For many years I struggled with what I wanted to do with my life....in and out, searching, fighting, struggling trying to find that "THING" that made me happy and gave me FREEDOM! I got an expensive Bachelor's degree in Journalism from LIU in Brooklyn (of which I'm still paying for, but that wont be for long). Soon after graduation, I started working in television with a twinkle in my eye. At the time, I thought getting the opportunity to work in my chosen field was a DREAM! After 3 years of going through what felt like wearing 1000 pound weights on my ankles, I made the wise decision to gently back out of that lions mouth.
I soon got into the mortgage industry eagerly awaiting my riches because everyone was hauling in high six figure incomes. The thought of controlling my own time and income (two very important components in my life) was invigorating! However, my enthusiasm was quickly extinguished when I learned the tricks of the trade in the mortgage industry. Lets just suffice to say that I didn't haul in the truck loads of money like most people did because I wasn't willing to financially rape people. I'm still in touch with the mortgage industry for the purpose of future purchases for myself, friends and family but I've slowly backed out of yet another lion's mouth.
Almost 2 years ago, Network marketing emerged into my life. I've always admired the industry but wasn't sure how to work it. It brought another level of experimentation and excitement, but this time "cautious" excitement. I got into the energy business of which I've built to a point of being on automatic pilot and collecting a monthly residual income.
Then....earlier this year a friend of mine called me regarding another business opportunity. Truthfully, when he called me, I just blew him off. I was at a turning point in my life and I didn't want to do or try anything else (what was I thinking!). Thankfully he didn't give up on me! He sent my husband and I some coffee in the mail. The day it arrived, I was suffering from bronchitis and I was taking a steroid and some other medication. I was on meds for days and my cough was still intense. When we got the coffee I decided to try it immediately because of my friend's excitement. Prior to drinking the coffee I was feeling horrible and laying around. About 40 minutes later after drinking my cup of latte my husband brought to my attention that I was no longer coughing. I was like "OMG! You're right!" I was feeling so good that I didn't even realize that the coffee had stopped my cough. That was the first time in days that I had felt some relief! I went to the computer and started researching the herb "ganoderma" (which is in all of our products) and was blown away by what I found. I called my friend, got in the business and we haven't looked back since...I'm grateful to my friend OG National Consultant Brett Shoemaker of Houston Texas.
In the beginning of doing this business, we met many obstacles...namely negative people. I wont lie and say that for a moment it didn't slow down our business a bit, however, we never quit, but at times we found ourselves frustrated and annoyed with the skepticism. I recently came across a quote that said "sometimes success comes in the form of misfortune and defeat!" When you live in a cynical world, a world where so many people have consciously decided to live unconsciously it can be quite difficult reaching people.
Thankfully, through the support and training I've received over the years and in my company, I have decided to nurture the perseverance, determination and success within me. I'm no longer sitting by and watching the ships sailing away without me. My passions are outweighing my fears and I've decided that those that are negative is just unenlightened, so I don't hold anything against those individuals. Even more importantly, I have realized that success lives within me and it's my birthright to live the most opulent life possible. I have found the most profound revelation in my life and I can truly say that finally...I GET IT!
I know my road ahead isn't going to be easy, but my eyes have been opened and my brain is being fine tuned...as the saying goes "seek and ye shall find!" It's amazing how life unfolds in your favor when you realize success is within your reach and you simply reach out and grab it.
What Am I doing now? Healthy coffee! I'm helping people to change their lives, mind-set and health all in one shot...what a privilege. I've learned that It's not what you do in life, but the lives you touch along the way. We are taking people along with us and if you want to get on board, we are happy to have you, if not, it's ok, you can sit and watch us as we happily sail away into the sunset.
