It’s often hard for me to describe these big events in the afterglow — words like successful, powerful or magical just don’t capture the magnitude of emotions and excitement that you get experiencing it firsthand. Like every other year, I truly believe that this was the best event ever. The thing is, every year I’m right! We just keep getting better. “Set goals, build your business globally, take and make the President’s Challenge, jump Pin Levels and we’ll see you on stage at 2014 World Conference!” The theme of 2013 International Convention was “A New Company. A New Opportunity. A New You.” This concept literally came to life throughout the weekend as one presentation after another validated how our company and entrepreneurial opportunity have been reinvented to leverage the latest technology and reach brand-new markets worldwide. We announced a host of new additions to our most popular brands like Isotonix, Lumière de Vie, Motives and TLS. Plus we introduced brand-new lines like DNA Miracles, Frusanté and Choice Bars. The revolutionary online Home Advisor will help convert spending into earning, thus building your Shopping Annuity. With our EMP countries expanding, a GLOBAL.SHOP.COM site servicing the world, and a global unified MPCP combining all BV, Market America truly is a new company with even bigger opportunities. The last part of the theme is A New You, which should be the emphasis for every UnFranchise Owner from now until World Conference. There are a lot of new products and concepts that must be implemented and duplicated to transform into a hopeless success, but keep in mind that it all starts with mastering the fundamentals. One of my favorite demonstrations on stage is the example of priming the pumps. I always preface it with a story from back when I was a Boy Scout. Our whole troop went on a 10-mile hike one day in August and we got lost. It was extremely hot and we had to find water, so we checked behind this old farmhouse and found a pump. There was a bucket beside it, and the unspoken rule is that the last person to use the pump leaves a full bucket of water so the next people who need to get it running can use the water to prime the pump. This time, the bucket was empty. I started pumping anyway; working really hard and it barely did anything. I pumped and I pumped, but nothing was happening. Finally, the Boy Scout leader tells me to run down to a river and fill up the • built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® bucket. We then poured it into the pump, which immediately started gushing fresh water! All we needed to do was prime it first. This business is exactly like that pump. When an UnFranchise Owner starts their business with Market America, they are given SHOP.COM in a box — meaning it’s everything someone needs to instantly start a global online business. From the storefront and merchandising, to support and marketing materials, to proven business-building strategies, order fulfillment and shipping services — it’s all provided upfront. Like the pumps, however, you have to put something in before you get something out. You have to prime it by performing the key resultproducing activities, mastering the Basic 5, and building Base 10, Seven Strong. Then, once you get the business going, it becomes much easier to grow and create momentum. The fundamentals of our business haven’t changed since we started. We still use and share the products, introduce the business by showing people the Plan, sell education by selling tickets, and work in the homes with the ABC Pattern. Next, cross-pollinate by building within your specific region — the Americas (U.S., Canada, Mexico and South America); Asia-Pacific (Australia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, with Philippines, Singapore and New Zealand coming soon); and Europe (United Kingdom and Spain). Then you can create combinations in your organizations with International Re-Entry Centers (IRCs) and Universal Global Centers (UGCs) to bolster BV and commissions exponentially! IRCs leverage BV accrual in other markets, tying volume back in to your home country BDCs and strengthening weak legs. UGCs allow you to maximize home country BV overflow by feeding BDCs in other markets. Basically, this opens the floodgates of earning potential for all UnFranchise Owners, and it takes the MPCP to nuclear proportions. Use the tidal wave of momentum created from International Convention. Set goals, build your business globally, take and make the President’s Challenge, jump Pin Levels and we’ll see you on stage at 2014 World Conference! I believe in you. Keep growing.

