ESSENTIAL EDGE

THE

NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS

Volume 4.8 | August 2014

LIVE YOUR DREAM Founder’s Message OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY Grand Convention was truly a grand event. Mary and I were in awe as we watched the convention center fill to capacity. Almost 9,000 members were there to celebrate with us. So many friends from around the world who have been part of Young Living’s growth for these past 20 years came to share their thoughts and feelings with us. We felt very honoured to have so many of you with us for this history-making event and were thrilled to see you beaming with joy as you carried in the flag of your country. The sound of the music was electrifying as our voices filled the air singing the words, “Come and live your dream. It’s easy as it seems. Come and taste the sweet freedom right now.” Thousands of you are living your dreams and the sweet freedom that comes from having health and abundance and at the same time being part of a movement to carry this message of freedom to the world—freedom from strife and pain, freedom from lack, freedom from hopeless longing, and all that freedom means to each one of us. Our Seed to Seal® mark represents everything that Young Living is about from the seed in the ground to the bottle in your hands. No other company in the world offers such a guarantee for care, quality, and education. Only a world leader can do this. Never have I offered so many new products, but all of them are vitally important as the needs in our world become more demanding each day. We are so blessed to have essential oils in our lives and more blessed to be in God’s service as we share our knowledge with those searching and in need. We are changing lives, changing futures, and building legacies that will influence our world for good forever. With unprecedented growth, unparalleled products, and an amazing opportunity, this is truly an extraordinary time for our Young Living family. We love you with a deep sense of gratitude for your dedication and commitment and look forward with sheer joy to our future together.

The key is to know that you can have your dreams. Visualise your dreams as complete; see them as reality. Anchor your dreams and get on the path to achieving them. – D. Gary Young FEW PEOPLE IN this world are unstoppable, who if they say they’re going to do something, they do it. Young Living Founder and CEO D. Gary Young is one of those people. When he has a vision or sees something he wants to accomplish or create, he becomes unstoppable. That is all encompassing for Young Living, leading in research, formulation, and farm production for harvesting and distilling of essential oils that is becoming an unstoppable force for good throughout the world. The secret to the company’s success? It all started with a dream. During the 2014 International Grand Convention, Gary shared a painful experience from his past that would change the course of his life forever. By visualising his dreams, he made what he was told was an impossibility into a reality. A life-threatening logging accident left Gary barely alive with 19 broken bones that included crushed vertebrae in both his back and neck, broken ribs, three open skull fractures, a severed brachial plexus in three places, and a herniated spine, which left him paralysed, broken physically and emotionally, alone, and desperate with no hope.

“Sometimes you have to fall into the deepest pit before you decide to fight for life,” Gary said. “In my deepest pit, God gave me the gift of dreaming; and while dreaming, I discovered I had not lost my freedom. I could do anything. I could live any life I wanted in my mind.” Through intense perseverance, together with unrelenting determination, Gary willed himself to recover and walk again. Much of the healing—both emotionally and physically—rose out of his intense dreams. The energy of Gary’s powerful message seemed to charge the room and all those listening. He said, “So many times we live in limitation because we don’t know how to dream, but if you don’t dream it, you will never achieve it. If you don’t see it, you will never achieve it. If you don’t believe it, you will never achieve it.” “The key is to know that you can have your dreams. Visualise your dreams as complete; see them as reality. Anchor your dreams and get on the path to achieving them.” Gary’s absolute “knowing” not only brought about the miracle of walking again, but it also forged the great Young Living movement that is changing lives everywhere—the reality of a continuous dream.

At Young Living we take our stewardship of the planet and its inhabitants very seriously.

We diligently scrutinise every step of our production process to bring you the purest products earth has to offer. We call it...Seed to Seal. It’s not a slogan—it’s our calling.

The Inspired 21st-Century Leader

DARREN HARDY IS a network-marketing industry mastermind. So, when the bestselling author and publisher of Success magazine and Success From Home magazine speaks, we listen. We couldn’t have agreed more when he opened by saying, “You are by far the best-smelling group I’ve ever talked to.” During the leadership session of the International Grand Convention, Hardy presented on what it means to be a leader in the 21st century. He explained that focus should be placed on meaning and purpose, not spreadsheets and numbers. “The leader with emotional intelligence is the one who will take over in the 21st century,” he said. “Leaders will help people see themselves better than they are. Leaders will give people a bigger, grander vision of what they’re capable of.” Hardy explained that there’s been a mindset shift in leadership from the 20th to the 21st century. It used to be that leaders, formally known as bosses and managers, would just tell you what to do. Today, leaders model the behaviour to be done. They lead by example. This is especially true in network marketing.

“A 21st-century leader is empowered by helping people build their dreams, goals, and ambitions. It’s a privilege and should be taken very seriously. It’s a big responsibility. Their dreams and hopes are riding on your leadership.” -Darren Hardy “Your greatest model of influence as a leader is how you model the action. People will stop listening, but they will never stop watching,” he said. “People are always watching and asking themselves, ‘Is this the type of person I want to become?’” So how do you attract the people you want? “You have to be the shining example of the attributes you want,” Hardy explained. “When you have those attributes, people will beat down your door to be with you. It’s not about what you say; it’s about who you are and what you stand for. You are the product. You are the exemplification of the opportunity.”

JOHN MAXWELL, THE internationally renowned speaker and author responsible for selling more than 20 million books worldwide, knows a good thing when he sees it. What he saw when he looked out at the crowd of Young Living members during the International Grand Convention was 9,000 dreamers.

“I’m excited for you because you have a dream. This dream is going to bring significance and fulfillment in your life.” As it turns out, Maxwell also knows a lot about creating, pursuing, and reaching dreams. He’s been doing just that for most of his life. He also knows why 95 percent of really good people never reach their dreams: because they haven’t asked themselves the right questions. “The dream is free, but the journey isn’t,” he explained. “Dreams are exciting in the beginning because there is no price. You’re just dreaming. But the moment you take a journey, that’s where the price is exacted from you. So many times we underestimate what the dream is going to be like and what it’s going to do for us.” To become one of the 5 percent who actually achieve their dreams, Maxwell encourages you to ask yourself the following questions: 1. Is my dream really my dream? When people own something, they take responsibility for it. When you own your dream, don’t let anyone take it from you. Love it. Embrace it. Hold it. 2. Can I really see my dream? You need to see yourself achieving the dream. Put yourself in the picture and start taking the steps in your dream journey. The only way to get more clarity in your dream is by taking the journey. 3. Can my dream really be achieved? Have a sense of realism. Work on your strengths, get involved in something you’re already good at, and become great. 4. Am I passionate about this? Passion sets you above the crowd. THE KEY SUCCESS QUESTIONS 5. Do I have the strategy to get from where I am to where I’m going? The secret of success is determined by your daily agenda. The secret of success tomorrow is doing right today. Do IS MY DREAM REALLY MINE? the right thing every day. “‘Intentionality’ and ‘consistently’ are the two most important words to success,” Maxwell said. “The key is every day. If you give only 50 percent today, you can’t make it up tomorrow. What you don’t do today is lost and gone forever.”

CAN I REALLY SEE MY DREAM? CAN I ACHIEVE MY DREAM? IS MY DREAM MY PASSION? DO I HAVE THE RIGHT STRATEGY?
