Sunrider Shines at the L.A. County Fair

Sunrider International entered the fall season by creating excitement and buzz at the L.A. County Fair, held at the Fairplex in Pomona, California, on Saturday, September 18. This event was a great opportunity to increase Sunrider brand awareness, and the Sunrider team did not disappoint!



With a colorful, active booth, we attracted a lot of visitors all day and into the night. People had the opportunity to sample Fortune Delight® and SunBar®, both the fruit and chocolate flavors, which were a great hit with everyone, especially the kids!




Other popular products included SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse (which our staff did an outstanding job of promoting, as we sold all the products we brought to the fair!) and SunBreeze® Oil, which visitors enjoyed while experiencing a mini massage. Visitors all declared that they felt more relaxed and calmer after the “hands-on” treatment.



Kandesn® Skin Care and Color Cosmetics are always a big attraction and this event was no exception. Ladies enjoyed relaxing with an Oi-Lin® mini facial and a Kandesn® Color “mini makeover.” We helped them match their colors and made quite a few sales. A number of the teenage girls and young ladies were very excited when we demonstrated the difference with Kandesn® foundation. They remarked how it allows the skin to breathe, as opposed to the regular store-bought foundations that suffocate the skin with animal proteins and mineral oils. This demonstration really showcased how we can help every woman to achieve clear and more beautiful, youthful-looking skin. Many ladies were even interested in coming to our Kandesn® Room, located at Sunrider World Headquarters, for a full Kandesn® workshop experience!



It was a brilliant event to engage in one-on-one conversations and to share both the uniqueness of our products and the Philosophy of Regeneration®.  It also gave us an opportunity to hand out literature about the products and our business opportunity that people could review after returning home!

All in all, the L.A. County Fair was a superb venue for Sunrider International. It was a family event and we had something to offer everyone in the family. It gave us a way to continue to make more inroads into the Hispanic community and the Los Angeles market in general.

Sunrider Shines at the Go Green Expo!

Sunrider’s booth at the Go Green Expo in Los Angeles on January 21 & 22 was a real hit. The “green” theme provided the perfect environment to showcase our philosophy and many of our most popular products. The booth was manned by several IBOs and Sunrider staff, most notably John Teng, Sunrider’s North American Sales Manager.



Everyone who visited the booth embraced Sunrider’s Philosophy of Regeneration™, and because they were like-minded people, they quickly grasped the concept of achieving Health and Beauty from the inside out and the outside in. John Teng drew a big crowd when he shared Sunrider’s whole foods and nutritional supplements with a group of bodybuilders and fitness instructors. He let them know that Sunrider’s Vitalite® and SunSport® lines are the healthiest choice to meet all their fitness goals, without the deleterious side effects and the artificial ingredients found in many of the popular supplements on the market.



There were also many attractive ladies of all ages and ethnicities who got excited at the opportunity to experience Kandesn® Color. They were impressed by the fact that Kandesn® foundations allow the skin to function optimally and that the color and the skin care are also based on the Philosophy of Regeneration™. Kandesn® Marketing Manager Julie McLewee allowed them to experience the Oi-Lin® Skin Care Set. They were amazed at the effect they felt after just four simple steps, and it was just what many of the ladies had been looking for! They were delighted to know that its products contained stellar ingredients, including olive oil, avocado oil, and jojoba oil, just to name a few. Many of these savvy consumers asked if the ingredients contained animal proteins, mineral oil, or lanolin, and we were happy to tell them “absolutely not!” Those who experienced it on their faces said they could not believe how soft, hydrated, and radiant their skin looked. Finally, they loved that our lipsticks are “good enough to eat” and they were impressed that the whole Kandesn® line is researched, developed, and manufactured in our state-of-the-art facilities in Torrance.



Here’s what a few of our IBOs had to say about the event and Sunrider:

Phil Bartel, San Diego CA
I spoke with many positive, health-minded people who were very open to Sunrider’s products and philosophy. I obtained many new contacts. I’m sufficiently impressed with the Go Green Expo. I would look into participating in other cities around Southern Cal.

Serra Lynn Kelley, San Clemente CA
All the people I spoke with seem genuinely interested in safe health and beauty [products]. Everyone was on the same page and wanted more information about Sunrider and our high-quality products.

Mary & Tim Young, Gardena CA
I’ve attended many expos over the years and this has been the easiest event to engage people. Many of the people we spoke with have shown an interest in coming down to Sunrider Headquarters to attend a Product Fair or see more of the Kandesn® line in the Kandesn® Room!

