Melaleuca - The Perfect

 

Melaleuca's business model of being a Consumer Direct Marketing company makes it a great choice for Moms who are trying to stay home with their children and still earn an income.
Because of the economy it has become more important than ever for their to be a second income stream in most homes. That being said, that does not mean that Moms like the idea of leaving their children, even part time. Although there are many business opportunities out there that offer a great way to make money, I believe that Melaleuca is uniquely positioned to appeal to Moms.
Here are a few good things to consider, if you are looking at Melaleuca as a viable option for a second income stream for your family.
1. The products often easily appeal to other women. Women want products for their families that are safe, effective and save them money. Melaleuca's Eccosense line of cleaning products are easy for women to talk about and give them an opportunity to help other women save money.
2. Most mothers are interested in wellness and the wellness products that Melaleuca offers are cost effective, clinically tested and effective. Women love to talk about health and wellness and these products are easy to share.
3. Building a Melaleuca business is also a great way for career-minded women who take a break from the workplace to keep their skills up and maintain an active resume while they are caring for children. Additionally, these women bring an expertise to the business that can contribute to amazingly quick success.
4. Melaleuca does not require anyone to hold parties, stock merchandise, deliver products or any other time consuming activities. In fact most women build their business with only a computer and a phone.
5. Melaleuca does not require a high start up cost. Where many "at home" type businesses cost in excess of $500 with ongoing monthly costs for web sites, Melaleuca provides free web sites and team support. Moms don't have to take money out of the family budget to get going.
6. Melaleuca is an empowering business. Most Moms love the idea of helping other stay-at-home Moms develop a business.
7. Because of the reliablility of Melaleuca's residual income, it provides an income even if something takes Mom's attention away from the business. I know women who have had to leave their business for months at a time to care for a sick child and still had their income stay the same. Not many businesses provide that kind of freedom.
Melaleuca is a great business for anyone, but Moms seem to thrive with it. The simplicity of the referral concept, the effectiveness of the products and the low cost of entry are all attractive to Moms. The simplicity of the business make it easy for a Mom to fit it into her busy schedule and optimize the time she has to build a business and not feel guilty if she can't be there 100% of the time.
If you are a Mom looking for a way to break free and have your own business feel free to email me or visit my web site.


Thank You

About Michelle Smith


When I was introduced to this company, I had recently retired from my successful career in corporate America to stay home and raise our family. I had searched for months on the internet hoping to find a legitimate opportunity that would allow me to achieve my goals. I was so fortunate to have been introduced to this team and company and immediately knew the possibilities. Just one year into our business, I managed to replace my prior income, as well as my husband's My husband and I are now able to work this business from home together around our four beautiful children, but truly the best gift is that we never miss a moment. We work with a company that has a mission to help others and we are so proud of that. We work everyday knowing that we are able to help so many people change their lives!!!

Michelle Smith

When Michelle started with our company, I was extremely skeptical. I had heard of so many companies that never really made anyone any real money. Her first check was nothing much at all, and I continued to think it was like one of the other MLM companies out there today. After a few more months, I began to realize the true potential, because I fell in love with all of what this company offered. After over six years of being with this company, they have never let our family down once, and it continues to amaze me. I am very grateful that my wife saw this company’s vision and did not allow my skepticism to get in the way. We enjoy an amazing life now, thanks to this team, one most people just dream about. The exciting part is that everyone can achieve their dreams with this team and company. It just depends on you.

This is worth reading! WOW!

Anyone can persevere!!! What is your purpose? Write it down, tape a picture to your work area, have a recurring email sent to you to read every day, find a way to keep that purpose in front of you at all timesJ This is SOOO INSPIRING!!!



