2013 Nikken global incentive
contest winners
Julie Tara,
Royal Diamond | USA
Its been my honor to work with Nikken
for 19 years so far, and my goal is to be a
Royal Ambassador!
When I found Nikken, I was looking for a powerful
home-based business model to support my
family nancially, create a uid lifestyle and afford
time and money freedom. Helping inspire others
especially women to do the same, through spreading
the word of natural health, is an absolute joy. Im extremely
passionate about actualizing our human potential, so with the
emphasis on Humans
Being More

, all of
the companys values
t me like a glove.
I am so grateful for
the opportunity to
inspire and empower
our world through
this amazing vehicle.
The 5 Pillars of
Health

philosophy
is a wonderful
template for us all
to follow. Ive
discovered that happiness comes with continually pursuing
my dreams in all ve areas. I spent years focusing on Body,
Mind and Family. When I began to really focus on the
Society pillar by building a large Nikken business, the
Finances pillar quickly began to heal. Now I live a
highly creative life, having the time to pursue other
dreams such as writing, playing music, and
enjoying precious time with my beautiful
children and grandchildren.
I love challenging myself in different
ways. Even when I dont achieve
the goal, I always learn a lot
and end up helping more
people than I
otherwise would
have. I also aim to
be a positive example
for my team. In the
pursuit of this contest,
I most looked forward
to the feeling of joy in
helping many new people
discover Nikken, and the
fulllment in accomplishing
what I set out to do.
My strategy is simple. I make the
decision to run for the goal, and I afrm in my
heart and mind that I will succeed, even though I have no idea
how it will happen! Then I ask to be guided to all the people
I can bless with the gift of Nikken. I also focus on staying
healthy, eating a macrobiotic-based diet and exercising daily.
Learning how to tame my disappointments quickly has been a
crucial lesson, as I tend to take rejection very personally. Being
mindful to maintain a state of gratitude, forgiveness and
positivity helps a lot too.
I loved the days spent with everyone at Nikken headquarters
in March. My favorite part was meeting all the wonderful
Nikken Consultants from around the world, and sharing
each day with them. Hearing their stories and witnessing
them being honored for their achievements was really
moving. Were creating a happy, healthy, peaceful world
in unity, one person at a time. What a privilege!
My simple advice is to search your heart deeply
through Humans Being More training at least
once a year. Understand what makes you tick,
your deepest held values, and your denition
of success. Our life purpose and mission
statement is the most important
thing. That is what really drives us
to pursue our hearts dream
and dare to be great.
Namaste.
Were creating
a happy, healthy,
peaceful world in
unity, one person
at a time. What a
privilege!

www.nikken.com
We have been with Nikken for 10 years, and we
have made PiMag

water the central focus of


our business. From there, it is easy to introduce
other key wellness home products. Aim for the
big-ticket products in sleep and water; if you
focus on insoles, you will only sell insoles! With
Nikken, we have products that people desperately
need and often, many dont know they need
them. Hence the power of intellectual distribution
educate customers about these products as a
Consultant, then they do your work for you! How
many times do you go to the cinema and see a
great lm, and rush to tell the whole world? The
only difference here is that Nikken pays you for
successful referrals. The cinema doesnt!
The 5 Pillars of Health

philosophy has
helped us to discover our why, which is to build
a business that ts around our family life and
existing interests. Our goal is
to share it with many others.
It was our love of travel and
meeting like-minded winners,
cross-fertilizing experiences
and successes, that motivated
us to win this contest. We were
also looking forward to being
spoiled, and that we were
the welcome team did a great job! While visiting
the States, we took the opportunity to meet up
with our son in New York as well.
The highlight of the event was the day spent in
Irvine, receiving our recognition pins and listening
to top leaders like Julie Tara who inspire
others to achieve. We are now gearing up for the
global incentive event in Orlando next March!
Our advice to others is to make a decision, stay
focused, talk to as many people as possible and
always follow up. Follow-up is key to this business,
and extremely rewarding. Nikken has such great
offers from time to time, which gives us a good
opening to telephone or email existing or
potential new customers. My aim in 2014 is to
do much more of this. Build up a contacts/
customer database and add to it constantly. Do
not hesitate to ask existing retail customers if
they wish to follow the Consultant route too.
Our advice to others is to make a decision, stay
focused, talk to as many people as possible and
always follow up. Follow-up is key to this business,
and extremely rewarding.

