What Happened to the Bath Body and Home Cleaning Products

February 26, 2019

J.R Watkins Bath Body and Home Cleaning Products


If you have been looking for J.R Watkins Bath, Body and Home Cleaning Products, you may
have been having a hard time finding them. At the very least, you may have some confusion as there are now two companies that appear to be 'Watkins'. I will help clear up any confusion and help you find the products you are looking for.

J.R Watkins  and the Watkins Co.


Despite the name, these two companies are not the same company. The original company, now the Watkins Co, is the original company which originated in 1868. This company is now called The Watkins Co. and their website is Watkins1868.com.

In 2018, The Watkins Co. sold a portion of their business to Swanders Pace and they retained the rights to the J.R Watkins name.

The Watkins Co. - Products Offered


Products offered by the Watkins Co. are mainly the food line. However, if you shop through a consultant (either in person or on line) you can have access to the J.R Watkins products as well. You can shop here or look for a Watkins consultant in your area here.

Some of the products people have been looking for are:

J.R Watkins Body Wash, Soap, Lotion, Shampoo, Deodorant, All Purpose Cleaner,  Laundry Detergent, Toilet Cleaner, Tub & Tile, Window Cleaner


Which Watkins is the Home Business Opportunity


That would be the Watkins Co. They are the original company and still base their sales model on having consultants who sell the products in person and through online methods. To learn more about the Watkins Home Business opportunity click here...







As a Watkins consultant you have access to the Watkins Co., and J.R Watkins products as well as sell them to your customers. You get discounts on the products, access to special offers and of course, can earn income from your sales. Watkins consultants are free to sell at markets, in person, do home parties and sponsor others. You are allowed to sell the products online through the e-site given to you and can use social media to advertise and raise awareness about the Watkins products and business.

The business is flexible and has no autoshipments or quotas to maintain. Free shipping on orders of $100 or more. As of today's typing, the membership price is $29.95. Included are free websites, access to training as well as the discounts and contests including the chance to earn free vacations each year which include airfare and typically an all inclusive hotel at tropical destinations. You can contact me if you have any questions about the Watkins Home Business

Basically a FREE Way to Start Your Own Home Business

January 3, 2019

Have you been wanting to start your own business but unsure of the requirements, commitments and start up costs? Everyone also claims their business is the best or the sure fire business but let's be honest - it has to be right for you first!

I will let you know what is right for me, and has been for the last 12 years and you can decide if it's something that sounds good for you too! Let's begin:

J.R Watkins Products


Celebrating 150 years of top quality products and customer service, this business has been around literally since the horse and bugger! Sales reps used to travel farm to farm and take their orders. Customers knew the Watkins name and trusted their quality.

Today, we travel via the automobile or use the internet but the company is still offering the same great products and customer service it did 150 years ago. We also have new products too because keeping up with the changing times is what it is all about!

From kitchen items, to cleaning items, bath and body and natural medicinal - we have what you need!

The J.R Watkins Home Business


I have tried many other home businesses in the past -mostly because I wanted the discount on products I use! I have left every one of them because they just didn't cut it. Often they required me to have auto-shipments set up, or I had to make quotas or else I'd go inactive. Others cost too much in shipping and then there were the ones were the products eventually disappointed.

In twelve years with Watkins, I have never had to do auto-shipments or gone inactive because I did not make a certain amount each month. In these twelve years, Watkins has worked hard to give us FREE S&H on our orders of $100 or more and the products have increased in variety as well as ingredients being changed to make products healthier and more eco-friendly!

This business is flexible and has tons of training, information and assistance to work with your schedule. Perks like all expense paid vacations (incl airfare) are some great contests you can expect as well as others. (These are not 'impossible' trips either like other companies...I have earned at least 6 so far and it's really not that hard!)

How to Start with the Watkins Business


Signing up is easy and quick. I'll attach the link below - just follow the steps, sign up online and you will get your ID# right away! You can decide to do home parties or markets or trade shows, market online and direct customers from the USA and Canada to your free e-consultant shopping site and sponsor other people to build a team! The choice is yours and myself as well as my whole upline is here to help however we can.

