Charlie CurranEniva Distributor

When you look at the performance ofCharlie Curran’s two brothers duringthe wrestling season that’s just wind-ing up, it would be hard to challengeCharlie’s statement about the impor-tant role nutrition and hydration playin creating winning athletes. BothCurran brothers brought home medalsfor Elk Point, South Dakota, a town inthe southeastern corner of the statewith a population around 1,700. InFebruary eighteen-year-old Tim, a sen-ior, became the state champion in the145-pound weight class at the SouthDakota Class B State WrestlingTournament. (In April Tim headed to Cleveland, Ohio, for the SeniorNationals Wrestling Tournament,where the 200 or so college coaches inattendance will recruit for their schoolsand offer scholarships.) Less than amonth after Tim brought home thegold, the youngest Curran, Joe, 15,became the state champion in the 160-

pound weight class at the SouthDakota Cadet Freestyle WrestlingTournament.

Besides genetics, Tim and Joe havesomething else in common: both takeEniva minerals and vitamins and,according to Charlie, drink AthleticEdge™ by the case. Charlie, EnivaDistributor since February 1999, coordi-nates his brothers’ dietary supplementprogram. Year-round Tim and Joe takeBody Essentials™ Plus+ Morning/Evening and VitaSource.™ But during the wrestling season, they ramp uptheir nutritional foundation, adding B-Complex and Vitamin C. The Curransalso drink Sodium Mineral Water to help keep them hydrated andChromium Mineral Water, whichCharlie claims helps his brothers tomaintain their weight, often a strugglefor wrestlers. And of course, they drinkAthletic Edge. . .

“They’ll have an Athletic Edge™ whenthey come home from practice, and on Saturday tournaments they pack acooler full—each drinking three to fivebottles.” According to Charlie, Eniva’sAthletic Edge is much better for athletesthan the popular brands of electrolytedrinks that contain sugar. “The sugarspike causes an athlete’s performanceto plummet when it wears off.”

And wrestlers can’t afford to have theirenergy plummet. Tournaments are theultimate endurance test. Anyone whohas ever watched wrestling knows thata six-minute match is grueling. And at a tournament, wrestlers typicallycompete in three to four matchesthroughout the day. That means a fast recovery is critical. “When you’redrinking just water, it can take hours to hydrate the body,” says Charlie.Dehydration can be a real problem—athletes can become seriously ill oreven die. Tim said, “Some kids at the state tournament were pretty

dehydrated. One of them had to go tothe hospital and get IVs. I drank A LOTof Athletic Edge at the tournament.”Joe says Athletic Edge really helps himin wrestling as well as in football andtrack, the sports with which he and Tim bookend the wrestling season. “Ireally didn’t get tired during any of mymatches. . . In football, I played a wholegame without sitting out once. . . theother kids were always asking for abreak, and I said, ‘Leave me in, Coach,I’m fine.’” Tim has noticed that sincehe’s been drinking Athletic Edge he runsa lot smoother in his sprinting events.“Before I used to get tensed up.”

Parents of five athletic boys, Mike andJudy Curran, Area Managers, are EnivaDistributors in addition to owners of aconstruction company. Mike observedthat at a recent tournament the four Elk Point teammates who were drinkingAthletic Edge were more alert. One of

them, Jacob Limoges, son of DistributorsCraig and Janet, has made “tremendousimprovement during the season,”according to Mike. “Some of the otherparents have asked us about Eniva sup-plements when they’ve seen how wellTim and Joe are performing,” Mike adds,“and although they haven’t purchasedthem yet are saying, ‘We have to get ourkids on them.’”

Under Charlie’s guidance, pinning opponents with the help of Enivadietary supplements has moved beyondthe South Dakota border. Distributors inCharlie’s downline, Dave and MarcyAllibone from Sioux City, Iowa, havebeen fortifying their son, Patrick, withminerals and Athletic Edge. Theyrecently had the thrill of watchingPatrick wrestle his way to runner-up(next in line to the state champion) inIowa’s tournament.

Judy mentions another benefit she’snoticed since the boys began takingEniva supplements. Neither has hadringworm—a fungal infection—that frequently accompanies the sport ofwrestling and can work its way throughan entire team. “When Tim was in junior high, he had ringworm andimpetigo [a bacterial skin disease]. Theysay once you have impetigo, you aremore susceptible to getting it again andagain. But he hasn’t gotten it since.”Mike and Judy credit Eniva minerals,especially silver, for boosting the boys’immune systems and helping them toavoid infections. Both boys say they’vestayed healthy since taking Eniva prod-ucts. “Before I had the minerals, I’d getsick during the winter,” Joe said. “I’dalways miss a couple days of school,and this year I haven’t missed any daysdue to illness.” Tim says his experienceis similar, “If I ever get a sniffle, I just

take some Silver and that clears it upright away.”

