We all love a great "comeback" story. The best stories happen right when you believe all hope sheds - or when there is no way possible that success might happen.
One of my personal favorite comeback stories is Rudy-a small, blue-collar, academically challenged young man attempting to achieve his ultimate imagine playing football at Notre Dame. Ironically, he previously no Irish luck with him along his journey. Rudy was told "no" and was rejected time and again by his teachers, his coaches, his family and even his girlfriend. Rudy never lost the battle. He worked hard and kept pursuing the love.
Eventually, Rudy did reach his dream! He played in one football game at Notre Dame, and he was this kind of inspiration to his teammates, installed him on their shoulders and carried him off of the field when the game was over.
Rudy's story is surely an inspiration in my experience. Are you able to relate with Rudy?
My Story
My story began in years past when my daughter is at the "Junior Miss" (Distinguished Young Women) program which included talent, fitness, along with the dreaded interview. I was thinking that my daughter would use a little increase in her interview and pageantry skills, i really sought out a pageant coach.
I ran across Barbie Bassett, who at the time was the principle Meteorologist at WLBT in Jackson, Mississippi (as well as a real-life Barbie, in truth). Coaching my daughter was her priority, yet Barbie later approached me about something entirely different, something called Rodan + Fields.
Barbie Bassett was asking me to participate her within a social commerce business. I immediately said no. How could I wind up being successful in business once i am also a mother, wife, university employee, and community advocate?
Why don't you Me?
One full year later in 2012, it suddenly struck me. How could I NOT do that?
My well being was changing before my eyes. My daughter was now a senior in high school graduation about to leave for college, and my second daughter would soon leave for college. My partner involved to retire; my parents were getting older. Plenty of Changes!
Modifications inside my life helped me know that I want to go out with our kids in order to take in each moment together.
So, I called Barbie and shared with her I had been all in - I desired what Rodan + Fields was offering; freedom from 9-5, second income stream plus more time with my loved ones. Soon I began my own team and rose up 2% in the company. Not only did I earn a free of charge day at Even caribbean cruises, California, I additionally met Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields!
That is MY Comeback Story
I had created an increasing social commerce business which in fact had become the best financial decision that I have ever made. I became right where I want to to be the business. Unfortunately... life had another turn for me personally.
Prior to the comeback, I transpired the street of destruction. I acquired busy; I made excuses, I lost a dad or mom, my daughter moved away, everything that could put a hold on success. I stopped actively working my social commerce business and allow it to coast - still generate income, however, not putting enough effort into myself or my opportunity.
The a funny way of changing perspectives - yet again. Today is Spring 2017, using this program . in just a year of retiring from my full-time university teaching position. But without Rodan + Fields, it's impossible will be able to retire.
With the ages of 51, I am aware that i am wherever I need to be to improve my life, legacy, and family. I need the liberty to generate my very own schedule, be my own, personal boss and inspire others to achieve the same task!
I am just back! No longer excuses, you can forget distractions. I will be now channeling my inner "Rudy". Rudy never compromised on his dream. But, Rudy did have to be effective hard and overcome many obstacles. Are these claims you?
Do you think you're overcoming obstacles in your life to reach your dreams? Exactly what does your lifetime hold? I'm seeking people just like me who desire freedom, more importantly independence off their 9-to-5 life.
