Whatever Happened to Watkins Products?

Whatever happened to Watkins Products?  This is a question I found myself asking my mother and father a few years ago.  Their answer . . . “I don’t know, the Watkins man hasn’t visited us for years.  We don’t even know who serves us now.” 

I’m now happy to say that my Mom and Dad don’t have to ask that question anymore.  For there very son, i.e., yours truly, has become their “Watkins man.”  But still, the question lingers.  Sometimes I will mention to a baby boomer that I have my own Watkins products business, and they’ll respond — “Watkins, whatever happened to Watkins products?”  I realize my comments were not heard, but the word “Watkins” was heard and it always brings back warm memories of yesterday.

But I still find myself in disbelief, realizing that although my Watkins territory covers all of North America, just as it does for 50,000 other Watkins associates, and although our company is now 10 times larger than the pool of 5,000 associates it had when it was purchased by Irwin Jacobs in 1978, I still run into people that haven’t heard of Watkins. 

And that my friends is a true goldmine.  To have the knowledge that I can sell 350 outstanding products and have so little competition is money in the bank.  Just the thought of knowing I represent a 140-year old firm that is still far away from saturating the North American marketplace with its great products, gives me tremendous faith in my ability to build a fortune with Watkins.

Sure, I still hold a full time job.  But my full-time job is to produce income I need to support my family and household.  My part-time Watkins income, which builds significantly each month, is used to build my fortune.  Imagine the power of that — to use your full-time job to build the income you need for living, while using your Watkins part-time business opportunity to build your fortune.

Thus, my answer to the question of “Whatever happened to Watkins products?” is usually as follows.  “Watkins is not as visible as it once was because it seldom markets door to door and we no longer run a fleet of 18-wheelers across America.  In fact, our sales have never been higher and our number of sales associates has never been greater (than they are today).  Watkins products is not only alive, well and kicking, but its now 140 years old, has strong management and leadership skills, and is no longer a small company.  Watkins has over 350 different products that are all outstanding in their own right.  “  Give several your consideration.

13 Magic Questions That Will Lead You Straight to Selling Watkins Products

Why You Should Join WatkinsIt never ceases to amaze me how people, old and young alike, are always looking for the next new fad or some revolutionary idea when it comes to making money.  It’s what my Dad refers to as “The next Big Deal.”  The old saying “You can’t see the forest for the trees”  always comes to mind when I see someone pass on the idea of joining Watkins.  They frequently use excuses like . . . ”Watkins has been around far too long, I’m looking for a startup company so I can get in on the ground floor,” . . .  ”I’m looking for something new and hip,” . . . “These are products I can buy at Walmart,” or “if Watkins is such a good deal, how come I’ve never heard about it?”

The thing that people who share this point of view often overlook is that Watkins must be doing something right to remain in business for 140 years.  What I try to point out to new prospects, even those that are skeptical about any company in the network marketing business, is the need to conduct their own due diligence.  After all, I would much rather see you joining Watkins because you became personally convinced Watkins is the right opportunity for you,  rather than relying on a strong sales pitch from me or someone else to convince you.  History has demonstrated over and over again that a person is much more likely to start a new business motivated with a sense of purpose, vigor, drive and determination that will carry them through to success if they were convinced it would work before they ever started.  

If you’re interested in joining a network marketing or direct sales company and are skeptical about representing Watkins or selling Watkins products, I offer you this same challenge.  Simply take the time to properly research and answer 13 simple questions.  I firmly believe that if you conduct the proper due diligence and research, it is virtually impossible for you to join any company other than Watkins.   The 13 questions I recommend you find answers to are as follows:

I can assure you that if you perform this due diligence exercise and answer each of the questions above correctly, you will cease looking for “the next Big Deal.”  You’ll easily conclude that the optimum home-based business choice for you is a Watkins products business, and you’ll gladly accept the opportunity to represent Watkins with tremendous pride and enthusiasm.  To prove this point I will dedicate my next few articles to providing you the correct answers to each of these questions.  Please check in daily for an update that provides more details and answers to each of the questions I’ve listed above.   If you’re in a hurry and want to begin your research now, find answers to all of these questions at http://www.123homeincome.com now.

P.S.  I’ll give you a hint when it comes to speeding up your research effort.  Review the final question in the list and narrow your search down to only companies that DO NOT use these tactics to be successful.  Any company that has to resort to these measures has issues and problems that will eventually take them under.  There is no hype when it comes to Watkins.  It may not be the next Big Deal, but it remains the Real Deal for you and me 140 years after its founding.

Need Extra Money to Pay Your Gasoline Bill?

monitor.gifIf you’re like most Americans, you’re fed up with high gasoline prices.  If you’re on a fixed income, whether retired or simply stuck in a 9-to-5 job with little hope of a raise that will cover increased living costs, you owe yourself a break. 

What kind of a break?  A break to learn about a way to not only solve your finanical problems, but to solve your freedom problems as well.  Nope, that’s not a misprint — I did use the term “freedom problems.”  For chances are high that you’re stuck in a job or career that is constantly preventing you from having the kind of freedom we all cherish and enjoy.  Freedom to spend more time with your family.  Freedom to take a vacation when you want to, not when its convenient to your employer.  Freedom to watch your children or grandchildren play every single ball game they ever play.  Freedom to be a stay-at-home mom and dad.  Freedom to drop everything on a moment’s notice and visit a dear friend in the hospital.  Most importantly, having the freedom to pick whatever time you want to do these things.  You can do this because a Watkins business will afford you the freedom to work when you want to work.

