On the surface Barb is all class and confidence but once you get to know her you realize she is all heart. Barb took a moment to answer some questions for us about her self care journey.

Q: WHAT IS YOUR NIKKEN STORY?
A: I was introduced to Nikken 25 years ago by a friend while skiing in Colorado. Being a nurse, I laughed about it for a year. I did nothing. A year later, 24 years ago, I asked that friend to bring me information as I had a friend with a bad back. The article that got my attention talked about the earth being a large magnet & that humans, animals & plants would not survive without magnetic earth . I feel better outside & want to be outside, so this made sense . My husband fell & his knee was swollen, flew home & friend brought us 2 little magnets , the size of a silver dollar that We put it on either side of his knee and her knee brace and he went to work the next day. When he came home from work he had no swelling in that knee, so I knew that something was going on that was very good. I sent products to my dad in Canada and was able to help him have a better quality of life the last 8 years. Subsequently, I have helped my husband & many others & have embraced Nikken for past 24 years
Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NIKKEN CLIENT STORY?
A: I was referred to a person who was in renal failure and was looking at dialysis and or a transplant. With the Nikken technologies, specifically the water and sleep products, he went on to have a full recovery and lead a very productive life.
Q: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE NETWORK MARKETING?
A: I did not choose network marketing. Once I was introduced to Nikken and discovered network marketing, it was a natural way to share, build teams, earn extra income and help many.
Q. WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THE FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE?
A: Healthcare as we know it in our country, needs help. With the advent of electromagnetic fields and all the chronic diseases, the medical community will benefit from knowing more about helping the body help itself, utilizing nature’s resources and incorporating alternative means to health. Our healthcare system is very poor when it comes to prevention & is limited in solutions(medicines & surgery).
Q: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT YOUR NIKKEN BUSINESS?
A: I love the fact that I have access to leading edge technologies for me and my family. I love the ease of being able to embrace the products and share them to make a difference. The phenomenal people have been a huge piece for me, as I have learned so much & have another whole family of friends.

Healthy Finances w/ Gary Bolton

Gary on the Italy incentive trip.
This week’s Impetus is a synopsis of an interview with Diamond Nikken consultant Gary Bolton. Gary has a thriving Nikken business and is a great leader and mentor to us all. Much of Gary’s business focuses on digital marketing. This has been a very successful model for Gary and his many team members. Often, they lead the top retailer and top volume categories month to month. Many of us affectionately call Gary “The Professor” as a tribute to his knowledge and efforts in helping many of us share Nikken’s products, philosophy and business.
Here is Gary’s response to a few questions that Heather and posed to him recently.
Q.
What is your Nikken story?
I along with a couple of friends had decided to go to a local sports bar one Sunday to take in a game and enjoy a beer. We were having a great time, when something happened in the game that made my friend slap my shoulder. Normally that would not be a big deal but I had been having trouble with that shoulder for some time. I had been told by an Orthopedist that “I would never be without pain if I didn’t have an operation.” A Nikken distributor was in the bar and overheard my loud, unhappy outburst. She approached me and a conversation ensued. She asked for my card and we met for lunch the following week. She showed me a product explaining all the unique technologies. I laughed and told her I was very skeptical of her claims. She offered to lend me the product and would meet me a week later to retrieve it. If she hadn’t been so attractive, I do not believe I would have taken it home. I borrowed the product and took it home and had a tremendous product experience.
Q.
What is your favorite client story?
I did a presentation at a Gold’s gym. I did strength demonstrations with the Nikken PiMag water and our magnetic insoles during my presentation. I referenced a video by Curtis Bennett illustrating an increase in internal temperature of the feet using the insoles. A young man maybe 18 years old purchased a pair of insoles. About a year later I was in Walmart in the same town. I had noticed a group of people looking at me and I wondered why I was drawing their attention. When we passed in the aisle the elderly lady in the group grabbed, hugged, and was thanking me as she was crying. It turns out her husband, the grandfather of this young man was scheduled to have his foot amputated. They had used the insoles and credited them and me for avoiding the surgery and saving his foot.
Q.
What do you enjoy most about your Nikken business?
I love the freedom it provides me. Time is the most precious commodity we have. I can spend time as I see fit and not be a slave to an alarm clock or a regular job.
Q.
Why is the Nikken Wellness Home important?
The Wellness Home and all the other ideas and concepts it brings up will profoundly change the way you view taking care of yourself. The idea of reaching for a bottle of pills has become foreign to me. I believe the Wellness Home to be the very best strategy to live the concept of “Do no harm.”
Q.
What do you see in the future for your Nikken business via digital marketing?
I believe online marketing changes rapidly. What I did 10 years ago may not be as effective today. I am focusing on niche marketing web sites of one product, or a small group of products that target a well-defined audience. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of these niches we can market to.
Q.
What advice would you give to a new person just starting their Nikken business?
Do presentations to your warm market like your family and friends so you can learn. You will hear your sponsor when you do ABC’s and soon you will be repeating what you’ve heard. It’s important to do this prior to going online. There is this learning curve everyone goes through. Without going through this process you will not understand how powerful our product line is. Make a list! I think there are newer online ways to build your list that were not available when I started with Nikken. Whether you build a list offline or online, the advice is the same. Build a list and work the list.
Heather and I want to thank Gary Bolton for sharing his story, wisdom and guidance. Following his and other leaders’ advice is an important tool we can all use to help everyone be Healthy by Choice.