If you want to earn
money, protect your
health, help people
and make your
dreams come true,
Nikken is the right
business opportunity.
People everywhere
need our products
and our business
opportunity, and its
important to act with
a sense of urgency.
Aynur Basmaz,
Platinum | Turkey
The Nikken opportunity attracted me because I
realized how benecial the products are. The residual
income possible with the business model impressed
me very much. I joined Nikken when the Turkey market
launched in 2006, and Im now in my seventh year with
Nikken!
When the contest was announced in 2013, I was
motivated by the idea of enjoying a beautiful holiday in
the U.S. I wanted to succeed and be an example to my
team. Most of all, I wanted to be recognized among the
Elite Eight and reap all the rewards, including dinner
with CEO Kurt Fulle. The opportunity to network with
other successful Consultants from around the world
and to be able to bring back that experience and
excitement to share with my team back home were
also big motivators.
As soon as the contest rules were announced, I
devised a 12-month plan to complete the requirements.
It was challenging for my new Consultants achieve 100
PV each month consistently, but I didnt give up. I set a
goal and dreamed every day about winning, and I made it!
After this experience, I want to become a Royal
Diamond as soon as possible. I want to expand my
business on an international scale. I also want to help
more people benet from the wellness technologies.
My most valuable advice to people in my group and
for those who want to follow my example is this: if you
want to earn money, protect your health, help people
and make your dreams come true, Nikken is the right
business opportunity. People everywhere need our
products and our business opportunity, and its
important to act with a sense of urgency.

In Nikken, you
achieve your
goals by helping
others achieve
theirs so
thats what
I did!
Maria Chiba Yoshimoto,
Platinum | Peru
Before
Nikken, I
didnt
understand
the importance
of balance.
Some friends
thought I had
everything a
person could
want in life but I
didnt feel happy or
fullled, and couldnt
explain why. The 5
Pillars of Health


philosophy made me
realize what was missing.
Nikken products are really
awesome. The whole family
has beneted from using the
technologies in our home.
Weve reduced stress, and we
argue less than before. That is
great!
The Nikken opportunity has given
me the chance to be happy, to dream
again, and to make my dreams come
true. And I can share the same
opportunity with others. The joy of
inspiring people to live better is priceless.
In early 2013, I was a Silver Consultant and
winning the global contest seemed out of
reach. But I realized that this was my chance
to meet, talk to and learn from the most
successful Nikken Consultants from all over the
world. I just couldnt miss out on this once-in-a-
lifetime opportunity.
Ive learned that people do things for their own
reasons. In setting out to meet the contest requirements,
I tried to be a good listener, understand what others
are looking for in life, and be more sensitive to their
feelings.
In Nikken,
you achieve
your goals
by helping
others achieve
theirs so
thats what I did!
For my rst time
visiting Nikken
headquarters, the
global contest winners
received the red carpet
treatment. I valued the
chance to meet and
learn from such
wonderful and successful
people from all around the
world. It was also great to
realize that the opportunity
that Nikken affords us is even
bigger than I ever imagined.
I noticed that Kurt Fulle was
going around making sure
everyone was enjoying themselves
and being treated well. When I asked
him about it, his answer was we try
to honor the founders philosophy: to
serve others. I didnt expect that, but
I was gratefully surprised. It made me
realize we are in the right company a
company that cares about people. All our
hard work was worth it because it was a
priceless experience!
I dont think of myself as an example to
follow; Im very new in this business and still
have a lot to learn. As far as I can stay humble
I will continue learning. Im very happy to have
joined Nikken, and that I didnt give up every time
I had a difcult day. Ive learned so much from Luis
Kasuga and other leaders, and putting their wisdom
into practice has worked for me.

