Thoughts on joining USANA and XTRM 1-11

What is USANA? Some may know, some may not. So let's me introduce it first.

USANA is a company that manufactures highly-rated pharma-grade cellular nutrition and natural supplements. It was founded in 1992 by Dr. Myron Wentz.
USANA distributes their products through the channel of Direct Selling and Network Marketing.

Networking Marketing or Networking as most people would call it. Here in the Philippines, that word would bring negative connotation and I am very well aware of it. I have been introduced(but haven't joined any) to it.

One experience was that, when me and my friends from college are looking for some part-time job, my friend's friend informed him that she can help. All we know is that we will be applying for an "encoder" position. We went to the place and then it turned out to be a presentation. At first we don't know anything about it so we just stayed and listened. The presentation was good that we were amazed by how much money we could make. We even stood up when asked who want to get rich. But in the end, it requires us to give out some "big" money at the time. I can't recall the exact amount but for us during that time, that amount of money is way too big for us to give. And we are even looking for some part-time job!

One more experience is that when my girlfriend, Yen, was looking for a new job. Someone called her, saying that a friend recommended her and said that if she could attend to a job interview. At that time she said yes. She was even advised to wear a formal attire. On the day of the said "job interview", I accompanied her to the building and because it will just be an interview, I said to her that I will be waiting her. When we arrived at the specified place, right after we went out of the elevator, I already sensed something fishy. But still, we continued. We looked for the person who called Yen and then, he told me that I can join in. In the back of my mind, "this is suppose to be a job interview for Yen so, why am I included?". And then he led us to the seats inside the room and asked us to just stay put and relax. We couldn't get out because he was there at the door looking at us. And so the presentation began! And because we were already kinda pissed-off, we weren't listening that much. We just wanted it to end ASAP.

When I was introduced to USANA last January, I already knew what was I was going to attend to. A Networking. But then I wasn't pissed-off or something. I was just normal. The way the presenter, my upline now, invited me was normal. She mentioned that it will be a presentation about Usana so there's already a transparency. Before the presentation, we were toured around the Usana office. By the way, Usana PH is at 9th & 24th floor of The Enterprise Center in Makati City.

During the presentation, I was amazed about the company especially the founder. Then came the product presentation. Each product is amazing on it's own. At first, I liked the Essentials, for overall body nutrition, and Visionex for my eye health. Even the compensation plan is great! Having 6 ways to earn(Retail, Weekly commission, Matching Bonus, Travel Incentives, Leadership Bonus, Elite Bonus) is so much!

After the presentation, we were asked whether we wanted to join. At the time, we don't have any extra money for it but we don't have any negative feedback for it. And then we just went back to our office.

Days passed, I was thinking whether to join or not. I don't know how to get the money for it and I also have to pay for the house I applied for monthly, and all I have is my job as the source of my money. So think think think. I then asked/prayed to God to give me a sign whether I would join or not. Then one day at the office, I suddenly remembered about my possible application for the SSS loan. Right then and there, I though this was the sign I'm asking  so I joined USANA.

Being in USANA is one thing, but being in the team, XTRM 1-11 is one big thing! Knowing the vision of one of the founders of the our team, Mentor Billy De la Fuente, I'm viewing this year as a BIG YEAR for us! Having partnership with some big names like Technomarine, BPI, Sun Cellular, and the author of The Meta Secret, Dr. Mel Gill.

I'm really looking forward for a great year and more years to come!
