Two more Team Members will receive a €1200 bonus with their monthly commissions! Bostjan and Irena Pilej (Team EBALI), Team Directors from Slovenia, and Reidun Lydersen Dalheim, a Pearl Executive from Norway,  are the first in their regions to achieve this tremendous goal.

To qualify for Go Elite 10, you must sponsor 10 Elite Honors qualifiers. Reidun surpassed this goal by sponsoring 11! Team EBALI and Reidun proved their teams’ strength through this achievement. Not only are they bringing in new customer and distributor volume, they are supporting their team to do the same. This duplication is the ticket to success with Synergy WorldWide, and through Elite Honors, the pathway to success is clear. Congratulations Team EBALI and Reidun on your great success!

Team EBALI

Bostjan and Irena prepared their teams for Elite Honors before the program launched at Summit 2015 by explaining the new earnings model and stressing the importance of building a customer program.  With an educated team  and everything in place, Bostjan and Irena went into November shooting for Go Elite 10. November began with a strategic meeting where Bostjan and Irena mapped out how to achieve their goal and made sure their team was on the same page. They have been the drivers behind Slovenia’s Elite Honors growth from 15 qualifiers in September to 28 qualifiers in November.

“We are constantly telling our Team Members about Elite Honors and that’s the right way to build a stable business,” Irena said. “The Go Elite promotion is just the cherry on the cake. You have to make the monthly Elite Honors requirements habits. The habitual behaviors will lead you to success.”

Earning a Go Elite promotion requires offering daily support, which is why Bostjan and Irena spent many days traveling to a number of Slovenian cities. To Bostjan, support means reminding a Team Member of their dreams, helping them create impactful Synergy presentations, and scheduling individualized trainings with those who need a little extra help. Ultimately, Team EBALI’s great leadership and support made their Go Elite 10 achievement possible.

Reidun Lydersen Dalheim

When Reidun verbally committed to be the first Team Member in Norway to sponsor 10 Elite Honors qualifiers, there was no turning back.

Reidun has been a competitor her entire life. She loves sports—everything from skiing to car racing—and though she doesn’t brave the slopes or streets anymore, she still finds a way to let her competitive side shine. Synergy drives her to be competitive with herself, to push her limits. Luckily, roadtrips are one of Reidun’s favorite things, making it no problem for her to drive all over northern Norway to support distributors and share Synergy’s opportunities.

“I asked all the people I sponsor if they could do a job for me,” Reidun said. “I wrote up a plan for those who committed and then tracked their progress every day. You have to talk to a lot of people often to make your goals happen.”

In order to achieve Go Elite 10, Reidun said you must work with your heart and make others’ successes more important than your own. Reidun loves Synergy WorldWide and plans to work for the rest of her life. The €1200 she earned through Go Elite will be put toward her Christmas vacation to Thailand to see her son.

Het Elite Honors-programma stroomlijnt de manier waarop Synergy WordWide-bedrijven werken, terwijl het beloningspotentieel voor elk teamlid wordt gemaximaliseerd. Teamleden die het programma volgen, zien telkens weer de extra beloningen die mogelijk worden gemaakt door de Go Elite-promotie, terwijl ze gewoon blijven doen wat ze altijd al deden: werken aan het opbouwen van hun Synergy-bedrijf.

Hieronder staan de namen van al onze Europese leden die zich in November hebben geplaatst! We feliciteren alle hardwerkende teamleden die zich continu en onvermoeibaar blijven inzetten voor het succes van hun Synergy-bedrijf.

The Holiday season is upon us, which means parties, gifts and spending quality time with loved ones. Don’t let your Synergy business take a back seat.

Here are a few creative ways to market your Synergy business while expressing thanks to your loyal Synergy customers.

Send holiday cards

It’s a great way to let customers know you appreciate their business and to establish connections with potential Team Members and customers. Be sure to include genuine well wishes that are unique to the recipient.

Share Synergy samples

In addition to sending holiday cards, you may also consider sending Synergy samples. This is a great way to introduce customers to new products they might not have tried yet. You can also give samples as stocking stuffers. Get creative and tie a few samples together with a festive bow or gift them in a small holiday bag.

There are many speculations as to why people seem to start sniffling and coughing more often as soon as the cold air sets in. One Yale University study announced in January 2015 that cold wintry air weakens the nose’s immune defenses, allowing the bacteria and viruses lurking in every corner to more easily creep into your body.

Prior to this study, many hypothesized that the increase in sickness had to do with more people staying indoors and sharing breathing space. While this theory might be partially true, it’s proven that cooler weather does have a crippling effect on immune systems. While there is no way to prevent winter from coming, there are ways to help the body fight against unwelcome intruders.

Load up on Vitamin C and D

While all vitamins play a role in health maintenance, Vitamin C and D are most notable for their ability to strengthen connective tissue in bones and attack the viruses themselves, both of which lead to fewer doctor visits in chilly months. Make sure to add citrus fruits to your daily diet for Vitamin C, and brave the cold to get some sunshine for a healthy dose of Vitamin D.

Cook with Herbs and Spices

Keep your spice rack stocked this winter. Studies show that garlic, ginger, black peppercorn, cayenne pepper, allspice, curry, and turmeric, all contain properties that strengthen immune defenses.