We have great news, Sunriders! The beautifully finished presentation video shown at Convention (and two recent Product Fairs held at World Headquarters) can now be viewed online, and will soon be available for purchase with the Grand Convention Highlights DVD (available in multiple languages).

Aptly titled “Sunrider—An Introduction,” this short presentation highlights Sunrider’s history, Dr. Chen’s passion for high quality products, the Philosophy of Regeneration™, and our outstanding business plan. It provides a unique glimpse into the makings of Sunrider and the backgrounds of Drs. Chen, and captures the essence of the Sunrider brand. It’s a dynamic “must-have” tool for your Sunrider arsenal.

So take a peek at this powerful new video on YouTube or Facebook. We hope you’re as excited as we are!

Sunrider Hosts Prestigious BYU Management Society Luncheon

Nearly 60 people attended a luncheon for the Los Angeles chapter of the BYU Management Society at Sunrider World Headquarters yesterday.

Attendees dined on delectable sandwiches and salads before listening to guest speaker Steven Wheelwright, President of Brigham Young University Hawaii. Asked to speak about moral leadership, President Wheelwright focused much of his discussion on trust and its importance in moral behavior and accountability. At the conclusion of the luncheon, Sunny Beutler presented President Wheelwright with an antique, Chinese four-horse chariot.

President Wheelwright is an MBA and doctorate degree recipient from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and has spent much of his career as a professor and administrator at the Harvard Business School. He also served as a Mission President for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in London.

According to its website, the society was founded in 1977 and “includes not only BYU and Marriott School alumni, but many other business professionals with the same desire for professional advancement, high ethical standards, career development, and continuing education…the management society is an influential organization with about 6,000 members in 40 U.S. cities and 10 countries.”

Sunrider was proud to host the luncheon for a great group of people—a group which shares many of Sunrider’s business ideals, such as integrity and strong ethics.

New Shaker Bottles Coming Today!

Starting today at 5 pm PDT, Sunrider will release newly designed 32 oz. Shaker Bottles made without bisphenol A. Commonly referred to as BPA, bisphenol A is used primarily to make plastics. It is a key monomer in the most common form of polycarbonate plastic, which is clear and nearly shatter-proof, and used to make a variety of common products including baby and water bottles, sports equipment, medical and dental devices, and so on.

After reports surfaced in 2008 questioning the safety of the use of bisphenol A in consumer products, some retailers removed products containing it from their shelves, and some manufacturers began making products without the ingredient. However, the FDA has not banned this substance nor declared that it is harmful.

Please keep in mind that our current Shaker Bottles are completely safe, and we will continue to sell the 16 oz. size as before, as well as the new 32 oz. bottles without BPA.

Tick, Tick, Tick...Only Five Days Left to Earn a Gift!

For only five more days, Business Leaders and below who purchase $500 in one online order and ship to their address on file will receive a GIFT!

Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council Tours Chen Art Gallery, Visits Product Fair

Following a tour of the Chen Art Gallery, Bowers Museum Collectors’ Council members were welcomed to a special Product Fair created just for them.

Held in the Healthy Life Store, we demonstrated products from the Oi-Lin® Skin Care Set, Kandesn® Protective Foundation SPF 15, SunSmile® Herbal Toothpaste, and SunBreeze® Balm & Oil! After describing the power of our skin care and cosmetic products, Kandesn® Marketing Manager Julie McLewee had to run and get extra business cards to give to all those who wanted to schedule appointments in the Kandesn® Room!

Delicious VitaShake® Strawberry smoothie samples filled with strawberry and pineapple were doled out, and the amazing cleaning power of our SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse was illustrated on waxy broccoli from the grocery store (it emerged gorgeously green!). We also provided FortuneDelight® Peach to sample, which was very well received! Numerous people asked how to purchase the products and mentioned how delicious the FortuneDelight® and VitaShake® smoothies were!

This was a wonderful step in spreading the word about Sunrider and a fabulous way to increase our exposure in the community.

A Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge Round-Up With John Teng

On Saturday, August 8, 2009, I competed in my second Navy SEAL Fitness Challenge which was located in Seattle, WA. You may recall that my first experience with this amazing competition took place in Phoenix, AZ on March 14, 2009. So here is a performance comparison of these last two competitions:

Event: 500 Yard Swim

Notes: Breast stroke/side stroke

March 14th: 10 minutes

August 8th: 9 minutes

Results: 10% Faster

Event: Push-ups

Notes: Consecutive in 2 minutes

March 14th: 90

August 8th: 105

Results: 17% Stronger

Event: Sit-ups

Notes: Consecutive in 2 minutes

March 14th: 47

August 8th: 74

Results: 57% Stronger

Event: Pull-ups

Notes: Consecutive no time limit

March 14th: 12

August 8th: 15

Results: 25% Stronger

Event: 1.5 Mile Run

Notes: Terrain varies by event

March 14th: 11:03

August 8th: 12:22

Results: 12% Slower *

* Compared to the Phoenix event on March 14, 2009, I drastically improved in four out of the five events in Seattle, WA. My swim time, push-ups, and pull-ups met SEALs competitive standards, and my sit ups met minimum standards. While the Los Angeles event at UCLA in 2008 appears to have provided a true rubber track for the running event, the track in Phoenix was a flat grass field, and the track for Seattle was a pot-holed grass field with a loose gravel path and a wooded hill portion! Expressing my frustration to Wendy that I had to complete the run in Seattle on a loose gravel hill, Wendy reminded me that in a real mission situation, Navy SEALs probably rarely face working environments better than what they had anticipated, so they have to be conditioned and ready for any surprises. Essentially what she said was “suck it up” and start training on hills so that if they make you run on a desert sand dune next time, you will have enough endurance to attain competitive level marks in all five events and collect the famed blue shirt! Sounds good to me!

For those of you interested in participating and/or competing in events that require high strength and high endurance, here is my “minimum list” of Sunrider® products I would recommend you take/use every day:

VitaShake®

NuPlus®

SunBar®

Fortune Delight®

Calli® Herbal Tea

Dr. Chen™ MetaBooster®

Tei-Fu™ MetaShaper®

Sunrise®

Electrosport®

SunBreeze® Oil

Please refer to the recommendations on the product labels for information on how to best utilize the power of these amazing products, and stay tuned for more of my training regimen updates as I prepare for my next competition using the best foods on the planet made by Sunrider!

To all of my motivated Sunriders out there, let me leave you with a cherished quote I keep in my personal dreams and goals book as follows: “If you’re physically strong that makes you mentally strong. If you’re mentally strong you can do anything.” -David Goggins, Petty Officer First Class, Navy SEAL Navy Athlete; Ultra Runner

Sunrider's Alaska Cruise

Saturday night, July 25, marked the grand finale to an amazing week at the Sunrider Grand Convention that most, if not all, in attendance considered the best Grand Convention in 28 years! Retiring to our hotel after dancing and singing to a live Beatles cover band, my family hurried back to our hotel room to sleep for two hours and repack our luggage to tag along with Dr. and Mrs. Chen to the Authorized Business Owners Convention for ABOs from China, Taiwan, and Korea that was being held on a Celebrity Cruise ship, Mercury, from Sunday, July 26, to Sunday, August 1. Our first stop was at the small fishing

town of Sitka where everyone enjoyed a guided tour of the town, a Native American museum tour, and dance performance. The next stop was Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Wendy and I chartered a helicopter ride to a remote glacier for a dog sledding adventure and returned back in time to enjoy a catered baked salmon luncheon and a wonderful day of shopping in town. Ketchikan was our third stop where we got as close as possible to a glacier for pictures and another museum tour. The whole trip was intermingled with great food, comfortable accommodations for the onboard ABO meetings, breathtaking scenery, and even a view of a family of killer whales playing by the side of our ship!

In addition to all of the fun, I also spent a lot of time on board the ship sleeping and trying to recover from the rigors of planning and hosting Sunrider’s Grand Convention in Anaheim! Dr. and Mrs. Chen reminded me once again how hard they work for Sunrider. Drs. Chen didn’t get any more sleep than I did in preparation for this convention, and yet both of them stood on stage for hours during the Alaska cruise teaching and training the ABO leaders in attendance. I consider myself to be a very physically fit and hardworking person, but compared to the brutally long days that the Chens put in running and maintaining a worldwide family business, I feel like I am not doing nearly as much as I could to help them move Sunrider forward with greater success and momentum for the future. In my opinion, the best way for all of us to show our thanks to Drs. Chen for their superhuman commitment to improving the wellness and financial lifestyle for all of us and those to follow, is to commit ourselves to working a little bit harder and smarter to share “health and wealth” and Sunrider’s Philosophy of Regeneration™ to finally reach out to the 99.9% of the world that is still waiting to hear about us for the very first time! I am making that personal commitment, and I hope you all will, too.

Ernie Wang is Sunrider’s July Employee of the Month!

Ernie Wang is an auditor in Sunrider’s Internal Audit department and has been with the company for two years. Ernie performs company audits locally and around the world, and is often gone for weeks visiting far away affiliates! He meticulously sorts through records and procedures, and makes suggestions for improvements.

