Network Marketing Changed my Story

How to have it All? Is Network Marketing the answer?

A conversation with a mom of three, military spouse and successful business owner.

Marrying her college sweetheart straight out of college, Christie Nix, Isagenix leader, was unprepared for what life had in store for her as a military spouse. Early on it became apparent that the military governed her life, “My husband was given orders and we all followed. I felt like my only option was to be a stay-at-home mom to maintain the standards we envisioned for our family. All the while feeling like I was created to do more but I didn’t know how. Network marketing changed my story.”

For the past three years, Christie has committed herself to creating the life she dared to dream she could have. In the first year of focusing on herself and her business she tripled her salary, she built a team of dedicated sales associates and relieved the financial stress on her husband while he served on active duty.

Today we’re going to find out how.

Diving straight in, on your blog Christie, you talk about how you used to be a sacrificial mom and wife, and that especially as a military spouse you felt like you had no option but to be a stay-at-home mom. What was the spark that made you realize or dare to dream that you could follow your dreams too?

Good question. The first step for me was learning to not compare myself to others. It allowed me to finally take the plunge and start my business. I am a work in progress but it’s that desire to grow and stop comparing myself that allowed me to build the life that I have now.

I believe that my husband was chosen for me and he is the person I was supposed to be with. And so, in no way do I resent our life or all the places it has taken me. But, with that life came standards for our family and I felt that to maintain these standards it was best for me to stay at home, run the household and raise our children. I felt very limited and I knew that in some ways I placed those limitations on myself. I didn’t want an office job because when my husband is home from active service, I want to spend all of what little time he has with us together.

But, I started noticing all these women around me who seemed to have it all: they worked out, ran their business, looked so together, had the energy to see friends and still looked after their family—as soon as I stopped comparing myself to them I realized I didn’t want to be them, I wanted to join them.

Forcing myself to stop comparing myself to others, I realized that anyone who is successful is successful because they have worked hard and their success is a measure of their effort and past experiences.

Life as a military spouse, it’s difficult for me to even comprehend how your life must be affected by daily stress and worry from so many different angles. Did it help you when you were starting to build your business?

There have been seasons as a military spouse that were more difficult than others, challenging me to stay committed to anything other than waiting for that time to pass, maybe even sleep until it was all over….but it was my passions that pulled me out.

The military and being a Christian, both are a large part of who I am. Those two aspects of my life forced me to find hope and focus on what is actually important. My husband was injured once and sent home early from his deployment. The stories he tells me of the horrible things he has seen…and knowing that he’s alive right now when it could be so much worse… It puts your life into stark relief and helps you realize that your time is so important and so you have to prioritize your time on what is actually going to make a difference.

I looked at my life and knew I wanted to still be a stay-at-home mom to take care of my kids, to still have time freedom to be with my husband when he is home from deployment and be able to earn enough money that we wouldn’t have any financial stress. No one joins the military for the money, and I didn’t want my husband to be worrying about our three kids and their college tuition when he has more important things to focus on. Isagenix (a health and wellness network marketing company) has allowed me to earn from home so my husband can relax.

Isagenix has given us control of our future.
