				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge Men&#8217;s Finalist Brad Hoover of Lexington Park, Maryland, first heard about Bod•ē from a Facebook post. &#8220;At that point, my weight was up to 242 and I&#8217;d just bought two size-40 pants. I was embarrassed to be that size,&#8221; he admits. In the past, he&#8217;d tried more weight loss programs than he could remember, but they always felt restrictive and unsustainable. &#8220;After talking to my little sister, I decided to sign up with Bod•ē. The first week I was on the program, I was off work, which was good since I could get used to the eating plan. I like to cook, so I tried all the recipes that sounded good to me.&#8221; At the Vemma Convention in Vegas, Brad was announced as one of the two Men&#8217;s Finalists. Brad won an all-expense-paid trip to Vegas (which included a shopping spree and a makeover) and $1,000 in cash.</p>
<p><strong>12 weeks, 42 pounds down**</strong><br />
Two weeks after starting the program, Brad went to the VA hospital for a regular appointment with a doctor who had been encouraging him to lose weight. &#8220;The doctor was astonished to see I&#8217;d lost 17 pounds.** She wanted to know what I was doing. At that point, I realized, this is definitely going to work. I&#8217;m staying on the Bod•ē program.&#8221; Brad planned meals in advance, cooking every chicken recipe on the plan. &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t believe chicken Parmesan was a suggested recipe! That was my favorite.&#8221; After a while, Brad noticed a change in his energy level and came home from work feeling ready to go to the gym in the evenings instead of &#8220;finding a permanent place on the couch with the remote control,&#8221; which was what he&#8217;d been doing before.** &#8220;I like surprises,&#8221; he says, &#8220;so after week eight, I didn&#8217;t weigh myself until the end of the 12 weeks. It was a great surprise seeing that I&#8217;d lost 42 pounds.&#8221;**</p>
<p><strong>Walking off the weight</strong><br />
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been a disabled vet since 1986, and due to injuries, I can&#8217;t do any aerobic activity other than walking,&#8221; Brad says. &#8220;When I started the program, I hadn&#8217;t been doing any kind of exercise at all, so I started walking half an hour a day on the treadmill. It was hard at first, but I have the TV in front of me, so that makes it fun.&#8221; Brad has now worked up to a fast-paced 4.2 miles an hour at a 14% incline and walks over four miles a day.** &#8220;That&#8217;s a 1,200-calorie burn,&#8221; Brad shares. &#8220;At the gym, other people around me can&#8217;t figure out why they&#8217;re not burning as many calories. One woman on the treadmill next to me was running the whole time, and she kept looking at my machine, but she hadn&#8217;t even burned half as many calories. She asked me what was up, and I told her it&#8217;s the incline.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Guilt-free days and skinny clothes</strong><br />
Brad enjoys the guilt-free day once a week, which works out perfectly for when he and his wife get together with friends. &#8220;One of the great things about this program is that I&#8217;m able to enjoy the same lifestyle as before. We party with friends on the weekend just like we always have, but the program teaches my body how to burn the calories and the carbs.** I think the best thing about losing weight is buying a new wardrobe. At the shopping spree in Vegas, that was the first time I&#8217;d bought &#8216;skinny&#8217; clothes. It was the first time in years that I felt proud wearing a snug-fitting T-shirt. I considered it a win when I lost those first 17 pounds, so hitting my 42-pound goal, becoming a finalist and winning that trip to Vegas was incredible.** We loved getting picked up in the Vemma vehicle (there&#8217;s a BBQ grill in back!), staying in a fantastic room and winning the shopping trip to Nordstrom — that was just super amazing.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Success Tips from Brad</strong><br />
• Don&#8217;t eat late at night. I don&#8217;t eat after 6 p.m.<br />
• Follow the program. It&#8217;s simple. You&#8217;ll feel 100% better.<br />
• Enjoy those five meals a day — my co-workers couldn&#8217;t believe I could eat so much and still lose weight.<br />
• Prepare your meals in advance.<br />
• The Bod•ē Shakes make a great early-morning breakfast! I wake up really early, so it&#8217;s a perfect way to start my day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>**Results not typical, you may not do as well. Two pilot studies conducted by Vemma showed that 55 participants who followed the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan for 12 weeks using Vemma Bod•ē Burn, Bod•ē Rest and Bod•ē Cleanse, lost an average of 14.8 pounds. Not all participants will complete the plan, or accurately follow the directions and guidelines of the plan. Vemma Nutrition Company recommends you follow a healthy approach to weight loss by consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise, diet plan, nutrition or supplementation program, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or regularly use prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Vemma Bod•ē products as part of the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and 10 minutes of daily exercise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/amber-and-chuck-lampe.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-8931" alt="Amber &amp; Chuck Lampe" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/amber-and-chuck-lampe-300x214.jpg" width="300" height="214" /></a><br />
Vemma Star Platinum Brand Partners Chuck and Amber Lampe are rapidly building a strong business from their home in Boone, Iowa. They enrolled last September and achieved Platinum within a month.* “Though we have been in network marketing for almost five years,&#8221; Amber says, &#8220;this is the first time we are building a business together and it feels amazing! We made a commitment to ourselves and our three children &#8211; Ella (9), Josie (7) and Luke (5) &#8211; to build a legacy that would allow us more time together as a family. Vemma offers the perfect combination of the best business opportunity in the industry with the best products in the market!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Finding fun again</strong><br />
Amber has been in the mortgage business for 15 years, but has been affected by recent changes in the industry. “Since legislation changes took effect, the fun went out of my job,” Amber says. “That’s when I started looking for something different. Vemma is so fun! It’s about forming relationships and setting goals. Plus, the media exposure Vemma gets is an amazing free bonus to Brand Partners. It makes building a business so simple!” Amber brings her polished professionalism to their Vemma business and enjoys the freedom it gives her. &#8220;The Vemma opportunity has given us more options financially, but best of all — true time freedom.* Since our children are the center of our world, that is the best reward.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Lead on</strong><br />
Chuck is on active duty in the military as a Blackhawk Pilot and Commander of Army Aviation Support Facility. He appreciates the leadership skills he’s learned as he’s built a business with his wife. “Focusing on personal development has helped me not just in our Vemma business, but it’s also made me a better commander in the military. These skills you learn in Vemma — planning, goal setting, speaking in front of groups — will help you in everything you do in life.” Chuck enjoys teaching their children about the business. “We involve our children in the business and make them part of the fun. We call our kids ‘Master Brand Partners&#8217; and discuss our goals and celebrate success together as a family.”</p>
<p><strong>Loving Vemma</strong><br />
