We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Samantha Cox a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Samantha thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you get your first job in the field that you practice in today?
I always say, I didn’t find thrive. Thrive found me.
I was 27 years old. I was a salon owner with a 4 year old and a 2 year old. My husband was a firefighter, and I was basically the definition of exhaustion! I was not looking for a new business. I was desperately searching for energy! I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was hitting the snooze button too many times, running late, drinking too much coffee and eating too much fast food. I was always late to everything, and I was failing as a mom. When I went to work, I would give my clients the very best version of me…and when I returned home in the evenings, my poor family got the WORST version of me. I knew it was time for a change!
When thrive found me, I heard that it was a product that could give you energy. I did not even realize it was 3 simple steps, something I could complete before my kids woke up. I did not realize it was “wearable nutrition”. I did not know much, but what I did know…is that it could give me energy. Say no more!
I immediately started to feel better on day 3 of my thrive experience. I started to sleep better at night. I was having more patience with my family. My husband was wondering where his wife went…considering I was deep cleaning and organizing every closet in the house. I just felt GOOD. I got my happy back, and I didn’t realize I had even lost it! When I started to feel AND look better, people were noticing! Happiness is contagious, believe it or not! Everyone was asking what was different, and I couldn’t stop talking about it! THAT is how I started with my job!
I clicked that button to “become a promoter” and my life has never been the same. I went from helping people feel good on the outside (with their hair), to helping people feel good on the OUTSIDE! What an incredible job opportunity! I simply share the thrive experience with everyone, and I get to help them change their lives. After 5 years of thriving in Ohio, the thrive experience was the vehicle we used to sell the salon, pack our things, and move to Arizona! I retired from the hair salon and I am a full time health and wellness promoter with thrive products! I had NO intentions, let alone time (I thought) to own and operate ANOTHER company…but I will never regret jumping in feet first!
Not only do I get to live the life that I deserve…but my family gets the BEST of me. Not what’s REST of me.
Samantha, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
The amazing thing about thrive…is it’s innovative technology. Thrive is 3 simple steps that are designed to help you fill YOUR nutritional gaps. Every body is different, so I get to help you decide how those 3 steps should be customized for YOU.
One of my favorite things about the thrive experience, is that it’s SIMPLE. 2 Capsules first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, then a lifestyle mix that you drink 20 minutes later, and then a DFT (derma fusion technology) which is basically a sticker with time released vitamins, that you wear all day! Super simple and fun, and you don’t have to remember to take anything before or after any other meal. You just complete your thrive experience first thing in the morning, and it works ALL DAY!
Thrive helps with energy, weight management, mental clarity, focus, stress management, joint support, patience & SO MUCH MORE. I will never forget tucking in my 4 year old daughter on day 4 of my thrive experience, and she said, “Mommy, are you going to be this happy tomorrow?” I mean…how in the world could I stop thriving after that!? Not only was i taking care of my body for the first time, ever…I was also giving my kids their MOM back! Over 7 years of using these 3 simple steps…my kids will never remember when I was a “mombie”, always yelling at them and running late. They will remember the FUN mom.
Thrive is NOT just for women either. Thrive is a product for women AND men. My husband has been a faithful thriver with me, just as long, and he won’t go a day without it! Not only did it give him HIS energy and mood back…we became the BEST team for our kids. They get to see us living our best lives and taking care of our bodies as examples for what they should do. It truly is something that benefits the entire family!
How do you keep your team’s morale high?
One of my FAVORITE things to do as a team leader, is host leadership retreats. I challenge and reward my team with leader retreats! Sometimes we will get an AIR BNB and spend a weekend there, sometimes I simply host them in my home. The point isn’t where you host it, it’s THAT you host it! During these retreats, we talk about what’s holding us back, or what our fears are. We talk about our futures and how to overcome obstacles to get where we want to be. We DREAM together, and hold each other accountable. It is the absolute best way to pour into them and let them know they are important to me! I highly recommend hosting something similar and I am absolutely happy to help you organize something…It’s my FAV!
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
Not only would I ABSOLUTELY do this all over again, I would do it sooner!
