YOUNG LIVING Compensation Plan All of us have dreams. We all want to be something better, do something more, and leave our mark on the world. Some crave the latest and greatest; others seek comfort and peace; some seek fame and affluence.

Whatever your dreams, own them and work for them. They are worth the pursuit.

Our dreams are the driving force that motivates us to reach higher and pursue more diligently that which we most desire. At Young Living, we strive to realize the dream of wellness, purpose, and abundance. How committed are we—collectively and individually—to making this dream a reality for ourselves and for others? As a new year begins, let’s all rededicate ourselves to the realization and transformation of this most important dream.

One thing I’ve learned about dreams is that you can’t achieve them by only dreaming about them. Realizing dreams requires a plan, a pathway, and a focused effort. Mary and I have spent countless hours over the past year creating what we believe is an even better pathway, a fun, exciting, and rewarding pathway to reaching wellness, purpose, and abundance. This blueprint is the new Young Living compensation plan.

As you understand the changes and start implementing them in your business, we are confident you will love it. It will build a strong organization that will transform to sustainable happiness and prosperity—a dream all of us can pursue, the dream of a Young Living life of wellness, purpose, and abundance—and let us share our dream with the world.

To Our Young Living Distributors: The launch of the changes in our compensation plan is here, and there is much excitement everywhere. People are anxious to start building within this new structure because of its simplicity to teach and build with the anticipation of growing faster to enjoy the many innovative payouts.

However, as with any change, there are always questions about the transition between the previous plan and the new one—here are the answers!

Six-Month Transition Phase I For six months from January 1, 2013, to June 30, 2013, your rank according to our current plan will be used to calculate your compensation. As you build in the new plan and achieve a higher rank than you currently have in the old plan, your commission will naturally be calculated based on your new achievement. For this six-month period, both plans will run side by side, and you will be paid according to the new plan, but with the highest rank achieved in either plan.

For example, if you are a Gold or an Executive and you do not have the needed third leg for Gold or second leg for Executive, you will be qualified as a Gold or Executive respectively for six months, giving you time to build the leg that you need so that when July 1, 2013, arrives, you will have built the leg that you need in order to maintain your rank.

If your check should go down a little, it is because of one or more of three things: 1. The natural variance of volume that happens every month.

2. The structure of your organization is not the best to maximize the payout.

3. Your commission has been built relying on the Team Performance Bonus, which is being eliminated over the course of six months.

Please note that we will continue to have the same rich and abundant overall payout as we have had with the old plan. This new plan allows us to pay out these same significant dollars in a way that will help all of you build for more sustainable growth for the future and encourage new individuals to join Young Living.

Team Performance Bonus Unfortunately, the Team Performance Bonus was based on a particular structure outside of the commission payout and paid in addition to the commission earned. This bonus rewarded people for building in a way that was not sustainable for us as a company and you as a distributor.

As the amount of this bonus would have grown, Young Living would have paid an excessive amount in the total commission payout. For this reason, this bonus must be eliminated in order to ensure that we continue to be the financially stable company you have grown to expect from Young Living.

Key Questions Q: Why is Young Living making changes to the compensation plan?

A: We have adjusted the compensation plan to put success better within the reach of our distributors. With this new plan, you can earn more through growing your organization, avoid reaching a plateau in growth, and receive compensation from 45–47% of the company’s commissionable sales—well above the industry average of 38–42%.

Q: I have been building my business on the model of the Team Performance Bonus, but that bonus is going away. How is Young Living going to take care of me?

A: The Team Performance Bonus will not disappear right away. For six months after the implementation of the new compensation plan, qualifying distributors will earn both the Team Performance Bonus at a reduced amount of 50% (and decreasing 10% every month for six months) and the new Rising Star Team Bonus. When you qualify for the Rising Star Team Bonus for the first time, the 24-month time limit will begin.

