Hello, We're
Jeanette and Connie

FROM THE BEGINNING, WE KNEW...

                                                                ...this was something special.

Let’s begin with a few tidbits about each of us personally:

JEANETTE CARTER:  Officially a senior citizen who has lots of life left to live and to give, who loves helping people get physically and financially healthy.

♦  Synonym: encourager, author, fisherman, accountant, gardener

♦  See also: wife, mom, grandma, great-grandma, and wearing various other hats from time to time

  • About me:  Hi!  I’m obviously the Mom half of the team!  First I must share about my beautiful family.  I am the oldest of 4 children.  I am married to Jerry and between us, we have 4 children, 12 grands, and 11 greats.  Abundantly blessed.
    • A little about my education and training:  My degree is in Accounting and Business.  Further training has included certification as a Health Coach (PHC), certification as a Grief Recovery Specialist (CGRS), and a Certified Wellness Educator (CWE).
    • One of my most enjoyable things to check off my bucket list was getting to co-author a book with some of my fellow PHC’s, entitled “Emotional Stimulus Package – Your Guide to Re-Creating the American Dream”.
    • In my recreational time, I enjoy fishing – which I’m not very good at, but I love it. The beautiful outdoors is “good medicine” to me.  I’d like to travel more, especially to see more of this great country of ours, like all of our national parks and other beauty all around us.
    • My professional experience included 20+ years in Information Systems in a variety of positions including Systems Analyst, Programming Manager, Systems Auditor, etc.
  • So how did I get into the wellness business?  I’ve always been interested in and committed to learning about how our amazing bodies work and I was raised in a home where we grew most of our own food and made almost all of our meals from scratch.  
    • After getting married at a young age and starting my own family, we lived in town instead of the country, and didn’t have as much access to all the healthy things I had grown up with. 
    • I decided we needed to take vitamins to supplement what was missing in our diets.  
    • What I didn’t realize at the time was the vast differences in all the many ‘vitamins’ on the market. I wasn’t able to tell a difference by taking them, but I took them faithfully anyway.  
    • Then, thanks to my daughter, I was introduced to Shaklee products and very quickly was able to tell a difference! 
    • But at the time, I had NO interest in taking on anything else since I was already working very long hours at my job.  However, the more I learned about the Shaklee Company and their commitment to quality and safety, the more I knew I had to share it with others.  
    • I didn’t start out to build a business with it, but doing it very part time, I was amazed at how quickly it grew.  
    • That was in 1994 and I haven’t wavered in my belief in the company or the products. 
    • In fact, it continues to grow stronger and stronger every year.  
    • We have an awesome gift to share with the world and I’m committed to share it with those who are looking for a safe, effective way to change their lives with the Shaklee products, and if they are interested, I love to help them build their own business helping others feel better! 

CONNIE WEDDELL:  An auburn-haired (most days) entrepreneur with a passion for training smart, authentic people.  

♦  Synonym: storyteller, speaker, author, motorcycle-driving dropout (But hey… I earned the title of ‘most improved’ in the class!)

♦  See also: wife, daughter, mom of 2 and nana to 6, inspirational cheerleader, 1995 beauty pageant winner.

  • About me:  What began as a simple purchase of the protein and Vitalea at a Tupperware party back in 1994, turned into a life that would forever be changed... because within a week, my health improved dramatically!  No longer was I collapsing to take a nap every day after work. 
    • After taking 2 scoops of the protein and 2 Vitalea a day for only a week I was waking up in the morning and immediately getting out of bed!  Just like that!  My eyes would literally open… and then my feet would be on the floor – ready to start the day!  What a change in such a short period of time!
    • I couldn’t help but tell mom and send her some of my new-found goodies and within a very short time, she was feeling better too!  That’s been years ago and I’ve had so many personal testimonies about the products since then!
