Don’t Call Them Resolutions. Call them goals!

So many New Year’s resolutions are quickly forgotten by the end of January. This year, resolve that won’t happen to you.

                                                            

You were so intent to start 2014 becoming a better person. No more junk food. Early to bed, early to rise. That gym bag would come out of the back of your closet. And the one that seems to be on many of those New Year’s Resolution lists – establishing a home-based business.

There are many excuses people have in not getting around to that one. We’ve heard them all. But this year should be different. The economy is improving. People are beginning to have greater confidence. Companies are actually beginning to hire again. 

If you are gainfully employed, more power to you. That’s not to say those steady raises you enjoyed in the past will start up again. No telling when that benefits program will be re-established -- all the more reason to look into additional opportunities in the New Year. About five years ago, when the economy was deep in a recession, my business partner and I heard those words. “The company is down-sizing.” We had no choice but to look for other ways to earn an income.

I grew up on the West coast, so I had no knowledge of a company by the name of Watkins. Alan – my partner – grew up with an assortment of Watkins products in his home, from gourmet foods and spices, to body care and home care. At that time, the majority of Watkins sales were made through door-to-door salesman.  But in 2009, there was a growing movement toward online sales. So Alan did an Internet search for Watkins, and quickly learned that the company still offered a business opportunity for individuals like us interested in finding a national organization intent on expanding its sales force.

Alan was assigned a manager based in Florida, who has established her own home-based business several years earlier. Tracey was quick to tell us that Watkins was ranked as one of the nation’s top-ranked home-based business opportunities by Entrepreneur Magazine.  Tracey had a number of consultants under her, whom she had helped through the process of becoming associated with Watkins.

Fast-forward five years; today, we are managers ourselves with a team of some 50 Watkins consultants under us. Our team continues to compile more than $2,000 every month, solidifying our managerial status with the company. It took time to build our team. But it all started with a minimal investment of only $39.95.

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. If we had quit in the first six months because sales weren't rolling in, we never would have realized the success that we have achieved in Watkins. Who knew that only $39.95 would begin such a satisfying business based on providing customers with the finest in all-natural products!

Now it’s your turn. Just we made contact with Tracey, we hope that you will give us a call at 888-881-7372 to get the ball rolling. That’s all it takes to make that first step to establishing your own home-based business. What satisfaction you will realize when you can finally check off that goal for 2014. Make it a great year starting today.
