In March 2011, I was diagnosed with lymphoma. That was a huge wake-up call for me. I realized I needed to re-evaluate everything that went in my body, on my body, and into the environment around me in order to regain my health and keep it. I began to search for safe, effective nutritional supplements to support my recovery as well as green cleaning and personal products to avoid cancer-producing chemicals in my environment. That’s when I discovered the Shaklee line of supplements, personal products, and green cleaning products. With a 50-year history of extensive research and development and a corporate commitment to develop products that are “Always Safe, Always Green, and Always Work”, I knew I’d found a partner in regaining and retaining my health.
One of the first products I used was the sports drink. During chemo treatment, I was supposed to drink 90 oz of fluids a day. The problem was that water tasted like metal and juices and flavored drinks were so sweet that they made me nauseous. The Shaklee sports drink gave me the electrolytes my body needed so badly and made it easy for me to get all the fluids I needed without suffering bad tastes or nausea. Next, I added the Vitalizer pack so my body would have the nutrition it needed to counteract the effects of chemo and begin to rebuild a healthy body beginning at the cellular level. I also began using the personal care, laundry, and cleaning products. They all work better than anything else I’ve ever used. The best thing is that there are absolutely no cancer producing chemicals in anything I’m using now and I no longer have to choke on chemicals in order to have a clean house.
I also took a look at the Shaklee business opportunity at the same time. For about a year I’d been working with a group of real estate investors helping them find and buy houses to wholesale, fix and flip, and keep as rentals. I learned so much during that year, but woke up one day and realized that I was working 80+ hours a week and still not meeting my goals. Even worse, I realized I was making less than minimum wage for all the effort I was putting out and had simply created an endless JOB for myself. If I quit working, I quit earning. The reality was that I simply couldn’t continue to work those kinds of hours anymore.
I realized that what I really needed to do was build an asset for my family—a true B-quadrant business that would grow and reward me for my efforts. I also wanted to create generational wealth—something that could be passed on to our son, his children, and his children’s children. I wanted a business that would create what Robert Kiyosaki calls “excess cash” for investing in real estate and other investments. But, most important, I wanted that business to create “excess cash” so I could support causes I feel strongly about. I want to help widows and orphans; I want to provide clean water, good food, and medical care to those who lack those things; and I want to help rescue children out of the sex trade around the world. The Shaklee business opportunity is the vehicle that is taking me down the road to meeting those financial goals.
It was an amazing answer to all of my prayers when I responded to a simple radio ad and discovered one company that could help me protect my health and my environment, while also building my financial future. I’m looking forward to sharing that discovery with you.
