'for a healthier life'

We were not actively looking to get involved in this business or any other, but looking for something that Fiona could do from home.

I work in Facilities Management looking after a very demanding IT Company in the North of England. Fiona on the other hand has MS (Multiple sclerosis) and is unable to hold down full time occupation, although looking after our 7 year old, Rachel, is a full time job.

In order to remain active and stimulate her mind, plus giving extra pocket money, Fiona has tried various part-time jobs and work that can be carried out from the home, which had to fall in to line will school hours. Unfortunately, the last one ended with us owing the company money after 4 months work, which was never explained at the start. Trying to turn this round was having a detrimental effect on her health due to spending more time delivering brochures and promoting the products.

It was at this point that we turned to the internet to see what was available and during one of these searches, I received one of those pop-ups that everyone hates. However on this occasion, I thought ‘what the heck, let’s fill it in and see what happens’. I think within a couple of days, I received a phone call from Alan who spoke to both Fiona & I about FLP (Forever Living Products) and suggested that he sent us a DVD to watch. After a few days we had received the DVD, watched it and awaited to see if we would receive a follow up phone call as promised or was this just another of those scams.

Anyway, Alan did contact us as promised and we agreed to attend a meeting in order to meet other distributors and to learn more about the products with a view to building a business with FLP. Fiona was so impressed with what she had seen and was buzzing with enthusiasm, with ideas wanting to start with the products, I went along with Fiona’s plan and a couple of weeks later ordered Fiona the fast start pack. We were told everything about the company, the training and support we would be given to order for us to succeed plus the pack we had ordered came with a 60 day money back guarantee, so how could we lose.

The business is now starting to tick over nicely and we hope to sponsor additional distributors over the next few weeks. Both Fiona, our daughter and I all use the products, with Fiona gaining the most benefit as they are helping control the MS by giving her more energy at times when she would normally be tired.

Although I was feeling sceptical (as do most blokes when money is involved, which Alan told me he was at the beginning) at the start, I am now really involved by running the business behind the products and now feel a lot more confident about the products than I initially was and speak to colleagues on a regular basis hoping to entice them in to running their own business. Mine and Fiona’s first main target is that, when my current contract is up, we will be in the position of working for ourselves and not having to go to work for someone else.
