For many people, working a standard 9 to 5 job does not provide adequate income,
or sufficient time freedom to enjoy life. If you are seeking financial independence
and more free time, then you may have to consider an alternative to employment.
The major downside of being an employee is that your income is linear (directly
linked to the number of hours you work). Many business owners benefit from a leveraged
residual income.
A leveraged income can be described by the following quote by John D. Rockefeller
(American Industrialist and Philanthropist, founder of the Standard Oil Company,
1839-1937):
“I would rather earn from 1% of 100 people's efforts
than 100% of my own efforts”
 You have leverage in your business, when you are paid on the efforts of other
people within your organisation, as well as on your own efforts. A residual income
is a reccuring stream of income from a single effort. Therefore a leveraged, residual
income is a recurring stream of income from your initial efforts and the initial
efforts of others in your organisation.
An introduction to Usana Health Sciences - A company of distinction
Usana Health Sciences is a direct selling nutrition and healthcare company and
distributes its products through Network Marketing. Independent Associates of
Usana can build their own distribution business on a part-time or full-time basis, with the potential to earn a leveraged residual
income. Many Associates build their businesses alongside other work and family
commitments and still receive the numerous benefits of having a home business.
Usana has the highest integrity and 3rd party recognition for both its products
and business opportunity. Please click on the image below to watch a short video
introducing Usana Health Sciences and a selection of the company's achievements

 Usana has experienced record growth during its 15 - year history, now operating
in 14 international markets and exceeding 200 million dollars in product sales.
This is why Usana has been ranked on both Forbes magazine's and Business Week's
annual lists of hot growth companies.
Forbes magazine was established in 1917 and is considered to be an industry leading business journal. Every year they compile a top 200 list of best small growth companies based on company size, potential for growth and stability in a volatile market. Usana ranked number 12 in 2006 and is the only direct sales company to feature in the top 20 for the previous 3 consecutive years (highest rank of 5th in 2005). Usana also climbed from number 9 in 2004 on Business Week's list of hot growth companies to number 3 in 2005. It is equally important for you to consider what the Independent Associates say about the company and the business opportunity. These are people, who like you, have decided to make changes in their lives to improve their financial situation and quality of life. Every year a Network Marketing industry magazine entitled 'Network Marketing Today' compile a list of the top 10 companies in the industry, based on the opinions of those working in the industry. This is achieved through surveys completed by Independent representatives of each company. The survey covers products, corporate support and training, available business tools, pay plan and bonuses, in addition to many other important criteria. Usana has been voted the number 1 people's choice for 9 years running (1997 to 2007):  Please click on the link below to watch a short video, which provides testimonies from a small sample of successful Usana Independent Associates (2 minutes): Why should I consider aligning myself with Usana and sharing the Usana vision?

