NEOLIFE Lifestyle PEOPLE
I earn as much from NeoLife as I would if I were still a teacher.”
Veronica says that she and her husband Larry joined NeoLife in 2002 because she had benefitted so greatly from the products. She used to be a Senior Primary teacher but hasn’t taught for more than 20 years.
“I earn as much from NeoLife as I would if I were still a teacher. I’m much happier not being in a classroom, and having freedom with how I use my time. It’s very important to me that I can earn my own income,” Veronica explains. “The income from being a Qualified Emerald Director with a large customer base was enough for me to become a stay-at-home mom for my two sons. Now, the income from NeoLife contributes towards my sons going to the University of Cape Town (UCT).” Working the business has helped the family buy their beautiful home, and helped Veronica buy herself a new car, so she could hand her old car down to her sons to use for varsity.
“I think that when you’re young, teaching is fun, but once you have your own children,
it’s good to have choices. For me, there was nothing more rewarding than being at home for my boys. It was also good that I had my own business to keep me busy and growing as a person. It certainly has encouraged me to keep up with the times, especially with my computer skills! This business has made me more positive and hopeful about the future.”
