Gothenburg!

I'm expanding my business to a second city: Gothenburg!
I have been there for several of days, and things are looking good!

YAY!!!

I will tell you more ASAP!

Oh, I'm climbing the career ladder with Herbalife, as of tomorrow I'm at the second step, which gives me all kinds of benefits. Instead of a 25 percent margin, I get 35 percent! How awesome is this?! I'd say: VERY!

STS in Malmö!

Oh my sweeties, life is very very very good right now.

I've listened to a bunch of succesful, ambitious people yesterday. They took matters in own hands, and are now happier than ever. I admire people who don't whine, but take action!

I mean, seriously, I'm a bad-ass journalist. You can't sell me crap. I hate that. But I was truly impressed by the stories yesterday, at the succes training seminar by Herbalife in Malmö. I mean, just because I endorse Herbalife to my clients, it doesn't mean I'm Herbalife's slave.
But credit should be given where credit is due, and yesterday was a biiig inspiration for all lazy bastards out there who want to become thinner, healthier, more succesful, but don't know how.

The key is what you WANT TO DO IN LIFE. Nobody can determine for you what is right or wrong, or clever or stupid. You can only go one way, and that is your way.

Whoop whoop! Pharmacies suck, Herbalife rules!

"I have been using medicine for my colon for the past thirty years. Nothing has worked. After two days of using Herbalife, I feel good again. I haven't felt this good in a long time!"

Yes, people. This is true. This is what one of my dear clients told me today!

Feedback from my clients

After one and a half week with just replacing his breakfast with the shake, my father has lost four kilo. If he'd drink more water, and NOT eat so much cinammon buns, it would go quicker. But hey, who am I to judge? I want to be a coach, not a police officer.

Another client said that she feels 'more awake' now. Yes, when we change our unhealthy habits into good ones, it is as if our bodies give us the signals we need the most, first. She started two days ago, so I will call her tonight, and see if her body is already loosing its fluids it has been holding on to.

When you change the way you eat and start using Herbalife, your body realizes it is safe to get rid of all the water it has been holding on to as an emergency stock. We are a lot like camels in that way.

I remember how liberated I felt in my first Herbalife week. I felt lighter. My mood got lighter too, actually. I honestly believe we get fat due to unsolved emotional luggage. And negativity is also stored in our cells. When the fat and the water is released, emotional luggage goes with it.

Tourism and business

Yay, travelling Skåne is great! Lots of lovely people, lovely views, and lovely opportunities to spread my Herbalife flyers!

Everything is so cute, lovely and incredibly green. I love it here. I love it so much.
Everytime I'm outside, I feel my soul heal bit by bit. *Bliss*

New clients!

So I have two brand new clients, with brand new ambitions and brand new hope!

They had both tried Herbalife twenty years ago, but were completely abandoned by their distributors, so they gained the lost weight quickly again.

I managed to gain their trust, thank goodness, so they are bracing themselves for a new life!

I will call them Ellen and Anna to protect their privacy.

Ellen is a hard working woman, with a very, very demanding job. Since this is a small town I can't even tell you her occupation, then the locals who read this would immediately know who she is. Anyway, like many others, she has been on diets all her adult life. She is 60 now, and is obese. She can barely walk and I can tell that she feels dissapointed with herself. She has managed to handle things that are more difficult than most could imagine, but her weight is an ongoing battle. She really blames herself for this.

Anna is 61, and only needs to lose 5 kilo to reach her ideal BMI weight. She falls for temptation and persuasion easily, and when she stands on her scale, she feels anger, sadness and she keeps thinking 'why the hell can't I manage to lose these extra kilos? Why not?!'

In other words: her friday morning is never a happy one. She dreads that day and that morning. She says she feels great agony after she has seen her weight, that seems to slap her in the face.

I ordered her to put away the scale, since this kind of unhappiness will NOT give her a great, relaxing weekend she needs.

How come we can feel more understanding and compassionate towards our friends than towards ourselves?

I will tell you about Ellen and Anna's journey on this blog, and I know there will only be bright moments. Some moments will be hard, but never again sad and frustrating. They will do just fine, they just don't know it yet.

So many ways to Rome!

Do you know what I stopped doing a long time ago?
Putting all my money on one horse. Or more clearly put: earn money from just one place.

At this moment I am making ten colourful boxes as a branding/marketing statement for my wellness coaching.

The first one is almost finished, I will show you later. On the front I'll write a text such as "get into shape for this summer" or "Change your life, change your breakfast" or something like that.
On the side I'll make a sleeve with little cards where people can fill out their contact information and put into the box. Cute, I know!

I want to have ten of such boxes, spread in this region. And another ten in Malmö, and another ten in Gothenburg.
Why? Because this method has been proven to attract curious potential customers, and it is in fact a passive income.

So what are you going to do this evening?

How to enjoy mama's good food without gaining weight!

Life is about choices.

If you want to have the cake and eat it, that is possible, but you WILL suffer the consequences.

I know, I know, life has so much yummy things to offer. Especially now when I'm temporarily living with my parents again, and get to enjoy my mom's lovely greasy, fattening, amazing cooking, I notice that breakfast, lunch AND dinner will take their toll. Quickly.

So starting from day one -two days ago- I deliberately CHOOSE to only drink the Herbalife shake as breakfast and lunch.

My breakfast looks like this:

2 cups of coffee while I enjoy the view of the harbor on the balcony. When I'm done talking to the pigeons and seagulls, I go inside, and I make my morning shake.

I take two generous table spoons of the shake, vanilla flavoured is my favorite, and mix it with milk. I go back to the balcony and I sip it slowly while I plan my day.

During the day I drink green tea or Chai, then around two pm I take the shake again.

That way I get to scoop up an extra piece of meat and enjoy that real gravy, without feeling guilty for one second. After all, I know that tomorrow, I will replace two meals with the shake again.

Life's good.

So remember: Make choices!! Don't fool yourself by just drinking the shake every now and then and think that you will lose weight.

to lose weight takes real DETERMINATION! And STUBBORNESS! Succes doesn't come easy you know.

My dad who is my newest customer, thinks that he can continue his fattening eating habits and lose weight if he just drinks a glass of the Herbalife shake a day.

Well I helped him out of that dream!

And now I can break that illusion for you too: please don't waste your own time with continue eating normally with just a little of the Herbalife shake every now and then.
I'd rather have you save that money and just continue your unhealthy habits. It won't change anything, besides your waist size in time.

Migration!

Dear friends, tonight I fly back home to Sweden.

I've experienced wonderful adventures here in the Netherlands for ten years now.

And now it is time to end this chapter, and start a new one. In Ystad, Sweden!

See you at the other side of the north sea!
