional lifestyle.

But it’s not the material things or the money that keep Brig and Lita Hart building at such a phenomenal rate. It’s the ability to help others reach the same level of freedom that they have. They want other couples

to be able to invest their time building a relationship with God and strengthening the relationships within their family. This is why the Harts started the R3Global Total Support System. Brig explains, “R3G is there to help build the individual so that they can in turn build a highly desired and respected business.”

R3Global’s mission is to become one of the leading support systems in the relational marketing industry by providing a complete range of Teaching, Training, Motivation, Inspiration, Communication, Calendar & Events and Promotional Items (the 7 Pillars of Support). Brig wrote the M.A.P. Book (Maximum Action Plan), a step-by-step guide to success in relational marketing. The M.A.P. Book includes the ten activities that when diligently and faithfully followed can assist distributors in attaining the results they desire. Brig explains, “Recruiting and enrolling is one thing. Sponsoring, managing, and maintaining is where the Total Support System comes into play.”

A Brighter FutureAnother way Team R3Global helps

people is by encouraging people to dream. “We enjoy people. We’re not just in the MonaVie business — we’re in the people business. People let circumstances

direct them,” Brig explains. “People lose their vision. They lose their dream.” The Bible says that without a vision the people will perish (Proverbs 29:18). You have to have a dream and a reason to go on and live, not just survive. Brig says, “Success is the progressive realization of a worthwhile goal or dream. This is the premise for all we believe — in helping others to move beyond where they are presently. You really are in charge of your own destiny — success is by choice, not by chance.”

Over the past four years, Team R3Global has established one of the most vibrant and successful organizations in network marketing history. Brig compares this journey to going to the Super Bowl. “You don’t build a championship team that is going to win overnight,” he says. “We’ve invested five years to build this championship team. Everyone’s had to learn how to interact, find their place, learn the plays and run them successfully. My goals are to develop unity, agreement and synergy within our team. Once adopted we will be equipped to win!”

Staying Humble

One of the coolest things about the Harts is their ability to stay humble amidst wild, unparalleled success. They never forget

where they came from. Native Floridians, Brig and Lita grew up in hardworking families. They understood early on that you didn’t have to have a fancy education to succeed in life. You just need an entrepreneurial spirit, a love for people, the willingness to work hard and smart, and a dream of freedom. So when the network marketing industry knocked on their door, they walked through with open minds and open hearts. “We’re just normal people like everyone else,” Lita explains. “We face

the same obstacles everyone else does... but we choose to focus on the possibilities versus the challenges. Hope for the future produces power in the present!” Brig shares that “People have to dream to eliminate the negative in their lives and promote the positive. Success is only a decision away. It’s a journey, not a destination. It’s kind of like the never ending story.”

So what’s next for Brig and Lita Hart? “Our best years are ahead of us — being more, doing more, giving more and

becoming more is our mandate. We are so blessed to be in this position in our lives,” Brig says. “Ninety-nine point nine percent of all success is attitude. If you think you can, then you can. God knows where He’s going to take us next. I don’t know, but I have an idea it’s further than we’ve gone thus far. We love doing what we’re doing. We don’t HAVE to do this. We GET to do this.” TCM

R3GLOBAL ACHIEVERS


NNothing will slow down the Merritts. The couple traveled the globe in 2009 building their MonaVie business in Australia, Israel, Canada, Poland, and England. Treasure Chest Magazine caught up with Steve and Gina enjoying the Reef Towers Penthouse at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in Paradise Island, Bahamas with their three daughters Mia, Chloe, Raimi and son Blake. They were enjoying their Royal Black Diamond Incentive Trip, which is just one of the many perks the Merritts have enjoyed as one of MonaVie’s most successful couples.

A Driving “Why”

If you’ve ever heard Steve and Gina talk at a major R3Global function or if you’ve met them on a personal level (they are an extremely approachable couple), then you know that these two make a great team. They met back in 1985 at a record store. Gina was about to give up on finding a soulmate when Steve came into her life. “He said he was praying for a Christian girl and I was praying for a Christian guy,” she remembers. They spent the next 20 plus years raising four kids and working to support their family — Gina as a flight attendant and Steve as a World Champion and professional barefoot water skier turned sales rep.