All seven in the Curran crew take Enivadietary supplements to maximize their health to keep up with the busylifestyles they lead, and five of theseven are Distributors. Whether on the wrestling mat or in the bleacherswatching a tournament from sunup to sundown, or working long hours at drafting tables on architectural projects as do J.P. and Kevin, the othertwo Curran sons and Distributors,Athletic Edge and Eniva minerals andvitamins provide this family with thatneeded boost.

“For a person who’s a believer in natural medicine, Eniva is like a dream come true.”

— Guy Roberts, Eniva Area Manager

And for Eniva, the Roberts—Guy andBecky—are dream material, too. Thecouple, who enrolled as Distributors inDecember 2001, quickly became AreaManagers. With the Eniva family ofDistributors less than half a year, theyare well on their way to becomingRegional Managers—a position theywould have achieved even sooner hadthey not chosen to deepen rather than widen their business by havingenrollees sign up under Distributors in their downline.

The Roberts’s passions—nutritionalcounseling and direct marketing—contributed to the rapid growth of theirEniva business. As for the first part ofthe equation, nutritional counseling,Guy’s interest began more than 20 yearsago and “led to a complete careerchange for me.” At that time, Guy was acounseling psychologist in practice with a psychiatrist. “I became quite disillusioned with the allergic reactions,irreversible side effects, and overdosesfrom medications that clients withmental and emotional problems were experiencing.”

Research led Guy to the discovery thatsome in his field promoted healthymoods and behaviors with minerals,vitamins, amino acids, and herbs. Hebegan suggesting to clients that theyprovide the body with the tools it neededto heal itself, because “in natural medi-cine, we don’t cure or heal anything—the body heals itself. But, we have to giveour bodies the tools it needs to do so.”

Around the same time, Guy developed askin rash on his chest and stomach. Thecream the dermatologist had prescribedjust wasn’t cutting it, and Guy found

himself trying to perfect surreptitiousways of scratching during his sessionswith clients. Then, in desperation,he went to a health food store owned bya wiser, retired nurse who offered somesuggestions for promoting skin healthwith vitamins and minerals. The rashdisappeared. But within the same year,Guy returned to the health food store tochat about another condition that wasnot remedied with medication. Again,Guy’s body healed itself when he pro-vided the tools.

The conjunction of his own healthexperiences and the positive changeshe saw in his clients’ emotional stabilitywhen taking dietary supplements convinced him that “We’re doing some-thing very powerful. I began readingbooks and attending seminars, and I’ve never looked back.”

Guy has dedicated his life to healthcoaching for two decades, even writingtwo books in the area of nutrition. Sowhen someone this familiar with prod-ucts on the market says Eniva’s line ofnutritional wellness products are“miraculous,” that’s saying something.According to Guy, “I’m a product person—I’m in love with the products.Money alone doesn’t particularly moti-vate me. If you have a heart for helping people this is the company to be in.The money will follow.”

Guy’s history with network marketingalso dates back two decades, so he didnot form his perception of the businessend of their endeavor without knowingthe ropes. By putting into practice time-tested marketing strategies, the Robertsensure their financial security. AlthoughBecky also has a debt counseling busi-ness, Guy says they are both very activein building their Eniva business. “It’ssomething a husband and wife can dotogether. You can build your own dreamand control how far it goes.”

The Roberts relish the portable lifestylethat Eniva allows them. “I look at net-work marketing as one of the last bas-tions of free enterprise in this country:We don’t have bosses, we set our ownhours, and as long as we have a tele-phone, fax machine, and maybe a com-puter, we can go all over the country.” Infact when they talked with us for thisinterview, they were just settling downin Phoenix, where they’re house-sittingfor friends. And unlike so many careers,their livelihood doesn’t require them toreside in a large metro area. So whenthey return from their desert excursion,it's home to Cave Junction, a small townset in the forested mountains of south-ern Oregon that’s “not near anything.”

“I’m a product person—I’m inlove with the products. Moneyalone doesn’t particularly motivateme. If you have a heart for help-ing people this is the company to be in.The money will follow.”

Although it's a wonderful life, says Guy,“One of the first things I want people toknow about network marketing is thatit’s work—I want to emphasize the wordwork in network.” Some people, heexplains, come to direct marketingthinking that they can spend just two orthree hours each week building theirbusiness and make a bundle. “It’s notlike that.” To succeed, folks “need a rea-sonable amount of knowledge, convic-tion, and a certain degree of enthusi-asm, not that they have to be foot-stomping crazy.”

Spotlight on Distributor Success

The Roberts look for that conviction andenthusiasm in those they recruit. “WithEniva, you want everyone to be on theproducts, but not everyone in leadershippositions.” Guy adds that many peoplenot interested in the business aspectget pressured into network marketing.“There’s a saying in network marketing:amateurs convince and professionalssort. I may talk to 10 people aboutEniva, but I want only one or two ofthem to help me build this business. Iwant to sign up all 10 as Distributors sothey can get the products at wholesaleprices. But I want to run with the run-ners and spend my time helping thosepeople who really want to build anEniva business. Some people throw a lotof mud on the wall and see what sticks,but I don’t like that approach.”

