Diana Ross sings about it, but do you really know where you are and where you are going in life? In her lyrics, she also asks if you like the things that life is showing you.

Do you? Sometimes we have to truly visualize what it is we want in life and we must open our eyes to the possibilities that life is offering us.

Many of us are often too caught up in the madness and rush of our daily routines that we stop thinking about where we really want to be in life and we miss important signals and opportunities because of the same reasoning.

Do you listen to your intuition? It’s your soul speaking to you. Follow it’s guidance.

Each day take a few moments to imagine your dreams and goals being fulfilled.

The more often you do this, the more you begin to realize the life path that you must take to achieve these dreams and aspirations.

Ask yourself: Do I like the things that life is showing me? If not, then what can you do to create the things and events that you would like to have happen in your life?

This is one of the first steps to rediscovering the passion and journey to a joy-filled and purpose-filled life.

If things come easy to you in a peaceful way, follow the path.

If life or a direction you are headed in is difficult and a struggle, change direction.

The beautiful thing is we are here as creative beings and can literally create what it is that we want, desire and deserve in our lives. It begins by being quiet, and clear on what you truly desire…..and then holding that vision daily…live it. Live it like it’s already here.

I always ask the Universe to make it CEO, Clear, Easy and Obvious, so I can’t possibly miss the ‘signs and signals’ that are shown to be daily…. (perhaps it could be through intuition or that quiet whisper or nudge?)

So ask yourself, Do you know where you are going, do you get what you are hoping for? Listen to the song below and let it sink in. I think you’ll find it inspiring. I did.

Many people began understanding the power of intention and manifestation after the movie, THE SECRET became popular….but it’s always been available and is today, to all of us.

Sweet blessings on your journey. One of the saddest thoughts for ME in this life is to take my last breath and not realized why I was here and didn’t become the person I was destined to be.

I’d love to hear your comments. Was this useful? Did it make you think? Just writing it made me think about what it is that I want and had me asking myself am I getting what I want?

We can share our life and our journey…but ultimately our journey is soul driven and our own. It is my ‘fate’ to figure it out and create what I want. I can attract, through vibration and human frequency people, situations and events in my life but in the long run, it is my journey.

What I like Best about Network Marketing…

As I prepare for a Zoom Webinar LIVE today on the topic of Network Marketing I began reflecting on why I love this industry and why it my chosen career path.

If you had asked me ‘WHY NETWORK MARKETING’ several years ago I would have emphasized more on the income that is possible in this industry. Don’t get me wrong -that IS extremely important to me. I do want the “super checks” and residual income. But if I were to prioritize WHY I love the industry of network marketing there are other factors that stand out.

Not necessarily in this exact order, but a top priority in my life is that I love being my own boss and owning my own time schedule. Yes, I have worked jobs where I had a time clock or schedule but I prefer to own my time. This has become even more important now that I have adult children, grandchildren and aging parents. I’m simply unwilling to miss out on significant events in their lives.

Couple on a tropical beach

#1 is TIME FREEDOM : Along with Being My Own Boss means I can work with WHO I want, WHEN I want and HOW I want. I choose to work with people who are positive minded, have high integrity, do what they say they will do and are TEAM players.

Sure, I have been my own boss when I was a personal trainer and transformational life coach, but there was no time building there and if I didn’t ‘work’ I didn’t get paid. Very different!

#2 is network marketing offers me the opportunity to contribute to the lives of others in a positive way. I get to inspire, collaborate, teach, learn/share, and be able to create what I want in my life and for others. Up until 5 years ago my mother made comments that I should have pursued her idea of a dream career for me in teaching/counseling or health. What she didn’t understand about network marketing is daily I teach, coach, counsel and talk about health all while making the difference in the lives of countless people.

Also, if you want to become a professional in network marketing, you truly do need to incorporate those skills as well as aspects of personal development. It’s often said, Network Marketing is personal development or leadership factory ‘disguised’ as a business opportunity.

#3 is I get to work from home, or wherever I am, as long as I have internet service. This means flexibility and I can work in my pajamas or comfy yoga clothes if I

choose. That may not sound important to some people but it is to me.

#4 Lastly, but not less important, is the income we can earn with Network Marketing. If I continued as a personal trainer, life coach or in sales, the likelihood of me earning a 6-figure income would be slim. Now it is my reality AND I plan on being a 7-figure earner in the not so distant future in this industry.

