I hope that you all achieved what you were working towards. Maybe it was a new pin position, Eagle Manager, Global Rally, or even a Chairman's Bonus cheque. Or maybe you achieved a personal best or a fitness goal with our great new F.I.T. programme. I love to see your stories and pictures of success on our Facebook pages. So many of you are changing your lives for the better – you are living in better homes, driving nicer cars and finding financial freedom. It is wonderful to be part of this global phenomenon that we call Forever. “There isn’t a day that goes by that we are not conscious of the challenges that you face.” I also recognise that for some, 2014 was a tough year. There was too much conflict, incidents and accidents around the world that I know affected the lives of many of our Distributors. There isn't a day that goes by that we are not conscious of the challenges that you face. If 2014 was not the year you were hoping for, stay strong, stay the course, and keep fighting to achieve your goals. Do not give up. You know that there is always sunlight above the clouds, and all trials are temporary. Forever will not let you down. We are committed to making our company the very best it can be, and we want you to be part of that journey of success. I once heard it said that there are two sides to every story: yours and the right one! This expression is the inspiration for me sharing the following anecdote Forever | February 2015 with you. Forgive me if you have read it before, but I think it is so powerful for us as motivators of people. The ability to recognise that we all have areas that need improving, and none of us are perfect, is a key component in the ability to empathise and then to inspire. "Look, she has learned how to wash correctly!" she announced to her husband. A young successful couple moved into an upper-class neighbourhood. Next door lived an elderly widow. Each morning, the widow would hand wash her clothes and place them on a line outside to dry in the sunshine. Each morning, the young wife would complain about the clothes blocking her view and question why, in this modern world, anyone would hand wash clothes. She even began to complain about the fact that the clothes were dirty. And so it is with life. More often than not we need to clean our windows before we judge another. "I think I need to show that old lady how to wash her clothes. It is disgusting that dirty clothes are all I see in the mornings!" she'd complain. "Maybe she needs to spend some money on a better detergent, or even a washing machine!” Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Sometime later the young woman was surprised to see nice clean clothes hanging on the line. The husband finally responded, “Actually, I woke up early this morning and washed your windows, the clothes were clean; it was your windows that were dirty.” I am confident that as we work on trying to see things from others’ point of view, we will be able to separate ourselves from them, and create an environment where people want to be involved, thereby building our businesses. Make it a wonderful 2015! Rex Maughan CEO Recognition Forever found me I’m originally from Uganda where I worked as a detective inspector in the police. I came to the UK firstly in 1990 to train at West Yorkshire Detective Police Training College, Bishopgarth, as an overseas detective police officer. I completed the training and undertook my placement in New Scotland Yard and the City of London Police. I then went back to Uganda briefly, and returned in 1992 to pursue a post graduate Diploma Course in Criminology at Exeter University and again went back to Uganda in 1993. Having a background in the criminal justice system, I came across an advert for a job in the National Probation Service with sponsorship for a Master’s Degree in Criminal Justice. I’d worked with the police for 18 years as a detective inspector, so I decided to apply. After qualifying, I was posted to the London area and have been in London for 11 years as a probation officer, handling high-risk and very high-risk cases both in the community and prisons across the country. I returned to the UK in 1995 to attend a conference and my police colleagues here asked me to stay in London and join them. However, the job they offered as a police constable meant that I was starting at lower rank and that wasn’t for me. So, I completed a business studies degree and got a job with Ford as a sales planning analyst promoting Ford transit vans in Europe. It was a good job; well paid with lots of travel and a company credit card. I was eventually made redundant from this role and moved on to a position in corporate marketing at Barclays bank, which only lasted for a year, leaving me looking for something else to do for a living. So, how did I become involved with Forever? I would say that Forever found me. I was leaving the Stratford Shopping Centre in London one day, when a lady who was standing at the exit approached me and told me that she worked with a global company that helps people to earn an extra income working flexibly alongside their existing commitments. It took nearly two months for her to arrange a meeting with me because I’d provided my office mobile phone, which is usually switched off out of office hours. When we eventually did meet, I listened to her talk 5 Supervisor// Richard