Steve actually negotiated his way out of high school. He told his teachers “If you don’t pass me I am coming back,” and then went water skiing for 20 years. “Even though I do not have an education, Gina and I have had big dreams our entire life and we’ve never been afraid to work hard,“ Steve explains. “I paid $300 a month to work at my first Ski School driving the boat and teaching all day, then washed dishes in the evening to pay to work at the Ski School. Gina had three jobs when I first met her.” The Merritts feel

that “praying like it depends on God and working like it depends on you” is key in having a successful MonaVie business.

In August of 2005, Gina had just taken a 50 percent pay cut at her job when the Merritts received a phone call from Bob and Linda Robinson. They introduced them to the MonaVie opportunity. “My main focus when I started was to bring Gina home from work,” Steve remembers. “That has been my dream for the 23 years we have been married. I believe you need to start with a dream that will make you cry and watching my wife cry, as she left her kids for three to four days at a time as a flight attendant, will motivate most husbands. We moved all the way through the ranks for that simple ‘why.’” Steve’s referring to R3Global Crowne Black Diamond status — a prestigious and well-deserved honor that took the couple 36 months to reach and includes a $1 Million bonus check and an exotic car of your choice. In this case,

they picked a lime green Lamborghini Murcielago.

Though the couple’s original “why” was to bring Gina home from work (they replaced her income within six weeks and Steve’s within six months), it’s not what keeps them still building today. “Our next ‘why’ is to bring our friends home from work so that they can travel and spend time with their family and not have to worry about paying the bills anymore,” Steve says. “By getting involved in your friends’ lives and focusing on their needs, you forget about your own situation. We really enjoy the fight, or should I say, journey of helping our friends win big with this MonaVie opportunity. I’m not really great about coming out from behind a bush with my cooler bag and a bottle saying ‘MonaVie’ to people, so I had to get uncomfortable and start talking because my ‘why’ was so big. I had to get Gina home from work and I truly believed I could do it with using the

MonaVie Opportunity and the R3Global Support System.”

So what’s made this couple so successful? Well, other than their innate ability to work as a team, it’s their positive attitude and infectious energy — especially Gina’s. “Gina is one of the most excited people I know,” Steve confesses. “I have heard folks say they are not into all the hype. My take on that is, if folks can get so excited about your local sports team that they paint themselves in the team colors, you can surely find a few people that will get fired up about getting out of rush hour traffic and the daily grind to spend more time with their family and friends.”

“In this business you are in business for yourself, but not by yourself; you have to take ownership of your MonaVie Business. Our upline helped us get moving in the right direction by pointing to the R3G Support System as well as encouraged us, but they did not build our business for us.” Steve and Gina explain, “We had to get out there and make it happen for our family’s financial freedom. When people told us it would never work and we couldn’t do it, we had to have a dream big enough to get past their skepticism.”

Build Locally and Think GloballySteve and Gina spent their first few years

building their MonaVie business locally in the state of Florida and traveling around the United States before MonaVie and R3Global called them to the four corners of the world. “People have been asking me since I started four years ago, ‘Can you help me internationally? When is this country or that one going to open?’” Steve says. In America, he would point them to the R3Global Matrix System for guidance, but the rest of the world wasn’t set up like that yet. Now, with the help of the Merritts and the Harts, MonaVie and R3Global are moving into key countries across the planet where the leadership agrees to work within the R3Global International guidelines.

The Merritts recently traveled to Australia for the Asia-Pacific Conference. “We went there to help support the other part of the world,” Steve explains. “We guided and told them where they can find the ‘How To’ within the R3Global system. The digital age is upon us and R3Global has the answer with their R3G Virtual Training website and platform. Steve admits that, internationally, the business is still in its infancy stage so there is a lot of room to grow. That’s why he and Gina are busy traveling the world — it takes a leader to lead. They encourage

people to follow where the R3G leaders are building and to focus on those countries which will get R3G support.

“If you have ever been in business for yourself, you know that the bigger your business gets, the more overhead you have and the bigger the headaches. Think about this: Gina and I now have a residual income and have the same three-case overhead as we did when we first got started. Eventually, the goal for everyone on the R3Global team is to have a business that never sleeps, so your business is running 24 hours a day. While you’re sleeping, you’re getting paid,” Steve says. “I don’t want anyone thinking they’re too late to be successful in this business. We’re just getting started. We have barely even begun nationally or internationally.”

