Jen Groover, author of "What If? and Why Not?: How to Transform Your Fears Into Action and Start the Business of Your Dreams," filled viewers in on some of what she deems well-worthy of consideration.

She says making money and starting your own business in your spare time doesn't have to be daunting.
Groover explains that a turnkey company "is essentially a company that is already set up for you. The operations and the products are ready to go. You have all of the tools and technology at your fingertips, so essentially, you are given everything and just have to "turn the key" to get started. These companies are very low risk because you're working with brands that have been built over generations, so you already have the brand-value there which is one of the biggest concerns for a new business owner to create. You'll also get personal discounts on the product you're selling and, many have web support, education support and meetings with other people who are working with the organization who can help you learn and grow.
"They're really for anyone. Why I love all of the companies I'm going to talk about so much is because they can work for you and how well you do at them really depends upon the amount of time you want to put into them. You could start one of these businesses as a stay-at-home mom, but then it can turn into something that makes you a lot of money where you're doing it full time if you want to, building yourself a true business for decades to come. You could even start one of these companies as a hobby. People that go at these companies aggressively have built their own empires, hiring their own sales forces and are making good money.
Groover says there are three things every woman should consider before choosing a turnkey company:
No. 1, choose something you're passionate about. You can't sell something you don't believe in. Choose a company whose mission you believe in.
No. 2, know what it takes to get involved. For some, it's $25. For others, it might be $250. You really need to consider the costs.
Third, you really want to assess the tools that will be available to you that you feel you'll need to support you in getting things done.
Shaklee
The key thing to know about Shaklee is that it is the No. 1 natural nutrition company in the US and is focused on creating the most sustainable and effective whole health product on the planet. To get started, Shaklee offers a full kit of products for $600. They also have a less expensive kit at $300 (with slightly fewer products), but there's also the ability for new distributors to start for $40...but for that price they only receive business materials (no products). Under their compensation plan, people earn between 20-50 percent and have the ability to participate in a car payment program, trips and other cash bonuses.
Their sweet spot is women aged 35-45 that have come out of the workplace or want to come out of the workplace and create their own businesses.
These are people that have a passion for healthy living and understand that the things they put in, on and around their bodies make a difference in their long term health. Their key product categories include Healthy Nutrition (core and targeted health solutions), Healthy Weight (weight management), Healthy Home (natural non toxic cleaning products) and Healthy Beauty (personal care products).

We are unfortunately reaching the point of no-return with Obesity in America. In 1980, 35% of Americans were overweight to obese. By 2010, more than 65% of Americans range from overweight to obese. (Source: Behavorial Risk Factor Survelliance System, CDC).