Because of Nikken I have been
able to show my family that
everything in life is possible. This
mindset has allowed me to set an

demonstrate for them that with
purpose and effort, you can achieve
your goals. I get to spend quality
time with my family and enjoy them
much more than I did before.
My nances have improved as
well. My Nikken income has helped
pay for my sons university tuition
and has also allowed me to invest
in my retirement.
I knew I wanted to win the global
contest, and I was excited to learn
that leaders from all over the world
would meet at the event. I was
eager to learn from them and also
to proudly represent my country.
My strategy was to analyze the
contest requirements and fulll
them one by one.
The entire trip was an
unforgettable experience, and I
felt so valued and recognized for
my efforts. I want to extend special
thanks to Kurt Fulle and his wife
for all their hospitality. I also thank
Luis Kasuga, Gustavo Gomez, and
Ecuadorean Executive Director
Alejandro Garcia for their continued
support and guidance.

and dont let anyone tell you that
your dreams cant come true.

eve been with Nikken for four
exciting years. The companys
stability, the prot margins and
the residual income potential
really set it apart. The opportunity to transform
our difcult nancial situation and develop
into leaders is what attracted us to embark
on this wonderful journey with Nikken.
The Nikken philosophy has had a profound
impact on our life. The rst pillar where we
achieved balance was the Healthy Mind,
discovering the possibility to overcome our
own paradigms and know that we can do it.
Success comes when your dreams are bigger
than your fears or preconceived notions. Our
nances improved considerably, and we are
able to provide a better lifestyle for our family
and share with others all the opportunities
weve experienced with Nikken.
When the contest was announced, we were
motivated by the chance to be an example
to our team and show them its possible. We
have good and bad moments, problems and
challenges just like everyone else, but we
knew we could do it. People will follow you
because of what you do, not because of what
you say.
Our strategy was to grow our personal
group. We had a clear understanding of the
requirements and worked to motivate each
person in our group to do their part, by
creating productive habits and being
consistent and disciplined.
At Nikken headquarters we had the chance
to see the Millionaires Club wall of fame and
we thought, if they can do it, why not us? In
that moment we vowed that we would join
that gallery, with our group. We were also
struck by the experience of gathering with
people from so many different countries,
with different cultures and speaking different
languages, yet sharing so much in common
we all share wellness with others.
If you want it, you can achieve it. The
impossible becomes possible when we decide
to take action to reach our goals. On the way
you will face many challenges, but stay strong
and keep focused on your goals and dreams,
because its always, always worth it.

The most memorable part of
my visit to Nikken headquarters
was experiencing so much in
common with Consultants
from other countries, even
though we didnt speak
the same language.
his May marks my seventh year with Nikken.
I dedicated myself to developing my Nikken
business about four years ago. Thanks to the
5 Pillars of Health

, Im enjoying the benets


of balance in mind, body, family, society and nances. I feel
more condent and positive, and nd that my results are
more positive too. This has facilitated my relationships with
people and my business development.
My whole family feels healthier than we did seven years ago,
and I can see that the people I have shared Nikken with are happy
because their wellbeing has improved. Nikken has brought my
family closer together, and my children are involved in my
activities. Its wonderful to gain recognition from them when they see
their mothers achievements, and I value their support and feedback.
We have a common goal, and with Gods hand Im sure we will reach it.
I can now make nancial decisions with condence. Creating balance in
our personal pillars benets society as well, and I see this truth reected in
families who have achieved better health and improved nances with Nikken.
When the global contest was launched, I promised myself I would be in the
elite group. During the course of the year, my contest ranking wavered between
7th, and 10th globally, but by January, I was excited to see Id made it into the
Elite Eight. What a wonderful surprise! Developing my Nikken business as my main
source of income enabled me to accomplish this.
The most memorable part of my visit to Nikken headquarters was experiencing so
much in common with Consultants from other countries, even though we didnt speak
the same language. Talking about Nikken with the help of a translator removed all
barriers, as we shared our desires, passion, energy and forward momentum. The attention
of Nikken executives and Kurt Fulle was wonderful, and no detail was overlooked, from the
limo transportation to the food. Thanks Nikken!
This achievement proves that dreams and goals are attainable if we are consistent in thought,
word and deed. My advice to those who want to develop their Nikken business is to nd the
passion, be proactive, and dont get discouraged. Use rejections to gain momentum, stay focused
and be persistent.

