• There has never been a better time to start your own business. American jobs are going overseas and the economy is faltering.

• Health crisis is escalating. The health and wellness industry is booming and is expected to reach a trillion dollars in less than 5 years

• It is estimated retired couples will spend over $200,000 out-of-pocket for health care expenses.

• Baby Boomers are looking for a way to achieve health. For those in the health and wellness industry there is a huge opportunity to help others and to grow a successful business.

• The average American family carries over $10,000 in credit card debt making it necessary to seek a source of extra income.

• One of the many advantages of owning your own business is being eligible to receive tax breaks.
  

• Over 80% of those who are looking for a home-based business are women. Like myself many women leave a career and/or school in order to start a family. Many times once the kids are older moms look for a career with the flexibility of being able to work from home. If you start a health based business you are learning and growing and developing an interesting career at the same time you are helping to bring money into the household.

My husband and I have a dream for our family. Our dream is to run our own business. To spend more time with family and less time stuck in traffic commuting to and from work. So many of us dream of finding that successful opportunity that will allow us to work from home to be with our families but also make enough money to be able to pay the bills. With all the home-based business opportunities that are available it can be a challenge to find what would be the best choice.

When my husband and I made the decision for me to stay at home with our daughters it was important to me to find a business that I could do from home that I really enjoyed doing.

• NSP is an inexpensive business. In order to get started I paid $40 worth of products for wholesale cost in order to receive a free 1-year membership. Once I achieved manager status 4 months after starting my business the yearly $40 renewal fee was waived.

• I really liked the fact that with this business I could work as much as I wanted or as little depending on how fast I wanted to grow my own business. This allows me the flexibility I need being a home schooling mom of two young children.

• I was very impressed with the quality and effectiveness of the products and with the reputation and the level of customer service of the Nature's Sunshine company. I can honestly say since I began placing monthly orders with NSP over 8 years ago they have never gotten my order wrong. That is impressive!

• NSP offers over 600 pharmaceutical grade natural and organic products. This allows my clients to have a wide variety of options which is definitely an added incentive to sign-up as a customer. The fact that customers can purchase these high quality products for wholesale has ensured my business receives residual income. Everyone loves to save money! Having my Nature's Sunshine business is truly like having my own brick and mortar herb shop without having to keep inventory or pay overhead costs. For my members who build their own NSP business this wide variety of options also gives distributors a lot of options depending on each individual personality in how they can grow their own business. The possibilities are endless!

• With all the products NSP offers it isn't necessary to know all about all the products. I have many distributors who choose to focus on certain products such as Super Trio or Thai Go in order to build their business.

• I mainly use the Internet to market my NSP business and have clients and distributors all over the United States and in Canada. This has afforded our business unlimited earning potential.

• After researching different companies and compensation plans I was very impressed with the benefits and earning potential. NSP pays over half of every dollar they make back to their members and distributors in earnings and other benefits.

Since becoming NSP members over 8 years ago and starting our NSP business in 2006 we have been very blessed to see our health and the health of our family improve as well as being able to help our clients to achieve their health goals. We have loved being able to help our distributors to grow their own NSP business. Nature's Sunshine has enabled us to achieve our dream. The Nature For Life website offers a wealth of information on getting started in the Nature's Sunshine business if you would like to learn more about starting your own health and wellness business as a Nature's Sunshine distributor.
