It takes money to start up any business. I bought into herbaliine business system as a supervisor ($4000) and invested about $2500 in advertising. I charged it all because I did not have the funds available. My first month I paid off my supervisor order and made $303.00, but still had a debt of $2500 for advertising. I put more money into advetising and even added a little to it to start retailing the products. This was my second month in the business and I retailed over $5000, giving me a profit of $2500 just from one ad in a small town paper. People are reordering the products because they are effective, natural, and cheaper than if you were to go to a general nutrition store for the same supplements. I also recruited 11 people into the business my second month and they all went to supervisor immediately. With the exception of one person, who is not working her business but is full of excuses, everyone is almost out of debt by the end of their first month. My second month in the business I was the top seller for all of OBS and made a profit of $8000 and am waiting for a check from herbalife for another $850 plus my royalties. Again this month, I am on track to be the top seller and have already profitted over $5000 and the month is only half over. Advertising is key to any business and you must work your business. I spend approximately 6 hours a day working my business, 6 days a week. I don't work on Sundays because I don't believe in bothering people on days of worship and for family. I have found the products very easy to sell. I also take the products and have gone from taking 8 presdcriptions to two because of the products and these products, even at full price, cost me less than my prescriptions did and I have good insurance. Anyone can work this business if they are willing to invest the time and put effort into it. Any business requires daily effort and start up money. Herbalife also offers a credit card that you can transfer your initial cost balance onto and has 0% interest for the first year. I am now debt free after 9 weeks in the business. I initially invested about $13,000 and yes, I was skeptical, but I have a wonderful team of people willing to train me as I get into new areas of the business because I am working my business. I have some supervisors going more slowly, but I still work with them to get their products sold. Those who listen and do the same things I did are becoming debt free and are making money. I also have supervisors who are full of excuses why they can't work their business and they are not making money. I am always up front with my supervisors (before they buy in) what it will cost them, how to get out of debt quickly, and I am there to help them get started until they learn the business and are confident to go on their own. In my final statement, I want to say that this business has created financial freedom for my family, allows me to stay home and work, but it is work on my own schedule. Those who fail have made excuses not to work their business. Any business requires hard work to start and money for start-up costs. Online business systems and herbalife make starting your own business affordable for the average person. Anyone can do this business if they have the drive. We push for buying into the advertising wheel because these are people who have already expressed an interest in joining the business. I buy 4 wheel slots a month and get an average of 11-15 new superviosors or distributors every month. I am half way through June and already have 6 new supervisors and 3 distributors. Those who do what I do are making money. Those who don't work their business I tell to cut their losses, return their products to herbalife for a refund and to advertise with their coach that they have business materials for sale at a slightly reduced rate. I typically buy all of these materials because I never have enough. This is a wonderful business and not a scam. It is also not a pyramid, it is multilevel and everyone has the same opportunity to make presidents team and make more money than their coaches. You don't stay at the bottom and the people at the top make all the money. You can be right up there with them. I have made world team, in 2 weeks, and have made my first cut of GET team in 9 weeks. Don't tell me this business is a scam. Instead, take responsibility for not working your business and listening to your coach and taking advantage of the personal coaching available to everyone. Herbalife is here to stay and has wonderful, affordable products. Schaible Michigan
