- Mark Hughes first started out with selling his products out of the trunk of his car, but step-by-step helping one person at a time, his amazing energy and health service grew.
- His first costumer was his grandma, (who helped raise him,) and when others saw how healthy and the amazing energy she had (also that she was losing weight and looking great ;), through refferals Mark received even more distributors.

Integrity
- Mark Hughes had to learn many hard life lessons as he built his business, and one of the biggest morals he learned was Integrity and to never give up. He would never go back on his word: (for example) When it was tough times, he would take money out of his own pocket and pay others on time to keep the company going. This was a man of honor and true morals.
Why I Chose him...
- I chose Mark Hughes because I have been using his products for the past 16 1/2 years...
"You are only limited by your own imagination and hard work."
“I am convinced the future will be brilliant beyond compare!”

Founding Herbalife

Risks
- There is always risks involved in business, and for Mark Hughes it was just the same. All of his friends didn't support him so he started fresh. He looked for people who had true integrity and who had the same passion to help people, as he did.
- Though he had risen to the top of the company, when a challenge arose the founder took his money and closed the business. When he went to another company the same thing happened, and Mark decided that he needed to start his own company. He had so much knowledge now on what worked with a company, what motivates the distributors, and what products would really work, that nothing was holding him back.
- So he combined with some scientists, doctors, and nutruitionists, and contracted to make Herbalife International (in 1980).
Beginnings
- This left a mark on him, so determined to not end up like his parents, Hughes wanted to find a way that people could safely and effectively loose weight, while building their health and nutrition.
- He went to seminars and experts of nutrition and later worked at different companies. He rose to the very top of the sales force, as he had such passion for helping other people.
Mark Reynolds Hughes-Beginnings
- Mark R. Hughes came from a very broken home and a very hard childhood; his father was a drunkard who he never knew, he dropped out of school in 9th grade, and when he was 19 his mother died due to unsafe dieting practices.