came to Nikken to buy a water lter.
I liked the product and thought it would
be nice to have an additional source of
revenue, knowing that my future
retirement benets would only be enough to
cover utility payments.
After learning about the 5 Pillars of Health

,
my life has been redened and renewed. With
Nikken I found everything I was looking for
the joy of communicating with congenial souls,
the opportunity to travel, and most importantly,
the knowledge of how to build my own business.
I had never even dreamed of visiting America,
and at rst I didnt rush to qualify in the contest.
It just happened as a natural outcome of my
business activities.
The highlight of my visit to Nikken headquarters
was the informative presentations by Dr. Narain
Naidu and Dave Balzer. I was especially inspired
by Julie Tara. I just enjoy Nikken people and am
very happy that I had the opportunity to become
acquainted with them.
Having successfully qualied in this contest, I
realize that business building is not as difcult
as it seems. One must simply desire and take
action to reach the goals one has established,
utilizing every day, every hour, and every
minute. Now I have a new goal to qualify for
the Nikken 40th Anniversary Celebration! My
strategy is to advance to Royal Diamond by the
end of 2015 and to achieve the income level that
comes with this status. With this goal in mind,
I plan my year, months and weeks in advance.
Any time I face challenges in meeting my goal,
I turn to my upline sponsors Saidat Magnieva,
Marina Matyukhina and Anna Kagan. They
always provide help and support.
My best advice is to make short-term and
long-term action plans, to build relationships
with everyone, to understand the qualication
requirements thoroughly to fulll them, and to
take action!

Sandra & Al Thornton | Silver
This is our rst Nikken incentive, and we
are having so much fun! Our upline Barbara
[Satterwhite] encouraged us to get started,
maintaining that its a no brainer. We
began with seminars in our home and then
in the ofce of a Consultant we sponsored
in January, meeting in groups to reach
more people whenever possible. We also
shared with individuals at every
opportunity even in the grocery store,
and after a class reunion-planning
luncheon. Our sponsor Lisa supported our
efforts by coming to lead Wellness Previews
as well as bringing her laptop to enroll new
Consultants and customers in Autoship.
Upon achieving the goal of two new
Consultants sponsored in January, we
decided to aim for the goal of blessing a
minimum of two each month.
Our success technique begins with
praying and thanking God for attracting us
to the right people. To grow, we are seeking
folks who understand that good health is
not a coincidence, and are willing to devote
their time, energy and nances toward
attaining it. Sharing our personal stories
has been critical. By experiencing the
benets of Nikken products, weve gained a
level of condence that encourages others
to listen and enroll. We carry and wear our
products consistently so we are prepared
whenever an opportunity arises to share.
We have fun!
People may be hesitant about
committing to Autoship, so we simply
highlight the value of the items they have
identied as benecial and indicate that
they can change or cancel their order. We
listen, remain focused and try to reduce
their anxiety. When an order totals less than
the 100PV minimum, we may suggest ad-
ditional items they have expressed interest
in. We explain the $200 in Nikken Reward
Dollars they have to gain at the end of six
months.
With the Nikken Reward Dollars weve
earned, we purchased Kenko jewelry. We
applied the last $600 toward a Naturest


Demo Kit, so we saved 70% off the
wholesale price!
Riding on the momentum of this incentive
is wonderful! We plan to continue enrolling
a minimum of two individuals or couples
per month, host at least two seminars or
preview presentations each week, and
wo distributorships, a common goal, unlimited rewards! The ongoing Two for the
Win promotion has already placed tens of thousands of Nikken Reward Dollars in
the pockets of active business builders across North America. Heres how the
Satterwhites and the Thorntons, both of Richmond, Virginia, are making the most
of this generous earning opportunity with simple strategies that can help your own team
duplicate their success!

