It's never too late

I want to comment on an article that was in the Minneapolis paper recently about a guy named Bobby Bell. Most of you have never heard of him, but I watched him play football at the University of Minnesota in the early 1960s. The article is about Bobby Bell going back to college to get his degree because of a promise he made to his father in 1959.

Bobby Bell earned his degree at age 74.  The promise he made to his father gnawed at him for decades. People from his small town in Shelby, N.C. told him not to go to the big schools because he would never make it. Bobby led Minnesota to the national championship in 1960, was a two-time All American, played in two Super Bowls, and made the Pro Football Hall of Fame. It took him 56 years to get his degree and he says it's the most important thing he's ever accomplished.

Bobby Bell made good on a promise proving it's never too late to go after a dream. Think back a year or two, a decade, or maybe even many decades - did you have a dream about the kind of future you wanted when you first saw the Shaklee opportunity? Did you want to reach a certain title? To me the main point is it's NEVER too late to continue going forward to reach what you would consider to be your dream. 

It doesn't mater how many years have gone by or how old or how young you may be. What it's about is now. It's about today. Regroup yourself in your mind and get that mental vision of what you want your business to be like in the next two years, or the next five years. This opportunity is very much alive and well.  People who are working at the basic fundamentals are having fun because their business is growing. 

Why not you? Why not now? Go for it.  Keep your dream alive.

Enthusiastically,