Along with income comes RESIDUAL INCOME. Often when we are traveling or not focused on our business, our checks continue to be deposited into our bank account, and often grow.

Here’s a fun fact. Whatever you earn in network marketing multiply that by 200 and you’ll get the approximate amount of money you’d need in savings to earn that kind of income each month.

Do you know if you are earning $10,000 a month residual income in network marketing that it is equivalent to having a 2 million dollar asset? The likelihood of having $2 Million in savings is remote for most, however earning $10,000 a month may not be…. in other words, it is doable!

Think about it. The other thing I love about network marketing is you can do it VERY part-time or full-time. It is your choice. If you are in network marketing what do YOU like best about your career? If you are not actively with a network marketing company and are interested in joining, please give me a call. I’d love to chat about YOU and what you are looking for. 802-846-7530.

Below is a post off Facebook. Enjoy! Job vs. network marketing….

I went to an #Interview for a #Job👔 yesterday. When the boss asked what I wanted for #Compensation💰 I replied:
1) First I would like commission? ?💲💲 on everything I sell.
2) I would also like the #Opportunity to earn #Free 🆓 trips, bonuses paid in full, and lifestyle bonuses starting at $350 every four weeks going up to $2,000 every four weeks.
3) I expect you to provide me with my own #Website 💻and provide free online training all over the 🌎.
4) When I bring in any new sales people🙍🏼, I deserve to be compensated💰 a percentage of their sales and the sales of any new people🙋🏼 they bring in.
5) I would like the opportunity to rapidly advance within the company📈.
6) When I do well, I expect lots of #Recognition🎉🎈, and more bonuses💰💲💰. Did I mention all expense paid trips for me and my family?
7) I would like my #Friends👭 and #Family👪 to work here.
8) By the way, I need to set my own #Schedule,📅 and only #Work when it suits me and my family💺.
9) And last, but not least I want to earn awesome gifts like brand new #Apple #IPad #AppleTV #Apple #EarBuds
So when can I start????

After the owner recovered from shock⚡, he roared with laughter 😂😂😂😂 “You must be sick in the head🙆🏼, or dreaming😪. You will NEVER🚫find an opportunity like that 🌎ANYWHERE🌎 and if you do, come back and get me, cause I want to work there too” 💁🏼 So I gave him my #Tavala business card & he joined my team 😜!!!!

I came across a page in an old journal today, something I had written several years ago, and decided to publish it here in a blog. This is after several people on our team asked me “What is your story”? Well, this is not about our company or a personal transformation or a testimonial, but it will give you a glimpse into a little bit about who I am…and why “JOY”.

Ironically on Saturday our book, “In Their Own Words” arrived, all 1500 copies, first edition. It is a book highlighting stories of people on our Tavala team who have overcome ‘something’ worth sharing and how they proceeded to go on to create a new life for themselves. I just LOVE highlighting others successes and shining the spot light on them!

A little about me and how I think….

I believe…… We create daily in all we do, the thoughts we have, the pictures we put in our minds, the words we speak both to ourselves and to others and the people we associate with. Each thought- hopefully creates positive experiences in our lives. I choose to think positive thoughts and associate only with conscious people of high integrity, who are also doing their best to make the world a better place.

It was just a month before my 47th birthday (I’m 61 years old now) that I looked in the mirror and decided I not only desired but deserved more joy in my life. I also wanted to find a business or career I could have the time to enjoy….while rediscovering MY new FOUND JOY.

So what did I do? I ended a home-based career in event planning (For 10 years it had been my dream job but by this time it was something I no longer enjoyed), I moved, changed my last name, began using my middle name JOY, rather than Deborah and lastly I had a small “joy” tattoo put on my body….something to remind me of the emotion of JOY!

This is when I did the following:

I am a connector, a net-worker …. Not so much a network marketer (although I am that now!) but I’ve always enjoyed bringing people together, with ease. I ask “What are you looking for? What makes your heart sing? What are your talents and how can you share them?” and then I put their answers into action.

Do you know that the majority of things people are searching for can be found in this wonderful career or even ‘hobby’ called Network Marketing? (Meeting people, More travel, More income, Opportunity to use your skills and leadership, Opportunity to teach and inspire others, Inspire and Motivate others, Time freedom, Leaving a legacy, More quality family time, etc.)

