My Story
By Mary W. Brown
I had breast cancer in 1991 and it had already
spread into 15 lymph nodes which meant it had spread
to other parts of my body. I had to go through very
strong chemotherapy while I steadily gained weight.
I had another Mastectomy about four years later, and
I had a DVT with pulmonary emboli ( yes,
I mean multiple blood clots to both lungs).
The doctor said I had dodged a bullet that night. I
had Behcet’s disease since I was four years old, and
six years ago I developed neurological problems. I
could not complete a sentence and had trouble with
my memory and my speech. I was falling repeatedly
hitting my head on the ground because I did not
realize I was falling until I hit the ground.

For 18 years I thought I was cancer free, but then
two years ago I found out that my cancer had
returned. It was in three places in my spine, one on
my adrenal gland, one on the left side of my spine
and possibly my lungs. It was in the last stage of
breast cancer, for which there is no cure.
In
October 2011 my neighbors (Hughlene
& Michael Anthony)
introduced me to LivingWater. They gave me the water
for a few months and I started losing weight. Within
four months of drinking the water, I had lost 20
pounds, my speech cleared up. My doctors were
shocked that I could speak clearly and that I was
feeling so great. Even more so, there were
practically no signs of the cancer or my
neurological problems. I also had to have a c-pap
machine but thanks to the air purifier I no longer
have issues with my allergies or breathing.
I thank God for sending these people to me with
these Vollara products. I truly believe they saved
my life. |

Number of
weeks remaining:
If it's Friday, July 27th, you have 5
weeks left to complete this requirement.
If it's Friday, June 22nd, you have
10 weeks left to complete this requirement.
If it's Friday, May 18th, you have 15
weeks left to complete this requirement.
We no
longer have 30 weeks...and once May 18th passes, the deadline
will be less than 15 weeks away. The assignment seems quite simple when we
look ahead and have oh, so many weeks to go. "I only have to
recruit 2 new Active person (225 PV during the
Quick Start period) and I'll win the trip. I even have a
few extra weeks."
Well,
don't use up all your "extra weeks" right here at the beginning.
Promotional ideas
can be found on Training Lesson 3.
Whatever your game plan, you
must follow-up diligently, set appointments, present
the Vollara story, get people on the dotted line, and stay the
course for several exciting months. A whole career can be
launched with this Aruba promotion.
Sincerely and enthusiastically,

