Working women's guide to having a work life balance.

Thank you so much Tee for allowing me to share your story with my followers! You have to hear her story I am sure many of you can relate to the "corporate world" and their friendly ways of operating! Well read below to find out more! My journey to "entrepreneurship"
I never tried to sum up my story on how I got started as a “mom”
entrepreneur, so this will be my first try.
My journey to being an entrepreneur was founded off of everything nontraditional. I have never been married
and I have been involved in two horrible relationships that both resulted in 3
beautiful children. I can remember in my
darkest times receiving ideas of me being this important person but I did not
take these ideas into account because I felt it was not applicable to me. In unprofessional terms, I felt like I was
shit and those ideas did not apply to me.
My work setting was just about
the same as my personal relationships….. Crappy! I can remember after having my son going back
to work to find that my boss had moved my cubicle under the exit sign in the
office. Not funny! Okay maybe a little funny.
More the less, I was looked at so bad because my life had took this nontraditional turn. To really get to how
I started, I did not start with money in the bank as a matter of fact I owed
the bank. I did not wait until my kids
were older because my son was 8 weeks old and my girls were both under the age
of 10. I did not start by doing a
pyramid type business, which there is nothing wrong with that, just not my
thing. I started when I was in the
process of not trying to go insane! I was at the gym working out because for so
long I had always found the gym as a place for me to think or process my pain
better. As I began to have new outlooks
of my situation and shooting down my thoughts of self-homicide, I began
thinking about becoming an entrepreneur. Why should I work for those awful
people? I began seeing visions of the same people who doubted me admiring me on
T.V. This vision fueled me even more!!!
I asked God, “What is it that I would be doing?” I had these visions but he did
not reveal “how.” Until one day while working out, this female bodybuilder
walked up to me and said, “Wow, what are you doing and whatever it is….. keep
it up!” That comment lead me to go home
and really think and when I say think….. I mean I was thinking. I thought myself to sleep that night to only
be awakened by an infomercial chanting my government name: Shantee pronounced “Shaun’
tee.” I could not believe what I was
hearing! The best way to describe it is
that I was having a Sherman Clump experience! I slowly made my way to the
living room with a bat of course and it was there I slowly sat on the couch to
hear all these testimonies about “Shantee.”
As my name continuously kept being repeated, I was thinking who the
“Shantee?” is. Towards the end, I found
out it was Shaun-T hip hop abs! I was relieved because I did not want to
experience no creepy television talking to me.
But it was there, I discovered I wanted to help women get over
adversities in their life and become the true woman they are meant to be. I
wanted to do this by way of fitness and taking self-control instead of losing
control of self. I began to go back to
school to obtain my Bachelors in Psychology (Spring 2013) and later my PHD in
Clinical Psychology. I am the current
owner of B4 Fitness and Maydog Promos Marketing Company and a mother of three
children two girls and one boy!

DON'T TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!
The reason I wanted to speak on this today is that in my health coaching online course this weekend I heard a story about a lady that was doing nothing with her life; was hooked on sugar; and had no direction. She said she got involved in becoming a health coach and it built confidence and gave her direction. Once her journey began just as mine did there were alot of people telling her no and that her ideas where not going to work. This brings me to my point. "what you believe you will achieve" we all know this to be true but I don't think many people have a clear understanding of this... I'm saying if you think you will never get a "yes" then you're correct. Just move forward and focus on the vision at hand they might say no to your crazy idea at first but if you show you have not stopped working towards your goals/ visions and that same no person comes back around they will end up wanting you more then you need them!NEVER TAKE NO AS AN ANSWER! No you can't do that; no you can't do this...
well I am here to tell you they are wrong!! YOU CAN! The answer is YES!!!

Mid morning snack
(Don't mind the rough look; JUST got done working out)
Blended up 3 strawberries
two scoops of strawberry GREEK yogurt
half a banana and
crushed ice with a splash of milk
(you can also use water but I'm new to the shake snacks so I'm not ready to be hard core yet lol)
The reason I put Greek in caps is because lots of yogurt has high fructose corn syrup and that's not very healthy it's an artificial sweeter and Greek yogurt doesn't have all the extra "stuff"
It was so yummy; perfect mid morning snack
*You can also replace this for a meal but make sure you add a protein power of some sort because a fruit shake is NOT a good way to replace a meal in my personal opinion!!
