A Perfect Wintery Rainy Day with My Daughter



One of the best advantage of working at home is the joy and opportunity to have fun with my daughter.  A very boring and gloomy day turned out to be fun.  My almost 2 1/2 year old Shirin was so happy to pose for mommy for some fun and playful time.

  • Oct 22 - achieved "Believer" level, accumulated of 500 in total Sales Volume Points on each side of the organization.
  • Oct 23 - received my FIRST COMMISSION check.  Only after 4 weeks into the business, I made my first paycheck.  Very motivating and inspiring for me and my team.
  • November 10 - Had a great lunch with Jennifer, Rolando, and Carlos. Very fortunate to finally meet my USANA team from San Antonio, Texas. So humbled that they stopped by NYC just to meet me. 
  • November 18 - reached "Builder" level
  • November 20 - so far I made $500 on commissions, only 7 weeks into the organization.

I'm a USANA Associate

I'm proud to announce that I've joined the USANA family.  "USANA Health Sciences is one of America’s leading companies in the field of health and nutrition."  My very best friend from elementary school, introduce me to this business opportunity.  I was sold immediately when I heard about USANA's product line.  Growing up from a very health conscious business-minded family, this idea was not foreign to me. My parents have established a natural and alternative medicine retail chain store empire in my home country of the Philippines.  After 24 years, my mother, Rose, is still broadcasting her natural health lectures every morning in Manila, DZRJ AM.  We are very fortunate to have found high quality, science-based health products that can be added on my mother's stores' existing successful product line.
Why I became a USANA associate:
On my last blog entry, http://sherryworkathomediary.blogspot.com/2009/10/what-why-and-how.html, I revealed my personal goals and dreams.  Not only that I wanted to get HEALTHY, I also want to get WEALTHY.  USANA's amazing compensation plan and superior products can help me achieve that.  I wanted to be able to enjoy my life with family and friends, and at the same time still generate huge income.  I tried the "RESET" diet program last week that I also blogged about and documented my transformation http://sherryworkathomediary.blogspot.com/2009/10/day-5-reset-challenge-last-day.html.   I saw immediate result by using the products just for 5 days, and I lost 4 pounds.  I wanted to see for myself the quality and potency of the product, and I wasn't disappointed.

How I became a USANA associate:
  • My friend from Texas and her husband sponsored me to the organization.  They taught me the dynamics of the business.  Since we've been friends since elementary, our communication as mentor and student was so easy.
  • I signed up September 27, 2009
  • The week before I signed up, I called my family and very close friends and shared the USANA business opportunity.  Some were skeptical and some were very interested to learn more.
  • I started reading Don Failla's  "45 Second Presentation That Will Change Your Life" Booklet
  • October 5th, I received my USANA business starter kit and products.
  • October 6th,  I started "RESET" diet program
  • October 7th, my mother called and checked my progress about the diet and asked how I felt eating the shakes and bar supplements.  When I told her how great I felt and the product seems to be working, she immediately decided to join the USANA team too.
  • October 8th, made more phone calls to my cousin from Texas and very close family friends from New Jersey about my mother's decision to join USANA.  They immediately confirmed that they wanted to sign up.
  • October 10th,  my friends from New Jersey signed up in my organization.
  • October 11, my sponsor's father signed up also in my organization to take advantage of the retail sales that my mother would generate.
  • October 12, my mother finally signed up in the USANA Philippines office in Makati.
  • October 13, started promoting the products on her radio program and sold out her starter product kit in 2 days.
  • October 15, my mother reordered more products for the coming week.  This means that I will be getting my first $100 commission next Friday, and weekly compensation will start coming.
As you can see, my organization is really consist ONLY of FAMILY and FRIENDS.  My husband, brother and cousin will sign up in the next few days.  I love the idea of doing this business with family and friends, but at the same time become an INDEPENDENT business owner.  I'm in the process of teaching more members of my family and friends, and hopeful that they would take the advantages and rewards of this business.


If someone in your family or friends have already introduced this to you, please give USANA a deeper look and make an educated decision.  Who can you trust but your family and friends, right?  Listen to what they have to offer and try the products yourself.  You don't have to be a great salesman to create this business.  All you need is the ability to be teachable.  This is the best home-based business in my opinion.  You choose the people you want to work with, and never need to talk to strangers.


I will post updates and progress with my USANA business in this blog, so this could be a helpful information to anyone who would like to try the business.  You can see my mistakes and success in this blog and learn from it.

What, Why, and How

WHAT do I want?
1.  Get healthy and lose weight
2.  Go to a family vacation
3.  Payoff credit cards, mortgage, car loan and school loans
4.  Generate more residual income
5.  Gain financial freedom
6.  Spend quality time with my family
7.  Travel the world
8.  Grow old and live long
9. Give back and help others

WHY do I want it?
1.  I want to get healthy and lose weight, so my husband and I could have another baby.  I want to be baby-ready physically and mentally.  Living healthy will also help me live long to see my children grow and to see my grandchildren grow.
2. We haven't been in a real relaxing vacation as a family.  We need a break from our very busy life living in the city.  We need to recharge.
3.  Wouldn't it be great not to worry about bills and mortgage anymore?  Just be able to wake up in the morning and smell the roses.  No more worry about money.  I want to see the world and experience different cultures and traditions.
4.  Giving back to charities is the most fulfilling act one could do.  I want to be able to share real money to help organizations for  good cost. 

HOW can I get WHAT I WANT?
Now that I know what I want and why I want it, what am I going to do about it?  What am I waiting for to start leaving my life?  How can I get on the top of the hill if I don't start taking steps now?  Where should I start to finally realize my dreams?  How can I create "multiple streams of income"?  Where should I invest?  What should I do with my real state properties?  What should I do with my resources?