By Steven Schnur, M.D. The digestive tract is home to 400-500 different types of microbes, including both healthy bacteria (probiotics) and potentially pathogenic (or disease-causing) bacteria. Maintaining optimal digestive and immune health depends in large part on maintaining optimal bacterial balance within the digestive tract. Crohn’s disease and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) are both believed to be the byproducts of an imbalance in this relationship. The Research According to a recent meta-analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, probiotics have “shown promise” in prevention and treatment of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. The use of probiotics was associated with a 42 percent lower risk of developing diarrhea compared with control groups in more than 60 studies included in the analysis. The benefits of probiotics stretch far beyond digestive health. Probiotics are also being studied for their cholesterol-lowering activity. Cholesterol is made in the liver from bile, stored in the gallbladder, and released into the upper portion of the small intestine after food intake. Probiotic bacteria — especially Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Enterococcus and Clostridium — produce enzymes that convert bile into a less-soluble form, which is excreted in feces before it can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream. While the capacity to bind cholesterol and the amount of cholesterol assimilated varies widely among strains, overall, the studies show oral administration of probiotics may reduce cholesterol levels by as much as 33 percent. In addition, research published in the British Journal of Nutrition shows two particular strains of probiotics — Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum — have “beneficial psychological effects in humans” and may play a key role in reducing some people’s anxiety. The Sources Many people point to yogurt when they’re asked for a source of probiotics. While it is true that the manufacturing process for yogurt means it will inevitably contain some probiotic bacteria, one simple fact cannot justify strong probiotic claims. There is a very important difference between probiotic presence and probiotic benefits, which manufacturers tend to ignore. So exactly what makes a high-quality probiotic product? Many probiotic products deliver a high total probiotic count, but they are only coming from one or two strains which yields less comprehensive support. According to research published in Food Research International, probiotic products that deliver multiple strains can offer more benefits than a single strain. Diversity of strains, total bacterial count and protection of the probiotics are key elements to be considered for a quality probiotic supplement. Steven A. Schnur, M.D., is a Senior Medical Advisor for the nutraMetrix® Educational Institute and founder and president of EliteHealth LLC. He studied at State University of New York from 1977-1981, where he earned his bachelor’s of science degree in biochemistry. Dr. Schnur attended the University of Miami from 1981-1985, earning his medical degree, and received his board certification from the American Board of Internal Medicine and Cardiology in 1991, and also in 2001.

I live on Isotonix Joint Formula���� built on product. powered by people. ® • LIVING WELL built on product. powered by people. ® • Smaller fish such as herring, sardines and anchovies are most plentiful in omega 3s, EPA and DHA. built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® EPA and DHA serve different functions. These good fats influence thousands of gene expressions involving fat metabolism, cell inflammation and brain signals. If your cells don’t get the needed amount of DHA and EPA, they can’t function optimally and eventually break down. The only way to get these essential fatty acids is through the foods you eat or the supplements you take. As a cardiologist, I always recommend patients take a quality omega-3 product to maintain heart health. But the most common question I get is: “What do you mean by a quality product?” There are a couple of things to look for to determine what omega-3 product you should take. SO IF I HAVE TO CONSUME OMEGA-3s, WHAT’S THE BEST SOURCE? Studies show that receiving an adequate amount of omega-3s can reduce triglyceride levels by as much as 30 percent in adults — a main component of keeping cholesterol in check. Additionally, baby boomers can reduce their risk of coronary heart disease deaths by up to 40 percent with adequate omega-3 intake. These and countless other fish oil studies involve the use of 1,000 to 3,000 milligrams of omegas. That’s why it’s important to know how much omega-3 is in a product to receive the maximum benefit. By Perry Krichmar, M.D. built on product. powered by people. ® Omega-3s have been shown in studies to improve the incidences of cardiovascular disease, mental health illnesses like Alzheimer’s disease, inflammation and more. For example, adequate omega-3 intake has been shown to reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels enough to reduce the risk of heart attack by 5 percent and the risk of stroke by 8 percent. HOW MUCH OMEGA-3 ARE YOU GETTING, AND WHICH KINDS? What Makes a Good Omega-3 Product? • It’s easy to distinguish the amount of total omega-3s in a product, as most companies — especially marketing-savvy ones — will tout those numbers right on the label or in their advertising. Then you have to find out what types of omega-3s are in said product and how much. “Well, isn’t all omega-3 the same thing?” The answer is no. Many mass-marketed products contain anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 milligrams of omegas. However, they include as little as 100 milligrams of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the two most important omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish oil. Oily fish — especially smaller fish such as herring, sardines and anchovies — are most plentiful in omega-3s, EPA and DHA. Not only that, but their lifespan is short, so they’re less likely to accumulate environmental toxins common in larger, longer-lived fish. That’s another important factor when choosing an omega-3 product: the source of its fish. Quality omega-3 products utilize these smaller, cold-water fish because they provide the best, most contaminant-free fish oils. And many reputable companies and manufacturers will screen even further, testing every batch of omega-3 fish oil dozens, if not hundreds, of times throughout their production processes. It’s easy to understand why patients and consumers might get confused. There are a lot of omega-3 fish oil products on the market. You can look in any grocery store, specialty nutrition store or big-box retailer, or search “fish oil” online and find hundreds of pills and supplements touting their superiority. Finding that proverbial needle in a haystack may seem daunting. Make sure you’re getting your money’s worth.