I remember being told at a very young age that I am a natural ‘connector’. I always wondered what that meant and also how one could make a living (or make a LIFE) ‘connecting’. In my early 30’s I was introduced to network marketing. Connecting with others is something that comes easy and natural and that IS the thread of building a team while working together.

Part of the journey begins with SELF CARE…. And by taking care of ourselves we are then capable to assist and care for the well-being of other people. If you aren’t nurturing yourself, doing what you love and replenishing your ‘energy’ then you won’t be able to be your biggest gift to the world.

Yes, I now go by my middle name “Joy” but I was born Deborah Joy Edgerton. My last name has changed several times throughout my adult journey called LIFE, and today I embrace my newfound freedom of being a powerful woman of 61, who aspires to help, connect, network with and inspire others to live their lives with JOY!

My background?

I have been a personal trainer and transformational life coach, natural body builder, nutrition enthusiast, and a health advocate who happens to share and sell products that transform lives. I get up each and every day hoping to inspire others to both take control of their health and also to discover and create the life that makes their hearts sing.

My greatest joys? Being a mother of two adult children and four granddaughters; a wife to my husband, Dave, who is also my business partner. My life continues to evolve and I am learning daily to live more in the present! Living with gratitude for all things I already have helps attract MORE wonderful things into my life. I believe we manifest things in our lives.

Do you want more JOY in your life? My tag line on my business card used to be “Don’t Postpone Joy“.

Perhaps you are looking to find a business that fits your talents? Something where your talents can shine through? If so let’s chat. My husband Dave and I have a thriving business and are always looking for great people to join our team. Come and grow with us, have fun, share your talents. You’ll be honored, recognized and celebrated!

Perhaps your goal is to find products that will enhance and transform your life for the better. We have those as well…and if we don’t, no worries, I’ll refer you to someone who can help you.

If this has you saying YES, I’d love to connect. You can call me at 802-846-7530, or email me at joyedgerton@gmail.com.

Is YOUR Doctor Overweight? (Think Plant Paradox & Tavala Trim)

I recently read a fabulous book, “The Plant Paradox” by Steven Gundry. I also signed up for his newsletter and today received this “message” by e-mail. I thought it was worth sharing in a blog!

Along the way I’ll interject a couple of things and highlight them in purple, this way you know it is ME talking to YOU!

Is YOUR Doctor Over weight?

How about your Personal Trainer or Nutritionist?

There is something about taking advice from someone who ‘doesn’t look the part’ and is not congruent with their profession. That is what this is about…and what the famous doctor, who was 70 lbs. over-weight did to change this for his life- and is helping others do the same.

In ‘his own words’….

“Can you keep a secret?

There’s something important I want to share with you today.

And, other than my wife Penny… I’ve never really talked about it to anyone…

But there’s an important lesson in it — a lesson that changed my life completely.

And I think when I reveal that lesson to you…

It might change some things in your life for the better, too.

So, bear with me. This is going to require me to share some pretty embarrassing details about my life.

It all started about 15 years ago…

At the time, I felt like the biggest hypocrite in the world.

Sure, I was saving other people’s lives in the operating room, but my own life felt out of control.

As you may know… I was giving people health advice… while I myself was 70 pounds overweight.

Ironic, right? But that feeling of hypocrisy wasn’t even the worst part.

And believe it or not, neither was the fact that I was hypertensive, pre-diabetic, and felt sick all the time.

The worst part… was how it affected the everyday details of my life.

Let me give you three painful examples:

Example #1: My Secret Fat Suits

During my worst period, my weight would fluctuate wildly.

And because I didn’t want people at the office to notice my weight gain when my suit got tighter…

I kept three different sizes of the exact same suit in my closet.

It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true.

I’d have the size I’d wear when I was at a “medium” weight…

The size I’d wear when I lost 20 pounds on whatever diet I was trying…

And then the size I’d have to wear when I “fell off the wagon” and overate until I was even bigger than usual.

And the more time went on, the more I noticed that I was wearing the biggest suit.

It was demoralizing. I felt like I was being defined and controlled by my weight.

And I was tired of it.

Example #2: Shoe-Tying Challenges

At my biggest point, even my shoes were a painful reminder of my weight.