The Two for the Win promotion is a great
way to earn income immediately and help
others to do the same. Its a win-win-
win-win proposition the new Autoship
enrollee has an opportunity to earn $200 in
Nikken Reward Dollars every six months,
the sponsor earns an immediate 200
reward dollars, the company increases
sales and enrollments, and we increase the
positive impact of Nikken technologies on
people in the community.
After reading about it, I promoted the
incentive to team members and touted how
they could earn immediate reward dollars,
in addition to helping their new enrollees
earn. My strategy was to set up all contacts/
customers to benet. I determined to have
at least two per month, with other team
members joining me.
I started by sharing the benets to a new
person I was working with, who wanted the
products. I then contacted a customer who
was on Autoship and explained the benets,
and they wanted to participate. It is a plan
that I encourage all new contacts to follow.
Anyone interested in the products is
immediately enrolled in Autoship.
Peoples fear of a monthly commitment
was an obstacle, but I reassured them that
they have the option to change or cancel
their Autoship and reiterated that their
enrollment would include the opportunity
to earn 200 reward dollars after six months.
For those whose Autoship order fell short of
100PV, I demonstrated several
products for example the mStrides

,
PowerBand

, CM Complex Cream, PiMag


water, PowerChip

and Kenzen

Vital
Balance

Mix to support the benets of


adding to their order.
Ive used my Nikken Reward Dollars to
purchase another KenkoAir Purier

, and
will purchase more Nikken products for
use as demos and loaners. They are the
ideal employees I dont have to pay or
discipline them, they dont call in sick, and
they work!
I plan to continue signing at least two new
Autoship enrollees per month, with a
growing number of Consultants doing the
same. My short-term goal is to have several
team members earning an extra $200-plus
each month, leading to rank advancements
and resulting in team growth. I also have
a goal to win the Believe. Grow. Prosper.
Global contest. Long term, I want to qualify
for the Presidents Club, advance my own
rank and develop new leaders.
This incentive is a great way to motivate
people to share, build condence, boost
teamwork and have fun! It has been a joy
to see Al & Sandra Thornton grow, not only
in the size of their team but also in their
posture in presenting Nikken to others.
I am so grateful for the implementation of
this incentive for those in my group who are
embracing it.

Nikken Consultants in Japan attended an engaging
lecture delivered by Dr. Hiroyoshi Inoue, professor
at the School of Medicine, Keio University.
Attendees were captivated and enlightened by his
talk on ApoLactoferrin, one of the markets
exclusive nutritional products. A well-known
medical commentator who makes frequent
television appearances, Dr. Inoue helped formulate
the product and shared the latest data in an
accessible way. Consultants in the Yokohama area,
Japans second largest city, are actively hosting
such product lectures at least three times a year,
effectively spreading awareness and increasing
public interest in Nikken products.

Pollution in oceans
on the rise, too
The amount of trash that human beings generate
is predicted to keep rising every year for at least the
remainder of this century. Efforts to decrease long-lasting
solid waste plastic packaging and other refuse have not
met with much success to date; the growing heaps of landll
wont even reach peak deposits until 2021. And because a sizable
proportion of this debris ends up in the sea, this has the
potential to create a marine hazard of immense scope. We
estimate that were going to have millions of tons of plastic
going into the ocean with so far unknown consequences, said
Jenna Jambeck, an environmental engineer at the University
of Georgia. Yet Jambeck can see a hopeful aspect of this
problem: it will become difcult to ignore. The one
thing this issue has going for it . . . is that you can
see the garbage.

Focus on envi ronment
A new look at
plastic bottles, human
reproduction . . .
A three-year study has been initiated at the University
of Massachusetts to investigate the possible connection
between phthalates and sperm DNA. Phthalates
bisphenol A is one example are used in plastic containers
such as disposable water bottles, and have been detected
in nearly 100% of the U.S. population. Phthalate exposure
is known to cause endocrine irregularities. Environmental
health scientist Richard Pilsner explained, We plan to
measure eight different phthalates to examine the
fathers environmental health impact on a couples
reproductive success, while future [study] aims
will also include the childs health.

