5 Ways to Overcome Fear

Thursday, December 06, 2012

A common obstacle for many network marketers is the ability to overcome fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, fear of the unknown, fear of contacting -- whatever the fear stems from, it's something that the average person will face in his or her path to financial freedom.

As you build your Synergy business, try and incorporate these five ways to overcome fear in your life as you move toward your financial objectives.


1. ACKNOWLEDGE FEAR IS REAL

The key to overcoming fear isn't to get rid of it. Fear is a natural response that happens to everyone in one way or another. Fear is real and how you handle it will determine your ability to overcome it.

No one likes to fail, but it's essential to understand that what separates champions from losers is how they handle failure when it does happen. Acknowledge your fear, face it head on, and if you fail -- you learn, get back up, and try again.

2. THINK LIKE A TEXAN

For those living in Texas, you'll like this one. For those outside the Lone Star state, pay attention, we promise this is relevant.

Robert Kiyosaki shared this experience he had with his rich dad:

"I like Texans," my rich dad said. "In Texas, everything is bigger. When Texans win, they win big. And when they lose, it's spectacular."

"Texans like losing?" I asked.

"That's not what I'm saying," said rich dad. "Nobody likes losing. Show me a happy loser and I'll show you a loser in life. Rather, I'm talking about the Texan's attitude toward risk, reward, and failure. They live big. They're proud when they win, and they brag when they lose.

Robert Kiyosaki then goes on to talk about the lesson of the Alamo as an example of the Texans attitude. "The Alamo is a story of brave people who chose to fight, even when there wasn't any hope of winning. They chose to die instead of surrendering...and they got their butts kicked. But how did Texans handle this? They said, "Remember the Alamo!" They took a loss and made it a win."

"The Texans took a failure and turned it into inspiration...and a tourist destination that makes millions," said rich dad.

3. LEARN FROM FAILURE

You don't succeed in life without having failed at it first. The key to success isn't to not fail, rather it's to learn from your failures.

Each time you fail, you will be faced with two decisions. You can learn from your mistakes and let that inspire you, or you can not get back up and let it defeat you. For winners, losing serves as an inspiration. For losers, losing defeats them. It's your choice.

4. PLAY TO WIN

There's a big difference between hating to lose and being afraid to lose. Former NFL quarterback, Fran Tarkenton, said, "Winning means being unafraid to lose."

People who are afraid to lose seldom take the field. And when they do, they play to not lose rather than to win. Unfortunately, with this attitude, they rarely win.

If you want success, play to win.

5. BE FOCUSED

If you were to look at those who have been successful in life, you will notice a common theme. Number one, they have failed numerous times in their lifetime before reaching success and number two, they are focused in what they do. These people don't try their hand at multiple things, they stay in one spot.

Thomas Edison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan - what do these people have in common? They were all focused on their end goal. Did they ever fail? Absolutely! Did they ever quit? Absolutely not.

Whatever your goals may be, whatever course you choose to take - follow it until you reach your destination. Overcome your fear, know that obstacles will come and when they do, learn from them and know that tomorrow you will have an advantage from the lessons learned today.

Synergy Singapore Sponsors Kiyah-Splashh! Dragon Boat Team

Saturday, November 24, 2012


Wilson Ng Cheng Teck has been using ProArgi-9 Plus Active since he joined Synergy WorldWide in early January. As an active dragon boat enthusiast, he rowed with Kiyah-Splashh! Dragon Boat team and mentioned to his fellow teammates the unique benefits that this product can bring. He also recommended them to use ProArgi-9 Plus Active to enhance their performance at one of their major competitions—The PA Paddle Championship, 2012.

Organized by the People’s Association (PA), this annual large-scale event welcomes participants from Singapore’s Grassroots Organizations as well as the their various networks. The People’s Association is one of the statutory boards in Singapore.
 

