Court Order To Take Control Of Banners Broker Issued

$

0
David Hooker,COO, Banners Broker

The website of suspected pyramid scheme Banners Broker was down yesterday as investigators received a court order to go after assets linked to the firm in Canada.
Around 12,000 Irish people invested in the scheme and collectively handed over millions of euro.
The company, which claimed it could make people rich though online advertising, suffered a major blow earlier this year after liquidators were appointed to Banners Broker International Ltd (BBIL), which was based in the Isle of Man.
This week the liquidators obtained a court order to take control of anything owned by BBIL and to compel its Canadian based operators to reveal the whereabouts of the company’s assets. 
Court papers reveal the growth of the company, how it moved its assets and the efforts by investors to recover their funds. 
Affidavits filed with the court said: “An online cloud-based business, BBIL’s operations were international in scope and  its physical presence in any one jurisdiction was negligible.”
Irish people were among the first to be duped by the scam. Banners Broker Ireland Ltd was set up in December 2011. 
Under an agreement the Irish operation was entitled to 5 per cent of all sales in Ireland and 7 per cent if it hit a turnover of more than $100,000 a month. The rest went to BBIL.  
The majority of Irish people who lost money in the scheme may never get any of it back.

Brian Gill,EVP,Younique

Younique, a cosmetics direct sales company dedicated to motivating and empowering women, announced today the addition of Brian Gill as the company's new Executive Vice President of Marketing.
Gill leads the marketing team responsible for brand positioning, corporate and marketing communications, public relations and digital marketing. Younique Cofounder Melanie Huscroft previously functioned in this role, as well as product development and sales. The addition of Gill enables Huscroft to focus her passion and expertise on these other key roles. As a result, Huscroft is now Chief Product Officer and Chief Sales Officer, in addition to her role as Cofounder.
"I've known Brian personally and professionally for a number of years now," said Huscroft. "His industry knowledge and marketing experience more than qualifies him to lead our marketing efforts. I can speak to his character and creativity, and have full confidence in his abilities."  
Gill joins the Younique family with more than 14 years' direct selling and marketing experience. Having previously worked as a distributor for two direct selling companies and then on the corporate marketing side for five direct selling companies, Gill understands the business and is keenly interested in providing the content, tools and resources that contribute to a Customer's and Presenter's success.
"The success and fulfillment of Younique's Customers and Presenters is what I consider to be my top priority," said Gill.
Having spent much of his career at nutrition-focused companies like Nature's Sunshine, Gill has a great appreciation for the importance of one's inner health. However, he is no stranger to the cosmetics and skin care industries thanks to his time working in the marketing and training departments at Nu Skin.
In a statement directed to the entire Younique family—comprising Customers, Hostesses and Presenters—Gill stated: "I'll be working closely with many of you and the other members of the Younique corporate team to make sure we provide you with what you need to be successful and beautiful—however you choose to define that for yourself. After all, you are Younique, and that's what we love about you!"
Prior to joining Younique, Gill was vice president of marketing communications at MonaVie, where he was responsible for global marketing communication, content marketing, public relations and social media. He received his B.A. in International Relations (Japanese minor) from Brigham Young University, an M.A. in English from Utah State University and a professional certification in Integrated Marketing Communication from the University of Utah. 
About Younique
Younique Products is the first direct sales company to market and sell almost exclusively through the use of social media. Since its inception in September 2012, Younique has earned increasing recognition for its bestselling product the original Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes. The company's product philosophy of Nature. Love. Science. ensures that its line of cosmetics and skin care products are always found at the intersection of the best that science and nature has to offer. Founded by a brother-sister team—Derek Maxfield and Melanie Huscroft—Younique's mission is to Uplift, Empower and Validate women.

