Gratitude for Family

I’ve learned a lot about Gratitude in 2014 and I’m so blessed to be were I’m am. In 2014 a lot went right for me as I was able to make some positive changes in my life and I’ve managed to come out on top!

This past summer I left a high paying job and the friends I loved to go out on my own and build my business in and around my home town. I grew up in the Winston Salem, Greensboro area of North Carolina called the Piedmont. When I got there I realized that things were not the same as they were when I left two decades ago. Some of the people I worked with were not very kind and the part time job I had didn’t pay what it was supposed to. The hours were not there either. I worked my wellness business but I was alone and had limited team support. They were all here in the Triangle and we were a couple hundred miles apart. I also had a crazy neighbor who lived below me who would complain saying I was too loud. She wrote hateful notes to me,leaving them on my door. Not a very friendly welcome. 

My loneliness increased and my determination was waning. I had my dogs love and support but they could sence my despair at times. I would have liked to have spent more time with some of my siblings nearby, but they were not too happy about the way I was living my life. Some of my old friends moved away and the economy wasn’t what it used to be after RJ Reynolds collapse in Winston Salem. 

My money started to run out and the thought of being homeless scared me, so I reached out to my brother Z. He knew the situation I was in and knew about my psycho neighbor and he told me to come live with him until I got on my feet. 

He and some of his friends helped me move back to the triangle. With my two dogs we moved in with my brother Z in September 2014. He has been there for me my entire life but for some reason I think I’m here for him too. He’s using our wellness products and with his scientific mind he’s learning about how they work. 

So I’m grateful to my brother Z for helping me get back on my feet. He’s enabled me to build my wellness business by cutting my expenses so I can invest in my business. I’ve lowered my bills so I’m not living above my means and I can save money to invest in my business. 

He’s also come to accept me as his little sister and he looks out for me. I’m paying is forward by giving him discounts on his products and helping out with expenses. I know the more successful I am in my business the more dedicated I am to making sure that my brother Z never wants for anything as he gets older. 

Magnets Work Every Time!

I’ve often been asked how do Magnets work? Well I’m not sure of the technologies behind it but they’ve made a huge difference in my life. Whenever I have a headache or physical pain I don’t have to take pills all the time to make the pain go away.

I don’t have to worry about stomach upset or stomach bleeding which some aspirins and Ibuprofen can cause. I also can’t get addicted to using magnets because our magnets don’t harm me. 

I also have more energy and strength with my magnetic insoles, back flex, necklaces and bracelets. As a part time cashier I’m on my feet for at least 6 hours straight. The magnets give me more energy and strength to keep me going. Even the customers and my coworkers comment on how much energy I have and I tell them why I do. I tell them I’m not sure how they work but I can tell if I’m not using them. 

But I wanted to share an article from a scientific perspective so that you can make up your own mind. I read this article in Science Daily and they break down the science behind magnets and it’s uses.

You’re The Boss!

One of the things I realized is that working towards financial freedom is not just a goal for me it’s a must! I want more residual income, not living paycheck to paycheck. There’s nothing else out there for me at my age when it comes to supporting myself, especially since I’m getting close to retirement and I’m not getting any younger.

I’m a single middle aged mom who doesn’t have the crème de la crème of job choices at my fingertips. Big Corporations wouldn’t have to pay a younger less experienced worker as much as an older more experienced one like me. Plus an older worker is closer to cashing in their retirement which most corporations don’t want to pay and in many cases don’t!

It’s also a fact that woman get paid less for doing the same work as men and that sucks! I could work at a minimum wage job as a department store associate or wait tables at a restaurant, but we all know where that leads. It leads nowhere! 

Although I agree that a job is a job, I want to work my own hours and spend more time with my family. I want to take vacations and do business sipping and Arnold Palmer on the beach somewhere instead of in a stuffy old board room. 

I do Nikken because I can rest assured that I can’t be fired because of who I am or what I look like. In Nikken, nobody can take away my retirement nor reduce or increase my hours or wages. As I move up the ladder of success I cant be demoted if I decide to take a break. You never have to start over again because you can’t move backwards. You don’t find that in most MLM’s. 

But I want you to visit my Nikken Page and listen to the introduction videos and see what you think. If you decide to be part of our team please contact us to set up a free consultation. sile765@gmail.com.

New Term for MLM!

I’m looking for another term for network marketing (MLM) because for years the term has come to mean something that it was never was intended. MLM has negative connotations attached to it as a result of a few bad apples. My wellness business is a Distributorship and Franchise in one.

1) Distributorship

We’re no different than other places or shops on the web where you can purchase a product(s) and it’s delivered to your home. My best example would be Amazon or Ebay. In both examples consumers purchase products and they’re distributed to them by mail or other means. If the customer is happy with their purchase then they’ll refer the seller to others and if not they will complain. That means that the sellers on these sites need to be familiar with the products they sell and offer great customer service if they want to keep their good name or rating.

2) Franchise

We’re a franchise because we give people an opportunity to duplicate our business model and encourage and support those who want to be successful.

Many franchises take years to pay off the loans due to start up costs, taxes, overhead, payroll, employees, employees insurance, materials, rent, liability insurance etc. For under $70 you could get started in our franchise and duplicate yourself by “teaching three to reach three!”

Don’t get me wrong. We all have desires, gifts and talents that we dreamed of achieving when we were children. We all had a vision of what we wanted to be when we grew up. I’ve always wanted become an actress and write screenplays. To some extent I’ve achieved that goal. But the one goal I was taught to dislike as a child was to be rich. I’ve learned that there’s nothing wrong with wanting having a lot of money or riches. It’s what you do with your money and riches that determine your altruistic value to the universe.

Starting one of our franchises doesn’t mean you’ve given up something to be successful or achieve your childhood dreams, it means you’ve found something that can help make them all come true.

Visit my website and watch the videos on my home page and see if our franchise is a good fit for you. If it is then let’s talk.
