OJOTA DEPOT

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND?

My name is Mrs Patience Eziukwu, I am an Independent consultant at Healthgarde International with a rank of Senior Executive and Achiever.

HOW DID HEALTHGARDE COME ONTO YOUR RADAR, AND WHAT DREW YOU TO THE OPPORTUNITY?

I was introduced to Healthgarde / Swissgarde by Ngozi Eze, when I was selling fruits in the street of Lagos. She invited me to the seminar and I saw that it as a life changing business. I was told that it is about talking to people, I will make money and travel outside the country. I joined immediately because I like good things, I love making money and I also wanted to change my world; not depending on anyone. I hate begging. Although I am a quiet person by nature, I forced myself to talk because I saw the money in it.

WHAT STANDS OUT TO YOU ABOUT HEALTHGARDE’S PRODUCTS AND ITS COMPENSATION PLAN?

The Healthgarde products are very effective. The testimonies I get from end users are amazing. The one that made me to do this business with a passion is someone that had given up because of ovarian cyst, the family had also given up on her but the Healthgarde products restored her back to life and got rid of the cysts. I have registered so many consultants under me that are doing the business with me, courtesy of the products. The compensation plan is second to none. I sell, make profit margin, earn enroller bonus, fast start bonus, step level bonus and even leadership development bonus. All these will be paid to me as commission at the end of the month.

IN WHAT WAYS HAS YOUR PASSION INFLUENCED THE WAY YOU BUILD AND GROW YOUR HEALTHGARDE BUSINESS?

I am so passionate and it has given me more GSV, more recruits and at the end of the month I earn good money as commission. My passion has also helped me in qualifying for most of the incentives set by the company. The money I have made from Healthgarde has helped me to achieve my dreams and stand out as a complete woman.

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOUR HEALTHGARDE BUSINESS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS?

My future plan for my Healthgarde business is to take it to other areas that have not heard about Healthgarde. My plan is also to save and touch lives, I wantto incorporate Healthgarde into my retirement plan.

HOW DID IT FEEL TO BE THE ENTREPRENEUR OF THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER?

I felt so happy when I was called on zoom. The joy in my heart could not allow me to see the unmute button when I was asked to speak. I have been working hard believing that one day it will be my turn also October was my special month because it is the month I gave birth to all my children; I am glad.

WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO OTHER CONSULTANTS, BOTH OLD AND NEW?

My adviceto old and new consultants is don’tallow anyone to discourage you or wait for any approval to do something that will change your life and put food on your table. A lot of destinies have been destroyed because of seeking for approval and discouragement. Courtesy of Healthgarde, I have travelled outside the country several times. This is a business you do at your own time, you determines what you earn, you are working for no body so be focused.

WHAT ARE YOUR FINAL WORDS?

I thank mama Lovelyn CEO for bringing Healthgarde business and for the perseverance in tough times to make sure the business stands. Mama, my role model, may God bless you ma. I thank my COO for all her good work and taking the business to the International standard. I thank mama Christine, all the staff of Healthgarde International; you are the best. I thank all my team members, you will continue to soar higher; I am happy we are doing it today. To all the consultants, keep doing it right, you will surely get to the top. No matter the challenges on your way don’t give up.
