It’s All About Belief
Tuesday, April 24th, 2007When I was introduced to Isagenix, the reason I didn’t want anything to do with the business, is because I didn’t believe that I could ever be successful at a business like that.
Nor did I ever believe that I could ever lose 100 lbs, because I had tried so many times before, I thought that maybe I could lose 20-30 lbs, because I had done that 100 times before, but there was no way that I ever though I could ever lose 100 lbs.
After I had lost 50 lbs in 3 months, I was real excited about that, but I thought that it was a fluke thing, I didn’t believe I could ever do it again, but I continued following the program, & I continued to see results, then my belief level began to increase, then I thought that maybe I can do it this time.
I compare my business journey so much like my weight loss journey, in the beginning I didn’t believe that I could ever lose 100 lbs, & with the business, I didn’t think I could ever be successful with a business like that, plus I can’t talk to people ( I am a little on the shy & quite side) . But I had the desire to help others, to teach them about Isagenix, not only because what it had done for me, but what it had done for others as well.
I was also really struggling with my job, working retail is crazy, I never saw my family except in passing, I had to work a lot of weekends, and here it was Christmas eve & I had to be the closing manager again for the 3rd year in a row. Someone else was controlling me & my time with my family. I was also hoping to make enough income to be able to be home with my family.
My first year, I worked on my Isagenix business very, very part time, (I was working two jobs & taking care of my family). I had built my business up to were I was making only $50-$100 per week, when I thought to myself, Ok if I am making this much money & I am putting forth very little effort, I wonder what would happen if I put forth more effort.
So I decided to put in my 2 weeks notice on my full time job, & I went home & started to cry like a baby, thinking what in the world have I done, I could lose my home, we really needed my income to provide for my family. In fact I think I was very close to a nervous break down.
So I went back to work the next day, & told my boss, “I was a little bit premature in my resignation, I need to keep my jobâ€, & she told me, “SORRY Kim, I have already opened up your position, I don’t know if I can give you your job back. Well I went home very stressed & cried some more, for about 3 days. Then I thought well I have 2 choices, I either need to get to work on my Isagenix business or I need to find another job, well I decided to get to work on my Isagenix business, and it took me 3 months to replace my income, 3 months after that I doubled my income, and now it is 10 times my income.
I remember not to far into building my business setting down with my mentor, & business partner, Don Nooner, who is the 2nd millionaire in the Isagenix company, & I told him I was just hoping to be able to replace my income from my job, so I could be home with my family. There was no way did I ever believe I could ever make a 6 figure income, and I no that there is no way I could ever make a million.
And he said to me “Kim, why not, if you can make $400-$500 a month, why can’t you make a 6 figure income, & if you can make a 6 figure income, why can’t you make a million dollars?â€
Well I would like to tell you, I now know “I will be one of Isagenix’ Millionaires.”
There are two things in my life I have struggled with, & that has been my weight & my finances. Isagenix has changed both of those for me.
Again it is about belief
Two years ago at an Isagenix convention, a lady shared her story, & she said she started out in a size 14, & her dream was to get into a single digit size. I was a size 10 at the time, and I thought “I want to do that!â€.
I want to be in a single digit size. So the last two years I have been kind of going back & forth with the 9-day program, (which is the program I had followed to lose 152 lbs.) and the maintenance program, not really getting much results, just maintaining & thinking I don’t think that I can lose any more weight, I am just stuck here, but I am really ok with were I was at.
Then at the first of this year, I thought ‘Kim, why can’t you lose one more size?’, If I can lose 152 lbs I can surely lose one more size. So I set my goal to get to a size 8 or smaller. I have bought myself a pair of size 8 pants, & I can now fit in them. The thing that changed for me was the belief, before I was unsure that I could do it, to were I know I can do it, and thats what has made the difference for me.
“Its all about belief ” Believing is knowing and acting as if something is that is not but will be.
Isagenix is all about changing lives, and it really has changed mine in every way.
