New Global Expansion Team Members

We congratulate you on your efforts to qualify

for the Global Expansion Team and wish you

continued success in your Herbalife business.

My wife Kay and I found Herbalif

e as customers in July 2003 when I was stressed out and overweight, buried in a

corporate career. Never having to lose weight before, to my surprise I very easily went on to lose 16 kgs on the

products. Kay lost 12kgs and her

health

improved significantly.

I started my 'job' career as a Civil Engineer. After eight years I left engineering when I was appointed as a Marketing

Manager of a large international corporate. Three years later I was promoted to Operations Manager of a

division of that Corporate. As I climbed the corporate ladder, the company effectively took control of my life

and deprived my family of a husband and father. So in December 2003, I quit! After resigning I looked more closely at the

Herbalife marketing plan and quickly saw that there was no 'box' in Herbalife that limits one's potential! We then immediately

qualified to the Supervisor level and went full-time in February 2004, determined to not be a 'statistic' in Herbalife! The journey

since has been incredible!

After a 12 year corporate career, I now know what it is like to live a life structured around those most important to me,

and work in a positive, constructive environment everyday, living the Herbalife vision of "Changing peoples lives!". For

the first seven months I did the business in a very corporate way, refusing to be 'teachable', doing everything I was

good at instead of what was duplicatable. This was a hard lesson, and then decided to simply "do what the successful

people do in Herbalife", i.e. go to every meeting, put on a jacket and tie, get involved at the meetings with logistics and

training, learn from those who had been before me, etc, and within a year of that decision, we qualified Global

Expansion Team!

With the massively heightened conviction after seeing the REAL BIGGER PICTURE of what Herbalife offers a person

at Herbalife's 25th Anniversary Extravaganza in Atlanta in April 2005, our business has grown significantly, and we look forward

to the exciting future this opportunity makes possible for everyone!

I want to thank Kay and my children, Jenna and Zac, for their love, support, encouragement and especially their

understanding of the sacrifices we've needed to make as a family to build our organisation, and to thank our amazing

team for everything they have brought to our lives, and without who this would not have been possible! Thank you to Sally Thorp

for giving us this opportunity when she did, and to Cheryl and Phil Jones, Anthony and Mary Larter, Rob and Sue Green, and

Jean and Chris Thompson for all they have each given us on our Herbalife journey so far! And finally, thanks to southern Africa's

TAB team, Herbalife Corporate, and all those fellow distributors who have taught us and encouraged us! May you all soon

achieve your next level!
