USANA HEALTH SCIENCES WAS FOUNDED IN 1992. SO SURE, WE’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE, BUT WE LOOK GREAT FOR OUR AGE. AND YEAH, A LOT OF OTHER COMPANIES MAY BE YOUNGER. YOU MAY HAVE EVEN MET SOME OF THESE COMPANIES, AND MAYBE YOU’VE HAD HIGH HOPES FOR THEM. BUT THEN YOU DIG DEEPER AND REALIZE THERE’S NOTHING UNDERNEATH THEIR FAÇADE. MAKES THEM SEEM A LITTLE LESS ATTRACTIVE, RIGHT?
successes during this time included the first commercially available diagnostic test for Epstein-Barr virus, better known as the virus that causes mononucleosis.
YEAH, YOU DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT WITH US.
And he founded USANA Health Sciences to help further his dream by providing people all over the world with the most advanced supplements science can produce.

This is why USANA is a company based on continuous product innovation. This is why our products are of the highest quality. This is why we have stringent manufacturing processes, ongoing scientific research, and an insatiable drive to produce exceptional products. This is why USANA is trusted by professional athletes and Olympians, but also everyday people who believe health is a vital part of a long, happy life. This is why USANA is not just another direct selling business.
Easy. We were founded by an actual scientist—not C M Y a K corporate suit. 0
But success was never Dr. Wentz’ aim. Instead, he centered his life around a dream—a dream dating back all the way to his teenage years, when his father died at the age of 57 from heart disease. From that defining moment, Dr. Wentz made the decision to dream big; to dream of a world free from pain and suffering. A world free from disease.
We’re in the business of changing lives for the better. And we’re really, really good at it.

THE HEALTHY HOME
A WORLD OF WELLNESS “When introduced to USANA, I realized this company was founded by a renowned scientist; was a company with over 20 years of effective science-based products and accolades; and was a company that was financially stable, publicly-traded, and continues to break sales records quarter after quarter even in a down economy! What really got me excited was although the company had years of credibility, partnerships, stability, awards, and industry respect, it was completely unsaturated and had yet to be a household brand! It’s obvious to me there is absolutely no stopping USANA from becoming the world leader in wellness products. As an Associate, nothing gets me more excited than to watch my business and lifestyle grow as this comes to fruition!”
The New York Times bestselling book, co-authored by USANA CEO Dave Wentz and USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz, continues to build on the USANA vision by highlighting hidden household toxins and offering simple ways to make the home a healthier place for you and your family.

USANA PARTNERS WITH LINUS PAULING INSTITUTE USANA Health Sciences and the Linus Pauling Institute (LPI) have worked together to better determine the role that vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants play in promoting optimal health. LPI, one of the nation’s first Centers of Excellence for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine, has been a world leader in the science of micronutrition. USANA hopes to continue to support research at LPI to leverage the true synergy between basic and applied research in human nutrition.
DR. MEHMET OZ’ FOUNDATION, HEALTHCORPS, AND USANA UNITE FOR CHARITY
TEAMED WITH TOSH The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital (TOSH), located in Murray, Utah, is one of the country’s premier facilities for orthopedic surgical care, rehabilitation and physical therapy, sports performance training, and nutrition counseling. Through TOSH’s collaborative relationship with USANA, the hospital has been able to streamline a series of studies being conducted in young athletes, athletes recovering from anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery, patients with knee osteoarthritis, and patients recovering from knee replacement surgery. These studies, funded in part by both USANA and the Intermountain Research and Medical Foundation, are well on their way to making real, positive differences in the lives of others.
What happens when an organization founded by America’s favorite doctor teams up with the world’s finest supplement company? A healthy and charitable winning combination! So how did the dynamic duo of Dr. Mehmet Oz’ HealthCorps and USANA come to be? The answer is a common goal and a driving force to make the world a happier, healthier place. Dr. Myron Wentz and Dave Wentz are extraordinary humanitarians. With the creation of the USANA True Health Foundation, USANA has been able to donate emergency items and aid in good health for people, especially children, all over the world. The mission of USANA’s True Health Foundation lines up perfectly with that of the HealthCorps Foundation—created by world-renowned Cardio Thoracic Surgeon and two-time Emmy Award-winning talk show host Dr. Mehmet Oz and his wife,
USANA TRUE HEALTH FOUNDATION The USANA True Health Foundation began operations in 2012. Dr. Myron Wentz, USANA’s founder, and USANA CEO Dave Wentz, created the Foundation to enable the USANA family to expand and enhance their on-going charitable efforts. Your donation to the USANA True Health Foundation will go to one of three areas: Area of Greatest Need, the Sanoviv Medical Assistance Program, or Children’s Hunger Fund. You are welcome to select which area you would like your donation to benefit. USANA Health Sciences has pledged to cover any and all other costs associated with the functioning of this
producer, writer, and TV news contributor, Lisa Oz. HealthCorps was created to fight against teenage obesity, one of the most pressing health issues in the United States. With teen mentoring, HealthCorps teaches young people how to become educated consumers and make healthy food choices. The relationship is a natural fit, with HealthCorps and USANA having a shared interest in spreading health. It was apparent from their first meeting that Dr. Oz had done his homework on Dr. Wentz. He wanted to know everything about Dr. Wentz’ research on optimal cellular health. The two hit it off immediately. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship built on absolute mutual respect. “It’s been fantastic getting to know Dr. Oz better and better, realizing the same

