The Shaklee Corporation has partnered with FarmVille to make available Shaklee Healthy Homes for all farm owners.

New on Farmville

The Shaklee Healthy Home is a smart addition to every FarmVille farm.  The Shaklee brand is excited to contribute to your health and wellness – for your family, your home, your farm, and your environment.

About Shaklee:

Shaklee represents the brand the very first Earth Day founders chose to be the official Earth Day green cleaner (Basic H).  And Shaklee has made a legacy of leadership in environmental contributions, including earning the designation as the very first Climate Neutral company in the United States.

Just like you do on the farm, the Shaklee family recognizes the importance of hard work, quality products and services, and the value of a dollar.  In all areas, from product research and manufacturing to customer service, we work hard at making a difference in your world.

The Healthy Home Kit

So what’s the buzz about a Healthy Home Kit being offered as part of FarmVille making available a Shaklee Healthy Home for your farm?

It’s something Shaklee wanted to do for you in honor of connecting with FarmVille.  And it’s a very sweet deal.

To introduce you to some high quality, high performance, economical (you WILL save lots of money), safe and green cleaning products – this package that is valued at about $90 retail is available to you for a very limited time for only $30.00*.

Important to note:  To you, the picture below may look like just a few bottles of cleaners.  So what?  How’s it different from anything you currently use?  That’s where we come in.  We will show you the difference.  We will talk to you about the difference if you like.

Farmville Family Benefits

It’s about trusting a brand to bring you safe products for you and your family – and giving you another way to make a contribution to a cleaner, safer planet.

It’s about giving you some real cleaning power – for your easy jobs to your most challenging!

It’s about helping you SAVE MONEY!

And it’s about helping your family be healthier.

Just one of these products, that comes in concentrate form that you mix a tiny bit with your own water, will save you HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS – and you will be so happy with all the things it cleans AND how well it cleans (look below for a link to 30 cleaning uses – and there are many more).

What’s included:

1. Basic H2 All-Purpose Cleaner (16 oz) – the super concentrated cleaner that lasts a long, long time and saves you A LOT of money!

2. Two Spray Bottles - to mix Basic H (mix very small amounts with water – saves waste & manufacturing energy)

3. Get Clean Super Microfiber Cleaning Cloths – awesome to use

4. Get Clean Dish Wash Liquid Concentrate – (very gentle on your hands as it cleans and concentrated so you only use a little)

5. Get Clean Fresh Laundry Concentrate (32 oz) – (use just a little and it cleans great without fillers, plus a great spot remover)

6. Shaklee Energy™ Chews (tastes like candy and part of the natural nutrition line that helps you get that extra energy you need to Spring Clean!!)

*Shaklee has never had an opportunity for new customers like this, and it is for a very limited time.  Part of the savings mentioned above is that you become a full member of the Shaklee member price club at no extra cost.

To explain more about Shaklee:  we offer health and wellness products, including (in my opinion) the very best green cleaning products on the market.  We sell at retail, but we also have a membership (similar to Sam’s Club or Costco) that helps you save 15% when you buy products + other savings during special sales offered to members.

The normal charge for membership is a one-time (not annual) fee of $19.95.  In honor of connecting with the Farmville Family, Shaklee is waiving that fee when you place a $30.00 order.  So, when you purchase the Healthy Home Kit for $30, that qualifies you for free membership and gives you that $90 value for only $30.00.

Here’s a video to tell you more about Shaklee green cleaners and how they can make a difference on your farm!  You are encouraged to call or email us with any questions or to discuss (contact info is on top right of this page).

Something New    Something Exciting    Please Share!!

If you work with or volunteer at a non-profit organization, or support a cause that needs ongoing funds, we want to help!  Shaklee has a new Cause Fundraising program that is being offered to registered non-profits.  And 76% of consumers say that they would re-direct their spending to a brand that will contribute to their cause.

More detailed information is on the website shown below.  In addition, we have a brochure and other literature available. 

Cause Fundraising with Shaklee is similar to programs that Target, Macy’s and other companies offer when they contribute a portion of sales to a charitable organization.  The difference is that not only is the program ongoing, earning funds for the organization month after month – there is opportunity to earn significantly more than the traditional 5 to 10 percent that other brands offer.  

There is no cost for the non-profit organization to participate.  Each non-profit is given an order website where supporters of the group can order and pay for products that are shipped directly to their homes.  No payments or products are handled by the non-profits and the unique order website is provided at no cost.

Shaklee manufactures at least a few products that all people use for themselves, their family or their home – including cleaning your home.  Replacing your window and multi-purpose cleaner with one Shaklee product can not only clean your home as well or better than your present cleaner, it can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year – and rid your home of toxins, chemicals and fumes that aren’t healthy to have there. 

Changing brands, and trying the Shaklee brand, means that your cause can earn funds when you buy products - and continue to earn when you re-order.

Shaklee is a leading manufacturer of green products for the home, including green cleaning and water purification.  Shaklee is the #1 Natural Nutrition company in the United States, offering a complete line of natural nutrition products.  Safe and natural skin care and personal care products are part also part of this brand that enjoys the highest customer retention rate in the industry.  All products are 100% satisfaction, money-back guaranteed. 

As the Cause Fundraising sponsor, I help the non-profit organization by educating supporters on the fundraising opportunity and the products, and provide the support needed for a successful program.  Shaklee provides customer service in regard to orders, payments, and product satisfactio

If you know a group that can benefit, please pass this word along.  I would be happy to discuss our Cause Fundraising program with you or a non-profit group.

