Young Living Volume 4.2 February 2014
Founder’s Message THE CONCEPT OF abundance has always intrigued me: it’s the idea of having enough love, compassion, time, and resources to be able to be the person you are hoping to become. Do you have enough love to give to those you love? Do you have enough compassion toward those who are in need? Do you have enough freedom of time to do what you really want to do? Do you have enough resources to accomplish your goals and to bless others? If I were to ask these questions to each Young Living member, the answers would vary in content and confidence. However, what I do know is that Young Living can lead you to an abundant life. In the network marketing industry—and specifically with Young Living—there is no identifiable limit to what you can earn, and I’m not just talking about money. It is the law of attraction; and in an industry that is dependent on relationships, you will attract what you desire, seek after, and commit to being. Your attitude is everything, and you have to believe that whatever it is you’re pursuing, you will make it happen. It will take time but the rewards will come. Be committed to the process. Know and believe in your “whys”—and make them bigger than money. Money will not motivate you during the journey that will inevitably be paved through canyons, thick fog, and difficult terrain. But when you look back on the journey from the realization of your accomplishment, you will have become the person you once dreamed of becoming. Believe in yourself. Believe you can make a difference. Believe in Young Living!
Obsessed With Quality By Jared Turner
Chief Global Sales Officer
GARY YOUNG IS absolutely obsessed with quality. I’ve witnessed his unwavering commitment countless times—most recently in Highland Flats, Idaho, at our newest distillery. Young Living invests millions of dollars in farms, distilleries, labs, chemists, etc., all to protect the integrity of our oils and the trust you have invested in us. This investment is not a decision most companies make because it directly impacts their profitability. At Young Living, we will take much less in our bottom line as a company so that you can have much more certitude in quality as members. The current management team is completely aligned with Gary, and we will never waiver in terms of meeting his highest standards of quality. I welcome each of you to be bold in sharing this message. Ask to meet other companies’ analytical chemists; ask to visit their farms, labs, and distilleries; ask if their company owners are absolutely obsessed with quality and if they make it their mission in life. Gary’s passion is inspiring and contagious. We have your back. Gary has your back. Be bold and let the oils speak for themselves.

A Dream Achieved
IN JANUARY, YOUNG Living’s newest distillery became operational at the Highland Flats tree farm, and a different Winter Har–CUTTING CEREM ON ON B B I Y vest experience was ushered in. But there was more—something R spectacular: a realization of a dream that founder D. Gary Young has had for many years. This new oil-extracting facility is in fact state-of-the-art—the world’s first automated distillery. Everyone who comes to experience the Seed to Seal process will stand in amazement while working in the most advanced distillery in the world. Come celebrate the world’s first fully automated, state-of-the-art distillery. The truck bay in the new distillery building is 85 feet long and 52 feet wide.

For the first time, the semitrucks can drive inside Register for this FREE event at a heated building, where the chips can be unloaded and then YoungLiving.com/HighlandFlatsDistillery packed into the two 21,000-liter extraction chambers. For those who have experienced a previous Winter Harvest, they will be amazed and thrilled to unload without heavy coats and hats to protect them from the miserable cold, blowing snow, and cutting wind. These huge chambers can produce anywhere from 17–23 liters of oil per cook while using one-third of the fuel. The new distillery also completely eliminates Gary’s nightly drive in the semitruck over the treacherous winding roads and hairpin turns on snow and ice to the distillery at the farm in St. Maries, which could take anywhere from three to seven hours. Gary is safer; the distillation process is infinitely faster; and the essential oils have never been better. Indeed, the new distillery is a realization of a dream come true. The Essential Edge
