Happy Saturday! Okay today is a VERY happy Saturday for me for multiple reasons. The first being I don't have ANY work commitments today and it's a beautiful 24 degrees outside on October 1st! How could you not be in a good mood! The second reason I'm about to share with you...
There's a little bit of a back story to this happy ending. Back in January of this year, I found myself in a really depressing state. I was starting to give up on myself and on life. I couldn't find a job, I was way behind where I wanted to be and I simply didn't care about anything anymore. I remember talking to my cousin and saying the things in life that used to make me happy don't anymore and her response being maybe you're depressed. I knew I had to go find some way to reverse this because I had so much more potential that I was just throwing away. I wanted to fix it.
A friend of mine asked if I would like to come to a business meeting with her. No obligations, no pressure just to come and sit and hear some inspiring speakers. I declined for a few months, mostly because I knew I would probably get roped into this business and I didn't want to. After a few months of being asked, I thought to myself "well I have nothing else to do, so I may as well go."
I saw women and men who had started their own businesses who were absolutely rocking it. They shared how they started, how they worked it, and where they are now. And they were just ordinary people who were living ordinary lives. No secrets, just hard work and dedication brought them to this point. I will admit, I was still skeptical.
If you know me, I am the kind of person who has to look at every aspect of something before going through with it. It's been that way from the get go, and I have made many smart decisions because of it. So over the last six months I continued to attend these meetings to see how a variety of different people started and excelled in this business. I read through blogs, watched YouTube videos, followed many people on social media to see their WHY and their HOW. I have to say, I quickly fell out of my depressing state and started to see the fire in me again.
So long story short (although not really, sorry!) I decided it was time for me to jump and learn how to fly. I decided on October 1st to launch my Arbonne business. I have to admit I'm scared, excited, confused, pumped, and skeptical all at the same time. These emotions are going to be what I use to drive me to succeed in something that I feel very passionate about. I started using these products because I had no choice but to start living a healthier lifestyle or my life as I know it would have changed drastically. I can now honestly say I feel so much better and forgot about those six months that pulled me down.
I have switched the topic of this blog several times, but I would love if you would follow me on my journey! I will start blogging more about being a business women, entrepreneur, and the healthy lifestyle changes I have and will continue to make. I can't wait for the future, because I am making it my own!