Reuters Reports On Herbalife, Says Ackman’s Attacks Fails To Resonate In Nutrition Clubs

Michael Johnson, CEO, HErbalife

The following article reported by Reuters recently shares the Ackman vs Herbalife fiasco in a rather objective manner. Ultimately, his claims aren't resonating with Herbalife members or nutritional club owners. 
New York hedge fund manager William Ackman says Herbalife is a pyramid scheme that exploits the poor. He has taken a $1 billion bet against the company’s stock and spent millions on research to attack the nutritional supplements seller, including making a video showing former distributors who claim they were deceived and lost money trying to sell its products.
Yet a visit to some of  the clubs that have been set up to dispense the company’s shakes, teas and other items, largely to the Hispanic community in the U.S., shows that it has fans. These are consumers who stress their health has improved and distributors who are thankful to have the opportunity to run their own businesses.
In conversations at 10 such clubs that Reuters reporters visited in recent weeks in the Los Angeles area, New York and Newark, New Jersey, more than 20 people said they had lost a substantial amount of weight while consuming Herbalife products. These claims could not be verified by Reuters but if true the comments cast a favorable light on Herbalife’s products, especially as Hispanics suffer from higher rates of obesity than the overall U.S. population.
While some of the people running the clubs were struggling to make ends meet, most were optimistic about being distributors of the products. In particular, women with children said they were pleased with flexible hours and the opportunity to bring their kids to work when necessary. 
Two customers sipping shakes in a club in Boyle Heights on the east side of Los Angeles, Silvia Lopez and Ana Montenegro, were typical of those who swear by the products.
"When I met her, her stomach was up to here," Lopez said, holding a hand over Montenegro's belly. "And I said, 'Let's go. We can do it.'"
"She lost 30 pounds!" Lopez said.
"Forty," Montenegro corrected her. Both said they have no interest in selling Herbalife products, just consuming them.
Ruth Lozano, 41, who also runs a club in Boyle Heights, claims that she dropped eight sizes through use of Herbalife products and her cholesterol levels dropped.
And Angel Perez, a 29-year-old daughter of Mexican immigrants, says she makes a “decent, honest living” selling Herbalife products, earning about $3,000 to $4,000 per month. Her club in Inglewood, just west of  Los Angeles, encourages  a friendly, cafe-like environment, with monthly weight-loss challenges.
She resents the attacks from Ackman. "I am not a poor, dumb, Hispanic person, and I am not trying to take advantage of people," she said. "I find that insulting. I'm trying to help our community."
SATURATION WARNING
Herbalife recommends that those seeking to lose weight replace two of their three meals each day with shakes, which are made with a powder that contains protein and vitamins that is then mixed with soy or nonfat milk and some other ingredients depending on the flavor desired.
Some doctors allied with Herbalife back the company’s diet claims. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, though, has not evaluated those claims.
Ackman’s main line of attack has not been about the quality of the products and whether they work in controlling weight or improving health. Instead, he has argued that the whole Herbalife system is a pyramid scheme that won’t survive – that it is based on recruiting new distributors to pay existing distributors (their incomes are based on their own sales and on the sales of those they recruit) and that the market will get saturated as more clubs are established often very near existing ones. 
His team has produced a video in which a series of former Herbalife distributors say they spent thousands of dollars on Herbalife products and training but ended up with losses and products they couldn’t sell.  "These are pretend businesses," said David Klafter, senior counsel at Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management. The hedge fund estimates that sellers on average lose about $12,000 per year once rent for the clubs is taken into account.
Partly as a result of lobbying by Ackman, there are a series of federal and state investigations into whether Herbalife is a pyramid scheme and related questions. It is unclear what the precise details of those probes are, and it is not clear whether they will lead to any action against Herbalife and how serious any such action could be.
Herbalife and its supporters argue that it is a legitimate multi-level marketing company that has been growing now for 34 years, sells products that are in demand, and helps many of its 3.7 million distributors worldwide to make a living. “The overwhelming majority of our consumers and members have been satisfied with their Herbalife experiences,” a company spokesman said.

