Business Franchise- The Big Cover-Up

Thursday, August 27, 2009

Business Franchise: The BIG Cover-up

Shaklee has added a new earnings program to our already lucrative compensation plan!

It's called Fast Track and it can produce up to $34,000 in your bank account over the next 15 months. So why do I call it a 'cover-up'? .....Because I've done the figures and what it can really produce is $100,000.00 over your next 15 months. That's right, (ask me I'll get you the company information) and you can figure it up for yourself.

Yes, I know... you've heard it all before, probably even joined with a few companies that promised huge incomes right away without any work on your part or at least just a minimal part....of course there is always a membership and a charge for these services. That's to be expected isn't it? If you don't want to work, but just collect money, you'll pay a price. Only problem is, I get calls from people who have tried this only to find out it really isn't that simple, and by the time they've learned this, they've lost quite a bit of money.

Their question to me about Shaklee usually goes like this - "I'm tired of the hype, just show me what if anything I can expect from Shaklee if I join the business!" or "Be upfront with me, what do I stand to lose?" or "Can you prove to me your business works before I venture into it, because if I lose money again my wife/husband won't be happy!" or I just don't have hours to commit to a business right now, is there some way I can work this into my schedule and actually start earning some money now?"

If your question wasn't in that list - please submit it to me, because I'd be happy to answer it!

Meanwhile, think about this, thousands of Shaklee independent business partners have been receiving checks from Shaklee for 53 years, since Dr. Shaklee founded the compay. I've been receiving checks over 12 years, and they've never missed a month, nor made an accounting mistake.

In August 2007, we were given another way to earn, over our basic 3 way compensation plan, and we all thought that was great. Then in August 2008, despite the down spiraling economics in our country, we were given earnings #5 - Tru Infinity, and they weren't kidding about the infinity part! My earnings jumped 30% the following month!

Now in August 2009, Shaklee has added two more ways to earn to our compensation plan. Despite sad economic news that seems to beat on people daily....Shaklee has had 18 consecutive months of upward growth, and when Shaklee grows, our checks show that growth! In the past couple of years we've had more young people (20's & 30's age bracket) becoming financially free. People just like you or your kids, with young families and debts. People working way over 40 hours a week yet still treading water or even losing ground.

So I guess the question comes down to, what do you want to do about your life? Are you willing to check out one more possibility, get the facts, ask your questions? Are you willing to do what many of us at Shaklee do - W O R K. You will have to work for your future, but that work can be a lot of fun, and have a great benefits with it - for example: a week long Caribbean Cruise on the Carnival Dream. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=E99FAA44552F84D0

Check out the information at: http://barefootsuccess.net then contact me. Explain what your doing and ask your questions. Let's talk and see if Shaklee and our team is a good fit for you - before you lay any membership money down. Then if you're ready to start a business that can make your dreams - realities, maybe even add some that you never thought you could even hope for... I can help you get started right away.

As part of our Business Franchise Team you are in business FOR yourself, but not BY yourself. Partner with us, join our Fast Track team, and enjoy the ride!

Business Franchise: Our alignment with the Brand of Products

Sunday, July 05, 2009

When choosing what manufacture to align our franchise business with, lots of careful thought and attention was paid to the history and sustanability of our franchise business model. We didn't want to build a franchise business model and a few years down the road have to look for another manufacturer.

Shaklee Corporation was a Recipient of Acterra's 2009 Business Environmental Award in the category of Sustainability for it's environmental policies, climate neutral status, and social equity practices.

In this video Shaklee Chairman & CEO Roger Barnett explains Shaklee's long commitment to sustainable business practices, why environmental responsibility has been part of Shaklee's DNA for over 50 years, it's all part of the Shaklee difference.

Small Business Franchise with a 53 Year Track Record

Friday, June 19, 2009

Shaklee has a 53 year track record. It is currently in 5 different growth trends in the health and wellness field. Plus the need for a small business franchise online is increasing because people need to earn more money.

The Shaklee legacy includes quality products that work. They do what they are intended to do and that is why people continue to buy them even when they are not being compensated for it. Plus there is a 100% money back guarantee, very rarely used but has always been an attribute.

