1. Improve its image.
2. Improve the results you are (not) getting.
3. Improve how they pay you.
4. Make it so it's more fun to do it.
5. Attract better people.

These are starter ideas.

Please submit your ideas on what you think can be done as if someone who can make the changes you request, is actually listening and willing to try out whatever you suggest.

Write this from YOUR point of view. And tell us what that is. E.g.,

"I am doing the business part time, I'm a woman, and here's what I think needs improving."

Reply below in the "Comments" section, I'll gather them up this week and post them. We'll have a live discussion on one of my next big conference calls, and I'll invite one of your company CEOs to respond and give his/her take. We'll respectfully put them on the hot seat. :) If they'll come, of course.

If those who love and are IN the business don't speak up, how will you ever be heard?

And if you don't speak up, how will we ever get those changes we want, made?

Remember, it doesn't do the companies any good to have massive dropouts either. They tank too, just like the individuals do. And they don't like it any better than you do.

So let's help them, and get the ideas out there and in front of them, shall we?

"Thanks Mom, for championing my cause..."

Happy to report this comment from Michelle...

As Stan said, thanks for making us think. Also, thanks for articulating the reason why I've been uncomfortable with the recruiting emphasis in Shaklee.

Thanks for championing my cause, a part-time mom who wants to build an amazing customer base, earn my monthly "mad money", and have fun while I'm doing it.

After reading your comments, I am more comfortable with my place in the business, and I don't feel the need to justify my position to myself...

It's a start...