SOME COMPLAINTS
On the visits to the clubs in the U.S. there were a minority of distributors who were skeptical about the business they had gotten into.
One distributor in South Los Angeles says she spends about $1,200 a month on Herbalife products but only earns enough to help pay the rent at her exercise studio.
An 18-year-old Guatemalan-born mother who would only give her name as Mary currently works up to half a day for no pay at a club in Newark, though she does get free shakes. She has also paid a $110 registration fee to become a member and is taking classes to learn more about the product as she wants to become a distributor. 
Some of the distributors interviewed said they made a good living.  
One 27-year-old, who only gave his name as Alex, pulled out a wad of cash in one club in the Bronx to illustrate how well he claimed to be doing.
The clubs vary from relatively sophisticated exercise studios that sell and distribute Herbalife products to very basic rooms with just a dozen chairs in a circle to encourage customers to relax and socialize, sometimes watching Spanish-language soap operas while looking after their kids.  
John Hempton, an Australian hedge fund manager, who says he owns the stock and has visited Herbalife clubs in Australia and the U.S., sees the clubs creating a sense of community. “The product is real, and it fulfills a fairly real human need. It is a support group for weight loss,” he recently told Reuters.
Still, some distributors warn it clearly isn’t an occupation for everyone. Delmy Ruiz says she makes a couple of thousand dollars a month selling Herbalife out of a club in Canoga Park in the San Fernando Valley but the 64-year-old’s attempt to get her son to do the same failed. “He did what I did step by step, but he didn’t make it,” said Ruiz, adding that his heart wasn’t in it. “You don’t work, you don’t get paid.”

Talk Fusion Associates Minh & Julie Ho Hit $8 Million

Talk Fusion, Minh & Julio Ho

Only five months after the announcement that they had earned $7 million dollars in their four years at Talk Fusion, Presidential Blue Diamonds Minh and Julie Ho have broken another record: topping $8 million in total earnings.
It’s been a whirlwind year for Talk Fusion’s biggest earners. In the few short months since May, Minh and Julie have spent three weeks on a 13 city Talk Fusion road trip, another 5 days in Maui as part of Talk Fusion’s Dream Getaway, travelled to Russia for their spectacular You Can! Event, were the Special Guests for two weeks of Business Opportunity events in Japan, and just finished a powerful, successful weekend at the huge HERO Event in Indonesia.  
Capping the busy year with their new milestone of $8 million in earnings just highlights how far Minh and Julie have come. As explained in their amazing full story, the power couple rebounded from financial tragedy to financial freedom by sharing Talk Fusion.
Near bankruptcy and eviction from their one bedroom apartment, Minh and Julie faced a terrible uncertainty; not only for their own future, but for that of their seven children and four grandchildren as well.
“I just cried and cried,” says Julie. “We always had money and had never been in that position before. It was just awful.”
Familiar with Talk Fusion’s increasingly popular Business Opportunity and desperately needing an immediate source of income, Minh and Julie enrolled with the company as Independent Associates. They quickly committed to Talk Fusion’s simple system of success.
That was just the start of Minh and Julie’s incredible journey. Along the way, they have empowered countless other individuals to overcome their financial difficulties and achieve their dreams of time and financial freedom.
“We encountered so many people who had just gone through what we went through – or worse,” said Minh. “It felt so good to show these people that there is another way to build a steady financial future outside the traditional job market.”
Within their first two years, with a successful team expanding globally, Minh and Julie officially became Talk Fusion’s first-ever millionaire Associates.
“Wow! We were so excited that we could work hard and earn that kind of money in Relationship Marketing in such a very short time,” Julie says. “When Minh found out, we hugged each other… and then went back to work to earn our next million.”
That “next million” would eventually become over seven million, with no end in sight. Every day is a new adventure for Minh and Julie as they travel the globe and share their inspirational story. It’s a lifestyle they never would’ve imagined before Talk Fusion, but it’s one that’s now very real thanks to Talk Fusion’s life-changing opportunity.
“It's amazing to us that in less than 3 years we have accomplished what has taken some Leaders in this Industry 15 to 20 years to accomplish,” says Julie. “Talk Fusion really does change people's lives — all over the world!”

