Convention is always one of the highlights of our year, and USANA’s 2012 International Convention – our 20th Anniversary Celebration – promises to exceed all expectations. In addition to learning from the stellar lineup of speakers and enjoying the world-class entertainment, we are excited to connect with our friends and business partners from around the world.
This year we’re starting the celebration a little early by running a “Countdown to Convention” contest. Three randomly chosen winners – one each in June, July and August – will be entitled to a private one hour training session during convention with Collette, Zak and Dax.
To be eligible to enter the contest, you need to do just two simple things:
2. Leave a comment on this blog.
That was easy.
Anyone can enter. If you win our contest but won’t be at USANA’s International Convention, we will be happy to offer the consultation and strategy session over the phone, or internationally via Skype.
Remember to leave a comment below to enter. We will announce a winner the first week of June, the first week of July and the first week of August. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Looking forward to seeing ya’ll at convention! I got to meet Zak last year – and very excited to meet Collette and Dax somewhere in the busy schedule!
We are so excited for the 20th birthday celebration.
We have been involved with USANA for 18 years.
It will be amazing!
As a member of your downline out of Boise ID, I would LOVE to meet the three of you! I have really enjoyed your podcasts, blogs and words of wisdom. I would love nothing more than to top off an amazing Convention with private training from you. Thank you for the opportunity!
Listening to Collette share the story of Sharlie’s transplant(s) at the Healthy Living Summit – WOW, I’ll never forget it. Thank you for sharing so deeply and making yourself so vulnerable. I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who cries when I give a presentation. When I saw this opportunity for one on one time, I had to go for it. My goal is to be a the successful homeschooling Mom who has a thriving USANA business. We are a first year homeschool family and loving it. I recently rejoined USANA after a visit to Sanoviv to get a series of health issues in check (see “My Story” on my website.” I’m loving both and don’t want to give either up and need help figuring out how to make it all work. Am I crazy?!
I’m very excited about Convention this year! It’s my first time going, and I am excited to learn and grow personally and professionally. Thank you for providing this opportunity!
I have been in awe of you since my first convention. You are the best role model….you have a gift of “telling stories”…..I love that you always come from the heart! Cindy
I would LOVE to have a strategy session with you! <3 Robin
You are an inspiration and I love to tell “your” stories in my presentations. They are magically true & life changing and it is a blessing to be one of Sharlie’s Angels. We are on Dean Chionis team, and my son, Kyle, daughter, Keri and I have set up a partnership, modeled after your family business – The Ripple Effect, LLC and we are currently Silver Directors looking for massive growth to empower and change the lives of so many. We are looking to unleash the power within ourselves, so that we can teach others to breakthrough their fears and know that they too can be set free to impact the world. We know the marketplace pays for value and skill, so we would be blessed to be selected for an of hour coaching with your family—we want to learn the most strategic skills from the best! Of course, I already know that “story telling” is one of the best skills!!!!!!!
Thanks for giving back!!! Thanks for all you do!
‘Like’ doesn’t do it for me. I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you, USANA. And you have never disappointed me. I love the whole package: people, products, business. May the whole world know.
Convention just keeps sounding better & better! What could top THIS opportunity?? I would so love an opportunity to talk strategy with you. Thank you for putting yourselves out there and being wonderful, authentic leaders.
Like so many people, I’m way down deep in your downline, but the weekly Larsen Global Calls keep me on track.
OOH! This is such a great contest! I have nothing but respect and admiration for Collette, Zak and Dax (and the entire family) and would love the opportunity to learn from them! I’m having my fourth child in a little over two weeks and am traveling to Convention with him (!)…a session with LGA would be a great boost to my business! Thanks for offering this opportunity!
Collete, You are an inspiration to all who have heard your story(ies). Everytime I have heard you speak, you touch my heart because it’s evident that your stories come from your own. It’s really nice to be on our USANA journey with leaders like you who inspire us to continue, to grow, and to succeed. Thanks for all you do – you and Zak. We appreciate you so much!
It would be an honor to have the opportunity to be able to hear from such great leaders and role models.
Wow! Spending an hour with this team leaders would blow my mind and would be a dream come true. You are all so inspirational and caring people.Your endless energy and faith for positive outcomes in all you have endured has touched the lives of many.
Thank you, thank you , thank you.
We are growing so big (the USANA family) that this might be the only way to talk to you! Thank you for all that you do for USANA and for being authentic and selfless.