We Are OneWhile most cultures differ, Steve and Gina

find that people around the world are all motivated by the same thing — a willingness to fight for their dream and for their family. “All of the people in these different countries are kind-hearted folks who have a big dream,” Steve admits. “Just because they speak a different language doesn’t mean they don’t want more for their family and friends.” They also find a similarity in the

[Pictured from left to right] R3Global Crowne Black Diamond Executives Steve and Gina Merritt on the boardwalk in the Bahamas; Steve and Gina enjoyingthe Bahama’s coast; Steve and Gina with their children, Mia, Chloe, Raimi and Blake [Below] The Merritts having fun at the Atlantis Resort on Paradise Island.


way business is conducted. “It’s no different anywhere around the world. You start out with tasting parties, do the basics and follow the R3Global Support System.” That is exactly how they started Canada, with a small Tasting Party, and now it is one of MonaVie’s biggest countries.

During this recent trip to the Bahamas, the Merritts were able to spend a week catching up. The kids are almost as busy as their parents — Raimi’s been traveling the world for her professional wakeboarding career (read about it on page 88), Chloe’s in Bible school in Georgia, Mia’s going to art school for fashion design and Blake’s going to school, wakeskating and hanging out with his Black Lab, Lambo (named after the family’s Lamborghini). The Merritts spent the week in paradise relaxing, shopping, tubing, going down waterslides, playing on the rope bridge over “Predator Pool” and riding water bikes. Steve and Gina even got a romantic night together.

As for their business, “We’re more fired up than ever. We believe we’re just getting started,” Steve explains. “Now’s the time to get serious about taking charge of your family’s financial freedom. There’s never been a better time to build a MonaVie business. We are looking to break 2,000 New Diamonds and take MonaVie to a

$5 Billion Company. The second big wave of MonaVie has already begun. It will be a tsunami five times bigger than the first wave — many distributors will get caught up in the momentum and momentum is everything!” One thing’s for sure, Steve and Gina are on a mission to help their friends reach their goals and dreams by taking MonaVie to a level that no other

networking company has ever reached. The question is: will you be part of this exciting journey? They are looking for people who want to make a difference in the world by taking advantage of the MonaVie opportunity using the R3Global Support System and they encourage you to join them. TCM

WWhen Holly Roush started making a thousand dollars a week building a successful relational marketing business, her husband Corbin wasn’t on board. When she handed him a $17,000 check to pay off one of their cars, he still resisted. It wasn’t until the couple took an intimate Black Diamond Destination trip to Costa Rica that he saw the need for them to build it as a team. A few years later, the Roush’s are one of the most successful sales teams in the industry — prestigious R3Global Presidential Black Diamond Executives.

I knew that they weren’t getting the nutrition that they needed,” Holly says. “I wasn’t taking the time to cut up all of their servings of fruit, and even if I did, that wasn’t going to be what they grabbed.” MonaVie became an easy solution to fulfill the daily recommendation of antioxidants.

While Holly was excited about the product, she wasn’t thrilled about getting involved in “network” marketing, but she just couldn’t shake her enthusiasm for the health possibilities. So she sat down and immediately wrote a list of the friends and family she wanted to share it with. The business started growing exponentially. “When I got involved, the company was only about eight or nine months old,” Holly remembers. “I didn’t even know about the financial success other distributors were having.” But it wasn’t long before the Roush’s started receiving checks for Holly’s efforts.

Corbin certainly enjoyed the new income, but he still wasn’t convinced. “The turning point was when I met Steve Merritt, Charlie Kalb, Bob Robinson and Brig Hart,” he says. “I really got to hear their hearts and how they were building this business. It became an eye-opener that I needed to do this.”

About a month later, Corbin’s boss told him he would have to cut his salary by two-thirds. The couple was making three times more in MonaVie than Corbin was at his job, so he quit and took full ownership of their relational marketing business. “I tell people that you can build this by yourself — I proved that can happen — but if you’re married and you can bring your spouse on board, it’s so much more fun to do it together,” Holly says of her husband of 16 years.

More Time for Family TimeThe Roush’s are enjoying immense

financial freedom while living a debt-free

life. Holly says, “It’s not about going out and buying a ton of stuff, it’s about getting your cars and your home paid off.” Other than earning a generous income, the Roush’s are able to spend more time with each other and their three kids, calling this past year the “most peaceful and relaxing time of their lives.”