Ogwang-Aguma Sponsor // Kizzire Clarke about the opportunity and I thought that there could be something in this for me. I was looking to earn an extra income, so I decided to try it. Maybe this could be a vehicle for me to get financial freedom. My first business prospecting meeting was with a colleague who had just left our offices. I felt we were in a similar situation; looking for a way to earn an additional income, so decided to show her the opportunity. She unfortunately said it wasn’t for her, and that was my first rejection. You can imagine how it felt. But I kept on trying, and Philomena Guandai (who is in my upline) advised me after a Business Presentation that the best way to build a team is to arrange product launches. Because I have a lot of contacts within the community, I have been able to begin to build a business in this way. I believe I’ve just scratched the surface with Forever – by the time this magazine goes to print I should have reached Manager. I look forward to achieving many great things with my fantastic team. Forever | February 2015 6 Bob’s Message 10 tips for a great 2015 What a great business start we have had to 2015 building on our brilliant last year. I am happy to be able to share with you that UK business grew by 54% in sales in 2014 and recruitment was up 70%. Ireland grew by 52% in sales, and 70% more people joined the business. Thank you all for your contribution to another successful year for us; a year in which not only have we prospered, but Europe as a region also saw an 11% growth. The UK/Ireland/Iceland business was no.1 in Europe, and Ireland was no.9 in its own right! We have record numbers of Chairman’s Bonus qualifiers and it’s looking like a record number of new Eagle Managers for Cancun, Mexico. Having a great year is the result of many of you individually achieving your goals. I hope that you are still very much inspired by the goals with which you started the year and that you stay focused on them daily. Here are 10 tips to stay on track in 2015 and to ensure that it becomes your best year ever. Remember, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your thoughts (constantly check your thinking). Keep the promises that you make to yourself and to others. Forever | February 2015 The tasks that frighten you the most are the ones to tackle first (make those calls!). Small daily improvements are the key to staggering long-term results. Stop being busy, being busy! Clear out the distractions; focus on the few things that matter. In a world where technology is causing some of us to forget how to be human, become the politest person you know. Touch someone’s life positively every day. Remember many great ideas were first ridiculed. Be courageous. Remember critics are dreamers who got scared. Take some time every weekend to develop your seven-day plan. As was once said by Saul Bellow, “A plan relieves you of the torment of choice.” Occasionally release your need to be liked this year. You can’t be a visionary if you long to be liked. I look forward to sharing in your amazing year. Bob Parker Country Manager @bobparkerflp www.youtube.com/flpukltd Recognition All or nothing 7 Assistant Manager // Sophie Starkey Sponsor // Maddison Harratt How did you find out about Forever? My best friend, Maddy Harratt, asked me to host a product launch at my house. I had just moved into my dream house in the country and needed an excuse for a party! I bought some of the products and immediately fell in love. Why did you decide to sign up? If I’m completely honest, I didn’t realise there was much of a business opportunity and I wasn’t looking for anything at the time, so I dismissed it at first. In the meantime, I had been watching Maddy on Facebook being promoted, making all of these friends, and I was intrigued. Four months later we met for lunch and she showed me her bonus recap. That was it, I was sold! I didn’t even know what I had to do, I was just excited. What is your working background? I had only ever worked in banking before I found Forever. I went straight into it full time after finishing my education and thought that was my career sorted. The reality was that people don’t like banks, and dealing with angry customers all day was exhausting. I had developed severe anxiety and hated my job, so much so, that I was signed off with stress last October. As a result of this, when I reached Supervisor in November, I sacked the boss. From that moment I decided I was going all the way with Forever and success was my only option. This ‘all-or-nothing’ attitude has been the driving force of my business. What have been your impressions about the business so far? I was blown away by the support from my upline, crossline – and everyone else for that matter. It’s a breath of fresh air to be in an environment where people actually enjoy their jobs! It still amazes me how much support there is; I have never been alone on my journey. There are people who have helped me when it is of no benefit to them, but they do it anyway. That’s the beauty of this business. What do you hope to achieve with Forever? Everything! Earned Incentive is my number one goal at the moment and I have a white Range Rover set as my screen saver. Going to need Level 3 for that! I’m a keen traveller and love my holidays, so I can’t wait to get my hands on a yellow suitcase too!

