We Don't Meet People By Accident........

After a fantastic weekend with AdvoCare team members and fellow Champions (leaders), my heart runneth over with more passion and purpose for helping others. Being in the midst of a group of positive like-minded people is completely amazing and uplifiting. I heard awesome, heartfelt stories from individuals that are helping others become healthier, pursue their goals and achieve their dreams. To me this is so much more than nutritional products. I told a friend of mine recently that God's hand has been in my decision join AdvoCare from the beginning. He placed the right person in my path that introduced me to the products which led to connecting me with others in the organization. Then after a weekend that started out with 97% strangers, I headed back to Kentucky with new friendships that will grow into lifetime friends. How amazing is that?

 

Let me rewind to when I knew the decision I made with AdvoCare was the right one. I was already seeing product results and just kept feeding myself information about the company.  I opened up the IMPACT magazine (an AdvoCare publication) to read on page 7 the guiding principles of founder Charlie Ragus. #1 guiding principle "Honor God through our faith, family and friends". How many organizations have that in their principles much less the number one? I would be safe to say not very many! It was at that moment, I knew without a doubt the decision I made to join AdvoCare, was not really my decision at all. It was God's guidance that led me to this company. I know in my heart that God is using me to assist others through AdvoCare. I sat in the chapel service on Sunday listening to fellow team leaders lifting family and friends up in prayer, the praise service and the message which all tied to the #1 guiding principle. AdvoCare people are moms, dads, engineers, fitness trainers, grandmothers, grandfathers, school teachers, nurses, youth ministers, church secretaries, insurance representatives, military, real estate agents, coaches, college students and the list goes on but my point is they are real people with jobs and families that share nutritional products and business opportunites with people like me and YOU that result in positive changes for individuals and families. I see post about weight loss, more energy and results which is fantastic and I have my own results from product. I continue on products but its so so much more than "product" to me. It is a way of life that allows me to share unlimited possibilities with others that can have positive life changing results. 

For those of you that attended the retreat reading this--side note--Mr. Reynolds is not the only one that likes to write. I did not mention about making your bed but I hope you did this morning and continue to in the days ahead. I had this IMPACT magizine story in my notes for my Saturday night speech but totally omitted it, oops. Ya'll (not you alls) were a tuff crowd (haha). May blessing flow to all that read this blog.
