This is an exciting time for all of us. The new compensation plan is rolling forward and has already benefited many distributors throughout the world. I hope you are studying the plan and implementing it into your day-to-day business decisions. We created it to help you reach the kind of success you dream about—and we are confident that you can realize those dreams. Success is fascinating because it means something different to everyone. There is long-term success and there are daily successes that guide us to becoming what we ultimately want to become. Success is having the courage, determination, and will to become the person you know you are meant to be. Real success is not measured by things you acquire but by the impact for good you have on individuals and on our world. Your potential impact—and potential success—is enormous; but it is just potential, unless it is driven with unrelenting dedication. Success does not just happen; it is achieved through that “unrelenting dedication” to share the message and to care about the achievement and success of others. If you work hard and make the necessary commitments, your potential will be realized and your success will come. Many who have failed simply did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Our new compensation plan offers a fabulous opportunity to excel greater than ever before. If you teach others how to build accordingly, you will see the excitement of growth within your organization. Not only will you achieve your goals, but you will also enjoy the reward of helping others achieve their goals.

The cultural exchange will open a new world of understanding for our children! You can earn your place on the cruise with cruise points, Travel Rewards points, or a combination of both. 1. Cruise Points—For every cruise point you earn, Young Living will deduct that amount from the price of your cabin. Earn at least 100,000 cruise points and have your cabin for two completely covered. The value of the points does not necessarily correspond to dollar values. 2. Travel Rewards—Need more points? If you have not accumulated enough cruise points by the end of the qualification period, you may apply points earned from the Travel Rewards Bonus or use direct payment to make up the difference and to cover airfare, hotel, and upgrades. Space is limited, so begin earning points now! To use your Travel Rewards points, simply redeem them at the time of booking. The three distributors who earn the most points above 100,000 will be rewarded for their efforts with luxury cabins aboard the ship. The top achiever will earn the Penthouse cabin, the second top achiever will earn the Royal cabin, and the third top achiever will earn the Celebrity cabin. This is just one more reason to kick your point-earning efforts into high gear! Make it your personal goal to build your business and accrue points to pay for this once-in-a-lifetime trip!

How to Earn Cruise Points 1. New Distributor Enrollment We believe that new members of the Young Living family are the future of the company. When you share Young Living with someone new and he or she enrolls with a minimum 150 PV order, you will earn 1,800 cruise points! 2. Essential Rewards Orders Enroll new members the right way by signing them up for Essential Rewards and receive 1,200 points on their first Essential Rewards order. Each month that an Essential Rewards order of 100 PV or greater is processed for your personally enrolled member, you will receive 200 cruise points. Everyone wins: Your personally enrolled members get their monthly products shipped directly to their doorstep, and you earn cruise points! 3.

New NingXia Red & OmegaGize3 Brings Excitement to Singapore! Message from the General Manager
January has been an exciting month for us, as Singapore welcomed the New NingXia Red and OmegaGize3! We celebrated this event with a blast as members indulged in New NingXia champagne, creative souvenirs and served by a fun and eager bunch of YL staff dressed in bright red NingXia shirts. Members also managed to gain valuable knowledge and insights on the new products from our invited speaker Marc Schreuder and Australia General Manager, Jim O’ Reilly. This was also a time when we had the opportunity to recognize Slique challenge winner, Steven Lee for the great effort he put into leading himself to a healthy lifestyle. Our newest Golds & Silvers were also recognized, making this an unforgettable launch to begin the New Year with!
Featuring Young Living’s latest products!
Marc sharing his insights on the New NingXia Red and OmegaGize3 with the members.
What an amazing start to the new year! With the launch of the new NingXia Red, and the powerful OmegaGize3, more people than ever before are getting to know the amazing benefits of Young Living Essential Oils. I have to admit, when I tried the new NingXia Red, I was a little skeptical. I have been an avid user of the old NingXia Red for the past seven years, and to have one of my favourite products change was a bit of a concern at first. The old NingXia Red has been an excellent source for energy when hiking and mountaineering. I have also used it as a great nutritional source to help speed up recovery after playing sports. So naturally I was concerned when I first heard about the changes. However, after seeing Marc Schreuder’s presentation at the NingXia Red launch in January, and after using the new NingXia Red myself, I am convinced this product is more powerful than ever before. The new NingXia Red has seven times more essential oil, and 50% more superoxide antioxidant capacity than the original formula. But for me, more important than all the numbers, is simply how it makes me feel each day. As long as I am drinking NingXia Red, I feel better than ever. I also wanted to welcome back our members who attended the Winter Harvest in January. This was truly a life-changing event for me when I attended it last year, and I look forward to hearing back from those who attended this year’s harvest. I am awed by the amount of work, care and quality that go into each and every bottle of oil produced at the Young Living farms. I hope everybody has the opportunity one day to experience for themselves the dedication required to create such superb products.
Marc encouraging members to share their experiences.