Whenever I bent over to tie them… I’d have to lean to the side to “go around” my gut.

As you might guess, I was far too embarrassed to do this in public…

Especially in front of healthier colleagues, or even worse… patients.

So, I’d double- or even triple-knot my shoes before leaving the house.

And if I had to take them off or re-tie them at work… I’d go to the bathroom to do it.

If you’ve never experienced this… it gets old really fast.

Example #3: Lying to Myself

Now, this one stings the most…

I don’t know about you, but trying on clothes at the department store was discouraging.

Whenever I’d find a pair of jeans I liked, I’d unconsciously grab the size I wished I could fit into…

And when I tried it on, I’d be reminded that it was too small for me.

Then I’d go up one, two, three sizes… and they still wouldn’t fit!

Humiliated, I’d have to hand back ALL the jeans I tried on to the dressing room attendant.

And by the way… these are just a few of the hurtful ways my weight was affecting my daily life.

There had to be 30 or 40 more things like this every day!

It made me feel ashamed — trapped in a body that didn’t fit.

Now, why am I telling you all this?

(and better yet, why am I, Joy, sharing this with you?)

Because I have a feeling maybe you can relate… even if your body issues have nothing to do with weight.

You see, when your body doesn’t feel like yours, for ANY reason…

Whether it’s because you’re carrying extra weight, struggling with fatigue, or battling digestive problems…

The things that really get under your skin aren’t always the disasters.

I never got so big I broke a chair. I never had to buy two plane tickets to fly. I never had one of those “nightmare” problems you read about…

What I did have, though, were dozens of those tiny moments throughout the day that piled up, and reminded me over and over…

I wasn’t controlling my body. My body was controlling me.

So, if you’re struggling with a body that feels all wrong…

A body that’s creating those “tiny moments of misery” throughout your day…

I want you to know I understand.

And not just on some medical, cellular, scientific level.

I understand the emotional pain. It’s just as heavy as the physical effects.

The emotional pain is what makes us want to change our situation.

So, you might be wondering: How did I make that change?

Well, the answer isn’t some “magic” solution… It’s motivation.

And do you know what I found are the two keys to motivation?

1) Your source of motivation has to be both specific and passionate.

You have to zero in on what you care about the most… what’s important enough to drive you to change.

And you have to write it down.

For me, it was a few things: my wife, my kids, my future grand kids (I now have a one-year-old grandson and a two-year-old granddaughter), and my profession of helping people. (Joy speaking here, for ME it is my husband, my kids, my 4 granddaughters and my profession of helping people through network marketing with opportunity to earn income…as well as with products that enhance and change lives!)

Not only did I want to be around for all these things… I wanted to be as healthy as possible for them. That’s what drove me.

However, being driven isn’t enough by itself…

2) To stay motivated, you have to be accountable.

The moment you take responsibility for your actions, the entire world opens up for you.

Excuses fall by the wayside. And the beautiful part is, it’s all up to you. Remember, you’re in control of your life.

And one of the easiest ways to be held accountable is to share your goals and motivations with someone else.

And that leads me to my question for you today:

What’s motivating you to make a healthy change in your life?

Now, the healthy change you’re going for may not be your weight…

Maybe it’s your energy, joints, digestion, heart health, or something else you’re trying to improve.

But whatever change it is you’re trying to make…

What’s motivating you to do it?

Share your motivation with me today!

I don’t want you to have to go through the same emotional turmoil I went through alone.

And I don’t want you to miss out on your favorite parts of life anymore. You deserve better!

What I do want is for you to wake up every day feeling confident, happy, and able to do the things you love most.

You’re here for a reason, Joy. We only get one shot at life.

And I want you to enjoy living every single day to the fullest.

And you don’t have to do it alone. Let’s do this together…

All you have to do is hit ‘Reply’ to this email (in THIS CASE BLOG) and tell me about what’s driving you to make your healthy change.

And remember… be as specific as possible.

Trust me… it wasn’t until I finally wrote down WHY I wanted to change my life — and shared it with someone — that I actually turned things around.

So write me back, right now, and put your motivation into words. It may be one of the most important decisions of your life!

Looking out for you,

Steven Gundry, MD

P.S. I’m so excited to walk down this path with you. What you’re about to do is the same thing I did… that changed my life.