As part of Brian Cook’s team that joined Vemma in the last year, the Lampes are new to Vemma, but experienced in the industry. “We’ve made a lot of mistakes over the years, and we share the good and the bad with our team, so hopefully they can avoid learning things the hard way,&#8221; says Chuck.</p>
<p>Amber adds, &#8220;We were looking for a company with a winning combination of excellent products, a rewarding compensation plan, and lots of positive media exposure. When we were first introduced to Vemma, we knew that it was the right company to be in at the right time. We are having the time of our lives building this business together! We are able to surround ourselves with like-minded professionals and help others achieve their dreams and goals. It truly doesn&#8217;t get any better than this!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Success Tips from the Lampes</strong><br />
• Be patient. Keep your excitement!<br />
• Clarify your Why and make it a daily motivation.<br />
• Be coachable. Success leaves clues, so find someone in your leadership line who is successful and duplicate what they do.<br />
• Involve your kids. Set goals as a family to make it a family business.<br />
• Follow through. If you say you&#8217;ll do something, do it.<br />
• Don’t give up!</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-bode-team-winners.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8922 " style=" margin-right: 60px;" alt="Winning Team of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-bode-team-winners.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>With the Team category making its debut as part of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge, the CentralCal Champions proved how effective working as a team can be by getting healthy together and winning the grand prize spot. Sisters Pam Yniguez and Judy Inman, together with their husbands, Robert Yniguez and Ron Inman, took on the Bod•ē Challenge with a goal to lose weight and build healthy habits together. Their results have been outstanding: In 12 weeks, they lost a combined total of 150 pounds!** Their names were announced in Vegas as the Grand Prize-winning team, and each of them won $250 in cash and a Bod•ē-branded iPad. &#8220;The best prize of all was getting rid of all that weight,&#8221; says Judy, the team captain. &#8220;Although the iPads will be fun to use sitting around at Starbucks — we just got them today! We&#8217;re all in our 50s and are part of the WPR — the Wise People Revolution. Since taking the Challenge, we all have so much energy now!&#8221;**</p>
<p><strong>The Inmans on setting goals</strong></p>
<p>Judy and Ron Inman truly transformed their lives during the Challenge. &#8220;For me, getting my mobility back was an amazing side benefit to taking the Challenge,&#8221; says Judy, who lost 33 pounds.** &#8220;After losing weight, I&#8217;m now going on two-hour-long walks, taking the stairs, and doing Pilates.** This is a big change from what my life was like before!&#8221; They often planned meals ahead of time and loved using the Bod•ē app. &#8220;It&#8217;s a very doable program,&#8221; says 59-year-old Ron, who lost 57 pounds.** &#8220;If I can do it, anybody can. My habits used to be eating candy bars. After I&#8217;d been on the program a few weeks, the urge for sugary snacks went away.** It&#8217;s important to set weight loss goals. If you don&#8217;t set goals, you won&#8217;t ever achieve them.&#8221; His wife Judy agrees: &#8220;I love that Walt Disney quote, &#8216;The way to get started is to quit talking and start doing.&#8217; We&#8217;re not saying it was easy to lose this weight, but we loved doing it as a team and having that camaraderie,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It was very motivating.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Stick with it, say the Yniguezes </strong></p>
<p>Rob and Pam Yniguez say that it&#8217;s important to stay on the program even if the numbers aren&#8217;t adding up as fast as you&#8217;d like. &#8220;One week I&#8217;d stay the same,&#8221; says Rob, &#8220;but then the next I&#8217;d lose again, so you&#8217;ve got to stick with it. I ended the Challenge losing 31 pounds, and I&#8217;ve kept losing, so I&#8217;m up to 37 now.** Definitely save money for new clothes, because you&#8217;re going to need them by the end of the Challenge.&#8221; Pam, who lost 29 pounds on the Challenge, says that her clothes got so noticeably baggy toward the end of the 12 weeks that her co-workers gave her a $100 gift card to a department store for her birthday.** She encourages new people to take the Challenge and go on the program. &#8220;Just do it,&#8221; she says. &#8220;Join the Challenge. Even if you don&#8217;t win the Challenge, look at what you&#8217;ve won for yourself!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Learning healthy habits for life</b></p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve all tried other weight loss systems before,&#8221; says Judy, &#8220;but we&#8217;ve always gained back the weight.&#8221; The key to their success on this program, they say, is that it teaches them to eat normal, everyday foods in a healthy way. This means they can keep going with healthy choices and incorporate the plan into their lifestyle. &#8220;The thing that makes Bod•ē so different is that it teaches you how to eat for life,&#8221; Ron says. &#8220;It&#8217;s not hard to figure out, and you can eat almost anywhere.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>No better time than now to get healthy!</b></p>
<p>Looking to lose some weight and get healthy? There’s no better time than now to get started! Challenge yourself to change your body and life. The next Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge starts May 20! The only thing you have to lose is the weight! Find out more <a href="http://www.vemma.com/chrispowellchallenge">here</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>**Results not typical, you may not do as well. Two pilot studies conducted by Vemma showed that 55 participants who followed the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan for 12 weeks using Vemma Bod•ē Burn, Bod•ē Rest and Bod•ē Cleanse, lost an average of 14.8 pounds. Not all participants will complete the plan, or accurately follow the directions and guidelines of the plan. Vemma Nutrition Company recommends you follow a healthy approach to weight loss by consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise, diet plan, nutrition or supplementation program, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or regularly use prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Vemma Bod•ē products as part of the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and 10 minutes of daily exercise.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-diego-avila.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8843" alt="Diego Avila" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-diego-avila.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Diego Avila remembers his family struggling through recent hard winters in Ohio. With both of his parents unemployed, Diego’s father shoveled snow off of driveways to earn a living.</p>
<p>“He came home one day and his boots looked completely frozen,” Diego says. “His feet were so cold he could barely walk. I had to carry him to the tub to warm him up.” Diego credits Vemma for giving him the opportunity to help his family financially.* “One day, my father was lying sick in bed because he was overcome from chemicals at a cleaning job he had picked up to try to earn a little money,” he said. “That was the day I said, ‘Dad, you don’t have to do this anymore.’” Having already reached Executive and with his father now retired, Diego looks forward to buying his parents a new house later this year.* “There’s no better feeling than to make a difference in the lives of people you care about,” he says. “That’s the best reward.”</p>
<p><b>On the path to prosperity</b></p>
<p>Diego’s success was not immediate, though. It came step by step, and it all started with a spark. He explains, “I was working at a hotel and had a long bike ride to get there every day, and knew that I needed to make more money to help my family. Their financial situation really pushed me to look for better opportunities.” A friend of his from Arizona State University mentioned Vemma. He did a little research, and then decided to join the business.</p>
