LEVERAGING YOUR CONVENTION EXPERIENCE 2015 International Grand Convention
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE THE WAVE OF momentum Young Living is riding right now is bigger than anything we have ever experienced. What we’re doing in the network-marketing industry—and in the essential oils industry—is unheard of. For a company in its 21st year, we are growing in ways once believed to be impossible. The thing is, I don’t believe in the word impossible!
YOUNG LIVING’S BIGGEST event—and party—of the year is the International Grand Convention. This year’s convention promises to be the biggest yet, with two full sessions in Dallas, Texas. Since everything is bigger in Texas, we are sure your ideas and goals for the convention are even bigger. Our top-ranking leaders are convention experts, and we talked with Royal Crown Diamond Debra Raybern to get tips and advice on how to best use the convention as a driving force for your Young Living journey.

Thank you, every single Young Living member, for lighting the fire within the company, within your own life, and in the lives of people around the world. Our opportunity is real, our products are world class, and we are changing lives together, wherever we go. Lighting the fire takes courage. It requires action and sometimes a little discomfort. That’s okay, because we can’t change lives in Comfortville. But the reward is worth it, knowing you helped someone be better! Life is a lot better when it’s lived with passion, isn’t it? Our relationships are more rewarding. Our work is more fulfilling. Our purpose is higher. When we find our driving purpose, we can achieve amazing things. When a community of like-minded “oilers” has purpose, we can change the world—and that’s exactly what we’re doing! So keep going! Keep doing your best every day. You have something that can change somebody’s life. You can give something to the world today that nobody else can give, because you are uniquely you.

Seed to Seal® Firsthand
CELEBRATING SUCCESS AT THE GOLD RETREAT As part of their leadership retreat, Young Living Gold leaders experienced the Seed to Seal process for themselves, watching the harvesting and distillation of our St. Maries melissa.
WHAT A BLAST! Gold leaders recently spent time at the St. Maries farm for their annual recognition retreat. The agenda was full of adventures, education, and networking—a memorable thank you for all the hard work of these top leaders! Following check-in, our leaders attended a welcome dinner where they met and mingled. The rest of the week included applied training and education sessions, exciting river rafting, and experiencing the Seed to Seal process by watching—and helping—with the distillation of melissa. Attendee Trina Smith Thornburg reflected on

her experience saying, “It was an amazing trip, and I felt so spoiled! I loved getting to see the melissa being distilled and seeing the St. Maries farm firsthand. It really made me appreciate the hard work it takes to create those precious bottles of oil.” Trina also says that she “loved being there with other members and sharing stories, goals, and ideas together. What an outstanding reward; I hope that everyone can experience it one day!” Young Living is certainly a family, and we are so happy we got to spend quality time together in St. Maries. We are looking forward to seeing you at the next recognition retreat!
