♦Success: Dr. John, as Members commonly refer to him, is a member of the Chairman’s Club, AIM’s highest-level of achievement. “There really is no limit to the financial rewards one can receive through a successful AIM business. I have seen many people reach Director level and have their mortgages paid every month with a year of solid effort and energy expended. The key is signing up Members who become daily consumers of the AIM products, and helping them reach out and sign up others who do the same. Retirement income that far outweighs the 9-to-5 company pension is much more than a possibility when Chairman’s Club is the goal.”

♦ Opportunity: Many AIM Members find it rewarding to assist other Members in understanding the AIM products and business-building opportunity. If you counted up the number of teleclasses, speaking engagements, and training seminars, you would not find a Member with more on his calendar than Dr. John. He is at ease speaking about a product, the AIM compensation plan, or giving a motivational piece of advice. “I love to give my time and energy to AIM teleclasses and AIM speaking engagements because I love investing in people who have a passion for AIM and for helping others. It was for this reason that I approached AIM about my four-week Shoot for the Stars teleclass. Many AIM Members who have taken that course are already seeing excellent growth and financial rewards in their businesses. I am working one-on-one with AIM Members from all over the world, helping them discover their natural talents and apply them to their lives and to their AIM businesses.”

♦ Nutrition: Until 20 years ago, Dr. John suffered from a gum disease that required up to four trips to the dentist each year, often meaning a painful surgery. Then he was offered a jar of AIM’s green barley powder by a colleague. As a favor to him, he tried it. “I saw no benefit in taking the product,” he says. “Then I went to the dentist, and he saw a difference. He noticed a tremendous difference in the health of my gums. It took me another two weeks to realize it was the barley powder that was making the difference. I went from three or four cleanings per year to none. Green barley powder made all the difference; I decided to become a Member of AIM.”

Dr. John is a practicing chiropractor in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, a city of 130,000 about one hour north of Toronto. He and wife Marilyn have four children and one grand-child. Dr. John uses the AIM products in his practice. “As we work with our patients, we target the problem areas … and we want to support the patients’ problem areas with strong nutrition from nutrient-dense foods. We always recommend AIM BarleyLife®, AIM Herbal Fiberblend^®, and AIMega® as baseline nutritional support. Other products are recommended depending on nutritional needs. AIM Frame Essentials®, AIM Proancynol 2000®, and AIM Cell Wellness Re­storer™ are wonderful products that promote joint and spinal health.”

Dr. John doesn’t just preach the AIM product message of good health, he uses many of the products himself. AIM BarleyLife® for overall health and nutrition; AIM Herbal Fiberblend® for colon health and cleansing, plus meeting fiber needs; AIM Garden Trio® for full spectrum nutrition; AIM CellSparc 360® for cardio health, energy, and gum health; AIM Proancynol® 2000 for antioxidant nutrition in fighting free radicals and for immune health; and AIM Peak Endurance™ for energy and ATP replacement.

While Dr. John is emblematic of Nutrition, Opportunity, Success, his image among AIM Members is clear: He is a keeper of the AIM message of health and wealth. He has remained steadfast to the company through good times and bad. Looking for someone to spread the word about the products, talk up the business plan, or provide that all-important motivational message? Dr. John is always a popular choice.

“I have remained loyal to AIM simply because AIM has remained loyal to me,” says Dr. John. “I have always from Day 1 felt a part of the AIM family. The company has weathered storms that would have doomed 90 percent of other companies. It has done that because the owners and executives have always invested in AIM Members, providing them with the best products and helping them share the products and health message. AIM has always provided the best in win-win opportunities.”
The most cherished piece of advice of Dr. John ever received, he says, is one he continues to pass on to this very day. “It was in early 2001, when I was making my run for the Chairman’s Club. I was in Nampa, Idaho, riding around with Jim Kling, a founder of the company and a Member of the Chairman’s Club. We were sharing thoughts and ideas about achieving success in the AIM business and suddenly Jim pulled the car over, turned to me, and said, ‘Johnny (he’s the only one who calls me Johnny), don’t you ever quit.’ And since that day I never have.” He continues: “The best piece of advice I give to my downline certainly starts with never quit. Then I always tell them that the best service is outrageous service, the kind of service that customers and downliners would never expect.”

Motivational author Zig Ziglar provides Dr. John with a quote that is often part of one of John’s motivational presentations: “If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.” Dr. John feels AIM Members have dreams, but sometimes don’t believe in themselves, so he offers his background as a certified consultant/life coach through AIM presentations to help them. He also issues a challenge: “I believe that many AIM Members need to step out of their comfort zones, start planning meetings so they can begin to reach people with health challenges and show them that they can help themselves with the Healthy Cell Concept® and the AIM products.”

Dr. John seems the embodiment of something said by author Robert Allen, who often writes about what it takes to be successful. And Dr. John would like AIM Members to have that same sense of who they are and who they can become. “Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you,” says Allen. “Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you’re greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn’t understand.”
