Ed Lukco is a Business Coach who helps people create business plans and exit strategies. We had coffee recently after my 'big birthday' in August and Ed asked how I planned to get out of my Shaklee business. "My children will inherit my business," I told him. He chuckled. "So who will you hire to run this business for them?" "The girls grew up with Shaklee. They know exactly how to run it," I replied.
"Back up," he said, "Tell me how Shaklee works." So, I told him it's all about changing brands. We build a consumer network that falls in love with Shaklee's products and they tell others who tell others. If you play the PV game and help 3 others hit their goals in 15 months you will have earned $34,000 in quarterly bonuses, Shaklee will pay your car payments, send you on free vacations, and pay you around $55,000 in ongoing residual income year after year. This works because Shaklee is consumable and the average Shaklee member has been using these products for over 17 years. We've had 6 cars and been on over 20 trips. I told him that I built my network of consumers from 1981 to 1984 and have been living on the residual income ever since.
He leaned back and took a deep breath. Then he said, "In all my years of business coaching, I have never met anyone who has your kind of freedom. Mindy, do you take that freedom for granted?"
Now it was my turn to lean back and think. "Yes, Ed, I believe I do." (But, I never will again!!)

I have two goals for the next 5 years. One is to create enough beautiful watercolor paintings to have my own one-woman art exhibit. The other is to become a Shaklee Master Coordinator. Ed pointed out that there are a LOT of other people who can only DREAM of having the freedom I have (both financial and lifestyle) and that it's time for me to share this great business along with the super products--they both are life changing! Thanks, Ed.
Health, Wealth, and Happiness to you....Mindy