Kilimanjaro. In February 2013 he fell 35 feet and was told he would never run again. At the end of 2014, he had run 30 races in 12 months and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro again. This is his story. As an ex-military, David was used to being required to be fit and in good health. He had also reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro a staggering 46 times. However, in 2006, he had to undergo a serious back operation, which unfortunately led to a huge relapse. Then, in February 2013, David fell 35 feet out of a tree and was extremely lucky not to have broken his back. David says: “I was told I would never be able to run again and I’d be in chronic pain for the rest of my life, which would have to be managed by strong prescription drugs.” The doctors stated that David would have to be in traction for three months. This would involve laying down and being immobilised, being turned slowly onto his front and back. The purpose of this process is to increase the chances of repair in critical places of injury within the back, much like how a cast works on an arm, keeping you very still. After this, David was told he would require surgery. For someone so active, this was devastating. “Mentally I was crumbling; it was a huge shock to the system. Initially I was scared, I was stressed. After a while, I started to get fairly frustrated as well.” Determined not to go into traction, David spoke to a sports rehabilitation physiotherapist. After explaining his story, the physiotherapist said the outlook After a horrific accident, David Pickles was told he would never run again, but he defied all odds and conquered Mt. Kilimanjaro wasn’t too hopeful, but that he would give it a shot. After two months of working very hard, incredibly, David went from being unable to move at all, to shuffling around. He reveals what kept him going during those dark times, “I’ve got a four-year-old daughter, and I wanted to be the best I could be in order to inspire her; to show her and teach her that no matter what happens in life, no matter how hard you get knocked, you learn how to respond and get back on it again.” David hugely accredits his recovery to his mental strength and doubts that anything is possible without it. “Mentally I was crumbling; it was a huge shock to the system.” He then decided it was time to start setting some long, middle and short-term goals. One of these was to get off his prescription drugs, slowly stop the pain, and then eventually get running again. Having a sports science background in education and a herbal medicine diploma, David turned to herbal supplements. He started using Forever’s naturally inspired products, specifically the Forever Freedom and ARGI +. After two months of hard work, with Forever | February 2015 Feature the help of his physiotherapist and good nutrition, one morning something changed. “It normally took me an hour and a half to get out of bed, but I got up with relatively no pain, and my wife, who was with me, ended up taking the day off work. We didn’t understand what was going on. Within 20 minutes I was out of the bed, walking slowly down the stairs and I thought ‘flippin’ heck I’ve turned a corner’.” Buoyed by this belief, he immediately then set himself the goal of completing a sprint triathlon in six weeks. This may seem an absurdly short amount of time to train for an event like this, but David said, “I strongly believe that in terms of setting personal goals, if we err on the side of caution, there’s no point setting them. If I set a challenging goal, at least I can work towards it and see how I get on.” Day by day, David’s mindset got stronger and his pain faded more and more. After two weeks his pain had fully gone. At week four, David started his training and at the six-week point he completed the triathlon, finishing a miraculous 24th. Before the end of 2013 he wanted to set himself a few more goals to keep going. David did both a trial half marathon carrying 62lbs on his back and a 10,000 set challenge. The 10,000 set challenge consisted of 10 types of exercise: 100 sets every three minutes continuously for six hours consisting of press-ups, half sit-ups, knee-ups, squats, lunges, tricep dips, crunches, squat thrusts and burpees. The year of 2014 didn’t see a stop to his goals. With the confidence gained from his achievements the year before, David completed 30 races in just 12 months. The races, which averaged out at 2-3 a month, were a mix of triathlons (both Olympic and sprint distance), ultra marathons and weight-carrying marathons. He even came first in a 10K speed race. He did all of this as well as taking another group up Mt. Kilimanjaro, reaching his 46th landmark. David believes he has what he calls his ‘tool bag’ to thank for his enduring success, “These are all the tools that I contain in my tool bag: a good diet, sleep, water, exercise, supplements, the right professional help, hard work, a positive mind set, and never giving up.” He combines these elements with two self-made mantras, which he developed right at the start of his recovery process, “They are ‘dream, plan, do, review and never give up’ and the second one is ‘go as far as you can, and then go a little further’.” He adds, “Whatever I do in my training, my races or my post-event recovery, I always employ those two mantras, combined with my ‘tool bag’.” When asked how he felt about accomplishing so much after being told he would never run again, he says, “It 11 “If I set a challenging goal, at least I can work towards it and see how I get on.” makes me feel content, it makes me feel very secure that anything is possible as long as the right tools are put in place.” So what are his big plans for 2015? As well as his yearly trips up and down Mt. Kilimanjaro, David has written to the Guinness Book of Records to attempt 14 Olympic distance triathlons in 14 days in July. This would be a new entry in the book, as far as he is aware, but he is still waiting for a reply from the record-keepers. In September, David will also be participating in the Run/Swim Championships in Sweden. The event comprises swimming to 20 islands and running over each of them. It adds up to a 20k swim and a 60k run, whilst carrying everything you need with you. So, if you ever feel like giving up, or you’re going through a tough recovery process, remember David Pickles, the man who was told he would never run again.

