Ignorance and Naivet’e can be an obstacle in your path

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

To state the obvious sometimes is not so obvious.  How about this:  Shaklee has a 50 year old proven record of success.  The obvious is still argued today by people who simply don’t take the time to the research and take it as a legitimate lesson  in business.  Even Fortune 500 companies don’t have such a record.  If you have ever read this book, The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman, then you know what this “obvious” concept is telling us.

I’m glad that my little blog is starting to mean something to me.  It means that I’m a student who shares with others.  I found a discussion about how Shaklee products where featured on Oprah.  People where discussing about how they find this event suspect and unfair to the distributors.  They also questioned the rules regarding web promotion.  I then went to my members’ site, and read the website policies and it was all clear to me.  Yet people continue to share notes based on speculation.  How empty is that?  Sorry if I sound judgemental, yet we must do research and gain understanding of the facts if we want to contribute value to any forum.  Isn’t this obvious?

I’m just happy that Shaklee is growing and that millions are getting to hear about it.  There is so much more to come, like the expansion into fifty countries.  We can question that too, or simply be like me, hang on tight and enjoy the ride!

While many wonder others grow

Today Shaklee is the No. 1 Health and wellness company in the U.S. I feel so proud and excited to be able to claim that fact. As a distributor, I’m at the beginning of what could be a great organization, my organization. Last night I watched the 50th Anniversary DVD that took place last year and it was so empowering. One thing that really got my attention and kind of made me silent with respect and amazement is this: The Shaklee organization cares about people of all backgrounds. That sounds a bit generalized, but it is a statement backed up by action. In the DVD you can hear Dr. Shaklee saying “we can offer you this opportunity. We are proud of the quality of these products, but you can’t just believe in the products or the compensation. You have to believe in yourself.” This is more than a wise advice, it is the core of this whole company. I’ll say this: Even if I never reach any level in Shaklee (which is something I have no intention in ever giving up) I will still feel blessed and privileged to have found such wholesome company.
As I am part of this Shaklee family, I can say that WE have a message for you. You have the power to have a healthy and vibrant life, money to take care of your needs and wants, and the power to bless those in need and those you love. Shaklee is a great vehicle for all your goals. But I know that it is a process and that the world doesn’t seem like such a fun place that encourages you to dream big. But Shaklee is growing and heading in a direction that will affect all those who take that important step to pursue a life of abundance, goodness, and so much more. Whatever you want.

Here is a video from a Nashville convention! It’s funny and interesting, but if you listen you may get inspired as I did, that’s why share it:

It is never too late unless you say it is

I say it’s not too late.  I can still rescue my family and future.  I met an incredible person, Angel T., the man who’s been always interested in the good of others.  I also resolved so many issues I had in my family.  I’ve been really regaining focus on my business and family.  Shaklee is still my vehicle for success.  The success I’m talking about is about knowing that I’m being diligent enough to care for others and sharing what I know for their benefit.  This desire of Sharing Shaklee products and the opportunity has been in me for a long time.  So, I don’t think I’ll be selling cars, distributing kitchen tools, or doing telemarketing.  Instead I’ll be praying and growing my Shaklee Business.  I never will give up on myself.
