Robert Kiyosaki writes in his Business School book:
Most people work for THE SYSTEM, rather than owning THE SYSTEM.
His rich dad taught him this,"All they see is the invention or the product, but they do not see the system. Most people fail to see what really make the RICH rich."
What made the light bulb powerful was not the light bulb, but the system of electrical lines and relay stations that powered the light bulb. What made Thomas Edison rich and famous was that he could see the big picture while other people only saw the light bulb.
Another word for system is 'network'. If you really want to learn how to be rich, you must begin to know and understand the power found in NETWORKS. The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for WORK.
Robert continues, "Without the electrical network, the light bulb would have very little value to people."
John D. Rockefeller became one of the wealthiest men in the world. He did more than just drill for oil. He became one of the richest men in the world because he built a network of gas stations, delivery trucks, ships and pipelines. He became so rich and powerful because of his network that the U.S. government forced him to break up his network, calling it a monopoly.
Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, which eventually became a telephone network called AT&T.
Bill Gates became rich by plugging an operating system into IBM's network.
The Beatles became famous worldwide due to the power of the radio, television and record store networks.
Sport stars earn millions of dollars due to the power of TV a nd radio networks.
The INTERNET, which is the latest in worldwide networks, has made many people millionaires and even a few people billionaires.
Robert Kiyosaki has earned millions of dollars with his writing skills. He has partnered with the TIME WARNER NETWORK.
So when you think of network marketing, PLEASE DO NOT CRINGE.
If you want your life to change, physically, financially.......accept the FACT that networking with people on a global business is a BENEFIT to you and the WORLD!
Make the world a better place by sharing with others what you see as a valuable product. Who knows who is looking for that great product?

What is a beta glucan? Why do I need them in my diet?
This is information from Dr. Paul Clayton's writing. (m)mun contains these beta glucans and it is a very effective natural ingredient.
Immuno-Primers - powerful new activators for the Immune System
‘Give me spots on my apples, but leave me the birds and the bees, please!’ (From Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, 1970).
Joni was more right than she, or we, knew. The spots on our apples – and indeed, the traces of yeast and moulds that used to be on almost all our foods – are now known to be as important for our health as the apples themselves.
These micro organisms contain compounds in their cell walls known as 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans. We now know that these compounds are critically important in priming a part of our immune system known as the innate immune system – but we no longer have many of them in our diet.
To compound the problem, we have over-sanitised our environment, through the wide-spread use of fungicides and bactericidal household sprays. (This is known as the hygiene hypothesis – and it is supported by the fact that children with pets do tend to have stronger immune systems).
Consequently we have left our immune systems less effective at defending us against bacteria and viruses - and we are more likely to develop allergic symptoms.
Immune function is further weakened by Type B malnutrition, a condition now recognized by the UN Standing Committee on Human Nutrition as a major cause of ill health. Type B mal-nutrition is characterized by a typical western diet – with sufficient – even excessive in calories - but often depleted in important vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.
The key to restoring optimum immune function is nutrition, and this involves not only good diet (one rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains), but also a broad spectrum supplement, and a small number of key phyto-nutrients ie nutrients derived from plants.
1-3, 1-6 Beta Glucans – priming the immune system
Of all the natural compounds known to activate the innate immune system, the best documented and most effective are the 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans, generally derived from baker’s yeast .(Kernodle et al ’98, Wakshull et al ’99, Mansell et al ’75, Hahn & Albersheim ’78, Robertsen et al ’94, Song & Hsieh ‘94).
These micro-organisms have always been a threat to animal species, and so the innate immune system long ago developed the ability to recognise 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans and react to them by mounting an immune response. But it went further than that. As yeasts are so universal, the innate immune system actually became acclimatised to them, and dependent on them to function at peak effectiveness.
Then very late in the evolutionary day, modern technology effectively sterilised our food chain and much of our environment. Levels of yeast and other fungi in our foods, on our bodies and in our houses dropped away; and left the innate immune system weaker. This is the so-called ‘Hygiene’ hypothesis referred to above.
Adding 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans back into the diet restores the effectiveness of the innate immune system, with considerable health benefits.
The following sequence explains how 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans prime the immune system to work at a higher level of activity. It is provided by Biothera – a leading company in the research of yeast-derived beta glucans and the manufacturer of a refined and patented source of 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans (WGP 3-6).
