Law o SuccessWhen her law career demanded more than she was willing togive, Ronnie Weston ound a business that gave her exactlywhat she wanted.

Ronnie Westons law career was not only nancially rewarding but intellectually stimu-lating. It was also very time-consuming. Having reduced her work schedule a ter givingbirth to her second son, Jake, she opened a retail business. Tat, li ke the practice o law, alsoconsumed her time.

She regained control o her time

with a Bios Li e Franchise.As a Securities attorney, I hadexperience in per orming due dili-gence on companies, so I lookedinto the Bios Li e Franchise busi-ness thoroughly, Ronnie says. With al l lights green, she openeda Bios Li e Franchise. I realizedthat through a Bios Li e FranchiseI could run my own business out o my home and still be there or my husband, Evan, and my two sons,Chad and Jake, she says. I alsosaw that I could earn signi cantincome working less than 40 hoursa week.

Ronnie was right. Im a livingexample o how well a Bios Li e

Franchise works, she says. Tisbusiness gave me back my time andstill paid me well.

With ewer working hours and greater exibilit y, Ronnie was ree to attend al l o herboys basketball games as they grew up. As a lawyer, I traveled a lot and sacri ced my time,she says. My Bios Li e Franchise gives me lots o choices.

Ronnie describes the choices the Bios Li e Franchise has made available to her. BiosLi e allows me to choose the hours I work. I can work many hours and see great nancialrewards, or I can take a step back and rely on the residual income, she says. I de nitely made the choice to spend more time with my husband, children and more recently, my grandchildren. Now I am able to live a wonder ul li estyle and have time to author a oodblog, teach cooking classes and be an active member o the philanthropic community. BiosLi e has given me the gi t o time to do whats most important in li e.

Smart BusinessJim Moyles ound a business that worked or him.

Corporate America was Jim Moyles career base. He spent years as a systems engi-neer and stockbroker, then owned a merger and acquisitions company. Unlike many Bios Li e Franchise owners, it wasnt the products that attracted him to the opportunity,it was the business model and the earnings potential.

Jims interest in Bios Li e was solely nancial. I was interested purely rom the stand-

point o creating an additional income stream, he says. I was cavalier about the product when I rst got started. But thats nolonger the case. I take Bios Li e re-ligiously because I realize how it hasenhanced the quality o my health andmy li e.

His business experience providedhim with insight into what makes a

ranchise opportunity worthwhile. Aconsumable product, solid nancialsand a management team with integrity earmarks the company, in Jims estima-tion, or sustainable success.

Jim began his ranchise 16 yearsago part time. Its something you candovetail into your day-to-day activi-ties, he says. It became a ull-time en-deavor a ter about six months. My 12th

check was more than $13,000. JimsBios Li e Franchise soon expandedrom his base in Florida, and today he

has a success ul business that operatesinternationally. Te appeal is making

your income independent o your day-to-day activities, he says. Te limited hours requiredby his Bios Li e Franchise leave plenty o time to indulge his passion or the Florida Gatorsand enjoy time with his amily.

Te success o Jims Bios Li e Franchise not only provides or his amily, but helps urtherdiversi y his income. Its created a li estyle t hat would place me in the top hal o t he top1 percent o the population, he says. Te cash ow allowed me to develop an extremely healthy real estate port olio, which includes mobile home parks, shopping centers and in-dustrial parks. For Jim, the simplicity and the returns o a Bios Li e Franchise make goodbusiness sense. I cant think o anything Id rather do than work hard or a number o years

Without a college education, odd Smith knew the only way to reach his nancial goals was to be an entrepreneur. Seven months out o high school I had been laid o twice, hesays. Tat is when I made the decision to go in business or mysel . My rst business wasa printing business; my second was as a real estate agent. My third business was the BiosLi e Franchise.

Until he started his Bios Li e Franchise, odd elt like he had little control over his time.I was a top-producing real estate agent, he says. But I literally couldnt go on a date withmy wi e without the pager going o several times. Knowing that something had to change, odd made a list o the things he valued. In addition to spending quality time with his

amily, he wanted a business that would allow him to build long-term residual income. Ididnt want to continue to trade time or money, he says, and I didnt want the headachesand paperwork associated with traditional businesses.

