DIAMOND DETERMINATION
Irene Ouillette
What she learned from Susan the woman who would become
her Nikken sponsor altered the direction of Irenes life.
Already a staunch advocate of a chemical-free lifestyle, Irene
immediately identified with the Nikken philosophy of natural
wellness solutions. Im all for anything natural that can help
people, she says. To me, wellness is best described as the
of three to four quarts of PiMag water, and she loves the Air
Wellness system too.)
Moreover, the compensation plan made sense. Always the
proactive achiever, Irene was determined to advance to the
Diamond rank within her first eight months. I was so
disappointed when that didnt happen, she admits. But hearing
from some Nikken leaders who ultimately reached their goals,

Advancement
Charles & Pam Foster
Missouri City, TX
Charles and Pam Foster came from successful careers in
photography and choral direction, respectively, before they
set their sights on Nikken. In the beginning, they shared
Nikken as a product model. It worked, but we found
that this method was too slow in getting us to our goal,
concedes Charles. Looking for a way to accelerate their
business development, the Fosters found experienced
mentors in the veteran Royal Diamond couple Mac McDonald and Pat Terry.
Since then, Mac and Pat have helped us to build a fastpaced, duplicable and solid organization, says Pam. Its
fun as well as rewarding!
The Fosters have developed an approach theyve dubbed
their daily method of operation, which begins with identifying a prospect as a potential business builder. The couple arranges a sit down where they present an overview
of the Nikken compensation plan and then sign up the
prospect with Nikken Vital Packs to jump start their retail
sales, Autoship and a myNikken Premier subscription. The
next step is getting the new signup enrolled in the next Silver online and Humans Being More trainings. Then, they
provide supplemental training resources to help the new
signup assemble a plan to grow their Nikken business.
The 21 Club is a big part of that plan, notes Charles. We
dont overwhelm new Consultants with all the details; we
just get them started on the incentive and help them drill
down their prospect lists.
By all accounts, this strategy is paying off. Charles and
Pam recently advanced to the Gold rank, and have also
earned the prestigious Paragon Award for developing
three new Silver Consultants within three months along
the way. It is such an honor, says Pam, and its validation that the Nikken business works!
SUCCESS TIPS
Look for a mentor who understands your aspirations, dreams
and goals and is willing to teach you.
Listen and be coachable. Then, teach what you learn and lead
by example.
Big events are key to keeping team members connected and
seeing the big picture.

Lifestyle Bonus
By implementing the principles taught by our
mentors (and written about in our workbook
Vital Steps), we were able to advance to the
Gold level. Growing a successful Nikken
business takes more than just the 21 Club
incentive. A Consultant must follow strategic
steps in order to reach their goals. [Ed. note:
Read more about the Fosters brilliant success
strategies on pp.7 & 15 of this issue.]
The mansion behind us is not ours yet.
Actually, its the site of our recent mastermind
group retreat, where we spent four days
teaching and mentoring. Located in the
beautiful state of Louisiana, the plantation
home is also a bed & breakfast with lovely
surroundings. It was the perfect setting for
our mastermind group to learn and grow.
Everyone reaped benefits from our time
together, and our Lifestyle bonus money
made it possible!
We have big plans for our future, and were so
glad Nikken provides the wonderful Lifestyle
bonus program.

LATIN AMERICA
More than 1,500 Consultants from throughout Latin America
gathered in August for an exciting synchronized market event,
held concurrently in both Mexico and Colombia. An additional
500 participants joined in remotely from Peru, Ecuador, Panama,
El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica via live streaming video.
Presenters at the Expo con Ciencia event focused on building
awareness of the workings of a human body, and varying scientific
perspectives on the physiological requirements to create a life
in balance.
Dr. Sreus Naidu emphasized bone health and bio-replenishment,
while technical consultant Dave Balzer spoke on how Nikken
products are developed around the concept of natural energies.
And Walter Kim, developer of Nikken water technologies, revealed
the benefits and advantages of optimized water. Additional topics
included the importance of restful sleep and how posture affects
sleep quality.
Attendees were inspired and challenged to educate others on the
benefits of wellness.

