Here is an excellent 10-minute video by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, that explains his CASHFLOW Quadrant. Mr. Kiyosaki uses this simple sketch to challenge some of our most cherished beliefs, and to explore the wisdom of starting one's own business--specifically a "network marketing" business (such as that offered by the Shaklee Corporation). The next 10 minutes could be one of those pivotal moments that changes your life.

"Franchises and network marketing took away the hard part of developing your own system. You acquire the rights to a proven system..."
"Think of these business systems as bridges. Bridges that will provide a path for you to cross safely from the left side to the right side of the CASHFLOW Quadrant…your bridge to financial freedom."
--From CASHFLOW Quadrant, by Robert Kiyosaki, p. 79.

For a relatively small (or possibly even "very small," depending on our involvement) investment, Shaklee Corporation gives us the privilege to either purchase its products for ourselves at discount, or to buy the rights to its highly successful and stable business system--a system in use for over 50 years. You have the option of three different levels of involvement:
- Member ($19.95--for those who simply want to purchase product; permanent approx. 15% discount on all products)
- Distributor ($39.95--for those who want to start their own business; can include a "free product" that more than makes up for this payment)
- GOLD Ambassador ($299--for the entrepreneur who wants to market in several countries, including U.S., Canada, Mexico, China, others; includes products whose retail value covers this fee)
You have nothing to lose, and much to gain! For details, click here.
In other words, the Shaklee Corporation provides us with one of those "bridges" that allows us to cross over from being employed to being a business owner, which in turn allows us to consider becoming an investor, if we so choose.
My goal is to develop a business in partnership with the Shaklee Corporation that will be large enough to help others attain their dreams, to help them spend time with their family, fund their projects and create a lifestyle that allows them the privilege of earning an automatic stream of income, whether awake or asleep, at home or on vacation, or visiting one of the countries that they want to know better (for example, in my case, France, Spain, Mexico).
One of the surest ways of creating wealth is to first create a business. And wealth is what ultimately gives us the freedom to create the lifestyle of our dreams like nothing else can.
If you are seriously interested in creating a different lifestyle, evaluating the market for the kinds of products that Shaklee manufactures, and exploring the possibility of partnering with Real World Projects and the Shaklee Corporation, you may want to listen to this 66-minute "Explore the Possibilities" audio file. The recording is dated May 3, 2010, and is that of a "webinar" given by Carolyn Wightman, a Shaklee Presidential and Lifetime Master Coordinator, based in the Florida Keys. I personally know Carolyn and I am fully aware of her commitment and dedication to helping others and improving the quality of our environment.
