I found this very simple comment and for some reason it kind of jumped off the page. It isn't anything new really but some times I think we should just get back to the basics with simple ideas, and focus on the fundamentals for making things work and just do it.

Of course I love simplicity so that is probably the reason this kind of got my attention. This business isn't very complex but it does require someone to see the idea, wonder if it's really true that someone can build a future and help many people along the way. If you are that someone who has evaluated the products, have attended a couple meetings, have met someone who has built a successful business and have been impressed with Shaklee as the vehicle that can help you succeed, then it's time to take the next step.
It doesn't matter if you've been in this business for 2 weeks or 20 years. There always comes a time when it's time to commit. I learned years ago that I have to renew my commitment over and over again. As I say at meetings at times, "when I got started I was discouraged about every 3 days, then every 3 weeks, then every 3 months, then 3 or 4 time a year. The point is simple, I always just had to remind myself that I wanted everything Shaklee offered and then I would mentally renew my commitment and get to work.
Over the weekend why don't you think about the time when you first used the products or started to believe you could build yourself a future that would be fun and exciting. Just think about that sense of excitement you had, the dreaming that probably took place. Take yourself back to when you had so much excitement you couldn't sleep. I know that happens because it happened to me.
Keep in mind that the person who WON'T be stopped, CAN'T be stopped. It's all up to you.
Enthusiastically,
