Investing in You!
If you have a desire to grow your Shaklee business to new levels of new people, monthly volume, and income, there is one concept you must keep in your mind that you will be doing throughout your Shaklee career. It doesn’t matter if you are part-time, or planning on making it a full time effort. More »
Overcoming the Fear!
I received the following very thoughtful message yesterday. I have asked permission to use some excerpts from this message because I feel there are many, many of you out there in Shaklee land who will relate to some things that are being said. My comments are indented.

Hi Gary,
My story is an old one, that is “overcoming fears.”
It’s funny how easily you can “excuse your way out” of anything productive. For example, I make incredible fliers – blogs – newsletters…. but calls? Are you kidding? I don’t have time left over for that! I’ll do that tomorrow. More »
How to Avoid Distractions
The following is a response I received from a message sent out recently. Progress isn’t very difficult to experience IF a person sticks to what is in this message. Learning to stay focused is extremely important these days. There are many distractions in today’s busy electronic world and it’s easy to get caught up in busyness and then think you are actually working to build.

Hi Gary,
I really enjoy your insights. Learning that “simple” & “easy” are usually not synonomous was a HUGE eye-opening life lesson for me. These days when I think of keeping things simple (which, by the way, is frequently a big challenge for me), I substitute “essential” in my mind for “simple.” I actually have to talk myself out of getting off on a tangent. When I stick with the fundamentals, the basics, the core principles, I get things done. When I stray away, I end up with any number of distractions & diversions that slow me down and prevent progress.

Do You Have Belief?
I want to ask you a few questions about belief. Then, I want to give you a simple principle that is worth thinking about.
Do you believe that Shaklee is an opportunity for other people besides yourself?
Do you believe that this opportunity has potential to help a person increase their personal income?
Do you believe that the Shaklee products are without question the very best?
Do you believe that everyone can benefit from using these products?
Do you believe that if you invested more time every week you would grow consistently?
Here is a simple principle about belief:
Belief should be expressed/exposed by a person’s actions.
Are you expressing your belief on a regular basis?
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
Work Ethic and Consistency = Success
At times when I’m talking with various people who are in Shaklee, they will ask me some questions about building the business and developing a large business. That was what I decided early in the game when we got started… I wanted to have a large Shaklee business because of the potential lifestyle it would create for Faye and I. We haven’t been disappointed. [...] More »
Two Important Keys For Growth
There are two keys that will help you grow your business. These are very simple concepts.
1. Invest in yourself.
Simple right! listen friends, you have to be willing to invest your time, effort and money. To think a business can be built without these elements is foolish. First of all invest your money. I know gas prices are very high, but one way to beat the economy is to earn more.
Getting yourself to the financial point where you always have more than you need seems like a good idea to me.
Attending meetings, webinars etc. is certainly an investment. We are all isolated in a sense because we work out of our home. It is vital to stay connected in some way and the reason is simple….it will help you to stay in the loop as well as stay inspired and motivated to grow. Being isolated is a tough way to go.
2. You must put yourself in a growth environment.
If you’re a sales leader then it changes because now you are a leader and it’s your responsibility to create a growth environment for your team. A growth environment includes making sure your team has access to meetings, webinars, etc.
My opinion on this is simple, I am a guy who believes strongly in fundamentals. Everything has certain steps or fundamentals that are essential for growth or to make something better. Putting yourself in a growth environment, or creating one in my view is probably one of the most basic, vital fundamentals of this business.
I have yet to know someone who have built a successful Shaklee business by ignoring the basic fundamentals. It just isn’t going to happen.
Are you investing in yourself?
Will you be in Wash. D.C. in August?
Do you have a growth environment to connect to?
Are you doing it on a regular basis?
Enthusiastically,
Gary Burke
A Simple Idea Can Be Powerful
By Gary Burke
Everything starts with an idea. When I first heard of Shaklee and heard what was offered… it was very simply an idea. I decided to learn more because the idea seemed to good to be true. I had no business background. I have never viewed myself as a sales person. [...] More »
The “Big Picture”
I want to make some comments about personal development. After yesterday’s message I received a response from Life Time Master Coordinator Jack Cranney who understands this business as well as anyone in the country in any company. As you may recall, yesterday’s message was about Julie and the personal development she has accomplished since being in Shaklee. {…} More »
Trying vs Training
THE LIFE YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED is the title of a book I’ve just finished reading.
I took the liberty of lifting a couple excerpts from this book review and make some comments — because it certainly applies to what everyone wants to accomplish in Shaklee. [...] More »
Want to Make More Progress? Really!
I WAS READING SOMETHING about making progress on a consistent basis and the Henry Ford quote came to mind that was sent to me last week. Building a Shaklee business isn’t as difficult as many make it. At least that is my opinion. [...] More »
