WHAT IS BUSINESS?
Simply put, business is about making someones life better.
Thats all business will ever be. The further away a business gets from making its customers lives better, the less successful that business will be. Thats the general idea behind business, but what would be YOUR motivation for owning your own business? Would it be the security of ownership? The opportunity for greater wealth? Gaining time freedom? Or is it to help people? Its helpful to consider this in the very beginning, because many times a person starts their own business only to lose sight of their original motivation. Through business ownership, it is possible to improve the lives of others and obtain more freedom and wealth.

This booklet will help you understand business and the components that will make your business a financial success.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

Selecting the right product or service for your business
At the heart of a successful business is a product or service that people truly need or want. The most profitable business is one that has a product that is unique and consumableor, a service that is unique and renewable. Having a unique product means that the customer can only acquire it from you. For example, why do you go to your favorite restaurant? Why is it your favorite? Because you cant get that type of food anywhere else. That concept carries over to all business - if you want to be succesful, its important to make sure you have unique products. Consumable means that the customer uses and reorders the product on a regular basis. This is a key

IN A PRODUCT OR SERVICE
component of creating wealth. Renewable, similar to consumable, means the customer renews their service with you on a regular or consistent basis.

Your time versus a product

When thinking about owning your own business, its wise to consider whether you want to sell you or sell a product. If you decide you want to cut hair as a business (sell you), consider that there is a limited amount of time in a day you cannot personally cut enough peoples hair to ever create wealth. Yet, a product can be manufactured millions of times. Therefore, if you want to create wealth, it would be far better to sell shampoo than to cut hair.

TRENDS AND
Introduce your product or service at the right time
One of the most critical elements in starting a successful business is TIMING. You dont just need great products, you also need to introduce them at the right time. The right time is created by supplying a product or service to a large and expanding group of people - a phenomenon that we all know as a trend. When thinking about starting a business, its helpful to consider what the trends are and how you can use them to your benefit. For instance, the most significant group of people creating trends in the marketplace today is the Baby Boom

PRODUCT POSITIONING
generation. Who is the Baby Boom generation? Well, immediately following WWII, the men returned from war and started families. Between 1946 and 1964, seventy-six million babies were born in the USA, and one billion babies worldwide. That was an eighteenyear boom in population growth. Why is the Baby Boom generation so significant to business owners? Because the Baby Boomers are not only the largest group of people in the world, they also control approximately 65% of all the money in the world. So gearing your business towards the Baby Boomers is a great way to position your business for success.

THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS

BABY BOOMER
EXAMPLES
To help you visualize the economic impact of Baby Boomers, picture a basketball (the Boomers) moving through a garden hose (the economy).
Here are a few examples of how much the Baby Boomers have impacted trends in the past. The first trend? Baby food. Gerber became a household name by supplying baby food to this large group of new babies. From there - toys (Mattel, Hasbro), music (Rolling Stones), cars (Ford Mustang), fast food (McDonalds), homes (Century 21) and then healthcare. These are all examples of industries and companies that have succeeded by supplying something that fit the needs of the Baby Boomers. So what are the needs of Baby Boomers NOW? Well, lets consider that they are roughly between 45 and 65 years old. That means they would be looking for things like:

Health and wellness products and education Vanity (anti-aging) products and services Retirement products and services (money to retire, estate planning, etc.)

DO THE WORK YOURSELF

OR HIRE OTHERS?
After youve chosen a good product and are in front of large, growing trends, the next important decision to make in owning your own business is whether you plan to do it all yourself or hire others.
Every business owner runs into the trap of trying to do it all. If you do this, you will eventually run out of the time and/ or knowledge that you need to keep up. The first thought is normally to hire an employee, which is certainly better than trying to do it all yourself. But hiring employees can itself cause business failure. Why? Firstly, you dont know that the employee you hire will actually work. Secondly, you dont know if the employee will earn the company more money than they cost. In the early stages of a business, the owner very often pays their employees the money that they should be using to advertise and grow the business. The solution is to hire representatives instead of employees, because with representatives, you only pay them when they actually produce something. Lets look at how the real estate industry uses representatives instead of employees.