Biothera’s WGP 3-6 has been subjected to a significant number of clinical trials and has recently been chosen by the US Government for trials in situations where the public may face radiation hazards, whether accidental or deliberate.
A biological Guided missile - how WGP 3-6 works
figure_11. Once swallowed, whole beta glucans particles pass through the stomach into the small intestine where they are taken up by specialised regions called the Peyer’s Patches.
In the Peyer’s patches, the beta glucan molecules are encountered by circulating macrophages – immune cells whose function is to engulf and digest foreign invaders - whether bacterial, fungal or viral.
Macrophages have receptors which specifically recognise 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans (Czop & Austen ’85), because they occur in the cell walls of many bacteria and fungi. This means that when you ingest beta glucans your innate immune system thinks, not unreasonably, that an enemy has arrived and it rises to the challenge.figure_2
This important first line of defence is now fully activated, and several well-conducted research papers have shown that resistance to infection is greatly enhanced (Onderdonk et al ’92, Kernodle et al ’98, Vetvicka et al ‘02).
2. Specialised cells called M-Cells transport the whole glucan particles to macrophages and these macrophages, in turn, convey the whole glucan particles to various regions of the immune system – such as lymph nodes, bone marrow and the Thymus. Figure 2
3. The macrophages then breakdown the beta glucans 1-3, 1-6 into smaller particles. These active fragments bind or lock onto the surface of neutrophils – which are the most abundant immune cells in the body.
They then lock on to a receptor called CR3 – Complement Receptor 3. Figure 3
figure_3The neutrophil is now activated or ‘primed’ and ready to seek out foreign challengers or pathogens.
4. For a neutrophil to kill a foreign challenger – or pathogen – the CR3 receptor (Complement Receptor 3) must be occupied by both complement - a blood protein – and beta glucan.
The CR3 receptor is occupied naturally by moulds and yeasts . But there are other threats, including bacteria, viruses and cancer, where beta glucan is not present.
Thus, by taking beta glucans, the neutrophils are provided with the missing element they need to trigger the neutrophil’s natural killing mechanism
5. A fully primed neutrophil now migrates to the site of a pathogen (whether virus, cancer or bacterium) through a process called chemotaxis.
The neutrophil then binds to the surface of this pathogen - and recognises it as ‘non-self’ ie foreign. It is now able to destroy that pathogen by releasing toxic chemicals Figure 4 figure_4
6. At the same time, other killer cells retain fragments of the pathogens (ie. foreign invaders) that they have destroyed and ‘present’ them on their surface. These send signals to other members of the immune system family, which become memory cells.
Next time the same virus or pathogen is encountered, these newly programmed memory cells will recognise the virus and produce antibodies. These antibodies stick to the surface of the virus and prevent it from infecting healthy cells.
7. Size matters. The molecular size of the beta glucans also appears to be important. Particles of approximately 2-6 microns in size appear to be most effective.
Research results
Beta glucans are supplements derived and purified from the cell walls of common baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Research has shown that critical cellular components of the human immune system - macrophages, neutrophils and natural killer (NK) cells have specific receptors for the beta glucan molecule.
Studies that support the efficacy of beta glucans (referenced below) originated with laboratory experiments – for example, in one study 90 % of mice exposed to very high levels of E-coli survived when their innate immune systems were primed by 1-3, 1-6 beta-glucans. 0% survived in the control group.
In a further test, 80% survived exposure to high levels of Staphylococcus aureus as opposed to 0% in the control group.
When beta glucans were administered in combination with anti-biotics after exposure to bacteria, the number of bacteria needed to actually create infection was increased up to 2,000 fold
A recent human study demonstrated that a beta glucan supplement significantly increased the number of immune cells that were actively engulfing and destroying foreign particles or intruders. After 10 days of treatment, the supplement had increased the percentage of immune cells able to phagocytose (or “eat”) pathogens from 37.3% to more than 50%.
These results show that taking beta glucans enhances the human immune system to defend the body against a challenge. Additionally, the numbers of several important cytokines (proteins which support immune function) were increased.
Recommended use
Beta glucans can be taken by anyone wanting to maintain or enhance the effectiveness of their immune system. That includes anyone who experiences daily stress (which lowers the immune response), people who are at risk of infectious diseases, or are experiencing slow and incomplete healing. Amateur and professional athletes may also derive benefits from beta glucans, since intensive training can actually lower the immune response.
