April!
It's April! Spring will be here soon.
On the last day of March we went to see Roger Barnett at the last meeting on the Next Generation Tour.
Al Hegerman gave the business plan presentation. Al has a habit of not depositing his monthly bonus check until he gets the next one. At the meeting he had two since he didn't have time to deposit the older one before heading out here for the meeting. Both of those checks were over $100,000. That $100,000 per month! Not bad for a guy who has been retired for years.
Roger spoke about some of the future plans for Shaklee. Gave us a hint about new nutritional products, and the Million Trees program. He has a dream that Shaklee can help people improve their lives all around the world. In the New News section we learned China issued Shaklee a permit to do business there. That is a HUGE market. Remember, if you know anyone from China, get them sponsored. When China is fully open you can build a group there. Taiwan is open now along with Mexico, and Canada. This means you can build a group in these countries as if they were here in the US.
Speaking of countries.... Rodger talked about the land of OR. The place where most of us have lived.
In the land of OR you have to make choices between:
- Making a good living -OR- Doing good
-
- Making a career -OR- Time with family
-
- Nutritional food -OR- Tasty food
If you want to work for a non profit organization it's hard to make enough money to provide for the family. Things like college for the kids, vacations to the Caribbean, much less a retirement income.
You can work hard to advance in a career, but this requires you to work hours far beyond the 40 hours you're getting on your pay check. I know that I have put in 50, 60 and more hours for years. The owners of the company are flying private jets, own several homes, and go on vacation whenever and wherever they want . They have done a great job of leveraging the efforts of others.
Remember growing up and knowing that if your Mom said it was good for you, you knew it wasn't going to taste good? Chocolate bars, donuts, frenchfrys; the mouth says YES, but the rest of the body says “What are you doing to me?”
Not lets assume there was a place call the Land of AND
In the Land of AND you don't have to make choices like those.
- A good living -AND- Do good for those around you
-
- Making a career -AND- Spend time with family and friends
-
- Great Nutrition -AND- Great taste
Shaklee enables the Land of AND.
With Shaklee you succeed by first making someone's life better. Maybe you showed them products that enabled them to get to a healthy weight, or cut down their allergy symptoms by having them use clean cleaning products. Maybe gave them an opportunity to build an income they would not have otherwise been able to achieve. At the same time you are earning a living. The more people you help, the more you earn.
One of the biggest reasons people say they want a business they can work from home is so they will have more time with their family. This is a huge benefit that Shaklee offers.
Good food can taste good also. I have learned to make marinades that have no sugar or fat. Put chicken in the marinade for 30 minutes (or the night before) put it on the grill for 15 minutes and you have a very tasty dish. Add some fresh veggies, and you have a meal.
Ask anyone who is on the Cinch program. They know how good it tastes.
With Shaklee, it easy to learn to eat well and enjoy what you eat.
So where to you want to live? In the land of OR or the land of AND?
I like the choices in the land of AND, and I have moved there. I still have some commitments in the land of OR, but I am moving out of OR as fast as possible.
I hope all of you get to live in the Land of AND.
