This blog features Shane Krider interviewing his wife Rachel Krider, about how she knew the personal development business was right for her. As a continuation of a previous blog, please see below for more of Rachel Krider’s insights about the personal development business.
Shane Krider
It’s possible and it’s about finding the thing that can provide it. You found your way to this business and Lee Anne found her way to this business. Success is possible and big success is possible, but you have to be in something that can actually have the outcome. It’s got to be able to produce the numbers at the end of the day when you put the effort in on the front end. Not all businesses are geared like that.
You worked hard in the MLM company and that didn’t happen for you. Lee Anne worked hard in the franchise, but that didn’t happen for her. Andrew is a very successful chiropractor, but the business just isn’t set up in a functional way to actually allow that type of an outcome. So would you say that it’s just a case of setting your goal and then finding the vehicle that can actually get you there versus the alternative, which is to look around what most people are doing and then setting your goal from that?
Rachel Krider
Yeah, totally. I think that most people — and I’ve been guilty of this too — lower their goals because can knock you around.
Shane Krider
You get downsized and all of a sudden your income goal drops a little bit more, you get downsized again and pretty soon you’re shooting for the bottom.
Rachel Krider
Yeah, as opposed to staying open to the magic of the universe. So if you keep setting your goals and keeping the potentiality open, then continuing to search though if you’re not searching, you’re not going to find anything.
Shane Krider
You’ve got to get out there and find it and once you find it what do you do?
Rachel Krider
Then you work your butt off. This is why you’ve got to choose to align yourself with a product even if you weren’t going to be making any money from an opportunity from the business, you would still use the product. That’s what I did with this business when I partnered with you. I was already doing personal development because it was already a huge passion.
Shane Krider
Yeah, wouldn’t I buy the product if there was no opportunity.
Rachel Krider
Absolutely. That has to align.
Shane Krider
I got started in my first opportunity with a discount travel program and it was awesome. I mean, who doesn’t want to save money on travel? Well, that was right before Travelocity and Expedia came and dominated the market, so timing wasn’t that great. But I thought there was an opportunity and certainly that played into my decision, but the reality is that I wanted that product.
Certainly making money in a business will allow me to do the traveling which will allow me to have the discounts and get the value on the product, but for me it was a point of personal integrity to represent a product that I wanted to represent. As much as we talk about the money, it was important to connect meaningfully to the product and see the value there too.
Rachel Krider
I remember when I was making my decision whether to get started or not to get started in your company. I remember speaking with Michael, the gentleman who interviewed me, and I said that I knew the product, I was already doing personal development, but I wasn’t achieving the results that I wanted to achieve.
And he said to me that the best way he can describe it is that it will help me to identify, and then either remove or limit my beliefs that were holding me back. And I told him I’ve got a whole bunch of those beliefs, and I wanted the product.
