A Little Clarification

Happy Tuesday!  The other day I wrote a post with notes I started after I finished reading the book The Happiness Project.  It's really a great book!  There were two things that I had wrote that needed a little more written out about.  

The first one is not feeling right about working with GNC 100%.  Here is what has been on my mind:


  • GNC pays me right now.  I'm doing better at the job which means more hours.
  • My boss seems to really like me.  She said I'm her lead.  She trusts me and knows she can rely on me and depend on me.  That makes me feel really good.  I've never been in that position before.
  • The job itself is easy.  However, there's also not very much foot traffic.  But that's mostly because not many people know the store is there yet because it is so new.
  • It's going to help me pay my school bills.
  • I like the people I work with.
  • It takes out my time that I want to do with Nerium.  I miss out on a lot of meetings.  
  • The boss said I can have a demo out front while I'm working, though, for Nerium.  That is so darn cool.
  • I get experience using a lot of the knowledge I gained from going to school for so long.
  • It's very supplement based.  
  • It's sales... And I'm required to meet certain goals.  It makes it fun and I have to learn faster, but I don't want to be in that position.
  • The corporate side of the company seems really uptight.  I understand a lot of it, but again, I don't want to be in that position.  I don't like how they can't trust employees 100%.  Like I said, I can understand it to a point.  
I had also put that I'm not 100% feeling right about Nerium.  I actually lean towards Nerium more than GNC so it's not that I'm super doubtful... So, just, here is what I've been thinking:
  • I don't make any money yet from Nerium.
  • It's hard to get out there and meet people when I'm working at GNC all the time. 
  • It's not nutrition based at all.
  • It's a cruelty-free product.
  • I have the potential to make so much money and have my dreams come true.
  • I'd be able to have my own business with time to spend with my family, pick them up from the bus stop, no need for babysitters to pay.
  • More time at home for cleaning and what not.
  • I get to meet people and help them achieve goals they never thought they could accomplish.
  • I'm not working for some other company.  I'm working with them and for me.  That's really important.  
  • I'm growing so much with personal development it's just so amazing.
  • I love hearing Jeff Olson talk through my radio and phone! 
  • I'll have more time to work on my blog.
  • I'll accomplish more goals.
And that's just the start of it for Nerium lol!!  My conclusion that I've been having run through my head for awhile now is that I have to stick with GNC for now and don't give up on Nerium.  Find ways to make Nerium work around my GNC hours and keep doing great at GNC.  It does feel good to know that I'm doing so well at GNC and I know that I'll do great at Nerium.  It's just all taking a lot of time.  As it should, I suppose.  I am learning a lot through both companies.  I guess I'm just eager to be a leader and move forward with what I know will be more permanent.  I'm just so excited to move forward again with the things that I've always wanted to accomplish.  Like my blog, sharing veganism, YouTube videos, and so much more.  

So that's that for now.  I'm glad to have finally been able to write that down!  

If you have any questions or comments, please leave them down below!  I'm so eager to hear about what people are thinking about!