Specials to Join Watkins




Oh, and before I forget, sometimes Watkins offers promos during the year. They could be on volume sold or sponsoring specials. Right now we have one of each!

The first promo that runs for all of 2019 is where you can earn up to $150 in Gift Certificates based on volume in your first two months!

In your first 10 days, order $150 or more and get a $10 Gift Certificate.

In month 1 or 2, reach Bronze consultant and earn an additional $40 Gift certificate!

In month 1 or 2 reach Silver Consultant and earn a $100 gift certificate! And yes, if you reach Silver consultant in your first month you will earn all 3 of these certificates at once!



The second promotion runs only until January 31, 2019 and you can get a 2 year membership for $59.90 and receive a $60 Gift certificate! (Regular 1 year membership is $29.95)  You still have the option to join for 1 year but you won't receive any gift certificates. Memberships never auto-renew so no worries about that, this is your business and you have the control!

If you have any questions - feel free to ask , I'm happy to help!

The J.R Watkins Home Business Opportunity


J.R Watkins originated in 1868 selling natural apothecary items. With the original salespeople known as "The Watkins Man", Watkins' products made their way from household to household across the U.S.A and Canada with door to door selling. The product line expanded over the years as has the methods of selling. (And of course, it's not just men doing the selling anymore either!)
J.R Watkins Products

Watkins now offers a variety of products including house and home natural care, natural body and personal care, spices and extracts and other goodies for the kitchen and of course, the health and wellness products like natural pain relieving liniments and salves. You can view the J.R Watkins products they have for sale here (will open in new window so you won't lose your place here!)

Not just door to door selling anymore either, you can do your Watkins business online, at markets, home parties or doing direct sales - it's a very flexible business with no autoshipments, no quotas and carries a satisfaction guarantee! Celebrating 150 years of successful business, J.R Watkins is a well-known and stable business.

How to Become a J.R Watkins Dealer?


It's really quite simple. You pay the membership fee which is $29.95 for the year and you are in! You get access to our training site and consultants on my team get free directory listings so customers can find them plus access to our group training page and support from  myself.

We don't have any autoshipments or quotas, we don't make you buy a bunch of stuff you don't want. I personally do not push or pressure anyone on my team to 'sell sell sell!' I'm here if you need help or have questions, otherwise, I encourage you to run your business your way and the way it best works into your lifestyle!

Saving up for Retirement: How Does Your Financial Future Look

July 25, 2017

Your Financial Future: Will You Have Enough Money to Retire?



If you are like most people, you wonder what will happen down the road for your retirement. Of course as we are younger we don't think much about it and not surprisingly, not many people put away for retirement to secure a comfortable lifestyle. As we get older, however, we begin to wonder if we will have enough money to retire and the scary truth sets in: Probably not. At least, not comfortably with peace of mind. There are ways to secure your future though and it's never to late to begin. One of the most popular ways is starting your own home business which not only gives you income now, but will continue to give you money even when  you retire!

How a Home Business Can Help Me Retire


A home business can be run a variety of ways and can be very flexible to work with you now and later when you retire. If you start now, you can earn income which you can put away into RRSP's or use to pay off bills, debts and mortgages sooner, freeing up your income for retirement.

It can also do so much more. Many home businesses are set up to reward you as your business grows - just like any company really. Whether you are doing trade shows or building a team or a combination of both, you can get your business to the point where you are receiving monthly commission cheques based on your sales and team sales.

Imagine for a moment,  if you were making $4,000 from your home business a month. (Keeping in  mind it will take you a few years to get your business established to reach this point but it is totally achievable.) Now, imagine your retirement years. While most people are taking money 'OUT' of the pot (their retirement fund) you won't even have to touch your retirement fund because you are still receiving income. Based on your lifestyle you may decide to take out of your retirement fund but realistically, at retirement age, with all bills/mortgage paid off, $4,000/month is pretty good income. it doesn't have to stop there of course, depending on your activities (ie doing markets or having others do them for you, having a large team etc) you could be making much more. I just wanted to give a number I know is realistic in a shorter time frame with dedication to a home business.