The winners share their inspiring stories. By James Moffat Dan Beiler sat at his computer one night searching for a way out. In his own words, he was alone, depressed, scared, confused and dying. Then, he saw a way out. A simple message from a woman on Facebook: Do you want to change your life? “I said, I’ve got to make a change, [but] I don’t know what that looks like,” Beiler said. “I knew after the first week of starting the TLS program that I was on to something. When I look in the mirror today, I see success and I have a sense of purpose.” “I screamed at the computer, ‘Yes! I want to change my life right now’,” he recalled. “I just poured out my heart to her and said I need to make a change.” Beiler was one of six people — three individuals and one threemember team — recognized by TLS and Market America at 2013 International Convention and awarded a total of $75,000 in cash prizes for their weight loss successes. In all, participants in the 2013 Spring Challenge lost more than 14,000 pounds and 3,400 inches from their waistlines. “I knew after the first week of starting the TLS program that I was on to something. When I look in the mirror today, I see success and I have a sense of purpose.” Twelve weeks later, thanks to that woman — his TLS Weight Loss Solution coach Meredith Garofalo — and a whole lot of determination, Beiler is both a big loser and a big winner: He’s lost 112 pounds and more than 34 percent body fat. And he’s the individual winner of the TLS Find Your Fit 2013 Spring Challenge, earning $15,000 for his incredible accomplishment. “People are looking to get healthier, lose weight and just feel better about themselves,” said Lydia Martinez, director of TLS Weight Loss Solution. “The Find Your Fit Challenge provides the motivation, and looking at the results, it’s worked.” But it’s not just about the pounds lost: it’s about living healthier and getting the most out of life, according to second-place winner Rob Alvarez. “For me, I wanted to get healthy. Bending over to tie my shoes and getting out of breath didn’t feel good anymore,” said Alvarez, who competed in two consecutive Find Your Fit challenges, lost 53 pounds and went from a size 44 to a size 34. “I feel like I’m 20 [years old] again. I want to inspire other people to do the same.” “The four-day Convention held at the [Greensboro] Coliseum attracts about 20,000 people, and company leaders say it pumps about $21 million into the local economy.” — Fox 8 WGHP, Aug. 9, 2013 built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® Changing lives — that’s what TLS® has been about for Rebecca Tobar, the coach of our 2013 Spring Challenge group winners, Team X-treme.

By Heather Pike The theme for this year’s International Convention was “A New Company. A New Opportunity. A New You.” This theme applies to many aspects of the Market America | SHOP.COM business, including the actual website itself, SHOP.COM. The site has received many upgrades that make it more appealing to customers than ever. Since Market America acquired SHOP.COM two-and-a-half years ago, a talented team of programmers has been working tirelessly to integrate the two separate technologies. The integration is now complete, and SHOP.COM is easier to navigate and more customer-friendly than ever — the next step toward a major strategic mission to be the best customer experience on the web. The most noticeable change to SHOP.COM is the new home page design. The new streamlined look and feel is sleek and professional while also being inviting and engaging. Navigation categories at the top of the page, a key component to online shopping sites, have been updated to include the most relevant categories based on research and analytics. Market America brands, other popular brands, seasonal deals and hot items are now easier to find and more prominently displayed on the site. Banners that feature multiple products are now clickable to each product, allowing users to see pages for each product individually — a feature not seen on other online retailer sites.

Randy Cantin @randycantin This business is getting easier and easier #MAIC2013 Checkout is simpler, with fewer clicks and page refreshes required to make a purchase, increasing purchases by users. Different areas on the site are also accessed by windows that expand right on the existing screen and simply close after use, so previous navigation is not lost. We have also continued to improve the site’s search functionality. Search technology is critical on any shopping site, and we are making changes daily to our algorithms and other aspects of the technology that improve its functionality. The type-ahead feature of the search has been updated, based on most searched and purchased items, and spell-check has been improved to help shoppers find exactly what they are looking for quickly and easily. Search result relevancy has also been enhanced, allowing users to select from more specific subcategories to narrow their search down to exactly what they want. Market America-branded product pages now all include a comparison chart, indicating how the products stack up to similar brands and products. This allows users to quickly visualize what a quality purchase they are making with every Market America product. Other existing items on the site have been upgraded, such as the Trends page, Daily Deals, Hot Deals, ShopBuddy™ and others, to truly make the shopping experience better than ever.

FACEBOOK PAGES WHAT TO KNOW FOR YOUR BUSINESS Is a Facebook profile or page the right fit for you? By Hannah Callaway, Social Media Community Manager Loren Ridinger and Steve Ashley gave a social media presentation at International Convention that was jam-packed with tips and suggestions you can leverage to build your business across multiple social platforms. One of the most notable topics covered was the importance of creating a Facebook page for your business. You’re probably already using Facebook, so why add the hassle of a monitoring a page? Here’s a quick run down of the differences between profiles and pages. Use this list to determine which is the right fit for you! LINGO If you have a personal profile on Facebook and also manage a page, make sure you have the lingo correct before you start sharing with potential customers and business partners. On a profile, invite people to “add” you as a friend or “follow” your public updates. For your page, users can “like” the page to stay abreast of posts and new updates. ACCESS If you have a Facebook account then you automatically have a Facebook profile. Simply log in to Facebook with your email address to access your profile. Pages are managed through your profile. When you create a page, you have the option of assigning managers and other contributors to have access to it. You don’t have to have a separate login or email to create or manage a page. They are shown in the left column of your Facebook “Home” screen. Click there to visit your page, read notifications, post content and engage with users. PRIVACY While you have freedom to change your privacy settings on your Facebook profile, anything posted to a page is automatically visible to the world. If you create a page, it becomes the place to talk about your UnFranchise® Business. Keep family photos and personal updates exclusively on your profile. SCHEDULING If you’re constantly on the go and don’t have time to create Facebook content on a daily basis, it’s easy to schedule posts ahead of time! If you’re writing for a profile, you’ll need to use an outside management tool (such as HootSuite — it’s free!) to schedule your posts. On a Facebook page, you have the ability to schedule posts straight on the page itself. Then, click “Use Activity Log” in the Admin Panel to see what you’ve scheduled. THE FISH OIL Other fish oil products just can’t compare to Heart Health™ Essential Omega III Fish Oil with Vitamin E. Most other commercial products contain a third of the total fish oil contained in Heart Health Essential Omega III Fish Oil.*† Love your heart — get this exclusive formula only at . TABS One of the biggest differences between a Facebook profile and page is that pages allow you to create tabs with additional content. Tabs can link to other social networking sites (Twitter, Instagram, etc.) and with StoreYa.com you can even create a tab for a store that sells items from your portal — right on Facebook! Loren and Steve talked about the power of StoreYa.com in their presentation but we’ll be sharing much more with you over the coming months. If you think that a Facebook page may be the right fit for your UnFranchise Business, I encourage you to get started now! Set it up and ask leaders in your organization what tips they have to help you create valuable content. We’ll be sharing more information about Facebook pages soon, so keep an eye on our corporate social media channels for more details.