Ernie showed remarkable efforts in leading the Promo Sales area at headquarters during the recent Convention. Ernie didn’t stop until 1:00 am for three straight days the weekend before convention officially began, and the following Wednesday, he worked the entire night without sleep to close out in Torrance, and get ready to start in Anaheim the next day.

Ernie is a caring, sincere, and exceptional person—we are lucky to have him! Congratulations, Ernie, on your Employee of the Month achievement, and thank you for your amazing attitude and efforts during Convention!

I asked Ernie a few questions so we could get to know him better.

Q1: What is the best thing about being a SR employee?

A1: Sunrider is a great company to work for. I have a terrific boss who treats me with dignity, respect, and is always willing to coach me. The company offers competitive wages, excellent benefits, and provides a healthy work environment. My colleagues are helpful, collaborative, and friendly. I feel deep in my heart that Sunrider is simply the best!

Q2: What’s your best memory of SR?

A2: The most memorable one was when I got the support I needed most during the last Grand Convention, i.e., while I was severely short on “pickers” at the Product Sales operation. Janene, our Human Resources Director, provided the leadership and initiative to send additional staff in time to ensure Product Sales was a success. I was so moved that I truly could not thank her enough.

Q3: What do you like most about your job?

A3: The fundamental responsibility of my job is to assist members of Sunrider in the effective discharge of their responsibilities by testing internal controls over all areas of operations. In a nutshell, my job is to ensure that Sunrider businesses are run effectively and efficiently. However, technology is rapidly changing the nature of most internal auditors’ work. With this ever-evolving business world, internal auditors are facing challenges in replacing the “control activities” with an internal control structure consisting of five elements: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, communication and information, and monitoring. To confront these challenges head on and ascertain that the results of operations are consistent with established objectives is what I love most about my job.

Q4: What’s your favorite color?

A4: I love red, blue, and white. That was the very reason that some 30 years ago I came to this country, which I love so dearly. However, blue would be my most favorite color if I had to pick one of the three.

Q5: Do you have any pets?

A5: No, I do not for the time being. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to adopting a few lovely birds in the near future.

Ernie, congratulations on your achievement!

Fanatics for Fitness! Sunrider Networks at Bally’s Expo

Sunrider has plenty of products ideally suited to support a workout routine, so it’s no surprise we hosted a booth at a recent Bally’s Expo. We served Fortune Delight® and demonstrated several products, including SunSmile® Fruit & Vegetable Rinse, SunBreeze® Oil and Balm, and the Oi-Lin® Skin Care Set.

North American Sales Manager, John Teng, an avid gym-goer, connected with multiple people who want to build muscle and strength, and discussed how some of our products, such as the SunSport® Pack, can help achieve those goals…some fitness tips were swapped, too!

Julie McLewee, our Kandesn® Marketing Manager, told passersby about the Kandesn® cosmetic line and Oi-Lin® skin care line. Ladies stopped to learn about the uniqueness of our make-up and skin care products and even made appointments to visit the Kandesn® room next week!

IBOs Debbie Clydesdale, Juan Flores, and Mary and Tim Young helped man the booth and support our presence at the expo. Mary, Tim, and Debbie helped explain the benefits of our foods and supplements, while Juan Flores was able to connect with the large Hispanic community there getting fit and healthy! Many business cards changed hands and the Sunrider brand will be recognized more because of our attendance!

I Win Because I Fail

Many of you already know that I’m a very goal-oriented person. I know what I want in life, but I’m also “man enough” to admit that I’m not necessarily the fastest, strongest, or the smartest person that I know. One special personal trait I do highly value however is my willingness to persevere through difficulties in order to achieve my goals in life—I just don’t stop until I “hit my target.” I have to admit that most of the time my goals take longer than I anticipate, which may be the result of my overly optimistic attitude, but this same trait has also been one of my best saving graces in times of my toughest personal trials. Inside my 3-inch thick dream book that is categorized into 11 different aspects of my life, I have included the following quote: “Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck—but most of all, endurance.” [1] When I was in high school, a math teacher one day asked me what I wanted to study in college, and I said “engineering.” Her response to my answer will be eternally etched into my memory. She looked at the ceiling and with an exasperated voice said “heaven help us!” What was so surprising, even to me, was how I reacted to her comment. It was at that moment that I knew that I was going to be an engineer. Someone had just told me that I did not have the capacity to do something and, for good or for bad, I could not allow that person to impose a limitation on my success in life. After countless prayers offered to help me endure through some seemingly insurmountable personal struggles and failures, combined with a very determined and disciplined work ethic, I eventually earned a masters degree in Civil Engineering and then passed a very rigorous 13-hour long California Engineering Licensure Examination.

