Financial Resolution #1: Take Control of My Income

Kim Mez, 44, of Las Vegas, Nev. is a dietician and formerly worked in medical sales. Her most recent corporate position disappeared in January 2009 when the company restructured for a second time in one year.

“Doing sales for someone else left me with no customers and no commissions every time I had to make a change,” said Mez. “I chose to build my own business with Nu Skin because I won’t ever be laid off again. I determine how much money I make by how hard I work.”

Mez recognized Nu Skin as a solid company with innovative products in the booming anti-aging market and decided to build her own business. “I have a carpet commute, a flexible schedule and I get excellent sales support. I would never go back.”

Financial Resolution #2: Build for My Future

As a former bank executive and financial advisor, Jeff Schlenker, 42, from Spokane, Wash., understands the importance of planning for the future. He recognized that he was spending all his energy building a business that he had no long-term stake in and one that left him with little time for important family relationships.

After leaving his post, Schlenker had two traditional job offers on the table in December 2008, but instead chose to build his own business with Nu Skin because he saw the potential for a balanced lifestyle and financial freedom.

Schlenker also notices some unanticipated benefits from his new business. “The money intrigued me, but I quickly realized the value of personal development for me and my family. My wife and I build this business as a team and our children are learning the value of work and personal growth by watching us.”

Financial Resolution #3: Finance My Passion

Julie Jennings, 47, from Hermosa Beach, Calif. was a successful senior vice president for a software company when her position was displaced through a company acquisition. She went back to consulting on her own and, at the same time, began building a business with Nu Skin.

“Companies aren’t paying large consulting fees anymore. By starting a Nu Skin business I was able to supplement my income and am transitioning to building my Nu Skin business full time,” said Jennings. “I now get to work with people I know and love, including my own daughter.”

Perhaps most importantly, Jennings feels like she’s investing in things that really matter. “My husband and I have a vision for making the world a better place and through the Nu Skin opportunity we can see a time in the near future where we’ll have the flexibility and resources to pursue our own passions.”