Going beyond their boundaries
With younger and stronger rivals taking part in the contest, Kiyah-Splashh! is facing a huge challenge from their competitors. The team, which consists of both senior and young rowers, had undergone rigorous trainings to boost their stamina in the physical sport of dragon boating. The team also decided to adopt Wilson’s advice by taking ProArgi-9 Plus Active during their training sessions, to explore if this product can help push them beyond their boundaries.

On the day of competition, the team managed to outdo their stronger opponents with the help of ProArgi-9 Plus Active, scoring a silver medal in the hard-tough grand final. As the team celebrates their roaring success, they are very much grateful to Wilson and Synergy WorldWide Singapore.

One of the members in Kiyah-Splashh! is particularly fond of this product. As the team’s pacing rower, Jonathan Heng said ProArgi-9 Plus Active gave him the extra boost he needed to help the team clinch silver in the competition. "Drinking ProArgi-9 Plus Active gave me the last push, allowing me to exert enough energy to inch the front rival from second to third place by just 0.01 of a second in the final race," he exclaimed.

Encouraged by this commendable result, the team is now geared up to take on even tougher competitions with the help of this winning formula!

Better heart, better health
In conjunction with this event, Synergy Singapore and distributors set up booths to increase awareness among the local public about the importance of general physical health as well as the Synergy WorldWide brand. Participants were given free Liquid Chlorophyll samples.

Distributors also took the opportunity to introduce other products such as Maximum Protein, e9, Omega-3, NutriBurst, etc. Synergy foresees greater partnership possibilities in future to raise awareness of Synergy and our heart healthy products in Singapore.

About Kiyah-Splashh!
Kiyah-Splashh! is an independent, non-profit organisation which embodies the synergistic merger of 2 experienced dragonboat teams in Singapore, "Kiyah!" and "Splashh!".

Tracing its roots back to 1993, the team comprised mostly former rowers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) Dragonboat Team as well as the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Dragonboat Team. Over time, the team had evolved to maintain a neutral policy in its recruitment drive, welcoming any interested new rower to join the team.

Are your supplements safe?

Saturday, November 24, 2012

Due to our hectic and demanding lifestyles, we tend to forget just how important it is to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Stress, work, convenience and many other factors contributed to our poor choice of food and diet. Here, supplements offer the health benefits that would otherwise be lost due to poor diet.

In the United States alone, 65% of adult Americans (approximately 150 million) labeled themselves as supplement users, according to a 2009 survey conducted by Ipsos-Public Affairs for the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), Washington, D.C.

The importance of well-balanced diet through supplementation further dominated the minds of the consumers when the cost of healthcare continues to rise. Consumers become increasingly interested in taking control of their health. They want to feel empowered and to make decisions on their own.

Empowered, but at what cost?
But did you know that in the past four years, one in two inspections by the United States Food and Drugs Association (FDA) have turned up significant manufacturing practice violations for supplements? This startling statistic just so happens to be the highest rate of any FDA regulated industry for non-compliance.

In addition, in 2012, a total of 84 illegal products, such as energy and muscle gain products, were found to contain dangerous ingredients, including steroids, stimulants and hormones. All tested products were easily obtained from online and retail stores. In 2010, 35 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratories detected 4,818 findings of confirmed and suspected prohibited substances. And the most frightening aspect of this study is that such ingredients were not even listed on the product label.

The need for an Indicator of Quality & Compliance: NSF International
Hence, certification becomes a quintessential element when producing supplemental products. And one such organization dedicated itself to serve and protect human health—the NSF International.

NSF International is a Public Health and Safety Company. It is a non-profit, non-governmental organization committed to protecting and improving human health on a global scale. More importantly, the NSF International is the world leader in standards development, product certification, education, and risk-management for public health and safety.

In Synergy WorldWide, we partner with Nature’s Sunshine Products, and we invest a significant amount of money and resources in the quality guarantee of its products. And In 2010, Synergy WorldWide and Nature’s Sunshine Products received a NSF Good Manufacturing Certification from NSF International.

This is a crucial certification because it further demonstrates our commitment to quality. Nature’s Sunshine’s and Synergy WorldWide’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility also underwent extensive audits by NSF staff.

