Review:
Shaklee, isn’t that your Mom’s business opportunity?
Shaklee was started in 1956 by Dr Forest C. Shaklee. Shaklee was one of the first nutritional companies and one of the pioneers of the multi level marketing industry. Shaklee spent years creating public awareness on the validity of the multi level marketing distribution channel. Today there are over 3000 network marketing companies in the US alone. The network marketing industry today is almost a 100 Billion dollar industry worldwide. The industry owes this to the pioneers who legitimized this industry which, Shaklee was a part of.
The Products
Home Care – Get Clean offers you nontoxic and natural cleaning choices that are SAFE, POWERFUL, GREEN and SMART. Because when it comes to keeping your house clean and the earth safe, you shouldn’t have to choose. When you use Get Clean, you’re never simply cleaning. While you make your home cleaner, you can make your family healthier. You also make the planet healthier for other families as well.
Weight Management – Shaklee offers a line called Cinch. Cinch is a full spectrum weight management system that will help you build muscle, lose fat and lose inches. Cinch was designed by doctors who understand that weight management programs must not only work but allow for you to eat good food.
Skin Care – Shaklee has created a line of skin care products that are based on the philosophy that your skin also needs vitamins.
Nutrition – Shaklee has a wide range of health and nutrition products that are designed to help promote health and vitality for all ages.
Business Opportunity
The business opportunity within Shaklee is similar to that of any MLM today. To create success within the MLM industry you will need to recruit friends and family, attend and promote hotel meetings, attend and promote product parties, attend and promote home presentations and attend company sponsored seminars. After analyzing the compensation structure the conclusion is the average person will not achieve any substantial success within Shaklee. While the products are good and can effect your life in a positive way, the business model is out dated and not set up for the average person. The amount of people needed to create a solid six figure income would enter the thousands.
However there is hope if you love the product then we can assist you with an online marketing strategy that will take you Shaklee Biz to the next level. Go to: http://whoismichalbarrett.net and join our FREE Video Boot Camp to develop your online marketing Skill Set…

“Right now, in your town and neighborhood, policies are being implemented that will ultimately eliminate your freedoms and destroy your way of life. You need to know what’s going on to stop this process. Many town officials are selling us out to global regional development with help from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI): Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI is used as one of the mechanisms to undo the political recognition of unalienable rights.”