I Want to Retire and Not Work Much



Again, a totally reasonable goal to work towards. With a home business you can build a team that produces sales which you get paid on. Sure, you will still have to keep in touch with your team from time to time, or, if you are making enough income, you can hire someone to work the administration side of things. Leaving you plenty of time to relax and set your own schedule for the things you wish to do.

If you choose a home business that is flexible you can set it up how you wish and have all the freedom you desire with the perks to go with it.

Best Home Business to Secure My Financial Future


In my opinion, I would go with a J.R Watkins Home Business. Sure, I'm a bit biased as I've been an Indep. Consultant for 10+ years, but I've also tried other home businesses (some for fun, others to see if they make income, others just to get the discounts) and by far, I have found J.R Watkins the best one.

With J.R Watkins you have a very flexible business, no auto-shipment policy and freedom to market and sell in Canada and the USA. You can do trade shows, parties, direct sales and build a team. There are plenty of resources available for training as well. J.R Watkins has a wide range of quality everyday items that people 'need' vs 'want' which is important. They have been in business since 1868 (almost 150  years now) and have always treated their consultants good and fair. You can be confident in starting a business with J.R Watkins for the long-term.

I started my business with the goal of building a team, though I have also done trade shows and direct sales for immediate income. I have used the immediate income to pay off bills and debts, freeing up our other income to go into RRSP's  for the future. Then I worked on building a team which has enabled me to receive stable commission cheques that grow year after year in amounts. By the time I retire, which will be early retirement, I will have income coming in with a good size nest egg to draw upon should  I need to.

Why A Home Business Isn't Right For You

September 28, 2016

Why a Home Business Isn't Right For You


Here you are, looking for a home business to start up and you are taking the first correct step: Research! There are tons of opportunities out there but they vary in what they offer. Some have commitments, others have auto-shipments. Some reach a world-wide audience while others are more local. Before you even begin to look at the different types of home businesses though, you need to ask: Is a Home Business Even Right For Me? (A very important question indeed because if you find it isn't a good fit for you, then it doesn't matter what company you choose in the end!)

Home Business Requirement #1: Self-Starter and Motivator




Yes or no? Can you get this business started yourself and motivate yourself to keep going? No matter what the company sends you for 'tools' and support, it all falls on you to get this business up and running. So you are going to wake up in the morning, make your tea or coffee and then what? Will you sit down at the desk and begin your action plan on what your goals are and what methods you will take to reach them? With so many options to conduct and start your business (online, offline) you will need to have a plan and process of getting started. Or will you take your time getting started, play around on social media for awhile, chat with friends, sleep in a bit and start and stop your day at will? (If you agree with just taking your time and starting and stopping your day at will  without making any action plans, while staying in pyjamas all day, you can stop reading here...a home business is not right for you.)

A business is a business, regardless if it's one you start from scratch or one that is what is now called 'turn-key'. You still have to get a customer base and grow your business awareness in your community and target market. Just like any business, things will get tough once in awhile. They will go up and down and it can take awhile for your business to grow. Can you support yourself and drive yourself to keep going with the business, instead of giving up and blaming the business for being weak?

Home Business Requirement #2: Time and Money


When I speak with others who wish to start up their own business and their reasons for wanting to do so, it almost always comes down to either a.) Wanting more flexibility with their work schedule and/or b.) Wanting more money.

However, you also need to have the adequate time and money to put into the business in order for it to succeed. If you think you can just sign up for a home business and then everything will fall into place, you will be very disappointed.  Even if you work full-time, you can still put in some part-time hours in the evening or weekends to begin growing your business. From there, as the business grows, you should eventually find yourself able to rely on your home business for your full-time income.

