Success Stories – Lauren and Lindsey Kovac
Sister act Lauren and Lindsey Kovac (FastTRACK Directors, IN) were looking to get out of the corporate grind and into careers they could be excited about when a late night note led them to consider Shaklee. Check out their story!
In November 2015, we were both working corporate jobs but neither of us was happy. We were working overtime with no rewards, acknowledgement or down time…and we had very little passion for what we were doing. When Lauren got engaged, she decided she didn’t want to be drained with working an 8-5 while trying to plan and enjoy her wedding season. And I was tired of working non-stop with very little vacation time or freedom. We needed to find a way to become financially independent, but in this economy that was going to be hard to find.
Lauren had been experiencing extreme insomnia since around July. She was on strong sleeping medications which caused her to do random things during the night. She woke up one morning to find a note she hadn’t remembered writing from the night before…it simply said ‘research Shaklee.’ Our family has been taking Shaklee products for years, but we had no idea about the opportunity behind the business. We had been following the success of our friend Kara Sears (Coordinator, IN) and decided to contact her about Shaklee…we had nothing to lose.
We called on Monday, November 1st and asked her what Shaklee was all about and she mentioned the EXCITE training in Chicago that weekend and told us the ticket price was going up that day. So before we had learned anything about it, we signed up to attend the seminar. We spent that week asking every question imaginable.
That Saturday we attended the EXCITE training and decided this was the opportunity we had been looking and praying for. The following Monday, we signed up to start our Shaklee journey…just one week after Lauren wrote that random note. The thing that attracted us to Shaklee was that we could be healthier and help others with their own goals. We loved that we could build a business helping others get healthy as well as help others to grow their own business and change their lives!
We have had challenges and victories along our journey so far, but all of it has been rewarding and we’re having fun. We now realize that when you set your mind to it, you can achieve ANYTHING! We made FastTRACK Directors in February and we are building an incredible team. Our next goal is to help our team members reach Director in the next few months and also invite new team members to join us in building their own businesses. We know that the sky is the limit for us because we are determined and have a great supportive team behind us!