Time Travel
-
revisited
 |
...a group of Polish war orphans at a
Catholic orphanage in Lublin, on 9/11/46, where they
are being cared for by the Polish Red Cross. Their
clothing, as well as vitamins and medicines, were
provided by the American Red Cross. (Associated
Press photo). Notice how bright-eyed and healthy
they all seem to be. One year earlier each and every
one would have been skinny and near death.
These
kids passed through the sieve of survival that
confronted all Poles after their country was overrun
by Germany in 1939. Their survival was not due to
choices they made personally; it was simply a matter
of odds. I suppose 99 kids died for each 1 that we
see here. These kids were born between 1938 and 42
and it looks like boys fared better than girls.
From this
point forward, most of these lucky kids probably led
ordinary lives. That's how lives unfold when you
look at whole populations. Perhaps 1 in 10 probably
died young—that would be 6. Eight of 10—about
48—lived
typical lives. And 6 beat the odds of life once
again to become
leaders and big shots.
|
Right now—today,
this year—we are all being
squeezed through
a survival sieve of sweeping proportions (not
as tough as these kids had it, of course).
Some of us lost jobs, some of us lost savings, property
owners lost equity, we all lost momentum and a few years of
our lives, and most of us got boxed into circumstances and
habit patterns that are hard to escape from.
That's why we invite you
to travel forward in time and look at where Vollara is
offering to take you. Because it's never too late to
think about your future life!!!
Hello
Leaders:
No matter
what day you read
(or
reread) this article, that would be a great
time to look 36 months ahead:
Today is
May 5, 2015...
(let's
envision this future time)
Christmas in 2014 fell on
Thursday. We had a good Christmas season.
New Year's Day, 2015, was also on Thursday.
We had a Happy New Year.
About
twelve weeks have passed. Now we are into the "Spring Surge"
season for business. What is our status?
Some
Americans still haven't recovered from the recession
years...but this year's unemployment rate is at its lowest point since
2008. Consumer confidence is strong and getting better.
Gasoline prices stopped going up but they didn't come down,
either. We are happy to have $5-per-gallon gas. We have
adjusted. The real estate market is coming
back in some please, though not everywhere. Inflation, however, is
pushing forward in almost all areas except gasoline!
Vollara
has completed its strongest year ever. We have 500 solid
Executive groups (L6 groups) and an
equal number of "almost" Executives (about to
qualify or weak and about to fall back). Years from
now, when old timers talk about Vollara's historic emergence
from small to gigantic, we will say that 2013, '14, and '15
were Vollara's most amazing and exciting years.
|
In our
time-travel adventure, we must think of the year
we just completed (2014), the even
bigger year we are entering, and the payoff trip we will be
taking in June. See
www.chippynews.com/Hawaii.htm.
If I am
Norm
Long,
I am thinking about my 50th wedding anniversary that Cay and
I will celebrating in Hawaii. How nice that some of our good
friends will be there to share our special event!
If I am
Pam
Schreiber—Dick's pharmacist wife--I am thinking
back to 2011 when I took a hard look at Vollara and embraced
the necessity of being patient while Dick |
 |
|
built our network.
The money payoff wasn't there in 2011 so I decided to
think of financial rewards as future benefits. Hawaii-2015 was an image I
wrapped my mind around and now we are COUNTING
DOWN. Nice rewards are already showing up in the bank
balance but we are committed to helping more downline people
make their breakthroughs.
If I am
James
Clendenin
I am looking back at the losses my groups suffered
as the old company fell on hard times and as the new company
went through 2 years of bad economy and growing pains. We
lost some good people! I will remember those we lost and
celebrate the ones we saved...along with the thousands of new
people we added in 2012-13-14. Here in 2015 I
am celebrating how my group fought their way back from the
pits and found our second wind. I helped Bob with a Hawaii
trip back in 1997 and a Cancun celebration trip in 1998...so
I know the outstanding adventure we are about to have.
If I
am
Pat,
Bea, Patsy, Paul, Duane & Doris,
Rachel & John, Regan, David, Mary Kay, Al & Shirley, Sandy, Jim,
Jim & Alice,
Ed & Carlene, Dixson, Kim, Sonny, Debbie, John, Jo, Walt & Bev,
Dorothy, Karen, Joyce, Maury & Jo
Ann, Tom & Joyce, Cindy,
Justin, Al,
Frank,
Connie & Gregg, or Larry, I remember when I phased myself
more solidly into Million Friends. I remember all the steps we took...the
written goals...the progress reports...the times we got excited
about new web pages...the good people who came and went...
the problems we solved...the meetings, LaundryPure parties
and water clinics we held.
|
And
now,
as 2015 is actually here, I have a real group. In the middle
of each month I get a nice bonus check. My group contains
up-and-coming leaders who believe in Vollara and participate
fully in Million Friends. In three more years we will be
twice as big as we are not. Maybe more.
How
did all of
this happen?
My group didn't come to its present state
through one explosive event. There were dozens--even
hundreds--of events: little trials and errors,
little disappointments, big ones, too, little successes—and
some delicious big successes—that have all
added up to TODAY. I benefited from leverage. My people added
more events, trials, errors, and successes. One by one, the number of
significant people in my group began
to grow.
Regarding my good
people:
|
I urged them to put their names on the Giddens
Leader List
Even before there was much evidence that they
would be workers,
I put them on a Leader List of my own. By the
time I had 20 people on my list
things—some
of whom were still not proven—we
were really popping! As long as I kept BUILDING
MY LIST, the strength never failed to emerge.
I urged my people to participate fully in the Million
Friends program. Many of them never did. Who
knows why? But many did and my group continued
to get stronger. A guy who is a genuine Million
Friends leader himself and then gets half a
dozen people from his group into Million Friends
is on his way to Executive. It flat out works.
I treated each leader and each strong leg as an
individual entity. People have different
interests, different circumstances, different
skills.
I took every opportunity to recognize and thank
my people .
|
I'm
sure
glad I made some commitment decisions back in 2012.
|
I reread the
Spiral Notebook Plan
and decided to put a lot of its good ideas into
my daily Vollara life.
I made a Six Most Wanted List.
I put my
Goals in writing.
I increased my Activity; in particular, I
decided to get some brand new recruits.
|
I listened to more Million Friends calls.
I focused on adding new people to the Million
Friends system.
I didn't accept failure. I never lost my dream.
I
took some risks.
I got Creative. |
Now we have to turn back the clock to TODAY. These
are my thoughts as we close out this first quarter of 2012. Thanks
to all of you who are on the Bob Giddens Leader List. We
need more.
Sincerely and enthusiastically,

January 17, 2012
(Bob's 70th birthday) - The big question is, "Did he stick the
landing?"
The answer is no.
I put my hands down and then stood up. But I think you'll agree this
ain't bad.
This was done
with no practice since a year before. After two flips I stopped. My
back was sore for 5 days.
I saw these
photos on February 7th. I sure am fat! Looks like Charles Barclay
doing a back flip.

