About Us

ShakleeID

Thank you for visiting our site!

Our reasons for getting involved with a home based business were not earth shaking.  In 1979 Linda had quit her job as Chief Medical Technologist in charge of 3 departments; Nuclear Medicine, Diagnostic Ultra-Sound, and Radio Immuno Assay due to a back injury and dissatisfaction with working 3 jobs and being paid for one.  Also the medical profession didn’t turn out to be a place where she could really help people.  The same people kept coming back with the same problems.  After having taken several cooking courses and participating in a number of other activities Linda was looking for something to do.  Lowell was looking for a tax shelter.  As an airline pilot the pay was good and the time off was good but the taxes were killing us.  A home based business seemed like the only legitimate tax shelter that didn’t require a large investment of capital.  Linda’s interest was in the products.  They had to be good if there was going to be a business.

Little did we know what a wonderful opportunity we had discovered, how great the tax shelter is, and how fabulous the products are.  Actually Lowell’s opinion of network marketing was somewhat negative but at least he was willing to concede that maybe his opinions were not correct.  We also didn’t know that the airline Lowell was working for was going to go out of business.  In this day and age job security is a myth.  We now believe everyone should have a backup plan; a Plan-B.  Prior to the airline paycheck going to zero and the planned retirement dropping to a pittance, our business was a supporting cast member in the play called “our lives”.  In 1989 our supporting cast member was thrust into the lead roll.  That is probably the best thing that has ever happened to us (besides getting married) as life is far better than we had ever imagined it could be.

Over the years we have heard many stories about the great reasons people partner with our company.  We were just lucky to have found Shaklee on the first try.  Shaklee's commitment to scientific integrity in their products and philosophy of doing business by the Golden Rule as well as improvements in our health from using the products is what has kept us with the company.  We're proud to associate our good name and reputation with a company that is committed to making a positive difference in people's lives.

Everyone with a Shaklee business has a story to tell.  Some come hoping to improve their health and stay to improve their lives.  Some start a business to have more time with their families and end up with six-figure incomes.  Some are disenchanted professionals who discover new meaning in work.  Some want to earn travel benefits or a new car, and learn to dream even bigger dreams.  Whatever you dream about for yourself can become a reality with a Shaklee business.  Whether you want a part-time income, a full-time career, the means to finance your children's college education or to realize a special dream, Shaklee offers you a uniquely rewarding way to achieve your goals.

According to the American Heritage Dictionary, Successful means, "Having obtained something desired or intended." People everywhere struggle to reach the top, to be the best, live stress-filled lives working 60-70 hours a week to impress others who are benefiting from their hard work, only to retire with an income that is a fraction of their monthly salary!  I don't know about you, but to me this is NOT the definition of "successful", it is not "something desired or intended".  Yet, every day people set themselves up for this "success".  We did.  We don’t any more.

We knew we had to do something different, take a step out of our comfort zones, think outside of the box, and regain control of our futures.  Many of you may be in the same position at your place of employment, whether you are just starting out or have been in the same line of work for some five, ten or even twenty and thirty years.  Some of you may be facing retirement in the not too distant future and are asking yourself, "What am I going to do for the rest of my life?"  "How will we live on half of what we can’t live on now?"

At some point in a person’s life they should ask themselves:

  • Do I have to go to work today?
  • College bills are mounting up, I need to get a job, but carrying a full course load leaves me little or no extra time!
  • How much traffic will I have to fight to get to work?
  • Annual increase evaluations are coming out -- will it be the same flat percentage as last year?
  • I've worked hard all my life to retire on a fraction of what I've been making?
  • Credit card fees just keep piling up!  Price of gas is skyrocketing!
  • Do I need another job just to pay for day to day living expenses? Another job means more time away from the family!
  • Is there an alternative?

A possible solution is to own your own business, but that brings up other questions:

  • Can I afford to have my own business?
  • What kind of overhead is involved?
  • Will owning my own business give me more time with my family or away from them?
  • What happens when I want to take a vacation?
  • I want to be my own boss, own my own company, but is there a business out there that will allow me to do that?

You are here so obviously you are looking for a better lifestyle, financial freedom, ability to spend more time with your family, or fulfilling your own special dreams.  Whatever your reason, I believe we can help you find answers to your questions.