You will also need to have enough money to get this business started. Depending on what methods you wish to do (online, offline, big trade shows or direct customer sales) your requirements will vary. You will at least need to have some catalogues from the company and business cards made up. Likely you will need to invest some money into getting some inventory.

Be honest with yourself - if you do not have the time to invest or the money to invest, your business will not work. It will peak here and there and eventually flop. You will be discouraged and once again, blame the business for failing. It is not the business though, it is lack of planning which is one of the main reasons most businesses fail. Planning now and being honest with yourself will help you ensure success!

Home Business Requirement #3: Interest

Ok, so you have made it through points 1 and 2. You have the self-starter attitude and motivation to get this business launched and to keep it going. You have the time to invest and the money to get it started and keep it growing. Now, ask yourself: "Do I like this product or service?  Can I stand behind it and support it 100%?"

Whoever heard of someone running a doggie daycare business who doesn't like dogs? Or a hairstylist who doesn't really care about hair? If you wanted to start your own bakery but really didn't like to bake or serve customers, how successful do you think you'd be? Sure you can hire someone to do the work but you are not going to have that kind of money right off the bat and even if you did, you are the brains behind the operation. You still need to have the plans for your future and be the one to motivate your staff. You can't do that if you don't believe in what you are representing.

So while you are looking for that home business to start, look for something that you believe in. Products or services that you would use and would be happy to tell others about.  I often hear people say they are willing to tell strangers about their business and the products but they don't want to harass their family and friends. How silly. If you believe in your products and think they are really good and beneficial, why wouldn't you want your family and friends to know? The products I sell are very good and useful. For example, a salve we sell (the Petro Carbo) is used for a variety of skin problems and even recommended by plastic surgeons to help speed up the healing process. If I had friends or family members who had dry cracked feet or a cut that could scar, why wouldn't I recommend they try this product? So be sure you are happy to represent this company and what they are offering.

Safe and Secure Home Business for Retirement

June 15, 2016

Safe and Secure Home Business for Retirement


Have you been giving much thought to your retirement lately? Most people don't have a plan for their retirement years and will not have enough money to properly retire on. Sometimes a lack of planning and lack of putting aside extra money each month, but other times, life events. Life events can be costly and take away the savings you had, or make it impossible to find extra money to put into a retirement plan.

However, it's not too late, no matter your age. You can still earn extra income to put into a retirement plan and earn extra income to help with day to day bills. Best of all, with a home business that is flexible to work with your schedule, you can build it up so it continues to grow and will continue to earn income for you.

J.R Watkins Home Business


I am going to speak of the J.R Watkins Home Business. I have been with the company as an Indep. Consultant for about 10 years now. I started slow, mostly to fulfill personal orders for my family. I decided to grow this business a few years ago once I realized it could be the retirement nest egg I never had a chance to build up.







A company that is solid, has survived depressions and recessions. It's flexible with no autoshipments or quotas to fill. It won't break your bank and offers top quality every day items that customers need and want. There is a market across Canada and the USA and it's yours for the taking! No territories to be confined to. Market online, do markets and booth sales, or home parties...it's all up to you! There are so many paths to success with this company, it will amaze you!

My Story


You see, I was a single mother for quite some time. Money was tight and I barely had enough money to buy a new pair of shoes to replace the worn out ones with holes in them, never mind put aside money for retirement! After going to college I did get a better job for sure, but I had a LOT of debt to pay off! It took years and years to pay off that debt. Again, I still didn't have much money to put aside for retirement, though, nearing my 40's...I knew I had to start doing something.

I started my Watkins business in 2007 and worked it a little bit. Not much. It was just...there. I opened an online store selling natural products and kept that going for six years, however, it cost me a lot of money. A shift in the online market made it harder to compete with bigger online stores and I tried to keep it going a couple years longer than I should have. Rather than make me money, the company lost me money and I decided to let it go in early 2015. I had recently become a holistic healer and decided I'd rather do that alongside my Watkins business.

