Executive Message: It was a Very Good Year

Gary Hollister

2006 was an incredible year at XanGo. And, as we enter 2007, I don’t mind looking back with fondness on the most incredible year in our history.

Since the beginning, each year has been bigger than the one before — 2006 was no different. As we experienced phenomenal growth, we saw XanGo arrive in the pages of national magazines and newspapers. We entered new markets and countries, establishing great promise and a solid presence for the future. Many of our new Premiers traveled to Thailand for the first time as a result of their monumental business efforts.

It was an award-winning year in many ways. But, specifically, Gordon Morton was one of Utah Business Magazine’s 40 Under 40. Aaron Garrity was named the Ernst&Young Entrepreneur of the Year. The Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum named us #1 in their Top 25 Companies Under 5 Years for the second year in a row. The World Summit for Young Entrepreneurs awarded us the Corporate Social Responsibility Award.

In November, we had a revolutionary Convention in the heart of Salt Lake City, extending open arms and recognizing distributors from across the globe. It surpassed every convention and event we have ever hosted. In fact, some would argue that it was the loudest, proudest and strongest event in the history of our industry. We painted the town orange. We were as inspired as we were amazed.

Now, a forecast: 2007 will be the biggest year XanGo has ever had. There is no question. We now inhabit a unique position. We possess the potential, determination and talent to conquer in every arena of our business. As a corporation we continue to up the ante, we continue to lead an industry and prepare for the future by allocating every necessary resource to our collective success. We show no signs of slowing. We will not be distracted from our goal. This is our time.