By building a Bios Li e Franchise, odd has ound the time reedom and control hedesired. Since the early 90s hes earned more than $17 million. More importantly, he hasthe time and energy to put his income to good use. odd and his wi e, Joy, support e orts athome and abroad to improve the lives o people living in desperate conditions.

From mission trips to Haiti to providing unds or a well and hurricane shelter in theDominican Republic, the Smiths are nancially and personally involved in charitableendeavors. We send regular nancialsupport to several groups in Romaniathat help street kids and orphanedchildren, odd says. On one o my trips there I taught business leaders

how to be success ul entrepreneurs. odd and his amily are also involved in charitable programs closer tohome. Tey have spent many Sundays working with an organization thatprovides ood to homeless people in hishometown, something or which hisprevious career wouldnt have allowedtime. And unlike his real estate career,he can take time o without the threato nancial loss. Bios Li e o ers memaximum exibility, he says. For meand the quality o li e I want to have,this business has been per ect.

A Li e Beyond Bordersurma Hicks business gives her the opportunity

to travel the world.

When Burma Hicks learned about Bios Li e she says, I knew this was the right place,at the right time and the right company. As the owner o an herbal shop, she understoodthe bene ts o natural health products. When she tried Bios Li e, her results convincedher that starting a Bios Li e Franchise was asmart decision.

Be ore she started her Bios Li e Franchise,Burma was scraping a living together orhersel and her three daughters. She drove aschool bus, earning less than $200 a month,

or 10 years. She needed to earn more, so shetook a series o low-paying jobs and helpedmake ends meet by doing odd jobs on theside. I didnt have a lot o money, but I knew there had to be a better way to live, she says.Ive always been interested in nutrition, so when I learned about Bios Li e and the ran-chise opportunity I was intrigued.

Her interest in the products became herpassion and she began building an extremely lucrative business. While she still owns theherbal shop, neither Burmas business nor herli e is limited to her Alabama small town.Shes crossed state and international bor-

ders with Bios Li e, and says traveling is one o the most rewarding bene ts her businessprovides. Working my business rom home and getting to travel is wonder ul, she says.Without this business I would never have le t this one-stoplight town. Bios Li e has givenher the opportunity to visit the Philippines, Russia and Italy on business. And the exibility and nancial reedom shes gained allowed her to extend the trip to Italy to enjoy a week traveling with riends across Europe.

Aside rom travel, the com orts o home have also changed signi cantly as a result o theincome Burma has earned with Bios Li e. I have a 4,000-sq.- t. home on 4 acres thats paido , she says. I am able to enjoy time at home with my ve grandchildren, and when I wantto take o and go somewhere, I can!

Burmas key to success has been ocusing on helping people who want to take ca re o theirhealth. I sta rted with no money, she says. I worked hard to build my business because Iknow that health may not be everything, but without health, everything is nothing.

Salesman InterruptedRon Thomson saw the limitations o his insurance and realestate pro essions and made a career switch that saved hisfnancial uture.

Although Ron Tomson sold in surance a nd, later, real estate, he never consideredhimsel an above-average salesperson. I wasnt particularly good at selling, he says.It paid the bills or the amily, but that was about it. But when he started his own BiosLi e Franchise, Ron was nally able to truly prosper.

As Ron beca me ami liar w ith Bios Li e, he d iscovered advantages he never d reamed

were possible i n his other pro es sions. In t he insura nce busines s, every time one o my customers re erred me to someone else the customer never got rewarded, he says. But with my Bios Li e Franchise , the re err ing customers do get rewarded; it s a w in-win

or all involved. In real estate, every time I sold a house, I was unemployed. But withmy Bios Li e Franchise, there are residuals, paid re erral s and the possibility o helpingothers build their own ranchises. Im now experiencing what Id previously missed.Hes also experiencing the privilege o working with his son who has started his ownBios Li e Franchise.

Another thing Ron likes about Bios Li e is the opportun ity to take advantage o the growing global marketplace. Te beauty o having a Bios Li e Franchise is that we a re pro table and success u l no matter what market were in . My business start edlocally, but it has expanded into20 countries.