EUROPE
Nikken Europe cohosted the Design Your Life event in August, when
nearly 300 Consultants gathered in Oslo, Norway. The second in a
series of three conventions, Design Your Life aimed to motivate and
inspire. Speakers included prominent Nikken leaders from both
Europe and North America, including Oddmund Berger, Wolfgang
Sonnenburg, Angelika Berger, Aline & Alain Banon, Jean-Pierre &
Regine Desroses, Tony Scoma, Chris Gullo and Michael DiMuccio.
Participants received an exclusive first look at new products and
sales tools slated for introduction in Nikken Europe, in addition to a
newly redesigned website and PWPs. The recognition segment put a
spotlight on top performers, including Nikken Europes recent
Paragon award recipients Fredrik de Jounge and Fredrik Marthell.
A round-table workshop engaged attendees to make their voices
heard and discuss practical solutions to their questions on
business building and team motivation. With the conclusion of this
successful event, Consultants left ready to hit the ground running,
armed with new tools, products and business strategies. The third
event in the series is the Upgrade Your Life convention, coming to
Paris in November.
AUSTRALIA
Nikken Australia recently unveiled an impressive new
public website that is as functional as it is eye catching.
Redesigned with the updated Nikken color palette, the
site features enhanced product images and links to more
detailed support materials such as Quick Reference Sheets,
videos and microsites. Also included are captivating
educational videos expounding on Nikken technologies,
as well as the Discover Freedom video to invite public web
visitors to experience the Nikken business opportunity.
In addition to improved navigation and a higher Google
search ranking than its earlier version, the website has
added a feedback submission form to enhance virtual
dialogue with visitors. In all, its a sharp, professional web
presence for Nikken Australia business builders to more
effectively engage prospects and customers.

Heart health by

Its never too early to begin paying attention to
cardiovascular fitness. So says the American Heart
Association, which recently updated their guidelines
for heart health. The group recommends that all adults
age 20 or older have their cholesterol and other risk
factors checked every four to six years. This examination
should include measures of HDL and LDL cholesterol
levels the so-called good and bad cholesterol as
well as blood pressure and other cardio factors.

hen most people hear the words energy drink they think of a
beverage that may produce the promised effect but isnt
exactly healthy.
Its true. The typical energy drink product is a nutritional nightmare: loaded
with sugar and stimulants, along with all kinds of additives, chemicals and
who knows what.
Nikken products are never typical or unhealthy. So we decided to create
our own energy drink mix that gives you the good without the bad. Its known
as Kenzen Ten4.

Enlightened
This is where one can say that white LED lighting, well,
shines.
The Nikken KenkoLight II offers full-spectrum illumination
with augmented blue light that helps us to sustain normal
circadian rhythm, the sleep-and-wake cycle that keeps us
more alert during the day and allows us to sleep better at
night. Scientific studies show that the type of lighting
provided by KenkoLight II can improve sleep efficiency and
even increase cognitive and learning ability. Conventional
artificial lighting simply cannot do that.
Because this is LED technology, KenkoLight II is also
remarkably efficient in its energy use. And unlike sunlight,
KenkoLight II does not emit ultraviolet radiation so it may
be used without the concerns that accompany prolonged
exposure to the suns rays.
As the Nobel Prize committee has
recognized, reproducing the effects of
sunlight through technology is an
amazing example of progress. But it
was Nikken who transformed
this advanced white-light LED
system into a practical,
well-designed device that
provides the benefits of
sunshine every day
KenkoLight II.
White light is not only what were used to, its what best
allows us to see. Daylight is its natural form, and at the dawn
of history humans found ways to make artificial white light.
For thousands of years it was produced only by open flame:
fires, torches, candles, then whale oil, kerosene and gaslight.
In the 1850s electric arc lamps began to appear on some city
streets, and Thomas Edison perfected his incandescent bulb
in 1879. Fluorescents came next.
Yet incandescents and fluorescents project only some of
the light wavelengths that sunshine provides. Research in
biology has shown that we need broad-spectrum lighting
particularly in the blue part of the waveband, where those
light sources are notably deficient to support physiological
functions that keep us healthy.

Texas is a great place to host a meeting as the people are so
hospitable. Its a wonderful feeling. With the unveiling of the new