The moment I wrote my motivation down, I gained a sense of clarity and purpose I’d never felt before.

So, do yourself this favor. Simply hit ‘Reply’ and let me know what’s driving you to live a healthier life.

I can’t wait to hear from you!” (Incidentally, the good ol doctor later shared he had literally thousands of people share THEIR reasons for wanting to make a difference in their health/vitality.)

Now here is where MY COMMENTS come in. I am not a physician – but I am a certified personal trainer (no longer training others, just myself!) and I am someone who knows that my goal, my passion and ambition in life is to share things with others to help make an impact in their lives….

primarily, with their health, their fitness and overall vibrancy of life.

Dr. Gundry’s book, “The Plant Paradox” is life changing and I highly recommend you read it and follow his suggestions. He offers the REASONS behind the changes, which will be very useful in a transformation. I also realize that doing this ON YOUR OWN can be difficult, and on top of that, dealing with cravings and appetite issues, which is why I am here and recommending the TRIM, by Tavala. It is a thermogenic product that comes in both drink and capsule form.

The TRIM, often referred to as TAVALA TRIM, boosts the metabolism, gives lasting energy (without the crash) and suppresses the appetite and cravings- which makes it much easier to make Dr. Gundry’s changes!!!!!

Remembering Why I Started…. Joy’s Journey with Bikram Yoga and Beyond!

I don’t know about you but I must thrive on goals. I don’t know if that is normal but most of my life it seems like I am setting goals- planning the execution (usually creatively) and then hopefully remembering to celebrate when I actually attain them.

Sometimes in the past I have built up to attainment and then when I reach it there is a let down….or I forgot to actually ‘champion myself in attaining whatever goal I set out to attain’.

Has that ever happened to you? Always striving to arrive and not really enjoying the process ?

In mid-August I decided to slow down and enjoy each and every day in a new and different way. Since yesterday is the past and tomorrow is the future, enjoy TODAY for it really is the “PRESENT”….and today is all we have.

Recently I began Bikram Yoga. When I joined it was with an intro of 30 days for $30….. meaning you can take a class each and every day for 30 days. BAM! I don’t know when I created the goal to do Bikram 30 days in a row, but it has become my goal.

Funny thing is a month ago I never would have expected to do yoga EVER….and now here I am. What happened?

Our bodies create opportunities to have things show up if only we listen. My right elbow was my guide here as it became painful to play tennis and lift weights so I went ‘inward’ and asked my body & soul what it needed and I heard LOUD AND CLEAR, Bikram Yoga. ???? Really???? (By the way, without a sore elbow I can almost guarantee I never would have choose yoga.)

I could have fought it, however at age 60 I am old and wise enough to act when I hear that ‘special whisper’. I admit that sometimes in my life I have ignored that inner voice….and it took a lot longer to get where I wanted to go with the detour. Not good or bad, just a longer journey.

Several people who know me well have asked what changed where now I not only wear yoga clothes as I always have, but actually I am now DOING Yoga? Why did I begin and why am I driven?

Each and every day I wake up and remind myself why I started. Like most 12-Step programs…. one day at a time.

So 20 days ago I look at myself in the mirror. I didn’t cry but I also wasn’t totally excited with the woman looking back at me in the mirror.

I have always been healthy, strong and lean but the lady in the mirror looking back at me looked different. Confidence was missing in her eyes! So I talked to her and heard some reasons why I ought to consider the shift and why Bikram Yoga would be good for ‘her’, aka ME. Although I have gracefully embraced my age, I have not embraced my body since menopause.

The most driving reason I am doing Bikram Yoga is I want to be healthy/flexible and have a healthy longevity. I have a family I love, that include grandchildren and I want to be vibrant and healthy so I can see them grow up and can be a part of their world- and their children’s world. I’m in a loving marriage and want to be healthy together til our last breath.

Yes, perhaps across the board I am healthier than most women my age, but it still doesn’t mean anything unless you are happy with how you LOOK and FEEL!

I see my parents and in-laws age and although they are vibrant in their own way in their mid to late 80s…. I personally want to be able to travel and explore and have the strength and health to do so well into my 90’s, if I choose.

