After being voluntarily unemployed since May of 2010 (only 2 full months from this post) I was starting to feel a little guilty for not helping with the financial responsibilities in our household. My husband, the current breadwinner in our household, tells me constantly that I don’t have anything to feel guilty about, but it doesn’t stop me from feeling guilty for spending his money, which he assures me is our money. Instead of getting another job at a large corporation and working to make someone else rich, my husband wanted me to find a way to start our own business – so that we could start putting the profits into our own pockets. To make a very long story as short as possible - after a lot of research, a few lost dollars, and digging through and deciphering numerous scams, we came across an advertisement for a health and wellness business that turned out to be Herbalife.
My husband and I researched the company and its products and we found both good stuff and bad stuff out there. We talked to customers who use the products and found that they were all happy with the products that they used. For some, the products seemed to have turned their lives around, for the better. The bad stuff we heard was more about the business side of it – a lot of information saying it was a scam. However, after all of our digging and talking to people and finding and interviewing a few local Herbalife Independent Distributors, we decided this business opportunity was not a scam and that it was one of those opportunities that you get out of it what you put into it. So, we decided to dive in and give it a try. We figured it was like a chance at winning the lottery – you can’t win if you don’t play. Plus, my favorite quote fit in well here: “If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.” ~ Sri Krishna
We weren’t looking for a get rich quick scheme. We simply wanted different results from our careers. We wanted to be independent and in charge of our future – not slaving for someone else who indirectly controls your financial future by controlling your wages. We wanted to find a life of our own – one that we could truly enjoy. We were ready to try something new and hopefully get new results for our lives.
We knew that we were willing to work long and hard hours – we just wanted to do it for ourselves and not someone else. We knew that we were willing to learn new things and do what it takes to make those lessons sink in. And most of all we knew that we were willing to go above and beyond to find the path to the life we wanted to lead.
This is why we got started as Herbalife Independent Distributors and though we are new to the business, we are already building our business and working toward a brighter future. We started this new journey in our lives last week (June 21, 2010) and we have been immersed into the training system and mentoring to show us how to run and succeed in our new business. When you join the team, you aren’t thrown to the wolves and left to manage the business on your own – like other work from home opportunities. No, this is different. You are assigned a coach/mentor that will be there to hold your hand throughout the lifetime of your business. You have a network of people and a vast array of tools to help you be successful and grow your business. The training experience has been wonderful and both my husband and I are glad we signed up and invested in our future with this company. We believe it will be the door that will lead us down the path to our dreams.
This blog is about our journey with this business opportunity and about our journey with using the very products we are selling. This blog is meant to tell a story – our story and the stories of others – and is not meant to persuade anyone to join our team or buy from us – however – if someone is interested let us know and we will be happy to help you learn more. We just wanted a forum to show what is going on with our lives and our business – whether we succeed or fail. We wanted an opportunity to share our world with you and a chance to build new relationships that may last a lifetime.
Until next time,
Crystal
