Are you an entrepreneur, busy in your job, or running your own business? Is it having serious impact on your health and happiness?
In 1997 I came back from living and working overseas and forged the dream of opening my own business. Two months after returning, I had accomplished my dream, and my design/branding agency Lemonade was born.
Over the past 17 years there was a lot of blood sweat and tears growing and managing a highly successful business. With an increase in staff, equipment, space and overheads, there was always on-going need to find the next big client and project to keep the machine running, which brought extra stress and additional time commitment to do so.
Due to this added pressure, over the years I lost focus of my own health. I neglected the gym, I opted for comfort foods as a convenience, and rarely took the time out for myself to relax. Result being, I gradually put on weight and was constantly tired, had low energy levels, and also suffered the symptoms of reflux and the ailments of holding extra weight. Things weren't good under the hood.
In 2012, while on a European trip, I popped the question and asked Diana to be my wife on top of an extinct volcano on the island of Alicudi in Italy. At that time I also made a heartfelt promise to be the happiest and healthiest version of myself for our wedding in Bali the following year.
I needed to do something. Ahead of the wedding I decided to stop my yo-yo dieting, expanding waistline and growing collection of personal trainers details and gym memberships, by starting on this amazing program Diana had started the month earlier.
Straight away I felt a shift, I felt a difference.
I had boundless more energy, slept better and was far more enthusiastic about exercise and getting myself into shape. My friends, family and work colleagues all wanted to know what I was doing, and I was happy to share. Sharing our experience and results with others has allowed Diana and myself to generate substantial additional income, building long term residual income for ourselves. This has now allowed us to make some really big plans for our future. Dreams with an actual plan are now in place, and in December 2014, I sold Lemonade to pursue the opportunity FULL TIME, as I realised I had a business that was generating good financial returns, however it was like having a pair of golden handcuffs. Being paid just enough to keep me there, but not enough to set me free.
How many of you can relate to that in your business or current job?
Even with the income, I didn't have the TIME freedom to really do as I pleased, as exchanging my time for money kept me from travelling, and locked me into the idea if I wanted to earn more I would have to work harder than I was currently to exchange more time or, get more staff so they could trade their time for money. This was a machine I didn't want to build and manage again.
I have been constantly blown away with the quality of the products and the absolute integrity of the company behind the products. I was a pure skeptic at first, and tried to find every reason under the sun why I shouldn't pursue this opportunity. From that day, and each day, the company proves itself to be a legacy company dedicated to positively effecting personal, physical and financial health on a global scale. Any company with such grand vision, passion and long term dedication to a cause, that operates from the principles of integrity, fairness and authenticity, has my vote every day. In my professional experiences, these traits are hard to find let or lone finding a company that lives and breathes by them.
I now integrate these products into my daily regime of clean eating and regular exercise to maintain my health and long term wellness. As a result of using the products I have been able to lose the extra weight (and keep it off) and I am now able to help other business owners and like-minded entrepreneurs how they too, can get their own health back on track, and free themselves up to enjoy a life of true freedom and choice. Which allows them to spend more time with their families, travel more, help family and friends, give back to their communities and build long term residual income for themselves. All through the idea of earning more to allow you to give more. This is something that really gets me excited!