A R I I X H E A LT H & N U T R I T I O N

THE ADVANTAGE OF HIRING

A real estate broker hires an agent or representative (not an employee).
The representative (or rep) sells a home and earns a percentage of the sales price of the home and so does the broker. Shouldnt it be that way? The broker trains the reps and provides a place for them to do business. The critical difference between reps and employees is that reps only get paid when they actually sell something, while employees get paid whether they sell something or not. And if you hire an employee, you pay them whether they help your business or not.

INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVES
If the real estate broker wants to earn more money, he simply hires more reps.

HIRING INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVES

THE DISADVANTAGE OF

The problem with both employees and reps is that when they want to become brokers (or own their own business), they leave the company and become competitors to the original broker (or business owner) who trained them.

The problem of reps breaking away to become brokers (competitors) is compounded as more and more reps do the same. This is why there are so many different real estate companies today.

A R I I X H E A LT H & N U T R I T I O N

11

THE SOLUTION TO HIRING &

There is a solution to this problem.
Instead of allowing the reps you train to break away and start their own businesses, why not allow them to become brokers in YOUR company? With your reps becoming brokers in your company, you wont continue to receive a 3% commission from all their sales - it will be less. But you will still

TRAINING YOUR COMPETITORS

be earning revenue from their sales, and this strategy will encourage the reps to remain with your company. With your reps becoming brokers in your company, hiring other reps, and training them to be brokers, you would keep all of your satisfied customers and have a constant source of new business.

12

THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS

IN THIS SCENARIO
If you employ others (either as employees or as reps), the only way to retain them is to offer them the same amount to gain as you have. You do this by allowing them to become brokers in your company and own their own business. If you dont allow them this opportunity, there is a good chance that they will someday break away and become your competition, especially if they are talented. By letting them become brokers in your company, you still earn revenue from their business, but they get to be business owners too. Everyone wins!

EVERYONE WINS

You get customers
The best business model would copy the good parts of the broker/ rep arrangement:

STEP ONE & TWO

FIRST, a sales rep would acquire customers. Obviously, having customers is what creates a consistent income. SECOND, get one rep
and teach him or her how to get customers. By doing this, youre not trying to do it all yourself.

You teach the rep to get customers

BEST BUSINESS MODEL

Rep teaches new rep to get customers
THIRD, once your rep is skilled
at getting customers, teach him how to find and train one new rep and ensure that he can train this new rep to get customers. If you got 20 customers and taught your rep to get 20 customers, youd now have 40 customers buying your product. Its very important to make sure that your reps are capable of bringing in their own customers as well as finding other reps who

STEP THREE

know how to bring in customers. They are now building their own business within your business. And they have as much to gain as you do. Training reps to get customers is truly investing your time, instead of just spending your time.

THE ARIIX STORY

In a living room one Sunday, a small group of icons in the direct sales industry got together and decided to start a movement. Why? Because they saw an epidemic of company owners putting profits above people, and the time had come to do something about it. Focused on being the catalyst for change, these individuals made radical decisions to forever alter the landscape of direct sales. Some sold their companies. Others walked away from successful careers spanning decades. They wanted to offer a realistic opportunity for everyone to have a chance at success, regardless of family background or economic status. They believed that everyone should be able to see infinite possibilities for their life. All of them together formed a completely new identity ARIIX a company dedicated to unleashing the human potential for good. They realized that health is about more than just your physical wellbeing - its also about your mental, social, and financial health. ARIIX advocates a total health approach to improving your life in nearly every area. The ARIIX vision of total health started at the most fundamental level the cell. Their goal was to create the best nutritional support for the cell and its regenerative processes, in order to unlock the bodys potential for overall health. Together with leading experts in nutritional science, the ARIIX team explored the positive effects of Supportive Nutrition, and the emerging science of Regenerational Nutrition, which helps the body restore itself at the cellular level.

16

THIS IS YOUR BUSINESS

Unfortunately, todays health care systems do not encourage us to cultivate cellular health or to take advantage of supplemental nutrition. Instead, it gives us drugs and surgeries as definitive answers to human health problems. This is clearly not the solution, as we see millions of people dying from largely preventable diseases. Many of us have fallen into the trap of believing that pharmaceuticals and other forms of drugs are helping us gain better health when, in reality, they are often designed only as a tool to help us through an immediate crisis and not for sustaining longlasting wellness. ARIIX believes that through the right education, the right support, and the right products, everyone can improve their health in a fundamental and meaningful way.