The compensation plan is one of the best in the industry and continues to improve. Last year an extra, very lucrative, bonus plan was introduced - in addition to the existing pay structure. I can hardly wait to hear the news next month when another enhancement will be introduced.

Isn't it fascinating how a 53 year old company has the longest track record in our industry, a solid foundation behind a brand new business owner today, and still provides a way for anyone to earn the money they choose for such a small start-up cost. Compared to buying a traditional franchise business, not seeing a profit for possibly years, and the headache of managing employees, earning money your very first month sounds exciting!

You can start a franchise business online while you are working at your present job. Your extra time in the evenings or weekends can be focused on building something of your own. You can grow that income until it meets and exceeds your paycheck, with the goal to make it your full time, unlimited income. When you go through a recession like our country is experiencing right now, it is more incentive than ever to have multiple income streams. Many business experts think that a small business franchise should be part of every person’s financial portfolio. There are that many benefits!

Food supplements proving recession-proof

Friday, June 12, 2009


A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Marketing Strategies Coach

The ongoing slide of global capitalism is decimating industries, but the food supplements industry is not one of them as fraught consumers turn to its potential low-cost, anti-medical, wellness promise.

The surge in food supplements sales is highlighting the fact nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals have not always been easy bedfellows. They have been made to share the same blanket at times, and this has blurred the basic premise that drugs are usually designed to treat diseases and cost more, while food supplements are cheaper and suited to disease prevention.

Wellness in harsh times

The economic grind has contributed to this particular blanket being thrown off, and food supplements are revealing themselves to be more than capable of surviving the economic chill.

In the US, market analyst, IRI, notes food supplement sales were up eight per cent in the period ended December, 2008, over the same time a year previous. Similar trends are being reported elsewhere from China to Europe, South Korea, South Africa and Australia.

US vitamin retailer, Vitamine Shoppe, notes 20 per cent of customers in the past six months are first-time food supplements buyers of the likes of omega-3s, multivitamins, herbal extracts, probiotics, glucosamine and chondroitin.

US natural foods merchandiser, Whole Foods, reported its first-ever negative quarter recently, but noted food supplements were the star performer in its nationwide chain of stores.

Self-medication

With fewer shekels in the coffers of household budgets around the world, food supplements are increasing in appeal as fear-ridden consumers look for ways and means to dodge the potential budget-busting hell of the mainstream medical system. Doctors in white coats; hastily scribbled prescription notes; drug store visits for high-powered and high-cost drugs; hospital stays; clinic visits…no thanks.

As Uwe E. Reinhardt, a professor of economics at Princeton university in the US, told The New York Times last week: “When you go to the formal health system, you very quickly lose control over what this costs you.”

Perhaps there is a little justice in all this. Food supplements have after all been victim of enough kickings over the years from the likes of badly designed trials that have asked of them what they are not capable of delivering – namely, the treatment of diseases.

The resulting damage to the industry has been vast so to find droves of new consumers turning to them is heartening and validating. It backs up what many industry experts have been saying since this recession really kicked in last year – that food supplements offer a health solution that becomes more compelling in hard economic times.

Star performer

The buoyancy in food supplements has not transferred across all sectors. Growth in organic and healthy food sales has slowed. Perhaps the premiums typically attached to these foods are now proving too high and those that are more economically challenged are buying more staple items that provide calories to feed hungry bellies and worrying less about where those calories come from and the form in which they are presented.

And food supplements are increasingly seen, not as premium dietary items, but as a discount means to beat the medical system. For families and individuals to be healthier and happier. The clue is written into their very name – to supplement the diet.

Backwards, and forwards

In the same New York Times story last week, a recently sacked hairdresser and beautician outlined why she was heading to the supplement aisles even though she had fewer nickels in her purse than ever.

“I don’t have health insurance, so I can’t go and see a doctor because it’s very expensive,” said 40-year-old Jacqueline Kreiss. “The economy just really put me backward, so I started relying on the vitamins.”