A New GenerationWhile their lives have changed, so has

the business. Holly and Corbin agree; when they first got started, they saw a lot of “sippers” and not a lot of builders. That’s transformed. Corbin says now, more than ever, it’s important to nurture your new distributors. “Don’t just throw them in and hope they get started, but invest time with each and every person,” he says. “This thing’s big. It’s going to be around for years and years and years to come.” TCM

SSouth African cleric and Nobel Peace Prize winner Desmond Tutu once said, “You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gifts to you, as you are to them.” R3Global Royal Black Diamonds Charlie and Debbie Kalb know a lot about this — they surround themselves with the unconditional love of family everyday.

Keeping it in the FamilyBefore their relational marketing

introduction, Charlie spent 35 years working in real estate while Debbie owned her own hair salon for 20. Brig Hart, a close

friend for nearly two decades, knew that the Kalbs worked well as a team — that’s why he came calling with the MonaVie and R3Global opportunity. “I’m looking at something that can help people and make some money,” Brig told Charlie during that first call. By Brig’s third call, he offered to pay their enrollment fee, so Charlie said, “Well, it’s your money.”

When the Kalbs decided to start working the business, they flew out to Salt Lake City

for the first corporate function. While there, they felt an infectious excitement and positive energy and immediately wanted their whole family involved. Now, their son-in-laws and daughters help with the daily workings of the business while their granddaughters help with the smaller tasks.

“[As a] matter-of-fact, last night, we all flew on the MonaVie jet to Hammond, LA, and my grandbabies went and they were the juice girls. It was a one-hour flight there and a one-hour flight home. We were in bed before midnight. It’s pretty cool,” Charlie says of one of the most prestigious

incentive rewards offered by a relational marketing company.

Life’s RewardsFlying on a private jet’s not bad, but

it’s the life-long dreams that Charlie and Debbie have been able to fulfill that really keeps them building. “Our lifestyle’s been enriched by making money, but the things that are important to us have stayed the same,” Charlie says. “We’ve stayed

focused on God, Family and Country.”With the success of their business

supported by the R3Global Total Support System, the Kalbs were able to fulfill their two biggest dreams. First, they bought a home on Anna Maria Island off the Gulf Coast of Florida to fulfill Charlie’s dream of being on the water. Next, they fulfilled Debbie’s dream of owning a home in the mountains by buying a lot on Lake Lure in North Carolina where the movie Dirty Dancing was filmed.

Enjoy the Journey to Enjoy the Reward

While the rewards are a great incentive to work hard and get your team building, Charlie stresses that you must enjoy the journey before you can enjoy the reward. That, and stay humble. “You’re being acknowledged every night that you’re something special — it is very, very tough to stay humble,” he admits of being an esteemed Royal Black Diamond Executive. “That’s why I keep my family together and keep them close because it keeps us accountable. They don’t care that you’re something special out there — they’re going to tell you the way it is.”

“We’re blessed to be a part of this business. If you don’t stay humble, you start thinking that you’re the reason that you’re succeeding, but we know that nobody could do what we’ve done without the Lord on our side,” Charlie explains. “It’s been an incredible journey. We’re looking forward to the years to come. We’re not slowing down, but we’re doing more things in order than we’ve ever done. You need to enjoy the journey because if you don’t, getting there won’t be what you thought it would be.” TCM

SScott and Sue Olsen are no strangers to relational marketing. In fact, they have a total of 31 years experience in the industry. But it wasn’t until MonaVie and R3Global blessed their lives that they fully understood the power of building a business through people. The Olsens have gone through a lot in the past few years. They became the very first distributors in the history of

MonaVie — then Scott survived a tragic ski accident that left the couple in financial ruin — and they currently travel the globe introducing the purple super juice to every corner of the world.

New BeginningsAlthough the Olsens had previous

relational marketing experience, none proved as successful or rewarding as

MonaVie and R3Global. In July of 2003, the couple heard that Dallin Larsen was starting a new company. “The company didn’t even exist. It was just a vision,” Scott says. But after a few years of hard work and due diligence, they launched in January of 2005.