Finally, I wanted to share my excitement about the new compensation plan and the abundance it will bring. Already we have noticed a number of people advancing in rank as a result of the new plan, and I expect there will be many more in the months ahead. With new products and a new compensation plan this will truly be a year of abundance for everyone in Young Living. As the colour red is auspicious during the Chinese New Year, I would encourage each of you to add some of the new NingXia Red to your daily routine this month, and experience the amazing benefits for yourself. Add to your routine the grounding influence of Balsam Fir, or the intellectual effects of Cedarwood from the winter harvest and you can enjoy an amazing year of wellness, purpose and abundance!

David Liew (Nature Matters)
I joined YL as a distributor last October and have been sharing the essential oils with my friends since then. Two weeks ago, I was sharing my experience of using YL essential oils with two friends over dinner at the restaurant and was explaining to them what the oils can do. While we were trying out White Angelica, an elderly caucasian couple seated at a diagonal table from us in the restaurant waved at me to get my attention and said “I love your oils!”. I invited them to sit with us and introduced some YL essential oils to them.
Turns out they were British tourists in transit here for a day and will be going back to the UK the following day. They have not heard of YL but they sure loved the scent of the oils. The elderly woman also mentioned that she loved the way I shared the oils with my friends and also explained that she is a healer and uses the essential oils in her healing works. She said that she could feel the vibrational energies of the YL oils (White Angelica & Sacred Frankincense), which at that point are new to her. She shared with us some of her experiences in using essential oils in her healing work and promised to look up the information I gave her about YL essential oils. This experience really made me feel that we are doing a good thing helping to spread the word on how YL essential oils can help improve the quality of life not just physically but also emotionally and spiritually. As Singapore is accomodating an even larger population (an estimate of 6.9 million in 2030), I believe YL essential oils will help more people handle the stress and chaos of city living through its wonderful products that brings our body back to its natural balance.

THE
CHALLENGE WINNER
Steven Lee Lost 5kg on the Slique Challenge
Before
After
I have tried several times to loose weight over the past years but failed in every attempt. Last year the Slique products were introduced in Singapore. After reading many testimonials on their success in the US I decided to give it a try. When Young Living Singapore opened the Slique Challenge to members, I took it up, learned how to use them first hand so that I can give advice to my downlines and to fulfill my greatest wish of reducing my waistline. Thinking back, I could imagine that I was a typical overweight Singaporean; always very busy, rushing from point to point, “no time” is the favorite verse, activities jam packed 24/7, exercising or healthy eating is never part of these activities, lots of dinner parties at work or at home. I took up the challenge with such lifestyle in mind. I started off with 2 Slique Tea bags and 4 to 5 drops of Slique Essence taken daily. Carbohydrates and sugar reduced by 50 percent and gradually eliminated after 1 week. Almost 4 kilograms of my weight was reduced in the first 2 weeks without exercise. Have never lost that much before in such a short period and I do not have that gloomy, tired feeling or headache normally suffered while dieting. It was a great feeling; loosing weight while drinking this great tasting tea, feeling as fresh too all day. In the following 2 weeks, the loss was marginal and can even put back some if carbohydrates or sugar is consumed. After attending the Weight Management training lesson conducted by the Young Living Singapore office, I gained better knowledge of these products. I did some simple adjustment to the eating style and a little optional exercise routine. The weight loss was then gradual and steady. I lost a total of 5 kg in 7 weeks and intend to carry on. Slique is very effective in reducing weight for those with a busy lifestyle. All that is needed is simple adjustment to your daily diet. No complex eating plan to follow or expensive food bill to pay. You can continue to enjoy eating what you like to eat every day. It also makes you lively and happy while losing weight. This method can be used to sustain long-term lifestyle change to ensure that you would not be an overweight person again.