Ron is doing well and expectsto do even better in the uture asconditions change. I believe ag-ing baby boomers will soon realizethey arent prepared or retirement

and need an additional source o in-come, he says. Also, they will belooking or natural alternatives toimprove their overall well-being. Ithink Bios Li e has one o the bestsolutions or cardiovascular disease, which is one o the biggest healthrisks today.

Ron is thank ul he made a careerchange. I made almost six guresmy rst year, and its gone up romthere, he says. I was never a greatsalesman, but or this business Idont need to be.

Merging InterestsOwning a ios Li e Franchise gives Dr. Neal Secrist the

reedom to pursue his passion or helping others.

First as a military ight surgeon, then as an ER physician, coming to the aid o othersis Dr. Neal Secrists ocus. One o my goals in li e is to help people, he says. But in the1990s, Neal realized that seeing patients one at a time had its limitations, so he lookedtoward broader possibilities and ound Bios Li e. It came along at a good season in my li e, when I was in transition, he says.

Li e was hectic. Jumping betweenhis military practice and his duties inthe emergency room le t little time or

amily. Neal longed or a amily prac-tice, which meant another residency.For that, he would need time andmoney.

Neal realized that starting a BiosLi e Franchise could give him thechance to regain control o his li e. Although he didnt have any businessexperience, with e ective trainingNeal excelled and earned enough tocom ortably begin his amily practiceresidency. I chose to adopt an attitudeo coachability, he says. My Bios Li eincome allowed me to go back, sharp-en the saw and take the higher levels

o certi cation. oday Neal still spends part o his week in emergency medicine, but healso practices amily medicine, ocus-ing on metabolic disorders like diabetes. And he makes Bios Li e available to his patients.Its a nice merger o interests, he says. My patients are gaining success here that they havent been able to gain rom a pharmaceutical standpoint.

His success with Bios Li e allows Neal to spend more time with his wi e and two daugh-ters and participate in medical mission trips to Bolivia. Its also enabled him to extend thereach o the help he can o er others. When I was seeing patients one at a time on a daily basis, I earned a good living, Neal says. Now I help thousands o people across severaltime zones on a daily basis. Be ore I made a living; now I make a di erence... and as a re-sult... I earn a better living.

Building a Better BusinessA ter a devastating economic blow, Darlene Long took controlo her li e and reclaimed fnancial security.

As t he owner o a large construc-tion company, Darlene Long was suc-ceeding in a mans world. Betweenrunning her company and pursuingher hobby o designing and building

custom homes, Darlenes work wasstretched into 16- to 18-hour days. Tings were going well nancially,but the time and energy her businesstook le t little or her amily.

When a recession hit, Darlene weathered the economic storm or

our years until she was nally orcedinto bankruptcy. I was in the middleo bankruptcy, my marriage was all-ing apart and I was about to lose my house, she says. It was like being inan avalanche. Id always had a plan

or another building or the next roundo nancing. For the rst time in my career, I didnt have a plan. I was dev-

astated, overwhelmed, destroyed and incredibly overweight.Darlene began taking control o her li e again when she discovered Bios Li e. It helped

her regain her health, and when she started her own Bios Li e Franchise her nancial andpersonal li e began to turn around. Te income and exibility o the business allowed herto be there or her children and now or her grandson. Te vast majority o single momslive below the poverty line, Darlene says. With my business, I can make a di erence inpeoples health and generate an income that gives me a li e o prosperity.

oday, Darlene is on a mission. I want to educate individuals not only about health risksbut o their options or a ull, hea lthy li e, she says. When we real ize whats happening inthe world as ar as wellness is concerned, we have a catastrophe on our hands. People aregetting sick and are not aware o their options. I am on a mission to impact peoples lives with options.

Darlene sees reminders o her past as she drives around town. Everywhere I go I see theimpact o my ormer company and the many buildings we erected, she says. Te ootprintso my old pro ession are everywhere I look, but the ootprints I leave now are hidden in thehearts o the people I touch with Bios Li e. Im building something new all over again.

Rick Jordans amily had been in the commercial insurance business or threegenerations. When an economic recession hit Cali ornia in the early 90s his livelihood wasthreatened. It created a difcult nancial situation or my amily, he says.

