C: Where did the vision to create Isagenix come from? K: I was a dental hygienist for 18 years and I was looking for a
way out at the time. I decided to join a network marketing company back in 1992. I believe this was the best decision of my life. From there, I built three large organizations to record breaking success. I learned so much from those builds. Then, in 2002 we launched Isagenix, which is the pinnacle of perfection in network marketing; a company that is all about the people. It’s been a ride that’s been so much fun and I’m enjoying every minute of it.
C: When you were working for other companies before you started your own, what were some key attributes that you learned or developed? K: My biggest fear in life was speaking in front of the room publicly. I think that’s a lot of people’sbiggest fear and I had to get
over it. I had to practice in front of the bathroom mirror and I learned to speak and explain a compensation plan. It’s been quite a journey. The personal growth has been fantastic and that’s what I love about this profession.
C: Prior to starting Isagenix, did you have a mentor or someone prevalent in your life that helped you get over any fears or internal struggles that were holding you back from being successful? K: My husband has always been my mentor. He saw the greatness
in me before I saw that greatness. He always encouraged me, but it took him eight years talking to me about it before I jumped in. Then, I didn’t get other mentors, I got coaches. I found business coaches really to help me take it to the next level. We all need coaches. The ones that I had were mostly men. I’ve never had a woman mentor. That’s why I want to become such a great mentor to so many women. I think it’s so needed.
