A Big Lifemax “Congrats” to our New Diamond Directors – Family Style!
Lifemax is thrilled to announce two Diamond Director rank advancements in the same week! Congratulations are in order for an outstanding team of twins, Sara Whiteford and Mary Barber, and a dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Susan and Todd Stuart. These two pairs have more in common than the rank of Diamond Director, as Sara, Mary, and Susan are also cousins! Hard work and determination must run in the family, and now it’s paid off for these teams – big time!
Combined with increasing sales momentum and unwavering commitment, the rise of our newest superstars to Diamond Director has helped Lifemax achieve the highest and 2nd highest non-promo sales weeks in company history during their run to rank advancement! Kudos to both the Sara Whiteford/Mary Barber team and the Stuarts, who have also earned their spots on this year’s all-expenses-paid retreat to Cabo San Lucas with Jim and Sherri Wear along with their Lifemax Diamond Director peers in May!
For Sara and Mary, success has always been part of their lives. Not only are these sisters Mila superstars, they also balance the jobs of wives, chefs, culinary consultants, and authors of eight cookbooks. Truly believing that “you are what you eat,” the twins experienced what they call a “complete transformation” after being introduced to Mila and Lifemax. A shared passion for healthy eating and clean living sent Sara and Mary sailing down the path toward Diamond Director, never looking back. The seeds of success planted along the way were nourished with a double-dose of accountability in each other and sprung into the amazing achievement of Diamond Director.
And here are some more words of gratitude, this time from Mary Barber and Sara Whiteford, one of our other Diamond Director duo:
Mary and I extend a heartfelt thank you to our amazing Mila community for enabling us to become diamond directors this past Saturday night. We had BV coming in as late as 10:00pm PST. (Katie was right there for us until the very last minute…… Keeping us from biting our nails off). We are humbled and amazed by the dedication of our team working so hard on our behalf up until the last minute. As Katie Fredricksen says, network marketing is a team sport and there is no doubt about it. We could not have done this alone. Thanks to Katie, whose relentless commitment to Mary and me and to our team is profound. Also, we so appreciate Rachel Garcia for making her rounds in the Bay Area. She was outstanding! Mary and I send our sincerest gratitude to Jim and Sherri and the corporate team as well for making this opportunity possible for all of us. We are as excited as ever about the Lifemax opportunity and can hardly wait to pass on the torch to others in our downline. Truly, the best part about this business is lifting people up, and taking them with us! We could not be more grateful to each of you who made this diamond rank possible for us and congrats again to so many who rank advanced over the past few weeks. In gratitude, Sara and Mary
Similarly, Susan and Todd Stuart’s achievement may have a little to do with their approach in accountability: “We’re 
holding on, holding strong, and holding each other accountable,” Todd recently said. The couple saw their legacy as two-fold early on: to be a husband-and-wife team starting their own business, and to reach out to others to do the same. While listening to cousins Mary and Sara speak on a Lifmeax leader call, Susan was inspired to have an accountability partner…and knew just the man for the job! Since then, the Stuarts have hit the ground running, sharing Mila wherever they go, whether it be with a cop or a guy at a carwash. Lovingly referring to this as their “fun job” (What’s more fun than reaching Diamond Director!?), Susan and Todd also work as an attorney and engineer, respectively.
Here’s what the Stuarts have to say about their path to this great accomplishment:
WOW! Now that is what I call a heck of a two weeks. Todd and I sent out a video of us doing the “RANK ADVANCE DANCE” to the tune of LFMAO “Sexy and I know It,” in which we boogied down and made our team smile. The point of looking stupid and evoking laughter was to rally the troops to make a massive two week push for rank advance, and let me tell you what…Todd and I would have done the silly dance a whole lot earlier had we known the progress our team could make during a concentrated push.
Todd and I cannot name each individual who had a hand in this successful Diamond run because they are far too numerous. I will say that we are humbled by the constant and unwavering support of Kelly Martone and her team of killer runners, Helen McNelley and our growing Aussie superstars (thanks to Kimmy for making a stop in Brisbane and working her magic), the unconditionally faithful momentum of Mary Harvard Nolde, Melissa Fullam, Doug Ray and Mary Catherine Shaw and of course our beloved mentor Katie Fredrickson. Also, a special shout out to Sherri, Amy Sloan and Jonathon Ducos for their troubleshooting capabilities over the past 14 days.
Most of you in the field know that there is one crown jewel in our business…our beloved right hand gal and best friend Carrie Lucado. Without her, our world does not work…at all. She keeps our business hitting on all cylinders and us emotionally stable and NO part of that job is easy! Carrie hit director during our run and that has been one of the most special parts of this journey.
There is no way Todd and I can write this “blurb” without thanking the universe (and both sets of our parents) for Mary Barber and Sara Whiteford. Without them, I would still be in pain and there would be no alternative income and no Lifemax. We would not know any of the people we now refer to as our inner circle. It makes me smile to my very core that just like the lemonade stands we had when we were 8 years old….we are creating a heck of a business. Although there is one massive difference – this time we will be able to buy a lot more than frozen yogurt with our proceeds! Cheers to our fellow sparkly diamond friends Mary and Sara. I can visualize our future.
In closing, we want to say we will continue to make every effort to represent this company and this food to the best of our ability. Our end goal is to be not only successful, but significant. We are all on our way to greatness. Keep your nose down, be consistent and don’t quit. The rest will happen naturally.