However, new, exciting bonuses have been added to our new plan, which are part of the commission structure. As the volume grows and distributors advance in rank, everyone’s commission will increase, which will strengthen our distributors and Young Living’s place as the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

In order to help those who will be losing the Team Performance Bonus, we have determined that we will pay half of the bonus beginning in January and then reduce it each month until June, or when it is gone, whichever comes first. The last payment will be June 2013.

Because of the simplicity of the new plan, we believe that it will be easy to build and exceed the loss of the Team Performance Bonus very quickly. Now your focus needs to be on simply building leg volume. By maintaining your rank for six months, most distributors will not see a huge change in their checks. According to our analysis of the new compensation plan, 83% of our distributors increase or maintain the amount of their current checks.

Only 4.7% are negatively affected below 80% payout, and we are working to help those distributors. Almost everyone understands what to do, and most are working diligently to correct and rebuild the structure that they have to bring their checks back up to 100% of the amount of their current checks.

Q: Can I earn the Team Performance and the Generation Leadership bonuses at the same time?

A: Yes, as long as you meet all qualifications for both.

Transition Phase II Beginning July 1, 2013, all commissions will be calculated and paid out according to the new compensation plan.

In anticipation of this transition, now is the time to start building. As you achieve a higher rank, your commission check will increase; and as you help distributors in your organization achieve a higher rank, their commission checks will increase, as will yours. The more you help others achieve, the more everyone will see an increase.

It is going to be very exciting to see everyone’s efforts rewarded as we grow together. We see renewed motivation and activity everywhere. We are thrilled to see such a positive response and look forward to this great transformation into the new year.

Q: How does the “grandfathering” plan work?

A: Because we want to help you comfortably adjust to the new compensation plan, there will be a six-month transition period starting January 1, 2013. There will be two elements to the transition: First, during this period, distributors who are eligible for both the Team Performance Bonus and the new Rising Star Team Bonus will be paid both, though the Team Performance Bonus will be paid at a decreased rate of 50%, decreasing an additional 10% every month until June 2013, when it reaches 0% or until the distributor no longer qualifies. Second, distributors will qualify using whichever compensation plan, previous or new, allows them to qualify for the highest rank. All distributors will be paid according to the new plan beginning July 1, 2013.

In the new plan, all of the intended percentage of the plan will be paid out with no breakage. Other plans in the industry look enticing with lucrative bonuses, but they are difficult to achieve, and it is only to the company’s advantage when the distributors fail to meet the requirements.

We want to pay out all of the commission as shown in the plan and are thrilled for the advancement and success of our distributors.

We are very impressed with the attitude of our distributors. All of us at Young Living are deeply involved in helping, and we so appreciate the support and positive attitude of our leaders. They are analyzing their organizations and looking to see who needs help and then working with those in need to build in a positive way to achieve maximum results and payout in the new commission structure.

Young Living and the distributor field have become one in making this the most positive and successful transition possible.

Young Living News from Around the World

AUSTRALIA

Jim O’Reilly and Maroline Crane were lucky enough to attend the 2012 Winter Harvest in Idaho alongside our Diamond leaders Artemis and Alan and Linda Simpson. The harvest was a great experience for all. Waking up to snow falling on the first morning was inspirational. It was the first time Artemis had seen snow, which was a great treat for her.

JAPAN

Last year was the greatest year ever for Young Living Japan. We have blockbuster new products that have never before been in the market! Progessence Phyto Plus™ was released in July, and the Slique™ line of products was launched in October. These great products have invigorated the health, beauty, and wellness of many customers.

The first big event of 2013 is the launch of the new NingXia Red, with a tour hosted by Dr. Cole Woolley beginning January 29. We look forward to this ex-

citing event and hope all of our distributors will be extremely excited about this amazing product.

As the new year begins, Young Living Japan wishes happiness and growth for you, your family, and your country.

