The Think Tank is a TEAM in the best sense of the word. They work together without concern for organizational “lines.” As Bruce Higgins Bruce Higgins Bruce Higgins Bruce Higgins said in Boston, “The Think Tank coordinates

STEMTech keeps coming up with innovative ways to en-hance communication between field leaders, distributors and corporate. As if having a top-notch website, online recruiting and training, a user-friendly Back Office and information-filled weekly conference calls wasn’t enough, enter the STEM-STEM-STEM-STEM-Tech Think Tank!Tech Think Tank!Tech Think Tank!Tech Think Tank!

The Think Tank’s purpose is to add another very effective vehicle for communication be-tween the field and corporate. The Think Tank meets in person three times each year, and in conference calls twice monthly, working on “mastermind” activi-ties where issues are ad-dressed, ideas are discussed, and recommendations are drafted for presentation to cor-porate executives. These in-tense sessions are led by George Antarr, VP/North Amer-ica, who carries the group’s work output to the San Clemente executive teram.

“The best way I can de-scribe the Think Tank’s function is this,” George says. “Think of them as your ‘congressmen’ or representatives from the field. It’s their job to listen to you, then meet to discuss your is-sues and effect positive change that will benefit all STEMTech distributors.”

At any one time the TOP TOP TOP TOP SEVENSEVENSEVENSEVEN STEMTech distributors comprise the Think Tank. To

become one of these TOP SEVEN, a distribu-tor must be:

• A STEMTech mem-ber in good stand-ing, with at least one year as a distributor, AND

• “Car-qualified” for six months or more (See qualifications for the BMW Bonus Pro-gram) , AND

• Producer of one of the top seven volumes on his/her first three levels of Auto-Ship.

As volume numbers fluctuate, some positions in the Top Seven change, so some of the members of the Think Tank change, as well.

While the Think Tank now and in the future will have seven members, the first Think Tank had nine participants. At their meeting in Boston during the summer, thirtythirtythirtythirty----seven seven seven seven items were on the agenda for the weekend’s mastermind event. Tackling these issues over a 20-hour period were Izzy Matos, Bill & Caroline Lohmeyer, Mark Parsekian, Bruce Higgins, Anna Gallman, Edward Soltys, Kevin Porter and Marijke Long.

In February, the seven cur-rent Think Tank members will gather at an as-yet-undisclosed spot to address another full slate of agenda items. Where

With the Director Leader-ship Conference now behind us, everyone is focused on carrying that momentum into the fall growth season. That growth is led by our Think Tank group of seven, profiled in this month’s Cover Story. These top field leaders are a valuable asset to every-one, as they are the main communication link between the field and the home of-fice. I encourage everyone to get to know each of the Think Tank members and pass your ideas along to them.

The new STEMTech Team website announced at the conference is now “live.” This

vies, Marijke Long and Sharon Soyka have now joined the ranks of BMW qualifiers, bringing our STEM-Tech BMW Club to eleven distributorships. Congratula-tions, and Happy Car Shop-ping! As each member of this exclusive BMW Club will tell you, building a strong founda-tion of people on AutoShip is the key to a brand new BMW, with the lease payments on STEMTech!

Our Top Ten keeps pro-viding interesting insights into the building going on across North America. The “Fab Five” states once again hold onto the top five slots,

with the second five slots showing more change each month. Lately, it seems that our three top Cana-dian prov-inces are “taking turns” in the Top Ten. Will we see TWO prov-inces on next month’s list? Will any-one new break into the “Fab Five”? It all depends on you… Work hard to build your volume, and make your state, province or territory a Top Ten finisher every month!

carotenoids and B12. They both have polysaccharides that support immune func-tions. Nevertheless, in spite of their similarities, Spirulina and AFA remain very different products. Spirulina is an excep-tional source of iodine, to which some people have allergies; AFA is a negligible source of iodine. While Spirulina is a great source of omega-6 fatty acids, AFA is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids. The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are well known. But most importantly, when talking about compari-sons between Spirulina and StemEnhance, we must re-member: Spirulina does not

contain the L-selectin blocker found in AFA and, therefore, does not have any effect on stem cells. Spirulina remains a very good dietary sup-plement, but when considering the differ-ence be-tween Spirulina and Stem- Enhance, it is important to remember that they are two different products. Only StemEnhance supports stem cell function in the body.

First, let’s address the differ-ence between Spirulina and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). Spirulina and AFA are both blue-green algae and have a lot in common. They both contain phycocyanin, a natural compound with dem-onstrated anti-inflammatory properties. Both are a good source of chlorophyll, a good blood purifier and detoxifier. Due to its similarity to hemo-globin, there is evidence that chlorophyll might help in-crease hemoglobin in the blood. Both Spirulina and AFA are good sources of min-erals and vitamins, including

My family and I started taking StemEnhance at the beginning of August, 2006. At the time we had numerous health challenges. As we all experienced improvements in our health, I began to build a business with STEMTech. Within the very first week, I was a Director. At the end of the seventh week, I was a Triple Diamond!

