I will be quite frank in saying, free training is out there,
but you will have to spend some money to get it going.
If you’re looking for a product to help you
lose weight and feel great, give Herbalife a try.
If they can do it there isn’t any reason why you can’t but you have got to be ready to be told how to sell products effectively and market and
promote your business.

The company does an excellent job on marketing it’s products and claim that their shakes taste like cake mix.
A mentor is someone who can take you done the correc paths to
success, Someone who’s made the mistakes.