<p>“The first few days were a time of uncertainty for me,” says Diego. “I didn’t know if I could truly be a leader. But then, suddenly, a spark went off in me, an inner spark of recognition. I knew then that I could be a leader.” It was this defining moment that inspired him to begin a path of self-development and personal growth. He began reading books on leadership and worked on improving his communication skills. “The personal development gained through Vemma is hugely underrated. I was forced to be a leader. I’ve gone from simply looking for ways to make extra cash and helping my family, to being a successful Vemma Executive Brand Partner and mentor for others.”</p>
<p><b>Principles of leadership</b></p>
<p>Diego adopted people-oriented principles of leadership that he always understood naturally, and applied them to his work with Vemma. “This is a business where everything rises and falls on leadership,” he says. “In many ways, people will buy the product based on their belief in what you represent, what you stand for as a person,” he says. “You need to show that you have conviction and genuinely care about people.” With his own team, he stays in touch through frequent text messages, email, and social media such as Facebook. He also makes a point of making personal, congratulatory phone calls to any Brand Partner on his team who advances to the next level. “Studies have shown that people are highly motivated by praise and recognition,” he says. “I’ve learned that a little support and encouragement along the way can make a difference for people new to the business, as it did for me.”</p>
<p><b>The conviction to keep going</b></p>
<p>One of the main roadblocks for Diego happened right at the beginning — getting started and establishing credibility. “The hardest part is having someone believe in you,” he says. “My Upline was essential.” Diego’s mentors include Alex Morton, Zach Babiarz and Nick Ptak. “They always believed in me. Initially, I just needed to get to the point where I believed in myself.”</p>
<p>By relying on his Upline, Diego was able to find the inner spark of conviction that has inspired him ever since and made a dramatic difference in his life. “You have to believe 100 percent in what you are doing,” he says. “Now, I am in a position where I don’t need anyone to tell me that I’m a leader. I’m out there encouraging others to do the same.”</p>
<p><b>Building for the future</b></p>
<p>Diego is looking forward to continuing his success and goals of becoming Royal Ambassador by the time of next year’s Vemma Convention. Beyond that, he has a larger vision of helping improve the lives of others on a global scale. His long-term aspiration is to build houses in Guatemala. “I feel like there are many more people that I can help,” says Diego. “My family is originally from Guatemala, so I’d like to return someday and help people in the community there by building houses. Helping others is a big motivation for me.”</p>
<p>His advice to anyone starting out in their Vemma business: “Never let a small defeat become a permanent failure, but see it as a little bump in the road.” In coaching, Diego often cites his own defining moment, that moment of certainty when he felt sure that he could achieve anything. “Keep in mind that just because you experience a little failure doesn’t mean that the entire mission is a failure. Don’t give up. Be open-minded and be willing to learn something new or different. Most importantly, find that inner spark to believe in yourself, and you can accomplish anything.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>*“Results not typical, your results may vary. The success or failure of each individual is dependent on their own efforts. The Company has generally expected results which can be obtained by visiting <a href="http://www.vemma.com/">www.vemma.com</a>.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-ryan-kanowski.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8846" style="margin: 2px 15px; border: 0pt none;" alt="Ryan Kanowski" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-ryan-kanowski.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It took eight weeks for Vemma Diamond Brand Partner Ryan Kanowski to make the decision to sign up with Vemma, but only 14 weeks for him to get Platinum Club car qualified and rank advance to Diamond.* &#8220;It&#8217;s cool how it happens — how with a great team we can accomplish so much,&#8221; says Ryan, a well-known DJ from Buffalo, New York. &#8220;I&#8217;ve done a lot of awesome things — hosted shows with audiences of 400,000 and opened for some big bands — and Vemma is the most exciting thing I&#8217;ve ever done. I didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d even hit Bronze this fast!* In just over three months, our Vemma team in Buffalo has grown from just a few kids to almost 400 people.&#8221;*</p>
<p><strong>Becoming business-minded</strong><br />
&#8220;Before I was in Vemma, I&#8217;d kind of settled,&#8221; Ryan says. His job paid well, and he enjoyed his work, but working weekends left him with a lot of free time during the week. &#8220;You get in Vemma and get around people who are goal driven, who are hugely successful, and you see another world. You realize the possibilities. You see that wealthy people aren&#8217;t the ones working 9-to-5 jobs. They&#8217;re the ones who own a business. I do the Vemma business during the week, when I used to be hanging out at coffee shops all day or watching movies. People my age (in their 20s) who have a job, who are self-sufficient — we just need to try something new!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>A &#8220;people first&#8221; business</strong><br />
As a Vemma Brand Partner, Ryan appreciates the way this business is a people business. &#8220;For me, it&#8217;s not about money. I&#8217;ve always been someone who likes to help people out and I volunteer for a lot of charities. Vemma is an opportunity to help people out and do the right thing.&#8221; Through Vemma, he&#8217;s been able to help friends who are struggling find a purpose and overcome all kinds of adversity. &#8220;I like that in Vemma, you&#8217;re not told you&#8217;re not good enough. That&#8217;s common in today&#8217;s workforce. I don&#8217;t feel expendable anymore. It&#8217;s a powerful feeling.&#8221;</p>
<p>As part of Ruth Elliott&#8217;s team, Ryan has met some amazingly successful people and he&#8217;s noticed something they have in common: they write down their goals. &#8220;My next goal is to go out there and throw cool Verve parties for college kids. On my radio show, I can&#8217;t even mention Vemma (I tried and almost got fired!), so it would be great to someday join my DJ side and my Vemma business on my own terms.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Success Tips from Ryan:</strong><br />
• Say less to more people.<br />
• This business isn&#8217;t about showing the haters you&#8217;re right. It&#8217;s about being the one who took a step in the opposite direction, did well, and then re-invited the haters later on.<br />
• Make zero room for any kind of negativity.<br />
• Learn the difference between a boss and a leader. You&#8217;ll succeed by helping build powerful leaders.<br />
• Write down your goals and learn from successful people.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Vemma Ambassador Adam Wenig first heard about Vemma (and Verve) from a fraternity friend at Cal Poly. At the same time, he was watching friends graduate from prestigious colleges, only to move back in with their parents when they couldn&#8217;t find jobs. &#8220;I decided Vemma looked a lot more promising than the financial prospects my generation is facing. So Patrick Comer and I started our business by promoting Vemma in my fraternity and then set out to share the product and opportunity all over Cal Poly.&#8221; Just 11 months after joining Vemma, the 20-year-old college student hit Star Presidential and started making a serious income.* Two months ago, Adam hit Ambassador, just in time for Convention.*</p>
