Here I am! I was getting ready to jog on a Canadian Trail in Duncan, BC.

Hello, my name is Kimberly, also known as Miss Kimberly Joy, and I moved to Los Angeles, California from Montreal, Quebec with my husband.
My
husband was lucky, he was asked to work so his social network was
already in the works. As for me, I wasn’t allowed to work and I was a little
afraid to go outside by myself. You can’t have a social or a business network
if you don’t get out of your comfort zone. But of course, I got bored so I
decided to sit in the park and read. I actually did a silent prayer hoping that
someone would at least come up and say hi to me. So never be afraid to talk to
people. They may be asking for someone like you to come into their lives. And
that’s exactly what happened. This person asked me if I was interested in
fitness and having a shake and I said yes. I signed up for a membership but I
never really got started in building a brand for myself even though this is
what I wanted. Eventually, I forgot about that business opportunity and I was
allowed to work. I let my membership expire and then found myself wondering,
why am I still getting paid $14 an hour as a preschool teacher when I’m more
than qualified? The kids love me, the parents love me, the teachers respect me
and I’m not saying I should be paid more than the senior teachers but let’s be
honest, I wasn’t getting paid what I was worth. I figured maybe I should just
shut-up and suck it up and just do what was expected. I’m a loud and colorful
creature and I will never let anyone tell me to be anything but.
After two years of working for child care centers that zapped my
creativity, I decided, this was enough. I had student tuition to pay and it
ain’t cheap when you’re considered an international student. I was tired of my
boss telling me no for time off so I could travel with my husband. I had to
look hard at myself in the mirror and ask, is this what you really want? To work to
pay bills and die? Don’t you want to be part of something bigger? I was always
great in gym class in high school and loved how the class was set up. There were no desks, you
didn’t have to chain yourself to a desk. There was a ton of space were you can
run around and play and found out it was good for your overall health. I want
to be happy, I want to laugh, I want to be an inspiration.
Even if you’re not a
great speaker, we can help you with that. Even if you’re feeling unsure and
blue, with our plans and motivation we can pull through it together. Don’t do
what I did, don’t waste your time thinking, “I should be doing it this way.”
No, you shouldn’t be in debt, no, you shouldn’t have high cholesterol. No, you
shouldn’t be so stressed out at work that you end up getting an ulcer or
getting addicted to crappy food that temporarily fills you up and masks it’s
poison with happiness.
No, you deserve better. I moved here for a better life! And you can do this in any of the 90 countries as well! Are
you ready? Then let’s get started! You’ll never see a job interview that’s as
amazing as this one.
Update 1:
My husband gets to travel. Why
can’t I have that to? Do I need to get a Ph.D in Health Economics to do it? No,
I can do it right here with Herbalife. I have conversational skills, I have
computer and social media skills, I have the will for a healthier lifestyle and
that’s all you really need.
I hope this post helped you feel inspired.
Take care and toodles Xox
