Why I do what I do.

As Distributors who are a part of Herbalife on the business side, we attend trainings monthly.  We hone our skills, we work to become better coaches, better people, better servants.  All roads in training lead to Extravaganza, our major country-wide event training.  I have been to 10 throughout my career and they get better and better, I always learn, but this year I was really affected in a different way.  I shared with my customers, members, distributors, old and new, in an email I sent to each of them.   I am sharing here, because this is a commitment to my new customers, members and Distributors in the future as well.

I am going to be completely open here for a few reasons:

1. I always try to be
2. I feel as a coach helping people with very personal issues they deserve it,
3. If I can help just one person in their journey I feel like I made a difference in this life.

4. I don't always get it right, no matter how hard i try and I have to be okay with that, grow and move forward.

My goal this month and throughout the end of the year is to really focus on the goals of others. I was asked during our national conference in Vegas "Why is it you do Herbalife?  If your have been in for years and income has been up and down, why are you here?  It can't be the money, because it has not always been there, you walked away from a serious income and now you work for yourself, so what is the real reason?"  I have never been asked that in 11 years.  Yes I have made money, I have been able to keep my son in any sport he wanted as he was growing up. I thought it was the picture of travel and lifestyle an such, but is that all, is that true.  That cannot be true if I am still here and money hasn't been a factor.  I live in a 2 bedroom apt that we are very comfortable right now, we have 1 car, there isn't a purpose for  2.  I give away our "extras" all the time, so what is it then?  

I thought about if for a few minutes and it comes down to this.  It's the people, I truly, truly love helping people. I love being a coach, I love doing follow-up calls and seeing how someones week went, I love someone calling me from a dressing room because they are buying jeans 2 sizes smaller or went to the gym for the first time. I love inspiring change in people's lives, helping them get their health back or feeling better about themselves.  I have had some clients who have been told they can't for so long that they believe it.  I have had some who have been so beaten down, they believe they don't deserve it and that is just not true.  I love that I can make someone smile and feel good about themselves. So if I can make a difference in someone's life and help the achieve their goals, then I achieve my own at the same time.  So that leads me to ask these questions.

How are you doing? What can I do to serve you? What can I do to help, hold you accountable, plan out your goals or anything of the sort?  I am available by phone, email or text, just let me know what you need and I will always do my best to help. 

I love what I do, I love our company, I love that we are working together to help others around the wold.  I love that we have CASA Herbalife's around the world to help children, give them a good meal and an opportunity and I love that we strive to be a little bit better every day.  Those that truly are in Herbalife to help others, to change lives and are in for the right reasons is why this company works. We have huge hearts and truly, truly want to serve others.  That is why we work, it isn't a get rich quick scheme and if that is what you are after you won't last and you will blame Herbalife, your sponsor, your down line and the list goes on.

I just want to know, what are your goals, what can I do to help and support you?

Change your thoughts, change your life

A letter to my customers, members, Distributors and anyone who want to "listen" in.

It's not about it getting easier, it is who you become along the way. If things are not as we want them to be we have to change, we have to grow, we have to become better.

Fitness, it's not always easy, but we get better with consistency. Those that know me know that exercise was not my cup of tea, but in order to grow I had to change. To become a better person I had to put that DVD in 5 days a week. Week by week I became stronger and more confident, with consistency I saw change.

Weight loss/gain overall nutrition, it is not always easy, but we get better with choices, not letting the scale dictate our day or weekend. We do not have to be perfect in our "diet", but we do have to make healthy choice, most of the time. If we mess up, we have to learn to let it go and choose better our next meal.

Self - Here's a big one, we are inundated with negativity these days, the news, TV shows, Facebook, mommy wars, professional wars, men vs women it is constant. We have to be on the offensive, we have to dictate what we read, what we listen to and what we let affect us. If you are not sure where to start, I have a reading list and a CD list. Jim Rohn changed my thinking forever with a CD series called "Challenge to Succeed." Attitude 101 by John Maxwell and so many more.

Bottom line is YOU ARE WORTH IT!! BELIEVE IT!! And if you don't or have a hard time with that, then call me, email me or text me. I believe in you. Why? Because I care, because I love, because it's not easy. I have seen the damage that can be done by accepting negative talk from others and self. I see the beauty you have inside and if you cannot see it yet, I want to help you find it.

Change your life, challenge yourself. Will self doubt and negative thoughts still come, yes. It never gets easier, you just get better! You learn to push it off and choose to believe what is truth. You are a unique individual with a unique mission in this life and a gift to all of us. All of us need each of us and each of us needs all of us.