<p><strong>Entering the entrepreneurial mindset</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;My dad gave me a copy of <i>Rich Dad Poor Dad</i> when I was in high school, and I learned from it that if you want to go out there and make a lot of money, you have to create something and build something yourself,&#8221; Adam says. Although Vemma was Adam&#8217;s first taste of network marketing, he&#8217;d made the decision early on that he was going to own his own business. &#8220;In high school, I ran a car detailing business and realized I could make more money doing my own thing rather than working for someone else. I hired some neighbor kids, and I learned how to organize things and work with people. Later, after joining Vemma, I read <i>Think and Grow Rich,</i> and I realized I could change my mindset and attitude and ultimately change my future by using the Law of Attraction.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Create something that&#8217;s worthy of you</b></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the best thing about Vemma for Adam? &#8220;This business allows you to go out there and create something that is worthy of you,&#8221; says Adam. &#8220;I saw this was working for other kids, I got excited, and I started telling my friends about it. People my age are drinking energy drinks or coffee anyway, so Verve is a great business for my age group. Like a lot of new people, we only experienced modest results at first because we were trying to do everything on our own. But when we decided to work smarter rather than harder by plugging into the system, everything changed dramatically.&#8221; Adam says things really started to happen after he changed his habits and started following Tom Alkazin&#8217;s Roadmap to Success. &#8220;You have to become a successful person first, and then the money will follow.* It&#8217;s a different way of looking at it.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Adam&#8217;s Tips for Success</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Set a goal of where you want to be in six months and then 12 months.</li>
<li>Persist no matter how long it takes.</li>
<li>Wake up and read something that inspires you, and then map out your day.</li>
<li>In order for things to change, you have to change. I was stuck at Diamond for three months and had to make new habits and get serious in order to advance further.</li>
<li><em>&#8220;Success is the progressive realization of a worthy</em> goal.&#8221; —Earl Nightingale</li>
</ul>

		<title>Coach Erics Clark: Helping People Achieve Their Dreams</title>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-erics-clark.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8850" title="Erics Clark" alt="Erics Clark" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/main-erics-clark.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>While talking with Vemma Diamond Brand Partner Erics Clark, one central idea runs through his daily life and actions: he loves to help other people shine. &#8220;I love helping other people live their dreams,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I teach young kids things I didn&#8217;t learn until I was training with the NFL. I develop athletes in my sports business and leaders with Vemma.” A former college and pro football player, Erics contracted a nearly fatal case of pneumonia in his early twenties that left him alive, but 40 pounds lighter. After that and a few injuries, he abandoned his football career and started his own athletic training business for young athletes, which now offers the premier youth sports camps in Orange County. “I don&#8217;t have an ego. I&#8217;m always learning from everyone.&#8221; Maybe that&#8217;s Erics&#8217; secret: After all he&#8217;s achieved, and everywhere he&#8217;s been, he still keeps learning.</p>
<p>Although Erics was earning a six-figure income with his sports training business, he saw something about the Vemma opportunity that he couldn&#8217;t ignore. &#8220;I&#8217;ve never wanted to go work for a boss. Vemma gives people the opportunity to do what I do — to own their own business. I love Verve Bold, and as a trainer, I think Bod•ē Burn is one of the best products ever invented. It delivers the protein and the energy you need for a workout.* The thing I like best about Vemma is it gives me the chance to help people achieve their dreams. They see the light at the end of the tunnel, and find a way to make it to that upper echelon they dreamed of when they were kids.&#8221;**</p>
<p><strong>Training athletes &#8230; and Brand Partners</strong></p>
<p>Erics says that training young athletes is a little like training Brand Partners. &#8220;If you&#8217;re training a big group of players, your main job is to make sure they stay on point and stay in the game. You have to make decisions on the fly sometimes, and you&#8217;ve got to be good at speaking in front of groups and telling your story. Some will quit, and others stick with it and go on to the starting line next season. When they do, it feels so good to know you&#8217;ve helped them achieve their dreams.&#8221; The same can be said about achieving success in Vemma, consistency and a willingness to learn are fundamental.</p>
<p><strong>Making the business work his way</strong></p>
<p>Although Erics is in the same age range as his YPR team, he&#8217;s quick to point out that he runs his business a bit differently. &#8220;As a father of two, I can&#8217;t go to late-night meetings at the drop of a hat. If I tried to run my business like some of the YPR brand partners do, I&#8217;d never see my wife and kids,&#8221; he laughs. However, Erics insists that you can learn something from everybody, even if you don&#8217;t do things exactly their way. The YPR group is well known for their quick action, so he incorporates this trait into his business. &#8220;Within 24 hours of joining, I do a training call with every new Brand Partner. And if a meeting comes up, and I can&#8217;t go in person, we do it by Skype. I encourage people to ask me questions. I think a common mistake for new people is that they hesitate to ask questions. I tell my team, you aren&#8217;t bothering me. Ask away! Let&#8217;s get this thing moving!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Erics&#8217; Tips for Success</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Stay plugged in to your leaders, your team&#8217;s Facebook page, meetings, etc.</li>
<li>Be consistent.</li>
<li>Share your story.</li>
<li>Stay coachable and keep learning.</li>
<li>Make your business a priority.</li>
</ul>

<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">About Nick Ptak</li>
<li>Nick is 23 years old and Executive. He&#8217;s been with Vemma for 16 months and was introduced by John Stitzinger, who was invited by Devon Arnold (Executive Leader) to a Suns game in the Verve Lounge at US Airways Center. His next goal is to hit Presidential.</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">How Vemma changed him:</li>
<li>Nick truly has a passion for helping people change their lives in every aspect. He now understands anything in life is possible with the right mindset.</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">Advice to new people:</li>
<li>&#8220;Learn as much as you can, and commit 100 percent of your time, effort, money, focus and faith in God to Vemma. Plug in with your upline daily, make huge goals, learn the industry, and develop your personal brand and how you are unique.&#8221;</li>

<ul style="list-style: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">About Andrew Baer</li>
<li>Andrew is 30 years old and Presidential. He has been with Vemma for two years and was introduced by Alex Morton. His next goal is to reach Ambassador by August. Andrew feels that if he helps enough people achieve their goals, his rank will take care of itself.</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">How Vemma changed him:</li>