I want you to close your eyes and imagine a world that allows you the freedom to spend quality time with your children — all the time.  You can bet that if most parents had this type of freedom their children would have far less opportunity to go astray, far less chance of hanging around the wrong crowd and getting in trouble — ruining their futures forever. 

It is difficult to raise children in today’s world.  They are subjected to too many pressures that you and I never felt or came in contact when we were growing up.  The key solution to ensuring your children can beat the odds and grow up to become successful productive citizens with happy families of their own is to stay actively involved in their lives and know what they’re doing at all times.  A Watkins business can afford you the luxury and freedom of time to be very actively involved in your children’s lives. 

Lack of family unity is breaking down America.  It is happening, because unfortunately, we as adults have our own pressures.  It is simply more difficult to provide finanical support for our family these days.  In the typical American household, the high cost of food, fuel and general living expenses forces both the husband and wife to work full-time jobs to make ends meet.

Fortunately, there is a solution to the problems I am talking about.  It’s called  a Watkins home-based business.  It’s a business you can start today without breaking the bank or taking out a new loan.  In fact, you can start a Watkins business for as little as $39.  Once you start your new business, feed and nuture it with the same love and attention you do your household plants and it will blossom into an instrument of finanical and personal freedom.  Do this, and in just a few short weeks you won’t be fretting about the high cost of gasoline any longer.  It will amaze you how many Americans have been able to start out small and build part-time Watkins businesses into revenue bases that replaced their full-time jobs.

Beat the U.S. Economic Recession Starting a Part-Time Watkins Business

Credit SqueezeAre you and your family feeling the pinch of the escalating U.S. recession?  If not, you represent the minority, because consumers nationwide are showing signs of being squeezed by the economic crunch.   Who would have thought just 3 years ago that by 2008 we would be paying over $3 per gallon for gasoline month after month, and see the price of everything from eggs and milk to paper goods and beef shoot through the roof?  And if you live in rural America, where the cost of living is often even higher, the income levels are less and the prospects for new part-time or full-time job opportunities run scare to non-existent, chances are you’re feeling the stress greater than the average Joe.

How many nights have you come home from work to find your spouse worried about where the dollars are going to come from to pay overdue bills?  I have friends who live in the country that have a monthly energy bill far greater than my own.  Because they live in a rural area they’re having to drive more miles to and from work, they have 2 or more cars in the family and heat their home with propane, which has shot to $3.00 per gallon also.  Thus, in addition to having an annual gasoline bill of $5,000 to $6,000l, they also have an annual heating bill in the $2,700 to $3,000 range.  These are people with a household income before taxes in the $32,000 to $36,000 range.  They simply can’t make ends meet. 

Close your eyes for a few seconds and fast forward your life 2 years from now.  Keep your eyes closed and say out loud what you see in store for your family if your energy bills don’t go down and the costs of other consumer goods remain inflated?  It’s not a pretty picture is it?  

Chances are you’ve been putting your head in the sand like an ostrich, hoping these things will just magically go away.  Well, unless you’re a magician, a genie or a wizard – the solution to your woes is not going to be magic.   You may be avoiding things now, but deep down inside you know the real answer to your problems is that you just can’t continue sitting still and hoping that your problems will magically go away.  You must take the bull by the horn and do something to avoid a train wreck in your financial and emotional life.  For its inevitiable.  The train wreck is going to occur unless you can either (1) make sufficient reductions of all non-essential items in your budget, or (2) increase your income.

I know that if you’ve read this far, and you closed your eyes and thought about where you will be in two years, you have a question.  And I think I know what your question is, because I bet it’s the same one you have when you think about these issues every day.  It’s “What am I going to do to get myself out of this rut?”  Followed by . . . “I can’t ask my boss for a raise and there’s no jobs to be had around here.”  

Ta-daah!!!  Enter the solution I have for your life.  Why not create your own job?

What’s that you say?  Create my own job.  How do you expect me to do that? 

Well, if you’re serious about turning things around, I mean really turning them around, and you’re willing to put forth an effort and practice it regularly, I can offer an excellent solution for you.  But before I share it with you, close your eyes once again and fast forward your life 2 or 3 years down the road, but his time imagine you have an extra $500 to $1,500 per month coming in every month.  The power for you to do this rests smack-dab between your ears.  That’s right, its all about willpower, self-motivation and belief in yourself.  If you can manage these 3 attributes I can provide you a solution that will put you on the road to turning your financial and emotional life around.

A Super LifestyleThe simple answer and solution I propose to you is to make a leap of faith and start your own  Watkins business.  Think again about what another $500 to $1,500 per month would mean to your life and family?  I’m willing to bet that it’s the difference between a stress-filled life and a carefree lifestyle full of happiness and laughter.  Often times it can be the difference between a bad marriage and a good marriage, the difference between keeping a house and selling a house, between sending your kids to college or sending them to trade school, having a spouse that works or one that stays home with the children or playing golf at the public links versus having your own country club membership.

Why would I recommend a Watkins business?  There are many reasons, but let me share just a few with you now.  The beauty of a Watkins business is that it can be started on a small investment (less than the cost of a meal for 4).  You can built your Watkins business at your own pace, according to your own needs, and built it to almost any level of income you desire, if you put your heart into it.  If you work at it long enough, just a few hours per week, your Watkins-based income will continue to grow and eventually match or replace your current source of income if you work at it long enough.  You’ll be providing people you know, people you come to know and people you will come to meet online, with 350 fantastic products that American consumers in all walks of life use.  Consider what this great opportunity could do for you and your family.  Learn more about becoming a Watkins Associate by visiting a special Watkins business information center now.
