SHAKLEE WANTS TO HELP 50,000 FAMILIES GET HEALTHIER IN THE NEXT 7 WEEKS!
I am on a mission to help them! :)
Consider this: one family deciding to convert to our non-toxic biodegradable household cleaners keeps the equivalent of 5,000 bottles of conventional "ready-to-use" glass cleaner out of landfills. What would it mean if 50,000 families did the same? A great big thanks from the planet, and from people all over the world who share this wonderful home we call Earth.
If you have been considering becoming a distributor, you can now get more!!! Contact me for more info.
***NEW MEMBERS WILL ALSO RECIEVE A HOUSE OF GRACE SPECAIL***

This week is Organizing Your Bill-Paying System!
There are a lot of different ways to pay your bills!
Some people have paper everywhere and hope they paid everything on time and others have a system that works for them.
Having a system, even a simple one, can make your bill paying a lot smoother!
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK!
Set a Pay Billing Schedule!
You should pick a day that you pay your bills whether weekly or bi-weekly AND PUT IT IN YOUR PLANNER!!! This is important and you don’t want to forget to pay a bill, especially a mortgage payment. We have a system that works for us. My husband brings in the mail and I sort it. I immediately THROW out ALL junk mail. Then, I place all the incoming mail in a file and the bills in another file. I pay most of our bills and I actually really like paying them the day we get them. I know, that is not a real schedule, I will try to pick one day for that! But we do schedule our mortgage and credit card bills. My husband is in charge of those biggies. My husband gets paid bi-weekly and he pays our mortgage after one check and the credit card bill after the other. That way, we make sure the big one are taken care of! Our system in a team effort, ha! This works for us.
I showed you HERE, how I file my mail. I keep my mail “file” box right in my kitchen, where I pay my bills.
Set up a bill paying section.
Get all your stamps, envelopes, calculator, address labels, etc together. I have a drawer in my kitchen where I keep all my stuff together. But, besides my magazine subscription bills, I can’t remember the last time I sent a check in the mail. I told you all last week that we do everything online. I LOVE paying bills online!!! It saves me time because I don’t have to fill out a check and envelope (not that it’s hard, it is just one more thing!). It saves my money because I am not buying envelopes and stamps. Also, I can trust that my check will not get lost in the mail. I can also see how much money is in the account.
Write paid.
After you pay your bills, write paid on it! You don’t want to double pay a bill! To make it easier to pay bills, try to only have one credit card! The less bills to pay the easier!!
Record your bill.
It is good to keep track of all your expense, so record what you just paid. This is also a great time to check your balance!
File.
To keep things organized, FILE your bill after you pay it! Keep a file for all paid bills.
I keep my paid bills in a file cabinet. This makes it easy to file and find later if I need to look at it again.
For more tips, please read, Organize Now! I have been getting a lot of emails from people telling me how much they like this book. If you are looking for a helpful yet simple book to get your life in order, I highly recommend it! :) I am not getting paid to promote this book but if you order through my link, I will get a small percentage.
Thanks! :)

"Cinch is very easy! The weekly measuring keeps me motivated, and I am still going strong! On my journey to attain my pre-cancer weight, I have found myself again." Nancy says.
Here is Nancy, 53 pounds healthier*
In June 2006, Nancy was diagnosed with cancer—stage four malignant metastatic melanoma. Treatments for the cancer were successful but left her with some extra pounds. As grateful as she was to be healthy again, Nancy wanted to get her old shape back, too.
“Over the next three years,” Nancy says, “I tried several popular diets. Nothing worked for me; I even gained weight on one plan. My thyroid was checked in case the cancer treatment had changed its function, but it was normal. I thought I would just have to learn to accept being overweight.”
Nancy was familiar with Shaklee because her father has been taking Shaklee vitamins for 40 years. And she recalls that “learning about the Cinch Inch Loss Plan seemed like an answer to my prayers! I needed to find ‘me’ again.”
At 200 pounds, Nancy started the Cinch program. She followed the plan diligently, tweaking it a bit to make it fit her schedule: a shake for breakfast, half of a Meal-in-a-Bar for lunch, and a sensible dinner—plus a 3-in-1 Boost tablet with each meal and Cinch Energy Tea Mix each afternoon. Now she is 53 pounds lighter.
“I went from size 16 to size 10 and lost 29½ total inches,” she says.
“Cinch is very easy! The weekly measuring keeps me motivated, and I am still going strong! On my journey to attain my pre-cancer weight, I have found myself again. Thank you, Cinch, and thank you to the Shaklee Distributor who took time to come talk to me. I FEEL GREAT!”
*Results not typical. In a preliminary clinical study of the Cinch Inch loss Plan, participants on average lost 15.4 pounds in 12 weeks.