By Brandon Keel By now, most UnFranchise® Owners should be familiar with the concept of the Shopping Annuity. For those who are still a little unclear about it, the perfect tool has been developed to guide them through how to best grow their Shopping Annuity, and as a result, grow their business. The new Home Advisor is nothing short of genius. It combines convenience with the power of demonstration, showing users exactly how much they can save and earn by switching from current brands to Market America’s exclusive quality brands, thus investing in their Shopping Annuity to build a solid financial future. UFOs have access to the Home Advisor through unfranchise.com, whereas their customers have access to the exact same platform and functionality on SHOP.COM. Shoppers can use the Home Advisor to navigate from room to room in a virtual home, keep track of savings, add or edit products at any time, plus a MyList tailored to the individual’s needs is automatically created. Take a quick trip through the kitchen, laundry room, family room, bedroom, bathroom, garage and outdoors to discover products that can enhance daily life and save money in the process. To get started, users are prompted to either log in (if they’re not already) or to create an account for new customers. From there, it will ask what categories a user buys from regularly in order to customize the experience: For Him, For Her, Child, Pet, Pool / Spa, Vehicle and Lawn & Garden. After that, the real experience begins as the Home Advisor thoroughly goes through every room of the house, breaking each one down into different categories (based on preferences selected in the prior step) of consumable products typically found there. For example, in the kitchen, one of the categories is Kitchen Cleaners with a list of all types of cleaners people use on a regular basis. The next category in the kitchen is Nutrition, covering vitamins, supplements, antioxidants, energy needs, fiber and so many other areas of wellness. As shoppers move through the categories within a particular room, there is a status bar to show the progress, in addition to BV and retail profit (or Cashback for customers). 24 POWERLINE • AUG/SEPT 2013 “With our emerging markets program, our GLOBAL.SHOP.COM website,” said vice-president Andrew Weissman. “There’s really no more geographic boundaries, so, we really see ourselves as a global opportunity.” — News 14 Carolina, Aug. 9, 2013 built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® • built on product. powered by people. ® All Your Once all categories in a particular room are completed, the Home Advisor will recommend Market America products based on each item checked off by the user. For example, if someone indicates that they use disinfectant spray under Kitchen Cleaners and that they take antioxidants under the Nutrition category, they would be presented with Snap™ Disinfectant Cleaner and Isotonix OPC-3®, among others. ENTERTAINMENT in One Place This is where it really gets cool. Users will have the information right at their fingertips that shows the product details for whatever Market America item is being recommended. In addition, the Home Advisor provides a detailed look at how Market America products stack up against the competition under the Compare Product tab. SHOP.COM Marketplace has launched Books, Music and Videos (BMV), offering over 1.2 million books, eBooks, digital audio, music and movies on DVD and Blu-Ray. In one quick glance, the Compare Product tab lists all the major brands of competition, breaks them down into cost per serving, and demonstrates how much money can be saved by purchasing Market America products and/or what makes them superior in the marketplace. With such a huge supply, all merchandise is competitively priced, plus customers earn 2 percent Cashback on every purchase, while UnFranchise® As shoppers continue through the process, room by room, selecting products — it starts to become clearer than ever the power of buying Market America brands. At any time during the process, users have a button on every product page that allows them to add that product to MyList, a feature that allows shoppers to save and share lists of products they want. Shoppers have access to thousands of digital book titles, including best sellers, new releases and more — many of which are priced under $5! Should a shopper get interrupted from completing the Home Advisor, they can pick right back up in the process the next time they log in. Plus, MyLists that are created with the Home Advisor can be edited at any time. Owners receive 5 percent IBV. Once the Home Advisor has been completed by UFOs, it will show a screen with the total retail profit of products selected, the monthly savings, and the monthly BV value of a particular list! This is an incredible way for UnFranchise Owners to get a realistic idea of what investing in their own business can do for long-term growth and success. This is a tool that UnFranchise Owners simply cannot afford to ignore. Give it a try! If nothing else, it will at least provide a glimpse of the power of the Shopping Annuity. Customers can also benefit from going through the Home Advisor on SHOP.COM, as they will see the savings pile up, plus the Cashback amount tallies right before their eyes.

We enjoy picnics, swimming, family gatherings, shopping and traveling. Market America has given me the time and financial freedom to enjoy these things. The NMTSS has helped me build self-confidence, get to know more people and leverage my business. I would like to thank to my mentors, Amber Yang and Min Liu, for their efforts in organizing the NMTSS, which helps me build my business. Glen and Kam Ferro, NJ The NMTSS was the key to our achievement. Because of the NMTSS, we believe in our company, our products and ourselves. We have been building our business from event to event. We couldn’t have done this without our wonderful NMTSS system. We will now be able to spend more quality time with our children and parents, we will be debt free, and we will help our sons to achieve their goals. Jeremiah 29:11 Ai Ping Jin, Toronto, ON Because of heavy clinical work and irregular eating patterns, my husband and I had experienced a dramatic increase in body weight. Fortunately, with help from the ma TLS® program, both of us successfully lost 30 lbs. and have gotten healthier and younger us back. Introducing ma products to our patients also received outstanding feedback. These findings gave us enormous confidence and firm determination to really dig into the business. Thank you, Market America! *The examples of income shown for each of the Independent Distributors featured in powerpeople are not intended to be representative of the earnings of any specific class of Market America Independent Distributors, nor are they intended to represent that any given Independent Distributor will earn income in that amount.