My Successful Watkins Home Business


My team grew, my customers grew. I worked hard at my business and it paid off. Bringing in consistent income each month, something I can count on. My debts got paid off, I am now able to contribute to retirement savings but best of all, this business will continue even into my retirement years!

So while others will live on a budget once they retire, pulling a certain amount from their savings, I will be able to live off the income my business is still generating from me. I can modify my work week to work as often or as little as I need to.

Right now, I work 1-2 hours a day a few days a week. I'm still building my business and much of my time is helping others with their business. I have the luxury of balancing my home and work obligations. I can take as many holidays as I wish, spend time with the kids during summer and days off and take part in their activities more.

Free Vacations with Watkins


Another perk is Watkins Performance Program which offers a free trip for 1 or 2 each year (all paid). I have earned many of these trips and will be in line for going to the next one in 2017. It is a great week of fun and relaxation and a chance to meet others in the business including upline executives and people I've spoken to often during the year but never see in person.

One of the things people tell me as a reason why they'd like to  join Watkins is to make enough money to go on a holiday. Well, how about just earning that free trip and then still make the extra money to do with as you please? Sounds good to me!

Fastest Way to Make Money With J.R Watkins Business


I would have to say reaching that Manager level will start earning you the most income. Customer sales in general are the way to go for quickest income. So consider doing parties or better yet, booth sales (Summer is the perfect time for the markets!) and build a team slowly. Building a team helps you branch out a bit and create a solid and stable business. It will help you have a business that helps generate income when you want to focus more on retirement down the road.

Doing markets and customers sales will help you get the most commission on your sales and help you earn extra bonus income including share in a pool for new managers that qualifies you for up to $500 USD every month for 12 months! (On top of your regular commissions!)

There's quite a bit of money to be made with Watkins and since their products are top quality and trusted by customers everywhere, you know you will have an easy time selling them! Watkins is very flexible in letting you run the business as you see fit. There is a training site with valuable information and weekly webinars if you wish to participate plus help from me as your sponsor and the whole upline. There is a reason why Watkins is #1 and has lasted through tough times.

So don't waste your time looking for these 'new and upcoming' home businesses that have no history because they are more likely to fold and collapse. An open market sounds great but no history means it's harder to get the ball rolling and it's more likely the business will end up closing the doors. What sense does it make to put in thousands of dollars and hours/years into a business, only to have it shut it's doors one day. Poof. All your work - done. Even other companies that were well known shut down....they  just didn't have a solid plan to compensate for down markets.

Watkins is almost 150 years old now. Always paid their consultants. Always stayed in business. Always honored their money back policy if the customer wasn't happy. They are an honorable company and you can be confident with them when you join as a new consultant!

 

What You Get With Watkins


The signup fee is $19.95. Yes, just $19.95. No hidden fees. Catalogues are printed twice a year and you can buy a pack of 40 for around $22..that's 50 cents a piece. You don't have to buy anything you don't want to, though I usually stock popular items for quick sale..your choice! Orders over $100 have free S&H (Bonus!) and you get discounts on your own orders as well.

You get a free sponsoring website (see the one I mention below) plus a free listing on our team website so local customers can find you (top rated in Google). The team website is created and maintained by myself and offered only to those on my team and in my downline. 

Access to our training site and the weekly webinars. Tons of help whenever you need it and advice from top experts who are very successful with the path they have chosen, be it booth sales, sponsoring etc.

New Low Start Up Cost for Your Own Home Business

January 6, 2016

Start Your J.R Watkins Business for a New Low Price!



Last year J.R Watkins did a trial run on a new low sign up fee. The regular fee was $39.95 for the year. But, with so many people opting to sign up digitally in today's day and age, Watkins decided to lower that price for people who signed up electronically.

The logic is simple really, it costs less to enroll yourself than to go through Watkins and have one of their staff take your information and process everything.

How The Low Start Up Cost for Watkins Works


The only difference between the two methods of signing up is what you get in the mail. If you pay $39.95 and sign up through the phone you will get a packet in the mail with a welcome letter, a catalogue and some order forms.