At ARIIX, we know that your body has unfathomable powers. It is a miraculous and complicated machine that doesnt just affect you - it is you. Your body is your vehicle for adventure. It is your machine for thought and reason. Your vessel for feeling. The resting place of your soul. Your body is the home that you live in your entire life and you are the owner. Thats why your health is your most valuable investment, and we will help you live your best life by showing you a better way to optimize it. That is our story. ARIIX began with a few like-minded individuals coming together to create something different something great. But it didnt stop there. It soon evolved into a larger group of passionate people, united by a vision to become a true force for good.

And now, ARIIX has a growing global presence, with a message of health that is spreading across the world. If you believe in the importance of lasting, fundamental health; if you want to unleash your own potential for good and bring others with you; if you feel the sense that you were meant to strive for something greater join us. We are strong. We are moving forward. We are ARIIX.

ARIIX stands alone in its unique comprehension of health sciences. We are committed to staying informed of the latest research in Supportive Nutrition, which focuses on providing the body with the optimal nutrients for it to function at its peak. ARIIX is also a pioneer in the emerging science of Regenerational Nutrition, which helps the body restore itself at the cellular level. Science has been telling us for years that many of our bodies illnesses and impairments are caused by malnutrition, and that our modern diet often fails to provide us with the critical nutrients that our bodies need to function properly. We at ARIIX are committed to help overcome this problem, and to that end we have partnered with leading scientists and nutritional experts from around the world to create the proprietary formulae for our supplements. Our ingredients contain elements that research indicates are vital to overall cellular health, which translates to positive effects on overall energy and performance, as well as the slowing of many degenerative processes that come with aging. You can count on ARIIX to bring you the highest-quality products backed by the highest-quality research. We believe that better nutrition leads to better health, and better health leads to a longer, fuller life.

Before any of our supplements get the ARIIX stamp of approval, each one must be carefully examined and proven to exceed industry standards - and to exceed even our own expectations for excellence. In order to create the proprietary formulae for our products, we first consult with industry experts who are leaders in the fields of nutritional science and comprehensive wellness. We stay on top of cutting-

COMPENSATION PLAN
The ARIIX Activ8 Compensation Plan is a uniquely developed structure designed to allow the ability for unlimited profitability potential as well as long-term stability. We have developed a new category of compensation structure called the multi-line - an approach that means there will be an increased flow of income to the top and bottom lines. The Activ8 Compensation Plan identifies and overcomes the industrys most prevalent concerns and creates incomparable income potential.

Membership Types
When someone joins ARIIX, they will always start as an ARIIX Member, which allows them to receive a discount on their product purchases, as well as earn product credit towards future purchases. When an ARIIX Member earns a minimum of $30 in credit within a week, they are now able to become an ARIIX Representative* and earn income based upon their activity within the Activ8 Compensation Plan.

Each new ARIIX Member has an opportunity to acquire or purchase a IIX Membership; this opportunity is only available to new ARIIX Members. This membership entitles them to double their product discount through the ARIIX Auto Delivery Program, as well as double their earnings from all Bonuses within the Activ8 Compensation Plan when they become an ARIIX Representative. A IIX Membership is the critical first step to maximizing the Active8 Compensation Plan. Watch for the IIX Perks described throughout the Activ8 Compensation Plan to see all of the additional benefits this membership affords ARIIX Representatives.

Base Commissions
After activating their first Income Position with at least 150 points of product volume (PV), ARIIX Representatives who remain Active will have the opportunity to build their organization in a truly revolutionary and profitable way. Each Income Position will start with 2 lines which they are allowed to enroll new ARIIX Members in. As their business grows they will have the opportunity to add additional teams or lines to the same Income Position. Each of these teams is able to generate significant volume, and the largest of these teams is identified as the Power Line. This permits all other lines to be identified as Pay Lines. Base Commissions provides a 15% commission on all accumulated Product Volume (PV) within all Pay Lines. As each Pay Line generates the potential

of $2,000 in Base Commissions, the ability to add a new Pay Line to the Income Position is granted; permitting for an unlimited potential number of Pay Lines per Income Position. In addition to this, the ARIIX Representative will also be given the option of operating a new Income Position within the Pay Line which reached the optimized $2,000 in Base Commissions, allowing for continued support and additional earnings from the depths of that organization. The Activ8 Base Commission model provides the ability to build your organization infinitely wide and infinitely deep.

