Today I wish to start with gratitude.

Today I wish to start with gratitude.  As I sit here looking out my office window and I hear my children playing together on this snowy Monday morning, I am reminded of the seemingly insignificant decision that I made in 2009.  That simple decision to have a shake each morning (even thought it didn't taste good to me at first) and some healthier snack options (while I was nursing my 6 month old) and the promise that I made to myself that I would be open to the opportunity to share Isagenix with those I care about was that moment in time that looking back was one of the most powerful decisions I have ever made to transform my future; the future for my family and now the future for you and your family and many others that don't even know about Isagenix yet.  

If you are just starting out or even if you've been here for sometime but haven't fully decided to make Isagenix your future lifestyle.  I will challenge you to ask yourself this question, Am I trying or have I decided?  If you are dipping your toe in and you are trying this, your mindset is not where it needs to be.  If you have made a decision to go for it, and that means: 

1. eating the products - be a product of our products-this creates integrity (not just for a few months) 
2. being open to learning how simple this opportunity is
3. remain coachable & continue to learn - there are systems proven to help everyone succeed but if you have your own way, you may be alone for a while - knowing you are not alone...will help you to gain confidence and build belief - without these, this business will be very hard.
4. understand that in order to succeed at anything you have to be willing to put in the time and effort - many conventional businesses have trouble turning a profit within 5 years and most have high overhead, so why is it so common to hear people that want to give up here when they don't get their products paid for in the first few months? This is NOT a get rich quick scheme but it is a valid business that can set you and your family free within 5 years if you do it right! It took me 18 months - YES 18 months of hard work to attract my first business partners.  I wasn't READY for them until 18 months.  I had a lot of growth to get through personally first. This is more of a personal growth journey that once we get to a place in our personal development - the rest falls so gracefully into place!  Start working on your MINDSET and PERSONAL growth, this is a business investment and a write off!
5. be careful how you speak to people, if you think our products are expensive you don't have value and the understanding yet that how can you ever find a meal for under $3 with the nutrition we have...if you have some hang ups about something (network marketing, other things) you are communicating this with others subconsciously and no one will want to join you.
6. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!  The only way to fail is to quit.
