I remember when…
This is my new motto. I can’t imagine where I would be if I would have kept that “I know it all” mentality.
I remember a year and a half ago when I thought supplements were totally unnecessary, multi level marketing was a pyramid scam (even though I had no idea what that meant), people just wanted to make money off of me, I didn’t have time to start another business and I could never do “sales”. I had dabbled with two companies like this before and I didn’t have success.
Amazing what can change in such a short period of time. Here’s what happened. I opened my mind to trying the products because I wasn’t recovering well and I didn’t have a lot of energy. I thought they were really expensive but was pretty desperate for some help. Never in a million years did I think I would do the business. The products made me feel awesome. My hair stopped falling out, my nails got stronger, and my skin was more radiant. I had more time because I was preparing two less meals a day and replacing them with shakes that kept me full and that I looked forward to drinking. Suddenly, the products didn’t seem so expensive to me anymore. Why would I keep something like that to myself? So, I shared. Not really caring about the money I could make.
What happened next? People I loved were getting off of medications. People I had never met were losing weight and feeling amazing again. Health issues were going away. Husbands and wives were getting their marriages back because they finally felt good about themselves. Guess what? It clicked. I had always wanted to help more people but I was limited by how many I could help as a trainer. You can only work so many hours in a day. Instead of only being able to help my 30 clients, I was now helping people all over the world… and getting paid to do it.
I had found a company that offered a product that people would WANT to buy every month. I found a company that had a more than generous compensation plan. People have to eat and people need to be healthy. Our food is lacking nutrients and our stores are lacking good options. People are struggling to make ends meet, working long hours, and sacrificing their health. I found a company that offered a solution for all of those things.
So, running a full time personal training business, going to school full time, training for a fitness competition, having my husband deploy, I decided to pursue the business. As if I didn’t have enough going on. I didn’t look at it like work. I loved helping people choose the right products and coaching them. I loved talking to people about their goals. I loved getting emails about people’s awesome results. It was the most rewarding thing I had ever done so I chose to fit it in when I could.
Being shy I pushed myself to meet new people. My personal growth sky rocketed. I started to have a more positive outlook on life. I would go to bed excited and jump out of bed excited to start my day. I went to events where I made life-long friends. I listened to some of the best speakers in the world talk and soaked it all in. I started REALLY believing in myself and my ability to do whatever I set my mind to. I started surrounding myself with people who had the same goals as me and with people who had the success I wanted out of life. Everything changed. It went far deeper than taking products or making money.
I have the most incredible team that I have built and choose to work with. My team has had amazing results in their health. Now that I have a team built I have had the awesome pleasure of helping people not only improve their health but also their financial status. To help people do both those things is truly rewarding.
Everything about these products and this company is more than I ever expected and far from what my initial thoughts and attitude was. It’s a shame that there are so many other companies out there that don’t have the integrity, the quality of products, or the compensation plan that this company has. It’s a shame there are so many other companies out there that did people wrong and now give awesome companies like this a bad image.
Every time I hear someone say they are so miserable with their bodies and they have all these medical conditions I am just bursting with joy because I know I have a solution for them. Not because I can make money off of them, but because I have seen what the products have done in my body and other people as well. I know how powerful good nutrition is. I can see what their future could look like. Sadly many people can’t. At the same time when people say they can’t afford the products or they tell me stories of how much they hate their jobs I just want to do everything I can to make them see how it doesn’t have to be like that. It breaks my heart to hear that a mom who has a son with cancer can’t be with her son because she has to work to pay the medical bills. Or, the dad who is working 60 hours and has a new born baby girl and he’s missing everything just to make ends meet. My life has been so fulfilled because of this company. I’ve got time with my son now. I have doubled my income. I can work from anywhere. When my dad had a heart attack I was able to take almost a month off to be with him and not suffer financially. When my sister in law passed away I was able to get up and leave and not worry about a thing. I wish I could make people see that life doesn’t have to be so miserable. That people can be free. That you can do something you love and help so many other people. That it’s not a scam, or a pyramid, or a way for me to get rich off of you. It’s freedom. It’s living your life how you want to live it and feeling like your life has a greater purpose.
Funny how much can change when you just open up your mind a little bit… I’m forever grateful that I did.
