Orrin's Years of Hardwork

In one of his/her latest post, an internet poster asked a few questions and planted a few doubts of Team and Orrin.

1. What is Orrin doing or has done in order to make more than US$3,000,000 last year, both from MonaVie product sales and Team tool sales?
2. Should Team leaders not be scrutinising Orrin more closely to see if his income is justified?
3. Did Orrin receive a deal from Darlin Larsen to move his Amway line of sponsorship over to MonaVie?
4. Is the MonaVie Juice worth drinking, since it is presumably not doing anything curative in nature, such as curing backaches and cancer?

Here is a great response to the post from Rykel. Hopefully, the darkness of the Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt (FUD) cast by his/her article will be significantly replaced by the Truths and Facts that shall SHINE.


Hi,

Howdy and yet another interesting and humorously worded post from you! I only hope all writers would be as fun to read as you, rather than some of those who refuse to give others the benefit of the doubt (eg. claiming that I was lying when I said I was busy travelling), and think that all of us leaders have all the interest in the world to engage in debates with them. (we are NOT.) *smile*

Frankly, you have asked many questions in your message, and in most respects, perhaps Orrin is the best man to answer them, since you are asking HIM those queries.

Additionally, some books and history reading would help clarify some of the nagging thoughts, such as "how" Orrin makes $3million a year - namely, the MonaVie Compensation Plan booklet, the MonaVie Income Disclosure Statement and how Orrin started 14 years ago with a decision to build an Amway business.

Further details can also be found in the books, The Team Builder's Textbook, Commerce Through Community, The Science of the Acai DVD, and the How To Get Started With MonaVie CD Pack. Collect Them All. :)

To set the record straight, Orrin himself, in an interview with Art Jonak, said that he did NOT take four months to reach Presidential Black Diamond - it took him FOURTEEN YEARS to reach Presidential Black Diamond. Thank goodness he believed in starting, learnt how to and built a solid AMWAY Team.

Like you mentioned, Orrin does rightfully earn $3million+ from the juice consumption of indeed 10,000+ distributors and he has never failed to let everyone know that the Team is his group of customers. As it is written in the Team website, "A team is a group of CUSTOMERS." AND that YOUR downline team is YOUR group of customers too.

Orrin seeks to serve his customers very well - making everyone feel great about themselves (validation), teaching the team the principles of financial management/healthy marriage relationship/assurance of faith in Jesus Christ etc. At this stage, a man can choose to judge Orrin as less than honorable, or a fabulous and holistic leader.

Orrin's positive influence on others' lives is enormous, and unless you know the man personally, it is difficult for you to even fathom the amount of broken relationships/desperate lives he has directly/indirectly saved, not to mention the number of humans whose health have become better thanks to Orrin making public the existence of the acai berry juice.

And I personally know retrenched citizens of Singapore who went into the MonaVie business with Orrin, and, learning the ropes of retailing, now makes a Good living moving 12 cases of juice PER WEEK to Retail Customers, who call them up for the juice via word of mouth referrals. These people LOVE Orrin Woodward, for your information. He has made a difference in their finances!

Does Orrin have a sweet deal with Darlin Larsen to "move" over his Amway downline?

First of all, there is ZERO evidence that Orrin had any deals. Secondly, EVEN if Orrin had a deal, does he not deserve a special offer, since he took more than a DECADE to build up the Team? Just like a CEO getting a BIG deal for switching over to a different company, Orrin is only enjoying the fruits of his labour. (again, Orrin has NO deal, but we are just assuming for the sake of discussion)

So, to answer your questions once again in summary -

1. What is Orrin doing or has done in order to make more than US$3,000,000 last year, both from MonaVie product sales and Team tool sales?
2. Should Team leaders not be scrutinising Orrin more closely to see if his income is justified?
3. Did Orrin receive a deal from Darlin Larsen to move his Amway line of sponsorship over to MonaVie?
4. s the MonaVie Juice worth drinking, since it is presumably not doing anything curative in nature?

Here are my answers for your sincere consideration -

1. Yes, Orrin is earning an OVERRIDE of bonuses from the MonaVie 8-type compensation plan AND profit-sharing from his share of the Team profits;
2. Yes, indeed, tens, if not hundreds and thousands of Team leaders, have investigated Orrin's claims/activities and found his integrity satisfactory;
3. Yes, NO deal from Darlin. If there was, Amway would have found the proof; and
4. Yes, drinking 19 fruit juices a day in and of itself is worth every penny. We are not talking about apples and oranges, but rather, Acai, Aronia, Camu Camu and other expensive, precious and exotic fruits.

* The Hong Kongers have told us Singaporeans that MonaVie would cost MORE THAN US$40 per bottle of we bought the same blend from the juice stalls.

Last but not least, to answer your moral question in a nutshell, "Does Orrin deserve or is he entitled to so much income?"

I humbly submit that my answer is a resounding

YES, YES and YES!!!

God Bless, Rykel from Singapore

    An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need to publish more on
    this issue, it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't
    speak about these issues. To the next! All the best!!