How did this happen so fast? I didn’t do this by my-self, let me tell you. I have an outstanding upline, all of whom are successful, and I patterned my business strat-egy after theirs, building strong and fast. I worked closely with these fantastic people: Ralph Weber (who introduced StemEnhance to me), Steve “Murf” Murphy, Jerry Lindsey, and many oth-ers. It was Jerry who sug-gested to me in September that I should work hard to achieve Triple Diamond be-

fore Christian’s first visit to St. Cloud, scheduled for the end of October. At the time, I had two Business Builders in my group, so I asked Jerry what I needed for Triple Dia-mond. When he said, “50,000 in volume and seven Directors,” I thought he was crazy to think I could make it.

Nevertheless, I gave the “crazy” idea some thought, prayed about it, then went to work. I decided that I could and would do it! I started with two home meetings a week and three 3-way phone calls each day. The momen-tum was just incredible! With Murf’s help, I signed up my first 25 people, and I was on the phone with Ralph, asking questions just about every day. This was a real TEAM effort. I learned long ago that there is no “I” in TEAM. My experience with STEMTech is proof that a business grows much faster if you work as a

team. I am so lucky to have had the best team anywhere supporting me!

As my business has grown and developed, I real-ize that I am often drawing on my experiences as a Cosme-tology Educator and hair-dresser to deal most effec-tively with people. One thing I learned early on is never to prejudge a person. You can-not succeed in relationships with people if you look only on the outside. You need to get to know individuals and develop a relationship with them. As I get to know peo-ple these days, I learn about their health challenges and the challenges of other peo-ple they know. Then it is up to me to help them make a change in their lives with StemEnhance and perhaps a STEMTech business.

I truly believe that anyone with a beating heart qualifies as a candidate for Stem-

F R O M T H E F I E L D

Enhance. I know what it has done for me and for so many others, so it is natural for me to want to share it with everyone I meet. Often I begin by asking peo-ple if they’ve heard the latest news… that two scien-tists have discovered how to release adult stem cells from the bone marrow to support the body’s natural renewal system. Oh, sometimes people don’t understand the power of StemEnhance at first; but that’s where education comes in. I just keep informing them, and soon they “get it.” I do this everyday, everywhere, and my business grows and grows!

W h a t h a p p e n s when you put all of your ener-gies into acting as a man-ager? Very quickly your top producers also move into Phase Two, duplicating what they see in you. The result? You find yourself moving into Phase Three, which is the Overseer PhaseOverseer PhaseOverseer PhaseOverseer Phase.

As an overseer, you may feel really important. You c e r t a i n l y c a n n o t b e expected to get your hands dirty in the trenches, as you need to oversee the manag-ers who are managing their producers, right? The trouble is that, because distributors do what you do, both you and they very quickly move into Phase Four, where you all become Overseers of the Overseers of the Overseers of the Overseers of the OverseersOverseersOverseersOverseers. Now you are over-seeing the overseers as they manage the managers of the producers. From this “lofty” position, you are likely to begin hear ing cr i tical (negative) comments about the other managers, the com-pany, your organization’s upline… just about anyone.

You and those following your example may feel con-fused at this point. As an Overseer of Overseers, each of you may have large num-

This month I want to share some insight about the Four Phases of aFour Phases of aFour Phases of aFour Phases of a STEMTech STEMTech STEMTech STEMTech CareerCareerCareerCareer, and to let you know why it is critical that you never stop doing Phase One. This information is important for everyone, but it's espe-c i a l l y c r u c i a l f o r those of you who have been in network marketing for awhi le . I f i t seems that you have hit a plateau in building your business, you c a n g e t " u n s t u c k " as soon as you understand career phases.

The First Phase in your career as a network market-ing business builder is the Production PhaseProduction PhaseProduction PhaseProduction Phase, in which you enroll product users and business builders. Many distributors enroll a few peo-ple and then quickly move into Phase Two, the Manag-Manag-Manag-Manag-ing Phaseing Phaseing Phaseing Phase. In this phase they spend most of their time managing their new enrol-lees, rather than continuing to look for new distributors and continuing to assist peo-ple with their health. The problem with being a full-time manager is that the people you have sponsored will do what you do, not what you tell them to do.

bers in your group, but your commission checks are be-ginning to stagnate or even to decrease. No longer can you see those steadily increasing numbers each month. “What’s going on?!” you may wonder.

While periodic hills and valleys in commission check amounts can happen at any-time to anyone (whether you are fulltime or part-time) and may happen for many rea-sons, let’s go over one of the two causes of these fluctua-tions that are absolutely within your control to ad-dress. The first cause: It’s very simple… Your business building momentum will screech to a halt if you decide to leave your Production Phase behind and focus only on managing and/or oversee-ing. And remember… Every-thing that youyouyouyou do is watched and duplicated by people in your organization, so their check amounts can begin to diminish, too, if they leave behind Phase One.

