A way "out" from a stress-filled life

The stresses and pressures of life can really weigh you down, get the kids up, go to work, come home, make dinner, try to spend some time with the kids, put them to bed, and then....pay bills--the stress level just ratcheted up about 10 notches. It just seems like it's harder and harder to just keep up(who can even dream about getting ahead!)

We recently had conversations with 3 separate people about this very topic, and they fell into three distinct categories. One feels there can't possibly be anything better, "we're just always going to struggle, so let's just get used to it." The next one is thinking about ways to cut back, to lessen the expenses in the household. The third one wants to "do whatever has to be done" to make life better and to reach the goals they have as a family. As we talked, we explored their options, the wife or husband could get a second job that would take them away from the family because they already both work full-time. Then we talked about working from home with a company that shares the same values that they do, helping people, being debt-free.

They've decided to team up with us and enhance people's lives by introducing others to Melaleuca. They've had great success in just a few days. They've shared the information, and are well on their way to making a substantial supplemental income! It's so much FUN working with them!

It's amazing....in a matter of a week they went from being stress-filled to having a plan and working it and seeing their goals being met...I LOVE my job!

Be careful what you throw away!

I ran into a lady at the store today who's been a customer with for over a year. We chatted a little bit about what  products she likes and how her life is being enhanced by being a part of this great company. At one point she sheepishly admitted something to me. She's been throwing away the 8.5x 5.5envelope that came every month around the 17th of the month because she just thought it was some kind of statement...... until one day....She had decided to open it up and after she took out the papers, she inadvertantly dropped them and on the last page was a check! It wasn't a huge check, just about $3, but she had just been about to throw it out! Her husband looked at it and said, "Is that a REAL check?" She said, "I think it is!" and then she realized....She'd been throwing out checks for a year! Now I know that $3 isn't much--but it's a cup of gourmet coffee! So the lesson that I hope this conversation teaches you, is that as customers with our company you can get a check EVERY month-up to $50! So read your mail, and cash your check! And on your way to the bank think about this--Has WalMart ever given you a check just for being a customer.....

A New Month, A New Adventure

So April burst forth today! I woke up feeling pretty yucky with a cold and then got some GREAT news! We are able to continue to offer $1 enrollments! Last month the company grew by 50,000 in North America. Can you believe it?

I've been reading on facebook about friends who are losing their jobs as teachers in New Jersey. It breaks my heart! They dedicate their lives educating other people's kids, and their livelihood is gone in an instant.

I want to help...that's why I do what I do. It drives me to pick up the phone and call someone and ask them to get together to see a presentation. I am so excited about the goal that Howard and I have set. We want to help 5 people earn $10,000 THIS YEAR! I'm reaching out to everyone I know and asking them who they know who needs some additional income. Want to help us reach our goal? We'd be grateful, and so will the people you introduce us to.
