Shawn & Nicole Dahl, New Chairman's Club Members, Canada
Shawn Dahl knew early on what results he desired to achieve. Getting there was the only question. The Canadian settled into the real estate industry at age 21, and recalls, “The money was good, but the lifestyle was a grind.” After five years, Shawn began to develop his vision for his own future. “I was looking at where I wanted to be in five, 10, 20 years, and I realized I was going down the wrong path.” Upon meeting his wife Nicole, Shawn learned about the Herbalife opportunity from her parents who are President’s Team members, and saw the tremendous potential.
HOW THE RIGHT COMMITMENT BUILT THE BUSINESS
Understanding the great rewards of the Herbalife opportunity, Shawn made an unshakable commitment to a five-year plan based on hard work and “getting smarter” with every setback.
He would tell himself, “No matter what, I will not quit for five years. If I’m not making money in
three months, I won’t quit–I’ll just find a way to get smarter. If I’m not making money in six months, I won’t quit–I’ll get smarter. One year, two years, three years–whatever it takes.”
Shawn’s inner strength resulted in steadily growing checks, despite mounting challenges. For a few years, his organization expanded and contracted many times. “After two years of hard work, I was almost nowhere,” says Shawn, “but I pushed on. I held to the philosophy that the products are the same, the Marketing Plan is the same, everything’s the same–the only variable is me. If someone else could do it, then so could I.”
DUPLICATING WHAT WORKS BRINGS RESULTS
Shawn emphasizes the cornerstones of his business: urgency to get a lot done in a short period of time; momentum to keep it going; and camaraderie for support. “Momentum is the key to success,” Shawn says. “Once you have motivated people, do everything you can to keep them moving fast. Camaraderie keeps the group together and on track.” “Our business model is about duplication,” he goes on. “I looked upline and believed that if one person can crack five diamonds wide, it means they’re doing something worth duplicating; so we organized a recruiting and retailing system, then duplicated those methods.” In 2002, Shawn and Nicole made simultaneous cuts in both the Millionaire and President’s Team, and since then, they have
brought on one new President’s Team diamond each year. They now have eight President’s Team members in total.
SHARING WITH OTHERS IS THE GREATEST REWARD
Shawn and Nicole have 19-month-old twins–a boy and a girl–and feel very blessed in all aspects of life. “God has been very good to us, and we try to honor Him in our business and personal life.
We work hard, yes, but we believe our blessings are the result of an attitude of gratefulness and a focus on giving back. “What makes it all worthwhile,” Shawn continues, “is sharing good fortune with family and friends. That’s the whole reason you keep going after you make it to President’s Team. It is so fulfilling bringing up those you care about and watching them move into a life of abundance, so you can enjoy it together.” Shawn and Nicole have a newly built oceanfront home,
spend summers at their nearby lakeside mountain chalet, and enjoy traveling the world.