Thank you for offering this contest! I look forward to your posts, and it would be such a gift to have a 1-hr training session with you all. See you at Convention! To your continued success, Michelle
I know a sit down with my growing team would add priceless direction and motivation from the best. Thanks for all you do
What an incredible gift. It will be the frosting on the Convention cake.
So grateful for all that you do.
I have never been more excited about USANA! It is such an honor to be a part of this growing Global community and I am excited for everyone involved with this wonderful company! Thank you Collette for leading the way! xox
This is such a generous offer! I’m delighted, but not surprised. Everything I’ve ever heard or learned about your family spoke volumes about generosity of heart. God bless you all!
What a fabulous opportunity to spend some ‘Family’ time with the Driving Force of USANA and have the ultimate pleasure of learning first hand how to add a new skill set to help us help others!
Absolutely precious, Wild
convention tickets – bought
flight – booked
hotel – reserved
training session with Collette, Zak, and Dax – PRICELESS
Just tell me where to be and you’ll here my bells and see my smile beaming as I approach!
Much love,

I have been stuck in my business for way too long and by being stuck, not only do I not serve myself, but most importantly, the thousands of other people I am keeping away from something that might change their lives and the lives of their loved ones FOR EVER. I am asking you to pick me, to help crash through my own barriers and let my light shine to the world! Thank you for doing this and helping the USANA family
Collete and Zak I just wanted to say thank you so much for all you do. Thank for giving back and holding a contest like this. I know whoever wins will greatly appreciate the quality time to learn from you guys.
Can’t wait for my first convention! This year is my 21st anniversary of my heart transplant, and I love how much Usana is helping me to stay healthy.
Victoria,
Wild and I are so excited to be your tour guides for your first USANA Convention! WHoohoo!!!
SO excited to get the team trained and to celebrate an awesome 20 years of sharing the vision!!!

You are amazing people and I am so Excited about Usana’s, 20th convention. I’ve beaworking and learning myself to try and find my Break through. I’m happy to be a part of such an amazing company.
To be able to sit with you and learn from you would be the best thing that ever happened to me and my family.Learning from the best to become one of the best.
Count me in! What a great opportunity. Thanks for coming up with this!
I love seeing the picture of your family. I can only imagine how safe and secure the children must feel everytime they visit your home. I would love to win this contest. My life and my business would be greatly enhanced by the experience. An hour with you would be priceless.
You are an inspiration to all women and such a great role model as a mom to us all. Thank you for all you do.
You are amazing!! All of your family are so inspiring to me. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
God bless you all
What a wonderful contest! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I have met Collette once in Quebec City and Zak twice, once in Toronto and once last year at convention. What I like most about this team is the willingness to help others and they treat people as equals. I would greatly enjoy a session with them that will help grow my business. Have a great day. Rob Hitchon (a Diamond in the rough)
Collette you are my inspiration. I would love to have a training from you all. I am a stay at home mom with 6 kids and 7th due in June. My oldest is 7 and would love to know more on how to work this out with my schedule, see how you did it
I am working pretty hard but it’s not going were I want! oh and by the way, love all you do! Thanks sooo much for this incredible opportunity!
What a great offer — 3 for 1! Brilliant! Thanks so much! Can’t wait till our names are drawn!
Personalized inspiration … can’t beat that. What a great idea.
Looking forward to convention … it will be an amazing experience.
I would love to meet you guys and learn from the best. My Step-Mother, Novene Manley, says you guys are just amazing! I’m crossing my fingers
Thanks Collette & Zak & Dax, for all you do for USANA. Your family has been my mentors for years. Your Story, and especially Sharlie, has been such an inspiration to us all. I connected with Collete 17 years ago because like her my first roll has always been “MOM”
Now my kids are wanting to do the business and it is so great being able to work with them. You all are such a example on how to work this business as a family!! Would love to learn how you do it!!! Thanks again for all you do:)
So amazing! Thanks for your generosity and all that you do for USANA!
Love the products, love the company, love the people. They are so healthy in mind body and soul and inspiring.
Great contest! Thank you for all your contributions to the USANA family
Thank you for all that you and your family have done for the USANA family and people around the world! I’m deeply moved by your actions and is truly grateful for your existence! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I first off want to say thank your for being the amazing leaders you all are in this company! I can’t wait to experience it all over again this year!!
Thank you!
what an amazing line up of speakers. Over the years I have purchased many Success Magazines and now the USANA International Convention has the owner and many of their regular contributors and speakers on stage at SLC. How good is that! I am planning to be there!