Ryan Blair,Visalus,CEO

Thousands of Vi Promoters and Customers from all over the world will come together at Vitality 2014 on September 12-13 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas for an unforgettable celebration of Life, Health and Prosperity.
During this annual event, ViSalus will officially launch four new wholesome and nutritious Vi product options that will provide consumers with a fast and convenient way to recharge their bodies while pursuing their weight-loss and fitness goals.
Additionally, the ViSalus Founders, who recently reinforced their commitment to the company by going "all-in" through a management buyout, will share their excitement and vision for the future of ViSalus.
One of the biggest launches at the event will be the unveiling of four original items in a new product category for the company.
ViSalus Co-Founder and CMO Blake Mallen will explain the marketing, tools and social campaign supporting the new items, which are designed to completely change how people eat and make goal-setting tastier and more convenient.
"These products will help individuals on The Challenge 'lose it' or 'build it' with options that make healthy eating part of their everyday lifestyle, rather than a diet," said Mallen.
Pre-launch excitement has already been gaining momentum via clues provided as part of Vi's #whatsinthebox social campaign. Followers on ViSalus' Instagram are tracking the clues as they are revealed and guessing 'what's in the box' that will be opened at Vitality.  
"We have never been more pumped for Vitality than we are this year, especially after recently going 'all in' by leading ViSalus' management buyout to position the company for long-term growth," said Ryan Blair, ViSalus Co-Founder and CEO.
"This year's celebration will not only showcase all the successes from our outstanding team of Promoters, but will reveal revolutionary products, adding much more flavor and variety to our healthy living mission. The event is almost here and we can practically taste it."
Renowned leadership expert, speaker and best-selling author John C. Maxwell will address the entire Vi community providing indispensible insight on how to tap into their inner leadership potential and teach Promoters specific skills they can use to not only raise their own leadership lid but also duplicate that success with their teams.
Attendees can also participate in the ultimate product training, which will feature the new products launched at the event, from Dr. Michael Seidman of the Vi Scientific Advisory Board and Vi's Senior VP, Research & Development Dr. Silvia Uribe.
In addition to the launch, attendees will celebrate this year's success stories andChallenge victories. The reigning Regional Champions will take the stage, and Vi will crown the new Challenge Champions and Vi Models. The event will also recognize the company's top Promoters, including new Ambassadors and Vi Millionaires. With much to celebrate, Vitality will conclude with a Saturday Night Party — a Western Hoedown where attendees can embrace the Vi spirit and strong community culture.
"Vitality is not only a fun celebration but, more importantly, it is a time to reflect on our accomplishments and the impact we are making on the world… 10 lbs. at a time," said Blair. "Our celebration can be seen every day in people living healthier and happier lives."

Trevo Founders, Mark Stevens, Holli & Alexandria Stevens

As Trévo President and CEO, Mark Stevens, traveled to Nigeria last month he did much more than present the first ever “Create Your Explosive Team” training. Trévo donated one million Nigerian Naira, about $6,200 USD, to the SOS Children in Nigeria charity. SOS Children is a global charity that has been supporting children, families and their communities to flourish for over 60 years.
Despite Nigeria being oil-rich, hundreds of thousands live in crippling poverty. Crime and HIV/AIDS are on the increase. SOS Children in Nigeria helps vulnerable children stay with their families and where necessary, give them a loving home in one of their SOS Children’s Villages.
Around 15 million children are engaged in child labor, many in very dangerous conditions in Nigeria. Some children work in hazardous industries where they are potentially exposed to toxic fumes and dangerous machinery. About 360,000 children live with HIV/AIDS and this disease is a major cause of the increasing poverty in the country. The child mortality rate stands at 138 per 1,000 live births and around 30 percent of children under the age of five are underweight.
SOS Children is in 133 countries where they have provided long-term care for almost 62,000 children in 547 SOS Children’s Villages. The charity, along with the Trévo family, believes every child should belong to a family and grow up with love, respect and security.
Trévo’s donation will go towards giving orphaned and abandoned children a loving home, providing quality education and healthcare for the whole community and supporting families during emergencies.

