Looking for Creative Individuals Set on Defining Their Future

August 16, 2018

Creative, Motivated, Independent?

If this is you, I am looking for you! I am looking for individuals who are set on defining their own future. For those who want to be their own boss and be responsible for their own successes in life. I am looking for entrepreneurs who aren't afraid to work for themselves and who can see the vision of having excellent work/life balance!

Who I Am

I am Tamara Laschinsky, Indep. Watkins Silver Manager among other titles. I have been self-employed for over a decade now and absolutley LOVE it! I've been with Watkins that whole time and seriously can't say enough good about the company! Stable, secure, celebrating their 150th birthday this year...they are amazing!

I've owned other businesses too along the way, mainly because I am interested in so many things and love learning new skills all the time! I'm a web designer, graphic designer, marketing agent, author, magazine publisher, Reiki business owner, holistic healer, mother, adventurer and more!

What is Watkins

Watkins is a company that started in 1868, with natural medicinal products and top quality extracts and spices. It has grown over the years and while it still has many of it's original products, it now offers a variety of everyday household items at great prices.

There are operations out of the USA and Canada so your orders are shipped within the country the order originates from. The business is very flexible with no autoshipments or quotas and has perks like free all expenses paid vacations (including airfare!). People from all wakes of life join Watkins. Whether it's for their own personal discounts or retirement plans or some extra cash on the side, there is something for everyone!

Who You Are

You are Independent. You are a self-starter. You are motivated and curious! Just like any business, to be an entrepreneur you have to have vision and set your goals, re-defining them along the way. You have to work at it, being successful won't come overnight and certainly won't come without some work!

You can do this business so many ways: Selling directly, doing parties or markets, sponsoring etc. One of the biggest trends is social media so if you are good with social media or interested in learning - this is a great place to start! Online is mostly how I work and I do graphics up for my team to use. I have a website directory just for my team and I am always promoting our team to help customers and prospects find you!

So if you are curious, if you have been wondering 'what else can I do?'..give this a thought!

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.
