Stories are powerful

I’ve been thinking about what we did the first 12 months after we joined Shaklee. I had made the
decision that we were going to build this business no matter what it might take. The reason I
was committed to become successful in Shaklee was because I wanted everything Shaklee was
offering. It didn’t grow as fast as I thought it would but I knew from experience that a key for
 improvement meant I had some learning to do.

One major thing we learned was we had to learn how to tell our story. We didn’t have much to
talk about but the reason I say we had to learn telling our simple story was because that is what
I saw our sponsor do every week. He told his story about the products and about how he saw the
future of this business. I heard his story many times but I always left the meetings feeling better
than when I arrived. In other words, I always got inspired at the meetings.

I went to meetings every week. Actually, I attended two meetings a week for the first 6 to 7 months.
The meetings my sponsor did in his home had 3 to 6 people attending. The meetings grew larger
than just a few people but what I remember most was the success stories and testimonies about
the products.

Do you have a good simple story to tell? Do you find yourself telling your story at every appointment? I can assure you that the more you tell your story, you will experience growth.

Stories have power.
