LEADERSHIP
BOUNDARIES.
Just a few months ago, in March to be more exact, our ambitious idea finally crystallized into a publication very similar to the one you are holding in your hands right now. It was during the great Bogotå event when the Ambassador of OneLife Latin America Jose Gordo formally introduced us to the attendees. That edition, specially focused on the leaders of Latin America, was a complete success, and we could witness how the enthusiasm grew around the stalls where we offered the magazine. Networkers would leaf through the magazine with curiosity to find out more about that leader who perhaps inspired them to change their lives. Newcomers to the business could find themselves reflected in the stories of improvement and success of people who have already made their dreams a reality. And great leaders got excited seeing their stories captured in those pages. In our first issue, we explained our reasons and our motivation: we want to know as many success stories as this great global OneLife project has created, we want to turn those stories into a beacon of inspiration for many networkers around the world. With those stories, we also want to show the truth of success: it is not easy, but it is totally possible if you follow the advice of those who have already overcome all the challenges. We want you to be able to learn from those experiences, but at the same time, give a deserved recognition to the hard work that the leaders that appear in the magazine have done. And we were very pleased to see that our edition for Latin America was fulfilling its purpose on the day of our presentation to the public and from then on. This is our first international edition, with stories of leadership from different parts of the world, in printed format. There is, therefore, a limited number of printed copies of our second edition. And our intention is to create another special edition with a new theme in the coming months. But while these pages are being printed, we are already working to offer you a digital version with regular updates containing more stories and, above all, tools, advice, tips and tricks, as well as the news about the company’s projects and much more. Our greatest ambition is to add value and to be useful. We take this opportunity to thank all the leaders who have collaborated with us, who have understood the initiative and its importance, and have decided to be part of it. Without you, our dream would have been just an idea. As the slogan of the company says: Together for more

DR. RUJA IGNATOVA
A MORE PERSONAL
INTERVIEW Taking advantage of her first visit to Mexico, we wanted to know more about the founder of the OneCoin cryptocurrency and her vision for the company. The leader of OneLife, Mariana López de Waard will ask Dr. Ruja both professional and personal questions in an interview that will let us see a more human side of this amazing business woman. MLW: Good afternoon. My name is Mariana López de Waard. We are here in Mexico, and I’m very pleased and honoured, it’s a real privilege for me to be here together with the CEO and the founder Dr. Ruja Ignotova. I’m very grateful that you have found the time to be here with us and thank you very much for your availability. RI: Thank you for your invitation, this is my first time here in Mexico and I’m very excited to be here. I like the city, I really like the country very much, and you all know that for OneCoin, Latin America is a very strategic market, because we believe that many of our users are here, in Latin America. And very soon, we will open an office in Mexico. So I look forward to this event here and meeting as many leaders as I can, so thank you for taking your time and doing this interview with me. MLW: Thank you, the pleasure is all mine. We know that you are a very confident personality, very close to people, mostly, other cryptocurrency owners, but nobody knows who they are. And you, from day one, you are there, you are approachable, and we can see you at events, at meetings, and you even took you time to be with us in the office in Sofia. The purpose of this interview is to get to know a bit more about Dr. Ruja Ignotova. We would like to know a little more about the face and the heart of OneCoin, the cryptocurrency that is revolutionizing the world. RI: I do not think I’m that interesting, but let’s see what you want to know, okay, come on. MLW: Why did you choose to be a public figure instead of hiding, like other businessmen, for example, the Bitcoin founder?
RI: I think the reason I chose to go this way is because OneCoin is different from Bitcoin. I always say that we are very grateful to Bitcoin for being the pioneer in this industry, and really, for having invented the blockchain, for having invented this concept. But when I started to think about the cryptocurrency, I wanted to create a cryptocurrency for the mass market, for everybody. And I believe that if we create something good, something big, you don’t have to feel ashamed or have to hide. We are very proud of our work, and when I say “we”, I mean the whole team and, I believe, all the 3,3 million people who are with us. So, how would I expect other people to go out and talk about OneCoin, if I hid myself and didn’t talk about it? I’m very proud of what we have created. And I still feel very pleasantly surprised by the success we are having, and I believe it was the right time for the right idea. OneCoin is known to be a transparent, approachable and trustworthy cryptocurrency. I don’t think we would have gotten that far, if the currency had no face, if people couldn’t ask questions, if they didn’t know who we are. MLW: I agree. Brexit followed by the fall in the value of the pound, which is a clear example of how fragile our financial system is. Where do you think this current financial system is going to? RI: We need a financial system and we need traditional banks. Traditional banks will never go out of business, but of course, countries always go through crises. For example, I’m from Eastern Europe and I remember how we went through a huge inflation. We have countries where the governments are not stable. Countries that have passed through different types of crises. And I don’t
JOSE GORDO
OVERCOME YOUR FEARS
AND FEED
YOUR FAITH THE AMBASSADOR OF ONELIFE IN LATIN AMERICA AND BACK DIAMOND.
Jose Gordo is a shrewd man for his military training based on a strict discipline. Which is why he achieved a successful career. Military discipline is responsible for the mental transformation of a human being, for their unique mindset and winning attitude. So Jose Gordo is currently the leader of leaders: the OneLife Ambassador in Latin America, which is a role that involves abysmal responsibility. Whoever takes it on does that when they are sure of victory, like a true military man would be.