HONG KONG

3. Use an exfoliating Young Living facial scrub to stimulate circulation and help eliminate toxins.

4. Spray your face often with A•R•T Purifying Toner to help soothe and revitalize your skin and minimize pores.

5. Moisturize after every bath or shower, whether you think you need it or not.

6. Enjoy an aromatic bath while putting the Young Living Beauty Masque on your face.

To create your own aromatic bath using Young Living essential oils, follow this simple recipe: With the holiday festivities now in the rearview mirror, you are suddenly beginning to realize the consequences of the past few weeks. The decadent food, late nights, and winter weather have taken their toll. Now is the time to renew your focus and implement habits that will have you looking and feeling your best.

Although aging is a natural process, we make choices every day that determine the speed and direction nature will take. Proper nutrition, exercise, sleep, and a proven skin-care regimen can rebuild what was lost during the holidays. These healthy habits can quickly put us back on the path to slowing the visible signs of aging.

To help you recover from the holidays, let me first review some basics regarding the different skin types and then make a couple of suggestion that will give your skin and overall beauty a boost.

Skin Types: 1. Normal skin is an ideal skin type.

It is firm, supple, and equally balanced with water and oil.

2. Dry skin tends to be scaly and is usually lacking natural oils. It is also rather sensitive, especially in harsh weather conditions. Dry skin will always benefit from a heavy moisturizer.

3. Oily skin has large pores with a high probability of developing acne and blemishes, but it maintains its youthful appearance very well.

4. Mature skin loses its elasticity, is prone to wrinkles and damage, and needs a lot of hydration and nourishment.

Try these simple steps to get back to a healthy, preholiday you: 1. Begin with a Young Living moisturizing masque to soften and repair winter damage to the skin.

2. Take a shower or bath using A•R•T® Gentle Foaming Cleanser to help nourish and restore your skin’s protective barriers. Always follow with a moisturizing cream or body lotion.

Aromatic Bath 2 drops pine 5 drops orange 5 drops lavender ¼ cup honey Mix the essential oils in the honey.

Fill the bathtub with water and add the honey mixture. Stir well and relax for 20 minutes in the tub.

Young Living essential oils are made from plants whose properties can reproduce remarkable similarities to youthful, radiant, smooth, and supple skin. Much like how a plant has the power to protect, care for, and repair itself, Young Living essential oils are the best and most natural way to enhance your own beauty.

about this season’s Winter Harvest

Marcella Vonn Harting and Dallas Harting work out in the fields at the Highland Flats tree farm during this season’s Winter Harvest.

Marcella Vonn Harting Crown Diamond, Arizona

“The Winter Harvest experience is a must for all Young Living leaders.

Gary Young feels this is one of the most important experiences he and the company can offer to the distributors, and now I agree. Having fully participated in the harvest, I have a much deeper appreciation for our company and our mission of putting Young Living essential oils in every home in the world.

The process of getting the oil from the tree is an amazing experience to be witnessed by every distributor in our company. I personally feel all Diamonds must experience this in person to be an example to their organizations and to be able to represent Young Living in every aspect of true leadership.

To truly understand the founders and leaders of Young Living and to understand why we do what we do, the answers are all at the harvests.”

Artemis

Diamond, Australia “There is an amazing sense of spirit at the St. Maries farm. The opportunity to spend time with Gary and Mary in a really personal setting was life changing. With Young Living growing so phenomenally year by year, it’s not often we get to simply be with Gary and Mary on their own turf.

Watching the snowfall over the lavender and the conifers was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

Gary’s vision is to make each of the Young Living farms a destination for Young Living distributors and their families, a place where we can come and have a true farm experience, where we can learn what makes our oils so special, and where we can receive education, inspiration, and pampering.

The accommodations are warm and welcoming, the food was fabulous, and the adventure was amazing.

And did I have fun? You bet! The best part was sitting alongside Gary as he drove between farms talking about trucks, his past logging experiences, his visions for Young Living’s future, and just sharing in his passion.”