So it is obvious: NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER LEAVE PHASE ONE BEHIND! LEAVE PHASE ONE BEHIND! LEAVE PHASE ONE BEHIND! LEAVE PHASE ONE BEHIND! As your organization grows, you will, of course, ADDADDADDADD Phases Two, Three and Four to your repertoire, managing

and overseeing where needed. But you will succeed in maintaining and increasing your com-m i s s i o n income if you con-tinue to work each day on y o u r P h a s e One build-ing strate-gies:

• Taking people through the Proven 4Proven 4Proven 4Proven 4----Step SystemStep SystemStep SystemStep System

• Bringing new guests to the live Step 3 conference calls

• Bringing new people to your local home or hotel meetings.

As an Overseer of Overse-ers, there is another way your check could stagnate or might even go backward, usually after you’ve had a good deal of success. I’ll lay out that situation for you next month. (You can get a head-start on next month’s column by reading about Phase Four now in the member section of our help-f u l n e w t r a i n i n g s i t e , www.teamstemtech.com.)

Tech country, but many op-erations remain the same everywhere. One system

that supports us in the UK and wherever we go is our ExigoExigoExigoExigo s o f t w a r e . Thanks to this powerful com-puter system, a distributor in t h e U n i t e d

States can order StemEn-hance for a UK customer

and have the order drop-shipped on the Britisher’s doorstep. And, using the same Exigo system, a new British distributor can place his AutoShip order in Chel-sey, and the order will be shipped to him from the London warehouse that is fully stocked with StemEn-hance and STEMTech sales aids. The entire London staff has been trained to provide the same excellent service that North American

S T E M T e c h distributors have come to expect, t o o , o f course! Who do YOU know “across the pond”? Make contact today!

The word inflammationinflammationinflammationinflammation comes from the Latin inflam-matio, which means “to set on fire.” The inflammatory process involves a complex biological cascade of molecu-lar and cellular signals that alter physiological responses. Most people associate in-flammation with skin that becomes red, painful and swollen after they get a bug bite or a splinter. Those are common symptoms of acute inflammation.

Inflammation is a normal process; without a healthy inflammatory response, wounds and tissues would not heal. So inflammation in the body is an important mechanism for health; but as with most physiological func-tions, it is vital that there is a balance. Inflammation that goes unchecked and be-comes chronic is one of the most troublesome processes in the body.

Chronic inflammation is abnormal and causes signifi-cant disruption of the normal functions of cells. It is espe-cially problematic because — unlike most people’s experi-ence with acute inflammation

— most chronic inflammation is silent, invisible and persis-tent. We can't see it and we can't feel it, but it does exist, and it causes a host of health-related problems that plague our society today. These include heart disease, diabetes, stroke, auto-immune dysfunction, Alz-heimer’s, arthritis, MS, Park-inson’s, asthma… to name just some of the ailments associated with chronic in-flammation.

One of the reasons that chronic inflammation is such a problem in the body is be-cause it appears to decrease the ability of the person’s own adult stem cells to do their job in the body. The reason is that diffuse (scattered) chronic inflamma-tion at the cellular level makes it difficult for your stem cells to know where to go because everywhere ap-pears to need their assis-tance.

Think of it this way: If the messengers that call the stem cells to come to the tissue in need were actually shouting out loud for the stem cells, this diffuse

chronic inflammation is like trying to get someone to hear you in the middle of a sta-dium full of people who are all shouting at the same time. If this background “noise” of inflammation can be dimin-ished, then the stem cells will be able to “hear” the sum-mons from tissues and can then follow the “voice” of the messenger to travel to where they are needed in the body .

What are some ways that we might decrease chronic inflammation? Some of the causes of chronic inflamma-tion is the persistent pres-ence of pathogens, environ-mental pollutants, negative genetic factors and lifestyle, among other things. While not all of these causes are within our control to address, some definitely are. Lifestyle is one: The type of lifestyle that creates inflammation includes poor sleep, lack of exercise, chronic stress and an inflammatory diet.

Inflammatory diets are heavy in saturated fats, trans fats (hydrogenated or par-tially hydrogenated oils), mar-garines, alcohol, artificial sweeteners, dairy products,

soda (diet and regular), well- cooked red meat, MSG, nuts (except almonds and wal-nuts), white and brown sugar, and white flours.

An anti-inflammatory diet inc lu des : Vegetables (especially dark leafy g r e e n s ) , fish and fish oils, flaxseeds, f l a x s e e d oil, fruit (especially pineapple, mango and papaya), oats, olive oil, StemEnhanceStemEnhanceStemEnhanceStemEnhance, bar-ley and brown seaweed.

We can significantly im-prove our quality of life by the way we treat our body. By doing our best to live an anti-inflammatory lifestyle — and by taking StemEnhance — we are taking care of our natural renewal system, our own adult stem cells.
