I love Herbalife. I love the products and I love the results they give. I love meeting people and helping
them with their health. I can hardly believe that I now have my own successful work-from-home business
where I can choose the hours I want to work and the people I want to work with. I especially love my new
lifestyle and the exciting places I have had the good fortune to visit as a result of Herbalife.
I was a yo-yo dieter constantly struggling to lose weight. One day a friend who was a Herbalife Supervisor suggested
that I try Herbalife and I had amazing results on the products as did my family and friends. Without realizing it I was in
business. Initially I felt quite intimidated as I had never done anything like this before.
I had very little education, had virtually no background in selling, but I soon felt knowledgeable enough about all the
products to be able to recommend them with conviction. My friend and sponsor suggested that I do the Herbalife
business seriously.
I objected that I knew nothing about marketing. She said "Do not worry. Herbalife will help you - one step at a time."
My own excellent results on the products and the successes of my family and friends gave me confidence. Today I
know that one will never know what you are capable of until you try it.
I've always been very shy and in the beginning I found it difficult to talk to strangers. I just attended every Success
Training Seminar that Herbalife offered and soon I actually began to enjoy talking to everybody I knew about the
products. Before I k new it I gained all the knowledge, skills and confidence to give people the information they need
about the products.
It was an unbelievable growth experience and as time passed I became more and more comfortable with telling
people about the products. People could sense that I spoke from a firm personal belief in the products that I
recommended. My retail business literally exploded.
When I began to taste success, my two daughters joined me in the business and we have never missed a training
since. My sponsor taught me to qualify for everything in Herbalife. This has often taken me to overseas events where I
really saw the Big Picture. In 1999 I took a group of 11 people with me to Paris. Back home I took 72 people with me
to Sun City.
I was in the World Team for five years almost without consciously building a team. I just k ept on recommending the
products and sharing the opportunity with people who needed it.
The growth of my business was so gradual that I hardly realized it was happening. I simply kept on believing in the
business and taking more and more people to every possible event and training locally and overseas. Many of them
initially only went along for the interesting holidays, but soon found themselves infected with the excitement of the
many Herbalife successes they witnessed. In 2003 I took a large group to Paris and a larger group to Barcelona in
2004. There I really set myself the goal and was promised that Herbalife would take me to President's Team. The
value of setting goals proved itself to me and my team.
The power of duplication really kicked in, my team members became incredibly c ommitted and my business gathered
momentum. It was the most amazing ride. In nine cons ecutive months I reached GET Team and went to Millionaire
Team and President's Team without a break . I am deeply grateful for the dedication and commitment of my team
without whose help this was impossible. I thank God for giving Mark Hughes the vision to change people's lives.
The most wonderful thing is that in helping me achieve this great goal, many of my team members have grown their
own businesses and changed their own lives almost beyond belief. I'm truly in Herbalife for LIFE!