Team Lead Bonus

The qualifying Representative at Team Lead or above, with at least four Active Personally Sponsored ARIIX Members in their team will earn an additional $33.75.

Shares are issued for each optimized Income Position a Representative has within that week; one share for their first optimized Income Position, two shares for their second (totaling three), and three shares for their third (totaling six).

MISUNDERSTANDING
People sometimes think that if someone is paid a commission on more than one level of the company, then its a pyramid. This is false. Every CEO or owner earns on all the levels of his/her company.

common questions:

ABOUT STRUCTURE
The employees on any given level of a corporation earn less money than those on the level above them. Within the corporation (and government), this is called chain of command.

The pyramid shape occurs when ANY person or organization becomes overwhelmed. Think about it, if you ran a childrens daycare, how many kids could you manage before you became overwhelmed? Three? Five? Seven? What if you were in charge of twenty kids? Youd have to hire other people to help you manage them. Lets say you hire two workers and divide the kids between the three of you. Now its manageable. Thats not a pyramid, even though its shaped like one. Its simply the most

DO THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP

MAKE ALL THE MONEY?
Some people believe that people at the top of a network marketing organization make most or all of the money. Sometimes this is true, but it is also true in all businesses. The average employee in the United States earned $29,544 in 2006. In the same year, the average CEO earned over $10 million in total compensation! Associated Press survey of 386 Fortune 500 companies

common questions:

In a broker/rep type of business, there are people layered throughout the organization who are making more money than the people who brought them into the business.
Therefore, the people at the top dont necessarily earn more than those below them. You dont find this in other business models.

DO YOU HAVE TO GET IN

AT THE BEGINNING?
Some people feel you must get in early or at the very beginning of a company to be successful.
This is false. The earlier you get in on the TREND, the better, but how early you join the company isnt the issue. The concept of get in early comes from the investment industry. There, you try to buy an asset (stock, real estate, etc.) at the beginning and sell it to some person later because you dont think it will go much higher. Get in at the beginning, get out at the top. Rarely (if ever) is the first person in a network marketing company the highest paid person. This is proof that one doesnt have to get in at the beginning.

TOO BUSY
Of course youre busy. Everyone is busy. But when will it change?

common questions:

NOT ENOUGH TIME

These two phrases lock a person into less time. Wealth (of money and time) is hidden from those who insist on doing all the work themselves. Wealth reveals itself to those who are patient enough to train others. The secret is to have the patience to train others so that you can get more done.

The reason people dont have enough time is not because they were given less time than anyone else. Its more because they frequently have either one or both of these ideas: I can do it better myself or I can do it quicker myself.

BE A PROFESSIONAL
COMMUNICATOR
In every business and in every profession, good communication is the key to gaining customers.
Communication is a learned skill that is required in nearly everything you do. Every minute spent - and every penny spent - learning to communicate more effectively will be well worth the investment. As you have probably noticed, in every type of business, there are good communicators who do things in a professional, first-class way and there are others who come across as abrasive or unprofessional. Professionalism comes down to doing the right thing for the customer. Sometimes the right thing is NOT selling your product or service to a person. In other circumstances, a person who very much needs your product will decide against purchasing it because they cannot understand the need. Dont turn your back on them. Part of the obligation of being a professional is to help the customers see for themselves WHY they need your product. If they still cant see the need, you know that you tried your best. Assuming you truly have a product that helps people, focus on finding people who want it rather than trying to force it on those who dont want it. Be a professional. It will make you proud of what you do.

WORKAHOLIC PREVENTION
Owning a business that uses the broker/rep system allows you to create more wealth than you could if you tried to do all the work yourself. For example, if the maximum number of hours a person can work in a day is 24 and the maximum number of days a person can work in a year is 365, then the maximum number of hours a person can work in a year is 8,760. However, if you earned a percentage on the work of 100 people who each worked 8 hours per day for a year, you would be paid on 292,000 hours! Far more than you could ever possibly do yourself. That is how you gain more time and achieve freedom. That is also how you gain wealth in your business.

24 hours per day x 365 days = 8,760 hours per year

SUMMARY
To build your own successful business:
Ensure that your business makes peoples lives better. Ensure that your product is unique and consumable. Ensure that your product is positioned in front of large trends.