Says it all really. Shame it has taken an economic catastrophe to make people like Jacqueline see the sense the supplements industry has been communicating for decades.

We have excellent validation that long-term Shaklee supplement usage really can help us stay out of the sickness care industy. See proof at Shaklee Landmark Food Supplement Study

Business Franchise: Rule #1 for Happiness and Contentment

Wednesday, October 22, 2008


A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach


In recent weeks, a wave of fear and pessimism fueled by the world financial crisis has stolen the headlines, gripped the nation, and challenged our mindset. The greed that led the world economy into crisis should NOT defeat your commitment to your business franchise online.

Change doesn't wait on Washington. And it doesn't depend on Wall Street. Change comes from within. Our company has been demonstrating that fact for more than 52 years. This video will help you understand my philosophy and the deep roots with the company our team has partnered with.

You must plan for happiness as much as much as you plan for the welfare of your business franchise online. Happiness is a state of mind... it depends entirely upon the thoughts you produce. You wouldn't know whether you were happy or not, if you didn't think about it. So make sure you can think about the happiness you know CAN be yours.

Success is not money ~ although it may include it. Success is not business activity ~ although it may encompass it. Just like a straight line is the shortest distance between two points ~ your thoughts are the direct path to success.

Business Franchise Online a plan for the rest of us? http://www.afranchiseonline.com

To your Success,

Business Franchise: Streamline Sponsoring How it works!

Sunday, July 13, 2008
barefoot franchise business
A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Marketing Strategies Coach

Business Franchise: Streamline Magic How it works!

Franchise businesses are well know around the world, great examples are McDonalds, Subway, and KinderCare just to name a few. Our Business Franchise Online is much like a franchise, but with a twist. Here is the difference. You don't spend thousands of dollars on an up front purchase. Yes any business venture you will have to spend some money, but for a business franchise online with streamline magic the investment is minimual.

Streamline Magic using the golden ticket movie is one of the simplest funnels into business I've seen. The first step go to http://afranchiseonline.com and read a little bit more about our team then to make the decision learn more about Streamline Magic by clicking on the get started button at the bottom of the page.

Once you have read about how we sponsor people in streamline it's time to take the first step into locking in your position into the streamline. You will then be directed to check your email for the link to learn more about the Golden Ticket Movie. Just an FYI.. if you don't get your email it's because your Internet Service Provider blocked your email. Try using an gmail account that generally works. OR call me at 888-272-6701 and I'll help you through this step.

In the confirmation email you will be directed to a page that will explain a litte bit more about us, streamline and Veretekk the automated lead generation system we use. On this page you will click on the link to learn more information about the Golden Ticket Movie, the process, and some testimonials of people using the Streamline Magic System. Please read all this information and understanding that you will have a page set up for you just like this one. This page is pretty long and detailed, but if you are serious about your business you will read and understand it's importance.

The next step will be to make the decision to order and watch "The Golden Ticket" it's a DVD that does all the explaining how this works. You will be express mailed the golden ticket movie in 2 to 5 business days. Now if you don't want to wait for the movie, we have several movie premiere showings online that you can plug into once you have ordered the golden ticket. Trust me you will want to have a physical copy of this movie too. In order to get the information about our premeire showings you must order a physical copy of the movie.

This may see like a long detailed explaination of the process of our Franchise Online Busines process, but I know people come to the internet wanting to know how stuff works. At least I do... and they want to know what they are getting into before they actually make any committments. Really the "Golden Ticket Movie" does all the telling and explaining for us, but you have to have your hands on a copy of the movie first.

I think the reason this process excites me so much I know I can take someone without ANY business or internet experience and if they are willing to put in a little effort in a business for themselves we will have the up, running and making money in no time flat.

Saturday, June 28, 2008
With over 2,500 franchise concepts in the US alone, business owners are finding ways to appeal to investors. And one major way to do that is offer them the benefits of working from home.

It is the new model for providing organizations and people with the concepts and strategies to transform their businesses and their professional lives.