NSF personnel examined Nature’s Sunshine’s production equipment, policies and procedures, and manufacturing processes. To maintain this certification, Nature’s Sunshine will undergo a yearly NSF audit that will help ensure that we remain at the forefront of the nutritional supplement industry.

The importance of being NSF certified

Why the fuss over NSF certification? That’s because supplements manufactured in a NSF certified environment are safer supplements! This gives Synergy WorldWide a competitive advantage in the marketplace by:
  • Increasing our credibility: Because NSF is recognized worldwide and in numerous industries; 
  • Increased consumer confidence: NSP is in full compliance with the new US FDA regulations and;
  • FDA audit: We are prepared for any FDA audit at any time.
So, next time, when you are mixing up your ProArgi-9 Plus or taking a sip of Mistica, you can feel rest assured that you’re taking high-quality products that have been tried, tested, and approved!

Find that peace of mind in nowhere but in Synergy WorldWide!

The Power of Nitric Oxide

Wednesday, July 25, 2012

 
- A message from Rainer Boger, M.D. -
Nitric oxide (NO) is one of the smallest molecules in the human body, but like oxygen (O2), it plays an extraordinarily important role for maintaining a healthy life. Nitric oxide keeps arteries wide, so that oxygen can be easily delivered to all the organs where it is needed.

NO is produced, in many different cell types throughout the body, from the amino acid precursor, L-arginine. The conversion of L-arginine to NO makes it a very unique amino acid that is of essential nutritional importance.

The site of NO production determines its biological effects:
  • In the arteries, NO keeps blood flow high and keeps arteries smooth and flexible.
  • In the gut, NO enhances intestinal function and prevents obstipation.
  • In the airway system, NO helps keep air flowing freely to the lungs.
  • In the brain and nervous system, NO decreases pain sensation and contributes to good memory formation.
By enhancing NO production, L-arginine is able to promote all of these effects. Thus, it is no wonder that such a huge diversity of organ functions are positively affected by L-arginine supplementation. Some people may call it a wonder, but I call it the science behind L-arginine.

Indeed, people with all different kinds of health concerns have reported improvements in their health status while on regular L-arginine supplementation.

One true fact needs to be considered, though, when one contemplates about this broad variety of health benefits: None of them can be achieved if L-arginine levels in blood are not successfully elevated above “normal” for 24/7. Only combinations of L-arginine with L-citrulline have the biological potential to achieve this goal, and only ProArgi9+ has been scientifically confirmed to do this.

This product’s success is also explained by some of its additional ingredients that support ProArgi9+’s effects on stimulating NO:
  • Resveratrol, the powerful antioxidant contained in red wine, supports the biological actions of NO on cells by reducing toxic oxygen radicals that may not only destroy the NO molecule, but also cause severe harm to the cell itself.
  • Vitamin D3 has been known as a vitamin that is good for bone health; however, medical research in the last few years has revealed that it is also an important regulator of glucose and fat metabolism, of blood vessel function and cell growth.

Thus, the power of ProArgi9+ is in the quality and science coming with its ingredients.

Sincerely,
Rainer Boger, M.D.

ProArgi-9 Plus Single Servings now in house

Wednesday, July 04, 2012

Dan Norman, President, witnesses the first run
of Synergy's newest Single Serve packaging machine
Synergy WorldWide is committed to manufacturing the highest quality supplements on the market.

As part of this commitment, Synergy firmly believes in the old adage:

"If you want something done right, do it yourself."

Synergy WorldWide controls all its own product manufacturing and testing.

ProArgi-9+, Synergy's leading product, has always been manufactured in-house. However, up until now the packaging of its single serves has been performed third-party due to the lack of equipment.

In an ongoing effort to literally control every aspect of its manufacturing, Synergy has now invested in the necessary equipment to do this packaging in-house.

Dan Norman, President, was present to witness the machine's first run. "This is another testament to our commitment to quality," says Dan. "Not only does this speed up our manufacturing time for single serves, but it allows us to regulate its production along every step of the way."

