" 'Ask the Universe’, they say… In March, through watching a Ted Talk with Jacek Walkiewicz – a well-known Polish psychologist and author – I found Forever. He is the husband of Monika Walkiewicz (Poland’s no 1 Forever business owner), and it is through Jacek that I came across Monika and Forever. The products in health and wellness resonated with my healthy lifestyle, but I also saw the chance to help others as listening to my clients in the hair salon, I know their problems and was often already advising them. I was also impressed by the Marketing Plan and the possibility of working from literally anywhere, which could give me the freedom I am looking for."

"I had been a customer of Forever since 1996 and I knew the products were amazing but I never took the business opportunity seriously at all. Due to ill health, in 2005, I had to leave my job in retail management to take long term sick leave. When I started earning a bit more money again, I decided to get back into the products and I joined the business to get a discount.

I hadn’t realised but my years of talking to friends and family about the products, without trying to sell them, meant that so many people I knew were already interested in them. Over the years, people had seen for themselves what they had done for me so I ended up making £400 profit in my first month.

After a successful three months, I won a team incentive to go to the Head Office in Warwick for a training day and lunch. I didn’t plan on going because I wasn’t doing the business, but something kept telling me I should. When I got there, I was surprised at how down-to-earth everyone was and I thought maybe if they can do it, I can do it."

"It was 2016 and I had finished studying Agribusiness at University. My family and I were eking out a living on our farm. I was browsing through Facebook when I first came across the concept of Forever. I found that one of my cousins in South Africa was working their own Forever business, I was intrigued and started to use the toothgel as it was all I could afford at the time. I decided to start a business for myself, in a very small way. I would drive to South Africa to pick up products then drive back to Zimbabwe and sell them; mostly toothgels and the aloe drinking gel. From this very small start I had a feeling that the opportunity could develop into something that would transform my life. I didn’t quite know how I would do this; we were poor and I was in an unhealthy relationship that I knew I had to extract myself from, and that was going to be difficult."

“I had completed Forever’s C9 around four years ago and I felt great. I considered the business opportunity briefly but it just didn’t seem to be a fit for me at that time, in truth I probably didn’t give it much thought. Things change over time. A defining moment was when I had to choose between whether we would go on holiday, or have new carpets. I realised that I didn’t want to have to make these choices and to feel so limited, so when Esther reached out to me again about the opportunity I had a conversation with an open mind, and a real desire to make changes in our family finances."