FocalPoint is a member in good standing of the International Franchise Association, the governing body for responsible and reliable global franchising. The key principals who developed FocalPoint selected the franchise model over other business models because franchising ensures consistent standards of quality, performance and client satisfaction. In addition, franchising ensures FocalPoint products and services remain relevant and strong in the marketplace by enabling FocalPoint to better respond to market changes and differing needs.

FocalPoint believes the ability to respond to changes, and the associated ability of Brian Tracy International to produce relevant materials to respond to these changes, protects the profitability and longevity of FocalPoint franchisees and the FocalPoint brand. FocalPoint International is powered by Brian Tracy which, with distribution of literature in 18 languages throughout 45 countries, is one of the world’s most prominent brands in business and professional development.

FocalPoint Coaching
Financial Requirements

Startup Investment: $38,500 - $49,000
Cash Requirement: $50,000
Net Worth Requirement: $100,000

Did these stats just put you between a rock and a hard place? Knowing in your heart a home business franchise is for you, but the financial requirements are just a tad over your budget? NO doubt there is a huge demand for business coaching and motivation in business. What if you could have you cake and eat it too.... meaning you could be part of a franchise and work virutally at home, without the BIG financial investment.

I don't know if this business franchise is for you or not, but a franchise online might be the needle in the haystack your looking for. Don't delay the clock is ticking...

Business Franchise: Frequently Asked Franchise Questions

Thursday, June 12, 2008
Why Should I Own My Own Franchise?

Business ownership offers you the opportunity to take control of your career, finances, schedule and future. You will be your own boss, work hard for yourself, and potentially reap the rewards that business ownership can offer.

How Do I Choose The Right Franchise?

Deciding which franchise is right for you is a huge decision. The right business should not only interest you, but the initial investment amount must fit into your budget and it should enable you to live the lifestyle you desire (do you want more free time, more money, control over your work environment?). Additionally, any business you choose to buy must meet a market demand in your community. If there is no market demand or the area is already saturated with similar businesses, your new business will not have a bright, long future ahead of it. The best advice is to do your research before signing a franchise agreement. Speak with current and past franchise owners and make sure there is in fact a demand for the business in the area you'd like to open the business.

Why Should I Buy a Franchise?

Regardless of whether you have industry or business ownership experience, you can purchase most franchises because they offer complete training, comprehensive support from the home office, a proven business system, and a product or service that has proven itself to be popular and in-demand.

How Much Does A Franchise Cost?

The cost to buy a franchise varies greatly depending on what industry you choose to start the business in, whether the concept requires a storefront, office, home office, or is mobile, what state you buy the business in, and how much overhead your business will require. There are concepts that cost under $10,000 to start and other franchise businesses that require the investor to have millions of dollars in available liquid capital. Additionally, many franchise concepts offer financing or can help you gain financing if you're interested.

Can I Have A Business Partner?

This varies depending on the preferences of the franchisor but yes, most concepts will allow you to have a financial partner who may also be an operating partner, if you choose.

Can I Own More Than One Franchise?

Yes, but again, this can vary by franchise concept. Many franchisors will sell area or master franchises within a certain specified territory. These larger territories can be costly. If you own a single franchise and are successful, most franchisors will be pleased to sell you another territory. If you own one concept and would like to purchase another franchise from a different, unrelated brand, this is usually possible unless you plan to buy a competing concept.

Hopefully this FAQ will guide you in the right direction to getting started in your own franchise business. To learn more about our franchise online visit: http://www.afranchiseonline.com

Franchise Business: Gotta See this!

Thursday, May 22, 2008

This is an awesome short video clip of true sportsmanship. If you watch this video and can honestly say you wouldn't have done what the loosing team members did. Please do yourself a favor and DON'T continue reading my message. One nice thing about doing business online is we can sort and pick who we want to do business with. I choose to bring people on my team who are not only team players, but are willing to go out of their way to help another team.

Just this morning I did a 45 minute training for people who you would consider a competing team. Why did I do it? Because I knew this team desperatly needed some help understanding online marketing methods. It's kind a ironic actually about 5 minutes after finishing this training I see this sportsmanship video. Got a question for ya...

Would you start in a new business venture if you knew FOR SURE in 3 years you would have AT LEAST $5000 residual per month?