Youngevity, CEO, Steve Wallach

Youngevity International, Inc., a global direct marketer of nutritional and lifestyle products and also a vertically-integrated producer of gourmet coffees for the commercial, retail and direct sales channels, announced today that it has made an investment of $1.1 million to improve its company-owned 59,000 square foot corporate headquarters located in Chula Vista, California.
The improvements to the Youngevity headquarters include a complete reconfiguration of the distribution center layout, which doubles the amount of pallet storage locations and shipping lanes to maximize efficiency and productivity. The increased storage capacity in the distribution center was attributed to the purchase of two technologically advanced Raymond forklifts that optimize warehouse throughput. Also, the warehouse was updated with new energy-efficient lighting and insulation, additional circulation fans were installed to increase employee comfort, and the shipping and purchasing department offices were expanded.
Youngevity has improved the appearance of its headquarters with a new water-efficient landscape to receive outdoor water conservation rebates from the City of San Diego. The entrance lobby also was remodeled to be more inviting and enhanced with a new coffee/beverage bar.
In addition, the Youngevity customer service department and will-call center were expanded to accommodate double the amount of staff to handle higher customer traffic volumes and maintain high service levels. Also, a new state of the art research lab was built to facilitate our product development and additional testing equipment purchased for the Company’s expanding product lines.
“We expect this strategic investment to optimize our operations and we are well positioned to meet future business needs for our growing Company,” said Steve Wallach, CEO of Youngevity. “UPS helped design our updated warehouse space to improve the workflow and to maximize efficiency and productivity. We have increased our warehouse storage and throughput capacity by 100% to meet higher customer and global shipment product demands.”
“The improvements to our existing facility have enhanced our warehouse logistic capabilities and will enable us to support our US and international growth,” said Dave Briskie, CFO of Youngevity. “With top-line revenue maintaining a 50% growth rate and with the company eclipsing its first million dollar day it is critical that our distribution systems keep pace with our expected revenue growth.”

Avon CFO Resigns

Sheri McCoy, Avon, CEO

The Wall Street Journal reported early yesterday morning that Avon CFO, Kimberly Ross, has resigned. 
Avon Products Inc. announced Monday that Chief Financial Officer Kimberly Ross is resigning from the embattled beauty-products company, effective early next month, to become CFO at oil-field services company Baker Hughes Inc.
Martin Craighead, Baker Hughes chairman and chief executive, stated that Ms. Ross's "extensive record of accomplishments spans several industries and is a testament to her effective partnering with operational leaders in various geographies and business environments."
She begins her new role at Baker Hughes effective Oct. 22.
Avon appointed Avon's corporate controller, Robert Loughran, to serve as acting CFO as the door-to-door seller of makeup and consumer products searches for a permanent successor. Mr. Loughran is a 10-year Avon veteran and was appointed vice president and controller in 2012.
Avon Chief Executive Sheri McCoy said Ms. Ross "has been a strong leader for Avon over the past three years. I appreciate her partnership as we've worked together on Avon's turnaround journey. We wish her all the best in her new role."
Ms. Ross stated that she is proud of the work accomplished by the Avon team. She also stated that she thinks Avon "is laying the right foundation for the future, and I look forward to working with Bob and Sheri during this transition."
During July, Avon reported another quarter of lackluster sales and lower profits, but executives pointed to signs of a sales turnaround in a key market as evidence it can pull out of a yearslong slump.
The company has faced deep investor dissatisfaction in recent years as it failed to turn around a string of poor results and faced a federal probe into allegations of bribery of officials overseas.
Avon earlier this year reached an agreement with U.S. federal regulators to settle a long-running bribery probe into its conduct in China, a move that required the company to pay $135 million in fines and other costs.

Zeek Rewards Receiver May Spread To Canada

The receiver of defunct ZeekRewards.com is going international in his quest to retrieve “net winnings” from participants in the Ponzi scheme, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Kenneth Bell said in a legal filing Thursday he is requesting permission to pursue at least 23 Canadian residents who received a combined $2.91 million. The range of net winnings was $50,863 to $376,808 among the listed participants.
Bell defines net winners are those who had a net gain of at least $1,000 from the scheme.
In August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused Rex Venture Group LLC, Zeekler andZeekRewards.com, all of Lexington, and Paul Burks, their principal owner, of raising $850 million through unregistered securities. The companies were shut down and their assets frozen.
The companies raised the money from at least 2.2 million customers, including more than 230,000 in the United States and 47,000 in North Carolina. Bell said net winners received more than $283 million combined.
The filing comes about five weeks after Bell made good on his promise to identify U.S. net winners. He listed about 9,400 individuals in a 217-page legal filing available at www.zeekrewardsreceivership.com. The list contained 15 individuals from Forsyth County, 105 from the Triad and Northwest North Carolina, and 390 statewide.
He said those net winners received combined more than $283 million.
As far as pursuing net winnings from other international participants, Bell said he “is evaluating the most efficient means of pursuing these individuals that will generate the greatest possible return for the receivership estate.”
Bell had recovered $336.3 million in assets as of June 30, the latest available total. He has $324.1 million in available assets after paying administrative and other costs.
Bell expects to begin Sept. 30 the first round of distributions to victims of the scheme. He has said he would pay an amount “equal to 40 percent of each reconciled claim using the rising-tide method of calculation already approved by the court.”
A rising-tide distribution is used by courts as a method to pay recovered assets to defrauded investors. The method serves to distribute money in a way that leaves as many investors as possible with the same percentage recovery of their total investment. Victims are being notified by email about the status of their claims.
Bell has obtained $3.98 million of a disputed $13 million from financial institution NxPay, as well as $1 million of a dispute $5.8 million from Preferred Merchants.