Like me, you too, may face people in your personal life who decide to impose limitations on your potential for one silly reason or another: You’re not this, you’re not that, you don’t have this and you don’t have that. Fortunately, I am smart enough to distinguish when someone is trying to give me sincere advice, directed towards my best well-being, and those who derive no other pleasure than to see me fail in order to justify their own self-imposed shortcomings. In my personal life, l make it a point to avoid such dark personalities no less vigilantly than one would run away from the plague. I do this because I am a winner and I want to maintain an environment as much as possible where I am around other winners who inspire me to be better.

Disclaimer: I am not a winner because I was born one, but because I do not accept to be anything but one. And I believe that I am the only person who has control over that designation. Of course, if I were to judge my “success” based on a short-term perspective, yes, I have been designated “second place,” “third place,” and a countless number of “no places” for as long as I can remember. So fortunately, that is not how I judge my success. My success has always been based on identifying the specific things in life that motivate me, that inspire me, and that make me happy. I then clearly write these things on paper and/or cut out pictures that help me clearly visualize what my “targets” are. I keep everything in a three-ring binder to view regularly, and I’m regularly adding items that inspire me, and I also subtract items that no longer motivate me. I have found the following principle to be a good rule of thumb for choosing my targets: images and statements only get to stay in my dream book if they continue to inspire me to spend energy necessary to achieve the desired result. But please do not misunderstand. I understand that the day-to-day implementation of realizing most, if not all of my goals requires hard, consistent, and persistent effort to achieve. And I believe that anyone who thinks or tells you otherwise, about any aspect of life’s most meaningful achievements, is either lying to you or is living in a fantasy world. And the more lofty the success, the harder you will have to work to attain it. A mountain climber who endeavors to reach a difficult summit—if and when he makes it to the top—arrives at the top sweating, bruised, and fatigued from the long climb, but the breathtaking view at the summit replaces all the fatigue with the sheer exhilaration of accomplishing the task. That’s the reward for hitting the target!

In terms of that portion of your life that you devote to Sunrider, I would like to recommend that you regularly remind yourself about those things you love about being here. Has your life improved by virtue of using Sunrider® foods? Do you appreciate Dr. Chen’s multimillion dollar manufacturing investment to realize the full power of the Philosophy of Regeneration™? Do you look better? Have you made meaningful friends here? Have you improved your financial well-being in proportion to the actual time that you are investing in your Sunrider business on a day-to-day basis (do the math and you may be delightfully surprised just how much money you are making per hour in Sunrider)?* Your reason(s) for being here are not necessarily the reasons another IBO joined, but you need to define them clearly and review them regularly in order to weather the storms of everyday life. “Life” is going to get in the way; but then again that’s just life. Your personal decision to stay focused and stay motivated despite the inevitable failures and disappointments that all successful people must face will make you the winner in the end. And the bigger the winner you want to be, the tougher the disappointments and failures you must be willing to experience. I have devoted an entire section of my personal library to learning about the mental toughness of an elite military Special Forces unit called the Navy SEALs. Prospective SEALs must arguably endure the toughest physical, mental, psychological, and academic military screening program in the world in order to join this small elite community of warriors. Today there are only about 3,000 active SEALS operating in the entire world. From what I have learned so far, I have come to the conclusion that those few individuals who make it through this rigorous training program each had to make a personal commitment to persevere through disappointment and difficulty to the very end, no matter what obstacle or challenge was thrown in front of them. And that’s the true mark of a winner.

In conclusion, you will win only if you are willing to fail. Keep your eyes on your targets, despite “life” inevitably getting in your way. Resolve yourself to do this, and you will realize every meaningful dream and aspiration that you set out for yourself and for your loved ones.

Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum

Sunny and Jonathan Beutler visited the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum on April 18, 2009. Sunrider International was one of the first major donors to the library, and our name is displayed proudly at the entrance to the library and museum. The library thoroughly documents the lives of Ronald and Nancy Reagan. While there, Sunny and Jonathan visited an exact replica of the Oval Office, saw an actual piece from the Berlin Wall, and walked through the Air Force One airplane that President Reagan and Nancy Reagan actually frequently flew in.

They also had the special opportunity of seeing an original copy of the Magna Carta, which was issued in the year 1215. The Magna Carta is one of the most important documents in the history of democracy and a model for the U.S. Constitution. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum has informed and inspired more than one million visitors since opening in 1991. Perched on a mountaintop with sweeping views of mountains, valleys, and the Pacific Ocean, this 100-acre site, 45 minutes from downtown Los Angeles, offers memorable experiences for people of all ages.