<li>Andrew says, &#8220;I was blessed to come across this opportunity right as I was about to agree to a $36K/year salary, ultimately working 9–5 to help someone else get wealthy and only making myself a living, yet not truly living life. I now realize that I was not put on this earth to slave away for large corporations, but rather to enjoy life on my own terms through networking with awesome people and traveling the world to see all of its amazing places and cultures while continuing to meet more people.&#8221;</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">Advice to new people:</li>
<li>&#8220;Attack this business like your life depends on it, and it will change your entire perception of the world around you. Work hard for a couple of years and do what others won’t, so you can enjoy the rest of your life and live it how they can’t.* Do not treat it like a warm bath — commit to it completely if you want to obtain the results you see the top leaders achieving.* Follow their guidance, advice and the system in place as they lead by example. And maybe the biggest issue: Do not prejudge anyone. You have no idea who or where the next big momentum surge in your business will come from.&#8221;</li>

<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold;">About Felipe Gabriele</li>
<li>Felipe is a 27-year-old Star Executive. He&#8217;s been with Vemma for 12 months. Felipe was introduced to Vemma by one of his personal training clients at the time, Rick and his wife Judy Duque, who are two of the top Star Platinum Leaders in Canada. His next goal is to be Presidential by July and Ambassador by fall&#8230; ultimately &#8220;Star Royal Ambassador.&#8221;</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">How Vemma changed him:</li>
<li>The saying goes, &#8220;Choose a job you love, and you&#8217;ll never have to work a day in your life!&#8221; Felipe says, &#8220;It&#8217;s simple: I&#8217;m just happy! Vemma has changed my outlook on life and has made me a better person. Being mentored by Bob and Linda Proctor, Dr. Stelios Nikolakakis, and Rick and Judy Duque, I&#8217;ve really learned how to change my paradigms to always maintain an attitude of gratitude and a positive state of mind. Once you can do that, the law of attraction takes over and takes care of the rest, and you can have anything you&#8217;ve ever dreamed of! For me, it&#8217;s all about having the time freedom to be with family, especially watching my daughter Everley grow up every single day!&#8221;</li>
<li style="padding: 0px; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 10px;">Advice to new people:</li>
<li>&#8220;Be a lion. Lions don&#8217;t lose sleep over the opinions of sheep. If you accept other people&#8217;s opinions, you will accept other people&#8217;s lifestyles. So know what you really want in life, write it down, have a strong and deep enough Why, and don&#8217;t let anyone who doesn&#8217;t have what you want deter you. Who you spend time with is who you become, so surround yourself with people who have what you want, or at least with people who are going where you want to go!&#8221;</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hip Hop Preacher Eric Thomas sits down with Platinum Brand Partner Noelle Rapisarda and special guests. Noelle was introduced to Vemma through her good friend Jovana Stewart when a Facebook post caught her eye. Joining Noelle and Eric Thomas on the call are Logan Holle and Andy Workman.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SKIARS0UqUc" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>How Vemma changed her:</p>
<p>“This opportunity has changed me for the better in so many ways. It has taken me out of the mundane, corporate grind and allowed me to dream again and creatively work towards goals and a lifestyle that I have always wanted. I am incredibly proud to be a part of my team and feel so blessed to have met the people I have – many of them I consider family now. It has shown me that I have the power to positively influence people’s lives and accomplish things that I never thought possible for myself. I always knew I wanted to do great things with my life and leave a legacy and I am able to see so clearly now that this opportunity is my vehicle to do just that.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Advice to new people:</p>
<p>“The greatest piece of advice I can give to the Brand Partners who are just starting the business is to not give up, don’t ever give up. You are going to run into a lot of people who are going to tell you that you’re crazy, it’s never going to work for you, don’t waste your time with one of “those things.” People love to hate on people who take a chance in life, who aren’t afraid to do something different. They hate mainly because they are too afraid to do it themselves. But you need to have thick skin, ignore anyone who isn’t supportive and believe in yourself that you are going to not only make it work, but you’re going to build a million dollar business. Lastly, do not get discouraged if people quit. My favorite quote is, “Many who started with you may not finish with you – GO ANYWAY.” You cannot be influenced by other people or their decisions – stay positive, stay plugged in, stay excited, and mainly…dream big!”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watch now as Eric Thomas, the Hip Hop Preacher, sits down with Zachary Babiarz, a Star Executive at just 21 years of age. He was introduced to Vemma through Nick Ptak and Alex Morton and has been with the company for a year. Zachary tells us his next goal is to get at least five more people in his downline car qualified next month. Joining Zachary Babiarz on the call are Vemma Executive Brand Partner Diego Avila, Diamond Brand Partner Danny Wilgenbusch, and Platinum Brand Partner Zac Meyer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KQnI8VvlKtY" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How Vemma changed him:</strong></p>
<p>Zachary tells us, “It has changed my life in so many ways, mostly my mindset. I completely shifted from an employee mindset to an entrepreneurial mindset. This has helped me build lifelong business skills and relationships. I’ve become a much more positive person since beginning this business and now I’ve developed a strong passion to teach others how to build wealth and inspire them to achieve success.”</p>
<p><strong>Advice to new people:</strong></p>
<p>“Be coachable and open to learn new things. Know that this is a marathon and not a sprint; it’s not just going to happen for you. You have to put in the work needed and make it happen. Study and follow successful people, and stay connected every day with your upline and downline. Become obsessed with success.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Texans Scott and Nelda Lawson are the first-ever Grand Prize winners of the Chris Powell Bod•ē Challenge Couple&#8217;s category. Between the two of them, they&#8217;ve lost 113 pounds and have made a total lifestyle change.** As Grand Prize winners, they won an ultimate makeover retreat in Vegas (which included travel expenses, a shopping spree and salon services), a $5,000 cruise package, and $1,000 cash. &#8220;Nelda has always been beautiful,&#8221; says Scott, &#8220;but now people are freaking out because she is so totally hot. It was a blast to see her at the shopping spree!&#8221; Scott says he and Nelda have both been overweight most of their adult lives and tried many attempts at weight loss. &#8220;We&#8217;ve never been on a program like Bod•ē, where it&#8217;s a lifestyle change and not just a temporary fix,&#8221; Nelda says. Scott agrees, &#8220;When we heard Chris Powell designed the program, and that the Vemma formula was in the products, we knew it would be amazing. We knew, coming in, that this was for life.&#8221;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/poc9Li2kDgg" height="480" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<h2>Scott&#8217;s weight loss: 57 pounds and counting**</h2>
