I wanted to let you know about an exciting development about our conference calls and the website. Last Conference Call we also offered the PowerPoint that Dr John Llaguno used for his training presentation live on the Internet.
Now that same PowerPoint - with an audio recording of Dr John's presentation - is available on the TIENS website under the What's New tab!
When you first open the PPT it will ask for your name a couple of times, but just ignore this and wait for Dr John to start.
I hope you will find this very useful in your personal and team training!

Washington, DC
Yesterday and today I have been attending a legal affairs conference hosted by the US Direct Selling Association. It was held in Alexandria, Virginia, just outside Washington, DC.
We heard from legal experts, legal advisors from other DSA companies, and representatives from the Federal Trade Commission [FTC].
We were able to review some of the issues affecting our industry, such as what kind of claims we can or cannot make about our products, how we can help understand the legitimacy of our business model, and what Federal and State regulations we have to comply with. These are issues I am quite familiar with and TIENS operates well within the regulations that affect us.
Today I am flying to New York, where I will be joining with our ICs in New York on Sunday.
All the best

Passing of Paul Theriault
It is with great sadness that I announce to you that Paul Theriault, Vice President of Tiens Group, passed away on Thursday night after a long and valiant battle with cancer. Paul has been a VP of TIENS for several years, responsible for much of TIENS expansion in Europe, Asia, North and South America. Prior to joining TIENS Paul was the President of the Direct Sellers Association of Canada.
It was at the DSA that I first met Paul and worked with him on the DSA Board of Directors. It was Paul that invited me to come to TIENS and help build the business in Canada and the USA.
Paul fought his challenge with cancer every step of the way with every avenue that he could, and always with a positive forward-looking approach.
He was very respected by President Li and the many at TIENS that new him.
He will be sadly missed.

GM MESSAGE OCT 2008
Dear TIENS Consultants!
I hope you have had a chance to read the first edition of our new monthly newsletter – the TIENS Connection! I am pleased that TIENS North America will have this new publication to communicate with you on the latest news, views, events, training, and recognition at TIENS.
Jennifer Zoller is our new Marketing & Communications Coordinator and the editor of our newsletter. She has done a terrific job putting this first edition together for you.
We will make this newsletter available to you in as many ways as we can – printed copies will go out in orders, they will be available in Markham and Everett at reception, an electronic copy will be on the website, and you can request more copies through Customer Service. This newsletter can be a great tool for you as well in introducing your prospects to the TIENS company, products, and opportunity.
Make sure you take a moment to read our feature called “What’s Your Story” which this month features Yelena Gubarik from Seattle. By the time you read this she will have come back from her all-expense paid trip to our Global TIENS Convention in Tianjin, China! I’m sure she will have so many amazing experiences to share with her family and her TIENS family when she gets back.
Let me share some thoughts on the great opportunity we have in associating with TIENS and being part of the Direct Selling Industry. We often talk about the opportunity to achieve financial freedom, to improve our health, and to share our achievements with others. But what is it that really makes the difference for everyone as they get involved in this business? Isn’t it the chance to make a difference – to make a difference in our personal lives, to make a difference in our families, to help others overcome health and financial challenges, and to experience the true rewards that come from doing something worthwhile.
Ultimately, health is wealth. If we can be healthy - physically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually – and help others do the same, true wealth will come to us, and in more ways than just financially. This is the true test of any worthwhile endeavour!
With all my best wishes for your health!

Product Safety
Many of you are aware of the melamine contamination of dairy products in China. As you can expect, the FDA in the US and the CFIA [Canadian Food Inspection Agency of Health Canada]in Canada are continously monitoring this situation in order to prevent any concerns with imported food.
We at TIENS are pleased to confirm that no TIENS products sold in North America contain any dairy products ingredients from China. All of our products that contain any milk or milk protein ingredients are sourced right here in Canada and are safe to use.
Best regards
Peter

October!
October seems to be a month that often reflects challenges in the economy and on the stock markets. I well remember Black Monday in October 1987 when we all thought we had seen a stock market crash like the one of 1929. It's true that it represented a large correction in the market, and housing prices were at their peak, only to go down or remain flat for the next few years. It was the year after I had started with Bank of America in the foreign exchange trading department. Despite the doom and gloom the next ten years saw growth and more prosperity than before.
Today the stock market reacted again to the global financial crisis with another major drop, and again we are witnessing economic challenges that will take some time to clear away.
But in all the last 15 years the Direct Selling industry has shown growth each year, and especially when times are more difficult. Direct Selling and TIENS still represent the best home-based low investment opportunity out there to supplement your income, something we all could use a little bit more of.
Now is the time to put extra effort into your TIENS business and share the business opportunity with others!
