10 Year History of Tahitian Noni International from July 1996 to July 2006
- By Floyd Holdman
Morinda 1996. Chapter 1 begins.
• Build a company with values
• What defined us:
– Product
– Desire to be different in significant ways

up sponsoring only 4. Today we have 3.

fill up the two missing legs.

Total of commissions, bonuses, incentives: 56% of CV (Commissionable Volume)
Original model was based on US business environment:
• Expenses
• Regulatory
• Legal
• Infrastructure
• Banking, payment, etc.
Expansion in Chapter 1 took us global
Reality of doing business globally
• Our business model restricts us
• Costs: Infrastructure, operating expenses, taxes, legal, transportation, social costs,
product registration, currency exchange
• Every other company researched has included a provision to balance this effect.
• Breakage, different qualifications, payment caps, etc.
• TNI has always treated business anywhere like it was in the US.
Examples of expenses:
• Novel Food in Europe. $4 million
• Russia Social Costs
• Japan banking transactions
• Europe Commissionaire
• Rent
• Salaries, utilities, etc.
--------------------------------------------------

Reality Check: It is not possible for TNI to continue to do business in many markets under their Chapter 1 business model. TNI cannot continue to lose money in any market. They must
maintain a minimum margin output from every market they do business in.

Fact:
85% of TNI sales come from 5 major markets:
• USA
• Japan
• Taiwan
• Germany/Austria/Switzerland
• Norway/Sweden/Denmark/Finland
97% of all profits come from those same markets
92% of all sales come from the top 12 markets. Add:
• Brazil
• Canada
• Mexico
• Australia/NZ
• Hong Kong
• UK
• China
These markets contribute an additional 1.75% in profit
8% of total sales come from remaining 65 (approximate) markets.
These markets contribute the remaining 1.25% of profit

Fact:
USA is our fastest growing market worldwide.
The near-term volume potential in our top 5 markets exceeds the rest of the world combined.
Beginning in 2006, TNI’s strategic objective is to focus the vast majority of their resources on
their top 12 markets with special urgent focus on the top 5.
TNI’s reorganization and preparation for Chapter 2:
• Adjust business model in all markets to reflect our focused strategy
• Support will be applied on a Tiered basis for Product, Success Path, Access Marketing,
Brand Building and other marketing programs.
• Tier 2 markets will be managed by a Regional General Manager over that geographic
region.
• Tier 3 Markets will be managed by a special corporate group reporting to Joel Neilson.
There are no changes to our Compensation Plan design.
Can a Tier 3 country become a Tier 2 country and Tier 2 become a Tier 1?
Yes it can:
• Upward Sales Trends
• Profitability Standards
• CAS Positive Retention
• Strong and Committed Leadership
-----------------------------------------

Newest Bonus Pool:
• Stock option pool from a pool amount of 5% of company
• Qualifications
– Black Pearls
– Club Marquises
– Global Executives
• Pool can be refreshed
• Vested
• Upside potential is substantial

Vested Stock Option Pool
Total company shares 33,000,000
5% for the pool 1,650,000
Offer is Limited - Current Pool Ends at the IPO Date
Timing is critical. The greatest value can be achieved right now.
Option value is calculated by deducting the current value from the market value at the exercise
date in the future. As the company grows and gains market value, the value of the options
increase.

Why is it strategically important for TNI to go public?
1. Capital for expansion and to execute Chapter 2
2. Reward current IPC Leaders and Key Employees
3. Attract new IPC Leaders and Key Employees
4. Prestige and Reputation
5. Public image is enhanced
6. Access to media and publicity
7. Discipline leading to greater return and longevity
Published Compensation Plan
Tahitian Noni International’s revolutionary 4 phase compensation plan is set to payout a full
53% of all commissionable volume from eligible markets in five ways:
• Personal Rebate: 20 % on all commissionable personal volume above 120 QPV per
month.
• Fast Start Bonus: 45% on all volume from new IPC’s from 5 fully compressed
generations. Paid weekly.
• Unilevel Commissions: 45% paid on 8 fully compressed levels. Dynamic compression
ensures that every distributor receives the maximum payout possible for their title.
• Global Bonus Pools: 8% of total commissionable volume from all fully supported
markets is contributed each month to 3 separate bonus pools:
Top Performer Bonus 2%
Infinity Bonus 3%*
Black Pearl Bonus 3%
*Infinity Bonus is paid on Infinity Bonus Volume.
• Vested Stock Option Pool: 5% of total company stock will be made available in the
form of stock options to qualified TNI Leaders. This allows one more significant way for
TNI Leaders to benefit from the success of the entire company.
-----------------------------------------------------

