Climbing aboard Royal Caribbean’s beautiful, international ship Serenade of the Seas, the accomplished distributors set sail from San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a week of revitalisation, transformation, and one-of-a-kind learning.For most, the stunningly blue water and foliage-covered islands of the Caribbean would typically be the attractions of such a getaway, but with Gary and Mary Young onboard, the greatest attractions were on the Serenade of the Seas.“Having Gary and Mary on the cruise with us—and educating us—is absolutely huge,” said Pamela Hunter, a Gold distributor from Illinois. “Also, it’s fun to be on the cruise with distributors from around the world because we have become such great friends.”During the cruise Gary and Mary spent hours teaching eager distributors about life, Young Living’s new products, and unique insights into building a powerful and successful Young Living business. “I am a relatively new member to Young Living, and I really appreciate and enjoy the opportunity that I have had here to personally get to know Gary and Mary and to learn from them,” said German distributor Ulrich Ziegler.

Because the Caribbean offers so much beauty and opportunity to recuperate from daily life, much of the training and activities took the distributors deep into the waters or far into the islands. During an excursion on the beautiful island of Grenada, distributors boarded more than 40 buses and took a delightful tour of the island’s scenic loop, which consisted of a stop at a nutmeg processing facility, where the facility’s employees described the process used to distill nutmeg, clove, and cinnamon oils and spices.In addition to Grenada, the cruise gave distributors the opportunity to shop,

snorkel, and sightsee on and around the breathtaking islands of Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Croix, and St. Thomas. “These trips broaden our perspective as to what is possible,” said Angela Shim, a Silver distributor from Canada. “It’s on these trips and at the convention where we really feel the heart of the company.”To register for upcoming events, including the 2012 International Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah, please visit www.youngliving.com.au

Australians Connie Hellbig and Kathleen Hamill joined hundreds of Young Living distributors for a week of relaxation and learning during Young Living’s Global Leadership Cruise in the Caribbean, March 2–10.

NEWS FROM THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS

Volume 2 Issue 4

Founder’s messageI am often asked one very fundamental question pertaining to Young Living, which, when answered, usually leads to another, more important question. The original question—what distinguishes Young Living from other essential oil companies?—is one I thoroughly enjoy answering because it allows me to share my passion and vision for the company that Mary and I started nearly two decades ago. What separates Young Living from anybody else is my absolute commitment to providing the truest, purest essential oils—often through our own harvesting and distilling—in order to enhance life for those who use these precious gifts. This commitment has led to six farms on three continents. Knowing where these oils are coming from—knowing the soil and the seeds that generate them—and guaranteeing correct harvesting through hands-on participation is something to which no other essential oil company can lay claim. It is why Young Living is unique. And it is not just the oils. Everything I do—every product we release at Young Living—is a personal guarantee that we provide the best natural-health solutions. The next question I am asked is: “Why do you do this? What drives your commitment?” The answer is simple: I have made it my personal quest to do all I can to ensure that people obtain what is rightfully theirs—the realisation of true, intense happiness. For me, this is about much more than just oils or products or downlines or making a lot of money; this is about the ability to live a joyful, happy, influential life. The products and the business are simply the tools that help get us there. I encourage you to work hard to obtain the happiness that is rightfully yours.

Essentially yours,

Remember:• You need a solid foundation on which to build your structure.

Give your people support and do not ignore anyone in your organisation.

• Can you build this business without an active sponsor? Of course!

• Get excited about the product.• If you stay on the path, you will make it.• Sometimes you get discouraged—build one step at a time, take

smaller bites, and stay focused on your goal.• Sometimes you feel stuck and don’t know what to do. Call

your sponsor and ask for help.• If you feel like others are eroding your efforts, be an example

and always consider others.• Can it really be this good? Yes! Have hope. Don’t let others

take it from you.• Don’t try to tell new distributors everything at once—don’t

data dump. You can overwhelm others if you have no plan. Put your plan in place and know what you need to do to help the person want to be part of Young Living.

• Please help your distributors. Work to build a successful business within 200 kilometres of your home until you can afford to support others who live further away.

• Use team power.• What we put out is what we get back. If you look at each

other as friends and brothers and sisters, we won’t have problems between downlines. Make service more important than money.

• We have a responsibility to share what we know and what we have. Don’t hide your light under a bushel.

new people. Goal 3: Enjoy the rewards that come from fulfilling the

first two goals.

Make the effort. Unless you change something in your life, your life won’t change. The opportunity is there; you just have to put yourself forward. Do whatever it takes to make it happen as you believe in what you are doing. Believe in yourself and believe in your vision.

THE Essential Edge Newspage 4 THE Essential Edge News page PB

So began Mary Young’s perceptive presentation on building a powerful and rewarding Young Living business as she took the stage during the 2012 Global Leadership Cruise held March 2–10 in the Caribbean.

“The bottom line is that you can help so many, many people, and helping people is what it is all about,” explained Mary to a crowd of more than 450. “But you can help people and not have any financial benefit and then wonder what you’re going to do to pay the bills. That is not very motivating and it does

not do much for your psyche, for your emotional well-being, or for your health. Being able to have money to pay for the things you need and to help your friends and family is extremely motivating; it’s extremely healing to the soul.”

Giving insightful perspective into the beginnings of her success, Mary said that she relied on two things from the beginning: a burning desire to become successful and to help others and her God-given ability to talk to people.

“From the beginning, my attitude was always one of ‘I don’t know how you

feel, and I don’t know if you have an interest, but I think that what I have will benefit you. I think it’s something that you would like.’ For me, it was all about them.”

Drawing on the focus of treating people with respect and helping them, Mary was able to build a very powerful organisation by teaching her leaders to “look down and help those in their organisation, because the only way to have time freedom—coupled with financial freedom—is to help those in your organisation help those in their organisation.”

Mary teaches these three easy, but critical, principles for success:

1. Focus on the person, not on yourself or on how much money you can make.

2. Begin by talking to family and friends.3. Follow up.

“When people know you care about them, they will listen,” Mary taught. “You never know who you’re going to touch; you never know who’s going to be your builder. I will tell you this: It always comes back if you think of other individuals and how you can help them be successful. If you help others get what they want, you will get what you want, too.”