Fire retardants:
avoid where possible
At critical points in a childs physical
development, exposure to even minute amounts
of toxic re retardants in furniture and bedding can
damage the reproductive system and cause decits in
mental ability, based on clinical ndings. Small children
tend to ingest more of these chemicals than adults
because the additive may cling to hands, toys and other
objects that infants place in their mouths. Experts
recommend that parents take steps to minimize the
childs contact with retardant-treated surfaces,
including mattresses and nursing pillows.
(Environmental Working Group, undated.)
More
man-made gases
discovered in atmosphere
Scientists at the University of East Anglia
(Britain) have found two additional chlorouorocarbons
and one hydrouorocarbon in Earths air. This follows the
discovery of another four man-made gases detected by the
same team in March. The researchers compared air samples
taken during aircraft ights with air collected between 1978 and
2012 in Tasmania, a relatively unpolluted atmospheric region. Dr.
Johannes Laube, from the UEA School of Environmental
Sciences, remarked that Two of the gases that we found earlier
in the year were particularly worrying because they were still
accumulating signicantly up until 2012. Emission increases
of this scale have not been seen for any other
[chlorouorocarbons] since controls were introduced
during the 1990s.
(Environmental News Network, June 4, 2014.)
. . . and weight gain
Bisphenol A and similar phthalates, in
addition to health concerns already recognized,
are now suspected in contributing to an increase in
body weight over time. Scientists are interested in
whether the hormone-disrupting compound may play
a role in weight changes. New research in the matter
can help to generate hypotheses . . . that can then
be tested in detailed laboratory studies, said Bruce
Blumberg at the University of California, Irvine, a
leading expert on chemicals and obesity.

In our early beginnings, our hard work resulted in the release
of the rst systematic analysis of childrens exposure to
carcinogens in the home and school environments by the
Natural Resources Defense Council. The study led Senator
Barbara Boxer to introduce the Childrens Environmental
Protection Act dedicated to Colette Chuda. Several years later,
our signature Easy Steps helped to create widespread
awareness of the hidden chemicals in our homes, reaching
140 million people nationwide.
Today, our focus is on educating parents on how to make
changes in their everyday lives to avoid chemicals and
environmental toxins for the safety of children and families.
We do this through our online and grassroots programs.
We also work with corporate partners that provide better
options in the marketplace to promote and support safer,
healthier products. While our core focus is not advocacy, we
support legislation calling for increased regulatory oversight
for chemicals and their use in commerce.

Healthy Child Healthy World rst started working with corporate

Partner initiative was formalized in 1996 and today we work with
over 40 corporate partners.
The quality standard guidelines to become a Trusted Partner can
be found on our website. All of our partners are working toward
transparent product practices and creating healthier, safer
products. We have partners across many product areas includ-
ing personal care, food, household cleaning, toys and furniture.
Together, we work to expand awareness and understanding of
environmental hazards in relation to childrens health, encourage
daily action and informed lifestyle choices, and engage
communities to make wise choices and responsible decisions.
How does the Nikken mission align with or support
HCHWs goals?
There are parallels between the Nikken mission and the 5
Pillars of Health and Healthy Child Healthy Worlds mission. Here
at Healthy Child our mission is to educate and empower parents
to protect their children from environmental toxins. Together with
Nikkens focus on healthy mind, body and family, we can all work
together to continue to provide families with the tools they need to
keep their loved ones safe and healthy.
What are some of HCHWs current projects and long-term
goals? What does HCHW hope to accomplish with the new
Healthy Home campaign?
Our goal at Healthy Child Healthy World is to engage in a
dialogue about the impact of the environmental toxins we are all
exposed to in our everyday lives. Our ultimate goal would be a
world where every child can grow up healthy and happy.
Healthy Childs current programs are Shop Healthy, Easy Steps,
Mom on a Mission, Educational Workshops, and Healthy Parenting
Kit. Through our programs and outreach, our goal is to increase
our voice through the community as well as to identify important
topic areas that are not being addressed from an environmental
health perspective.
Healthy home improvement is a topic area that we believe is not
being addressed broadly enough. Our Easy Steps to Healthy Home
Improvement campaign is comprised of an e-book, an infographic,
and a brochure. These three tools will serve to educate anyone
embarking on a DIY project about the considerable potential
dangers and environmental hazards of home improvement.
First and foremost, we want everyone to be safe from a health
perspective while doing home improvement projects. We always
encourage calling a professional. We also want to bring to light
the idea that sometimes tearing something down can cause more
harm than leaving it be. We want people to stop and think about
the products they are using during the home improvement
project, encouraging them to scrutinize ingredients just as they
would do with products in other categories such as food or
personal care.
Lastly,
please share what
personally inspired you to get involved
with HCHW.
I was rst introduced to Healthy Child Healthy World in 2006
when I was launching my company, Plum Organics. At the time,
I was very focused on the quality of our food, especially for babies,
and the importance of organic farming practices and its impact on
our food system. When I learned of Healthy Childs mission,
I wanted to support it and Plum Organics became a Trusted
Partner in 2007.
I am inspired by my fellow entrepreneurs who are striving to
create products that are cleaner, safer, and healthier for our
families and our world. I am inspired by Nancy and Jim Chuda
and how they took their personal loss and created Healthy Child
Healthy World so other parents could be better educated about
the risks in our environment a benet they never had.