This is a wonderful thing that you’re doing! Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Thank you for all you do, Collette, Zak, and Dax! You are tremendous role models, and part of what makes USANA so special.
What a wonderful contest! Will be great to connect at convention!
Can’t wait to meet you all again at convention. See you soon!
Terrific I’m looking forward to the opportunity of learning from you.
So excited about Convention, and the possibility of training!
How exciting! You are an amazing family. I have been in awe of all you’ve accomplished and all you’ve done for the USANA family. What an honor it would be to spend an hour with you. Thanks for the possibility!
“We do good things because there is something in us that calls us to something greater than ourselves.” Chuck Colson
So very grateful for your family. It’s obvious that God, family, friends and USANA are your priorities.
I’m still working on MasterPlan Alliance, the nutrition, wellness and wholeness program for the Navajo Nation with Trinity Health as the foundational program. http://www.trinityhealthweightloss.com & http://www.mpafreedom.com
See you at convention in August.
It would be an honor to learn from the greats! You are going on my dream board and got all fingers crossed. I feel I know you all so well and it would be nice for you to get to know me!
Seriously you and your family are truly an inspiration. I am very open and teachable. Bring it on! Great idea!
What a generous offer!!!! Thanks for this contest! And, regardless of the outcome, I know I’ll get a chance to say “Hi” sometime during that magical convention week.
Thank you for this generous offer. Promoting personal development and coaching as a success strategy is my kind of company!
Hi Guys & Gal!
You are one of the most amazing families and wouldn’t someone be crazy to not do this!?! Colette, you are such an inspiration to me! I remember hearing your story at my first convention four years ago, and I was so touched by it! I had been raising 2 boys (now 18 & 20) with autism (with one twin sister, 18) as a single mom, and you made me realize that there is always someone who has it worse off than you! (Sorry that it was you!) But your grace through it all, is what stood out and continues to stands out! I had just recently gotten married, like you! On several levels, I just really felt a connection with you!
There is a story that I must share with you (oh, Storyteller of Storytellers): I said a prayer a couple of weeks ago – I was being asked to try out another company and wanted guidance as I love the people who asked me to do so & that night when I was trying to turn off my computer – the video of you & Zak talking about USANA and your USANA family came on, the same one that first introduced me to you (I was very new – 2 months into my USANA business when I went to convention and they started it off with a video about your family). I couldn’t find where it was coming from on my computer – I even checked my task manager, and then, I remembered my prayer.
You are the reason I remain in USANA and hold steadfast to my belief in it! In fact, my husband and I have a renewed energy to it! We want to make a difference like you and your family continue to do! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Love, JOY & Peace,
Kristy
Thank you for this Consultation and Strategy Session contest!
This will be my first convention after being involved for (at convention time almost 16 years) – can’t wait! What an opportunity this would be to learn from the best. The inspiration your family has been to us all is truly amazing. Hope that I could make an inspiration back in your direction.

Can’t wait to catch up at Convention Collette – in the Diamond Room!
From the Team Usana Days in Logan, Utah. some fun Times! Have Enjoyed our Connection that is what Life is all about, Connections with the Energy of Love surrounding it. Would Love to Connect with you guys in the Moment for a Session i would be all ears and Heart. See you at Convention !
Collette, Zak, and Dax, Thank you so much for yet another brilliant and generous idea put into action! Collette, you know I love you. Zak, I’ve barely met you, but continue to admire what you bring to the family team. Dax, you are less in the limelight, but obviously an equal (and huge) contributor in your own right, and I want to publicly voice the credit you deserve. This will be such a special opportunity for the lucky winner! Cheers! Jo
Collette, Zak and Dax: thank you so much for doing this. Collette, you in particular are such an inspiration to me. I have been self-employed for many years and one of the most frustrating thing in the business arena has always been the lack of female role models, who continue to be a mother WHILE being successful – and you have done and keep doing just that.
We are very hungry here in the UK to grow this business in this country and put the UK and Europe properly on the map and hope to be up there with you guys someday soon.
Thank you for the amazing opportunities you are givign to all of us.
Sandra
Thank you for offering this excellent motivating contest. We are looking foreword to your posts and training at convention. Patti
Thanks for offering such a fabulous opportunity! You are certainly wonderful role models on how to do this business from the heart and I would love having an hour of your mentoring. My mantra is, “if Collette could do it, I can do it” when times get tough!