Additional circumstances for use would include people entering hospital - who are at greater risk of infection – as are long distance air travelers, who are exposed to higher levels of radiation. There are encouraging preliminary studies indicating that 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans can be used synergistically with monoclonal anti-body cancer treatment to increase effectiveness and reduce side effects.
Ideally, beta glucans should be taken as a daily supplement in periods of stress or threat, because the immune system’s effectiveness fluctuates from day to day and the life cycle of neutrophils is short – less than 2/3 days.
Vitamin D – activating natural killer cells
Depletion of Vitamin D in the body has long been known as a key contributory factor to the common problems of osteoporosis and osteopenia (loss of bone density). More recently, D depletion has also been shown to reduce the effectiveness of the innate immune system – the first line of defence against bacterial and viral invaders.
A gene named Vitamin D3-Upregulated Protein 1 (VDUP1) takes a vital part in giving directions to stem cells to expand into natural killer cells, one of the key elements in the innate immune system, and whose function is to seek and destroy virus-infected cells.
If you are low in vitamin D, (and reduced exposure to sun in the northern hemisphere means we tend to be) fewer numbers of natural killer cells are formed and your innate immune defence against viruses becomes impaired. Since the other function of natural killer cells is to kill tumour cells, D-depletion also increases our risk of cancer.
Selenium deficiency in the body weakens resistance to invading viruses
Selenium deficiency allows invading viruses to mutate and remain for a longer period in the host. Researchers at the University of North Carolina compared mice that received a selenium-deficient diet with non-deficient animals, all of which were exposed to the human influenza virus. The deficient mice had more severe cases of the flu and it lasted for a longer period of time than the non-deficient mice.
Selenium deficiency has become a prominent dietary factor contributing to an increased risk of infection. It is prevalent in large parts of the world, including the UK.
Beta sitosterols – an important immune modulator
The nutritional plant extract beta sitosterol is an example of a group of molecules called sterols. They are regarded as the plant kingdom’s equivalent of cholesterol. Beta sitosterol is a natural immuno-modulator as it up-regulates (enhances) certain aspects of immune function while down-regulating others. Hence, a diet rich in sterols can ‘quieten’ unwanted auto-immune responses and improve desired immune response.
Beta sitosterol increases natural killer cell activity, so depletion leaves the cells under-active. This contributes to an overall degradation of the innate immune system. It is present in a large number of plant foods and especially seeds and nuts
Safety
The safety of any supplement – or treatment - has to be the first priority. Since beta sitosterol and beta glucans are natural supplements derived from food, they are safe for people of all ages.
Indeed food derived nutrients are, in principle, normally safer than artificially created pharmaceutical drug molecules, precisely because they are natural and have been consumed for centuries.

Does your juice have a low glycemic INDEX?
Do you drink beer, soda, juices, energy drinks, wine or bottled water? The functional beverage industry is HUGE, isn't it? The functional beverage INDUSTRY is creating $100 billion! This is huge! Don't you know that you can get a piece of the pie? Meaning, you can do more than just sit back and drink! You can get in on ALL THE PROFITS! Hello! Yes, you! Don't just drink! Get involved in making money by being a part of the industry........the money-making engine! Drink and get paid to promote a functional beverage! Get paid to talk! Everyone is drinking something EVERYDAY! People go to Starbucks EVERYDAY! People buy energy drinks and alcoholic energy drinks, mind you! Hello! Don't let the convenience stores get all of YOUR PROFITS! Just say NO!
I want to share another very important tidbit! Diabetes is sweeping the planet. Everyone is coming down with diabetes, like it's the common COLD! Hello!
What do you need to watch, in regards to DIABETES?
Answer is simply put: The foods you eat and what GLYCEMIC INDEX they have!
Here's the facts on MONAVIE:
Glycemic Index Results for MonaVie, MonaVie Active, and MonaVie Pulse
Low Impact, High Return
A new study on MonaVie™ and MonaVie Active™ juice products shows that both have a low Glycemic Index (GI)
rating. MonaVie Pulse™ was shown to have a GI value on the “low end” of the intermediate category. As a measurement
of how foods impact blood sugar levels, the GI rating is an important factor to consider when thinking
about your overall health because glucose levels that are too high or too low may cause health concerns.