Good runners need good coaching,and the Roberts recognize that it’s totheir advantage to balance their timebetween providing support to their cur-rent Distributors with recruiting moreleaders. The support Guy and Becky givepertains to all aspects of Eniva, includ-ing what someone can expect when heor she first begins taking the products.They always ask that a Distributor callthem when the products arrive andbefore beginning to take them so theycan go over the protocol in the Healthand Wellness Guide, which Guy says“could be a nutritional bible—these pro-tocols are very well thought out.”According to Guy, a lot of nutrition com-panies make a big mistake by not tellingpeople they might experience variousdetox reactions when first takingdietary supplements. People may stoptaking the products if they don’t realizethat what they’re experiencing is a nor-mal and desirable part of the cleansingprocess. It’s critical, he asserts, that peo-ple know they have options to relievethe discomfort that can accompany theprocess of detoxifying the body. Somepeople like to steam ahead, “gutting itout, while others prefer to cut theamount they’re taking to half or even aquarter and then gradually build backup, and still others will choose to dis-continue the products for 24–48 hoursand then resume at lower levels.”

“I look at network marketing as oneof the last bastions of free enterprisein this country: We don’t have bosses,we set our own hours, and as long aswe have a telephone, fax machine,and maybe a computer, we can go allover the country.”

Some general business-building strate-gies Guy and Becky offer for newcomersto Eniva are to learn all you can aboutthe products, the compensation plan,and the business-building tools. “It’svery wise,” Guy adds, “to stay in contactwith your upline, especially in thebeginning when you don’t know a lot—it can help shorten the learning curve.”Guy says three-way-builder calls are a great help to new Distributors. In a three-way-builder call, the newDistributor who wants to spread theEniva message to a warm contact bringsin Guy as the expert. “This approachworks well for everyone: the contact,who doesn’t know me from Adam, ismore apt to listen to me because of thetrust that already exists between him or her and the Distributor. And the newDistributor receives training as he orshe listens to how I explain the Enivamessage.”

To get up and running quickly, theRoberts recommend that Distributorstake advantage of the various Enivaconference calls that occur throughoutthe week (see page 16). The importanceof making a prospect list and prioritiz-ing whom to contact first can’t be over-stated. Guy advises new Distributors tothink about which people on that list toview as customers only and which tothink of as both customers and busi-ness builders.

Guy once again reminds Distributors torecognize that building an Eniva busi-ness is work, “but it’s as gratifying alifestyle and a meaningful way of earning an income as anything I’ve ever seen.”

Congratulations to Guy and Becky on allyour accomplishments. We look forward toseeing you reach your dreams!

Eniva Incentives

Those of us who have beenDistributors for any length of timeknow that growing an Eniva businessis a reward in itself. It’s hard to imag-ine what could be more fulfilling thanproviding life-enhancing productsand career opportunities to membersof your family and your community.Add to that strong foundation theframework of gaining more controlover the logistics of life: working thehours that fit you best; operating outof your home; and interacting withpeople who share your passion fornutritional wellness. And yes, thecapper is that Eniva’s industry-leading compensation plan hasallowed many Distributors a level offinancial freedom that many peopleonly dream of.

Not many jobs out there offer theseadvantages. In many industries, asone’s career takes off, one’s personallife plummets. We’re always hearingstories of Distributors whose personallives have gotten bigger as they builda thriving Eniva business. We know of Distributors who, when they wanta change of scene, pack up their families and laptops and set up in themountains or at the seaside for aweek or two. It’s hard to call it workwhen you hear waves crash in thebackground as you conduct Enivabusiness or when you look up fromthe desk to a panorama of snow-covered peaks . . .

But who dreams up the icing on thecake—all the Eniva incentives thatDistributors can earn. This year Enivais providing some really outrageousincentives to encourage you to build

your business, like driving away fromthe Eniva Summer Bash on August 24in the president’s red Porsche 944!There’s also the opportunity to win atrip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the Annual Awards Banquet and 2003Kickoff Rally and then to board shipfor a seven-daycruise in thewesternCaribbean. (Thisgetaway takesplace in February,which, as youknow if you livein the frozenNorthland, is the time to escape!) TheW.O.W.™ Challenge provides severalways to win Corvettes, exotic vaca-tions, and shopping sprees.

And of course, there’s always theongoing incentive dangling just aheadfor Distributors: the Eniva signaturediamond ring and necklace presentedat the Annual Awards Banquet to couples who have become NationalDirectors. Along with the glitter of gold, whenDistributorsreach this level of achievement,they are inaugu-rated into thePresident’s Club,qualifying themto share in thecompany-wideFreedom Bonus.