By doing it ourselves, Synergy has total control of the production process. We make sure it's done right, because when it comes to your health, nothing else will do.

Heart Health Done Right - Omega-3

Saturday, June 30, 2012

The final product discussed in the Heart Health Done Right webinar is the powerful cardiovascular supplement, Omega-3 (Click here to view the webinar).
Omega-3 fatty acids are renowned for their proven heart health benefits. Rich in EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), Omega-3 is a natural triglyceride fish lipid concentrate containing essential fatty acids which are not produced by the body and can only be obtained through the diet.

As we continue to live in today’s fast-paced society, cholesterol has become a huge concern and keeping control of our cholesterol levels a big priority. Studies have shown that omega-3 contributes to the body’s ability to regulate the ratio of HDLs to LDLs. This important function plays a major role in sustaining normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels, therefore possibly reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.

View Research Scientist, Tad Turgeon as he discusses Synergy's Omega-3 and how it can protect the heart.



Omega-3 is available in Singapore and Hong Kong!

Slight change to enrollment screen on corporate website

Friday, May 25, 2012

Hello everyone,

We would like to give you a quick heads up on a slight change we’re making to the enrollment screen on the corporate websites.

We’ve received a lot of Team Member feedback about people not seeing all the enrollment options because they have to scroll down, so we’ve realigned the options to make them all visible without scrolling. I’ve included a screenshot below.

This will go live for all markets later today. If you have any questions, please call our respective customer service hotline.

Thanks!

Being the Standard

Thursday, May 24, 2012

What does the term high-quality really mean?

As it relates to the natural supplement industry we believe it means BEING the standard for everyone else to follow. It means knowing, understanding, and guaranteeing what your product is, does, and will do from now through the life of the product.

At Synergy WorldWide, along with Nature's Sunshine Products, we've set the standard and we invite all to follow. You see, when it comes to your health, we don't guess, we test. We guarantee.

In addition to producing the highest quality products, Synergy WorldWide and Nature's Sunshine are actively engaged in the industry's political front by being members of the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA).

The UNPA is an association of dietary supplement and functional food companies that share a commitment to provide consumers with natural health products of superior quality, benefit and reliability.

As a member of this alliance, we work with the UNPA to carry out its core mission, which is to help assure the full and proper implementation and enforcement of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA).

This includes a suite of laws and regulations that support DSHEA, such as GMP regulations, adverse event reporting systems, analytical method development, control of steroids masquerading as supplements and international quality management protocols.

Synergy WorldWide's membership with the UNPA is another testament to Synergy's dedication to offering you the highest quality supplements in the world.

Highest Quality Ingredients

Wednesday, May 02, 2012

Our quality begins with our ingredients. Each supplier is pre-screened, their processes are tested, and they must send samples of ingredients for us to test so we can make sure their tests match ours.

Each supplier is given the required specifications for the raw materials we want. Once accepted, vendors are constantly under review: we track performance and provide them with monthly feedback on timeliness, rejections, responsiveness, and anything else that may affect their ability to supply high quality ingredients.

In addition, we regularly audit our vendors. Each year we personally visit the facilities of our suppliers and perform an on-site audit.We have dozens of suppliers and rotate through them, visiting 40–50 sites per year.

Even though we work closely with our suppliers, we sometimes find that a batch of raw materials doesn’t meet our standards. When this happens, the materials are rejected and sent back to the supplier at their cost.We annually reject about five percent of the raw materials we receive.

The ProArgi-9+ formula contains highest quality ingredients such as pomegranate, ribose, xylitol, and vitamins B6, and B12. Together, these ingredients are nutritional ingredients carefully selected for the cardiovascular system and heart.

Based on Nobel Prize-winning research, the l-arginine in ProArgi-9 Plus is of highest quality and has been validated by thousands of clinical studies.

Product Storage At Synergy, we invest so much in our products because we want you and your clients to experience real results when taking them. Proper storage plays a key role in making sure those positive results are achieved.

