"Unstoppable"

The Essence of Leadership

"A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the quality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. In the end, leaders are much like eagles...they don't flock, you find them one at a time."

Marijke Long
Triple Diamond Director, North Carolina , USA

Born and raised in the Netherlands, Marijke Long came to the United States in her 20's. With a degree in architecture, Marijke was well positioned for a career; but when her son and twin daughters arrived, she found it hard to work outside the home and spend the time with the children that she wanted. Network marketing seemed the right answer for Marijke's desire to be with her son and daughters and make a good income that provided private school education for them.

“In those days,” Marijke says, “we did everything by telephone. It took me two years of hard work to make Double Diamond with a previous company. With STEMTech, I was a Double Diamond in my first month!”

Marijke had known Christian Drapeau for a long time, and had followed Christian's development of StemEnhance® out of his earlier work with AFA, so she was really ready for the STEMTech pre-launch last autumn. For years she had been supplementing her diet with AFA, and had noticed significant positive health benefits. With her first bottle of StemEnhance®, however, Marijke says, “I felt increased energy, better mental focus, and a brighter outlook right away. I knew this was a fabulous product.”

A fellow distributor suggested taking her second capsules right before bed. “It seemed wrong, because StemEnhance® increased my energy levels during the day, but I tried it,” Marijke relates, “and that first night, what a surprise… I slept through the night. I hadn't done that in years!” Marijke's explanation? “StemEnhance® seems to support whatever you're body is doing at that time. If you need energy, it supports you; if you need sleep, it's there for you. It's amazing!”

In his work as a business broker, Mark analyzes many business models, finding some that are destined for success and others plagued with problems. He says, “With STEMTech, the model has the best of everything going for it: We have the constant ‘buzz' about stem cells in the media, and you can't pay for that kind of advertising! Couple that with a phenomenal and affordable product that works, and there you have it… the perfect business opportunity.”

As his organization grows, Mark puts his energies into making a difference in people's lives. “As people age or have financial difficulty,” he points out, “they stop dreaming. I want to give people hope in the future, to let them dream again. With STEMTech, dreams can come true for anybody at any age.” And Mark's personal dream these days? “I have my eye on a light blue BMW hard-top convertible, compliments of STEMTech,” he says with a grin.

Ian Davies
Presidential Director, Hawaii, USA

Ian Davies was one of STEMTech's original Triple Diamonds back in the "old, pre-Launch days," when only seven others shared Triple Diamond status with him. Now, with the Triple Diamonds swelling to twenty, Ian is blazing the way into the next echelon as our first President's Club Business Builder. How has he done it?

"I put people first," Ian explains simply. "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." He points out that one of the greatest human needs is to feel "connected" because it's what makes life joyful. Ian and Melony Davies have dedicated their lives to adding joy to the lives of people the world over, through sharing StemEnhance® and the STEMTech opportunity, and through charitable works. "As STEMTech embraces world charities with corporate support, we embrace them personally," Ian points out.

"Since January, we have been feeding one hundred kids in Africa every month with part of our income from STEMTech," Ian explains. "Through the Feed the Children organization, it takes only $8 a month to feed one child," he tells us, adding that he checked the charity carefully before lending his support. "I learned that 95% of their contributions go directly to the kids, so Melony and I agreed to feed 100 a month this year, and we'd like to feed 1000 a month in 2008. The more we have, the more we can give," he says. "We look to our STEMTech business to make this possible for us."

Ian and Melony also have their eye on a new house that will provide more room for their family. "Home prices here in Hawaii are through the roof," Ian says, "but we expect that our growing STEMTech business will make a new home possible for us in the near future." Income from their STEMTech business has already made it possible for the family to travel widely, including trips to Sri Lanka to visit Melony's relatives. "Keeping contact with family is precious to all of us," Ian says.

"Our intention is to do great good in the world," Ian points out, adding that "Our ability to help people has a residual impact on our lives every day. STEMTech is the most incredible vehicle to build abundant health and wealth all over the world. It is simply astounding!"

Teresa Curtis
Chairman Director, Nevada, USA

HOW YOU DID IT: BECOMING THE FIRST CHAIRMAN’S CLUB PERSON
I treat my business as a business. I realize that to succeed, not only do I have to succeed, but at least 10 others have to become Directors and 5 have to become Triple Diamonds. I make money when they make money. My job is to train people in how to be successful in network marketing. It is about building leaders by training them to be leaders.

Interview Questions
1. How did you first learn about StemEnhance® and/or STEMTech?
Ian Davies called me and at first I thought he was a little crazy, but after he sent me the information about StemEnhance®, I forwarded it to the medical advisory board of my foundation and they all came back with "if this product really works, you have found a real winner!" It does and I did!

2. What attracted you to the product or the company?
I am a network marketing business person and look at the whole picture of a business before I decide to get involved. I have had many companies solicit me, but they all had "me too" products. StemEnhance® is a whole new product category, therefore one of a kind. And with the science behind it for full validation, you can't help but be excited! And the multi-level compensation plan creates a tremendous business opportunity. STEMTech has the whole package!

3. When did you enroll as a distributor, and what was the timeframe for your rank advancements?
I signed up a couple of weeks before the "PreLaunch" in October of 2005. I becameTriple Diamond by March of 2006. Then I let my business coast while I took lots of vacations! I went back to work and became President in July of 2007 and most recently, this March, at the 2nd Annual STEMTech Convention, I became the first Chairman in the company. Even though I have reached the highest rank, it's not about what I do, it's about what my leaders do and I will continue to work until they reach Chairman, too.

4. What methods do you find most successful in building a business?
The most successful method is to use the systems! Wealthbuilders and TeleCenter are two great systems available to all distributors that are critical to helping me build my business. WealthBuilders gives you a great place to send prospects to view both the opportunity and product that STEMTech has to offer with high quality pre-approved videos. TeleCenter also gives you a place to send prospects with your own 800 number with an automated message about the product and opportunity. It also gives you a communications bundle to include your 800 number, fax & voicemail. Together you have a complete system for filtering and processing prospects. It really is the easiest and most profitable way to grow a large organization! I use them consistently and my organization is now 25,000 people and growing! And remember, "it's not what you do, it's what they do."

5. Do you have a preferred “target prospect group”? Explain about them.
I only prospect for entrepreneurs - people who are already in business for themselves or who want to be in business for themselves, even if it is not network marketing. This is because they already understand the concept of working for yourself and are self-motivated. All I need to do is direct them to the systems and that's when the magic happens and my business grows!

6. Describe your average STEMTech work day.
Since I am back in "recruiting mode" because I want to further expand my business (and go to Cancun) I spend at least an hour a day on the phone with prospects in the United States. Then I spend an additional hour per day speaking with people internationally in countries that are open and ones that are opening soon. I check in with my leaders (though most call me to check in) looking for new ways to get the word out and support each other in motivation and sharing successful ideas.

7. Are you part-time or full time? What is or was your career before STEMTech?
STEMTech is my full-time job with part-time hours. Before this I was an accountant, CPA and financial advisor. In my spare time I continue to teach money management and tax advice for the home based business and invest my STEMTech money in real estate.

8. Describe the area where you live, pointing out the best places you’ve found to share the StemEnhance® story.
I live in Las Vegas, Nevada - one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., however, very few of my distributors are actually in-state. I've grown my business primarily over the phone, out-of-state and internationally which goes to show that it doesn't matter where you live, you can do this as a business! And that is how I've shared the StemEnhance® Story, one phone call at a time!

9.Pretend I am a prospect. Give me your one-minute introduction.
I use one of the following depending on circumstances:
If you could find a way:
- To make as much money as you are worth...
- To create a new paradigm of health for yourself...
- To pay much less in taxes each year...
- To change whatever aspect of your life you want to change...
Would you want that information??
And then I shut up and send them to the systems. It works!

10. What personal physical benefits have you experienced with StemEnhance® and/or StemFlo™?
It is so hard to not say to people that I no longer need a knee replacement, that my fibroid tumors have disappeared and that my calcified adrenal gland is no longer calcified. I love this product! so I guess I better say that I am much more mobile and can do lots of things now that I couldn't do before. And I love the compliments that I look like I'm in my early forties instead of crowding 60! With StemFlo™ I feel increased energy and have better movement.

11. Who has helped you most in building your business? Explain what help this person has given you.
My teacher and mentor, Steve Lewis. I don't want to mention him in the article, but what we have done together is to put Steve's training into systems and ways for the regular distributor to be successful. The whole concept of being a Tour Guide instead of selling comes from him. Everything that is on TeamKeerthi.com, ways to talk to people, ways to present ideas, comes from him. My nickname, I found out at the convention, is "teacher" as many, many people came to me and said that they were successful because I had taught them how to actually be successful in network marketing. My philosophy of "I make money when you make money" and "My job is to make each one in my downline millionaires" has spurred people to look at this business differently. Changing from trying to "get as many people as possible" to realizing what a great gift of Health and Wealth we are offering with STEMTech for the world.

12. What STEMTech training events have you attended? What are the best things you gained from these sessions?
I have attended all of the corporate functions that STEMTech has given. George Antarr and I go back a long way and we have a lot of the same techniques that we have been working for years. His 4 Step System along with some of our "non-selling" techniques have combined to make the average person much more successful. I know that I can recruit, but networking is about everyone being able to recruit. Since the average person really does not know how to recruit, systems need to be in place to make sure everyone is successful. George has really put together three main recruiting tools based on individual styles of recruiting.

TeleCenter - 800 system that has major information on it from STEMTech Corporate that can be heard any time day or night giving the STEMTech Story

WealthBuilders - internet system that again tells the story via high quality streaming videos allowing the distributor to just be a Tour Guide

Your Business At Home Magazine - which is a powerful new tool to allow people to give out the STEMTech message in person or by e-mail.