Home Business to Make Extra Income: Tips From a Successful Entrepreneur

Home Business to Make Extra Income: Tips From a Successful Entrepreneur



Have you been wanting to earn some extra income but not sure how? Or maybe you are already looking at starting up your own home business but want to make sure it's a good one and not one that will bleed your bank account?

There are many considerations you should look over when deciding on what home business to start up. Yes, these 'Turn Key' businesses are pretty easy to sign up for and have everything included pretty much, but the success of the business rides on you and some other factors

Investment: Does the business require you to invest money and how much? Do you have autoships or need to meet a monthly quota?

Company History: BIG FACTOR! How long has the company been around? Will it survive? Sure, it's great to start with a new company where competition is low and you may be one of the only representatives in your area but you also have to consider that people have not heard of this company or product and may not be as eager to try it out. Plus, newer companies may not last long. The home based business industry is quite large but during the last couple of years and poor economic times, many home businesses closed their doors (some without notice) and consultants found themselves out in the cold. Some consultants invested decades with a company only to have it close it's doors and 'poof', business is gone.

Territory: Are you confined to a territory? Where can you sell and how big is your market?

Sales Mediums: Can you sell online and at trade shows or are you restricted to direct sales and/or parties? Do you have the option of building a team (or is it a requirement) or is the business model flexible to let you succeed without doing so?

There are many things to consider.

I have been an Independent J.R Watkins consultant for almost 10 years now. My business is very successful and manage a team of over 300 consultants in Canada and the USA currently. Some lessons I learned the hard way when I first started but one thing I did do right, was join up with a company that had a good company history, solid reputation and good quality product.

I'm happy to answer any questions you have. You can also feel free to listen to my interview from a couple of weeks ago. I'm always happy to help because starting up a home business is a BIG decision and if you don't consider everything in the beginning you can set yourself up to fail before you even begin. Not every business is built the same, so it's important to find the one you are comfortable with and have trust in so you can grow it and make it yours!

About Tamara Laschinsky, Indep Watkins Consultant & National Team Manager


I'm a Watkins Indep. Consultant and national team manager. I've been with Watkins since 2008 and
have over 200 consultants on my team from across Canada and the USA. I spend most of my time helping consultants like you make their business successful. I'm here to answer questions you may have, give you tips and advice and work on marketing strategies for both online and offline business development.

I have a degree in Business Administration with degrees in both E-Commerce and Marketing. I've self-published 3 books to date, own two other companies and LOVE what I do! My greatest pride is being able to help others build a business so they can reach their goals and dreams. Many consultants on my team are working towards early retirement and being able to leave their full time job so they can have a better work/life balance with their family. With a family of my own, I totally understand that and agree that we should have more freedom with our jobs. Watkins allows me that freedom and I'm more than happy to help you reach that freedom too! Visit my website now to learn more and sign up as a Watkins consultant today!

Why Have a Sponsor When You Join Our Business

If you are thinking of joining J.R Watkins and starting your own business you will want to have a sponsor. A sponsor is someone you can go to with questions and who can lend support to you when you need it. Below are some of the main reasons why you should have a sponsor when you join JR Watkins.

A Watkins Sponsor Can Help Coach You

This is your business and any helpful advice can really go a long way. Your sponsor should have quite a bit of experience and be able to answer your questions quickly and correctly. It is also good to have a sponsor who knows how to best manage a business, work with advertising and has ideas on the various methods of selling.

You also want a sponsor who isn't pushy or puts pressure on you to work outside of the pace you want for yourself. This is your business and a JR Watkins business is flexible in that it allows you to work at the hours that work for you.


A JR Watkins Sponsor Can Help You Advertise

Every Watkins consultant is on their own for advertising so if you can find a sponsor who can help you advertise and offer tips for advertising that's a great thing. Some sponsors have created their own 'team' websites where they list the consultants on their team so local customers can find them. Ask your sponsor if they offer something like this and if there is any charge for it.