Thank-you for this contest!
Thank you for this opportunity. I have enjoyed watchig and learning from you. I have used your saying and it is posted on my dream board. “A dream too big is just the right size” Would love the opportunity to work with you.
I am so looking forward to sharing this momentous occasion with you both, Collette and Zak! I have been following your every move… (almost…
) ) and all I can say is that your entire family, starting with Sharlie herself, of course, inspire in a way that none other can!! I admire your fortitude, your faith and the depth of the love you hold in your hearts!!
I hope I get picked (putting it out there to the Universe….:-))), because I have so much to share with you two!
Blessings!
Thank you for this rare opportunity to possibly meet with both of you for one hour. I have been with USANA for several years and still wish to have a team. I have lots of customers, a great upline/mentor, and have faithfully been to convention every year. Believe it or not, I even compared Dr. Wentz to Walt Disney on a talk I gave about digestive enzymes (it was quite a great analogy!). Even if I don’t get the hour, if I see you at convention, I will certainly wave with a smile.
Hi Donna,
Congratulations on winning the contest. I don’t have your email, so please contact us at info at larsenglobal.com and we’ll arrange your session. We are looking forward to meeting with you.
In the 10 years that our family has been
with USANA there have been many changes. But one thing remains constant, it’s your steadfast commitment to Dr. Wentz and his vision. Thank you Collette and Zak!
Dear Collette, Zak and Dax,
The drive to attend this amazing event for the first time comes from the STRENGTH and the HEART of the Usana business.
To feel, share and experience USANA with others, is to see your newly planted flowers evolve into colourful blossoms and reproduce the beautiful scent of USANA’s passion to build healthy & wealthy communities worldwide.
Hi USANA family, Its Marie-Anne Neveu from Perth WA, I am hoping to win this contest as I need it right now, doing my best to be a PPS b4 June 23, doing 2-3 presentations a week, cheers everyone xx
20 Years! Can’t wait until this convention!!!
Hi USANA family,
So happy to be planning our trip to SLC for this August.
The 20th will be the best international convention ever!
Thanks to all the Larsens for your tremendous support of all USANA associates!
Thanks so much Collette, Zak and Dax for this Countdown to Convention contest. Your family is such an inspiration to me. You have had many ups and downs in your life, as we all do, and yet you have persevered and just got it done! Thanks again for all you do for us!
New to USANA. Registered for Convention. Look forward to meeting everyone there and absorbing the USANA culture and connecting with so many successful individuals. See you there!!
Thanks so much for this contest and the opportunity to have a private training! Glad I saw this post before the first drawing tomorrow
. You all are an inspiration!
Looking forward to convention. Thanks for all you do!!!!!! Namaste!
You are an inspiration. Thank you for this opportunity!
You and your family are such an inspiration to my husband and I.
You are awesome! Thank you for all you do!
You have been such an inspiration to me and I’m really looking forward to seeing you at convention this year! Last year was just not the same with out our “USANA Mama” there, but was thankful you could spend the time these past months with your beautiful daughter! May God continue blessing you and your family!
Crystal Ann
The Larsen clan is so inspiring! We love you all and appreciate all you do for all of us!
You have always been such an inspiration to us. Would love more training as we seem to be in a rut. Kay Strong
So many great things to look forward….and now lets add the opportunity to learn with 10-star diamonds…I’m game!!!!
Thank you for telling the story of USANA by telling your story and teaching the USANA family how to do the same.
Awesome contest I would love to train with the best:).
We have been looking forward to USANA’s 20th anniversary for a few years now and were so disappointed when the date was set back a week from the past conventions. The international gathering we had been so excited to attend now fell on our precious daughter’s birthday! How could we leave her behind? She was the whole reason we started our USANA business in the first place … to bring in some income while I stayed home with her. But, we couldn’t give up our need to be in Salt Lake City… there had to be a solution! We talked, and thought, and prayed, and asked, and finally … we found a way! Our daughter will celebrate her birthday in Salt Lake City with us (and her babysitter).!!!
We know how important Convention is to our business and to our growth, but what an awesome reward it would be to win some one-on-one with you. How wonderful it would be to ask the questions and feel your energy up close. You are already so generous with your time, talents and insights. Thank you for continuing to provide for your USANA family. We have prayed along with you and cried with joy at your nuggets of good news. What a blessing it would be to congratulate you, hug you and then learn more about sharing the vision of Dr. Wentz.