I don't know what your answer to this question is but...

For me I would say YES.. if I knew I didn't have to sell the farm to get there.

Granted it does take some money to grow your business, but what if I could say to you that even with a 90% failure rate you could still be making enough to pay for your expenses during those 3 years.

This is next to the worst case scenario guys... the worst thing that could happen is you quit. BIG MISTAKE! A word of advise....you must join a team that has character and stick with them like super-glue!

My Franchise Online Team is only for people who have the ethical and moral structure. (character) Does this discribe you?

Many have looked at my afranchiseonline.com site, have seen the vision and simplicity of what we offer. I don't know if this is for you or not.

Again, you are the final authority on your life. Tune in to yourself and do what's right for you. And as you do this, be alert to those times when you may be dismissing the next gift to come your way.

Let your guard down, give service and let life in.

Goin Green - Ridin the Wave of 3rd Party Validation

It's important to understand not one of these articles leads to an affiliate link... all of this FREEE press is from 3rd party validation. So what does that mean? Not one of these bloggers or content writers benefit's from the sale of a product that is produced from what is said on their site. They are just sharing a "good thing" like you would an excellent movie or restraunt. How many times do we as online marketers go searching online to see what others say about a product or service? Any savy online marketer knows if there is lots of good things said online by 3rd party validators it is a "Good Thing." As you scan through this list pay attention to my note at the bottom.

He invites health expert Sloan Barnett of Shaklee to his home, where she shows him how natural cleaning products can help avoid bringing unhealthy chemicals into the home, reduce the amount of water that is shipped around the world in undiluted cleaning products, yet still clean just as effectively as conventional products.

Cleaning the Safe Way
When I wrote an article on the importance of using safe cleaning products around kids a few months ago, I was pretty appalled at some of the toxic ingredients found in common household cleaners. So I made the switch to safe cleaners and right now I’m scrubbing my house down with Get Clean products from Shaklee Corporation. I’ve been very pleased with the results.

Shaklee Get Clean Starter Kit
Shaklee makes green cleaning easy with the Get Clean Starter Kit. From the kitchen to the laundry, kick-start a cleaning binge with an assortment of cleaners and a caddy organizer brimming with bottles, pumps, cloths, and sponges. Non-toxic and hypoallergenic, these products smell great and guarantee that deep clean we’re all looking for. In fact, in tests the Fresh Laundry liquid concentrate was shown to remove stains and dirt 30% better than supermarket competitors

How to Hack Your Swiffer
Use a biodegradable, nontoxic, and all-natural floor cleaner—we particularly dig concentrated cleaners from Shaklee because paying to transport water is just silly, not to mention a waste of packaging—or mix up your own with vinegar and some warm water.

Zoë b Organic Weekly: Shaklee Get Clean H2 all purpose cleaner
Once you realize how many harmful chemicals are in commonly used cleaning products, it's difficult to ignore the danger they pose to you, your family, and the planet. That's why I've been using "green" cleaning products in our home for some time now. But I only recently discovered the Get Clean line from Shaklee. It does exactly what it promises to do. A 16oz bottle creates 48 gallons of safe (non-toxic, natural, and biodegradable), all-purpose cleaner. Use it for walls, windows, mirrors, countertops, floors, appliances, stoves, woodwork, and more. By making their products super-concentrated, Shaklee creates less waste: less weight to ship, less packaging to throw away. So it's better for both your family and the environment.

Gigi Talks to: Amy Brenneman
Amy: I am a spokesperson for a wonderful group called "Healthy Child, Healthy World" which is concerned with environmental toxins and their affects on children. They have five easy steps towards a healthier, green home which I have tried to adopt. They are: eat organically, no pesticides, judicious use of plastics when cooking, clean air filters in the home, and use non-toxic cleaning products, such as Method or Seventh Generation or Shaklee. I also drive a Prius and am in the process of changing my yard to include mostly drought resistant plants. I PLAN to make even more changes: solar panels and composting are at the top of my list.