<p>&#8220;I have been morbidly obese for most of my adult life,&#8221; says Scott, a 48-year-old Vemma Brand Partner and the Coordinator of Youth Ministry at St. Joseph Catholic Church. &#8220;Before the Challenge, I was starting to think that surgery was my only option. About the only exercise I used to get was pushing the remote control!&#8221; He says he&#8217;s developed his wife&#8217;s love of exercise, learned portion control, and doesn&#8217;t feel as hungry as he used to.** Scott lost 57 pounds during the 12-Week Challenge and he&#8217;s still going for another 20 pounds or so.** &#8220;We&#8217;ve got some friendly competition going on. At one point, Nelda was beating me with the weight loss — and everyone says it&#8217;s easier for men to lose weight — so I knew I had to try harder. I definitely wouldn&#8217;t have been as successful if I&#8217;d done this alone. It&#8217;s been great doing this together.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Nelda&#8217;s weight loss: 56 pounds and counting**</h2>
<p>&#8220;Before the Challenge, I was wearing a size 18/20, and now I&#8217;m in a size 8,&#8221; Nelda shares.** &#8220;I can&#8217;t even remember the last time I was a size 8 — it must have been in high school, before Scott and I met.&#8221; She maintains that diet is a four-letter word, and that Bod•ē is a lifestyle change. &#8220;To change your body, you have to change your mind first. The Challenge helped us do that.&#8221; Nelda encourages people everywhere to do something good for their health and take the Bod•ē Challenge. &#8220;We didn&#8217;t even know if we should turn in our results yet, since we haven&#8217;t quite reached our goals yet,&#8221; Nelda says. &#8220;We&#8217;re still on the program! Even during that week in Vegas, we stuck to the program and came home lighter than when we left.** So far, we&#8217;ve lost almost 60 pounds apiece, and we&#8217;ve truly made a lifestyle transformation.** We&#8217;re showing our kids what eating healthy really is.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Enjoying some creature comforts</h2>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t pamper ourselves much,&#8221; Nelda says. &#8220;Scott works for a church, and I work for the state, so the ultimate makeover retreat in Vegas was really special. I&#8217;d never had a real manicure. And the shopping spree! In our jobs and as a family, we like to help other people out, so getting so much pampering ourselves was amazing.&#8221; Scott chimes in, &#8220;We&#8217;ve been married 25 years and never even went on a honeymoon, so we&#8217;re looking forward to enjoying the cruise we won together!&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Tips from Scott &amp; Nelda</h2>
<ul>
<li>Plan your meals ahead. This is key if your life is fast-paced!<b></b></li>
<li>If you mess up, forgive yourself and get back on the program.</li>
<li>Losing weight as a couple (or with a friend) is easier than doing it alone.</li>
<li>For variety, change the spices!</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t get discouraged if you don&#8217;t lose anything some weeks. If you stick with the program, it&#8217;ll come off. Keep going! You can do it!</li>
<li>&#8220;You accomplish victory step by step, not by leaps and bounds.&#8221; — Lyn St. James</li>
</ul>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/main-challenge-robin-phillips.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8635" alt="main-challenge-robin-phillips" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/main-challenge-robin-phillips.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>What makes a true champion? Talk to Vemma Brand Partner Robin Phillips, who just became the Women&#8217;s Grand Prize Winner of the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge. As a military wife, stay-at-home mom, entrepreneur and mother of three, Robin has many demands on her time, so she needed a weight loss program that would fit easily into her lifestyle. Bod•ē fit the bill. Robin accepted the challenge, lost 25 pounds, and became a weight loss champion to friends and family.** &#8220;Winning was a complete surprise. When I entered, it was because I needed a personal challenge. I&#8217;m looking forward to the cruise, though!&#8221;</p>
<p><b>Getting back to normal</b></p>
<p>Robin&#8217;s goal was simple: to get off that baby weight and get back to feeling normal. &#8220;I gained about 30 pounds after the birth of my third child,&#8221; Robin says, &#8220;and found myself just kind of grazing all day with the kids. I couldn&#8217;t find a weight loss program that really worked for me. I needed a program that made it simple, so the Bod•ē app was perfect. I didn&#8217;t have to keep track of a thing — the app did it all for me. In 12 weeks, I achieved my goal and I feel healthy and strong again, mentally and physically.** I&#8217;m ready for the next challenge!&#8221; And it&#8217;s a good thing she is, since she just found out her husband is getting re-stationed. Robin squeezed the Bod•ē Challenge in between two major moves in a 10-month time frame, which is a feat worthy of a medal in itself.</p>
<p><strong>Becoming a finalist</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;When I got the call telling me I was a finalist, it just felt surreal. They flew me to Vegas, and I had a gorgeous room with a gift basket waiting for me. I felt totally pampered. We couldn&#8217;t find a sitter for the kids, so my sister came with me to Vegas and my husband stayed home and watched Convention on Ustream with the kids. I&#8217;ve got a photo of them watching at home and cheering for me.&#8221; In addition to the ultimate makeover retreat Robin won in Vegas (which included a shopping spree with a personal shopper, salon and spa services, and travel), Robin also came home with $1,000 in cash and a $5,000 cruise voucher for an ultimate vacation package. &#8220;When I got home from Vegas, my husband was already researching the best vacation spots in the Caribbean,&#8221; she says, smiling.</p>
<p><b>&#8220;If I can do it, you can do it!&#8221;</b></p>
<p>With her husband on active duty, there were days Robin couldn&#8217;t get to the gym, but she found a way to work exercise in. &#8220;When kids were sick or home from school and I couldn&#8217;t get a babysitter, I&#8217;d do an exercise video at home. Even if you only have 10 minutes, you can do Chris and Heidi&#8217;s nine-minute workout from the <a href="http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/chris-and-heidi-powells-9-minute-workout">Dr. Oz Show</a>.&#8221; Robin had a lot of reasons why she could have given up, but she didn&#8217;t. She stuck with it and has justly earned the title of Chris Powell Bod•ē Challenge Champion. &#8220;I have a challenging lifestyle with my husband in the military and having a young family,&#8221; Robin states matter-of-factly. &#8220;We&#8217;ve moved six times in the past eight years, so change is constant, plus there are deployments. My message to people everywhere is if I can do it, you can do it.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><b>Weight Loss Tips from Grand Prize Winner Robin Phillips</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Once you start, be consistent from the moment you wake up to that Bod•ē Rest at night.</li>
<li>Make healthy eating a family thing. Share healthy snacks and meals with the kids instead of making separate meals.</li>
<li>Take those before photos! It can be intimidating, but it&#8217;s the only way to really see how much progress you&#8217;ve made.</li>
<li>Fit exercise in whenever you can, even if you don&#8217;t have time for a full workout.</li>
<li>Use the Bod•ē app! It makes the program so simple.</li>
<li>Stay active as a family. Find something you enjoy — whether it&#8217;s swimming, hiking or biking — and do it together.</li>
<li>Believe you can do it.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watch now as Eric Thomas, the Hip Hop Preacher, sits down with 22-year-old Vemma Presidential, Anthony Cometa. Anthony was introduced to Vemma by his best friend, Patrick Comer, and has been with Vemma for less than a year. Anthony tells us, &#8220;My next goal in the business is to hit the Royal Ambassador level (a mil a year) by the end of my second year.&#8221;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/WP0leUr-0hw" height="360" width="640" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How Vemma changed him:</strong></p>
