Michelle Goh <strong>The</strong> idea of a product line that empowered Michelle to better her health and wellness seemed captivating. “I believed that if I liked the idea of being in control of my health and helping myself get better when I’m down with daily ailments, then the people around me would want this as well.” Malaysia, Michelle felt, was ripe for the picking. With unhealthy dietary habits and poor health issues, she realised ours was a society that appreciated helping ourselves whether through Internet research or sharing opinions with friends and family. “I took my health for granted in my early years, much the same as everyone else, but with age, little ailments become more frequent,” she explains. “My low immunity, frequent down days and my husband’s lack of quality sleep, got me to try a Young Living starter kit and I fell madly in love with Frankincense! It worked wonderfully for my husband and me, and I knew I had to share this!” “Two and half years later, I’m still sharing the goodness of the oils. It is completely gratifying to have people come back to me and tell me that the oils worked for them and that their health or their family’s health has improved so much since using the oils.” “This was the primary driver for the boom in my Young Living business,” explains Michelle, an avid animal lover with three rescued cats. “As the business grew exponentially, I decided to focus on this full time.” Michelle started out with Young Living at the end of 2014, and by 2015, she reached her first notable rank at Silver and progressed to Gold in 2016 and Platinum early this year. “Currently, I am a Platinum ranked distributor with a team of almost 3000 people, and I spend most of my time managing and leading the group with the help of my 19 Silver, Gold and Platinum leaders. In two years, we have grown so much that the numbers still astound me, and I am excited to see what 2018 has in store for us.” Much as any leader of a large business group structure, the day involves operational issues, projections, planning, strategies, brainstorming sessions and plenty of people management, since she is in the business of people and networking! “Today, I have achieved my highest income in my career to date,” she shares enthusiastically. “I have no bosses above me, and I lead my team with what I firmly believe is best for the business.” “Today, I have achieved my highest income in my career to date. I have no bosses above me, and I lead my team with what I firmly believe is best for the business.” DOING IT DIY STYLE While driving her business is the mainstay of her daily life, in the backroom of all the bustling activity is a DIY queen. “I have always been in love with DIY, and with Young Living, it opened up a whole new hobby for me,” she enthuses. “I now get to DIY my skincare, with the same ingredients as the over the counter skincare products, but without harsh chemicals and using more of the right ingredients, and at a fraction of what you pay elsewhere!” “My mum has always been creative, and I inherited her genes for sure,” she laughs. “She was always into crochet, macrame and can be deliciously creative in her cooking as well, sometimes despite the lack of ingredients!” Michelle feels creativity nourishes her soul and makes her happy. “With DIY skin care, there is that added satisfaction that the completed project is a product that is great for the skin, makes me beautiful and is cost-saving. Now, what is there not to like?” 21 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER <strong>2017</strong> | TM