Bill Perry
reminded me the other day that almost anything can be turned
into a Vollara lesson. Many of our prospects and distributors
could build $200,000 lifetime incomes but only a few will
actually do it. Why?
 What holds us back?
Why do so many of us
underachieve?
Why do we have such a universal tendency to
underestimate what we are capable of?
I wasn't a
gymnast when I entered the Naval Academy in the summer of 1959.
I had played Little League baseball. I could do basic dives at
the swimming pool. But at 118 pounds I had not played any high
school sports. Little guys can't compete in basketball, football, baseball, or even track and field. We didn't have
golf, gymnastics, diving, tennis. In theory, small guys could
have been competitive in those sports.
Navy had all the
sports and one day I found my way to gymnastics. Although some
of the other kids had done gymnastics in high school, I was a
rank beginner. But it looked like fun...it looked like a way to
earn respect...and they had a system within which I could work
my way up. I made the team in my sophomore year and we won the
Eastern Championship in my junior year. I got a 4th place
individual medal in my senior year.
I'm not a
classically beautiful athlete.
 My arms and legs are short. I'm
short overall. I don't have big, natural muscles except in my
legs. Nor did I start learning my sport as a kid as many
athletes do. So why did I make it...and are there similar
reasons that would allow YOU to build a worthwhile income with
Vollara? |
1. I wanted it.
I wanted to "be something" in athletics. I wanted a seat at one
of the training tables in our mess hall. I wanted to go on
athletic trips. I wanted to impress the girls with my status as
a jock. I can't remember ever wearing the sweater I won, but I
wanted a letter
 sweater.
2. I fell in
love with the work. Each afternoon I raced to the gym for
practice. I was usually the first one there and one of the last
to leave. I tried and tried and tried...worked and worked and
worked.
5. I supported
my teammates and they supported me.
6. I overcame
obstacles. In my junior year I dislocated my left arm. A large
audience had trouble keeping their lunch down as my arm popped
loudly and bent 90% backward. I had been trying a new,
non-standard tumbling trick. I've always been a risk taker! The
tragic part was that the Army-Navy gym meet was only a few weeks
away and I really wanted to compete. Army had beaten us in
gymnastics for 16 straight years and finally we were good enough
to win. I got permission from the team doctor to tumble with one
arm and taught myself to do flips and handsprings with one arm
in a sling. In the meet I took 5th in tumbling (3
competitors from each team ) and earned 1 point.
 It was
enough that I beat one Army guy. The final score was 48.5 to
47.5. My one-armed point really mattered. What can we
learn from this about Vollara? Let's answer with 4 questions.
Answer each one on a 1-10 scale. Your goal is to score 40
points!
|
1. Do you want Vollara
success?
2. Do you love the network building process?
3. Will you persevere?
We have to insert a fourth question:
4, Do you feel enthused about offering this opportunity to
others? I invested 4 years in college gymnastics
but I never had to be a recruiter of gymnasts.
But if you can score "40" on the above quiz, I know you can
build a $200,000 income in Vollara...maybe more...in four years. You
must believe in our products, in our ownership, in our destiny,
and in our Million Friends system.
You must support your
teammates in the Million Friends system and Morning
Nutrition calls. We see evidence of mutual support on every
call.
And, of course, you must overcome all the
obstacles, setbacks, and disappointments that come along. The end result
will be worth it.
Look what I got
out of my gymnastics work. A few years later I performed with a
trampoline team at the World's Fair in New York City. Our team
performed on The Hollywood Palace on national TV. I've stayed
fit--although a little fat--for 50 years. I even impressed my
wife and daughter on my 70th birthday.
Is your future
worth working for? Can you "want," "love," "persevere,"
"believe," "support," and "overcome"?
Please join me this
Thursday on the Million Friends call at 10:00 PM Eastern time.
It will be a very inspirational night. 641-594-7500, code
546009#. If you haven't already planted your flag, this
would be a good week to make your move.
Our momentum is
growing. I want you to be on the winners' platform with me.
Sincerely and enthusiastically,
|