Persisting Through Adversity
When JK Rowling began to write her first novel, she was a single-mother pent up in a tiny flat in Edinburgh, Scotland. Struggling to make ends meet, she scraped by on a meager public welfare check provided by the state. In the solitude of her desperate situation, Rowling even contemplated suicide.
Rowling’s saving grace and source of inspiration was her infant daughter.  Determined to support her child, she resolved to put her talents to work. While her baby napped, Rowling would pull out a pen and paper to compose ideas for a book.  Laboring under a lingering cloud of poverty, she would try to clear her mind in order to sketch out characters and plotlines.  In spare moments here and there, week after week, Rowling toiled away on her story.
Demonstrating a remarkable will to persevere, JK Rowling eventually secured a grant from a local arts council and published her first novel. Before long, the Harry Potter series became a worldwide sensation, and Rowling an international celebrity.
What can JK Rowling teach us about perseverance?
1) Perseverance springs from having purpose.
Even the most ambitious leader’s willpower eventually fails her in the absence of passion. Passion stems from having a clear sense of purpose. Furthermore, the most powerful passion comes from a desire to provide for, or serve, others.
2) Perseverance necessitates discarding the belief that life is easy.
When it comes to chasing our dreams and exercising our potential, we are quick to point to the obstacles in our path. We cite adverse circumstances as excuses for playing small in life, or we blame a lack of time, resources, and energy.  To step into a life of influence, there comes a time when we must drown out the excuses and get to work. Our dreams aren’t magically delivered to our doorstep; they must be tracked down by persevering through life’s trials and tempests.
3) Perseverance means not stopping because you’re tired, but because the task is done.
For an author, inspiration may come in a moment, but carrying a manuscript to completion takes thousands of hours of work. In struggling to convert the creativity in their minds into imaginative prose, many writers grow weary and give up. Rowling faced the additional fatigue of raising a child as a single parent. Yet she refused to let the tiresome process of fleshing out her ideas, and the weight of caretaking her daughter, deter her from finishing her books.
Questions for Leaders
Look back to a time in life when you had to persevere. What were the circumstances? How did you overcome them? What did you gain by persevering?

Are your kids safe from the "Bathroom-Toxin-Demons"?? Read your Labels

I'm sure by now we are all aware of the current lawsuit that Johnson and Johnson and Wal-Mart are facing due to using toxic chemicals in their childrens shampoos and babywashes! For those of you that are not please read this article carefully and then check your bathroom cupboards!




“If you purchased Johnson & Johnson’s Baby Shampoo or Wal-Mart brand Equate Tearless Baby Wash, you may want to stop using it. A class action lawsuit has been approved this month that claims these products may contain a toxin linked to cancer.



The class action lawsuit, filed earlier this year, accuses Johnson & Johnson and Wal-Mart Stores of selling shampoo and baby wash that allegedly contains methylene chloride, an ingredient banned by the FDA in cosmetics because it’s linked to cancer. The law firm that filed the lawsuit is also investigating Target’s Night-time Bath and Body Wash, which is not currently named in the suit.

A third Johnson & Johnson plant is now also under investigation for alleged quality concerns. The new Johnson & Johnson plant is one that manufactures Pepcid and Mylanta among other products. You can read the details on that investigation at Legafi.” from Top Class Actions ~ Legal Lawsuits

This information is outragous and is the reason our team with Work at Home United and Live Total Wellness works so hard to educate those around us! I am adding a list of known children's hygene products that are known to have toxic chemicals in them.
A new study from the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics found that many baby bath products contain formaldehyde and 1,4-dioxane, which are both linked to cancer and skin allergies. The campaign notes that products with formaldehyde levels over 500 parts per million require warning labels in Europe, although not in the USA.
While all of the following products were tested for 1,4-dioxane, only 28 were tested for formaldehyde.
Product Name and Company 1,4-dioxane (in parts per million) Formaldehyde (in parts per million)

Now that you've read and Hopefully gotten to print off this list... What toxin-demons are hiding in your bathroom? I'd like to share a little story with you, I changed the names but I'd like to share it with you because of the impact it made to me and every time I walk down the childrens isle at the grocery store it's made me realized how blessed I've been.

“Why should a three-year-old boy have died a lingering and horrible death after swallowing three ounces of hairconditioner? Two weeks after drinking the liquid, which contains ammonia, the little boy died. And why should a seven-month-old little baby-girl have died? She crawled through a puddle of spilled laundry bleach which gave her third-degree burns on 50% of her tiny body, and burned her lungs from the fumes as well. It took her four agonizing days to die”
