It’s about saying goodbye to something that’s been part of my life for so long, but also about embracing an exciting new future. But I learned to keep going, even when it felt impossible.

Day 4/11 – Just One Of The Many Betrayals That Hurt! Life and business are journeys marked by unexpected twists and daunting challenges, and over the past 15 years, building The New You Plan has been no exception. Throughout this time, I’ve faced betrayals and setbacks that tested my resolve, but each challenge has been an opportunity to grow stronger and more committed to our vision. This blog post offers a glimpse into that journey, highlighting the resilience and determination that have not only shaped me as a person but also empowered our community to transform their lives. Join me as I reflect on these experiences and celebrate the power of persistence and the promise of transformation for everyone on the New You journey. Over the past 15 years, The New You Plan has grown into something truly special – but I’ll be honest, it hasn’t been an easy journey. Running a business (just like weight loss) is full of highs and lows, and it has taught me so much about resilience, perspec...

Day 3/11 – Are You Willing To Pay The Price For Your Dreams?! Today I want to talk about BEING WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE FOR YOUR DREAMS.  One thing I’ve learned in life is this:  if you want to create a big transformation, you have to be willing to pay the price and make sacrifices. That’s true for business, weight loss, skin care or any big goal you want to achieve. But here’s the empowering part:  you get to choose how and when to pay that price. Anything you want to achieve means you have to do things you don’t want to do – when I committed to looking after my skin, it didn’t matter how tired I felt, I had to cleanse and moisturise every night, and put my SPF on every morning. Thankfully now – my skin is the best it has been in years!  When I started The New You Plan 15 years ago, I worked from the moment I woke up to the moment I went to bed, 7 days a week. It wasn’t easy, but I knew what I was working toward. The sacrifices I made then – the long hours, th...

Day 2/11 – Why The New You Plan Continues to Thrive Today I want to tell you all about the 2 main reasons why I believe The New You Plan has been able to thrive for 15 years while many of our competitors have folded…. Over the last 15 years, I’ve watched so many competitors come and go. While some diet businesses have faded, The New You Plan has grown stronger – and I truly believe there are two main reasons why. Reason 1:  I Am My Customer From the very beginning, I’ve felt a deep connection with every single customer. I relate to every story, every struggle, and every triumph because I’ve been through so many of those same experiences myself. So many of my competitors where owned by a group of men who sat around a board table. They has no connection to the customer, where as I feel like I am my customer – I see myself in every customer. I know what it’s like to battle with my weight, to have life throw curve ball after curve ball at me, to make progress and then lose myself...