The human body uses glucose (sugar) in the blood for energy. Foods that cause your blood sugar level to rise
quickly will often cause a rapid drop in blood sugar. Such a drop can leave you feeling tired and lacking energy
when you need it most. While low glucose levels in the blood cause fatigue, high levels can be an indicator
for diabetes. Thus, it is better to eat foods with a low GI, which provides a gradual release of glucose into your
blood stream to help sustain balanced energy levels and diminish hunger between meals. Low GI diets may also
improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin, aid with weight management, and support cardiovascular health.
“Emerging research is showing that the consumption of low GI foods and beverages can assist with weight loss
as well as support the cardiovascular system,” says Penny Kris-Etherton, Ph.D., R.D., MonaVie Scientific Advisory
Board member. “This research shows MonaVie’s strong commitment to science and dedication to research that
advances knowledge about the health benefits of MonaVie products.”
Glycemic Index Results
The GI study was completed by Glycemic Index Laboratories, the premier facility for testing metabolic responses
to foods and ingredients. When MonaVie juices were compared with glucose, they were found to have a low to
low-intermediate GI. These results indicate that MonaVie juices may help maintain healthy blood glucose levels.

I found an interesting site with people speaking their minds about Monavie. It's interesting the thoughts shared.
Here's the site address:
http://www.sequenceinc.com/fraudfiles/2008/10/29/massive-monavie-distributors-losses-demonstrated-with-the-companys-own-numbers/comment-page-1/#comment-185673
Walter wrote back in Novemeber 2009 this entry: I'd like you to read what he wrote and then I responded to him.
I want to comment in response to Walter who wrote on the 12th of November.
Okay, my story goes like this.
Monavie Active does work. It gives you glucosomine and it is in liquid form, which is effective over time. It's not a magical juice that heals you instantly. Monavie doesn't want anyone to make crazy claims. We have to be careful, when thinking about the FDA. I interject that Big Pharmaceutical companies don't want to lose BILLIONS of dollars, right. It's big business. Only drugs can be patented. Foods are not allowed to be patented. God made them.
I see a lot of bantering on this site about making claims about God and Jesus. Some people who spoken their peace/piece, are mad at sitting in a R3Global event and singing praises to God. Well, let's look at it this way~~What other company out there puts God first and gives God the glory? Must we be so politically correct and allow gays to marry but not have our priorities set straight? The good old USA was established on religious freedoms and Monavie is stepping up to the plate to put God first, family 2nd, their country 3rd and business 4th.
So what if that offends some? Everyone has their own opinion.
But back to Walt's statement. Walt you are correct. You get paid strictly on your activity in this business........or if you were in another MLM, it would pay you accordingly to the POLICIES AND PROCEDURES and if you followed the plan. If you sponsor no people, you make no money. If people on your team participate and play as a team, then everyone on the team that participates wins. It just like 2 baseball team! If 2 teams meet, and play ball and all the team members participate, there's winners and losers. The baseball players make millions of dollars for striking out. So do MLM business people!
So, if you are trying to make a decision about being involved in MONAVIE, please get the facts. Monavie was #1 in food in beverage, #18 overall and #3 in revenue generated in 2008. It hit the INC. magazine in September of 2009. So read the facts. It generated $1 BILLION in revenue from January 2005 to April 2008. It is the FASTEST growing company in America. Hands down! Don't knock this opportunity!
You get what you put into it! More effort and then more results! Thank you for admitting that you didn't make much money, because of your own efforts. One more point, team commissions are paid to you by the efforts of other team members. So, do you get paid like that in a JOB? No, you never get paid, when someone in your office puts out a lot of effort or is lazy. This is an opportunity full of potential. Now, go do what it takes to succeed. Put out more effort. I need to!
Remember, if you have negative results, you are more likely to say negative. If you have positive results, you'll speak positively. Working in this industry has a lot to do with personal development. If you are growing, you can do this business. Plain and simple. If you're not willing to grow and change and become, like God wants us to, you will have more challenges.
Watch the Secret. It has the keys to the law of attraction. Think positively. Believe that you can achieve. Dream. Step out of your comfort zone. Stretch yourself. Don't live life as a Victim. Like it as a Victor.
God bless!