For a true soldier, the real battle unfolds inside their mind. If they desire a new life, a new mind is needed, as well as hard work day and night, tirelessly, with no excuses and leavingbehind past habits. A soldier firmly accepts the sweat of his sacrifice, fighting, planning, overcoming fear and pursuing their dreams at all costs. A soldier uses all their capacity, as well as total conviction to persevere in the face of any adversity. This way, no extreme or difficult circumstance will affect their focus. A soldier doesn’t use their weapons in vain and doesn’t pay attention to what other people say, because what really matters is the conviction and faith in the mind. The real threat is in what you say and believe about your abilities.
SUCCESS IS REPETITION
AND EMOTIONAL
INVOLVEMENT
STAFFAN LIBACK We can say that Staffan Liback was a true visionary and a pioneer, since he joined OneCoin from the very beginning, when the project had just been conceived. Staffan was one of the first people who contributed to the explosion of leadership throughout the world. The OneLife Network, as we know it today, exists because that day, Staffan decided that it was the best way to create something great. And so he did: Liback and the Steinkeller brothers were, together, the founders of the most extensive team in the network marketing industry: OneDreamTeam. More than 20 years ago, Staffan Liback started to study a career that would challenge him and force him to become a better person. A lot has changed in his life since then, especially, since he discovered network marketing. But the essence of what led Staffan to make that decision is still very much alive in him. From these two decades of involvement and commitment, Staffan has gained a very rich experience and a deep understanding of the business and the industry, which has made him one of the most outstanding networkers, mentors and coaches in personal development of this decade. For many of us, Staffan is the kind of upline that we aspire to become. And in order to have success and, especially, the wisdom that this leader has achieved, it is essential to understand his vision of the industry, the company and even of our own thoughts. OLM IMA: You were one of the first to believe in this project, in those days when everything was a vision for the future. Tell us two fundamental things that made you decide to develop this long-term project.

SL: When I first heard about it, I had absolutely no idea what it was. I knew something about Bitcoin, which was a digital coin, and I had an opportunity to buy come Bitcoins then, but I didn’t react to it. When I heard about the opportunity of OneCoin, I was busy with other projects and I didn’t understand what it was all about, how the value could be created and other things. Because of that, I wasn’t too interested, but I remember very well that one of my good friends explained me something about a split, and he told me that he had made some amount of money, so I started listening. I realized that I had been looking for an opportunity like this. From that moment on, I started investigation about what digital currencies were, what OneCoin was. I got interested, but interest is not enough. What made me actually take the decision were the founders behind it who explained the strategy to me about creating usability, about the possibility of sending and receiving money worldwide, faster, cheaper, more secure. I realized that it was the future, and I wanted to be part of that future. I also understood that combining this product with network marketing was the way to go. This is really the way to reach huge amounts of people around the globe and give them the opportunity to learn about cryptocurrency, financial tools and trading. I wanted to take this opportunity to people and also benefit my leaders and myself. I had leaders who needed to make money, and this was a huge opportunity for them. Looking back, four years later, it was the right choice. And now, I really look forward to seeing what else is going to happen, I want to be involved and also contribute to what is going to happen in October, when the launch of the coin on the public market. Let’s work and see what will happen, but also make our own future and not let other people make it for us.