Certain products require specific storage conditions in order to maintain potency, so we have constructed special climate-controlled warehousing areas for particular products. Four different temperature "zones" have been designated. They are the freezer (18 degree Fahrenheit), refrigerator (38 degree Fahrenheit), controlled storage (68 degree Fahrenheit) and a fully air-conditioned warehouse for items that don't require any other storage conditions.

Proper product storage actually begins with our Quality Assurance department. They work closely with raw material vendors to make sure we understand the appropriate storage temperature for each raw material. Our computerized tracking system then makes sure each item is kept where it belongs.


Packaging
Synergy utilizes eight separate packing lines. Here are a few examples of their capabilities and capacities:

100-count line: Average 22,000 bottles of products per eight-hour shift.
Queen line: Responsible for the production of almost 60 products packaged in bottles of various sizes.
King and Ace lines: Handle tablets and capsules and are capable of filling both our smallest and largest bottles.
Ace line: Can package as many as 1 million tablets or capsules per day.

Running so many different lines also gives us the flexibility to change production schedules to meet customer demand.

Bosch Encapsulator
Eight encapsulating machines manufacture up to 150,000 capsules per hour each, led by our top-of-the-line Bosch 2500 encapsulator. Its computerized control system monitors the machine's internal operations and even checks its own quality.


Equipped with self-weigher, it randomly weighs capsules and compares them with pre-programmed specifications- if capsules are found to be out of tolerance, the computer self-adjusts to refine the process. If the error persists, the machine shuts itself down and alerts an operator.

Lot Numbers
Synergy's recording and documentation systems are similar to what you would find in the pharmaceutical industry.

To begin, lot numbers are assigned to every raw material that arrives at our plant and every finished product manufactured here. That number is recorded whenever an item is used or tested for any purpose. Using the lot number, Synergy can track a raw material or product throughout the production process and know its exact location and status at all times.


Thanks to this system, the lot number of a finished product provides a wealth of information: when the product was made, what materials were used, the origins of those materials, QA test results, which equipment was used, and even who operated the equipment when the product was made. Lot numbers also allow us to track down samples of a product should post-production quality study required.

Synergy uses a computerized tracking system to manage our immense inventory and reduce the chance of human error. We use a First In, First Our (FIFO) system, which helps minimize costs (no material is allowed to sit too long) and maximize efficiency (every batch of product is fresh and potent).
The computerized system also helps make sure each is stored in appropriate area of the warehouse. Certain products and materials required specific conditions to maintain their potency and effectiveness, and special areas of the warehouse have been constructed to accommodate those needs.

Part 5 coming soon...

Air Quality
Synergy’s manufacturing facility is built to limit every possible form of contamination, right down to the air inside the building. A special air filtration system helps eliminate airborne contaminants throughout the facility by passing 100 percent outside air through high-efficiency filtration and into the processing areas.Air is then exhausted through a dust-collection system and is not re-circulated into any other areas of the building.Pressure differentials are also used in certain areas to control the airflow and limit the potential of cross-contamination.
 
Liquid Processing
A sophisticated tank system, which includes three 750-gallon mixing tanks, handle the production of Synergy WorldWide’s liquid supplements. These tanks can be sealed to ensure purity and eliminate contamination, and they increase mix efficiency to provide an even, consistent blend.Their large size also gives us greater production capabilities as well.

This is a Clean in Place (CIP) system, meaning it uses a self-contained, automatic process to clean itself. Other systems have to be torn down and the individual parts cleaned separately—the CIP system is more efficient and the cleaning process has been validated by our quality assurance personnel.

For example, we process Mistica using the most sophisticated liquid processing system in the industry. This enhances both the flavour and the beneficial elements of the Brazilina acai fruit, including anthocyanins, essential fatty acids, amino acids, and plant sterols.
Tablet Production and Coating
Four tablet presses run five days a week with two shifts per day. Tablets are closely monitored to ensure proper processing and quality.Operators regularly test the weight, hardness and dissolution of tablets to make sure they meet specifications.

