In sharing the “simple” routine required to do this business, I left out one key factor to success in this company: You can not do this alone. Team is essential. Without one, you will not survive in this business. But with one, you will thrive. This is why it is so crucial to plug into the people and the system provided for you. My support team does 3 necessary things for me. They are: Teachers Worker Bees Cheerleaders (more…)
Since I had never been in the network marketing industry before and had no clue what to do, I was a sponge for any information I could get. When I opened my starter package, I felt a little overwhelmed, but my excitement for my new career experiment kept me going. There was a lot of information, and I had no idea where to begin. Turns out, it’s not unlike buying a new TV or a desk from IKEA: it helps to read the manual. My kit was like a manual that told me exactly where to start, so I just...
The last thing I ever expected in my life was a phone call from my sister asking me to look into her new business and try her product. Like I’ve mentioned in the past, she and I were always very skeptical about the network marketing business model. We’d never seen anyone succeed at it before. We had only seen people waste their money month after month. But when she called me, she explained that her friend she had known for years had just started with this company and was indeed having real success. This changed my sister’s perception of MLM’s...
You might wonder why joining a network marketing company was such a push out of my comfort zone. I was never any good at marketing. In fact, I have always shied away from it simply because it never interested me. But it’s more than just a lack of interest. It really comes down to the fact that I’ve always worried that if I asked others for business, or favors, or help that I would inconvenience them; and the last thing I ever wanted to be was a nuisance. Add to that the very common personality trait we dentists have: we...
I titled my last post Taking an Unexpected Leap for a reason. The last thing I ever imagined myself doing was investing in a multi-level marketing company. In fact, even though I had never done it myself, I had quite a bit of MLM baggage. I actually hated the idea of it because what I knew about it made me feel uncomfortable. I never personally knew anyone who had succeeded. I was never really impressed by the products. They either seemed like questionable heath products with grandiose claims, or they were things anyone could just buy at the store. And...
I’ve been very busy behind the scenes working on my next project for the blog and deciding how to share it. What I love about having this blog is that it gives me the opportunity to take the search for my next career more lightly. Regardless of the outcome, it always results in more blogging material, which is a win for me either way. Because of this low-pressure approach, it reminds me that I don’t have to make a serious commitment until I’m sure. Every move I make is just a part of an experiment, a game. There is a...

Just stop. Did you ever notice that if you’re actually searching for happiness, it implies that you don’t already have it? So instead of searching, why not start to embrace it RIGHT NOW? It is right here, right in front of you. (more…)
When you envision yourself years from now looking back on your life, what do you see? Do you see a life well-lived, or are you filled with regrets? In the book The Top 5 Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing, author, Bronnie Ware, explores this very subject. As a palliative nurse caring for patients during the last months of their lives, she had the chance to learn the most common things people regretted in their own lives. I haven’t read the book, but an article on The Guardian recently caught my attention. I guess I’m...
We’ve all heard that if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life, right? How do you turn the things you love into a career? I mean, I love food. I love eating. I love being healthy. I love sharing all of that with others. But how do you turn that into work? While I had a few ideas, I never knew how I could realistically do that. Starting the weight loss business allowed me to have a seamless transition out of patient care into a similar patient interaction in a different field. I knew,...