Raising
Jeff Isom on the
new and improved
Gold training
the Bar
Gold training was reintroduced to the
eld early this year. Why was it important
to bring Gold training back, and how are
the current classes different than before?
Choosing to build a Nikken business means
deciding to be a leader and entrepreneur.
Success comes with helping others
understand the incredible value of Nikken
products and the amazing opportunity
offered in a Nikken business. Gold training
can connect Independent Nikken Consultants
with the leader and entrepreneur inside of
them. It aims to impart the knowledge, skills
and tools that allow Consultants to advance
to Gold rank and beyond and to enjoy the
benets that success brings.
The current Gold curriculum includes an
increased focus on active participation and
experiential learning. We want the
Consultants to learn by doing and not only
by listening.
Are there any prerequisites or
recommended experience for attending
Gold training?
Attendees of Gold training must be
graduates of Humans Being More

, at the
rank of Silver or above and have a deep
desire to take their Nikken business to a
whole new level. With a passion for self-
improvement and a willingness to learn,
Nikken Consultants will accomplish what
they set out to achieve.
If a Consultant is already building their
business with moderate success, is it still
worth their while to attend Gold training?
The training is a collaborative learning
environment. Those already enjoying success
will grow even more quickly as they share
their knowledge. This is a key aspect of true
leadership, and Gold training is a great place
to practice teaching and training others.
What is the most important thing Gold
training students learn?
The most important lesson of Gold training
has to do with a deep and abiding connection
to ones why the driving force that causes
a person to act. It is only when people gain
clarity about what they truly want that they
can attain it. With Gold training the potential
to more constantly experience our why is
increased exponentially.
Is it valuable for Consultants to retake Gold
training if theyve completed it before?
Unless you attended the March 2014 Gold
training in Pleasanton, California, you
havent attended Gold training not this
updated and enhanced version. Participants
of Humans Being More training often repeat
the course again and again, because the
class empowers them to advance in their
Nikken business and in achieving their
life goals.
Likewise, Gold training equips attendees
to take stock of their current situation and
lay claim to the ideas and abilities that will
help propel them toward their next objective,
in the various arenas where they practice
leadership.
What kind of feedback have you received
from Gold training attendees?
The response from the eld has been
extremely positive. Gold training cultivates
an environment of learning and growth that
is supportive, afrming and uplifting. Recent
participants agree that Gold training is a
must for anyone who desires to grow their
Nikken business at an accelerated pace.

