Everybody dies but not everybody Lives.
I was alive but I wasn't living. 28 years old and my body
felt like I was 65. Each and every morning I hit the snooze button on my alarm
clock until the last possible moment NOT because I was tired, but because I
dreaded where I was going. Once I got there I found that I was rolling my eyes
more than I was smiling. Although I would set the day with good intentions of working
out at 5 pm or doing something active when I got home I always headed straight
to the couch. I wasn’t tired from over exertion at work, I was tired from
living a sedentary lifestyle. You see, life breeds life…and I wasn’t living.
I was grateful for the job I had, but I needed something
more. Ever since I was 6 years old I always had big ideas. Ideas that the
typical 6 year old didn’t have. My mother use to write everything I said down
and save it in a book, I still go back and read it today. I always dreamed of
traveling the world, creating my own company, and living a lifestyle of
abundance. I found myself sharing these ideas with childhood friends and
getting them excited about it too. At the time I was too young to go anywhere
but I KNEW that by the time I was 25 I would be well on my way…
So there I sat 28 years old at a desk in a small flooring
store owned by my family. After two years of running an extremely busy, successful
restaurant I was burnt out and fed up. I had nothing left in me with that
field. I once had dreams of owning my own healthy restaurant, but the economy
had other plans. The original move to the family business was suppose to be
temporary, but each day felt more permanent. My father and I had a great relationship
before joining his company always bouncing ideas back and forth off one another
and getting lost in the teaching of Eckhart Tolle, now it was all about
ordering floors. I found myself resenting both of my parents. Of course it wasn’t
THEIR fault that I wasn’t doing what I wanted, I was grateful that they even
gave me a job…I was mad at myself. I didn’t belong there and I could feel it in
every ounce of my body. I thrive on creativity, exploration, and speaking to
people…I felt that I was wasting my talent. Although I knew all of these things
I had also become comfortable. I was comfortable being unhappy, making excuses,
and complaining. I was comfortable accepting and believing that I didn’t do
what I wanted to do by 25, so this was the life for me.
Finally, one day I just couldn’t take it anymore. A customer
came in and asked me to help them pick out flooring, and I was useless. I had
been there for over two years and I was useless??? When I worked at my
restaurant I knew everything about everything. I could describe how every single
meal tasted, every single difference in ingredients, and would find myself making
friends with each person who came in. When the customers came in that day I had
wanted to run and hide in the back room...I just wasn’t passionate about
flooring and it showed. Not only was I doing something I hated, but I was
adding absolutely no value to my family business and it was affecting our
personal relationships. Right then and there I decided to take a chance and
make a change. I did NOT want that to be my life for the rest of my life. I was
hurting EVERYONE…including myself. I decided to leave my comfortable position at
my family business and work for myself as an independent Team Beachbody Coach.
I never looked back…
Not only did it make me a much happier person, but it
brought me closer to my family than it ever had before…especially with my father.
Today HEALTH is our business and he has actually joined me as a coach. WE are a
team, and I have never seen him more proud...that makes me happier than I ever
knew it could.
Now I am enjoying and exploring life because I can work from
anywhere I want. I finally feel like I am living. I feel like I am going after
what I have been dreaming of since I was a little kid. I don’t ever think about
what my life would be like had I never taken that chance to make a change. The
fact that I don’t want to know confirms that I made the right decision! What I
do with this business is up to me. It is not an easy handout or a get rich
quick scheme. It takes a lot of work to build this business but the cool thing
is it is up to ME how I run it. I get to use my creativity and my people skills
to reach people all while helping them to live healthier, fulfilling lives. I
have the opportunity to make a living by helping other people step outside their
comfort zones and realize everything that they are capable of. THAT is an
amazing feeling.
I’m not going to lie, I have always been a hustler. I love
to work, create, and hustle. The challenge of creating a successful business on
my own excites me. I am constantly thinking of creative ways to promote my
business, make my challenge groups run better, and to motivate people. For the
past two weeks I have been traveling through California. I have visited old
friends, explored places I have never seen, and met some new friends. I did not
take one single day off. I set my work hours around what I was doing, I found
places to get my workout in, I still ran my challenge groups and worked with my
team. I love being able to work from anywhere I want…and I love leaving the
east coast when it’s cold out!
I want to teach other people how to do what I do. I want to
find everyone who feels the way I felt before finding this opportunity and let
them know that there is another way! I am looking for 5 people that I will work
side by side with to mentor on this coaching opportunity. We are a part of the
number 1 team in the company and have great guidance! We already have the tools so there is no
reinventing the wheel, just taking that wheel and making it your own! This is
not a get rich quick thing so I’m not looking for lazy people who want to make
a quick buck. I am looking for motivated, hard working people who want
something more for their life than what they are doing. I am looking for the
people who feel that their talents are being wasted where they are…who feel as
if they are meant for something more. I am looking for people who care about
others and who thrive on the possibility of making a living by improving the
lives of others. I am looking for the inner entrepreneurs who have silenced
their drive to fit into societies norms and are ready to break out. Is that
you?
If this post spoke to you DO NOT x it out and just forget
about it…you read this for a reason.
To apply, fill out the application below or send me an email at Messina1892@gmail.com and do it
quickly! I am only accepting 5 people into this mentorship so that I can be able
to give each and every person accepted the attention they need to make this
work.
Stop dreaming about what your life could have been, and make
it what it’s meant to be! The only way to do that is to take action!