Good, Clean Fun
To remove stains from clothing, try soaking fabrics in water mixed with borax, lemon juice, hydrogen peroxide, washing soda, or white vinegar. Or, look for "non-chlorine bleach" made from sodium percarbonate or sodium perborate, available from Bio Pac, Ecover, Naturally Yours, Shaklee, or Seventh Generation.

Cleaning Products
Beyond what they do to our health, chemical-based cleaners pollute whole ecosystems too proving toxic to aquatic animals and fish. For example, Phosphates, the water-softening mineral additives used in most dishwasher detergents, over-nutrify waterways, causing algae to grow profusely. Overabundance of algae deprives fish of oxygen and results in declining populations.
We are pleased to recommend the products of Seventh Generation and Shaklee, partners of Healthy Child, Healthy World.

Think about this for a minute... If you are going to promote something online isn't it simplier when there are groves of people online to looking for the product you are promoting? Now think about content; when you have a company that has been in business over 50 years, has over 200 products AND all this google spider food (content) waiting for you to use, doesn't it makes sense to take advantage of what's already available? That's what we have as a Shaklee Distributor. Shaklee does have a corporate website sometimes is refered to in this 3rd party valadation. The customers that come through that site are passed out to an active distributor FREEE according to geographic location.

Let's take this FREEE press stuff one step further... what if you could join a team that has a blog posting site that was already at the top of google and every time you posted to this site it was your information at the top of google. Think about the linking possibilities from the team blog out to your new content site. The google spiders love it... how long do you think it would take to get your new content site with only your affiliate links to the top of google?

Our team sponsors people in a streamline under you. Time is of the essence. www.afranchiseonline.com Trust me it's better than a McDonalds franchise and lots less expensive too.

Ok then... what are you waiting for... the clock is ticking,

Top 5 Reason's to write a Press Release

You probably already know this, but sometimes it's nice to have a reminder of what you should be doing to get results in your business. Successful Business's have been using freee press since the invention of the printing press. Just yesterday while listening to Joe Vitale's newest online video, (posted on my Barefoot Marketing Strategies Blog) it hit me it's been a few years since I've talked about the power of press releases.

Now, let me ask you a question... Can you honestly say you are using press releases to their fullest potential in your business? I decided it was time to share my top 5 reasons for writing press releases.

1. Organic Traffic
This is probably the most obvious one. If your press release is well optimized, it can be ranked in google on 2 to 3 days in the orangic listings. Generally it shows first day under the Google news and other news feeds.

2. Bloggers & Social Network Audience
Many bloggers suscribe to online press release distribution services like PRWeb. (this is a content writing hint) If your press release interests them, they might blog about it and link to your press release. If you consistantly reach out to this audience, you can get significant links, traffic and sales from this.

3. Traffic from Traditional Media
If your press release interests journalists, they will follow up with you and write a story about your business. This will most certainly lead to a burst of website traffic and sales. Did you know journalists are starting to hang out on social network sites looking for a good story? I noticed this trend in my market research of social networks.

4. Link Building
Be sure to put your important keywords linked to your revelant pages on your website. When the press release is distributed some of these links will be picked up by other news feeds.

5. Reputation Control
If someone has criticized your business, one sure way to get the criticsm off the first page of Google search results is to do mutiple press releases.

Would you like to know how I use little known online marketing secrets to maximize search engine optimization, social networking, RSS feeds, list building and more? The answer is really quite simple. I learned the right skills, developed the right strategies, and tested the strategies over and over until I found what works. Pretty simple formula, isn't it?

Skills + Strategies + Testing + Fine Tuning Based on Results = Online Success

This is precisely what I did and continue to do online that generates income 24 hours a day - 7 days a week. And you can learn to do what I do, in a fraction of time it took me.  Not to mention all the time and money I invested to test everything.

That's right...

If you have a dream to run your own business and become an online success story like I did making passive income, start plugging into my trainings. My Veretekk training is exclusive for gold suscribers that are serious about learning my online and offline marketing techniques to build their own business success. If this is you, take inspired action, and show up. Here is a link to my event schedule http://www.barefoot-in-the-garden.com/eventschedule.htm  I update this weekly.
