I recently surveyed my network to get a clearer idea as to what is most important to them at their stage in life.
First a bit of context; 62% of the respondents were between the age of 51-60, so smack dab in the middle of midlife.
Results of the survey were as follows:
When asked “What’s most important to you” - 75% said family and 62.5% said a healthy lifestyle/comfortable retirement.
When asked “What stresses you out” - 57% said aging parents and 28.6% said money/health issues.
Anyone else see a common theme? Can you relate?
I certainly can. I started on this journey with Arbonne first as a client looking for ways to have a healthier lifestyle because I saw my parents aging what seemed like overnight. I was in my early fifties and knew now was the time to get serious about my health if I wanted to be active later in life! The 30 days to Health Living program was the catalyst to help me on that journey.
Not only was my health on my radar, I also knew that my retirement plan was woefully underfunded, I still had student loan debt and somehow my credit card balances continued to increase even though I had a good paying full time job. Does this sound at all familiar?
So after going through the 30 days and using many of Arbonne’s other products and learning more about their commitment to providing quality products, sustainability and protecting the environment, I knew I needed to explore the business opportunity! This was my solution to the financial challenges I shared above! (to see what’s typical visit earnings.arbonne.com)
You may be asking, that’s all well and good but what does this have to do with me? If you are reading my blog, I am going to go out on a limb and say you too are smack dap in the middle of midlife. Am, I right? As such, based on the results of the survey I am going to guess much of what I shared resonates with you at some level. Yes? The question is, will you continue doing what you have always done or will you choose differently? Whether it is taking control of your health or your finances or both - now is the time to take action. Just one step is all it takes, will you take it?