Choosing a Sponsor

It's important you feel comfortable with your sponsor and have confidence in their ability to help you with your business. Feel free to ask a lot of questions and if your sponsor can't (or won't) answer them, feel free to keep looking for a good sponsor.

Your sponsor should be committed to the Watkins business and be available to help you. They should also be part of a strong team (having a good upline of managers) so that if you can't reach your sponsor you can reach someone in their upline.

Who Can Sponsor Other Consultants With a Watkins Business


Any Watkins consultant can sponsor someone else. This is why it's so important for you to choose the right sponsor for you and your goals. Many join under someone they have not researched properly and then are disappointed when that sponsor is not around to help them, nor are they part of a solid team so the new consultant is left with a tough start with their new business.

Tamara Laschinsky, Indep. Watkins Consultant & Sponsor #378193

I've been with Watkins since 2009. I have over 210 consultants as of today on my team, all across Canada and the USA. Some have joined to build a business, while others have joined simply to get discounts on their own personal purchases.

I am not pushy, nor do I try to make anyone do anything they don't want to do. I send out a team newsletter each month to keep everyone in the loop and I offer two other perks to those on my team:

  1. I run a website called www.GoGreenNorthAmerica.ca that lists consultants by Country and then Province/State so customers can find local Watkins consultants. This site is only available to my team and downline (so anyone you sponsor). It's free and ranks in the top spots of Google searches.
  2. The Advanced Training Program is another perk I offer to my team and downline. Again, it consists of a monthly newsletter and archive of past newsletters (accessible from our private Facebook group). The program focuses on specific training to help you grow your business including valuable tips on marketing, advertising, sponsoring, selling and more.
 I am also part of The Summit Group, which is a group that offers tons of training, webinars, resourceful information, contests and more. They also offer you a free sponsoring website that you can send prospects to (those looking to join the business.) Membership to The Summit Group is free to you and anyone you sponsor.

This is what I do - I am an Indep. Consultant with Watkins and I work on this and other things as my full-time business. I am committed to helping my team members grow their business and succeed. I have a great upline manager and she has a great upline manager as well. Both of them are always available to help you as well, should you ever be unable to reach me. Together we make up a strong team with the same purpose of helping consultants however we can.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at info@NaturalProductsOnline.ca. I'm here to help and answer any questions that you may have about the business. If you want to get started and sign up as a consultant with Watkins, you can go to their main website at www.JRWatkins.com. 

Click on Sign In/Create Account and then Join as a Consultant. If it doesn't show up automatically, enter in my ID#378193 as your sponsor and all of the other information on the form. Your enrollment will take about 1-2 business days and then you can expect an email from me welcoming you and giving you more information!

The Appeal of Owning Your Own Home Business

Have you ever thought of owning your own home business? Perhaps you've even tried to start one up before, only to find out some 'hidden' rules that hampered your success. If you have, you are not alone! Many individuals start up home businesses without fulling realizing what they are getting in to.

What is Good (the Pros) About Home Businesses Anyways?


There are many great perks to owning your own business, including having the freedom to create your schedule and balance your work/life schedule as you see fit. Many pros of owning your own home business also include:
  • Spending more time with family (great for stay at home parents)
  • Earning extra income for, or during your retirement
  • Earning extra income while on disability
  • Having freedom to come up with your own ideas and see the success of something you have done and worked hard for
  • Flexible schedule to accommodate for sick days, medical appointments and even having more than usual vacation days!
But what about the cons? Certainly there has to be a downside to having your own home business? You bet your bottom dollar there is! You need to be motivated and be able to motivate yourself when the going gets tough - and it will get tough from time to time. Nothing worth doing will come super easy in life! If you think you can sit back and rake in millions, please let me in on your secret because I'd love to know about that too!

What is Bad (the Cons) to Owning a Home Business?


