“If you are missing passion in this business, it is quite frankly probably because you are too self-centered. You are thinking with a mindset that says, ‘What’s in this for me?’ I think it is a little hard to get passionate about yourself and helping yourself; but isn’t it easy to get excited and passionate about helping your friends, your family and other people! When you can help someone else achieve their dreams, it suddenly is very easy to get passionate about wanting to help others…in fact, you just want to get everyone to listen and catch the vision because you KNOW you can help them. Now, you’re talking passion. And it fuels energy you never knew you had because you just are so…well, passionate about what you are doing!” Steve Lund
“We are all looking to better ourselves. If we’re not, we should be. With that mindset, let me impress upon you that no matter in what endeavor you are pursuing, it all evolves from becoming a better ‘inside person,' embracing opportunities to develop qualities and virtures that are within you but not yet fully developed. I know of no better vehicle to develop such qualities than network marketing. It gives you the tools to become your best while at the same time helping others to do the same. That is a force for good!” Sandie Tillotson
“Staying focused does not have to be boring. It does require self-discipline but the secret is that you design your business so that it is enjoyable as you go, that there is fun along the way.” Blake Roney
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” Mark Twain
“One of the most frustrating sentences that somebody struggling with this business, can hear is, ‘You just need to be more passionate.’ It causes them to look inside of themselves for that dial. ‘How do I turn up the passion’ dial here. How do you become more passionate about something you’re not passionate about? What we know is that one of the Success Formula elements is that you gotta be passionate about what you’re doing or else you’re not going to be able to give it full energy! And so, in this business, if you don’t feel passion, then you probably don’t understand the business. This is a business about helping other people. Your friends, your family, your associates are worthy of your passion, of your very best efforts.” Steve Lund
“The evolution of our own success does not stop with us. It becomes an example for our children, and that formula for success then can become generational.” Sandie Tillotson
“Everyone has fears. I’ve never met anyone who did not have fears. I have fears. Public speaking is one of them and is a good example of what I do to overcome the fear or at least manage it. It is all about positive thinking for me. I have to make the voice with the positive thoughts talk louder than the one with the scary negative thoughts. I use music. It is incredibly powerful in my life to help me get in a positive mindset, good mood, optimistic and ready to go. Everyone’s tools will be different but whatever you use, for me it is often music, it still comes down to replacing negativity and fear with positive thinking and optimisim. Even how you view an experience afterwards, the same principles apply. If only one person shows up to your business opportunity presentation, is it a failure? Not if you focus on that one person and you know you did your best in offering them something to improve their life. Not if you value the experience of getting to practice your presentation and learn from any bumps. It’s all good.” Blake Roney
“I stay active in this business to make sure that the dream doesn’t begin to disintegrate in some way, or that people don’t lose track of what’s important. I stay so that I’m doing something that isn’t just selfish, because I think that a selfish life just turns into an unhappy life.” Blake Roney
"Determine never to be idle...It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." Thomas Jefferson
“You have to do more than just tell someone you care about them and want to help them be successful. It requires doing your best and being the best you can be.” Sandy Tillotson
“I’ve seen lots and lots of people come through the business who have all the talent in the world and who would be great at this but, a month into it, they’re distracted and off they go to the next thing, because it’s just more fun. It seems to me like everything on earth requires the ability to stay on track, consistently working, working, making your entrepreneurial endeavor come true.” Blake Roney
“If somebody comes into our business and is struggling with an issue of self-worth, I would say a couple things to them. One is, “You’re confused and deluded, because you are of great worth.” I believe that socially, I believe that intellectually, I believe that religiously. That, every person has enormous worth. Secondly, I would say, this is a perfect place for somebody like that to come and work through that confusion. The Nu Skin family is sort of self-selective. People come here both because they have that need of confusion about their self-worth and because they’ve got the answer to that need. And by watching other people who exude self-confidence and exude a love for other people and who embrace other people and their dreams and desires and so forth, those behaviors, those mindsets are contagious. They’ll rub off on that other person. And so people who come into this enterprise sort of shy and withdrawn find that their lives are improved by getting outside of themselves, because other people are doing it and therefore, it’s a comfortable environment to do those things. And they go away forever changed.” Steve Lund