n March 16 a formal commemoration in
Tokyo marked the 20th anniversary of Japans
Magnetic Health Science Foundation where
Nikken was acknowledged for helping to create this
distinguished scientic body.
As a leader in the development of magnetic
technology, Nikken was inspired to contribute toward
the establishment of an organization devoted to this
purpose. The MHSF was conceived in 1994, and an
initial donation from Nikken within the next year
amounted to nearly $4 million.
Nikken continues to sustain the institution nancially.
To date an additional $2 million has been provided
to assist the foundations annual selection and grant
process for magnetic research. As of 2014, MHSF
has endowed grants enabling 233 research projects,
largely made possible by the $6 million in funding
from Nikken.
At the March 16 event, Nikken International Chairman
Toshizo Watanabe who holds the position of senior
director with the foundation presented awards to
seven MHSF members in recognition of their years of
service. Yoji Takeuchi, president of Nikken Company,
Ltd. (Japan) and a member of the Magnetic Health
Science Foundation Council, was on hand to propose
a toast at the anniversary party.
An exclusive lecture program at the meeting included
an appearance featuring the chief professor and
chief director of rehabilitation at the Jikei University
of Medicine. Solution from Japan: Rehabilitation for
Post-Stroke Patients discussed the use of magnets
in various applications.
The Persistence of Dreams, as presented by a
senior fellow of the Japan Aerospace Exploration
Agency and professor at the Institute of Space and
Aeronautical Science, revealed the ndings made by
the rst space vehicle to collect planetary samples
from an asteroid, and how this has furthered the
human quest for discovery.
This year the Magnetic Health Science Foundation
is bestowing grants to 10 recipients, with a total of
$100,000 to underwrite their research projects.
The foundation intends to continue its support of this
vital area of study, and in its own words, to ourish
towards the 30th and 40th anniversary.

has inspired people everywhere to lead more balanced
and abundant lives. For nearly four decades, Nikken
Consultants have embraced Mr. Masuda and
Mr. Watanabes vision of the 5 Pillars of Health

,
spreading this message around the world while nding
the paths to their own dreams in the belief that people
could truly be more. As your president, I am continuing
the tradition with a commitment to sharing why the
5 Pillars of Health can bring balance to peoples lives.
The 2014 vision statement expresses the hopes, dreams,
mission and purpose of our Independent Consultants
worldwide. The ideas contained in the statement convey
who we are and remind us of that which we continually
strive to be. Its a great roadmap for the present and the
future.
Why do you feel its important to communicate
this message to the eld?
By being clear about our objectives, Consultants can gain
condence in the continued commitment of Nikken to its
original intentions. We can know that we share a desire
to change the world, and to create a more joyful,
peaceful, abundant life for all who seek it.
What is your strategy for getting Nikken
Consultants on board with this vision?
In addition to announcing the statement online and via
social media, we have been working with Presidents
Club members to share it with their teams around the
world. This is perhaps the most important part of our
strategy. Our eld leaders have been living this vision for
many years. Their efforts are key to reaching and
enlisting our Consultants not just in North America,
but globally.
Jeff Isom, Colleen Edwards, our country managers and I
are extending this challenge to Consultants all over the
world: Take a moment and focus on the objectives of the
vision statement every day. Read through it, or ponder
a portion of it. Then, take a pen and write this sentence
on a piece of paper: Nikken is a top ten company in the
world DSA, and I am making it happen. If we all choose
to do this together daily, the results will be extraordinary.
What sets Nikken apart from other network
marketing or health & wellness companies?
The 5 Pillars of Health and Humans Being More

create
a culture that is not found anywhere else in the direct
selling industry, or other health & wellness companies.
The idea of creating balance and total wellness in all 5
Pillars is a noble and admirable goal, and it is unique to
Nikken. We can be proud of the fact that Nikken is truly
an institution unlike any other.
How condent are you that we will reach
this goal?
Many aspects of the vision statement are continually
realized every day, as Consultants go about their work
of serving others and sharing with them the potential for
a better life. Will we achieve the objectives of the vision
statement? We already are. Am I condent that Nikken
will place among the top 10 direct selling organizations
in the industry? Absolutely! I know my corporate staff is
committed to this goal, and our eld
leaders are eager to forge ahead and guide their teams
toward this purpose. If we work together, we will make it
a reality.
