GOFF<br />

FAMILY HAS ALWAYS BEEN FRONT<br />

AND CENTER IN MICHAEL GOFF’S<br />

LIFE. Growing up as a bigger kid in<br />

Tennessee, Michael’s older brother,<br />

Chris, taught him how to eat right<br />

and get in shape. He went on to<br />

study nutrition and fitness because<br />

of his brother’s influence, and in<br />

2<strong>00</strong>8, Michael joined the staff at<br />

his brother’s gym. But due to a<br />

tough economy, Michael had to get<br />

part-time work to make ends meet.<br />

“I didn’t think anything of it because<br />

I was always taught to work hard.<br />

I did that for two years until my<br />

friend passed away,” he explains.<br />

“I started looking at my life and<br />

thinking, ‘There has to be a better<br />

way than working 80 hours a week.’”<br />

In 2010 his brother introduced him<br />

to another facet of nutrition and<br />

wellness: AdvoCare. But being<br />

the stubborn younger brother,<br />

Michael shut him down. After a<br />

few more tries, he agreed to go<br />

to a Mixer (a small group meeting)<br />

to support his brother. He began<br />

using AdvoCare products, and<br />

continued his active fitness and<br />

diet regimen, and loved his weightloss<br />

results. Ten months later, he<br />

decided to focus on AdvoCare’s<br />

business opportunity after<br />

attending National Success School.<br />

“I absolutely love meeting people<br />

face-to-face,” he explains. “I think<br />

communication is a lost art in<br />

today’s social media age, so 1-on-1<br />

meetings are my favorite way to meet<br />

people and introduce AdvoCare.”<br />

A year-and-a-half later, after<br />

countless 1-on-1’s and three-way<br />

conference calls, he made the choice<br />

to walk away from his job at the gym<br />

and focus on AdvoCare full time.<br />

“I learned more about myself and<br />

more about people during that<br />

first year with AdvoCare than I<br />

did in school,” says Michael. “You<br />

have to learn how to deal with<br />

rejection and how to talk to people.<br />

Before AdvoCare, I had a wall up. I<br />

thought I was perfect at everything.”<br />

Michael knew he made the right<br />

decision when he was able to surprise<br />

his dad and the rest of his family in<br />

Tennessee and stay for a month.<br />

“That was the first time in my life I<br />

saw him cry,” Michael says. Today,<br />

Michael and his brother spend their<br />

days helping others and enriching<br />

their communities with AdvoCare.<br />