The word “problem” comes from Latin and means “before solution”. And I learned to see problems and obstacles as “before solutions”.

DEALSHAKER EXPO ZAGREB 2018
WE CELEBRATE THE FIRST
ANNIVERSARY OF THE PLATFORM IN CROATIA We had been waiting for months. It had been talked about a lot at events and it was a dream for many. An online shopping and sales platform where you could pay with our currency, OneCoin. And one day in February, the dream came true. It was officially announced during the month of January, and, although it had not yet opened its doors, merchants began to register their businesses and publish their offers on the platform so that, when their activity officially began, all users could buy the coupons straightaway. And so it was. On February 16, 2017, DealShaker was opened to the public, showing its offers with a minimum of 50% of the prices in OneCoins.
The next great OneLife revolution had begun. On Friday, February 16, coinciding with the first anniversary of the platform, hundreds of merchants from various European countries gathered at the City Plaza Centre in Zagreb, Croatia, to present their offers. It is not the first merchant expo of DealShaker, but Zagreb is one of the pioneer cities in the organization of these events. And we can say that it is a very special exhibition to be held on this important date. The enthusiasts of the sales platform didn’t want to miss this celebration, so several thousand of participants arrived from very different places of the globe, near or far, walked through the stalls and shopped live. During the event, products of all kinds were exhibited: footwear, cosmetics, accessories, pastry, wines, cheese, health products, travel packages, art... Anything that can be marketed was present in the stalls on the site. But there was one product that stood out and shone especially in this edition: high-end cars. We had already been seeing on the platform fascinating offers of automobiles that can be paid, partly or fully, in OneCoins. But it was quite an attraction for visitors to see those cars live and to observe their characteristics, their perfect condition, and to be able to imagine themselves at the wheel of one of those exemplars.

Besides being able to visit the stalls, to touch the product and even to taste the flavours from various regions of Europe, there was time for other activities. Presentations, shows and workshops. Those who had a VIP pass, in addition, could enjoy a high quality training session with none other than Frank Ricketts. And on Sunday, the icing on the cake was the Mastermind Event, where we continued to celebrate the achievements of a whole year of creating value for the currency, where the attendees learned how to get more out of the platform and understood the outreach it was having. The event featured local, European and international leaders: Mihail Petrovic, Kenny Nordlund, DealShaker expert Cristi Calina, Black Diamonds from the United Kingdom, Dr. Parwiz Daud and Mansour Tawafi, Gordon Stenhuijs, and Global Network Consultant Frank Ricketts. These were just some of the prominent speakers. It is important to mention that DealShaker not only gives visibility to thousands of merchants and provides the exposure for their products, helping create new jobs in many businesses registered, but also, events like this make a significant impact on sales, help stores, create value for the currency and inform curious visitors about the ease of buying using cryptocurrency: by simply clicking on the screen of your phone.
MINI DEALSHAKER EXPO IN SAIGON Recently, Saigon surprised us all with an express fair at which more than thirty exhibitors and more than a thousand members and visitors took part, buying and selling products of all kinds. During a single, but intense and very well-used shopping day, the Mini DealShaker Expo in Saigon was a beehive of enthusiasts of local crafts, food and health products, cosmetics, electronics, luxury goods... and there was even space for art and fashion! The Expo was part of the Super Sunday event, which also featured workshops for associates. A whole Sunday of economic and personal growth for Vietnam!