Putting in more hours and selling more policies didnt improve matters. I elt like I wason a treadmill , he says. Te aster I ran, the more accounts I wrote, the less time I had to

do things I wanted to do. Rick realized it was imperative to diversi y his income and reducehis dependence on the insurance industry. But with a amily o 10 relying on him, quittinghis job to nd something else wasnt an option.

Rick decided starting a Bios Li e Franchise that could be built part time was his bestoption. rying Bios Li e and experiencing improvement in his own cholesterol levelsreafrmed his decision. A ter using Bios Li e I knew I could build a business with it, hesays. I dedicated an hour or two every day tomy ranchise and a ter several years developed asigni cant income.

oday Rick owns a variety o businesses andis able to hire management rms to overseeday-to-day operations. My Bios Li e Franchiseallowed me to diversi y my income by investingin numerous businesses, he says. Now I have asolid nancial situation.

Te income and time reedom hes gained with the success o his Bios Li e Franchisegive Rick the time to pursue his hobbies, like

training or and participating in marathons andcollecting antique Porsches. Te income alsoallows him to provide choices or his amily. Itsallowed my older children to go to any collegethey want, he says.

Rick especially values the time he can spend with his amily. Not only can he be part o hischildrens daily lives, hes also able to nally take vacations with them. We have a second home in Hawaii, he says. For the rst ew years we owned it we werent able to get away, my desk would be piled high with insurance stu ,and the time o wasnt worth it. Since owning his Bios Li e Franchise Ricks been ableto put that home to use, enjoying monthlong vacations with his amily. I get to do whatI want, when I want, without worrying about money or time, he says. I still work, but I work because I choose to, not because I have to. Tats a good place to be.

Li e in BalanceFor Philip Song, having the reedom to put frst things frst isthe true measure o success.

I most men live lives o quiet desperation, as Toreau claimed, Philip Song decidedly isnt like most men. He came to that conclusion 15 years ago, struggling or balance be-tween his lucrative corporate real estate career and his amily li e. My income was quitesubstantial, but I just couldnt balance time and money, he says. It seemed like every timeI had more money, I had less time. And i I had more time, I had less money.

Dissatis ed with the imbalance between time and money, Philip began searching or abusiness that would help him level the scales. What he l iked about the Bios Li e Franchise was that he could build the business on a part-time basis. It gave the opportunity to gen-erate a stream o income without jeopardizing my ull-time income, he says. A ter thehighly specialized and intense business o corporate real estate, his Bios Li e Franchise wasa welcome change, and it wasnt long be ore the income it provided replaced that rom hisreal estate career. oday he says, Tis ranchise allows me to balance my li e.

Balance and reedom are, in Philips mind, the true measures o success. I was success-ul be ore, he says. I had the house, the car, the clothes, but I came to the realization that

there was something more. oday I eel more in control o my li e than ever. I have the bal-ance between time and money, and I have the reedom to spend time with my riends and

amily like most people cant.Spending quality time with

his amily is one o the rewards o owning a Bios Li eFranchise that Philip valuesmost. Freedom is being able todo what you want to do, when

you want to do it, he says. Itsbeing able to not only recog-nize what should come rst,but being able to live by thosepriorities. And whether its enjoying music together at homeor taking his wi e and childrenon a cruise, Philip treasureshaving the reedom to ocus onhis amily. I believe the most valuable things in li e cant bebought, he says. Having the

reedom to have a li e or realrelationshipsis key.

Constructing a New Li eGlade Poulsens business was holding his li e hostage.With ios Li e, he ound a new business and ultimate reedom.

Glade Poulsen elt as i his business owned him, rather than the other way around.He spent more than 20 years working in new-home construction, an industry he describesas highly competitive with narrow margins. I went through several cycles o east or am-ine with my business, he says. I began to wonder i I was going to be 65 years old, at thebottom o one o those cycles, penniless and without the energy to ramp up again.

Glades construction business was time- and capital-intensive. It was also closely linkedto the local economy; something Glade knew put him nancially at risk. I the localeconomy was good, business was good, he says. I it wasnt, I su ered. o minimize hisrisk, Glade began sea rching or a business option that would provide greater economic andgeographic diversity.