I have been “in” Monavie since June 2005…6 months after it started…and I am not making any money in the business. Why? Because “I” have not put in the amount of time and work that is required. Some people think that network marketing is some genie that if you pay your startup fee, in this case $39.00, you will have a downline built for you and you can just sit back and let the money roll in. It’s not that way at all. You are rewarded for your efforts. If you make little to no effort…there is no reward. That’s the way life is, both in and outside of network marketing. Monavie is no different. My lack of success in it is only due to MY not putting the time necessary into it and not following the advise of the leadership. I get tired of hearing people blame everything and everyone but themselves. Time to look in the mirror. As for the product, Monavie is wonderful. I can only tell you what has happened to me since drinking it. I am off insulin, blood pressure medication, and have lost 85 pounds without doing anything different except drinking it. Mind you, I am not saying that it is a medicine, that it cured me, or that you will get the same results. I am only telling you why I personally will not stop drinking it. As for the business opportunity…you get out of it what you put into it. If 91% of the people who become involved with Monavie are not making commissions, it’s because they are either in to get the wholesale pricing or they are not working the business. It’s that simple. Stop blaming the company. Success comes to the person who truly puts forth the effort.
I want to comment in response to Walter who wrote on the 12th of November.
Okay, my story goes like this.
Monavie Active does work. It gives you glucosomine and it is in liquid form, which is effective over time. It's not a magical juice that heals you instantly. Monavie doesn't want anyone to make crazy claims. We have to be careful, when thinking about the FDA. I interject that Big Pharmaceutical companies don't want to lose BILLIONS of dollars, right. It's big business. Only drugs can be patented. Foods are not allowed to be patented. God made them.
I see a lot of bantering on this site about making claims about God and Jesus. Some people who spoken their peace/piece, are mad at sitting in a R3Global event and singing praises to God. Well, let's look at it this way~~What other company out there puts God first and gives God the glory? Must we be so politically correct and allow gays to marry but not have our priorities set straight? The good old USA was established on religious freedoms and Monavie is stepping up to the plate to put God first, family 2nd, their country 3rd and business 4th.
So what if that offends some? Everyone has their own opinion.
But back to Walt's statement. Walt you are correct. You get paid strictly on your activity in this business........or if you were in another MLM, it would pay you accordingly to the POLICIES AND PROCEDURES and if you followed the plan. If you sponsor no people, you make no money. If people on your team participate and play as a team, then everyone on the team that participates wins. It just like 2 baseball team! If 2 teams meet, and play ball and all the team members participate, there's winners and losers. The baseball players make millions of dollars for striking out. So do MLM business people!
So, if you are trying to make a decision about being involved in MONAVIE, please get the facts. Monavie was #1 in food in beverage, #18 overall and #3 in revenue generated in 2008. It hit the INC. magazine in September of 2009. So read the facts. It generated $1 BILLION in revenue from January 2005 to April 2008. It is the FASTEST growing company in America. Hands down! Don't knock this opportunity!
You get what you put into it! More effort and then more results! Thank you for admitting that you didn't make much money, because of your own efforts. One more point, team commissions are paid to you by the efforts of other team members. So, do you get paid like that in a JOB? No, you never get paid, when someone in your office puts out a lot of effort or is lazy. This is an opportunity full of potential. Now, go do what it takes to succeed. Put out more effort. I need to!
Remember, if you have negative results, you are more likely to say negative. If you have positive results, you'll speak positively. Working in this industry has a lot to do with personal development. If you are growing, you can do this business. Plain and simple. If you're not willing to grow and change and become, like God wants us to, you will have more challenges.
Watch the Secret. It has the keys to the law of attraction. Think positively. Believe that you can achieve. Dream. Step out of your comfort zone. Stretch yourself. Don't live life as a Victim. Like it as a Victor.
God bless!

Do you have loved ones who are now receiving chemotherapy?
We have have several friends and family who have entered the world of cancer and chemotherapy in the past 10 years.
We have one friend, Dan, who has had a triple bi-pass surgery, then discovered, due to a loss of blood, that he had colon cancer. Then before he was able to be released to go home, he found out he was diabetic as well.
Wow! That's quite a bit of illness and disease to pile up on one person. Well, we can attribute quite a lot of this to the American way. Fast food, sugary drinks and snacks, pasteurized milk products, lack of sleep, shift work, stress and we could go on and on.