Usana founder Dr. Myron Wentz is a world-renowned microbiologist and immunologist.
He spent the early part of his working life researching the effects of infectious
diseases on the human cell. He was the founder of a company called Gull Laboratories
in 1974, where his work focused on the development of diagnostic test kits for
infectious diseases. By 1977 a number of Dr. Wentz's diagnostic assays had FDA
approval and were ready for manufacture and distribution. Many of the test kits
personally developed by Dr. Wentz are still used today.
During the mid to late 1900s there was a dramatic shift in the leading causes
of premature deaths around the world, from infectious diseases to degenerative
diseases. The 5 leading causes of premature deaths today are all degenerative
conditions including heart disease, cancer, strokes, respiratory diseases and
diabetes.
Degenerative disease had personally affected Dr. Wentz, as his father had died
from heart disease and his mother had battled with breast cancer. Dr. Wentz also
suffered from chronic fatigue due to the stress and pressure of his work and he
became increasingly aware of the need to provide the human body with advanced
levels of nutrients in order to remain optimally healthy. Dr. Wentz founded Usana
Health Sciences in 1992 with the vision of a world free from the pain and suffering
caused by degenerative disease.
 Since 1992 Usana has developed a comprehensive system of nutritional supplements
and personal care products to provide the human body with optimal nourishment.
Dr. Wentz's extensive knowledge of the human cell has enabled the development
of products, which address the nutritional needs of the human body on a cellular
level for optimum health.
In June 2007 Dr. Wentz was presented with the Albert Einstein Award for outstanding
achievement in the Life Sciences. The award acknowledges that Dr. Wentz's vision
and commitment has contributed to the critical advancements of vital life saving
and life-enhancing technologies to benefit mankind. He received the award in recognition
for his many scientific and charitable endeavours.
Today Dr. Wentz is increasingly focused on his humanitarian work. He recently
founded the Wentz Medical Centre and Laboratory in Uganda and the Wentz Medical
Centre in Cambodia. The purpose of the centres is to serve children orphaned by
diseases such as malaria and HIV. Dr. Wentz was a recipient of the Children's
Champion Award by the Children's Hunger Fund, for which he travels worldwide as
a medical missionary.
 How are Usana's products different and what makes them preferable to many other
company's products?
Most supplements companies manufacture nutrition and personal care products to
food grade standards. Usana voluntarily manufacture all of their products to pharmaceutical
grade standards. There are a small number of companies that claim to manufacture
products to pharmaceutical standards, but even fewer who have received independent
certification.
Usana sets the standard for excellence in dietary supplement manufacture and
has received certification for adherence to pharmaceutical standard Good Manufacturing
Practices (GMPs) from NSF International.
In addition, Usana is committed to the highest standards of product design and
manufacture, which is why they guarantee the potency of every product. They track
every detail of product manufacture, from the verification of raw materials to
final testing of finished products. Therefore, you can have confidence in the
potency and overall quality of Usana Products. NSF international has also independently
verified the potency of a number of Usana's products.
 Usana's products have approval from a number of athletes and sports people around
the world. Usana recognises that trust is a major issue for athletes who participate
in competition. Taking contaminated nutritional supplements can place them at
risk of testing positive for a banned substance. Broadly publicised allegations
of contaminants in supplements led many top athletes to wonder if taking supplements
would jeopardise their future ability to qualify for competition. Usana is the
first nutritional supplements company to assume their portion of the liability
that a banned substance contamination would create. Usana offers a solution to
athletes through their Athlete Guarantee Program.
Just one example of such sports people are players from the Women's Tennis association.
As the official supplement supplier for the Sony Ericsson WTA tour, many of the
world's leading female tennis players now trust their health to Usana.
 Six of Usana's products are listed in the 2007 edition of the 'Physician's Desk
Reference' (PDR) and have been listed since 2000. The PDR is used as a reference
tool by doctors needing an accurate overview of prescription and non-prescription
pharmaceutical products. Usana's products feature in this publication due to their
adherence to US guidelines for potency and uniformity and because they are manufactured
according to pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). Please click

product ranges from a number of registered physicians (1 minute):
What are the 4 different Usana product ranges and how can one expect to benefit
from using them?
The cornerstone product of the Usana nutritional system is the Essentials. The
Usana Essentials contain advanced levels of essential vitamins and minerals that
the human body requires on a daily basis. Providing your body with optimum levels
of vitamins and minerals may boost your immune system, increase your energy levels
and reduce oxidative stress on your cells by neutralising free radicals. Free
radical damage to cells can lead to the onset of many of the degenerative conditions
discussed earlier. These are products that everyone can benefit from incorporating
into their health regime, with specific ranges for children, teenagers and adults
alike.
There are many different multivitamin and multimineral products available and quality can vary dramatically. In an independent review of over 1500 products, Usana received a top 5-star rating and a gold medal of achievement in the 'Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements' 4th Edition.

match range of products, which you should use in addition to your Usana Essentials.

The fourth and final Usana product range is the Sensé Skincare and personal care
products. This particular range focuses on cellular nutrition for the skin, utilising
the newest technologies available. All of the Sensé pharmaceutical-grade products
are thoroughly tested by dermatologists, allergists, and ophthalmologists to ensure
quality and safety. Sensé products contain powerful ingredients that are clinically
proven to nourish, revive, and refine the skin as they help defend against free
radicals and oxidative stress.
 Sensé has revolutionized the science of skin care with groundbreaking, self-preserving
technology. For years, scientists have worked to find an alternative to parabens,
the traditional preservative used in beauty and skin-care products. After nearly
ten years of research, Usana found the answer in a unique, U.S. patented blend
of botanicals, antioxidants, and active ingredients that keep every Sensé product
fresh without the need for parabens. Sensé represents the next generation of skin
and body care. Please watch the short video below for a complete Sensé product
overview (7 minutes):
