Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristen Gonzalez.
Kristen, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
While teaching elementary school, planning a wedding, teaching Sunday school and adjusting to a new state, I found myself mentally and physically exhausted. I was gettin “fluffy” and not happy with myself. I knew I needed a lifestyle change so I tried many health and wellness products, the coffee and soda wasn’t cutting it as far as my energy. Insert thrive.
With a busy life, I needed something simple and effective. I loved that thrive provided me over 100 different vitamins, minerals, probiotics, prebiotics, and so much more in just three simple steps; capsules, a lifestyle mix and dft foam adhesive.
My first day of taking my premium vitamins was a Friday at the end of the school year, aka teachers are DONE. On my way to work, I felt like someone changed my life from black and white to color. I was singing and having a party in my car at 6:30 in the morning, I was focused all day and came home after work and went to the gym! I knew I needed this every day. Fast forward, I was sleeping better, my back wasn’t hurting anymore, I was losing weight and felt the best I ever had in my life! People were noticing too. They asked what I was doing and I shared with them.
Before I knew it, I had hit a bonus and earned myself over $600 in just $800 in online orders, then I earned another $399 and hit the first rank in our company in 30 days. Within 60 days, I earned my car bonus! Only the 2nd rank in the company. Within five months, I earned a free vacation provided by the company. Things were moving fast and I loved helping others with their health. In the 8th month of starting in my company, I was able to replace my teaching income, where I put in my resignation notice and stepped away. I knew teaching would always be there. A time like that in my company would NOT always be there. I had to go all in!
That I did. I went on a mission sharing my passion! Things moved quick and within 18 months of sharing these amazing products, our team hit the top rank of the company. We were doing over $200,000 in online orders each month.
Here we are four years later. We have over 6,800 promoters and 45,000 customers. There are 95 people under me who are getting their cars paid each month too. I’ve been on 14 earned FREE vacations to places like Cabo, Toronto, Puerto Vallarta, Punta Cana, etc. We have sold over 12 million dollars in product in just four short years. Our team has earned over 2 million dollars in FREE products. Our team has earned themselves over 5 million dollars in bonus commissions. Three people on our team and myself are on our way to accepting the millionaire award for one million in lifetime commissions.
I can’t believe how quick all of this has happened. And I love that so many people on my team are ALL winning! I absolutely love what we represent and can’t wait to see what 2020 holds for us!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
What road is truly “smooth”? This has definitely been an emotional roller coaster. The excitement of growing so quick has contributed to constant growth, but of course there are bumps in the road.
One struggle was putting aside what other people think. They will have opinions and y’all no matter what. So why not give them something to talk about, right? Being in an industry where you are talking to your friends and family can be touchy. Especially about their health. But as soon as I didn’t care what they thought and I knew I was coming from a place of love, that when things exploded.
Some people may say this is a struggle, but I didn’t think so because I LOVED talking about thrive was going all in! Like I said, I was a 3rd-grade teacher, cheer coach, Sunday school teacher, planning a wedding, trying to buy a house, and adapting to a new state where I knew literally one person, took a lot of time. I could have used that as an excuse, but I didn’t. It was my WHY. I spent every spare moment sharing what I loved! You may feel like you’re sacrificing time, but I rather compound a short amount of time and build up residual income so later I can have the finances to spend the time doing what I really want to do and create options for my family!
Understand that people come and go. In my industry, I sign a lot of people. Some do a little, but Little do a lot. Knowing it’s a numbers game is huge. People will be all in, then disappear. It’s just how it works. Love everyone where they are! You may lose some of your key players, but stick it out and it will pay off!!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Le-vel Thrive – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
I help others live a life they deserve! We are the #1 health and wellness movement in America. Our simple 3 step nutritional system aids in more energy, less inflammation, mental clarity, sleep support, joint support, immune support, weight management, PH balance, digestive support and so much more! I say we give hope! Hope back to moms who just are exhausted. Hope to those who feel like they have lost themselves. Hope to people who lost control of their health or weight. Hope to those wanting to build lean muscle and tone in the gym.
We are known for our simplicity and effectiveness. This really sets us apart. First thing when you wake up, you take just two capsules. 20 minutes later, you drink a yummy lifestyle mix. Finally, you slap on a DFT, dermafusion technology foam adhesive and you are DONE! This gives you the vitamins and minerals you need for the day. Unfortunately, our food in America is just not nutrient dense anymore and thrive fills those gaps. Even if you eat super clean, most likely you aren’t getting everything you need. With daily detox, you notice a difference quick! You actually feel your vitamins working. We are nonGMO, gluten-free, grown in the US and don’t have fillers.
On the business side, we are proud to say we provide a free opportunity to create options for your family. No website fees, no sign up fees, no annual or monthly fees, no buying bulk inventory. Everything is cloud-based. That means more money into the quality of our products and the pocket of our promoters! You can even earn your products free with just two referrals. This is for customers as well! Our car bonus provides $300/month for the car you drive now or $800/$1600 a month for a Cadillac, Lexus, BMW, mercades, Tesla, Audi, or certain trucks. You can earn three free vacations a year with airfare for you AND a guest. With zero risk, why not give it a shot?
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I look forward to continue to build an empire, helping as many other people along the way. When I help enough other people, I will be rewarded in return. This year, 2020 my goals are to add five more top rank leaders in my organization, four new personal auto bonus earners, achieve the LV millionaire award myself and have one person in my organization hit it as well. I know I will be sure to qualify for all three free vacations this year and have the biggest turn out from my team there too. I can’t wait to see what new products the company launches and continue to build our CBD skincare line. This year is going to be epic!! Who is coming with me?