philosophies he follows, we follow. And so we feel the power of working together. That we can do a lot more working together than we can do apart,” says USANA CEO Dave Wentz. Now USANA and HealthCorps have the ability to leverage resources and experience maximum impact on the lives of teens. The goal is to create the healthiest families on earth, and when it comes to that, two heads are better than one. Dr. Oz expresses his gratitude to USANA. “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for trusting us in this relationship. You’re a lot more of a foundation supporter in this endeavor than you could ever imagine, and it means the world to us that you trust us enough and we can embark on this voyage together.”

FIVE REASONS TO MAKE USANA YOURS TOTAL FREEDOM.
UNLIMITED ENERGY.
Want extra time to do the things you love? How about some extra cash? Maybe you want the chance to be a part of something larger than yourself, or maybe you’re just interested in being the healthiest person you can be. Maybe you simply want the chance to live life on your own terms. Whatever kind of freedom you’re looking for— USANA can help you achieve it.
When USANA Associates, employees, and the management team get together, the passion is electrifying. And that’s not just us talking. USANA’s International Convention, the biggest USANA event each year, has earned the Stevie Award for the Best Live Event—twice. And at USANA events like Super Saturdays, XRCs, retreats, and trainings, you’ll feel camaraderie that can only come from being a part of the USANA family.
NUTRITION FOR YOU, DESIGNED BY YOU. Everyone is different. So why take the same supplements as the next guy?

because you know it doesn’t matter.
Then USANA is your company. We’re your path, your gateway to a future unbounded by the rules and regulations society has created.

I am a product of the product! “Most people fear the aging process, but I look forward to it! Most give up on health as they age, but I won’t have that attitude. I want to get leaner, jump higher, run faster, and be healthier. I know USANA can help make it possible. “You only get one body. Don’t compromise!” Jordan Kemper Illinois, USA USANA Associate

