Hi There and Welcome!
I recently graduated with a bachelors degree in Accounting after going to school for 8 years between going part-time and taking a year off. I have always worked jobs that left me feeling unfulfilled. I would LOVE them then I started but as soon as the newness wore off I would find myself dreading going back to work on Monday morning. In 2009 (four years after graduating high school) I realized that I need some type of college degree to get ahead in the corporate world so I enrolled in an Associates Degree program for Business Administration. I went to school part-time while working full time and chugged along finally finishing a two year degree in four years. Around this time I had my "quarter life crisis" as I call it. I hated my corporate job and the changes going on at the company so I quit, my boyfriend and I were having issues and I had moved out, plus I had plans of moving to Charlotte, NC but was too afraid to go. So I found myself with NO JOB, NO BOYFRIEND, and NO PLAN.
For some reason, going back to school to finish my bachelors seemed like the only logical thing to do so I re-enrolled full time and found a part-time job. I really enjoyed school and liked learning new things but I was already starting to feel like Accounting just wasn't my calling anymore...but when you have already committed to 90 credits you just suck it up and finish the degree.
Then last spring I started seeing posts of this girl who loved fitness, eating healthy and I watched her quit her full time job to be able to stay home full time and be a dog mom while working on her health and helping others. Immediately I was intrigued but I honestly thought it was some type of scam or one of those too good to be true type deals. So I sat back and secretly watched her for about 3 more months and then finally reached out. I was ready to get into the best shape of my life but also really interested in the possibility of being a stay at home dog mom. She kept telling me what a great coach I would be and even though it all looked perfect I kept telling her no. WHY you might ask? Because I was afraid to FAIL. I didn't think I would be good at it, hell I couldn't even get my own health and fitness in check. How was I going to help someone else get theirs on track? Still, she believed in me and kept following up. Finally after telling her no FOUR TIMES something in my gut finally pushed enough to take the plunge. I called her, said "I have my credit card, let's do this" (I had to use my credit card because my bank account was going to be negative) and never looked back.
2 years later I am still going strong, I LOVE what I do with a burning passion. I have been able to pay off all my debt aside from my student loans and our mortgage and also was able to quit my part time job after only 2 months of coaching.
I always tell people, if I can do this ANYONE can. You just need a deep enough reason to push on the hard days. I am so beyond grateful and blessed for this company and what coaching has done for my life and I want to share this with EVERYONE because it truly has changed my life.
