Rodan & Fields Dermatologists Pays it Forward

Dr. Katie Rodan & Dr. Kathy Fields knew that thing were changing. After launching their product line into the retail setting in the department stores, they realized that their business was growing more through word of mouth from their customers than it was from the sales person behind the counter.

Although their dermatological line, carried by Estee Lauder, and the #1 seller in Nordstrom, was helping their customer get the best skin of their lives, they knew there had to be more. The doctors had some experience in the Direct Selling Industry, and knew that was the best place to reach the most people.

The doctors were not adverse to risk. As the creators of Proactiv Acne Solution, they had taken a huge risk in the 90's through the distribution of Proactiv through infomercials. In the days of the Thighmaster and "Stop the insanity!", it was unthinkable for credible Dermatologists to appear in such a fashion. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Proactiv quickly became the world's #1 acne treatment, and today, accounts for 85% of all acne sales worldwide!

And they knew that they could help others do the same!

The average American Family, in financial trouble can be saved from bankruptcy with an additional $500 in income per month. And Direct Sales is the ideal vehicle to assist individuals in achieving financial freedom.

In fact, Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" calls network marketing the business of the 21st Century.

And industry experts recognize that an opportunity which leverages the credibility of such well known experts in their field, in the Direct Selling industry, comes once every 25- 30 years.

I have been continuously inspired by these amazing entrepreneurs, who are mothers, wives, physicians, and have the desire to make the world a better place than they found it.

I've made it my mission as well, to help others achieve financial freedom, through leveraging the credibility of these amazing women. Our company is incredible, and if this is something that excites you, you owe it to yourself and your family to find out more.

Why I Chose Rodan & Fields Dermatologists

Credibility. Ground floor. Building and creating wealth. It all sounds amazing, but what does it all mean, and how does it translate into building a Rodan and Fields business day by day?

My background is in banking, and in fact, I am a Private Banker. That means that I assist affluent individuals with their banking needs. One thing I've noticed about my clients is that they are always open to new opportunities and streams of income. Most of them have become wealthy through considering new options. I have seen many of my millionaire clients start their own businesses and have helped several of them with financing their new opportunities.

So I know a good business opportunity when I see it. When I was approached with the idea of starting my own Rodan & Fields business, it made complete sense to me. I was amazed at how affordable it was to start my own business (no bank loan needed!), and the credibility of Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, the creators of Proactiv Acne Solution. Coupled with the fact that I was able to come into the company as one of the first consultants, it was an absolute no brainer!

Although I had never considered direct sales, the model fit in well with my life. I am able to work my business in only 10 hours per week and build a team and an income that will benefit me and my family for years to come.

Rodan and Fields is currently in a very small window prior to reaching momentum where we are creating critical mass and expanding exponentially. Our company achieved 500% growth last year, and our VP Chris Diaz estimates that momentum will begin in the second quarter of 2011. If you had the chance to partner with the Doctors before they created Proactiv, would you have done so? Proactiv is a $1 billion industry. Imagine just having a small piece of that!

The time is now, and the timing is critical. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to leverage the credibility of the doctors, and amazing products that sell themselves to ensure my financial future.

Are you ready?

Reversing the Signs of Sun Damage

Have you ever noticed those ugly brown spots that start to appear on your skin? They are called liver spots or age spots. You may wonder, what are liver spots, what do liver spots look like, or what causes liver spots on the face and hands?

Liver spots and age spots are actually sun damage coming to the surface of the skin. But be warned-- what you see now is only the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath is threatening to come out in the next 10-15 years.

Sun damage can show up as sallow or dull looking skin. Most people are unaware of what causes their skin to lose brightness and radiance.

The good news is that there is an answer. Many people wonder how to get rid of liver spots.

The first option is to visit a dermatologist and undergo a series of laser treatments. The treatments generally cost between $2,000 and $4,000. The bad news is that they are not always effective. Since sun damage in the form of brown spots is sometimes aggravated by heat, the laser (in rare instances) can sometimes have the opposite of the desired effect and make them appear worse.

A dermatologist may also prescribe a 4% Hydroquinone lotion to lighten the spots.

Finally, there are now new products available in OTC strength that contain the ingredient hydroquinone. In the past, most of the cremes and treatments available needed to be prescribed by a Dermatologist. There are some new remedies on the market that are available in OTC strength, however. Hydroquinone in 2% strength is FDA approved for OTC Sale.

The most effective way to removed age spots tends to be a Skin Regimen which often includes three or four steps. Research has shown that layering the medications increases their efficacy, allows greater absorption of the medications by the skin, and provides maximum results.

Sun damage is a bigger problem than we have realized in the past, and it is just starting to come to the surface. It is estimated that 50 million Americans suffer from acne. Now we are discovering that twice that number (100 million) suffer from sun damage. That's 1 in 3 Americans! Most people are not even aware that they have sun damage.

