In this inspiring leadership and business training call, Zinzino President Art Napolitano introduced Zinzino Co-Founder and 7 Star Global President Hilde Saele, describing her and her husband Orjan as visionary leaders who have built Zinzino with a mission to impact 100 million lives through test-based nutrition.
Hilde opened by speaking about leadership, reminding everyone that leadership begins with leading yourself. She explained that success in Zinzino comes down to consistency and intentional action, especially during high-growth periods such as May through November, which historically have been strong momentum months for the company.
She outlined four key principles for building a successful month in business:
- Set a Clear Goal - Have a meaningful but realistic target. Focus on rank advancement, personal enrollments, customer acquisition, and overall team customer growth.
- Create a Specific Plan - Break goals down into actionable numbers, meetings, and activities. Success becomes achievable when targets are mapped out clearly.
- Define Your Inner Circle - Identify the key people in your team you are committed to helping grow. Leadership happens through personal conversations, mentorship, and proactive support.
- Lead from the Front - Duplication follows action. Hilde emphasized that teams will model the activity, standards, and ambition of their leaders.
Throughout the training, Hilde repeatedly stressed the importance of personal activity, mindset, and belief. She encouraged participants to “zoom out to zoom in” — connecting smaller monthly goals to larger long-term dreams and visions.
A major theme of the interview was ambition and self-belief. Hilde shared how environment and upbringing shape people’s thinking around comfort, security, and freedom. She explained how she and Orian built their vision by repeatedly speaking their goals out loud long before others believed they were possible.
One of the most impactful moments came when Hilde referenced the “Dartmouth Scar Experiment,” a psychological study demonstrating how people often carry invisible limitations and expectations shaped by their past experiences. She used this example to show how mindset and self-perception directly influence business performance and confidence.
Hilde encouraged everyone to consciously reprogram their thinking with empowering beliefs, daily personal development, and intentional dreaming. She stated that successful leaders:
- Dream deliberately
- Act relentlessly
- Educate consistently
She also provided practical guidance on time management and activity levels, recommending:
- 15 focused hours weekly for part-time builders
- 40+ hours weekly for full-time builders
- A strong emphasis on daily prospecting and customer conversations
Toward the end of the call, Hilde reaffirmed Zinzino’s global mission and ambitious company goals, including:
- 100,000 new partners
- 1 million new customer subscriptions
- 10,000 new A-teams
- 5,000 Executives
- 1,200 Diamonds
- 300 Crown ranks and above
She reinforced the company’s belief that test-based nutrition will become a dominant force in the wellness industry and stated that Zinzino’s mission is to “remove the guesswork from nutrition and bring the world back into balance through proof.”
