Why Should You Use Soy Protein? - USANA uses soy as a major source of protein in its bars and drink mixes. A variety of factors have gone into this decision. The most important involve the fact that soy protein is nutritionally complete and high quality, and soy consumption has been linked with several long-term health benefits. In addition, soy protein is ecologically friendly. Its production has a much lower environmental impact than does the production of most animal protein foods.

Twenty Questions (About Your USANA Business) - Do you like to play games? I’d like to tell you about a game that people used to play many, many years ago. It was long before personal computers, PlayStation, X-Box, flat screen TVs, Angry Birds, smart phones and texting. Even before Pac Man and Dungeons & Dragons. No batteries required.

The 80/20 Rule, And How It Applies to Your USANA Business - In 1906, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto created a mathematical formula to describe the unequal distribution of wealth in his country, observing that twenty percent of the people owned eighty percent of the wealth. In the late 1940s, Dr. Joseph M. Juran inaccurately attributed the 80/20 Rule to Pareto, calling it Pareto's Principle. While it may be misnamed, Pareto's Principle or Pareto's Law as it is sometimes called, can be a very effective tool to help you build your USANA business effectively.

A Message to Garcia - Elbert Hubbard penned his classic essay, “A Message to Garcia" in one hour after a dinnertime discussion with his family.

Ten Ways To Be A Leader - Everyone tells us to be a leader, but they never tell us how. Dale Carnegie tells us exactly how:

Innocent Questions that Prompt Prospects to Make Decisions - Now! - I'm sitting across the prospects' kitchen table. They are afraid to make a decision. They're thinking: "We don't want to make a mistake." "What if we make the wrong decision?" "Let's think it over and delay any decision until we have to." "What if we fail?" "Maybe we should just take our time thinking about this." – by Tom “Big Al” Schreiter