Independent Contractor

When you start a small home business by partnering with an established brand as an Independent Contractor, you are entitled to the same tax deductions that franchise owners have and that help you keep more of your own money by reducing the tax you pay. You don't have the large upfront cost of purchasing a franchise, renting business space, hiring employees and the other costs necessary to launch that kind of business.

The cost to start a business as an Independent Contractor is minimal and yet there is still the opportunity to earn unlimited income. The new income from your small business creates another source of revenue for you and helps you begin to build wealth.

The opportunity to pay debt, save extra money, be able to afford the 'extras' you desire, or live the life of your dreams now becomes a reality - as well as the American Dream of owning something of your own that you control.

Important facts to consider when you start a business as an Independent Contractor:

• You will not have a large (franchise) investment
• You will not have the expense of a physical business
• You will not have employees or employee expenses
• You will not have corporate business taxes
• You will have the benefit of a corporation behind you
• You will have the benefit of the brand's longevity and success
• You will have the benefit of prepared marketing materials
• You will have high quality products to represent
• You will have a lucrative compensation plan
• You will have the opportunity for immediate earnings

Remember, you are entitled to all of the small business tax deductions the same if you would own a physical business (and without the headaches and long hours).  You also have the opportunity to earn income right away – and no debt from a large investment to have to repay.

Small Business Ownership Rocks!

You work your day job for your boss (or the corporation) – wouldn’t it be great to build something for yourself?

Work at your business a few hours a day or a few hours a week – whatever you have.  Just do it consistently.

Use the internet.  Talk to people offline – tell them how they can keep their hard-earned tax money – people want to know this.   And it grows your business!

Work your business however you choose – YOU ARE THE BOSS and there are tons of ways to market.

Why It’s Important to Choose the Right Partner

Of course you can buy a franchise or start a brick and mortar business to get your tax deductions.

BIG HEADACHE and VERY EXPENSIVE to do both of those.

The alternative is to become an Independent Distributor and partner with an established business.

You are still starting a small business.  You are still the boss.  You still get the tax deductions.

And you still have the opportunity to earn as much as you would owning a national franchise – only you can do it faster!

There are lots of companies that will offer you an independent contractor position.  However, many are here today and gone tomorrow.

The reason you need to partner with a reputable brand is because:

1-  You will be representing the product or service and it should be the best

2-  You want to make sure they have longevity and will be around when you leave your business to your children (yes, create a legacy)

3-  You want the brand to have a track record of leadership, integrity, growth and the best compensation plan.

4-  You want a company that is going to help you succeed – you can get as much help as you would like – or as little.  You are the Boss!

Are you making a good income?

And paying a lot of your money in income taxes?

Would you like to learn about how you can keep more of your money and at the same time build something of your own?

If you are part of corporate America, maybe you would welcome putting some efforts into building or growing ‘your own thing’! It is part of the American Dream to own your own business – something small to help with taxes or buy some extras OR something larger if that is your goal.  Even leave the business to your family, as a legacy, years down the road.

Who knows, you could be like Dan, or Rick, George or many others  who started a small home business part-time and later left corporate America when they started making significantly more by being their own boss than they did through their J-O-B.

To buy a franchise or start a brick and mortar business you will earn tax deductions but you will also need a huge investment and have a lot of headaches such as employees, a ton of your time required, and even customer service issues.

A much better alternative is to start a small home business where you partner with an established brand by becoming an independent distributor – that still gives you small business tax deductions, still offers lucrative money to be made if that is your goal, and has a much lower price point to get started.

Orders are taken and shipped for you and there is a whole customer service system in place.  You focus on marketing an already established brand with the highest customer retention rate in the industry – and you only work your business as much as you choose.

Once you have made the decision to start a home business opportunity, the main thing that is required to enjoy home business tax deductions is that you have the intent to earn income.  Your  whole initial investment is tax deductible your first year, as well as many other expenses that you already pay each month.

Starting to sound good? We have made this very easy for you.  After you purchase your small home business program for a nominal charge, the next thing you do is to start saving receipts that you can deduct from your income.  NOW, things that you were already paying for become tax deductible.

Are you using your computer for your home business?

Your cell phone?

Think about this: you are excited about keeping more of your money instead of paying high taxes.  You are excited about that extra money and what it can do for you.

Hopefully you want to pass the word about this tax saving/income producing opportunity that you found to keep more of your own money and even increase your annual income.  Others will be interested in the same.

So do you talk about your home business – and all of these benefits – when you travel, eat out or go to the gym, etc.?  These are now tax-deductible expenses.

Don’t worry.. you don’t have to keep this to yourself!  There’s enough opportunity to go around – you will want to pay this forward and tell others that can benefit.

Every time you talk about the products your represent or the income/tax savings opportunity, it is a small business tax deduction. Wherever you are (think about your present entertainment expenses and the fact that there are people there that you can ‘talk casually about business with – just like lots of business deals are discussed and closed on the golf course and other entertainment events), and whatever you are spending, it is now a small business tax break.  It is also how you earn more income because when you find others that are interested your business grows.

Books you read about your business, any training you elect to take,  your vehicle, your cable bill, your home and a lot of other expenses may now qualify as deductions.

You are afforded all of these because you own a small home business. Record keeping is not hard and does not take much of your time.  The benefits are far greater than the work involved and this is a FUN business.

You are the boss. You choose how to run your business.  You choose how much you work or how much extra money you want to make.  You choose how much fun to have.  You choose if you would like to earn a new car (yes! we have a car program).  You choose if you want to travel (we are going to San Francisco, Atlantis Resort Bahamas and Bora Bora next year!).  You choose how many dollars you save on your tax bill.
