They say to help grow, you have to be brave and put yourself out there... well this is my brave and putting myself out there moment....
I joined the Herbalife family after a health scare 3 years ago-in short, my failed attempts at weight loss via a lap-band landed me with a partial gastrectomy and a long list of complications after my stomach ruptured... the "Why?" Seemed pretty obvious--I was suffering malnutrition, I could finally eat but nothing stayed put, and I was still battling my weight issue... post op steroids, antidepressants and medications to slow stomach acid production didn't help...
My doctor suggested Herbalife as nutritional support and the rest is history... And yes- it's THAT Herbalife... the one that's been around for almost 45years- the one that has weathered storms and remains the #1 Meal replacement shake and #1 Nutritional Support Program in the World (Google it or ask Siri...) The one that helped me to loose over 100 pounds...
We were offered the opportunity to establish ourselves as business owners in our community, purchasing Ellington Nutrition Stop a year ago...the "Why?" Became a Why Not??--the products helped me recover physically and nourished my body, they are delicious and 100% guaranteed. They hold over 20 Global Certifications for Nutritional Support products and are endorsed by NSF, ADA, and by the FDA to be Gluten free, dairy free, and Non-GMO. They even have an entire Vegan line... What better way to bring my 34 years of Nursing Experience to my town in a way to help others, so my "Why Not?" Hopefully resonates with some of you...You are not alone in your wellness journey- I provide 1:1 coaching services as well as promote monthly team wellness challenges via our Elevate 21 Program.
Here we are a year later, ready to celebrate our 1 year anniversary at ENS... what have we learned--
1) owning your own business is hard- unexpected expenses, increasing supply prices and skyrocketing utilities hit hard.
2) owning your own business is wearing your heart on your sleeve- acceptance into the community is tough but consistency and positive energy is your armor
3) owning your own business is amazing- getting to plan and bring your visions to life is a dream realized
4) owning your own business is rewarding- it's yours and building a community by educating and helping individuals on their health journey is simply the best
5) owning your own business is empowering-we realized as a family we can grow and do anything when we work together
6) owning your own business creates hope- hope that people will welcome you, visit you, trust you and benefit from your "why" in a way that creates hope for others
And finally-
Owning your own business creates Community- We love our Customers as family--we look forward to their smiles, hearing their stories, helping them achieve their wellness goals, sending them off with a Healthy option and a Great Experience is the Best Gift we can give.
These are my "Whys"... ask yourself what are your "Whys" as to your health and wellness goals? ask yourself "Why" am I not supporting a family owned business in my community? Ask yourself what choices am I making as to healthy options for myself and my family? Ask yourself "Why Not?"
We would love to meet you and your family if you haven't visited our shop yet. Come try one of delicious shakes, energy beverages, protein coffee drinks, healthy snack options and frozen treats.
