New Presidents Team Member Sofia Sarka Filova

SOFIA SARKA FILOVA (Czech Republic)

Having graduated from the University of Philosophy, I was introduced to Herbalife and signed up as Distributor. During my first year in the business I qualified for Global Expansion Team, the Herbalife vacation in the Bahamas and I attended my first Extravaganza in Atlanta. In the late 90’s, I took a break from my work as my organization was very small and. This was the point I realized that there was no better opportunity for me than Herbalife. I learnt that everybody has to survive some failure in life sometimes and never to give up!

In 2003, after a break in my Herbalife career, I went to the Extravaganza in Paris where I met our new CEO Michael O. Johnson. I was very excited and I decided to start to recruit again and build my big and strong organization to last forever! One year later I was among the Top ten recruiters in Europe! I was invited to a business breakfast with Michael O. Johnson. It was at this time when I started a very important journey in Herbalife, I began to build a very solid foundation for my organization. Three years later I qualified to Millionaire Team and two years later I qualified to President’s Team.

Thanks to this wonderful opportunity, I have my business in many countries today. Now I have the best experience what you could ever imagine. After my qualification for President’s Team I was rewarded (together with 19 other new President’s Team Members from all over the world) with an unbelievable trip to L.A. We were invited to a special dinner with Michael O. Johnson. Herbalife paid everything for us including a return ticket, an exclusive stay at one of the best hotels in Beverly Hills, The Wiltshire Hotel where we stayed for four nights. We could use the best service imaginable, we visited our worldwide headquarters and last, but not least, we had an exclusive dinner with Michael O. Johnson. The whole trip was a wonderful experience.

THANK YOU HERBALIFE!

New Founders Circle Members

Please find below a very exciting message from Herbalife Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael O Johnson announcing our newest Founder's Circle Members Enrique Varela and Graciela Mier.

Enrique Varela and Graciela Mier Click here for our New Founder's Circle Members Success Story

Dear Team Herbalife,

What a fabulous way to kick off the Herbalife Decade. It's a great honor to welcome Enrique Varela and Graciela Mier to our Founder's Circle, the highest level of achievement in our company.

While Enrique and Chela have been part of Herbalife for over 20 years, they're probably best known for founding Nutrition Clubs in Zacatecas, Mexico. They wanted everyone to be able to improve their health with good nutrition, even if they could not afford a month's supply of product. While the roots of daily consumption and having a shake everyday have always been a part of this company, this method has blossomed and flourished - what a tremendous validation for the concept of globalizing our Distributors' ideas.

Now we have a Founder's Circle check out of Zacatecas. Incredible. This illustrates the success that's possible by more deeply penetrating every community.

Enrique and Chela are role models of everything that makes this company great-belief in our products, concern for others, hard work and supporting those less fortunate in their community.

We look forward to celebrating this extraordinary achievement at our Summit this March in Orlando.

Yours in the best of health,

Michael

I am really excited about the discovery of myfitnesspal.

I stumbled across the site while looking for a calorie counter and have found so much more than I was looking for, and for free!

This is the first time in my life that I have kept an accurate food diary and am amazed at the results this far, I intend to keep up this momentum until I reach my current goal of 70kg.

I have lost more that 25kg since my highest recorded weight of 103kg about 3 years ago and had maintained a healthy weight of 75kg for the last 2 years, however slipped up to 86kg over the last 3 months before this current new regime. I am confident that this is a major new tool to be used in conjunction with the best weight loss products in the world that Herbalife provides for us.

I am a full time Independent Herbalife Distributor / Weight Loss Coach and have recommended the site to a number of my clients, fantastic that we can use this as a social network and monitor each others progress, 2010 is the beginning of the most exciting decade and innovations like this will go a long way to addressing the obesity crisis we are facing.

Keep you posted.

Herbalife's Tips to Eat Right, Sleep Tight

LOS ANGELES, Jan 28, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Getting a good night's sleep should be one of the easiest and most natural things to do. But busy lives and hectic schedules make us less apt to eat properly, and bad food habits can prevent us from developing good sleep hygiene.

When we're busy, we tend to eat less than we should during the day, and then much more than necessary in the evening, which is exactly the opposite of what we should be doing," says Herbalife's Luigi Gratton, M.D., and vice president of medical affairs.

Gratton suggests being aware of how certain foods can affect our sleep pattern. Protein-heavy foods stimulate the production of chemicals in the brain that keep us alert, and large meals eaten just before bed can lead to indigestion and heartburn - a perfect pairing to keep you up at night.

Low-fat, high carbohydrate meals are digested more quickly, and stimulate the production of different brain chemicals - ones that help aid relaxation and facilitate sleep. So it's best to opt for a high protein breakfast and lunch to keep you alert and clear-headed all day, and save the carbohydrates for dinner.

If you're like most people, caffeine is a stimulant, so a cup of java before you hit the sack is probably unwise. Both caffeine and alcohol can disrupt normal sleep patterns; you might be able to fall asleep, but not for long. This makes it hard to reach the deepest - and most restful - stage of sleep, so that even with a full eight hours, you still feel sluggish in the morning. Chances are you'll also be roused from sleep by a full bladder, since both caffeine and alcohol act as diuretics.

Whether to snack or not before you go to bed depends on your usual patterns. If your evening meal is small and light (and early), then a light snack is fine if you feel it helps you sleep and you can afford the calories. Calcium-rich foods like milk and yogurt are good choices, since calcium helps muscles to relax.

New Year 2010

New Year 2010, ahhh.

I welcomed the New Year in Monaco this year and will be updating the dream board with the pictures, I love boating and was overwhelmed in Monaco.

I have decided to publish more personal content on this blog in 2010. The reason for this is predominately because I believe that this will help to make me more accountable for my time. I struggle with procrastination and believe that one way to manage my time more effectively will be to introduce some transparency by publicly updating my progress building my business on a regular basis. So stand by, I myself cannot tell you what to expect, it really doesn’t matter if anyone reads these postings. I am a very private personality and envisage that this project could begin to change this! So let the games begin! 2010 is going to be the year of dreams and I am committed to allocating time to setting tangible goals, and sharing these in this forum.

2010 is the year for massive change, change of everything, as the late Jim Rohn said “for things to change, you have to change”. I have changed more in the last 2 years of my life than any period before and am ready to accelerate this change dramatically.

More to follow, I am looking forward to this.