4th Bonus Pool
Previously Announced 4th Bonus Pool attached to Access Marketing will remain in place and
activated as soon as there are profits to share
Now is the Time
As you can see, there has never been a better time to be involved with Tahitian Noni
International than now. We have begun Chapter 2 and the Second Wave is coming! Are you
going to be standing at the station and wondering what just went by or are you going to be on the
train to Financial Freedom and Independence? Now is the time to make it happen.
We have the right product, we have the right leadership, we have the right company and we have
the best compensation plan.
I want to share a thought with you. Have you heard of Korczak? He is the sculpturist that was
carving the Chief Crazy Horse mountain memorial that is close to Mt. Rushmore. It is a
monumental undertaking. During nearly 36 years he refused to take any salary at Crazy Horse
Memorial, on which he worked until his death October 20, 1982 at age 74. It is bigger than Mt.
Rushmore and is still being worked on after his death many years ago. He made it his life's work
and now it is his children’s. He sent a letter to his children to encourage them to continue his
work after he was gone. The closing statement of his letter to his family reads:
"You will find in the darkest hours a feeling of great strength, of great satisfaction, of great
joy and happiness, in carrying out even the mundane tasks that go towards living for
something far greater than yourselves."
Let me ask you, how many lives are you going to effect this week by sharing Tahitian Noni
juice?

Lessons from Jim Rohn for noni IPCs, by Ander Barillas
If you desire to run with the vision of Jim Rohn for leadership, this is the best time. Ander Barillas is here to give us the nuggets that makes for excellent leadership, both in business and life.

"Ia’ Orana dear consultants,

This week I want to share with you the words of Jim Rohn. He says that if you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as an owner, as a manager, as a parent. He calls leadership the great challenge of life.

What is important in leadership is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective. Here are some specifics:

1. Learn to be strong but not rude: It is an extra step you must take to become a powerful, capable leader with a wide range of reach. Some people mistake rudeness for strength. It’s not even a good substitute.

2. Learn to be kind but not weak: We must not mistake kindness for weakness. Kindness isn’t weak. Kindness is a certain type of strength. We must be kind enough and considerate enough to lay it on the line. We must be kind enough to tell it like it is and not deal in delusion.

3. Learn to be bold but not a bully: It takes boldness to win the day. To build your influence, you’ve got to walk in front of your group. You’ve got to be willing to take the first arrow, tackle the first problem, discover the first sign of trouble.

These are three of the 6 points that Jim Rohn talks about. Next week I will send you the last three points.

Tahitian Noni Receives Publicity Boost In Florida Elections
The Chapter 2 of that awesome book called Morinda is getting on stream, as Tahitian Noni Juice 'sipped' into the memory of political audiences and voters in the forth-coming Gubernatorial elections in Florida.

Four weeks ago, I brought to the attention of our noni fans world-wide the story of the "Noni Governor" Michael St. Jean, who among others, aspires to receive the baton from Governor Jeb Bush in Tallahassee. The media blitz that attend to the gubernatorial race has effectively rubbed-on our darling product- TAHITIAN NONI JUICE, in the most prominent news media that are covering the elections. Every appraisal of candidates's chances has led to a good mention of St. Jean's current vocation which is Tahitian Noni Product consultancy. He has also with wisdom, shared his testi'noni' of how the miracle juice has saved him from being bound to the wheel chair.

What a time for our IPCs to take our story to town now that a layer of people who have never or have casually heard of Tahitian noni are hearing it again. What more St. Jean has blazed the trail by defining our focus, He said: "...My biggest asset is that I'm a problem-solver, ..." So let's get the Tahitian Noni out in the electioneering weeks and show the people how the Tahitian Noni Juice and Products can solve problems. This is the "One Good Thing" that can yet happen to Tallahassee!
