Our Business Makes Money While We Are On Holiday

We are taking a long weekend away from home and our business to chill out, wine and dine, and recharge our batteries. However before we go this morning we will be delivering catalogues to a customer base of around 50 houses so that they are making money for us whilst we enjoy ourselves. Our usual routine is to collect the catalogues on Monday, however this week we have put a note in advising that we will collect on Wednesday.

Its great to be able to put our business aside for 5 days and know that it is still earning us an income. Reports from the network have suggested that leaving catalogues with customers for longer than the norm has little detrimental effect, in fact the opposite occurs and the result is a bigger return then usual. We are about to test those reports and will let you know the outcome next week.

Bored & Depressed With Work?

A survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers.has revealed that one in three UK workers admits having lied to take sick leave, and the majority said they did so because they were bored and depressed with work. Read the full report here.

I cannot understand what is achieved by the negative action of pulling a sickie, there is the short term boost by having the day off work, but the boring job is still there the next day.  If someone is so bored and depressed by their job then they need to take positive action and get a different job that will challenge them. The problem is that far too many people in the UK today are happy to settle for less than the best, to go with the flow, or are too lazy to work at all. If that is the path that you choose for your life then pity you.

Are You Still Working The 45 Year Plan Or Are You Your Own Boss?

Stephanie & Chris Cook

I joined Kleeneze in May 2009 with a view to building a sustainable business that would allow me to come out of Childminding. Unfortunately, Chris, a HGV Fitter of 21 years, was made redundant not long after, and decided to work Kleeneze instead of taking a job that paid less for an increase in hours, whilst I was to continue Childminding. With the security of the redundancy money, there was no real urgency to build a business and we retailed between £1,000 and £1,500 each period.

We attended the Company Conference in January 2011 and realisation dawned that we really weren’t going to build a successful business without changing our entire attitude and belief towards Kleeneze, and just as importantly, towards ourselves. I went to see our sponsors, Sylvia and Gary Green, the following day to ask them to show me how I could help build a business around what Chris was already doing. I wanted out of Childminding as soon as possible and we were now looking to replace both combined incomes.

A 90 day plan of activity was worked out around my Childminding business and my other commitments. Yes, sacrifices had to be made, but I knew it was necessary to drive the business forward. I have persistently and consistently stuck to my plan, and Chris is now presenting catalogues alongside our customer base to increase the retail too. Both of us have stepped out of our comfort zones to increase our activity and retail – and we’re getting fabulous results. We know, that we will see a massive change to our business over the next few months, and our combined efforts will build us a solid business over the upcoming years, of this we are certain.

We are no longer working the 45 year plan, we’re working OUR plan, to get OUR business where it needs to be, providing a fabulous future for OUR family and to give US the financial and time freedom WE deserve.

Marian Gave Up A Nursing Career & Now Earns Almost £3000 With Kleeneze

Marian Goodwin

I was looking to top up my nursing income when a Kleeneze catalogue came through my door.  I made enquiries about joining and within a few days I received an information pack.  

I liked what I saw and started with 200 catalogues,  and in my first month I earned £275.

After going to meetings and mixing with other Kleeneze distributors. I started to see the bigger picture on how you can make the bigger incomes with Kleeneze.

Eventually I gave up nursing to concentrate full time on my Kleeneze business and with the help and support of a fantastic team and family, I reached Gold Distributor within my first year.

Below is my cheque for July this year, with a lot of determination and effort Kleeneze does change your life for the better.