Michael Johnson, CEO, HErbalife

Herbalife HLF,  a leading global nutrition company, announced a long-term partnership with national non-profit organization, Common Threads, to sponsor nutrition programs in elementary and middle schools across the country. The program gives students in over 135 schools in Illinois, Washington, D.C., California and Florida access to nutrition and cooking skills curricula.
“Herbalife is excited to sponsor nutritional programs to help students in these cities improve their understanding of the importance of eating healthy,” said Angela Arboleda, Herbalife vice president of government and community affairs. “It is critical to equip our nation’s young people with the building blocks for healthy living, especially those who do not have access to the resources and information at home. Programs like Common Threads are important for helping children establish healthy eating habits. We look forward to building upon our company’s deep commitment to helping people live healthy, active lifestyles through this long-term partnership.”
The program is geared towards students who do not otherwise have access to well-balanced dietary options in their community or at home. The schools selected for the program are located in neighborhoods across the country that do not have access to fresh produce and other nutritious ingredients. One of the criteria for school selection is that 80% of the students in the school must qualify for free school lunches.
“Common Threads is thrilled to announce that Herbalife will become an official national program partner of our organization,” said Art Smith, president of Common Threads. “Herbalife’s generous support will help improve the lives of at-risk youth in communities across the country.”
As a result of the partnership with Herbalife, Common Threads will grow its existing programs and expand into five additional LA-area schools to serve over 600 students in the first year alone. Students participating in the program will receive lessons throughout the school year in good nutrition, healthy foods from across the world, planting and harvesting from a garden to make healthy meals, and meal planning and budgeting for healthy meals with family members.

Who Are The Next Millionaires?

Paul Zane Pilzer,American Economist

After the crash of 2001, many people felt they missed their chance to be part of the boom of the 1990s. Yet, in the four years following 9/11, U.S. household wealth has increased by an incredible $8 trillion to $48 trillion—an additional 20 percent!
As of this writing, census figures are not yet compiled to verify this figure, but I would project conservatively that in the same period, we added at least another one million new millionaires.
And that millionaire population explosion is still happening.
Today, the U.S. and the world economy look almost identical to how they looked in 1991, except that there are more opportunities for entrepreneurs due to recent changes in taxation and technology. Based on this history and current conditions, I forecast that U.S. household wealth will again double to $100 trillion by 2016—and that over the same ten years, the exploding U.S. economy will create at least ten million new millionaires.
For those of you in the direct selling industry, this is incredibly good news. Why? Because a significant, good number of those new ten million millionaires are the people who are entering your businesses at this very moment.
American economist and NY Times best-selling author, Paul Zane Pilzer, shares these words on his website where he goes on to talk about the age of the entrepreneur. He believes that we're at the beginning of the home-based business boom and I agree. The crash of the economy since 9/11 13 years ago today has shed a silver lining, and that silver lining is the direct-selling industry. 
Never before has skeptism turned toward Corporate America and away from direct-selling like it has today. I'm sure if you ask many veterans of the network marketing industry they will share how much reception towards the industry has changed in the last 13 years. Indeed, the only individuals that seem to really have anything negative to say about network marketing are those that are short-selling it (ahem, Ackman) and those that are still stuck in the 9-5 mindset that's been abandoned by the entrepreneurs of the world. 
Most entrepreneurs, top-income earners, and business owners now not only support the industry but many have their hands in the pot as well. 
As Paul Zane Pilzer shares, many of the new ten million millionaires that will be created in the next decade will come from this industry. 
What is a millionaire? Often times I hear fellow direct-sellers calling individuals millionaires simply because they earned a million dollars. This is simply not true. A millionaire is an individual whose net worth or wealth is equal to or exceeds one million units of currency. It can also be a person who owns one million units of currency in a bank account or savings account. 
Individuals are looking for a second, sometimes third stream of income in addition to what they're doing. Companies have taken away retirement and are reducing benefits. Help those individuals by giving them peace of mind and a true retirement plan and you may find yourself in that group of new millionaires.