Maintain a Healthy Gut

The gastrointestinal tract houses a substantial part of the immune system. This being said, an important part of a strong immune system is strong digestive organs. A healthy diet and adequate sleep play a major role in a healthy gut, but probiotics, also known as “good bacteria,” are touted for supporting healthy gut function. Probiotics can be taken as a supplement, but are most commonly recognized as a component found in yogurt.

Eat, Drink, Sweat, Sleep, Repeat

Taking care of your immune system requires all of the same steps it takes to sustain total body wellness. Feed your body whole foods, choose water over soda, exercise moderately a few times per week, sleep 7-8 hours per night, and make each of these healthy choices habits.

Don’t stress!

Unfortunately, no one is immune to stress. However, the most dangerous type of stress that affects your body’s systems is chronic stress, or stress that results in high levels of the hormone cortisol. This stress hormone has a weakening effect on the immune system and can really put a damper on your winter plans. So remember to relax, don’t sweat the small stuff, and enjoy a flu-free, cold-free winter.

On a surprisingly cold and windy day in Tempe, Ariz., 51-year-old Synergy Team Member Xavier Marin plunged into Tempe Town Lake with hundreds of elite athletes to compete in his first IRONMAN triathlon in 10 years.

“The start of the swim is crazy for everyone,” Xavier said. “There is so much anxiety, so much energy. People are grabbing each other. When I finished the swim I couldn't wait to get on my bike. I felt strong when I was biking and steady when I was running.”

Thirteen hours and 11 minutes after he took off from the starting line, Xavier triumphantly crossed the IRONMAN Arizona finish line, which means he swam 2.4 miles, biked 112 miles, and ran 26.2 miles. Racers aren’t allowed any outside support, including headphones, which makes completing an IRONMAN both a mental and physical fete., The 6 ½ pounds Xavier lost on race day proves it.

Despite the sleet and rain, Xavier was able to keep the pace he maintained in the half Ironman he completed a few months before. He was even able to shave two hours off of his best time, proving that optimal health is attainable at any age. As a public speaker, life coach, general contractor, and father of two, Xavier knows how to take action to bring a vision to life.

“It was a year ago that I committed myself to be in my best shape of my life,” Xavier said. “I’ve been in great shape in the past, but I wasn’t into nutrition. I trained through the year with SLMsmart Meal Replacement, the V3 System, and e9.”

In his late 40s, Xavier said he was slower than he had ever been and figured old age was beginning to set in. When Xavier began taking Synergy products, he discovered improved endurance, the energy to push his body to go faster, and a timely recovery after training, which led him to believe that he was missing key nutritional elements in earlier training.

It was high priority that Xavier packed e9 and ProArgi-9+ for race day. He took ProArgi-9+ and e9 before the race and then every three hours throughout the 13-hour stint.

“The body is an amazing thing,” Xavier said, “you just have to take care of it. Mentally, people start telling themselves they are getting older. Before the race, people were asking, ‘Are you sure you can get this done?’ And I told them there is no way I’m not going to get it done.”

Xavier will add his Ironman victory to the many stories he uses to inspire others to take action on the things they want out of life.

“These products provide real benefits to professional and recreational athletes," Xavier said. "If you are an athlete that wants a cutting edge, Synergy products will help you sustain your energy levels, endure, and recover.”

The holidays are upon us and that means cold weather, family, and endless food and goodies. With all of that tempting food surrounding you, it can be hard to stay on track with healthy eating. Here are a few tips that will help you make it through the holidays without sacrificing your healthy habits or the fun of socializing with family and friends.

Recipe Remix
If you’re baking during the holidays, save yourself some calories with healthy swaps. Instead of oil, use applesauce (ratio 1:1), skip the sugar and add stevia (1:3/4), and ditch regular milk and use almond milk (1:1). Synergy lovers have found that SLMsmart Meal Replacement is a great substitute for flour in a variety of SLMsmart recipes created by you. While using all of these healthy swaps at once will make your cookies and treats better for you, we recommend trying one swap per recipe, so have fun and start experimenting!

Stay Hydrated
Social schedules packed with holiday parties and fun outings with the family leaves little room to think about your water intake, especially when there is an abundance of sugary hot drinks and cocktails that sound much more appealing. However, most people don’t realize that many food cravings are actually water cravings. By staying properly hydrated, not only will your skin look amazing in holiday photos, you will be able to avoid becoming a victim of the endless desserts that show up on your doorstep. And while you’re pouring yourself a glass of refreshing, much-needed water, add a scoop or packet of ProArgi-9+ for even more far-reaching health benefits.

Plan Ahead
If you’re heading to a holiday party and already feeling hungry, try eating a sensible meal before arriving. This will allow you to pick and choose what treats you really want instead of eating anything and everything in sight because you are desperate to ease your hunger. Also, if you are bringing a dish to share, go or a healthy and filling option that you know fits within your diet goals.

Moderation
The holiday season is a time that should be spent with loved ones, not fretting over your nutrition goals. Don’t beat yourself up if you eat an extra cookie after dinner or add another helping of potatoes to your plate. Remind yourself of your goals and remember that tomorrow is another day to start again. While this won’t keep the weight off, it will definitely make the holidays more enjoyable for you while you work toward a healthier New Year.

Happy holidays!