He examined more than40 businesses in our years. Iasked really tough questions,he says. As he learned aboutthe Bios Li e Franchise, theindustrys trends and the po-tential or international expan-sion, he became convinced it was the business or which hedbeen searching.

Since opening a Bios Li eFranchise 11 years ago, the -nancial rewards Glade and his

wi e, Cindy, have reaped havear surpassed the income heearned rom his construct ion business. ogether they have created an international businessthat o ers signi cant residual income. Because they made the choice to build their businessinternationally, Glade and Cindy also enjoy traveling the world together.

Most importantly, their business gives the couple time to enjoy the money they earn.With my construction business I was t ied to my work, Glade says. I couldnt go on va-cations, and the cash ow elt like a time bomb waiting to explode. oday, our quality o li e is so di erent. Our Bios Li e Franchise gives us the cash ow to do things we enjoy. Istill enjoy building a house as a hobby once in a while. I can build and nish it as an a rtist would a painting, without worrying about the costs. As parents and now grandparents,Cindy and Glade are able to spend time with amily and at tend many o the childrens andgrandchildrens activities such as ball games, music recitals and lunch at school. We havethe time and money to do things we enjoy, without the stress.

A Joint E ortDr. Gerald resnahan and his wi e, Lyn, are working together tohelp people improve their health.

As a respected cardiologist, Dr. Gerald(Jerry) Bresnahan understands the impor-tance o preventive health care. He is alsoaware o the potentially harm ul side e ectso some o the synthetic drugs used or this

purpose. Tats why, when he discovered BiosLi e and its sa e, natura l preventive healthcarebene ts, he made the choice to o er it to hispatients as an alternative. In all my years o medicine, I have never seen any natural prod-uct that is more e ective at reducing ones risk o heart disease than Bios Li e, Jerry says.

Impressed with the results, Jerry, whoserves as chairman o the cardiothoraciccommittee at a major Southern Cali orniamedical center, decided to start his own BiosLi e Franchise. At the time, Jerry had been asuccess ul cardiologist or more than 15 years. His wi e, Lyn, was a paramedical aestheti-cian working with cancer patients and burn victims. Lyn says that, although she knew Jerr y had thoroughly researched the products be ore beginning the ranchise, she was initially uncertain about adding a business to t heir already busy lives. But the results Bios Li e o ersconvinced her the decision was a wise one.

For the past 10 years, Jerry and Lyn have continued to build their Bios Li e Franchise

together. Jerry continues to practice medicine and helped develop an enzyme used to de-termine when a person has experienced a hear t attack. And with their Bios Li e Franchisethey have helped thousands o men and women improve their health.

Bios Li e allows us to help people beyond the one-on-one contact we have with pa-tients, Lyn says. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, I think Im going to have aheart attack today. With this business were able to do even more to help people improvetheir health.

In contrast with the demands o being a surgeon, Jerry and Lyn enjoy the quality o li etheyre creating or themselves with their Bios Li e Franchise. We have three grandkids who we absolutely adore, Lyn says. We can spend time with them and with each other,because we have the reedom to choose when and how much we will work with the ran-chise. And while the nancial rewards o their business are signi cant, the reedom tobuild a success ul business on their terms, coupled with the satis action o helping peopleimprove their health, are t he true rewards o Bios Li e or this husband-and-wi e team.

Flying has been a passion or Paul Kero since he was a boy. My dad took me up in anairplane while I was little, and its something I never orgot, he says. When I was 15, Istarted hanging a round the airport and nagled my way into a job, pumping gas and wash-ing windshields o small planes. He spent his paycheck on ying lessons and eventually earned a private pilots license. I thought ying pro essionally would be a great way to

make money doing what I loved.Flying as a hobby was one thing, doing it pro essionally was another. Paul spent 10 yearsas an airline captain, but the joy o ying was o set by the hectic schedule. I was gone

ve or six days a week and didntsee my kids much, he says. As helooked up rom the bottom o hisairlines seniority ladder, he says,I realized my schedule wouldntimprove until retirement. I waslooking or a li estyle change.