“It wasn’t easy in the very beginning,” Scott remembers. “There was no product,

there was no company name, there were no brochures, there were no materials, there was no corporate headquarters and there was no track record.” But the couple persevered. They walked around with empty bottles, trying to sell people on the notion that one day the bottle would have juice in it and MonaVie would become a multi-billion dollar company.

Overcoming An ObstacleIn the thick of building the business, Scott

had a tragic skiing accident that left the couple in a few hundred thousand dollars of medical debt. But they didn’t let this enormous obstacle squash their dreams. Instead, they let it become the flame that would ignite their hard work, determination and unwillingness to look back or give up.

“It’s an amazing story and it’s changed our family’s life,” Scott shares. “We started humble, right here in our own home — with Tasting Parties and showing people the program.” Soon the Olsens found themselves reaching out beyond their community to other states and, now, to other countries. They travel around the world to countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, Israel and Brazil. “Wherever the leadership emerges... that’s where we go. We work with those leaders who have the same vision and the same desire that we do,” Scott says.

And they teach those leaders the same set of skills that they’ve learned from the R3Global Total Support System. Scott explains, “R3Global has had a tremendous impact on the overall growth of not only our business, but the overall growth of the company that is MonaVie.” Sue agrees, “It provides people not only the tools to build their business, but the tools to come full circle in their lives: financially, relationship-wise, physically and spiritually.”

In their free time, Scott and Sue enjoy the mountains near their home in Utah. They ski, ride mules, snowmobile and four wheel with their kids and grandkids. This is one couple who has truly learned the meaning of a glass half full — even when they’re trying to sell an empty bottle. TCM

R3GLOBAL ACHIEVER


RRon Prudhomme was head under water. He was growing weary of long hours spent working the heating and air company he owned for over 28 years and was starting to think there must be more to life. This was March 2005, around the same time Ron had a chance meeting with his good friend R3Global Black Diamond Todd Smith. The guys pulled up next to each other at a stoplight. “I was extremely busy that day, as I was every other day,” Ron says. “Todd blew his horn and flashed his bottle of MonaVie around. He pulled me over right there and talked to me about the juice.”

Apprehensive at first, Ron became interested in the health benefits — especially of the glucosamine in MonaVie Active that supports healthy joint function. He enrolled on the spot and went to tell his friends about the product. “I didn’t call them. I just went wherever they were, talked with them and placed a bottle.” At that time, what Ron didn’t realize was this was going to be a situation where his previous business experience would actually hurt his efforts.

Traditional Business vs. Relational Marketing

“Being in the corporate world, being self-employed and having a traditional company then building my MonaVie relational business has changed my outlook on what business truly is,” he says. “This is the purest form of free enterprise.” Ron admits building a relational marketing business takes a commitment of time and a commitment of work, but once you build it — you will be rewarded handsomely.

At first, Ron tried to apply his own business knowledge, but the growth became stagnant. “I failed totally,” he says honestly. “I did not follow my business partners like Brig [Hart] and Charlie [Kalb] or the M.A.P. Book because I didn’t feel that there was

a need for it. I was a business owner and I thought I understood all forms of business. I was way off-base.”

Becoming a LeaderSo Ron decided to

ask Brig Hart for help. Brig told him to read the M.A.P. Book and start building a depth to his business — thus, becoming a leader. That’s when Ron plugged into the R3Global Total Support System and started “racking up the pins.” He went Black Diamond in 14 months and was able to sell his heating and air business. “It was like taking a load of concrete off my shoulders,” Ron remembers. “It was the sweetest day of my life. I didn’t know how much I wanted to leave it until that day.” He was finally free from his prison of owning a small business.

Now, a prestigious R3Global Royal Black Diamond Executive, Ron has found that dreams change. At first, he was looking to spend more time with his family. Once he achieved that, his dream started to become about a big house, cars and toys. But that faded quickly. Ron realized there was much more to this opportunity than material possessions. “I started to focus on the people and I started to build relationships,” he says. “It’s not necessarily about you

anymore. You’ve already achieved financial freedom. Now it’s time to help the people that you love achieve it.”

“How many cars are you able to have? How many countries are you able to visit? How many trips are you able to make?” he asks. “You want your friends with you at this time. It becomes about the people.” TCM

THE PUREST FORM OF FREE ENTERPRISE
