Living Better Longer
After traveling to dozens of countries around the world and meeting thousands of people along the way, there seems to be one thing they all have in common: People want to live life to the fullest - and for as long as possible. I find people asking the questions, "Ten or twenty years from now, can I still look and feel as good as I do today?" "Is there a way to control my financial future?" and "I want more out of life…is there a way I can make a real contribution to the world?"
The answer is yes, and it's a simple matter of learning to live better longer with the products and opportunities offered by Nu Skin Enterprises.
We're Living Longer, but Are we Living Better? The facts are indisputable - people are living longer than ever. Modern medicine is extending our lifespans significantly. But people are realizing that there is a big difference between living extra years and living those extra years to the fullest. The two things people fear the most are not having enough money to retire and having to live years, or decades, in poor health. The old saying is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Since people are living longer, it's more important than ever to take care of internal and external health, maintain a sharp mind and positive outlook, and have a plan for a sound financial future.
Expert Strategies for Longevity Living better, longer requires a well-rounded, balanced approach to longevity-a healthy lifestyle, responsible choices, and a positive, passionate attitude. Leading experts in the fields of medicine, psychology, and finance have independently recognized a number of basic strategies for living better, longer. The following list is a compilation of ten of these key strategies:
- Be proactively involved with your health
- Face up to what you eat
- Enjoy life... be an optimist
- Engage in life-long learning
- Exercise and control your weight
- Stay connected
- Manage stress
- Build financial independence, be fiscally fit
- Protect your personal environment
- Be kind to your skin
Nu Skin Enterprises is the Leading Resource for Living Better Longer
Endeavoring to be a force for good in the world has meant requiring more of ourselves and offering more to an ever-growing community of Nu Skin Enterprises distributors. This guiding philosophy has led us, through a tireless pursuit of quality and innovation, to develop and provide the tools necessary to enable people to live better. And live better longer.
To this end, Nu Skin Enterprises has become the pre-eminent resource for health and longevity. What other company is better positioned to take advantage of these significant demographic trends and needs? We accomplish this by bringing together four key elements.
A Superior, Proven Business Opportunity Provides Financial Freedom Over its 20-year history, the Nu Skin Enterprises' global business opportunity has helped thousands of people around the world reach their financial and lifestyle goals. In fact, in 2003 the company will pay out nearly $400 million in commissions to its distributor force. And our goal is to become the leading direct selling company in the world by paying out more money in commissions to our distributors than any other company pays to their distributors. To accomplish this goal, we need to be at least 2.5 times larger than we are today. And at that level, we will pay out $1 billion each year in distributor commissions. We will achieve this goal by continuing to innovate in our business opportunities to maximize the likelihood and degree of distributor success.
Three Product Divisions Offer Total Wellness Scientists are increasingly recognizing that the road to long-lasting health and longevity incorporates knowledge from the fields of health, nutrition, dermatology and even psychology and lifestyle management.

Force for Good Values Guide an Enriching and Uplifting Culture Nu Skin Enterprises is guided by its mission to be a force for good in the world. This is evident in the creation of the Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation. Formed in 1996, the non-profit organization helps provide a better world for children. In 2002, The Nu Skin Force for Good Foundation donated approximately $700,000 to various projects around the world. In addition, Nu Skin's Epoch line of personal care products donates $.25 of each product sold to the foundation. To further its mission, in 2002 Nu Skin Enterprises launched the Nourish the Children initiative, developing an innovative model for distributing nourishing Vitameal food to starving children. In just the first year, over 5 million meals have been donated to children in places like Malawi, Indonesia, Haiti, Iraq, Mexico and Guatemala.
It is personally rewarding to be part of Nu Skin Enterprises. Now when I meet with people, not only can I say that I am living better longer, but I can help improve people's lives by continuing to innovate in our business opportunities and product categories, by promoting an enriching and uplifting culture of which we can all be proud, and by executing with excellence in all that we do to engender and be worthy of the trust distributors place in us.