Seriously though, there is hard work involved, just like any other business, home or otherwise. Some other cons are:
  • Setting up and sticking to a timetable/schedule. It's easy to go off track and while it's great to be flexible you can't get into 'lazy' mode!
  • Feeling inadequate. Face it, many people consider home-businesses not 'legit' and don't realize how much work goes into them. You will work harder than most people do who work for high-end jobs! Still, it takes awhile to get the business launched and stable (like any business) and you just need to ignore people who think you don't have a 'real job'. Especially if you are raising a family at the same time - now you are working even harder and most people will not understand that at all! (Trust me, I know!)
  • No steady paycheque. Hey, I'm being honest with you. You are not on salary. You are commission-based and you get what you put in. Some months are great, some may be slow. As your business grows you will certainly gain stability but you have to be realistic with your money and goals.
  • Here's a pro and a con - No one to answer to! It's great in one way but also, you are on your own. This doesn't mean you don't have anyone to ask for assistance, we'll get into that below! But being your own boss can be scary and if you have that reaction, you are totally human!

What Kind of Home Business Should You Choose to Start Up?


Now, I'm going to say J.R Watkins because I manage a team of over 210 consultants across North America, have been with the company over 5 years and LOVE the products and company itself. However, the real answer is:

Whatever business you believe in!

Do your research and find out all the answers to the questions you have so you can make a sound business decision. Questions you need to ask:
  • What is the investment cost to be a member/consultant etc
  • Are there any hidden costs/fees
  • Any min quotas or monthly sales requirements
  • Can you sell anywhere (online, at markets, do home parties)
  • Are you restricted to territories or where can you sell geographically
  • What kind of support do you have (upline support)
  • How long has this company been in business and do they have a good track record of paying commissions
  • What kind of revenue can you expect to make and in what timeframe

What Companies I Tried Out: Avon, Partylite & J.R Watkins

 When I was a stay at home Mom I was looking to make some extra income and something to keep me occupied when my child was sleeping. I had heard of Avon but didn't like that you had to buy catalogues (campaigns) every 2 weeks. So that was out. Plus I heard you had territories so that wasn't my cup of tea either.

I did join Partylite because I loved candles and smelly stuff and was super excited when a rep came to visit me and explain the program. A few things were left out when being explained to me but I still paid over $200 for the starter package and got my supplies. I took some orders from family & friends but was really dismayed when I found out I couldn't sell anything at our local market (Partylite rules). I was also upset when I was contacted by Partylite who told me I couldn't have a website with their stuff on it or facebook page since they weren't into the online presence thing yet. (not sure if this has changed but at the time I had to take down my personal website and facebook page). I also found out that if I didn't place an order every x amount of months I lost my status as a consultant and had to place an order totalling a certain amount in order to 'regain' my status and get my discount. So, that was the end of my Partylite career! Never ordered again.

I had also joined J.R Watkins at the time, mainly because my mom and her friends were looking for a consultant. I tell you, best thing I ever did! I ordered a little here and there at first but soon I had people who wanted to join up under me. That was fine, what questions they had for me that I didn't know my manager did and she's awesome! (As is her manager!) It didn't take long for me to create a website to post listings of all my teammates and to create a program to help them grow their businesses (My college degree in Business Administration: E-Commerce & Marketing certainly helped here!)

Over the next few months I reached manager status and my team continued to grow. Most of my business is done online since we aren't restricted by territories. I don't place many customer orders which is fine since Watkins doesn't have any min order requirements or monthly order requirements! Their start up cost is only $39.95, no need to buy any 'packages' which is great! I continue to work with my team and help those out who want it and I make a comfortable income doing so. The business is stable and reliable and best of all, allows me to work at home, allowing me flexibility with my schedule for the important things in my life!

 This is your business choice and one you need to be comfortable with. I say JOIN Watkins! Only because I know how well it works and how well known the products are, but you have to make your own choice and feel right about your decision.

If you want more information on the J.R Watkins business you can get it here....

You can also email me anytime if you have any business questions and I'll be totally 100% honest with you. My job besides being an J.R Watkins Indep Consultant & National Team Manager is to help others make smart business choices and coach them if they want it. This is what I do and I love it!

All the best!
