Joseph Jaylo on taking actions for his dreams

Everybody has their dream, a dream that you
can realized by working smart and hard for it or rather,  a dream that will just be a dream without doing anything. When I was in college I became a working student, I worked on a certain agency as a product endorser to support my studies. It's hard because I need to manage my time but I have no choice I need to do it to support myself. At the middle of the semester, something went wrong, instead of using my allowance for my studies I have to give part of it to my mom to supply the needs in our home until I decided to stop going to school and work to provide for our families needs. I worked on a production company for a year. When I was in that company my brother told me to sell USANA products so that I can have extra income and that's what I did. While I'm doing it, I notice that it was good because one of my co-worker tried the product and he saw the goodness of the product. He's been more productive and kind of more energetic and I said to myself, "It's not really hard to sell the products because the product can speak for itself through the results". So when my contract was finished I started doing the Usana business and now I'm very happy that I'm a part of this growing team. My brother has just bought his new car, and I was really excited with the possibilities that could happen in my life. Now, I'm being mentored by leaders who are successful and I can say that it's great to be mentored by people with results. Professional people who choose to live their life as an entrepreneur and not as an employee and I'm learning a lot from them.

"Dreams are illustrations from the book your soul is writing about you". And it is the reason why I joined my team XTRM 1-11.

I believe that I deserve a better life like everyone has and I believe that every hardship in life is worth it when you reach the peak of success, with the push of the great people around me.

 

A dream that needs to be realized with massive action and help with my mentors. A very exciting journey ahead of me. - Joseph

Supplement Spotlight: Calcium for Better Bones

Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is essential to building strong, dense bones when you're young and to keeping them strong and healthy as you age.

Calcium is a mineral that is necessary for life. In addition to building bones and keeping them healthy, calcium helps our blood clot, nerves send messages and muscles contract . About 99 percent of the calcium in our bodies is in our bones and teeth. Each day, we lose calcium through our skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and feces, but our bodies cannot produce new calcium. Women lost calcium through menstruation and pregnancy that's why it is really important too for women.

That’s why it’s important to try to get calcium from the food we eat. When we don’t get enough calcium for our body’s needs, it is taken from our bones. But are we getting the right amount of calcium from the food that we eat? And do we monitor it? For today's blog I'm giving a link to our corporate office blog for Calcium, "Calcium for better bones"written by Emily Alaniz. Let's protect our bones. :) Gob bless.

People Spotlight: Jeremiah Bolivar

One of my mentor ask me, why am I doing Usana? What got me into this? First of all the reason why I'm doing Usana is because of my mother. Before taking the product my mother was suffering from diabetes and it helped her and lowered her sugar cravings and another thing is because of the current situation that we have in my family. My father is a taxi driver and his daily income can't afford to send us to college and it's only enough to feed us for a day and sometimes we only eat twice a day. That time I realized and I said to myself that someday I will be successful, the situation that I'm experiencing today will not be my future . I have many dreams and one of my dream is to help and support our church in Cavite specially my Pastor . First I thank God for this opportunity and I thank also Usana because at my young age it was presented to me by my close friend and I thank him also for introducing me to this industry . Years ago I didn't expect that someday I'll be into business and building a team with great and passionate minds . That time I don't know how, when and where to start the business but thanks to my team we set goals and we didn't stop until we get it, we set our direction . Now it's almost a year since I started doing the business . There have been many rejections and disappointments but it didn't hindered me to achieve my dreams and it help me to improve myself . There are many improvements in my life and in my family's health specially my parents and now I'm happy that I am part of XTRM 111 and also our team here in Cavite. Opportunities are never lost; someone will take the one you miss and that opportunity that someone missed is now on my hands . I'm grateful that I'm on my way to success, learning from the best, seeking mentorship to those powerful great speakers that normally I wouldn't dare talk to. For those who are reading this article,  I dare you don't wait for opportunities you have to jump for opportunities and eventually you'll achieve your dreams. I'm very excited in my future ahead of me with this company. - Jeremiah

Why Do We Need a Deep Why in Doing a Business?

Hi Guys! For those who are already a part of my team and for those who are thinking of doing a business, we need to have a strong foundation or a very deep why in doing a business. It drives you and motivates you in achieving your goals and dreams. It gives you passion. Here's my video training of Why do We Need a Deep Why in Doing a Business in Filipino language. I'll be posting an English version as well soon or probably one of my team leaders.

Supplement Spotlight: Bring on the BiOmega Fish Oil

Omega-3 fatty acids helps support heart, bone, joint, skin, brain and even your mood.
The question is which sources of omega-3 is positively good for you? But for our money, fish oil is still the ideal choice.

There are lots of good pills or tablets out there and some looks like a fantastic deal, but to get the same EPA and DHA as you would get from one daily dose of USANA BiOmega™ fish oil supplement, you’d have to take about five capsules a day. And you’d have to spend over $200 a month! That's too much! And from my experience, people say that you can get the omega-3s you need from a healthy diet or from a wild-caught salmon everyday. But what about the toxins that we may occasionally encounter? You don't want any mercury from over consumption of fish.

With Usana's Biomega, everything is tested thoroughly. It's FDA approved and tested and certified by NSF a leading provider of independent test result. It went and undergo a process called Double Molecular Distillation, it is fortified with Vitamin D, has no fishy aftertaste and provides 1050mg of EPA+DHA in only 2 capsules. USANA’s fish oil supply is Marine Stewardship Council certified. MSC-labeled products come from, and can be traced back to, sustainable fisheries. Yay! You'll love the taste too because of the added lemon oil.

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Paul Jaylo preparing for
his Power Presentation.