FOR EVERYONE CREATING A FOUNDATION By Christine Wood, MD, USANA Scientific Advisory Council, practicing pediatrician, author of How to Get Kids to Eat Great and Love It! and www.kidseatgreat.com Every day in my office, I see busy working moms bringing their sick children in for appointments, and they want them to get
better fast. Many times, there is frustration because their children are sick so often, and this has them questioning themselves and me: “What else can I do?” There are some easy steps you can take. Hand washing, reducing exposure to other sick kids, good sleep habits, and eating a balanced diet are all important in keeping children healthy. Proper nutrition in the developmental years is
also essential for creating a foundation of good health throughout life. However, nearly two-thirds of children do not get the right amounts of many essential nutrients, and almost a quarter of the vegetables consumed by children and teens are in the form of French fries! High-quality nutritional supplementation throughout childhood can help ensure that growing bodies get the nutrition they need.
FOCUSED ON FAMILY Ellis & Roy Ninonuevo California, USA USANA Associates For 19-year-old Roy Allen and his sister, 14-year-old Kristen, living a healthy life is a very well-established habit. Of course it helps when your parents, Ellis and Roy Ninonuevo, are two prominent USANA leaders who are dedicated to ensuring their family is provided with the best possible nutritional products. “Our children were only 7 and 3 when I started with USANA, so they are just accustomed to taking supplements now,” Ellis explains. The Ninonuevo family likes to stay active. Roy enjoys biking, while his wife prefers working out at the gym and participating in pole dancing fitness classes. Roy Allen swims and spends time at the gym, and
USANA FOR ALL GENERATIONS Research shows that many children do not get the nutrition they need. Poor nutrition during the developmental years can slow growth or delay sexual maturation, while proper nutrition gives children and adolescents a foundation for good health for the rest of their lives. To provide their bodies with adequate amounts of all the essential nutrients, parents should implement a well-balanced, proactive nutritional plan that includes high-quality vitamin and mineral supplements in addition to eating a healthy diet.
Kristen is a cheerleader and a member of the Dance Ensemble. The entire family is focused on maintaining their health. “We feel so much healthier now than before USANA,” Roy and Ellis say. “Although we are not perfect, we are more in tune with healthy food choices.” Ellis originally started with USANA so she could use the products, but today she and Roy are proud to be building a USANA lifestyle for their entire family. They know USANA has played a pivotal role in their lives. “I am so grateful I decided to learn more about USANA, the products, and the business,” Ellis says. “Time flexibility and freedom to choose how I run my business are big pluses to me.” Spending time with Roy Allen and Kristen is a top priority for Ellis and Roy, and thanks to USANA, they can make it happen. “As a family, we have traveled with USANA and created fond memories together,” they say. “We are definitely with USANA for life!”

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH Countless studies have shown that the key to a longer health span lies in choosing a lifestyle that supports optimal health. And luckily, you’re in control. Youthful vitality, no matter your age, comes as a result of the positive choices you make daily to protect your body’s cells. Things like diet, quality supplementation, exercise, proper hydration, and skin care all impact our ability to live life to its full potential.
These positive health choices take on more importance when we’re confronted with the realities of the world around us. Public health scientists have found new evidence of the threats to our cellular health posed by our toxic environment. The air we breathe, water we drink, and foods we eat contain substances that may be damaging to our cells. Any tissue that is exposed to the environment, including the skin and the linings of the respiratory and gastrointestinal passages may be especially vulnerable.
“The human body is made of cells, and those cells work together to sustain your life,” USANA founder and chairman Dr. Myron Wentz says. Other medical professionals concur on the importance of supplementation. Many researchers believe supplementary antioxidants are necessary for aiding the body’s normal defense systems in combating free radicals. “My father started USANA Health Sciences with a focused vision of freeing the world from pain and suffering,” USANA CEO Dave Wentz says. “He
envisioned a world where people experienced physical health, emotional well-being, and financial stability. He wanted to give his family and families of thousands of others the means to enjoy life to its fullest in happiness and health.” You are in charge of your happiness and health. It starts with the healthy choices you make. Currently, hundreds of thousands of families around the world are supplementing their diets with USANA products, and making the positive choice to pursue a healthier tomorrow.
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE Healthy human cells in culture Laboratory experience and analysis indicate that certain types of healthy cells in culture may survive indefinitely when “nutriented” properly and protected from harmful toxins.

Cellular damage is caused by oxidized lipids from fatty food. Consider that such damage could occur throughout the body.
Antioxidants provide a marked improvement in inhibiting cellular damage from oxidizable foods. Healthier eating habits and proper nutrition are your first line of defense.

BECOMING A USANA FAMILY “When we joined USANA, we had heard about the USANA difference. But when we tried these products, we actually understood the USANA difference. “Mark noticed a change in his energy and, being in the construction industry, these products have really helped him not only feel great on the job, but still feel great when he gets home to his family in the evening. Personally, the USANA products have been of great benefit in my life and they have helped me live a life of wellness and abundance. “It’s comforting to know that our son, Derrick, and any future children are growing up as USANA babies. We are instilling wellness habits that will help them live a life of health and happiness. “We could not be more proud to be part of the USANA family and be living examples of what these products have done for us and can potentially do for others. “For us, USANA’s vision is a way of life.” Lynette & Mark Mast Georgia, USA USANA Associates