Three high-velocity Manesty presses turn out more than 75,000 tablets an hour, and one Stokes 550 press produces another 20,000 tablets per hour. Presses are chosen based on the production specifications for each product.

The presses receive raw material from the floor above and compress it using two tons of pressure. Compressed tablets are collected and taken to the coating room, where two 60-inch Accelacoaters spray the tablets with a coating solution as they’re rotated in a pan.Tablet coating is a delicate process, so operators closely monitor each step.

Bin Charging and Mixing
Bin charging begins in the Issuing Room where quality-tested, approved raw materials are measured. Each ingredient passes through a conical mill, which ensures that any clumps are sifted into fine powder. The conical mills empty into a tube leading to a collection bin.

Once all of the raw materials for a formula are loaded into the bin, it is weighed and compared to specifications to verify that the formula is complete. The bin is then sealed with an airtight lid to keep out dust or any other airborne particles as it is transported within the facility. This not only protects against foreign contamination, it prevents cross-contamination from product to product and ensures our formulas are pure and clean from start to finish.

Sealed bins are taken to the mixing room where they are attached to the bin hoist and mixer. The bin is raised and gently rolled by the mixer to create an even blend. Tooling in the lid of the bin helps to stir the materials as the bin is rolled. This method provides excellent mixing efficiency and preserves the integrity of individual granules.

Water Purification
Water is a key ingredient in many products, and Synergy WorldWide has outfitted our manufacturing facilities with state-of-the-art water purification systems to support our liquid line. Reverse osmosis technology guarantees that the water in our liquid products is of the highest quality.

We use a four-stage purification system:


1. Culinary water is routed through a carbon bed filtration system to remove chlorine and any other chemicals that may have been added to the water supply.
2. A water softening system reduces the mineral content of the water.

3. The softened water passes through a reverse osmosis water purifier and an ultraviolet sterilizer to    remove any remaining impurities.

4. The finished water is sent to a sterilized 1,200-gallon storage tank for safe keeping.

This purified water is routed through a continuously circulating loop that runs throughout the plant.Before it enters the distribution loop, it’s filtered again by a 1.0 micron pre-filter, another UV sterilizer, and a 0.2 micron absolute filter.This pure, filtered water is used in all of our liquid products and for our cleaning needs within the plant.

Part 3 coming!

The best testing in the industry requires more than just bright minds adn willing hands- it means giving those great researchers the machinery they need to be successful. Synergy WorldWide has invested heavily in state-of-the-art testing equipment to maintain our position as the quality leader.

QA Labs
For quality assurance labs-herb, vitamin, mineral and microbiological testing-each contains millions of dollars worth of equipment that is contantly being upgraded whenever new, pertinent technology arises. We purchased a new Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP/MS)-at a cost of nearly $190,000-that features a temperature-controlled spray chamber and an octopole reaction system (ORS). The new ICP/MS easily handles our large sample volume, including finished product, in-process, raw material and Prop 65 sample testing. It also requires less solvent and generates less waste for a more favorable environment impact.

Bin System
Our production facilties feature an L. B. Bihle bin mixing system. The bin system consists of four conical mills, 40 mixing bins, a PM 2000 bin mixer, an HS 2000 bin hoist, a pilot bin mixer with 300-L abd 50-L bins for development purposes, and a two station bin washing system with HEPA-filtered bin drying rooms.

This pharmaceutical-grade bin system is designed to help eliminate the possibility of direct and cross contamination. The stainless steel bins reduce exposure and the need to transfer materials from one container to another, and they reduce the amount of handling our products experience.

We employ two sizes of bins, 800-L and 1800-L. After use, each bin is cleaned in special bin-washing rooms. Using filtered water, we wash each bin with detergent and pure water rinses. Clean bins are then taken to a specially constructed drying room, which is heated to 140 degree Fahrenheit. HEPA-filtered air eliminates the chances of contamination as the bin dry.

More cutting-edge technologies in the next post!