<p>Anthony tells us, “This Vemma vehicle has completely changed my perspective on life. Negativity and pessimism are no longer in my vocabulary. It is incredible to see an hour of my work that I put in six months ago pay me residually today. No one ever taught me that wealth is created through building assets! Vemma has changed everything.”</p>
<p><strong>Advice to new people:</strong></p>
<p>“Immerse yourself into educational material. Read books, listen to success audiotapes, etc. When I first got on board, I wasn’t familiar at all with the network marketing industry. My mentor and roommate at the time Patrick Comer would force me to sit down with him in his room and listen to Jim Rohn and Anthony Robbins audiotapes. This greatly increased my belief level, which in turn increased my excitement. Communication is only 8 percent content (what you say), a majority of it being body language along with tone and pitch of voice. When you’re brand new to the business, as long as you truly believe in what is going on and are truly excited, your friends will feel that and will not question the legitimacy of the business!”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/right-trevor-fox-news.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8552" alt="right-trevor-fox-news" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/right-trevor-fox-news.jpg" width="359" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>By the time the Chris Powell 12-Week Bod•ē Challenge ended, Vemma Brand Partner Trevor Fox lost a grand total of 49 pounds and took home the Grand Prize for the Men&#8217;s category.*  &#8221;I was at an amusement park in California when I got the call saying I was a finalist. I jumped out of line and yelled!&#8221; Trevor&#8217;s prize included $1,000 cash, a $5,000 cruise voucher, and a paid trip to Vegas for Vemma Revolution Convention (which included salon services and a shopping spree). &#8220;The trip to Vegas was great — I&#8217;ve never had a hot, close shave before, and I got a pair of $200 jeans during the Nordstrom shopping spree, which is pretty cool for a college student. I was on stage at Convention when I found out I was the Grand Prize winner, and I still can&#8217;t believe it.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Looking ahead</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Football has been the biggest part of my life since I can remember,&#8221; he says. &#8220;Once I got into football, being big finally became an advantage, but I knew embracing being overweight for the sake of sports would only last so long. In January, I finished my tenure with about 90 pounds of excess body weight on my frame. So I had a decision to make: Was I going to continue to be self-conscious about my body, or was I going to make a lifestyle change for the better? I opted for the latter and started the Bod•ē Challenge on January 3.&#8221;</p>
<p><b>From 292 lbs to 243 lbs*</b></p>
<p>&#8220;I was a big guy, so the weight came off pretty fast,&#8221; Trevor says.* &#8220;I joined Vemma in December and put all my efforts into the Challenge. But to win the Men&#8217;s category &#8230; I&#8217;m still amazed! I&#8217;m looking forward to the cruise. Since I&#8217;m in Oregon, I&#8217;m definitely going somewhere tropical, like the Bahamas.&#8221; As a college athlete who played offensive lineman at the University of Oregon for four years, Trevor now has teammates telling him he&#8217;s &#8220;a shell of his former self&#8221; and wanting to know his secret. &#8220;Two college linemen friends are now starting on the program. I tell them that the Bod•ē program teaches you portion sizes and the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vemma-bod-e/id492085189">Bod•ē app</a> makes it so easy. I love the Shakes — being an athlete, I&#8217;ve always had to do a lot of protein, but it&#8217;s never tasted so good. I also use the Burn after workouts.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>From offensive lineman to lean triathlete</strong></p>
<p>In addition to helping him lose weight, the Challenge has helped Trevor get fit as well. &#8220;I&#8217;m not a good runner, but since starting the Bod•ē program, I&#8217;ve really focused on cardio. I completed a 5k in 24 minutes, and now I&#8217;m training for a triathlon. You have to be in pretty good shape to do that, and I never would have done it before I&#8217;d lost all that weight.&#8221; Trevor&#8217;s new goal is to help other people take the Challenge and get healthy. &#8220;It&#8217;s one thing for someone who&#8217;s never been overweight to tell you to lose weight, but it&#8217;s something else when it comes from somebody like me who&#8217;s struggled with weight my whole life. I remember as a kid being teased about being so big, and coming home in tears just wishing that somehow God would change me into a smaller version of myself. The Bod•ē program has helped me tackle my lifelong weight problem, and I totally recommend it.&#8221;*</p>
<p><strong>Weight loss tips from Men&#8217;s Challenge winner, Trevor Fox</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Start your day with a Bod•ē Shake.</li>
<li>Stick to it. Keep a positive attitude.</li>
<li>Believe in yourself.</li>
<li>Enjoy your guilt-free day.</li>
<li>Read Chris Powell&#8217;s book, <i>Choose to Lose.</i></li>
<li><i></i>Watch the daily fitness tips.</li>
<li>Fit in exercise every day.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>**Results not typical, you may not do as well. Two pilot studies conducted by Vemma showed that 55 participants who followed the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan for 12 weeks using Vemma Bod•ē Burn, Bod•ē Rest and Bod•ē Cleanse, lost an average of 14.8 pounds. Not all participants will complete the plan, or accurately follow the directions and guidelines of the plan. Vemma Nutrition Company recommends you follow a healthy approach to weight loss by consulting with your physician or healthcare provider before starting any new exercise, diet plan, nutrition or supplementation program, particularly if you suffer from any medical condition or regularly use prescription or over-the-counter medications. The Vemma Bod•ē products as part of the Vemma Bod•ē Transformation Plan should be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and 10 minutes of daily exercise.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Vemma Star Executive Brand Partner, Charlton Go has always been an ambitious man. The founder of the Military People Revolution group (#MPR), Charlton is on active duty in the U.S. Navy, stationed in San Diego, and trains hard to keep fit. &#8220;Boxing keeps me in good shape,&#8221; he says. &#8220;I plan to train my daughter to be a boxer when she&#8217;s older, just like my father trained me in martial arts. He told me and my brother (a two-time Olympian in Tae Kwon Do) that becoming skilled in martial arts was the way we&#8217;d rise out of poverty.&#8221; In many ways, Charlton&#8217;s father was right. Thanks to his athletic skill, Charlton was offered a scholarship to college in the Philippines, which opened the door to coming to America a few years later. &#8220;I was on track to competing in the Olympics in Tae Kwon Do, but I gave up this dream for something better — to come to America.&#8221; Charlton discovered Vemma by watching a YouTube video Brad Alkazin put out. He found Brad on Facebook, messaged him, and later enrolled under him. &#8220;I knew a lot about the industry and just needed the right company. There is no comparison out there — Vemma is the best!&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/main-sam-zartoshty.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-8509 " style="padding-right: 40px;" alt="main-sam-zartoshty" src="http://news.vemma.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/main-sam-zartoshty.jpg" width="601" height="262" /></a></p>