Linda and Alan Simpson Diamonds, Australia

“When Alan and I arrived at the Winter Harvest, we could see how much things can change when a visionary like Gary Young is in control. There is a full kitchen, toilets, showers, laundry, sleeping quarters, a lounge room, and even Internet access. At the distillery are the new spa rooms and the hot tubs of floral water. In doing this, Gary has gone the ultimate extra mile for us all by incorporating the farm into an elite destination in so many ways. We were so excited by these changes that all we wanted to do was rally up the girls back home, and the boys, too, if they’re good, and come here and have them experience what we experienced.

When we saw the new GC instrument that was ready for installation, we couldn’t help but think, ‘What other company goes to these lengths and expense to ensure that people are getting the best and the purest all the time, every time?’ None that we know of. To experience the energy here while being surrounded by nature, by these plants and their aroma, is something that you will never forget for as long as you live. Australia is a very long way away from the Highland Flats farm, but we would make the trip here again in a heartbeat!”

Dallas Harting helps chip trees at the Highland Flats farm during this season’s Winter Harvest. The tree chips will then be distilled at the St. Maries farm.

Dallas Harting Silver, New York

“Wow, what an amazing trip! I just absolutely love going to the Winter Harvest. I love the fact that I get the opportunity to bond with other Young Living distributors, corporate staff, and, of course, Gary Young!

The Winter Harvest is like a big boy’s playground. I’ve had the opportunity to drive just about everything up there—and saying it’s fun is a giant understatement.

I have made lifelong friendships at the Winter Harvest that stretch all the way to Australia. The culture of Young Living has always been focused on what’s most important, and it’s the relationships and the people.”

Watching the Seed to Seal® process is one of the most powerful things that any Young Living leader can experience. Participating in the Winter Harvest makes you truly appreciate the amazing essential oils that Young Living has to offer and why we are the World Leader in Essential Oils®.”

After an astounding year in 2012, Europe is highly charged and excited to accelerate the momentum and growth into 2013! With continued strength and support in the market, there is so much to look forward to this year!

We are excited for new market openings, regional meetings, and trainings across Europe—as well as sensational new product launches and tools and initiatives to help our dedicated and passionate distributors further build and flourish successfully! The new year kicks off with an exclusive leaders event in Vienna on January 19, hosted by our sales and marketing director, Thorsten Mueller. This event will be a super opportunity not to be missed by those invited!

Experiencing the Seed to Seal® process from start to finish and being able to say we had a helping hand is truly uplifting. Seeing Gary Young in action—driving his big rig and preparing the trees to be transferred to the distillery—makes us realize that we really do belong to the world’s leading essential oil company.

Where else would you find the founder of the company getting his hands dirty to produce the finest oils?

For those of you who have not experienced a harvest of any kind, we really encourage you to do so. These events are life-changing experiences for one and all.

Key Questions Q: Why is Young Living making changes to the compensation plan?

A: We have adjusted the compensation plan to put success better within the reach of our distributors. With this new plan, you can earn more through growing your organization, avoid reaching a plateau in growth, and receive compensation from 45–47% of the company’s commissionable sales—well above the industry average of 38–42%.

Q: I have been building my business on the model of the Team Performance Bonus, but that bonus is going away. How is Young Living going to take care of me?

A: The Team Performance Bonus will not disappear right away. For six months after the implementation of the new compensation plan, qualifying distributors will earn both the Team Performance Bonus at a reduced amount of 50% (and decreasing 10% every month for six months) and the new Rising Star Team Bonus. When you qualify for the Rising Star Team Bonus for the first time, the 24-month time limit will begin.

However, new, exciting bonuses have been added to our new plan, which are part of the commission structure. As the volume grows and distributors advance in rank, everyone’s commission will increase, which will strengthen our distributors and Young Living’s place as the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

In order to help those who will be losing the Team Performance Bonus, we have determined that we will pay half of the bonus beginning in January and then reduce it each month until June, or when it is gone, whichever comes first. The last payment will be June 2013.

Because of the simplicity of the new plan, we believe that it will be easy to build and exceed the loss of the Team Performance Bonus very quickly. Now your focus needs to be on simply building leg volume. By maintaining your rank for six months, most distributors will not see a huge change in their checks. According to our analysis of the new compensation plan, 83% of our distributors increase or maintain the amount of their current checks.

