The word for today is "possibilities"

On May 1, 1970 I saw and heard a new idea. I had only met the guy who showed me this idea about 30 minutes before he started talking about this company and the possibilities for the future. A friend of mine had put me in touch with this friend of his but he couldn't tell me what he did.  All he told me was that he was looking for people, so I got his phone number and called him to make an appointment for him to show me what he had. I went to his home and we sat in his office downstairs. He asked me a few questions, then did a demonstration of Basic H, had a printed booklet and he talked about building a future with Shaklee. What he talked about was how he viewed the products, the company and the possibilities that were available for anyone who would evaluate some products, come listen to a couple meetings, meet some successful people, set some goals and then be willing to learn how to build.

He gave examples of his two uplines' earnings and had proof to back it up.  It just happened that they were two of the most successful people in Shaklee at that time and they lived less than 20 minutes from where we were sitting. He talked about residual income, incentives for earning a car, travel incentives, the possibility to have my own business (I wasn't looking for a business, I was looking for a job), the possibility of having control of my time and there was no ceiling on what a person could earn.

I had never been offered anything that seemed to offer the kind of possibilities he was talking about. I remember feeling very compelled to learn more and to find out if all of this was true. I checked this opportunity out for four months.  I learned that it was indeed true and I decided that I wanted what this company offered. When I reflect back the main reason I made a decision to check this company out was because of the possibilities. What if...?

It's still true today in 2014. The possibilities are unlimited. It takes a lot of work but then everything takes work.  The stakes are high. What is it you want?  To earn more than you need? Travel? To have your own business? To help lots of people? To have control of your time?   Think about it. Ask questions. I've said this before and I'll say it again, this is a very simple business but remember, simple doesn't mean easy.

In a few short years you can do what many people have done and that is to live your dream.

Enthusiastically,