Much of my life I have concentrated on my physical body and my physical health- perhaps spurred on by body building at age 30. (Once again, another goal…can I do it and win after giving birth to 2 children 4 and 5 years prior? I needed to prove to myself that I could! Much like with 30-Days of Bikram Yoga)

Ahhh, the ultimate shape and size….body fat, etc. OK, so I proved that I could reach a lean (unhealthy I may add) 8.5% body fat and win my category in a Body Building competition but that didn’t make me any happier. In fact there was such a let down after that experience that I still can’t shake to this day.

Fast forward 30 years and the health I am seeking today is more well-rounded. Not just the physical beauty aspect of what one sees in the mirror, but the soul-spirit connection. Although some people think going to a zen yoga class that is gentle with spiritual music may feed my soul better, right now the challenge (mentally and physically) of Bikram Yoga is where I am at and fuels the challenge!)

Ultimately I want to love, appreciate and enjoy who I am in the world. Don’t we all? Since making ‘MY SELF CARE’ a priority it has shifted into other areas of my life. Hallelujah!

Yes, without question part of the transformation is still the PHYSICAL BODY and one ‘must do’ is melting my men-o-pot (belly fat) so that I am a healthier and lean post menopausal woman. Belly fat is toxic, unattractive and honestly, very difficult to have when trying to do yoga poses. (no kidding!!!) Not to mention, clothes just don’t fit the same when your belly is large.

CAREER & LIFE

Working with TAVALA is very gratifying on many levels. I enjoy mentoring other people who want to improve their lives either with their health (which includes WEIGHT LOSS with Tavala TRIM, or being PAIN-FREE and have vibrant energy with the Tavala Quantum Relief Strips!) Learn more here: www.DaveandJoy.com

TAVALA for Wealth Building and Fueling Dreams!

I know that having additional income in all households offers additional options, no matter the current level of wealth. It’s about a shift in consciousness with abundant thinking….not just MONEY! When we have abundant thoughts we think beyond ourselves…which led Dave and I to discover an amazing organization that is doing great things throughout the world, for women. (And when women are empowered, face it, families and communities are empowered!)

We recently partnered with an organization called WEA, Women’s Earth Alliance http://womensearthalliance.org/ and are donating 5% of our customer sales to their organization each month. This includes any of the products off our website, www.DaveandJoy.com or even through our sampling site, www.TryOurSamples.com. It may not sound like a lot of money, but in time, we hope it will add up to being able to make a difference in the lives of many.

So there you go… today is Day 19 doing Bikram. I am actually looking forward to my ‘practice today’. Will it be perfect? YES and NO. Yes for ME, as I’ll do my best, and that is all they ask at Bikram. If you can do it – DO IT, and if not, at least do what you can… but do it ‘the right way’.

I doubt the majority of my poses today will actually look like those in a Bikram book- but this is OK. Today is another day, another opportunity for self-care and self-love. By filling MY CUP daily I am in a great position to help others in my life and beyond.

So what is YOUR goal? Your STORY? Mine is ever-changing and I like the changes. It’s all about today and eventually tomorrow, but I leave my story from yesterday at the door. Life Coaching taught me that!

If you are inspired to share your journey or how you may be able to relate, let me know. I’d love to hear. If you have ever set a goal similar that seemed insurmountable like 30-Days of Bikram Yoga is for me, please share.

If you are looking for a way to become the better version of you in the HERE & NOW, perhaps I can offer guidance. I am a Transformational Life Coach although I don’t ‘practice’ that, rather I incorporate it in my life and in my Tavala business.

How I Found Network Marketing and Why I Love it! (or did it find ME?)

Comments Off

Many people grow up knowing they want to own their own business and to be their own boss….and then there are those people like me, who discover an entrepreneurial drive later in life and wonder where it came from.

My parents were not entrepreneurial- they always worked for someone else. My father for the University of Vermont and my mother at a bank or the University of Vermont later in life. Other than my grandparents who were dairy farmers, try as I might the only ‘entrepreneurs’ I knew growing up were my best friend Laurie’s parents. They were authors of several books and articles and even had an invention that brought them residual income from time to time.

As I look back I was inspired by their flexible schedule and time freedom more than anything….but now as I look closer it was also their residual income that seemed ‘cool’ that came from book sales, or articles or sales of an umbrella that withstood heavy winds…even when they weren’t ‘doing the do’.