THE USANA STANDARD
FROM USANA TO YOU The supplement industry is often given a lot of slack. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t hold dietary supplements to the same quality standard as pharmaceuticals so many products just aren’t what they say they are. The USANA Standard says that’s not good enough. NSF International has certified our good manufacturing practices, and USANA products meet the stringent requirements of both Informed-Choice and HFL Sport Science. Plus, we guarantee that our supplements contain exactly what’s listed on the label.
But that’s not all. Part of having such high standards is having a variety of government agencies periodically drop in to inspect our manufacturing facility. They stop by to make sure we’re meeting the highest standards while we produce our products, and they require strict adherence to certain procedures and documentation. For example, in order to offer products to our Australian Preferred Customers and Associates, we’ve been meeting the rigorous guidelines of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration for years. And USANA also already adheres to a more rigorous quality assurance program in the manufacture of its nutritional supplements by complying with pharmaceutical-level Good Manufacturing Practices, or GMPs.
Did we stop there? Nope. In 2011, USANA took everything a step further. Our manufacturing facility became a registered FDA Drug Establishment. Because USANA has been voluntarily adhering to these FDA standards for years, no changes needed to be made to our manufacturing processes in order to comply with the increased FDA scrutiny. But the new Drug Establishment Registration simply makes things official. Now, this may have you wondering: what about other supplement companies? Do they meet these standards? It’s hard to say. Other supplement companies are only required to follow the FDA’s less stringent dietary supplement standards. And while some other companies out there can say they manufacture their products in a registered FDA Drug
Establishment, many of them outsource the responsibility of manufacturing to a third party vendor. USANA is different in that we take the responsibility of creating the highest-quality supplements upon ourselves. We manufacture the majority of our products in-house at our own state-of-the-art facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. We want to make sure we know exactly what’s going into our products so you can trust you’re getting the best of the best. The amazing quality of our manufacturing processes is just one more way USANA shows its commitment to creating the highest quality products on the market.
HOME COURT ADVANTAGE “The USANA products are my best prospecting tool for new clients. I know I can count on USANA to produce the highest-quality products backed by the best scientific research team. It’s an added plus for me to tell my customers about the advantage of USANA’s in-house manufacturing where they are able to closely monitor and control the quality of our product. Now we can add ‘registered FDA Drug Establishment’ to our long list of incomparable standards. I feel great pride recommending products made from the finest ingredients which are tested under the most rigorous criteria.” Tracy Wenkman Florida, USA USANA Associate

YOUR
WEALTH THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS IS HERE Actually, it’s been here for a while. Maybe you didn’t notice it because of the lack of flash—no shining corporate monoliths shooting higher into the sky or golden parachutes floating safely to the ground. You might have been searching for another big, bold ad or a hot stock symbol. That’s OK. But when you’re looking for the future of business—and the present, really—you have to train your eyes away from the billboards and the TV. You won’t find it there. Try looking closely at your neighbors, friends, and family. There, in the relationships you build with people, you’ll find the present and future of business, and lasting hope for the entrepreneurial spirit. The future of business isn’t in a cubicle on a nondescript floor of a non-descript office building. It’s in your living room, in the strength of people’s convictions, and in
the vision of those looking to make a positive change. Direct selling is the present and the future of business. And there has never been a better time to start. The direct selling industry has been growing steadily, and there is still plenty of room for motivated individuals to experience a life of financial and time freedom. The World Federation of Direct Selling Associations (WFDSA) estimates worldwide retail sales for 2011 at $153.7 billion, and puts the number of people participating in direct selling at 91.5 million. In North America alone, the WFDSA places sales figures at $32 billion. Those are staggering numbers. But the benefits the 91.5 million people are experiencing around the world are even more impressive.
Consider that with direct selling, you have:
Big opportunities for growth and profit with little start-up cost and virtually no overhead. No restrictions on education, experience, age, background, or financial status. The only restriction in direct selling is the amount of effort a given person is willing to put in.
The ability to set your own schedule, and the flexibility and freedom to enjoy life.
That’s why you’ll find the future of business in the faces of people struggling to make ends meet. Single mothers and fathers looking to support their children. Couples burdened with debt. Recent college graduates wading into uncertain economic waters. Retirees looking for a financial security blanket. Direct selling gives you the opportunity to make money and change your life. But, unlike other opportunities, direct selling also allows you to help make positive changes in the lives of others as well.
A chance to grow as a person by overcoming challenges, achieving goals, and getting out of your comfort zone.
And that’s why, even without the flash, the present and future of direct selling—and the future of business in general—looks so bright.
Leveraged income, and the chance to earn money while helping others succeed—instead of earning it because others fail.
LIFE ON THEIR TERMS
Although they had pursued very different careers, Simon and Scott both had a desire for something more. Through USANA, they found their answer. They found financial freedom.
Simon & Kelly Chan and Scott McGee California, USA USANA Associates
Because of USANA, Simon and his wife, Kelly, have traveled the world, and they look forward to creating even more memories together along with their small son, Ethan. And Scott believes USANA has made an insurmountable difference in his family’s life.
Luxury can mean different things to different people, but for Simon Chan, it’s fairly simple. “It’s time,” Simon explains. “Time to do whatever I want when I want.” With that definition, it’s apparent that Simon and his business partner, Scott McGee, are living a luxurious life— and they’re showing others how they can do the same. Both Simon and Scott had big dreams. Simon had a great love for sports, and that passion led him to his dream job as an NBA player agent. But soon, Simon came to a realization. “After eight years in the NBA,” he says, “I realized I was devoting all my time to helping the NBA and the players become wealthy, and I wasn’t generating anything for myself.” Then, there’s Scott, who had grown up in a family that got by on the basics. Wanting
While the unparalleled opportunity for growth and the extra benefits make direct selling the avenue for entrepreneurship now and in the future, it’s the industry’s unique ability to affect positive change that sets it apart.
Simon and Scott could have continued to pursue their prior careers. There’s no doubt they would have been very successful. But at what cost?
to ensure he could provide himself with a decent income, Scott decided to work toward a medical degree. But, like Simon, he discovered his life wasn’t exactly what
he had imagined. “Just because you have all the money in the world doesn’t mean you have the time to create the lifestyle you want,” he says.
These men are just two out of the thousands of people who have come to realize that USANA is the answer to creating wealth on your own terms. The reasons why people choose direct selling vary, but inherent in everyone is a powerful desire to take control of their own life. Saying yes to USANA is the first step.