Being in our nice comfy comfort zone; it is what prevents us from pursuing our dreams and achieving the goals that we want.  The good news is that your zone isn’t a jail you can't break out of; it is a place that you've created over time and can be left behind if you want to.  You are free to leave anytime, but you have to be ready and be committed to changing.







Below is a step-by-step guide to breaking out of your comfort zone and growing your business.

1.  Understand the return on investment (ROI) in stepping out of your comfort zone. Some of these benefits include standing out in a crowd, overcoming your fear, trying new things, and learning more. Imagine what these benefits can do for your business.

2. Identify someone in your field that you look up to and admire. List that person’s qualities and accomplishments.  Cross out the ones that you have in common.  From the items that remain, rank them in order of importance to you.  You now have a set of objectives to start on, so take them one step at a time.  What can you do right now to begin to achieve the first one on your list?

3. Put all your cards on the table.  Fear is the most powerful emotion, so assess what you are afraid of that has prevented your business growth.  Pledge to yourself to jump in head first. For example, if the idea of public speaking makes you want to run for the hills, call your local library and set up a workshop.  The venue is small, but will force you to face your fear and make it easier to do again.

4. Expect and embrace change.  The nature of our comfort zones is that they are predictable.  Even if what you are doing on a regular basis is making you money, you may be leaving a lot of money on the table if you don’t try something new.  Adjust your mindset to one that willingly accepts change because stepping out of your comfort zone will bring about a great deal of it.

5. Visualize yourself doing it.  Whatever it may be that you are afraid of doing, close your eyes for a few minutes and picture yourself doing it successfully.  The mind is a very powerful thing, and by continually focusing yourself toward the positive, you will be more likely to achieve your goals.

6. Work backwards.  When developing a plan of action, pinpoint your endgame first.  When you have an outcome in mind, your actions will be more specific and effective.  Furthermore, you will be better able to stay motivated while working toward that end.

Billy dela Fuente, focus on where you want to go.

USANA Canada: The Next Generation of Top Athletes

Where will future Team USANA athletes originate? How about the world champions of dance, skiing, waterskiing, swimming, horseback riding and more?

I believe some of the finest future athletes in the world are already in the USANA family. Last week we introduced you to a few. Today we will share two more stories.

Financial freedom and a healthy USANA lifestyle enable many USANA Associates to dedicate time and financial resources to sports and activities their children enjoy.

We asked several USANA Canada Associates how USANA has helped them and how has that enabled their kids to excel and participate in recreational activities. Their answers highlight how USANA improves lives of not only the Associates but also greatly enriches the lives of their children — future champions.

This is the second installment. Read the first post featuring other potential future USANA champions.

Lavender and Winslowe

Lavender Morantz, Ruby Director

Self-described serial entrepreneur Lavender Morantz began her career with USANA not long before she learned she was pregnant with her daughter.

Winslowe, who is now 3 years old, is the epitome of a USANA baby.

“She’s healthy, bright, sassy and always happy,” Lavender says. “She is very active, and very interested in … well, everything. I am so grateful for her radiant health every day. She’s absolutely the love of my life!”

Winslowe loves to be active. She currently does ballet, swims, skis, plays the piano and adores camping. “I

Winslowe is in pre-school now, but any time mother and daughter want, they can take a day, week, or month off together to do the things they enjoy. The year Winslowe turned 1, they took 12 trips together in 12 months.

“There are only so many firsts you get to witness as a mom, and I don’t want to miss a thing,” Lavender says.

Lavender has been an athlete much of her life: competitive show jumping, dressage, ballet, gymnastics, board sports of every kind — and the list goes on. It’s surely rubbing off on Winslowe.

Lavender’s happy to be in the best health of her life, and she never imagined feeling better in her 30s than she ever did in her teens or 20s. “It allows me to keep up with my wild little girl, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“The values kids learn at a young age stay with them for life, and I am so grateful that our health and our freedom are front and center thanks to USANA,” Lavender says.

Shirlea Frederick, Gold Director

Shirlea Frederick’s sister and 3-Star Diamond Director Susanne Cunningham introduced her to USANA in 1995. Three years later Shirlea was raising three young children, including daughter Alexis.

“As my business continued to grow, Alexis’ love of dance grew,” Shirlea says. “Each year as she added more dance classes and more dance trips, my USANA income also continued to grow. Much of the income I earned was invested in her dance career.”

The flexibility a home-based business offers allowed for the stay-at-home mom to shuttle Alexis to her many dance classes and to take part in her daughter’s growing passion.

As Alexis has grown as a dancer — and has done many solos in ballet, hip hop and jazz — the time commitment for her to practice has grown and the financial investment has increased as well.

“The USANA income has totally been the income that has allowed Alexis to be able to dance in so many disciplines and travel to the many cities she has travelled,” Shirlea says.

Dancing has helped shape Alexis’ life and she has grown up to be a self-confident young woman who works hard and has developed amazing poise and public-speaking abilities.

“She has learned what it takes to work hard and the pride she can have when she works hard and accomplishes her dreams,” Shirlea says. “She has learned to sacrifice some things in life for the sake of her dance career and the rewards that come with working hard for a dream and a goal.”

For Shirlea, USANA has changed her life in that it allowed her the time and financial freedom to help her children fulfill their dreams of the sporting activities they have loved to do. And for Alexis, in particular, it’s allowed her to dance as much as she wants and to travel extensively the past five years to further her dance career.

“My commitment to continue working at my USANA business comes from wanting to give my children the best that they can have in life, including a wonderful dance career that will have memories for Alexis for a lifetime!” Shirlea says.
