This week, Operation Smile, with the help from sponsor, XanGo (OpTree Profile), will provide much needed medical help to children in Guadalajara, Mexico. From September 25 to October 3 over 40 medical and non medical volunteer will travel to Mexico to help provide care for hundreds of children born with cleft lips and cleft palates.

With the help of XanGo, volunteers from the US, Canada, Italy and Mexico will change the lives of close to 100 children, who otherwise could not afford the surgeries required to fix their deformities.

Operation Smile works with local volunteers to provide not only surgery, but physical exams, speech therapy and nutritional plans.

XanGo formed a corporate alliance with Operation Smile this past year and has sponsored several other missions including two other trips to Mexico in May and September.

“As a global company committed to supporting the needs of children around the world, XanGo is honored to support Operation Smile Mexico, said Joe Morton, founder and board member for XanGo, LLC, “The work of Operation Smile and its volunteers will change lives and open up new avenues of opportunity that otherwise would not have been possible for the mission’s recipients.”

The company actively encourages its employees and distributors to take part in charitable endeavors such as Operation Smile Missions. XanGo feels that it is an important part of its corporate culture to give back to those who are less fortunate.

Operation Smile is dependent on the generosity of companies such as XanGo to help children and young adults around the world. Over 100 children are helped on each mission with each surgery taking as little as 45 min to change a young persons life forever.

While the summer has been settling down a bit since the Weekenders carnage, there still seem to be some hot topics that just seem to re-shape themselves. USANA started off the summer with a push by its Chairman and then CEO, Dr. Myron Wentz and his holdings Co, Gull Holdings, to the company private. After two and half attempts a “low-ball bids”, Wentz and Co appeared to put their tail between their legs and move on. Not so fast. As we reported this week, USANA’s stock (USNA) had a truly amazing run up 38% giving Wentz and Co a $160m gain on paper. The strategy of low-balling an offer only to have an independent counsel say it was way too low was brilliant. It also helped that USANA settled its difference with Barry Minkow who seems to have agreed to just disappear and leave USANA alone - although terms of the “settlement” were never released.

We had the chance to sit down with legendary network marketer, Dwayne Dyer of XanGo. His story of success is truly one of mythical proportions having a network of over 1 million people around the world! He gave us some pretty good insight into how he built his organization and the power of XanGo which has put Mangosteen on the map.

There were also some interesting deals announced this week. Nu Skin announced a research partnership with Toyo Bio-Pharma. On paper, this is a very strong deal for both companies given Nu Skin’s distribution breadth and Toyo’s global dominance of the process of fermentation and culturing all natural ingredients into cosmetics products.

Another deal was announced which partnered EcoQuest with the American Lung Association. The new relationship stems from Eqcoquest’s unveiling of its new air purification system called “Gemini” - which is the company’s first indoor filtration product that has gotten some pretty rave reviews. If you have any issues with allergies in your home, this is one product yous hould seriously consider.

In keeping with this weeks deals, Pureworks merged with Youngevity which while it was a bit of a surprise to us, does seem to make sense. The value to Pureworks is the expansion of their health and wellness products to now include a complete line of hand, body and home sanitizers. The deal definitely makes sense and can only be good news for the distributors of both companies which now have more products to sell with a larger number of people selling them.

Dyer stresses the importance of choosing the right company. “It’s critical to look into the background of the individuals involved; make sure the people know what they’re doing. Take it for a test drive. Kick the tires.” When Gordon Morton—XanGo’s president of sales and marketing and Dwayne’s long-time friend and business associate—called Dyer to ask for his help in launching the product, Dyer told him it wasn’t a good time. Morton persuaded Dwayne to fly to Utah and see for himself. Dwayne saw for himself, and joined the team. He never looked back. “You don’t want to take a risk with a company that won’t make it… I trusted the six founders [of XanGo] would do the right thing. If I was going to put my life blood into it, I had to know I could trust them.”

Dyer has seen XanGo’s product and compensation plan have a positive effect on the health and financial well-being of people all over the world. XanGo’s compensation plan is what Dwayne calls a “perfect partnership with the field”; a 50% split. For every dollar that comes in, the worker gets half—Even Steven.

Another aspect of XanGo that appeals to Dyer is that they participate in various charities at the global, national, and community level. From distinguishing itself as the biggest contributor to Operation Smile, to funding new flooring, wall coverings, and seats at the 75-year-old Scera art house theater in Orem, Utah, XanGo is accomplishing things that Dyer feels he and other distributors can be proud of. While the concept of “giving back” is not new, it show both the people associated with XanGo, and the communities in which we serve, that XanGo is committed to their well being.

Dyer and other top leaders speak about personal beliefs as key ingredients in the success of this business or others like it. While perseverance can help you navigate through many obstacles, it is the true belief in your cause, products, people and dreams that allow you to move mountains. In the 1965 David Joseph Schwartz book ‘The Magic of Thinking Big’, the first chapter is entitled ‘Believe You Can Succeed and You Will’. In this chapter readers learn the fundamental process that Dyer and others truly believe to be the difference.

This difference is much more than what most people try, which is WISHING or HOPING, both of which occur without action. The book notes “There is nothing magical or mystical about the power of belief. Belief works this way; the “I’m-positive, I-can attitude, are what generate the power, skill, and energy needed to do. When you believe ‘I-can-do-it’, the how-to do-it develops.” All top leaders talk directly to this point, believing and then taking action through that belief will allow you to achieve. Dyer emphasizes the W.O.R.K. required in Network Marketing, but all the while he demonstrates what the company has done to make the WORK efficient and effective.

On the XanGo horizon, Dwayne Dyer looks forward to doubling the number of distributors and countries in which their products are currently available —the result would be an impressive 2 million distributors in 44 countries. He’s particularly excited about bringing the value of XanGo to countries where people are really hungry for an opportunity to succeed.
