Your health dictates your outlook on life. When you feel good, you're able to enjoy an active life style. However, factors such as processed foods, mineral-depleted soil and hectic schedules, make it difficult for you to obtain the nutrition needed for good health.
Nutritional Supplements
For many, the solution is taking nutritional supplements. But separating nutrition truths from myths is not easy. And knowing what, and how much, to take can be very confusing.

Conklin Success Stories
Merging Two Businesses Together
Judy and Ivan Dardar
East Central Illinois is Amish territory. And unlike the stereotype, the horse-and-buggy Amish community there, as well as the other hundreds of bucolic Amish communities throughout the country, reaches out to its non-Amish neighbors which they affectionately call the ‘English.’
In fact, one particular ‘English’ family, Judy and Ivan Dardar, have earned the trust of and developed strong friendships with their Amish neighbors both professionally and personally.
For the past eight years, the Dardars have built a local passenger transit empire serving the Amish’s travel needs through extensive word-of-mouth. Operating a transportation business coupled with building their Conklin business dovetails nicely for the Dardars. For the past year as Independent Business Owners (IBOs), they are attending more and more Conklin trainings themselves while escorting their prospects and IBOs from their front doors right into Conklin’s meeting rooms.
It wasn’t until Judy and Ivan transported a vanloadof Amish IBOs to last year’s National Convention in Louisville and attended themselves that they were convinced to start their own Conklin business. “We were so energized at National Convention. We knew we were in the right place, connected to a great company in which to build a great future,” says Ivan.
Judy and Ivan have become one of Conklin’s most dynamic new IBO teams, quickly achieving Sales Manager status. Judy won’t leave a Conklin training without depositing at least a dozen testimonials on the meeting registration desk. She’s also one of the most prolific storytellers wherever she goes.
The Dardars are constantly talking about Conklin products and trainings to friends and acquaintances, encouraging them to “hop on board” one of their passenger vans or motor homes free of charge any time they want to attend Conklin trainings with them.
Judy describes how Conklin has changed Ivan’s life: “I’m so proud of Ivan. He’s ordinarily such a quiet guy who keeps to himself. But now, when he’s driving the vans or ate talking about Conklin. It delights him. He lights up like a Christmas tree and comes right out of his shell.”
The Dardars feel like they earned multiple college degrees each time they “graduate” from a Conklin training. In addition to the Conklin Business Seminar (general foundational training) and National Convention, they’ve attended trainings for Fastrack® and Vehicle Products.
“The knowledge of the products we’ve acquired at Conklin is invaluable,” says Judy. “When we leave the trainings, we feel like we’ve sat through a lesson from an accredited institution of higher learning. Imparting this knowledge to our customers lends so much to our credibility as business owners.”
Conklin trainings have also enriched the Dardar’s lives by providing fellowship. Judy and Ivan explain: “There’s never a time when we don’t walk away with at least half-a-dozen ‘friends for life’ who we not only admire, but are delighted to spend time with socially.”
The Dardar’s current goal is to build a large Conklin organization. They are already well on their way, holding joint monthly meetings with Annie Otto and her son Rudy, both Directors. The Otto’s nearby canvas shop or their ice cream and coffee house provide ideal meeting spaces to hold Conklin meetings.
“The Dardars lend so much to our monthly meetings,” says Annie. “Their enthusiasm and knowledge about the products, especially Vehicle Products, Fastrack and Cleaners, are invaluable. They always have prospects attending. They are a great example of a Conklin business builder team making all the right moves.”
Judy and Ivan make an ideal team for their passenger transit and Conklin businesses. Judy mans the phones, sets the appointments and cleans out the vans while Ivan does the driving and maintains the entire fleet. For their Conklin business, Judy brings in the prospects while Ivan lends his technical expertise to product awareness and training.
As more Amish actively operate Conklin businesses, their need for rides to Conklin corporate-sponsored trainings is greater than ever before. And because their families are so large, it doesn’t take long to fill up a van.
“For most Amish, driving your own motorized vehicle is not permitted,” explains Ivan. “But they need to travel long distances for business and personal reasons. That’s where our transportation business fills the gap.”
Because Ivan has a ‘captive audience’ whenever he drives the motor home cross-country, he exposes his passengers to Conklin through product displays in an exhibit area and unleashes his newfound passion by telling the wonders of Conklin products to any passengers that want to listen.
Ivan and Judy weren’t always the crackerjack marketers and savvy chauffeurs they are today. Ivan, a former shrimper and native of southern Louisiana, and Judy, a former native of midcentral Illinois, met in New Orleans. After their marriage, they returned to the Midwest to raise Paint horses and Labrador Retrievers.
They revved up their transportation business to a sizeable fleet of vans, a motor home and four drivers while raising three sons, one daughter and many litters of Labrador pups. They are now enjoying a passel of grandkids.
The Dardar’s Conklin business is an ideal fit for them. In one short year, they are demonstrating just how easy and lucrative it is to weave Conklin into their working and private lives. They are driving straight for success.