When Paul started takingBios Li e he experienced markedimprovement in his cholesterollevel. A ter a couple months onit, I became intrigued with the

ranchise opportunity; that wasin 1995. He started a Bios Li eFranchise and continued ying

or about a year be ore takinghis business ull time. I learnedrom other ranchise owners andollowed the training, and within

a year I was making more money than I was in the airline busi-ness, he says. I had one daugh-ter and another on the way, and it

was nice to be home and have more control over my time. oday Paul doesnt have to worry about air time inter ering with amily time. My kids

are older now, and I love that I can visit them whenever I want. He also enjoys ying orpleasure again. I give ight instruction or un, he says. Ive recovered all the reasonsI became in atuated with ying to begin with. Having my own Bios Li e Franchise hasenabled my personal li e to soar.

Te Simple Li eJohn erta discovered that when it comes to business,simplicity and good products are the keys to success.

Is what youre doing going to accomplish your li etime goals? Tats what John Bertaasked himsel when he discovered Bios Li e. A certi ed public accountant, real estate bro-ker, mortgage broker, contractor and builder, John says, I spent my 20s and 30s deeply involved in nancially rewarding businesses, but they were time-consuming.

John was semiretired when he learned about the Bios Li e Franchise. I was intrigued by

the simplicity o the business and by the residual income, he says. Te ease o doing busi-ness as a Bios Li e Franchise owner was something to which John was unaccustomed. Youdont have to have a lot o capital; its not complex, he says. No other business model Iveseen can match the simplicity o this business. With my back-ground, I could go back into realestate or build another business.But I absolutely do not want togo back into a situation where Idont have time reedom.

Over the past 15 years, Johnand his wi e, Julie, have createda li estyle or themselves thatthey couldnt previously imag-ine. One example o time ree-dom he cites is a comparison tohis career as a CPA. Te last15 days o tax season, my CPA

riends are spending 18-hourdays in their ofces, John says.I spend that time having un with my grandchildren. I havethe exibility to do what I wantto do when I want to do it.

An abundance o income andtime reedom are undeniable bene ts o their Bios Li e Franchise, but or John and Juliehelping others improve their health is especially rewarding. Statistics are clear and very concerning, he says. Heart disease is nondiscriminatory, it a ects men and women. Ithink its important to ocus not only on the potential nancial return, but al so on the actthat we are in the preventive-healthcare business. Te nancial rewards and residual in-come o Bios Li e are a de n ite bonus, but helping people is the most important thing.

A New DirectionJan loom didnt let a lack o experience keep her rombuilding a proftable business.

Jan Bloom learned about Bios Li e while visiting the ront ofce o her husbandsamily-medicine practice. A ter learning more about the products at a medical convention,

she purchased the products or her husband and daughters, who all had high cholesterol. Jan began telling others about Bios Li e when she saw the positive results her ami-

ly experienced. Her initial intention was to help people improve their heart health, but

her objective expanded when she learned about theBios Li e Franchise and theincome potential it o ered.When I heard there wereother ranchise owners mak-ing a ve- gure monthly in-come, I got interested andthought about how hard my husband was working, shesays.

Jan started a Bios Li eFranchise. When I started,I had no idea it would turninto a multimillion-dollarbusiness, she says. I didnt

know what to expect, but I told mysel that Id give it ve years. Tat was 14 years ago, andher business has exceeded any expectations she had or it. When I earned enough money to

buy a brand new Jaguar on my own, without my husband by my side, I knew I had made it. Te nancial success o Jans Bios Li e Franchise enabled her husband, Stephen, to retireearly. He practiced medicine or 20 years, she says. As a physician he was always on calland hardly saw the kids. We made the decision or him to be Mr. Mom, because the po-tential or my ranchise was much greater than his potential in medicine.

Reduced stress, more amily time and increased income are a ew o the many bene ts Jan and her amily have experienced rom her success ul Bios Li e Franchise. Te best parto it was that I was able to be pro essionally and nancially productive while working romhome, she says. Jan also loves knowing that the skills shes learned rom owning her ownbusiness are being passed on to her children as they watch her succeed.

Jan points out that she had no business experience be ore starting her Bios Li e Franchise.She sought advice rom other ranchise owners, took advantage o the companys trainingand developed a lucrative and rewarding business. I wasnt a businesswoman be ore, shesays, but I am now.