Avon Continues To Struggle After CFO Resigns

Sheri McCoy, Avon, CEO

Avon's stock is falling Tuesday after its chief financial officer resigned to take a CFO job in another industry.
Late Monday Avon Products Inc., which has struggled to turn around its business, said that Kimberly Ross' resignation is effective on Oct. 2. Avon's vice president and corporate controller, Robert Loughran, will be interim CFO while the New York company searches for a permanent replacement.
Avon is the world's biggest direct seller of cosmetics, but its sales have been steadily declining. The company has reduced costs, cut thousands of jobs and left unprofitable markets to try to improve its business.
Ross, who joined Avon in 2011, leaves big shoes to fill, said Wendy Nicholson of Citi Investment Research in a client note. Ross helped sell jewelry company Silpada, exit weak markets and refinance the balance sheet, Nicholson said. But Avon still has a lot of work to do in its turnaround plan, she said, and that's a problem as it may take a while to hire a new CFO.
"Avon's overhead costs seem still way too high, its internal controls/systems are still weak, its cash flow is still depressed and too many markets are still in disarray," she wrote.
The analyst cut Avon's rating to "Neutral" from "Buy" and lowered its price target to $15 from $18.
Still, Ross' exit doesn't necessarily suggest she left because of Avon's struggles, said Stifel Nicolaus' Mark Astrachan — it could just be a "superior career opportunity" for her. He kept a "Buy" rating and $18 price target.
Ross will be the CFO at oilfield services company Baker Hughes.
Shares of Avon declined 59 cents, or 4.3 percent, to $13.07 in morning trading. The stock had dropped 21 percent in 2014.

Truman Hunt, Chairman of DSA

More than 400 independent direct selling consultants representing 28 companies, 30 states, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia met with members of Congress today during Direct Selling Associations (DSAs)second annual Direct Selling Day on Capitol Hill. Participants shared personal stories about how direct selling has helped them achieve business and personal goals to create a better life.
Direct selling empowers entrepreneurs who are building the American economy community by community, said Joseph Mariano, president of DSA. Our industry has a positive story to tell, and Direct Selling Day on Capitol Hill is a great way to explain that our people are the industrys greatest asset.
Participants from all corners of the country related how direct selling which involves the direct sale of products and services person-to-person, through home parties or online through distributor websites has provided them with personal flexibility, the opportunity to own their own businesses and the chance to achieve a variety of personal and professional goals including supplementing their income, receiving recognition for successes and promoting a product or service they stand behind.
Mariano continued, Direct sellers live and work in every state and Congressional district in the country. Its critical that policymakers understand the value that direct selling adds to their constituents and the economy. Thats what Direct Selling Day is all about. We look forward to working with members of Congress to ensure that the nearly 17 million people involved in direct selling in the United States continue to have a bright future.
As part of the build-up to Direct Selling Day, DSA placed targeted rail car advertising on the Washington, D.C. Metro system. The ads are scheduled to run through the end of September and tout the value of direct selling in helping individuals achieve personal and business-related aspirations.
In addition to their conversations with members of Congress, Direct Selling Day participants also signed the Direct Selling Proclamation and Compact, which is another way to ensure that policymakers understand the important role direct selling plays.
In 2013, direct sales totaled $32.67 billion, according to DSAs Growth and Outlook Report. This represents a 3.3 percent year-over-year increase from $31.63 billion in 2012 and continues an upward trend that began in 2010.
ABOUT DIRECT SELLING ASSOCIATION

The vast majority are independent business peoplemicro-entrepreneurswhose purpose is to sell the product/service of the company they voluntarily choose to represent.
