Does anyone here remember the health movement back in the 70's - when most of those "in-the-know" were using Shaklee products?

Shaklee was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forest Shaklee along with his sons. Shaklee was founded with the mission of making people and the planet healthier,Shaklee MLM Home Business - Grandfather Of All MLM Companies Articles values which are more relevant now than ever before," said Shaklee CEO Roger Barnett. It is this innovative approach to business that has made Shaklee the environmental pioneer that it is today." Among other achievements in 2007, Shaklee partnered with Millennium Promise to facilitate direct emissions reductions by providing sustainable solar energy to electrify villages in Malawi, was selected by the nation's leading child advocacy group, Healthy Child Healthy World, as the exclusive partner for a new video titled, "Creating Healthy Environments for Children" starring actress Amy Brenneman, and was awarded the Global Green USA Organizational Design Award for outstanding leadership in spreading the message of improving the health of the planet through its network of more than 750,000 members and distributors.

Shaklee was an incredible visionary because not only is the product positioning and philosophy, which is exactly what he set up 50 years ago, so on target today, it's even more relevant today than it was then. The form of having a distributed model of distribution was so far advanced and ahead of it's time, it's mind-blowing. Shaklee was a proponent for natural methods of healing and also was a strong believer in environmental issues. Shaklee is one of the most recognizable names in network marketing. Shaklee was the first company in the world certified Climate Neutral, they have products that are green seal certified and also Kosher Certified. These are not easy certifications to come by.

The network marketing industry today is almost a 100 Billion dollar industry worldwide. The industry owes this to the pioneers who legitimized this industry which, Shaklee was a part of.

Shaklee MLM home business can be lucrative if someone knows how to market effectively. It is cerainly not a scam, but like any business, success will be determined by the skill-set of the marketer. The potential to grow a huge business is there, just not with outdated marketing techniques.

Like any other network marketing company, it requires large numbers of people to create success, so if someone does not have the first clue on how to market effectively, then I would suggest they either learn the skills to be an effective marketer, or else just use the products and take the benefits of it.
