OUR STORY BEGINS HERE...


Hello and welcome to NYC MonaVie. My name is Jeremy Ben Sherman and this is my MonaVie story. For almost five years now I've been working for EMS (Emergency Medical Services) taking care of the injured and sick people of New York City. My soon-to-be-wife Katie, has been pursuing a career in the performing arts since graduating college six years ago. This pursuit of hers has been very stressful because the job market is extremely competitive, so in order to make ends meet, she's been working as a waitress. Fortunately, she's a singing waitress on Broadway, so at least she still gets to perform nightly.

We met, working as servers, at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company in Times Square, NY about five and a half years ago. We worked a few shifts together and then she was gone. I didn't know that she would spend that summer performing in Summer Stock in Maine. The following Thanksgiving I took a New Jersey transit train bound for NYC, from my Father's house in NJ. As if by some divine intervention, she got on three stops later. Of all the train cars, and of all the seats available, she sat in the one directly across from me. Well it had been at least eight months since we last saw each other, but I recognized her beautiful face immediately.

She was talking on her cell phone, and I made it appear as if I was reading the Biography of Ghandi, but all I could think about was what I was going to say to her when she hung up. The moment arrived, and I said "You used to work at Bubba Gump's, right?" I know... classic pickup line. She said yes, and that she remembered me. We spent the rest of the train ride talking and... flirting. By the time we reached Penn Station, I finally got up the courage to ask her for her phone number. We had our first date one week later and have been together ever since. We will be married in about three weeks as of this post.

About nine months ago we were introduced to MonaVie. We first heard about it from Katie's mother, who had just enrolled. She gave us a bottle of the Active to try and told us a little bit about the business opportunity. We had a taste and to be perfectly honest, we weren't too crazy about it. It wasn't until this past January (when we were introduced to the Pulse, Mmun, and Emv products) that we finally realized we really had something here. We absolutely loved the way they tasted and more importantly how they made us feel. Katie gave the Active another go, and after a couple days got used to the taste. It probably had to do with the way her knees and back felt afterwards. Since she's not only a beautiful singer, but also an incredibly talented dancer, she has suffered from joint pains for many years. Since drinking MonaVie Active, her pains are all gone. Also she's been sleeping much better, which means I've been sleeping better too. Thank you MonaVie :)

For me, I noticed that when I drank the Emv energy drinks about 20 minutes before exercising, I had incredible workouts. I was pushing more weight and running faster for longer. Now I'm no Brad Pitt, but I'm in pretty good shape if I do say so myself. Normally I'd poop out after about 45 minutes into my workout, but since drinking MonaVie Emv, I have to force myself to stop after an hour and a half. So basically, what I do everyday is drink 2 ounces of M(mun) after breakfast, to protect my body from the sick people in NYC I encounter; I drink 1 can of Emv twenty minutes before I exercise; and because my Father suffers from heart disease, I drink 2 ounces of MonaVie Pulse after dinner (4 ounces if I ate meat).

One week after we were introduced to the MonaVie Pulse, M(mun), and Emv products, we were brought to a MonaVie Tasting Party. Ambushed is more like it. Katie and I thought we were gong over to our good friend (and now mentor) Mace's house to try some new wine he picked up. He said for us to come over for a tasting and my mind automatically went to alcohol. Anyway, we drank some free MonaVie juice as he thoroughly explained the compensation plan. He told us how there are 10 ways to earn income; and that MonaVie's CEO was named Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for 2009; and how MonaVie reached the $1 Billion in revenue mark faster than any other company in history; and how MonaVie has produced more millionaires in its five years of existence, faster than any other company in history. He then told us that MonaVie ranked #1 on the 2009 Inc. 500 list for the Food & Beverage category, ranked #3 for revenue, and #18 overall out of the 500 fastest growing companies in the world.

Needless to say we both were very excited about this, but Katie and I decided the timing wasn't right (with the wedding and honeymoon coming up and all) and that we would need a little more convincing before we could commit. So later that week we attended our first local meeting. It was held at the swanky Midtown Manhattan Hilton. When we arrived we were immediately blown away!!! The energy of the attendants and the excitement of the speaker were amazing. The room, that held 500 or so people, was above capacity by at least 200! At one point, we were actually threatened by someone that worked for the Hilton, who said he'd throw us out if we didn't find chairs for all the people standing; some kind of fire hazard or something. Little did he know that there were four Staten Island firefighters in the room who netted over a million dollars, part-time last year just by telling their friends about this amazing juice.

The best part of the night for Katie and me was when the speaker brought some people up on stage with him to tell their own stories. These average people, were making well above average residual incomes. Each person's story was more exciting than the next! They each told their stories of how they started with very little and now are making $100K, $250K, even $600K annually. This one 70+ year old guy, who used to be a beer vendor at Yankee Stadium for 32 years, is now a Blue Diamond in the company making over $350,000 a year... residually!

Well we were sold after the event and couldn't wait to get started! We signed up that very night, had a tasting party of our own a few days later, (thank you Mace for supplying the juice and materials) and have been rocking this thing ever since! We started our own part-time MonaVie business, for a very small investment, all the while working 50 hours a week each at our day jobs, and saving up to pay for our entire wedding and honeymoon. If that wasn't enough, one month later I completely ruptured my ATF ligament in the my ankle and have been out of work ever since. It took awhile before I was able to stand without the aid of crutches, let alone walk. I'm just so thankful that we enrolled with MonaVie when we did. Katie and I have been pulling through, having tasting parties, attending meetings, and introducing this wonderful product to as many people as we can. We've only just started and we're making on average an additional $100 per week. An extra $100 a week may not sound like a lot of money to you, but not only are we now drinking for free, over the course of a year, that translates to over $5,000. Good luck asking your boss for $5,000 raise.

As for the future, our main goal is to become financially free and we do believe it is possible with MonaVie. We both know we can never be free from the grind of waking up, going to work, paying bills, going to sleep, and starting all over again the next day. We know we can never be free doing what we're doing right now. My personal goal, is to bring Katie home from the restaurant and retire her from a life of waitressing. I do not want my beautiful wife carrying heavy dishes up and down stairs, or belting out ABBA tunes to foreigners who can't understand her, when she's six months pregnant. I do not want someone, other than Katie or myself, raising our children because we have to work all the time. We want to be able to provide our children with the kind of life we never had, because both our parents were never home. We believe that's not the way people in this country should have to live or grow up. I believe this is still the Land of Opportunity! If you agree with me; if you want to change your life for the better; if you want to know more about this amazing opportunity my soon-to-be-wife and I firmly believe in, we urge you to check out our website at http://bensherman.mymonavie.com/, put up a post of you own, or even shoot me an e-mail at sherman825@hotmail.com and I'll quickly reply.

Thank you for taking the time read my MonaVie story and I look forward to reading yours...