WHY THE USANA OPPORTUNITY IS THE RIGHT CHOICE By Denis Waitley, Ph.D., an internationally renowned author, keynote speaker, consultant, and former chairman of psychology on the U.S. Olympic Committee’s Sports Medicine Council
In my 30-year career of studying and counseling high-performance professionals and organizations, I have discovered specific criteria that drive the best of the best:
distinct quality advantage A over competitors in products, services, and management.
A rock solid, dynamic business with resources and staying power to thrive in a challenging, changing global market.
Growth and profitability achieved with integrity to create the ultimate bottom line.
An investment in research and development to stay on the cutting edge and maintain superiority.
A clear mission that inspires every team member to strive for excellence.
Compensation and rewards based on individual effort and productivity.
USANA offers all of that, plus a proven direct marketing model destined to be the world-class standard in the new era of professional and social networking. I encourage you to take control of your own future and consider the USANA opportunity.
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE NUMBER OF LEVELS FROM WHICH YOU CAN EARN COMMISSIONS
PUT FINANCIAL FREEDOM WITHIN REACH Life is full of choices. From where you live to what career path you choose, you are in control. But when it comes to your income, you’re at the mercy of the economy, your education level, and the value society puts on your skills. But what if you could be in control of your income? Well, you can be. You have a choice. If you choose to follow a traditional career path, you’ll attend school or receive training. After you earn your degree, you will enter the work force. You’ll be hired into an entry-level position, where you’ll then spend years working your way up the corporate ladder. You will receive a salary that, over time, will likely increase slowly and steadily. But in this scenario, you aren’t in control. Ultimately, someone else is deciding your compensation.
YOU
With a traditional job, you trade your time for money. If you choose direct selling, you are in the driver’s seat of your business. You don’t have to earn a degree. All you have to do is get started. You ultimately decide how many hours you want to spend building a USANA team. You can build part time or full time. You don’t have a boss. You are the boss. With a direct selling business, you trade your effort for money. When you choose USANA, you will build your own organization of independent business builders. As you continue to sell and market USANA’s nutritional and personal care products, you will not only be compensated for what you sell, but also for the efforts of your team.