The best way to prevent sun damage is to utilize a moisturizer that has SPF 30 or greater on a daily basis, and provides protection against UVA and UVB rays. This is important because UVA rays cause aging, while UVB rays cause burning. Not wearing sunscreen on a daily basis, even when outside for only 20-30 minutes per day, is equivalent to laying in the sun for 8 hours per day, over a period of 2 weeks, without sunscreen. Daily exposure really adds up!

If you do show signs of aging, don't worry-- there are remedies available. Skin does have a memory, however, and the spots can reappear. The best course of action is a Hydroquinone based cleanser, toner, and lotion, followed by a good sunscreen.

When Plan "B" Becomes Plan "A"

With the unemployment rate approaching 10%, many Americans are looking for that extra income. Even those that have jobs may be seeing decreased paychecks due to smaller commissions, or employers cutting hours.

USA Today recently ran an article titled, "Direct Sales Offer Recession-Proof Jobs." I have seen this in my own direct sales business. I fully expected to see business decrease when the economy took a turn for the worse, but amazingly, just the opposite happened! I was receiving more interest than ever due to people being laid off and unable to find a new position with adequate pay.

Additionally, Rodan & Fields is currently offering a $13,000 bonus program, in addition to the normal comissions and bonuses, for those who would like to participate in the Leadership Express Program. The ability to make a full time income (or more!) is possible.

And there has never been a better time than now. Rodan & Fields offeres a Direct Sales Hybrid Model-- consultants are not required to stock inventory or hold home parties. It is a new company destined for great things, and we are looking for enterpeneurial leaders to join our team.

You can check out the USA Today article at:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/retail/2009-05-13-direct-sales-jobs-recession-unemployment_N.htm

What the article does not mention is the huge benefits of joining such a company at the beginning, which is what R&F is offering.

Think about it.... Working on your own schedule, never being downsized...

The time is now and the company is Rodan & Fields. Please contact me directly to hear more about the Leadership Express/ Top Earners Program for Executive Consultants.

Paving the way to financial freedom

Imagine being one of seven women in Mary Kay Ash's living room in 1965. These seven women were the first consultants into Mary Kay cosmetics. Mary Kay now has over 1 million consultants. Can you imagine being the first of a company that has grown to the level that Mary Kay has?

The doctors who created Proactiv Acne Solution, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, are offering an opportunity paramount to the seven ladies in Mary Kay's living room.

Mary Kay Ash has created more women millionaires than any other company on earth. And Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields have made it their mission to surpass Mary Kay in their new direct selling hybrid model.

There are literally thousands of new companies like Mary Kay cosmetics in the Direct Selling Industry. They all preach "Ground Floor Opportunity" and "We have the best compenstaion plan in the business." Yet, a large number of these companies are destined to fail. It is a statistical impossiblity for all of them to succeed. And with their failure they will leave shattered dreams.

Many people are looking for the "Golden Ticket." Yes, being one of the first consultants into a company that is sure to become a multi-billion dollar company is a once in a lifetime opportunity-- IF you are able to select the right company.

Selecting the right company is paramount to the long term success and sustainability of your direct selling business.

I have been a banker for the past 10 years. Banking has been a great career for me, and I am fortunate to say that I am paid to do what I love! When my friend Maria came to me in November of 2007, however, she offered me something I could not refuse!

A new skincare company was in the works. In fact, they had not even had their first official launch!

She was excited to tell me tha the company is Rodan & Fields Dermatologists, created by Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, the dermatologists who created Proactiv® Solution. It is difficult to find someone who has not heard of Proactiv®!

I had never even considered the possiblity of starting my own direct selling business. After all-- why? I had a great job that I fully enjoyed! But when this opportunity came up, how could I say no?

So-- the bottom line is, I chose to become an independent consultant with Rodan & Fields for the following reasons:

1. Credibility of the Doctors (what other brand new company has this amount of amazing history already behind them?)

2. Beauty products are recession proof! Plastic surgeons are actually seeing an INCREASE in procedures at a time when you would think everyone is cutting back.

3. Amazing products-- clinically proven, and they do create results. The company also offers a money back guarantee-- they stand behind their products.

4. Timing is everything. The opportunity to be in the first 5,000 consultants is truly a once in a lifetime one for a business like this, which has the potential to grow into a multi billion dollar business.

5. Amazing Leadership Team and Training-- Top leaders in the industry like Chris Diaz, Lori Bush, and other top executives from companies like Nu Skin, Arbonne, and Amway, are now lending their expertise, and we are seeing our R&F Business EXPLODE!

We are looking for hardworking people of integrity to join our Amazing Skin Team. Please visit my website at:
