 healthy babies – sunscreen – safe as houses?
Hello everyone, It’s MiTime again. And this month, we thought we’d focus on the strongest reason there is for adopting a more organic lifestyle – the children.
Virtually all of the wonderful people who buy ONEgroup organic products have some involvement with little people. So this issue is full to the brim with handy hints for making the world a better place for the next generation.
The Environmental Working Group’s investigation of nearly 1,000 brand-name sunscreen products finds that 4 out of 5 don’t provide protection and/or contain chemicals that may pose health hazards. Some of the worst offenders are leading brands like Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena.
Many millions of cases of skin cancer are diagnosed worldwide each year. Yet due to huge legislative gaps, companies in many countries are free to claim – but not provide – broad spectrum protection.
Stay safe and keep your children safe by switching to the risk-free, organic alternative: Reflect Outdoor Balm.
You may need to apply it a little more frequently. But what’s that small inconvenience for the reassurance of knowing that you’re protecting precious young skin from damaging rays in a safe, non-intrusive way?

babies mainlining chemicals in uterusMothers pass toxic chemicals to their babies through their umbilical cords, according to a groundbreaking study. The recent study commissioned by Washington-based Environmental Working Group found an average 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants (body load) in umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in U.S. hospitals.
Exposure to chemicals is a huge concern with infants. Because the blood-brain barrier – the body’s defence that keeps contaminants from reaching the central nervous system – is not yet developed, babies can suffer more neurological harm.
And of course, female babies are born with the eggs that could become their own babies, meaning later generations will also be exposed.
Making your home environment as clean and green as you can is a great way to help reverse this damaging trend.

organics give babies the best start
 Begin with baby as you intend to go on – by using only the purest organic products such as those from the miessence® certified organic Mother & Baby Range.
Free from chemicals and synthetics, miessence® Baby Cream Wash, Lotion and Baby Powder are pure and delicate enough to be used confidently on newborns.
Similarly, Organic Baby Bottom Cleansing Gel, Bottom Mist and Barrier Balm work together to gently clean and soothe the nappy area to keep it ..well.. ‘smooth as a baby’s bottom’.

Question number 11 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
11. Can I quickly recover my costs and start earning a profit?
Yes, with a plan and a strategy. I was able to recover my initial costs (Fast Start and Registration Fee) within 6 months of joining ONE Group as an Independent Rep. I did this by choosing a strategy right away to share the ONE Group business opportunity with others.
I worked on a business plan for myself that included how much time I wanted to give to my ONE Group biz and where I wanted to take my business in the first 1-5 years.
It is a lot of work to run a business, even if it is part-time. It is important to really know how much time and energy you are willing to give. I have found this to be the most valuable advice from my upline.
My upline was intregal in supporting my growth with ONE Group and being there to answer all of my questions. This is a team effort…so when I begin to feel down or frustrated, I connect with my upline, read up on the educational information from ONE Group and re-focus. Reminding myself at all times of why I became an Independent Rep and the benefits of being in charge of my own business.
Below is some information from my ONE Group main site:
Once you are active and have placed an order and you introduce three people as Representatives who set-up their own minimum monthly order of 50PV, the cost of your own 50PV monthly order will be covered by the bonuses you will earn from ONEgroup, i.e. approx. AU$90 (approx. US$65), or, in other words, your monthly order is effectively free. So it truly pays to spread the word!

Question number 10 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
10. Is there a sound business model to leverage your earning capacity by employing the efforts of others? (For all successful business people who never had immediate access to a large investment capital; this was and, still is their most critical success factor.)
The first reason I became an Independent Rep with ONE Group was because of the products. The second reason was because of the business model.
I knew that I wanted to use the miessence products for myself and my family. I made it my priority to bring 3 representatives onto my team as soon as possible. This supported my business (thank you fabulous team!) and allowed me to purchase products each month keeping my monthly order well within my financial means.
Below is a brief outline of the multi-channel enterprise; the business model for ONE Group. Take a look and contact me if you would like to learn more about the ONE Group buisness opportunity! Or Join Now!
Multi-Channel Enterprise (MCE)
To promote miessence® certified organics in the market place, ONEgroup has developed a professional business model known as a Multi-Channel Enterprise (or MCE). The purpose of the MCE is to allow committed individuals who share in ONEgroup’s vision and are passionate about promoting miessence® products, to build a sustainable home-based business to support themselves financially.
TRADITIONAL MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS
What is Network MarketingSimply, network marketing is a distribution system, or form of marketing, which channels goods or services from the manufacturer to the consumer through a “network” of independent distributors or Representatives. Such goods and services are not normally available through any other channel. It’s a wonderfully effective system that cuts out the numerous “middlemen” found in most industries.
WHAT IS A MULTI-CHANNEL ENTERPRISE?
Unlike many of today’s marketing and distribution methods, which are restrictive to certain channels, Nature’s boundaries are not so rigidly defined. At miessence®, we have recognized that Nature is (and always has been) the perfect example of growth and nourishment whilst being totally renewable and self-sustaining. With this in mind, we have moved beyond traditional marketing methods by taking the best qualities of each and combining them in a way that allows you to have unrestricted or ‘natural’ access to all distribution channels in the lucrative skin and personal care industry. This includes retailing, direct sales, health & beauty professionals, fundraisers, markets & expos, etc. At ONEgroup we firmly believe that Nature is indeed the ideal model for business growth.
ONEgroup MULTI-CHANNEL ENTERPRISE (MCE) SYSTEM
So what makes a ONEgroup Multi-Channel Enterprise inherently different from other systems? We think the answers can be refined into the following four key points:
- It is symbiotic in nature (allows all methods to co-exist – networking, retailing, fundraising),
- It encourages a truly entrepreneurial spirit,
- It allows all those involved to benefit from what they bring to the business into perpetuity,
- It allows all to flourish without discrimination.

Question number 9 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
9. Can consumers simply switch brands to use the products so that they don’t have to start spending extra dollars? (i.e. are these type of products already in common use and part of people’s normal spending patterns?)
After finding the ONE Group products, I began to take a look around my house at the products I was currently using and what could be replaced with miessence/mivitality/mienviron.
The first product I purchased was the Rejuvenating Moisturizer. This was actually a new product for me, as I had not been using a moisturizer regularly, because of the synthetic preservatives found in other over the counter products.
Next, I switched shampoos, conditioner, bodywash, soap (hand/bar), deodorant and body lotions. To use miessence, and know that our skin would now be free of toxic chemicals was pure joy for me and my family!
When looking at the cost, it was worth it to me to re-arrange our budget to purchase the products from ONE Group. Yes, while it may appear that there are other brands that are less expensive monetarily, it is important to me and my family to know for certain that the products we put on our skin are pure. We have found that the costs do even out while the benefits far out weigh the cost.
My family now has a better understanding of the chemicals found in over the counter skin care products. We have continued to learn together about skin care and the foods we eat. ONE Group has supported our growth in understanding the environment and the role of using our earth’s resources wisely and with greater care.

Question number 8 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
8. Are the products such that they require repeat purchasing? (i.e. not restricted to just a once-off purchase?)
What I truly love about the ONE Group opportunity is the ability choose. You may become a preferred customer or an Independent Representative. Each of these possibilities has its own purchasing choices.
Preferred Customer – Free
As a Preferred Customer simply order products on line as you need them, no minimum spend, obtain a 10% discount after your first order and be a part of the Loyalty Program generating higher future discounts.
Independent Representative
As an Independent Representative, enjoy product discounts from 10% – 40%, earn income via your own home based business and choose to set up an easy automatic ordering system to receive your world leading organic products every month. A joining fee and annual renewal fee applies.
I chose to become an Independent Represenative with ONE Group, because of the wonderful miessence products. I have since connected with others interested in an organic business who have joined my team as Independent Reps.
I have also found that many people enjoy the convienience of becoming a preferred customer. They make the choice to purchase miessence products which are then delivered directly to their door. Being able to describe both options to people is important to me as I continue to connect with others through this wonderful business opportunity.

Question number 6 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
6. Is the timing of the product offer towards the beginning or the end of its life cycle?
The ONE group company is 5 years old. The products are beautiful, pure and certified organic. While the organic movement has been going on for years now, for me, this is the beginning of really looking at how I live my life.
While growing up in the 70’s, much of my learning was in the outside world. Now that I have lived and traveled, I see the need to continue to support the earth in all ways. It has been important for me, and my family, to use skin care and health care products that support the greater environment and our limited resources.
The research that has gone into creating the miessence products is fresh and the sustainablity for the earth is at the forefront of the company’s work.
The Organic Movement
The organic movement began at the same time as industrialised agriculture. It evolved through the ’50s and ’60s with the launch of such books as ” Silent Spring” by Rachel Carson, which exposed the toxic effects of pesticides through what is now termed bio-magnification; a process whereby synthetic chemicals used in agriculture magnify (increase in concentration) through the food-chain. During the ’70s, the development of the organic market was stimulated by growing consumer interest in health and nutrition, as well as the increasing importance of preserving the natural environment.

7. Do the products have a unique and sustainable point of difference?
Yes. The miessence/mienviron/mivitality products are ceritified organic to food standards. The list of ingredients is pure and available on each of the product labels. This has always been a huge selling point for me. Anything I put on my skin (or on my family’s skin) must be chemical and preservative free.
Why choose organic products…for your skin?
The only way customers can be assured that they are purchasing Real Organic products produced without the use of synthetic chemicals and GMO’s is to purchase products which have been organically certified with a leading independent certifying body such as the;
ONEgroup products stand in a class of their own as the first comprehensive range of certified organic skin, hair, cosmetic, health and personal care products on the planet.
In an industry that is largely unregulated, miessence has set an unprecedented benchmark of quality by producing products that are guaranteed to be of an organic food grade standard.
You can be assured of this from the seals of approval displayed by two of the world’s leading independent certifying bodies. This is your global guarantee of the authenticity of ONEgroup’s claim of truly natural and organic products, which no other manufacturer has achieved.
We trust that you will enjoy the purity and integrity of miessence® and encourage you to continue your journey towards true health and beauty by experiencing our products for yourself.

Question number 5 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
5. Are the products in a market/industry that is huge and expanding?
Going green is everywhere! So, yes…miessence certified organics and the ONE Group products are on the cutting edge of this ever growing mindset for a sustainable world.
Some stats on the growth of organic products:
U.S. sales of organic food and beverages have grown from $1 billion in 1990 to an estimated $20 billion in 2007, and are projected to reach nearly $23 billion in 2008. Organic food sales are anticipated to increase an average of 18 percent each year from 2007 to 2010.

Good for the soil
Organic systems rely on a modern and scientific understanding of ecology and soil science, while also depending on traditional methods of crop rotations to ensure fertility and weed and pest control.

Organic systems aim to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources. Organic production aims at all times towards sustainability whilst having best management of the environment and wildlife as a priority.
-

No synthetic chemicals

Question number 4 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
4. Are the products able to be sold in retail outlets?
(Retail is only available in certain countries.)
| |
 |
ONEgroup also has a strategy for their Representatives to promote the miessence® products in stalls at markets and expo’s and also in Retail outlets. There is a process for assigning retail outlets before they are approached(Please note:conditions apply in regard to Retail so please speak to your Sponsor for more details). Representatives are free approach Markets and Expos however please be courteous and respectful when other ONEgroup Independent Representatives are already attending the event. Exclusivity at an event will need to be arranged with the Market or Expo organiser. Cost: Sample products and testers to use, as well as travel costs. Stalls and expos may have costs for hiring space. |
Representative Quick Check List
• Open to new retail outlets in Australia, New Zealand and the USA only
• Hold the rank of Manager status or higher by volume
• Attainment of the Manager rank from signing up 3 Fast Start Representatives during your first month does not qualify you for participation.
• The retail outlet must have a baby, health or beauty focus
• Please note that ONEgroup reserves the right to deny retail status, upon evaluation.
• Must have a Retail Outlet Allocation request approved by ONEgroup:
You must request to have a retail outlet allocated to you prior to initial contact by:
1. Sending an allocation request to retail@mionegroup.com. Include representative name, username, store name, complete address and store contact name.
2. ONEgroup will assess the application and e-mail response to requesting representative within 3 business days.
3. Upon notification of approved allocation, representative may contact the store and seek the completion of the wholesale application form and first order.
This is the basic outline for retailing with ONE Group. It is a strategy that can be very worthwhile to those reps interested in bringing the Mother and Baby Care products to a larger audience.

Question number 3 in my series: Why I Became and Independent Rep with ONE Group; my journey through the 16 Point Business Evaluation Checklist
3. Are the products something that you would tell others about?
Absolutely! I love telling people about the miessence products.
My continued work is answering the next question; Who do I tell? (and) How do I tell them?
1. Friends and family: When telling my friends and family, I was so excitited at first that I was a bit overzealous. Some friends were interested. Some family members thought my new ONE Group business was interesting. But mostly what I sensed was…thanks, but no thanks.
2. I began to look more closely at the ONE Group marketing strategies. I decided to share the miessence products using the 100 newspaper strategy and advertising. With the newspaper strategy, I found that it was time consuming for me and I was just not comfortable face-to-face with business owners.
The advertising route proved to be much more productive. I wrote a small classified ad and put it (free, or very inexpensively) into health magazines and local papers. This proved to be the best way for me to connect with others. Inexpensive, and the reader was able to make their own choice whether or not to purchase ONE Group products. I now had reps joining my ONE Group team.
3. My next step was to begin to develop an on-line ONE Group presence. I begin to post on my first blog ,( organicsyes ) products that I loved and wanted to share with my blog contacts. I began to see that there were others out there interested in purchasing miessence produts and becoming reps. This method continues to be the direction on which I choose to focus my strategies with my ONE Group biz.
4. Small gatherings: I branched out rececntly and connected again with friends and family. While the gathering was fun and I made connections and sold products, I realized that this is a strategy that just does not suit me.
Conclusion:
I have shared samples, run contests on my blogs, participate in expos, and sent miessence products to others for review.
The method that continues to work for me is to present ONE Group certified organic products on-line. I enjoy connecting with others through mutual interests in organic skin care, educating, and bringing in people to find what they are already looking for in organic skin care through the world of the internet and social networking.