Forever | February 2015 12 Recognition Forever has given me so much My background is in the retail industry where I worked for 16 years. But the challenge of juggling the unsociable hours alongside raising my two young daughters was beginning to take its toll, and I wanted weekends with my family rather than being at work. So in June 2013, I decided to leave my retail job. I also have a huge passion for music and wanted to spend more time on this. I had the opportunity to work from home in an admin role supporting my husband in his electrical business, but this meant sacrificing what had been a stable income. I joined Forever at the end of January 2014 after seeing an ex-work colleague of mine sharing her Clean 9 results. I was curious and we got chatting about life, and she shared the Business Opportunity with me as she thought it might interest Forever | February 2015 me. After an hour’s conversation, I knew I had nothing to lose and completely trusted in what Gemma was saying. If it was good enough for her, it was good enough for me, and I knew from that night this opportunity could be a life-changer. I remember coming home from the school run to listen to an online business presentation and getting to work straight away. I don’t even think I took my coat off that day – I was so excited! I was nervous too; I didn’t have a clue how network marketing worked and thought, “Who is Senior Managers // Lisa and Michael Williams Sponsor // Gemma Easdon & Gary Grehan my network?” But after my first product launch, I just started to talk to everyone about the products and the Business Opportunity. Forever has given me so much more than I had ever thought possible in the first year of my business, ending the year having achieved so many company incentives including Earned Incentive, Eagle Manager, Global Rally and being a Chairman’s Bonus qualifier. Reaching Senior Manager in December was the icing on the cake! Recognition 13 “I remember coming home from the school run to listen to an online business presentation and getting to work straight away. I don’t even think I took my coat off that day – I was so excited!” Helping others is the most rewarding part of this business and one of my Managers, a single mum, has now reached a point in her business where she has been able to give up her day job. This is what motivates me and gets me up every day to work the business and share this amazing opportunity with others. Forever | February 2015 14 Recognition This business fits perfectly Soaring Manager, Leyla Kemal, began her journey with Forever 11 years ago when she signed up as a Distributor to take advantage of the wholesale discount. She had no intention of building a business with Forever, but now has a flourishing team of international Distributors. We find out more. When Leyla Kemal first came across Forever, she was running her own accountancy firm with her husband. She had no inkling that her family-run business would lead to a life-changing and exciting career in direct selling. It all began when one of Leyla’s employees had been complaining of digestive discomfort and a client brought in a bottle of the Aloe Vera Gel because she thought it might help. She had amazing results and decided to sign up as a Distributor, simply so that she could buy the gel at a discounted price. Then a new product came out – Forever Freedom – and she thought Leyla might be interested in trying it, as she’d had some joint problems over the years after a car accident when she was a teenager. “I went along to a product launch,” recalls Forever | February 2015 Leyla, “and my first order was massive. I had something for my daughter, my husband and for me – it came to over “I thought everything was going to be easy, but there were some challenges.” £170. When they mentioned that you could join and get the products at a discounted price, I was interested, but I Soaring Manager // Leyla Kernal Sponsor // Tulin Sefika Yildirimlar didn’t really want to do the business. We already had our own business to run.” But once Leyla had tried the products for herself, she began to recommend them to friends and family and this soon naturally progressed into running a Forever business of her own. Her business began to gain momentum quite quickly and Leyla was a Manager within two months of signing up. Although Leyla’s journey to Soaring Manager may seem pretty straightforward, it was actually far from plain-sailing, and she met many challenges along the way. “I thought everything was going to be easy,” she explains, “but there were some challenges.” There were team members Recognition who were doing well but then stopped working the business, and there were times when it felt like everybody around her was excelling, except for her. But her determination and commitment meant that Leyla did not let setbacks like this put her off, she simply carried on working hard. She made up her mind to ensure she generated 4CCs every month and went to every business presentation to keep her motivated and on track with planning. Motivational literature has also played a part in Leyla’s success and she listens to authors like Jim Rohn and Tim Barrett in the car on her way to product launches, meetings