Friends from across the globe – our USANA family keeps us close and connected to Dr Wentz’s vision. Wow and now the Triple Matching Bonus & lots of gifts USANA is going to give away. Convention is going to be the BEST! See you there.

Can’t wait to go to my 1st International Convention and my 1st trip to the states. My love for USANA grew after my 1st AP Convention in Sydney in March. I learnt about the Science behind it and all of its wonderful health benefits, but most importantly felt the passion and the heart of the vision of Dr Wentz – can only begin to imagine how AMAZING Salt Lake will be! Get there if you can, you can’t help but want to share USANA with EVERYONE after you have been touched by Convention
Wow! What a incredible opportunity!! Pick me, pick me!!
What a incredible opportunity!! Pick me, pick me!!

You and your family have inspired my Mom and I, and it would be quite the honor to be selected. We are ready to take our business to the next level! Thank you for all that you do for us!
I admire the fact that you are giving back, circulating the blessings, gifts of knowledge and experience with Usana and in your life. Your challenges and how you have dealt with them, give me/us nspiration, hope, evidence of faith, joy, endurance and grace. I remember meeting you at 2005 convention, you were smiling, sharing what you could to help me and other associates. Thank you for this opportunity. I look forward to seeing you again.
OMGoodness, I can think of nothing that would be more thrilling (not to mention beneficial to my USANA business) than to have a training session with Collette, Zak and Dax. WOW!!!
I heard so much about you and your family’s amazing stories through out my two years of Usana journey and have not had a chance to meet with you in person. Looking forward to meet with you this Convention <3
SOOOO excited to be at convention this year. It is the highlight of my year!

Hi! This will be my first Convention so I’m VERY excited to be there and hopefully meet some of the Amazing Larsens. Thank you for your inspiration!
Thank you so much for your inspiration and example of “Why” you do USANA! You are incredible.
My 3rd USANA convetnion and I have been excited for months. Bringing an extra big box of tissues to wipe away the tears of happiness and joy when I am moved by the amazing USANA Family that will be sharing their stories….Thats you and you family Collette!
I am so grateful for such a fabulous USANA opportunity to share wellness with friends and family. I have been blessed with the wonderful leadership of Wild Bill Jones and Dyann Lyon. Collette, I wonder how many lives you have changed?! Thank you for your ongoing leadership!
As a new associate, this will be wonderful and exciting to be able to see and feel USANA convention 2012 for first time. Love to have the opportunity for that great session of amazing Larsens.
Very excited about this contest. I could use this session to help me move forward!!!
Can’t wait to see you and the thousands of others in the USANA family at Convention!
I am sooooo looking forward to convention … and collecting another hug from you, Collette.
God bless ya …
You are an inspiration!! Looking forward to another wonderful Convention!
Love what you guys do for the USANA family. See you in SLC.
Awesome how the top leaders share. Thank you!
I would love to do a personal training session with you since I have been with Usana for
18 years. It would make a world of difference for my business since the only support I have had is from my immediate sponsor and Collettes meetings in her home 18 years
ago.
You sure know how to sweeten the pot. I applaud your generous spirit and look forward to learning more from you and your team. Convention is like coming home!
Excited for an opportunity to be counseled by one of the most generous, humble and kind teams out there. Keep being you!
Thanks a million for everything that you do for us!! =) Can’t wait to see you both at convention in a few weeks! LOVING the video podcasts!
Always enjoy hearing from the Larsen family! Would be absolutely amazing to recieve personal training!
Looking forward to catching up again ~ very fond memories of our special dinner on the habour Collette
Inspiring as always!
Can’t wait for this years USANA Convention to see you, Zach and whatever other surprises may be planned……
I too thank you for ALL you do for the USANA Family! Your generosity is so amazing. I can’t wait to have that personal session with you! (After all, I am in your downline).
Even Olympians do not have the opportunity to spend time with thousands of happy, healthy people from all over the world, as we do at the Usana convention(a lot of Olympians are very unhappy they don’t get to the podium).
But anyone can join the Usana family and be a part of the Gold Medal Winning team! Can’t wait to celebrate!
I’m so excited to be a part of the 20th anniversary of such an amazing company! I can’t wait!!!
Awesome contest! Can’t wait for this year’s convention. The Speaker Line up is crazy!
Convention is one of the highlights of our year as well. Looking forward to seeing you.
Wow! The motivation never stops. I am so excited about going to my first Convention this year!
Looking forward to my first convention!!!