The USANA Binary Compensation Plan is a system in which you build a balanced left- and right-side downline from your Business Center (BC) for the purpose of selling USANA products. The weekly commissions you earn are based on the balanced Group Sales Volume (GSV) points accumulated in your organization. There is no limit to the number of levels from which you can earn commissions. In addition, a USANA BC allows you to be paid on the Sales Volume created by both your downline Associates and your Preferred Customers. Another powerful advantage of USANA’s program is that there are no monthly GSV requirements. The income you receive from USANA will be in direct proportion to your ability to retail USANA’s products to customers as well as your ability to build an organization of Associates who, like you, sell product to customers and build their own organizations of Associates and customers.
ONCE YOU ARE ENROLLED AS A USANA ASSOCIATE, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM (BDS), WHICH WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT USANA’S COMPENSATION PLAN. For additional questions, please contact your USANA sponsor or visit: www.USANA.com.
TAX ADVANTAGES There are many advantages to having a home-based business. But what about tax benefits? You may be able to deduct the regular expenses incurred by your business, from travel and transportation to business licenses or the cost of entertaining prospects in your home. Contact your tax professional for more information.
Starting a Business Center
One vs Three
Your sponsor places you in an open position in his or her sales organization (Figure 1). This open position in called a Business Center (BC). Each BC has left and right sides in which Sales Volume accumulates. Sales Volume in your organization accumulates each week and adds up to create your Group Sales Volume (GSV).
As you begin to generate sales and build your downline, you have the option to start with 1 BC or 3 BCs. Both can give you leveraged income from GSV, but a 3BC can increase the leverage.
MAKE “SOME DAY” TODAY “When we first found USANA, we had very limited time as full-time graduate students and full-time employees. We were looking for something that would bring more time and financial freedom into our lives, so we decided to be very focused with the little time we did have to invest in our USANA business. Today, we are so glad we decided to start right then instead of waiting for the ‘some day’ when things would be less hectic for us. We are very thankful that we now have the time and financial freedom to choose how we want to live each day.” Brett & Melanie Ethridge Colorado, USA USANA Associates

How Business Centers (BCs) Work to Provide Income for You
Calculating Commissions
Doubling Commissions with 3 Business Centers
With 1 BC, as you sponsor Associates, you place them in open position in your downline (Jill and Bob, Figure 1), always remembering to keep the left and right sides balanced. A unique aspect of the Binary Compensation Plan is that you—and everyone in your upline, too—are able to build your downline organization because new Associates are always added down line. This structure creates a synergy wherein everyone benefits from the sales of new Associates. This is leverage and translates into faster growth for you and for those in your organization.
Commissions are based on your GSV, and are first converted into Commission Volume Points (CVP) and then are translated into your local currency. With USANA, you have the potential to get paid every single week.
As illustrated in Figure 2, you can see the difference between building a business with 1 BC versus 3 BCs. As you build BCs 002 and 003, you are simultaneously building BC 001 without additional effort. With 3 BCs, you build balanced legs on 2 BCs and earn commission on 3.
$76,000 is the average yearly income for an established, full-time USANA Associate. $25,000 is the annual average of those who earned as little as one commission check each month. Total earnings include commissions, Leadership Bonus, Matching Bonus, contests, and incentive compensation. The number of full-time Associates who have maxed at least 1 Business Center during the year equals less than 1% of all Associates. Those Associates earning as little as one check a month and associated with USANA for more than six months equals 3% of all ordering Associates. If you include all 135,590 ordering Associates, which includes: Associates not actively building a business (acting as wholesale buyers), Associates who just joined (as little as one day), and those who are just beginning to build their customer base, the average yearly income is still $616.72 with nearly one in three earning a check. To date, USANA has had more than 200 global Associates become lifetime Million Dollar Club members.

“I used to dream of the day when I would be able to travel to fun and exotic places, but with a family-run floor covering business, there were, unfortunately, no opportunities. Today, as a member of the Fortune 25, my dreams have become my realities in a major way. “From soaking up the sun on the pristine, sandy beaches of Bora Bora and hiking around the world famous waterfalls in Argentina to touring historical castles in Ireland—it’s all been made possible thanks to the Fortune 25 and the experiences they have provided us with. We have been treated like royalty! From the five-star resorts and the first-class flights to the most incredible destinations around the globe, it’s more than you can even imagine. “Beyond the locations, interacting and building friendships with other top leaders from around the world and in the USANA family is another benefit to belonging to the Fortune 25. “Set your goals and stay focused on becoming a member of this elite group and experience the ultimate rewards.” Jeremy Stansfield Utah, USA Fortune 25, Million Dollar Club, USANA Associate