I didn’t understand or know of residual income back then. Sure my friends parents worked, and when they did they went to their studio behind their house so it didn’t impact the family life and ‘house’….but they seemed to have more leisure time than any other parents I knew. Oh, and due to their job and writing ‘gigs’ they traveled to cool places and had friends with affluence that invited them on fancy vacations, on their yachts etc.

I didn’t start our entrepreneurial but it ‘kind of’ found me!

Since my 30’s I have owned my own business. First it was a network marketing company that “found me”. I had no idea what network marketing was but I was introduced to a product and my passion was health, so it was a natural ‘fit’ for earning additional income. Plus I was working at a gym and had a sphere of influence so if I recommended something, people purchased.

I never made more than $1500 a month with that company but I did travel to Hawaii a couple of times, Florida, Palm Beach California, Montreal etc. and 90% of the time those trips were earned or ‘won’ and no out of pocket cost. I had never stayed in 5 Star accommodations (like the Hawaiian Hilton Villages on Oahu) or had the opportunity to wear ‘glam evening wear’ and party with people who had become wealthy beyond my imagination through network marketing. I remember thinking “I could get use to this”…. and then things changed….the company collapsed with the death of the founder and the direction the two vice presidents were taking did not appeal to me and people divided.

A couple of years later I co-owned and ran an exposition-event company. Once again, in the health industry. (body mind spirit). After ‘retiring’ from that hectic lifestyle after 10 years, at age 49 I decided to get my personal training certificate and get my Transformational Life Coaching certification….and become ‘my own boss’….just me, no ‘partner’ or employees. Since my 20’s I naturally ‘coached’ people to health and fitness…so why not get paid?

That career was geared to working with women and very gratifying. During that time I was introduced to a nutritional product from another network marketing company. Although I honestly had NO intention to become an active rep, it naturally happened as I began sharing products with my clients who could benefit…and they did. In less than 6 months I was earning MORE with my network marketing business so decided to do that full time … with my training and coaching as a ‘part time hobby’.

Once again, Network Marketing found ME!!! Now I was older and wiser and had a better grasp on the industry and how to build teams…. and this was the time in my life that I discovered how much I loved the industry of network marketing and the lifestyle benefits. It’s a CAREER…. a profession- and it takes education to perfect your skills.

So I decided to list “Why I love Network Marketing” so here you go:

I love working as a TEAM, as opposed to on my own.

I enjoy building relationships with like minded people. (some of my best friends came from network marketing!)

I get to choose who I work with and associate with.

I use MY GIFTS daily to build my business and bring on others whose gifts can be complimentary.

I represent a company and product of my own choice and they provide the inventory and send it out on my behalf.

I’m in business with myself but not BY MYSELF. It is a partnership with the company and myself as an independent distributor, or member.

I don’t need to have inventory on hand and if I want to keep a minimal stock, that is up to me.

We are in this together. A true network marketing professional knows that they alone can not build a 6 or 7 figure annual income without working together and helping others succeed.

No matter the economy or job market, you can thrive in network marketing if you have the right company (stability and leadership) and the right products. (preferably consumable and those that are affordable so people can continue to purchase even if the economy goes south).

There is a tremendous sense of satisfaction being in charge of my own destiny. I have no ‘ceilings’ on income and I get paid for what I put into the business.

This is a business of leveraging my time. I love that it is truly TEAM WORK that makes the DREAM WORK.

I own my own time. I can work long hours and every day or take off time for family, grand kids events, aging parents etc. I now own my time whereas when I began in this industry I thought I had to be on the phone day and night and always available 24/7.

I enjoy helping others and get tremendous satisfaction seeing them succeed and reach their goals.

I love being recognized for my accomplishments.

As I grow personally, my business grows. This means personal growth continues and is in the flow. It is something that continues throughout life and network marketing is often called a Personal Development ‘FACTORY’ disguised as a business opportunity.

Travel- I love the trips that are often associated with leadership and success. EARNED trips by reaching certain levels or being consistent is a beautiful reward.

Income. I have never earned this kind of income in any of my ‘jobs’ or other business ventures AND hopefully it can grow each and every month. With our current company I have to say it grows monthly and the bonus incentives grow too. We have HUGE financial goals and I have no idea that we will reach every one of them.

