Formerly overweight homemaker

Jean’s background certainly didn’t indicate tremendous success for the future.



Born in New York, she graduated from high school with a partial college scholarship but couldn’t attend because her family couldn’t pay the rest.



She decided to attend a business school but had barely begun when her father died – forcing her to quit and take a fulltime job.



She moved from one low paying job to another, eventually marrying and becoming a homemaker and mother of two.



She left the work place but devoted a lot of time to working with various organizations and charities.





And she kept gaining weight.



She had been overweight as a child.



She was overweight as an adult.



She tried everything to conquer her problem – diets, doctors, medications. Nothing worked long-term.



She was desperate to find a way to conquer her problem so she headed for the New York Health Obesity Clinic.



She was given a diet to follow but she fell right back into the cheating that always defeated her.



She kept her failures to herself.



The woman running the clinic had never been overweight.



“How could she understand the cheating of an overweight housewife,” Jean asked.



Desperate for someone to talk to, she invited 6 overweight friends to her house.



The first meeting was so helpful they decided to meet weekly to share their success and struggles.



The meeting kept growing as more women joined them.



Soon she was organizing meetings for hundreds of women – charging just 25 cents a week to cover costs.



And her weight kept coming off.



When she reached her personal goal she reached out to help her family.



Her husband lost 70 pounds. Her mother shed 57.



From her victory, and the victories of those she reached out to help, she began to realize this was bigger than just her original desire to lose weight.



On May 15, 1963, Weight Watchers was born.



From the living room of her small New York home,



Weight Watchers grew to an international business worth millions - that helped millions.



Jean Nidetch remained slim and became the spokeswoman for her exploding company, traveling all around the world – helping others change their lives the same way she did.



Her Success Secret?



She found a way to solve a problem of her own, then invited other people along on the journey.



I’ve had people tell me, “Karl, all the problems have been solved, and all the ideas for making money have been used.”



Hogwash!



As long as there is life there will be problems.



There will be ideas for success.



Your job is to get out of your tiny little “box” and start thinking and dreaming of solutions.



Her other Success Secret?



She never started out to become a millionaire.



She started out to solve her own problem.



Then she wanted to help others.



(Remember, she only charged 25 cents per meeting in the beginning.)



Her great success sprang from a desire to make a difference.



Think outside the box.



If you haven’t experienced the success you want, start paying attention and see where you can make a difference.



It’s there.



You just have to open your heart and mind to find it.



You are not too young to start making a difference.



This is your world, your life...claim it and make it fully yours.



What you will do is up to you!



The answer will probably surprise you, but that’s half the fun.
