JImmY SmITH:
LIvIng And SharIng THe Dream
YOu’D THINK TurNING 80 in March would have
caused Isagenix® Top Income Earner Jimmy Smith to
pause and take some time off to enjoy his success. But
rather than lying on a secluded beach somewhere or
traveling the country in his 40-foot luxury motor home,
Jimmy is on the same mission as always — to change
lives and help others fulfill their dreams.
“I’m just getting started. You haven’t seen anything
yet,” says Jimmy. “When you have this knowledge in
your head and have worked as hard as I have for so little
(money) for so long, I want to share this with everybody
I can. I can’t sit home and watch television or take a nap
with this in my head.”
Jimmy is passionate about sharing what he has
learned about network marketing over the past 20 years
and he’ll talk to anyone who will listen. Jimmy is a 9-Star
Golden Circle, multi-million dollar earner* who has more
than 150,000 people in his team with an average of 300 to
400 additional Associates joining each day.
He earns more than $2 million each year* from his Is-
agenix business and is working on maxing out his second
re-entry position. But don’t let all of his success intimi-
date you. He started his business just like many others: a
man who left a stable, full-time job to take a leap of faith
and try network marketing.
“If my creator asked me to write this script down
when I was in my 20’s, 30’s or 40’s, I couldn’t have writ-
ten this,” says Jimmy of his life. “It’s just beyond my
wildest dreams.”
So what could a man who has everything possibly
want for his birthday? Even though he celebrated the
milestone occasion with family, friends and his Isagenix
team, there’s still one thing he wants — the chance to
share with others what he has learned. In person, he’s
a soft-spoken, humble man who doesn’t brag about his
earnings, but wants others to see the potential of Isagenix
and make their own dreams a reality.

“That weekend I told God that I was sick and tired

Luckily for Krista, her prayer partner knew someone
that had recently lost 40 pounds* using Isagenix®. At first,
Krista was hesitant to try the products because it seemed
like past diet programs she’d tried that encouraged replac-

the nutrients it needed, she knew it wasn’t a diet plan, but
a lifelong solution.
