Shaklee will be in 50 countries and it will make a difference in millions of people. Despite changes in the economy, scarcity, and any change in our world, you can’t fight demographic trends. Certainly this is something anyone in Shaklee can be proud about. Yet, many of us are not in a position to jump into the opportunity. We have basic challenges involving bills, food, and employment. On a TV spot they say that multilevel companies should not be sought out as a replacement of your current job. The average person makes 250 per month. Still Shaklee has paid the most commission checks in the industry. And Shaklee has also invested the most money into their product research. If you were to join any direct marketing company it should definitely be Shaklee. We will be in 50 nations and we are the Number 1 health company in our industry! Still, individuals may not jump up off their feet in excitement because they’re tired from their hectic day. People may feel that it sounds good on paper or on a CD, but they can’t see how they could really be a part of it!

From what I am surrounded with, most of us have resigned to what we consider “reality.” That’s not to say that we aren’t dreaming of a better life, but we are keeping that for lighter conversations. We all desire a life of good health, adequate income and great experiences. The question is how will this become possible for the rest of us? And the answer is the same as in the movie The Matrix. In fact, I once heard a story of a man who got locked inside a freezer and he decided that he was going to die. Because he believed that he was going to die, he grabbed a piece of card board and started recording how he was feeling as he gradually died. The next day they discover his body and the note. He was dead, but not because of the temperature. The temperature was not sufficiently cold to freeze. He could have survived. We choose.

So I encourage you all as I encourage myself to believe you can and will have he life you want. Last night I saw a man on TV who had no legs and no arms. He said that if he had to choose to have his legs and arms he would not. His life was filled with joy and accomplishment, as he had traveled throughout the world talking to people about God. He said that it’s not what you “have” or don’t “have”. It’s about being available.

Wipe off your tears and stop grinding your teeth. I suggest we take baby steps and claim this awesome life. And, so far I haven’t found any other company that I can trust to partner with and proudly represent in my business than Shaklee.

The Future of Shaklee and all of us

Mario Hurley

I must be really misguided to still be pining at the belief that I will actually build my Shaklee business. The truth is that I have been holding on for a few years now. I have believed in the Shaklee business philosophy for at least 5 years. There was a time when my wife also believed in it as much as I do. We did a few adventurous things like giving away lemonade at the park (only a few uninterested kids asked for some to drink), going door to door to talk to our neighbors in our apartment complex (that brought one lady who had back pain) and we also gave away little Basic-H’s. Today “Basic H” is “Basic H2″, which is truly a pleasure to use in the house for almost anything.

All these experiences were filled with sobering results. In retrospect, I know that we could have approached it in a more professional or planned/structured way. Still, we took some individual bold steps and we ought to be proud of being willing to do whatever it takes to achieve our goals. I also believe that our reckless abandon was influenced by some of the claims we had been hearing in our business CD’s. So called leaders stated things like “back in 1989 I started working from home and today I enjoy my beautiful house and I get to see my children going to college and living the life.” It made us want to have the same so much, and we didn’t really know how to get started. So we did what we thought we were supposed to do. Etc.

But here I am determined to make a name for myself using this oh so awesome and admired belief called Shaklee. The man that started it all (Dr. Forrest Shaklee) certainly was pretty determined. As the story tells it, he had this idea of creating products that truly had the best nature had to offer. In turn one benefit from the full potency of the ingredients and the body receives the nutrients to make it stronger and fight diseases and other preventable illnesses. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg, but I’ll share more on this on future posts.

I’d say, doing Shaklee is one of the few truly worth while things to do in life. I have so much to be proud about the heritage, foundation, and future of this company. I want to make it mine; share it with people with excitement and truth. The earnings are more than suitable and it’s just a matter of finding your focus.

I’ll summarize my rambling with a simple phrase: Building Shaklee is a serious task with immensely fulfilling potential.