and Success Expresses. “I read lots and lots of books. I don’t think there are any CDs or books that I haven’t already got!” she says. And Leyla is acutely aware of the benefits of having such a flexible career, especially when family commitments require your absolute attention. “I did slow down at the beginning of last year when my mum had a stroke,” she says. “I visited her in Cyprus four times last year. But I always tell myself when I’ve had time off that I have to work double hard to make up for it.” And Forever has allowed her the freedom to make the most of happier times too. “I enjoyed being able to take time off when my daughter was getting married. I went to get the dress for “I enjoyed being able to take time off when my daughter was getting married. I went to get the dress for her from Turkey – because I’m Turkish Cypriot and our weddings are really big!” 15 to build her growing empire. “Nothing gives you that sense of happiness like helping to change people’s lives. I’d like to touch many more people’s lives and the next goal on our list will be Diamond Sapphire Manager,” she says. Leyla also wants to continue to improve her health and wellbeing as she has seen a remarkable change in her condition since taking an interest in nutritional supplements. And last but not least, Leyla would like to make the most of the amazing travel opportunities Forever offers. “One of my ambitions is to see the world, so this business fits that perfectly,” she says. “I’d just like to say thank you to my fantastic team members, uplines and crosslines. It has been a pleasure to work with everyone.” her from Turkey – because I’m Turkish Cypriot and our weddings are really big!” She is also a fan of not having to work the standard nine-to-five day. “I can work in the afternoons and the evenings – I do hate to get up early in the morning!” But ultimately, it’s having the ability to empower people to improve their way of living that really drives Leyla to continue Forever | February 2015 16 Guest Article Top tips for promoting your business on social media By Darren Hignett, author of #BOOSTMYBUSINESS: 150 Quick and Easy Ways to Grow Your Business Using Social Media. Although social media is part of our everyday lives, it is still relatively new and many businesses struggle to use it effectively to grow. Here are some great techniques – as well as a few pitfalls to make sure you are effective: Link marketing activities Marketers often do campaigns in isolation. By integrating social media with other activities you can make those campaigns much more effective. For example: After a meeting, connect with people on LinkedIn Spend just two minutes after meeting a prospect connecting on LinkedIn to reinforce the relationship. You may also want to look them up on Twitter or Google+ and thank them for their time. Share email newsletters and trade show attendances on social media Increase sign up to newsletters by sharing the details and make attendance at events more effective by letting people know you are attending. You can also ‘warm up’ any conversation at an event by interacting with them on social media first. Social-ise your materials Add your social media profiles to business cards, brochures and email signatures so that people can connect with you and stay in touch. Make it easy to connect by including all of your social media details, such as your Twitter handle, etc. Interact Social media is social! Build up relationships with these ideas: Forever | February 2015 Follow people you want to do business with Not only will they get a notification that you have followed them, but it’s a fundamental start to getting to know a potential new client. Target 2-3 daily interactions Spend just five minutes per day interacting and over the year, you will have touched base with potentially more than 200 people who may be interested in buying from you, or joining your business. Content is king The best way to showcase your products and build trust is by posting great content. Here are some tips: Be visual People interact more with image posts. Make images stand out and make good use of any professional website templates available to you. Add value to your followers Giving top tips on what your followers are interested in means they can associate with and trust you. Post regularly People will begin to look out for your posts. There is also no point having hundreds of connections if you are not interacting and reminding them you are there. What to avoid Here is a quick list of items NOT to do on social media and why: Automate Facebook posts to Twitter Many people do it but in my opinion it doesn’t work. Not all Twitter users want to visit Facebook to see a post. Image posts on Facebook also come up as blank on Twitter with just a URL. It doesn’t add value. Ignore customer complaints Lots of hard work and good marketing can go down the drain by ignoring a customer issue. It’s not having a complaint that counts; it’s how well you respond! Post promotional posts all the time It’s a great way to alienate followers and lose them. Add value in what you post instead. Use images illegally It can be a costly mistake! I hope you have found these tips useful.