I get to work from home or wherever I am … at the beach, in the mountains, on a cruise, on vacation….

I get to work with my wonderful husband.

I can invite family and friends to join me and help them earn additional income passively or whatever time they wish to put into the business.

WHAT ELSE WOULD I ADD HERE???? _______________________________________

I get weekly emails from www.Goalcast.com that are inspirational and often times I use bits and pieces in Facebook posts or in conversations.

This article, written by Aimee Halpin, on August 22, 2017 caught my attention and I want to apply it to my life. (my Business life, my Personal life and my Recreational life.)

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Henry Ford

“Did you know that your brain believes what it hears on a regular basis? This is true especially if you say it out loud or even under your breath multiple times a day. If you say “I can’t do that,” your brain believes you and makes it come to pass in some area of your life.

As we begin to look at the way we are talking to ourselves, our beliefs start to change. The words that are red flags in our minds are things like: never, hate, won’t, can’t, and even always.

If we tell ourselves things in absolutes, we start to believe them… even if they aren’t true.

Shifting from Can’t to Can: 8 Practices to Put in Place Right Now

You can only lose what you cling to. – Buddha

I want you to think of an area where you are selling yourself short right now. Where do you tell yourself you can’t achieve a goal that would really make a difference in your life? Breathe. Pause. Reflect. I want you to visualize the negative words as balloons and you are now releasing them to the sky.

I am going to show you eight practices that you can put in place right now that will really help you make that shift from can’t to can. All you need to do is believe.

Become an observer of your thoughts. I get it. It’s a tough time, but before you share someone’s opinion or post a status using the words in absolutes, think about if you believe it. You are reinforcing an absolute behavior.
Instead of letting your thoughts and emotions run away with you, start to observe if what you are telling yourself is even true, and whether it is yours. Is it old karmic nonsense that you just have on autopilot playing in your head? Was it passed down?
Change your morning routine to include a positive affirmation: I am healing. I am living a life filled with abundance. You get to be in charge of the positives here.
Remember Winnie the Pooh? How Eeyore acted? Be an observer not only of your thoughts, but of what energy you are putting out there. Are you attracting more negative?
Appreciate the good in your life and celebrate the achievements. Small steps are better than none taken. As Mother Teresa said: “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
I am a big believer in the science of brain-based healing. Studies have shown that thoughts alone can actually improve vision, fitness and strength. Brain chemistry and circuitry are constantly being re-wired as we shift to better thoughts.
When people consciously practice gratitude, they get a surge of rewarding neurotransmitters, like dopamine, and experience more illumination of the mind. If you don’t believe me, practice a gratitude ritual for 30 days and see how your life has changed in that time. It really changes your stress level.
I have seen epigenetics work in my own life. That means I am speaking to my genes with every thought I have. This is the part that might seem crazy, but the truth is that your biology doesn’t give you a reason to give up the fight. Epigenetics is showing that you really can change the way your body reacts and responds. Essentially, how genes are read by cells is actually changed by who you interact with and how you think and respond to life. It’s pretty powerful research.”

OK…. now a question may be “How do you apply this to YOUR life”?

When I first read this article all I could relate it to was my recent activity I just began. Bikram Yoga. Today is day 15…..15 classes in 15 days. Imagine that? When I first reviewed my Beginner’s Bikram book I literally panicked and my self-talk was very damaging. Phrases like you can’t do that, you won’t be able to, what are you crazy? etc. flooded my brain as well as flew out of my mouth. I had to apply some of the principles above….and each day I began to believe in my abilities over my initial self talk. One day at a time!

Sometimes in business I feel my goals are very ‘aggressive’. The goals and numbers often seem impossible to reach as well as the income projections we strive to reach sometimes seem inobtainable- but once again I tell myself- “many people have reached those goals- so why not me? Yes, you can do it too!”

As for our business with TAVALA and products we represent it is interesting that I did a poll not long ago with a group that I called my “test case”. Those that received the best results with our flagship product TAVALA TRIM were those who went into their daily usage with a positive mind and without skepticism. They believed the TRIM would work and they were open to the changes. Those who were what I call “Debbie Doubters…or Debbie Downers” fit into another category. They got mediocre results in comparison to the positive minded group and many claimed they just could not get themselves to remember to drink the one ‘thermogenic’ drink daily.
