How scepticism turned to complete financial freedom

 

"We first looked at Forever Living Products in 1997. At the time I was a very successful senior manager in the telecoms industry and Jeff was running his own franchise.

For 13 months, a friend of Jeff's had been asking him to take a look at Forever, but he kept turning him down. He was too busy with his own business to consider anything else. But as the months went by and Jeff worked harder and harder for less and less money, he became more receptive to the idea.

So on a Wednesday in October 1997 he went to meet a couple in Exeter to check out the Forever business. He didn't really think it was for him, but he wanted to make a final decision based on the facts rather than his own preconceived ideas.

Two hours later he came home with a handful of scribbled papers and a belief that he had just seen the most amazing business that could change our lives. I was sceptical, to say the least, but in the end I agreed - after all, what did we have to lose?

So Jeff started his Forever business and I watched from the sidelines. When I saw how much fun he was having with it, we started working it together on a part-time basis. As it began to grow, so did our confidence. We also started to benefit personally from the products and began to feel much better. Soon there was no stopping us!

Just seven months after we first looked at the business, I took voluntary redundancy, which was a huge shock to my work colleagues. At the same time Jeff sold his business. We'd both come to the conclusion that our jobs gave us income but no lifestyle - and that Forever could deliver both, in spades.

We are now eleven years down the line. We live in our beautiful eight bedroom detached house overlooking the beach and bay in Torquay. The financial freedom we were told we would have if we worked this business happened years ago. The most important things for us have been that the last eleven years have been our best. We have quality time with each other, have laughed more, made more friends, "holidayed" around the world extensively, paid for by Forever and Jeff has been able to spend real quality time with his children and grand children, priceless."

 

 

As the years went by I seemed to work harder and harder

 

"I have an engineering background with the Royal Navy and ten years of marketing and consultancy experience. Greg had 17 years Royal Air Force service behind him. For me, it all started when for almost 3 years I travelled 274 miles everyday. My days started and 4am, leaving home by 5am, a 2 hour drive and generally I got home by 9pm. One Friday evening I was sat on the motorway, stuck in traffic and I cried, mainly because I was so tired and I knew that I’d have to do it all again next week. After a lot of searching I found this Company, and having looked at the opportunity I was very sceptical, it really did seem too good to be true. I also wondered how on earth I could do something else on top of 60+hrs a week and a family. I really didn’t have any time. I knew that if things were to change then I had to change. The deeper I looked the more I realised that I was the potential barrier to achieving my dreams, because I didn't want to believe that such an amazing and ethical opportunity existed. As the rule goes, more of the same = more of the same but if you're willing to do something different, you will get different results. That was 6 years ago. You see somebody held my hand every step of the way and that’s what we will do for you. Walking away from everything you have ever known isn't easy. Starting a new career isn't easy, but we can help you short circuit the fear and concerns. We care about helping you build your business.The most satisfying part of this business is knowing that our children will never need to worry. How many jobs can give you that security?We now have the choices and balance in our lives that most people only dream about."

 

 

 

From eking out a pension to retiring in style

 

"Two years ago, a good friend invited us to attend an evening presentation of Forever Living Products. We very reluctantly agreed to go, although we had made up our minds to decline the opportunity. Even though we decided not to join the business, we felt that at our age we could benefit from using the products and appreciated being able to obtain them at wholesale prices. We found that just by telling our friends about the products we had customers from the outset, and before we knew it our business began to grow! The past fifteen months have been an eye opener for us - our lifestyle has been totally transformed. Not only do we have an amazing product that helps a lot of people to improve their health, we also have a reward system that is peerless in our experience. We have already qualified for the Car Plan Bonus and achieved a lot of company recognition. In September we're off to Spain again for a few days in a luxury hotel at the company's expense, and we have every expectation that our ever-increasing income will allow us to become completely debt free very soon.We had imagined eking out our state pension somehow, and FLP has changed everything. Our golden wedding anniversary is in 2006, and we plan to take our family on the holiday of a lifetime to celebrate, something we didn't dare dream possible before. This company has scope for people of any age to make a success and we are very grateful to it."