<p>Last summer, Vemma Presidential Brand Partner 19-year-old Sam Zartoshty got a taste of the 9-to-5 life, and he wasn’t thrilled. “I hated getting up every morning, but I had the best job ever,” he says. “I worked in a kennel, so I got paid to play with dogs all day.”</p>
<p>Sam’s neighbor introduced him to Vemma, and he instantly saw the benefits of the business. “In today’s economy, a formal education isn’t enough to get ahead in the world,” he says. “You need something more. For me, Vemma was a natural fit, because it allows me to increase both my social life and my financial life. I love meeting new people, making new friends, and I’m doing that every day.”</p>
<p>Sam’s goals are simple. A freshman at Sonoma State University, his immediate aim is to have $50,000 in the bank. “I’m almost there, but there’s usually something that comes up, like needing a car, that can get in the way,” he says. He’s still trying to figure out what his major will be, but for now he’s leaning toward business since, as he says, “I seem pretty good at it.” He’s also learning the importance of managing his time, trying to achieve a balance between his studies and his Vemma business. “I totally believe in the importance of formal education,” he says. “But I have an economy teacher who constantly pokes fun at himself, saying he’s never going to retire, because he won’t be able to live on his pension. I don’t want that.”</p>
<p>“I look at my Vemma business as a different kind of education, as another form of school. I’m not only making money, but I’m meeting new people, making new friends, and that’s what I love.” Sam uses technology to keep in touch with his team and to grow his business. “I’m lucky that I have a computer and I can use Skype, since I’ve only started meeting with people here at my school.” Looking back on his success, Sam credits advice he got when he first started. “You have to learn to people sort,” he says. “You can’t get too stuck on people who aren’t interested — you need to look for people who can help you with your business, and if they can’t, then it’s time to move on.” And keep moving, Sam advises. “When you start out with your Builder Pack, jump right into it. Don’t wait until next week. Don’t wait until tomorrow. Start today, because then you’ll be successful today.” Consider, for example, the two members of his team who, thanks to the Double Frenzy Bonus, managed to make over $400 in the first hour they were part of Vemma.</p>
<p>Sam also encourages all of his team to watch the YouTube training videos and learn from them because, as he says, “You don’t have to invent anything. All you have to do is duplicate the success that’s already happening. It’s perfect!”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Watch now as Eric Thomas the Hip Hop Preacher interviews Vemma Star Platinum Brand Partner Alaina Thomas on the latest episode of YPR Radio.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dmTcF82vbU4?rel frameborder=" height="393" width="100%" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>
<p>Twenty-two year old Alaina Thomas was introduced to Vemma by her softball coach Wendy Hauser and has been with Vemma for just 8 months. Alaina tells us, &#8220;I used to think that in order to make money you had to &#8216;get a job&#8217;. Through this, I realized getting a job is the most difficult way to make money. This has changed how I think and therefore who I am and how I talk to people. I have always been a very competitive athlete but never the MVP. Any award I got was &#8216;Most Inspirational Player&#8217;. I feel like this is a way to really focus that passion in inspiring others to be their best. This is not like the corporate world where you claw your way to the top; instead it&#8217;s more like a team sport where for anyone to succeed, your entire team must be at their best. In Vemma we constantly look to help and support one another. This has also changed how I view goal setting and achievement possibilities. I don&#8217;t set goals for what I think I can achieve, but for what I actually want — then I can make a plan to achieve that.&#8221; Alaina is joined on this episode by Vemma Diamond Brand Partners Jadell Lee and Portia Kane.</p>
<p>*Results not typical, your results may vary. The success or failure of each individual is dependent on their own efforts. The Company has generally expected results which can be obtained by visiting <a href="http://www.vemma.com" target="_blank">www.vemma.com.</a></p>

<p>Vemma maintains its status as the industry leader in mobile technology by debuting Vemma 3.0 at the Vemma Revolution Convention held last weekend in Las Vegas. Vemma Brand Partners can download the new, updated app now in the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vemma/id504376377?mt=8">iTunes App Store</a>. The updated Android version will be available on Google Play in May.</p>
<p>With Vemma 3.0, Brand Partners can manage their thriving business right from their smartphone with features that allow them to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Enroll prospects on the spot</li>
<li>Send text message invites with short video clips to prospects</li>
<li>Get instant updates on which prospects have watched videos, requested samples, enrolled or placed an order</li>
<li>Track weekly and monthly business stats</li>
<li>Check rank progress and goals</li>
<li>View a countdown to the cycle and/or rank advancement period</li>
<li>Visually browse and search their network</li>
<li>Track incentive program qualifications</li>
<li>Engage new enrollees, rank advancers and cancellations</li>
<li>Keep track of social shares, even when their post is shared by someone else</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The award-winning Vemma business app currently has over 67,000 users, with 500 new downloads each day, and has been used to send over 328,000 text messages, resulting in over 142,000 video views and 30,000 mobile sign-ups.</p>
<p>Every day, tens of thousands of Brand Partners use their smartphones to monitor their business, check their stats and invite new people. Vemma 3.0 offers features to Brand Partners that have never been offered before in the direct-selling space, including the social sharing feature that allows Brand Partners to post or tweet a special message with a free sample offer.</p>
<p>Since a fulfillment center handles everything, the social share sampling program is turnkey for the Brand Partner. In addition, push notifications keep the Brand Partner informed of the sample’s journey to their prospect, and that name is added to the Brand Partner’s Hotlist for follow-up. If the post or tweet is shared, the Brand Partner’s ID info remains attached, potentially giving them new frontiers of prospects.</p>
<p>The app has been refreshed with a completely new user interface, including a slide menu and several new features and abilities that allow Brand Partners to be more productive and reach their goals sooner. Users can now update their profile photo right from their phone, catch up on Vemma news, contact support, as well as view expanded data such as pending volume and free product history. They can even order products right from their smartphone. In addition, the app makes it easy for Brand Partners to create and manage events to help grow their business. Brand Partners can create and record a video invitation and send that invite to their downline and prospects via text. The update also allows Brand Partners to find local events and even get driving directions to their destination.</p>
<p>Download the new updated app now in the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/vemma/id504376377?mt=8">iTunes App Store</a>!<strong></strong></p>

<p>Pushing the hyper-growth of Verve sales is Verve Bold — by far the most successful product launch in the history of Vemma! In less than 60 days since the launch of Verve Bold, we’ve eclipsed both 1,000,000 cans sold and $2 million in sales. The best part of this energizing growth is that we’re very much at the ground-level of this bold opportunity. Amazing things are yet to come!</p>