Only 4.7% are negatively affected below 80% payout, and we are working to help those distributors. Almost everyone understands what to do, and most are working diligently to correct and rebuild the structure that they have to bring their checks back up to 100% of the amount of their current checks.

Q: Can I earn the Team Performance and the Generation Leadership bonuses at the same time?

A: Yes, as long as you meet all qualifications for both.

Essential Edge News

Transition Phase II Beginning July 1, 2013, all commissions will be calculated and paid out according to the new compensation plan.

In anticipation of this transition, now is the time to start building. As you achieve a higher rank, your commission check will increase; and as you help distributors in your organization achieve a higher rank, their commission checks will increase, as will yours. The more you help others achieve, the more everyone will see an increase.

It is going to be very exciting to see everyone’s efforts rewarded as we grow together. We see renewed motivation and activity everywhere. We are thrilled to see such a positive response and look forward to this great transformation into the new year.

For up-to-the-minute training and details on the new Young Living compensation plan, be sure to attend at least one of our special webinars. Visit the World Map of Events on youngliving.com for the training webinar schedule.

You are a valuable member of the Young Living family, and we thank you for your support and dedication.

We look forward to rolling out the new compensation plan and enjoying a spectacular 2013 together.

2013

Q: How does the “grandfathering” plan work?

A: Because we want to help you comfortably adjust to the new compensation plan, there will be a six-month transition period starting January 1, 2013. There will be two elements to the transition: First, during this period, distributors who are eligible for both the Team Performance Bonus and the new Rising Star Team Bonus will be paid both, though the Team Performance Bonus will be paid at a decreased rate of 50%, decreasing an additional 10% every month until June 2013, when it reaches 0% or until the distributor no longer qualifies. Second, distributors will qualify using whichever compensation plan, previous or new, allows them to qualify for the highest rank. All distributors will be paid according to the new plan beginning July 1, 2013.

In the new plan, all of the intended percentage of the plan will be paid out with no breakage. Other plans in the industry look enticing with lucrative bonuses, but they are difficult to achieve, and it is only to the company’s advantage when the distributors fail to meet the requirements.

We want to pay out all of the commission as shown in the plan and are thrilled for the advancement and success of our distributors.

We are very impressed with the attitude of our distributors. All of us at Young Living are deeply involved in helping, and we so appreciate the support and positive attitude of our leaders. They are analyzing their organizations and looking to see who needs help and then working with those in need to build in a positive way to achieve maximum results and payout in the new commission structure.

Young Living and the distributor field have become one in making this the most positive and successful transition possible.

Doug Corrigan said, “One of the things I have loved about NingXia Red for so long is that it gives us the opportunity to introduce a brand new person to oils that are pure enough to drink. For most of the world, oils are an aromatic phenomenon. Almost by accident, because NingXia Red tastes so great, people are introduced to the world of internal oils, and through that process a whole new experience can become theirs. Now with the new NingXia Red, that experience is seven times more profound.” These pure and potent essential oils blend synergistically and deliciously with the other components of NingXia Red to support normal body functions.

No other nutrient-infused beverage can come close to the beneficial essential oil content of NingXia Red!

Under the direction of D. Gary Young, Young Living recently reformulated one of its most popular products, NingXia Red. In this top-to-bottom formula overhaul, our experts researched and analyzed current ingredients along with possible replacements. Changes were made, resulting in a product with superior health benefits.

The first and most exciting change centered on NingXia Red’s essential oil blend. The total beneficial oil was increased seven times. This was accomplished by increasing the amount of lemon and orange and by adding two new citrus oils, yuzu and tangerine.

While lemon, orange, and tangerine are familiar to many, yuzu is new to the Young Living family. “Our specially produced yuzu oil utilizes a novel hydrosonic technology that focuses on low-pressure, low-temperature distillation that takes the oil out of the rinds at a pristine state, a therapeutic pure state,” stated Marc Schrueder.