Li Qin Li, New York, NY I’m so grateful to have a Market America UnFranchise® Business; it has transformed my life. Market America is a true blessing for average people. My friend, Yu Yan Lin, introduced me to Market America via the Isotonix® line and the system. This business has totally changed my life. My goal is to bring more people to the finish line with me. I’m so thankful for JR and my team because they have helped me reach my dreams! Laurie Pergola, Dunedin, FL God bless Bob Pepé for bringing Market America to Florida so many years ago. I would like to thank my son, Ryan, for his vision and commitment to his UnFranchise Business. I would also like to thank my good friend, Deb Reed, for all she does to help our team and me. My three key points to success: Don’t quit, Don’t quit, Don’t quit! Qi Wang, Rosemead, CA Since I moved to the U.S., I have worked so hard that I have had no time for my family. One of the main reasons I am a Shop Consultant is for the time freedom. The first Moving Up Seminar I attended opened my eyes to the basic knowledge for building this business. Thanks to my whole team for changing my life, and to Market America for providing this opportunity to average people just like me. Jane Zhou, Toronto, ON I came to Canada 33 years ago from Beijing, China, knowing nothing about business or being an entrepreneur. I’ve been working all my life and should be happily retired but cannot afford to do so. When I received my little pension from the government, I almost dropped dead! I decided that I have to do something to turn my life around. Then, I found Market America. Thanks to my mentors, Max Min Chen and Wei Wang. Susan Markowitz, Bound Brook, NJ I am a Registered Dietitian. I see patients part time while building my nutraMetrix® business and teaching patients about TLS®. I love that I have the ability to choose the hours I work, and take off for periods of time during the summer. I am very blessed to have an outstanding team. The leadership, training and mentoring I receive is what has helped me succeed. I want to do the same for my team. Ryan Pergola, Trinity, FL I am a certified fitness professional with a passion for health, wellness and helping others. When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. Being able to help hundreds of people through the TLS® Weight Loss System has been the most rewarding part of this journey. I’d like to thank my mother and father for supporting me and allowing me to pursue my career in wellness. Yushun Wen, Newington, CT I’m an immigrant with long working hours but little salary — that was not my American dream. Thanks to my sponsor, Kim, who introduced me to this great opportunity. During the three years of this amazing journey, I realized it’s really essential to plug myself and my team into the NMTSS. I also really appreciate my teammates’ efforts and the help of Kim, Jessica, James and Amber. They are great leaders who helped grow fabulous entrepreneurs! Jia Zhou, Reston, VA I am an entrepreneur who is always looking for business opportunities. I didn’t realize the power of the UnFranchise Business model until I had a few other business experiences. Now I truly believe that the power of duplication and leveraging will help people reach financial freedom through teamwork. I enjoy the learning process for personal growth and I feel proud to be a Shop Consultant who helps my customers. Jerry & Amy Martin, Winder, GA We never dreamed the potential of this business is what it is and we are so thankful for the great people and leaders we have met along the way. We say thank you to everyone out there who invests a little time in someone else — sometimes it takes you believing in them more than they believe in themselves for them to do something great. We look forward to what the future holds with Market America! John and Sharon Strack, MN For the past 13 years we have owned a traditional business, where trading time for money could not be truer. Thank you JR, Loren and the Corporate Team for giving us the opportunity to build a business by working with other great people to achieve our goals. It is fun to dream and even more fun to realize those dreams. We just follow the business plan and the leaders who have paved the way. Thanks, ma®! Eric Ho Sang Yu, Brooklyn, NY I was looking for a better way. When ma® was introduced to me, I found it to be something I can do without affecting my lifestyle. The idea of having full control of time and financial freedom is just fantastic. I am so thankful for the corporate team, my team, my senior partners and my family. Words cannot express this incredible journey. The best way to show appreciation is to give it back to the people you love.