We have another friend, who went from being healthy and he was having regular check-ups for his lungs due to exposure to asbestos, to having cancer spread throughout his bones. He lived longer than doctors expected. But he is no longer living. Could he still be alive? Yes.
Many a cancer-survivor there are.
Who?

So, check out her story and her books. Read up! Knowledge is power!
Here's an important video:
Just listen to the pros. I know very little, but these fellows are the ones you want to listen to. I am learning, so that if I ever am told that I have cancer, I will know what I am going to tell my doctor. Well, I go to a naturpath, but IF I went to a medical doctor.
In 2005, my sister insisted I read a book. This book has changed my views and my habits. My choice of foods, water, exercise, activities and whether I microwave my food or not has been altered since I read his main book. So please, check out his site. He has sold 20 million copies.

One other thing, I just discovered this past week is a product that I learned, in 2005 about. We are all exposed to wireless technology of all sorts and we are bombarded with it, whether we like it or not. It is the unseen cause of our decline in health. There's a company based out of Singapore.

Auto-immune Diseases
Hey, recently I received some information from the Autoimmune Association. They are wanting a donation to further the cure for autoimmune diseases. Pretty typical!
They are based out of East Detroit, Michigan.
I have hypothyroidisim. My mother had it. So I'm not surprised I have it. Well, I've taken prescription thyroid replacement since 2001. That's not the only answer, even though my medical doctor seems to think that's the only thing she can give me.
Since then, I've seen a naturpath and learned I need a whole lot more than just thyroid replacement pills.
Here's some statistics on autoimmune diseases.
23.5 million Americans suffer from autoimmune diseases and the prevalence is rising.
Cancer affects up to 9 million people.
Heart disease affects 22 million people.
Wow! Unbelievable! Why are so many Americans sick. Did you realize this? Do you see the impact of the sickness industry. Do you believe our healthcare system is seeking to resolve the problems in Americans? EVERYONE is sick in America!!!!!!!!
Autoimmune diseases is one of the top 10 leading causes of death in CHILDREN AND WOMEN under 65 and represents some $100 billion in annual direct health care costs. WOW!
There are 80 know autoimmune disease and an additional 40 diseases that are suspected to be autoimmune-related.
These diseases affect nearly every organ of our body. The immune system mistakenly recognizes the body's own proteins as foreign invaders and begins producing antibodies that attack healthy cells and tissues, causing a variety of diseases.
Visit www.aarda.org for more detailed information and a comlete disease list.

Fool-proof
What do the recession, the economy, the government, our politicians and the media all have in common? You can answer that for yourself. My answer is they have created a belief that you need to be REALLY SKEPTICAL in this life. Even churches and religion in general shake our faith in GOD. They make us doubt.
Feed your faith.
Starve your fear.
God is love.
There is no fear in love or in GOD.
Being politically correct is not a concern of DALLIN LARSEN, CEO of Monavie. He trusts in God and strives to put God first, his family 2nd, his country 3rd and Monavie 4th. We start each regional meeting out with a prayer and a pledge of allegiance to the flag, and we sing the anthems of those attending, whether it is to the American flag or the Canadian flag, or where ever Monavie is doing business. They are presently in 15 countries.
Skepticism is everywhere in the mind of humans. Doubt and fear and doom and gloom casts long shadows in the minds and hearts of men and women. People rely on empty technology, instead of getting out and actually socializing. Have you noticed? Even this blog is impersonal.
It's generic. It's for those who stumble upon it. Twitter, tweet, face, space and im. But we can reach more people, maybe.
Well, I want to dispel some doubts about what I'm involved in.
Since my involvement started in June 2008, I have researched a lot on the Internet. Health, acai, multi-level marketing, business opportunities, social networking etc. Many companies abound in all countries. The functional beverage category is thriving and yes, there are some that came before Monavie. Yes, there are other beverages that contain some level of acai. You can get it at most retail locations. The question is: Do you want to have an opportunity in your own home, to benefit your own family and build a legacy? BOTTOM LINE.
"Profits are better than wages." Who's quote is that? He's not living anymore. He was a charming, gifted speaker and taught 10,000's of people to open their minds to possibilities. Jim Rohn, yes!
Plant some seed.
Well, Monavie is rock solid. Track record is excellent. "If you're going to be blessed, go out and be a blessing!"
Some proof:
