Company Profile: LifeMax

LifeMax is a new company currently in pre-launch. Scheduled to open for business on October 10 & 11, 2008.

Here's some information about LifeMax from the corporate site:

The Birth of LifeMax™

After Jim and Sherri Wear, the founders of LifeMax™, both received less than optimistic test results from their physician, they set out to make a dramatic change in their health. Through a more regimented diet and the addition of nutritional supplements, they sought to undo any damage that may have already been done. Their desire to live a long and healthy life led to the birth of LifeMax™. During an outing with a friend, Sherri Wear was introduced to Salvia hispanica L. She and her husband, Jim Wear, used the product for weeks and were amazed by its remarkable properties.

The Rediscoverer of Salvia hispanica L.

The foremost expert in the world on the growing and harvesting of Salvia hispanica L. and the rediscoverer of the seed, Dr. Wayne Coates, set out to enhance the nutritional value of the basic Salvia hispanica L. by combining the best qualities from many variations of the seed. After extensive research by Dr. Coates and his team of scientists, this goal was accomplished resulting in the world’s most beneficial and nutritious version of Salvia hispanica L. – The LifeMax Signature Grain™.

Company Profile: My Power Mall

Corporate web -

The idea for MPM came during a massive 90 mph windstorm in Bellingham, WA in November of 2006. Holed up in a restaurant until the wind died down, Ginny Dye, our Founder & CEO, sketched out a new way to utilize the $500,000 computer system she and a team of 60 dedicated people have been developing and utilizing for almost five years. Her new plan filled the back of 4 paper placemats before she was done!

When she was done writing, she stared down at the sheets of paper and realized she was looking at a way to harness the power of online spending to change the lives of average Americans looking for financial freedom. She knew that 97% of people who try to find financial freedom through a home-based business fail. MY POWER MALL would be different! There were certain “Givens.”

*
It had to be FREE so every person who wanted to change their lives would have a chance.
*
It had to be simple.
*
It had to take away all the “business games” that kept most people from succeeding in a home-based business.

Company Profile: ForeverGreen

Corporate Web -

"The creation of ForeverGreen began out of industry necessity. After a brief retirement, Ron Williams observed that the Network Marketing industry is arguably the fastest-growing industry in the world (approaching 50,000 people per day). Knowing that this industry is built upon the shoulders of everyday human beings like you and I, Mr. Williams saw an opportunity to set a standard that would change the perception from an industry of “takers” to an indiscriminate global community of “givers”. Mr. Williams believes that there is not a greater industry in the world to create change… even one person at a time.

In May 2004, ForeverGreen the company was launched! A public company. A debt-free company. An International company already doing business in more than 10 countries.

ForeverGreen is a company that stakes its future on timeless principles of health and humanity, and then trusting in its results."

Company Profile: Sunshine Empire International

Corporate Website

"WWW=World Wide Web=World Wide WEALTH"!

Indeed, the advent of the internet and the advancement in technology has brought about a new era. Times have changed...it is the internet age now.

Firstly, traditional business models are now facing the fate of being obsolete and being replaced by new generation innovations.

In the very words of Bill Gates:"Either you are in the internet business, or you'll be out of business."

Secondly, in an increasingly globalize world, factors such as capital, demand and supply, human resource talents have evolved and face more competitive challenges. Physical territorial differences are now virtually diminished, creating a new world of opportunities, but on the flip-side, unparalleled competition.

This company does not operate in North America or Europe. I was driven to explore this company due to a recent post where the author states that Sunshine Empire is NOT MLM. Odd that the corporate web site notes that it's mission to become a premier Network Marketing company. Isn't the difference between Network Marketing and MLM purely semantics?

Company Profile: Zenza Life Sciences

Here's one of the newer, quieter companies that have emerged somewhat recently. I was reminded about Zenza Life Sciences today while reading my current issue of Home Business Connection magazine. Here's a clip from the company site explaining the vision for the company.

Corporate Site

"All companies have a culture. This culture is created by its people, its products, its mission, its vision. We call this culture SPIRIT. The spirit of ZenzaTM breathes with intense passion and devotion to provide our members with a unique platform to make their dreams a reality.

Company Profile: Send Out Cards

Cool idea! Here's a snip from the corporate page...

Training Modules for the Waiora business

Another Google search and here's the Waiora Training site. It's actually pretty cool and provides some good info to get new associates started and within system. Some of the training sites I have seen have been a little lacking but there seems to be plenty of grist for anyone's mill. They even have a few merchant partners. (Not sure whether they share a discount or take the affiliate fees to cover site costs.)

Waiora Training Web Site -

"We appreciate you visiting the training site for Waiora - your Path to Success! This site is dedicated to helping Waiora Distributors be successful and get the most out of their experience as business owners with us. Whether it's exploring a new opportunity or beginning a new venture for the first time, we know that it can be a little intimidating. We want to help relieve some of that anxiety of building a business by providing the proper business training to help ensure success."

About Waiora

After my last post about Waiora, I decided to look around the company site for myself.

Most of my experience in Network Marketing has centered around nutritional products. (I know, I know - who hasn't?!) Like many, I had not heard much about Waiora so I took a quick peak around. Here's a little of the company "mission statement".


Waiora Corporate Site -

Waiora is a world-class company dedicated to helping people maintain their health as they age. Our healthy living and aging philosophy is simple — eat well-balanced meals that include multiple servings of foods high in fiber, like fruits, vegetables, and bran, exercise regularly and incorporate a nutritional regimen that addresses aging at the root of the problem, from a cellular and biological level.

Waiora's products are focused on fighting the primary causes of aging. We strive to provide solutions that help you restore and maintain your vigor, vitality and youthful appearance as you age. Our defined product strategy is to bring to market only the highest-quality, healthy aging products to address your age-related health concerns.

Waiora - Anti-aging Products

Waiora:

"Stan Cherelstein and Eddie Stone are the founders of Waiora, a network marketing company in Boca Raton, Florida. Waiora markets anti-aging products in the form of vitamin tablets, teas and skin care. In addition to the cleansing teas, detoxifying formulas and anti-aging products, Waiora also offers a line of skin care products, cellular defense products and formulas designed to improve cardio health."

Agel: Product Innovation

Agel is positioned to capitalize on the emerging nutritional product marketing named "Gelceuticals". Here's a snip from a press release that offers a thumbnail of the concept.

PRWeb -

"One of the main complaints about many over-the-counter vitamin and mineral supplements is that they simply pass through your body providing you with limited or even no nutrients at all. Suspension Gel Technology allows properly timed ingestion, correct quantities of nutritional components and high bioavailability of the nutrients.

Through Suspension Gel Technology, your daily nutrients come in gel packs that can be taken anywhere quickly and easily. Plus, they taste good. This new product category in the health and wellness industry is called Gelceuticals. Gelceuticals are reaching the health conscious as well as those on the go, finicky consumers who would never take the time or endure the "inconvenience" of proper nutrition before.

The innovative gel packs deliver proper nutrition by supplying desperately needed vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Some of the areas affected are immune system function, energy, weight loss, fatigue, athletic performance, inflammation, joint mobility and more."

Agel World '07

I was first introduced to Agel about a year ago by a blogger friend, Martin Lindeskog. Martin lives in Sweden and has been involved with Agel early in it's launch in his homeland.

Next month, Agel is holding it's major convention and have called it Agel World '07. Though I am not involved with Agel, I cannot help but be intrigued by the product concept and the amazing growth the company has enjoyed in such a short time.

Check the first sentence below. Agel is operating in 40 countries worldwide.....this in just a little more than 2 years. That gets my attention and I will be getting more information about Agel.

Agel -

"The name says it all...Agel is currently operating in more than 40 different countries worldwide. Top distributors from every region of the globe will be in attendance at AgelWorld 2007 to give and receive the very best training and education, to hear important company announcements firsthand, to celebrate together, inspire each other, and recognize success where recognition is due.

In addition to Agel's top corporate executives, some of the field leaders who will be presenting at AgelWorld 2007 include: Randy Schroeder, Randy Gage, Eric Worre, Rob and Nicky Horkings, Ann and David Feinstein's, Billy Looper, Wes Anderson, and Yair and Dori Bar Lev."
