TOWNSVILLE BUSINESSPEOPLE YOU SHOULD KNOW
MICHAEL SLOGGETT From little things, big things grow. Just ask multiple business owner Michael Sloggett, whose hard work and passion is an inspiration to others. Dedicated to providing Townsville with the best nutritional products on the planet, Michael Sloggett is a firm believer in adding value to people’s lives. “Meeting one-on-one to consult and write an action plan to help a client take their goals by the horns really excites me,” says Michael, who is the CEO and founder of Second To None Nutrition as well as director of Golds Gym Townsville. “Helping that customer get exactly what they want out of life will always be my passion. There’s no better feeling in the world.” It’s a massive year for Michael, with the opening of the new Golds Gym on Dalrymple Road and multiple Second to None stores on the cards. His role as a marketing director for WorldVentures is also rapidly expanding. “WorldVentures is about helping people get more fun and fulfilment in their lives with vacation and entertainment memberships,” Michael says. “Speaking in front of 6500 people in Thailand last year about creating financial freedom with WorldVentures was a real high point for me.” Michael credits his mother for his boundless energy and enthusiastic attitude. “I come from a single-parent home with just me and my sister. My mother was adopted so our family tree consists of only two people, but I believe those two branches are stronger than other people’s entire forests,” Michael says. “We never had much but we always had everything we needed. Mum worked harder than anyone I know and I think I get a lot of my work ethic from her. I also get inspiration from people like Robert Kiyosaki and Anthony Robbins. I believe being inspired is one thing, but having a coach to help put that inspiration into practice is another.” Originally from Sydney, Michael came to Townsville with the military and fell in love with the place. He’s now settled with his “amazing partner” Teegan and two “beautiful children” William and Emilia. For others like Michael, who are always looking to network and connect with like-minded people, he has this message: “If you’re hungry, dedicated and wanting more then we should talk. The best business partners in the world I’ve found through basic networking and, with this alone, I’ve been able to create something from nothing.” Second to None Nutrition Cnr Thuringowa Drive & Charles Street Kirwan 4723 4491 12 Village Drive Idalia 4729 1963 11c West St Mount Isa 4749 0803 Email michael@stn.net.au www.facebook.com/secondtononenutritionaustralia www.secondtononenutrition.com