This week is Organizing Your Finances!
There are a lot of different ways to organize your finances and the most important thing is that you just do it!!!
You can buy a program or make your own. Just use something that works for you and your family!
When my husband and I first got married, we used the very old fashioned system…paper and a pen, ha!
BUT, that worked for us! We just wrote our budget out and then we knew how much we had to spend where AND we stayed in our budget!!! We were REALLY strict!!!! Almost a little too much BUT we needed to be.
We were only 19 years old when we got married and money was TIGHT! Luckily, we had help from our families. For the first year of our marriage, we lived with Scott’s Mom to save money. That REALLY helped us financially! We had a GOAL to save enough money for a down payment for our first home (condo) and not have any credit card debt. AND WE DID IT!!! We were also very fortunate because we both received full-ride scholarships to college. That was huge for us!!! I went for 2 years and my husband went for 5. We paid our credit card bill off every month and never missed! That was REALLY important to us. (We did use a credit/debit card because of the points…hey, we like free stuff, ha!) We really sacrificed to stay DEBT FREE!! We had our daughter when my husband was still in collage and I then stayed at home with her. I worked a little and so did my husband. We pretty much NEVER bought anything new. That is one reason why I love garage sales so much! I furnished our whole condo without buying anything new! I was proud of that too, lol! I should show you those pictures sometime. We were just living within our means. We also didn’t go out to eat very much. That just didn’t make the budget. :( We didn’t have a house phone (only cells), no cable, and we did ALL house projects/repairs yourself!!! Since we bought a cheaper condo, we were able to fix it up and sell it for a good amount more. Which then helped us buy our house that we have now.
After, Scott finished school and got a real job, we bought Quicken software and linked it to our online banking to track everything. Again, our goal was to continue to NOT HAVE CREDIT CARD debt! We used Quicken for about a year, until we were comfortable with our budget. Even after my husband got his job, I continued to stay on the thrifty side. I liked staying within our means. I HATE debt and didn’t want to be in it. I still LOVE to garage sale and find a deal where I can plus!! If we want to buy something, we make sure that we can afford it…even cars. There has been times, where I wish I could just go on a huge shopping spree and go crazy at the mall but staying on a budget is more important and that is our priority! I could go without the newest of the new!! STUFF doesn’t really matter! Over the past year, I have been able to also add a little income with my Shaklee business which has allowed us to send our daughter to private school.
Currently, we do all our budgeting and bill paying online. We budget together and we both know where our money is going! We still don’t buy what we can’t pay for! We know what we have in our accounts and what our budget is for each spending category…still no cable/dish! I still buy mostly everything at garage sales and with the money we are saving from our thriftyness, we are able to give to our charities and save for retirement!!! We give a good percentage to our church and we have it come out of our account electronically to make sure we don’t spend it. That’s the same thing with our 401K fund.
What has really helped us, was that we sat down together and made a plan and stayed in our budget even when it was tight. We both agreed that we wanted to be/stay debt free (minus a mortgage). The important thing is that we stayed on track and kept our priorities in line.
GOALS FOR THIS WEEK!
- Find a place to keep your bills
- Make a list of all your expenses (you can use a program or make your own)
- Make a budget
- Schedule a time to pay bills
- Commit to your FUTURE! (Build savings/401K/Retirement)
- Ask for help (if needed)
- Set up college fund(s) and charities

Have you been thinking about working from home?
Well, CBS NEWS just did a piece about great companies for women to start at home businesses with!
They called these companies “Turnkey” companies because you can turn the key and start today!
“Most of the set-up work already done and only small investments needed to help busy women get started in business”
Can you guess what company they mentioned??? Yup! SHAKLEE!!!
This is what they wrote about Shaklee…
The key thing to know about Shaklee is that it is the No. 1 natural nutrition company in the US and is focused on creating the most sustainable and effective whole health product on the planet. To get started, Shaklee offers a full kit of products for $600. They also have a less expensive kit at $300 (with slightly fewer products), but there's also the ability for new distributors to start for $40...but for that price they only receive business materials (no products). Under their compensation plan, people earn between 20-50 percent and have the ability to participate in a car payment program, trips and other cash bonuses. Their sweet spot is women aged 35-45 that have come out of the workplace or want to come out of the workplace and create their own businesses. These are people that have a passion for healthy living and understand that the things they put in, on and around their bodies make a difference in their long term health. Their key product categories include Healthy Nutrition (core and targeted health solutions), Healthy Weight (weight management), Healthy Home (natural non toxic cleaning products) and Healthy Beauty (personal care products).
Here is the video from the news segment. (Shaklee is last so make sure you watch the whole video)
I LOVE working from home and love Shaklee! This is a great fit for me and my family!!
Do you work from home?
