Shaklee Presentation in Our Area


Our Toxic World



In the next 8 seconds, 3.9 million chemicals will be used or made in the U.S. And did you know that over 80,000 chemicals are used in the U.S., but that the EPA has required toxicity testing on fewer than 500? The brief video lists these and other staggering statistics that we know about some of the chemicals that exist in our environment, and even in our bodies, and the health risks that have been associated with them.

A little scary, but it doesn't have to be, because there are things we can do. What should you do? Join us in a movement to make people and the planet healthier!

The "Quote" of The Month


A World of Opportunities: My Business Tab

Kristelle Sim: Senior Executive Coordinator, WA
The new My Business Tab of MyShaklee.com (formerly iTrack) has a ton of new features for managing your business. Just ask Kristelle Sim who helped us by providing a lot of initial input for the new site. Kristelle gave us her take on what makes the new My Business so great!

It's holiday time, and thanks to the Shaklee Web Team, we have some new toys to play with! The new My Business section helps me focus on the business basics that help me grow and it's more fun to use! Here are my top 3 favorite tools:
  1. What Would You Like To Do Box. On the top right of the Business Summary page, all in one place, the simple but vital tasks of a growing business are front and center under the What Would You Like to Do section. From there you can add new contacts, send an email, sponsor someone, manage lists, campaigns, and your Shaklee Personal Web Site (PWS) and easily look up just one person. Even if being online isn't your thing, use the links in this box - you'll be way ahead of the game, and feel like an expert in no time!
  2. Track Incentives Section. If you've ever wondered where you were in the journey toward the Dream Trips, or Power Bonuses, or Team Up, at the bottom of the Business Summary page is a live Tracker that gives you a visual representation of how far you've come and how far you have to go...all in one glance. Seeing that little bar filling in towards the trip is surprisingly motivating. It makes me want to DO something to see that bar move even more!
  3. Business Builder Watch List. The Business Builder Watch List is my favorite tool of all. Are my newest members ordering more? Are my builders meeting the volume goals they set? How many new people have they sponsored this month...last month...the month before that? Finally I know for sure! Choose up to 5 people, and the watch list will create a mini-display which constantly monitors their volume and sponsoring activity, giving you an instant snapshot of how they're doing. You set it up on the Reports page, and then it shows up for you on the Business Summary page, right where you need it. This one tool helps me keep the most important people in my personal group "top of mind" every day. I use it for Builders and New Members, but you can choose anyone you want to monitor and support.

Cinch Success Story: Jen the Pilates Instructor


It’s Like Everything It’s Being Sucked In

Jen the Pilates Instructor, a total of 12 pounds and 11 inches healthier. Yes, even a Pilates trainer can struggle with her body. After having kids, Jen began to worry that she wouldn't be able to reclaim the body she once had. Fortunately, she discovered Cinch?, and rediscovered her body shape.

"As a fitness trainer, I've always been fit and athletic. I teach about 12 fitness & Pilates classes/sessions M-F. I feel like I eat fairly well with an occasional splurge like anyone else. Lack of exercise has never been an issue for me. I've always been fairly petite but have broad shoulders and a very straight waist. "

Like many folks, Jen's struggle began after she had kids. "Then I had three kids. And despite my best efforts, my body became stocky. With my youngest being five now, I thought I would never reclaim the body/person I knew I could be again."
When she decided to try Cinch, Jen hoped to shed a few pounds, but she found that her body changed dramatically.
"After a trip to San Francisco, I started on Cinch for two reasons: in hopes of losing a few pounds and to experience the products for myself so that I would have a story to tell. I had no idea how dramatically my body shape would change. I've lost over 12 pounds, and about 11 inches -and I'm still going!* I've gone from a size 7 to a size 4. Woo Hoo!! All this in just over 8 weeks! Amazing.

But you know, the numbers aren't what has impressed me the most -- what has blown me away, is the way my body makeup & shape has changed. I've gone from stocky to tight, lean and defined. My muscles are showing definition, not in a big bulky way, but in a long, lean way. It's like everything is being sucked in! I'm stunned."

A big part of Jen's success was having a plan that allowed her to incorporate some simple steps into her busy life. "This is a plan I feel like I can live with for the rest of my life... Everybody has noticed the change in my body and wants to know what I'm doing. I just can't stop telling people about Cinch.

Oh yeah, another interesting thing is the little bit of cellulite that I had on my thighs is gone! Crazy!!"