“There’s an enormous element of discipline involved in the business, where people have viewed the world long-term and consistently work toward their dream past the first week. When the excitement wears off at the second day in this business, or the first time you do a meeting and two people show up, when you are tempted to think, ‘Gee, that was fun while it lasted,’ there is an enormous need to discipline yourself and just consistently pursue your goal.” Blake Roney
“Always do what you are afraid to do.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Part of business is adversity. Everyone who tries to do a hard thing is going to run into challenges. Blake has a philosophy that has been very helpful to me. He views business as problem solving. If there were no problems to making money or to building an organization or whatever, then everybody would be doing it. And there would be no opportunity there because everybody would already occupy that space. In order for an opportunity to be real, in order for a business to be real, there have to be obstacles to success in place that keep other people from getting there. So those who climb the mountain and who actually achieve the success aren’t people who just accidentally discovered some obstacle-free course to success! They didn’t just land on the top of the mountain. They climbed. They probably had some falters and stumbles but always got back up and kept moving forward, upward, regardless of the challenges. It’s rather, people who faced obstacle after obstacle and then worked through them who taste the joy of success.” Steve Lund
“We all need someone to believe in us. But that ‘someone’ can just be YOU. Belief in yourself is all that is required to taste success. The fair-weathered fans will arrive shortly after your first million does.” Troy Dunn
"I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse." Florence Nightingale
“Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.” Mark Twain
In the beginning days of Nu Skin International, we were in fact a couple of people with a great product, a clear vision, and a steep learning curve. What kept us going in those early days was the simple fact that we never quit…well, not on the same day. There were moments that we may have felt like it but that is the beauty of team work. There is always someone there to lift and we all need that from time to time. Then we have opportunities to be the hand that lifts.” Sandie Tillotson
“I feel like I get to do an enormous amount of good, even beyond all the incredible success the distributors get to have and the good that the product does in the world. Opportunities to help feed starving children in Africa really keeps me passionate and I never doubt my ‘WHY’. Also, it is really fun to me. And I want it to be fun to my children, and so I stay in the loop so that I can get as much of that kind of stuff done as I possibly can, in front of my children, hoping they can ‘catch the bug’.” Blake Roney
“I have never met a successful person who didn’t include prayer as an ingredient in the recipe of success.” Troy Dunn
“This one makes a net; this one stands and wishes. Would you like to bet which one gets the fishes?” Chinese Rhyme
“Entropy is a law of physics that basically says that nature tends toward chaos. And it takes energy to not degrade, and go with the flow, and end up at a low place rather than a high place. It takes energy to turn that natural tendency around and go forward. And so, the success that people achieve in this life, sometimes it’s simply a measure of how much energy they’re willing to apply to bring an excellence to their life, as opposed to letting gravity simply carry them down to mediocrity.” Steve Lund
“Once you’ve set your mind to do something and refuse to allow other ideas to distract you from your decision, then you’ve created a snowball effect. And you choose to make that a snowball of exclusively positive ‘can do’ thoughts. Sure, negative ones will try to sneak in there, but give it no energy, toss it out and return your thoughts to that excitement and determination that is such a positive force in driving you towards your purpose and passion. Then, nothing can stop you unless you quit.” Sandie Tillotson
“There is an important question people would do well to ask themselves at the end of every day. ‘What made me feel good today?’ Now, that doesn’t mean, ‘What was fun today,' because something can be fun but lacking passion, but everything that makes you passionate is fun.” Blake Roney
"It is pivotal that each of us seriously reflect on what feels good in our lives, what feels right, what makes us think, ‘I really like who I am’. That is where our passion lies.” Blake Roney
“No matter what today’s activity is, part of our mindset ought to be, ‘How can I add a little more value to this enterprise? How can I add a little more value to what we’re doing today in order to squeeze more out of life than we are right now?’ That means we do not settle for doing as little as possible. It means we do and give as much as we can. That is the difference between mediocrity and excellence. It is a choice.” Steve Lund
“It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” Mark Twain
“In order to be the kind of person others will want to follow, you have to become that kind of person. It has to be part of your heart. It has to be part of your soul. People can tell when you genuinely care about them. You can’t fake that.” Sandy Tillotson
