Herbalife

My name is Dawn Bittle and I am an Independent Herbalife Distributor. My most important job is being a mother. I have two very incredible children. Courtney is 4 1/2 and has Caudel Regression Syndrome (heart, kidney, spine, severe club feet and other anomalies). Courtney has already had 16 surgeries and many more minor ones that I don't count. No need to add stress here! Curt is 2 and is the most lovable little guy. Don't get me wrong, he is as ornery as any other little boy his age but he is so sweet too. Already has me wrapped around his little finger. I have been married for nearly 7 years to Tom and he is a good guy! He helps so much with our kids and takes a very active role in their lives. He has helped me get through all of the difficult times with Courtney, always sees the light at the end of the tunnel.

As far as Herbalife goes it was really accidental that I became involved. I joined as a wholesale customer in order to receive a discount on my weight loss program. I told my sponsor not to ever ask me to sell this stuff and I didn't want anything to do with the business end. Well, I ordered my wholesale/distributor kit and as usual asked questions later. I called a few friends to find out if they had ever heard of the products or if they knew anyone that had success with them. I ended up collecting over $300 in orders in less than 2 hours over the phone. So, I called my sponsor to give her some orders. She made me place them! After I hung up I realized I had already earned my own products free. I was amazed.

Quickly, Herbalife became a business for me. I was not only getting my own weight loss program free but I was generating an income. Quite surprised at myself I am now working the business. 95% of my business is online now and I love it!

Herbalife was an incredible answer for me. I had worked full time before Courtney was born and planned to go back at least part time. For obvious reasons I couldn't. I felt that I would be unreliable in the work force. Herbalife has allowed me to lose weight, increase my energy and earn an extra income. I am very excited to say that I just won a satellite dish from Herbalife too. In order to win you had to place $5,000 in orders between May 16, 1998 - June 1, 1998. I couldn't believe it! My daughter had just had 5 surgeries and was hospitalized 17 days in April and I just assumed I would have a slow May. As it turns out I doubled my average volume in April then tripled it in May. My hard work is paying off.

Network marketing can be an incredible experience. It is work and it takes time to build; but, once it does build it is so worth it. I work less than 10 hours per week most of the time and I am enjoying a full time income now. Best wishes in your network marketing experience. Never give up and be consistent and you can't lose!!!