Hollie Porter Forever | February 2015 22 Recognition A new life Sapphire Managers, Erna and John Herteliu, came to the UK from Romania to build a new life together for their family. Carrie Service speaks to Erna about their story with Forever so far. Where are you both from and when did you come to the UK? Both John and I are from Transylvania, in the north of Romania. John came to the UK in April 2001 in the hope that I would follow him. After two years, I eventually said goodbye to my friends and my job and I came over here in Sept 2003 to start my new life alongside him. What did you do for a living before you joined Forever? I’m a qualified private family doctor, and John graduated in pastoral theology in Bucharest. But when he came over to the UK, he had to work as a self-employed painter and decorator. After coming here, Forever | February 2015 John gained many skills and professions, including plumbing, gas and electrical installation. I had to learn English from scratch and to pass a really demanding English exam in order to work here as a doctor. Why did you decide to join the business? I joined Forever back in Romania in January 1999 and became a Manager in September the same year. In the beginning, I fell in love with the products. My mum, son, and many of my patients began to experience amazing benefits from using them. Increasingly, I realised that with Forever I could change people’s quality of life too. I helped three couples to become Managers and they are all now Senior Managers. Forever was still Sapphire Managers // Erna and Ioan (John) Herteliu Sponsors // Marin & Veronica Mester a hobby for me when I arrived in the UK, although the income was good. I loved being a doctor – I was good at it. But my life changed dramatically after coming here. In March 2004, my mum passed away. Her death left such a hole in my life, she was my best friend. That same month I became a Senior Manager in Forever in the UK. The recognition at the Success Express was so warm that it brought some comfort to me. One of the last things my mum said to me was that under no circumstances should I leave Forever – the company had given us so much. With Forever I can have a fantastic quality of life, spend time with my family and still have the satisfaction of helping others. That day back in 2010 when I decided to work full time with Recognition Forever was my happiest day in the UK. I’d finally got the freedom I’d always longed for. You’ve achieved fantastic things with your business. What has been your proudest moment so far? We’ve qualified a couple of times for the Earned Incentive Level 1 and 2, and four times for Chairman’s Bonus Level 1 and many times for the Global Rally. These were all thrilling experiences, but our proudest moment is still every time a new Manager from our team gets up on stage to be recognised. Have you faced many challenges along the way? Life is full of challenges for everybody, I guess. But John and I can always see hope and look for the solution to any problems we face. Forever requires 23 “We’ve qualified a couple of times for the Earned Incentive Level 1 and 2, and four times for Chairman’s Bonus Level 1 and many times for the Global Rally.” How important are incentives to growing your business? you to invest your time, knowledge and energy in people and it is a real skill to be able to determine who is worth investing your time in. What are your goals for the future? How have you overcome these challenges? The short answer to this is: together. John has been a massive source of support. The incentives are so cleverly put together that each one opens the way for the next. They give you the chance to earn an amazing income, travel to some exotic places and strengthen the friendship and leadership within your team. My dream is to see every one of our Managers with a Chairman’s Bonus cheque. We want to grow and become better leaders for our team so that our Managers can become Eagle Managers – and us Diamond Eagle Managers! And as a mother and a grandmother, we want to leave a strong financial legacy for our family.

You can still donate to the cause via our dedicated text number. Text FLAW50 to 70070 followed by the amount you’d like to donate to Macmillan (between £1 and £10). A fresh, redesigned Business Presentation was launched at the end of January.

The presentation will be used at BPs hosted by individual areas and will also be available to view on foreverknowledge.info, and in printed format from Forever Webstore (forever.webstore. uk.com).
