CAN YOU HAVE IT ALL ? completing his unpaid student teaching work . They felt “ alone and small .” It was also at this time that Karli signed up for her first round of Diamond Club , which required a lot of time teaching and traveling , but they believed firmly they could do it . With the whole family on board , they were able to grow . Looking back , Karli feels all the effort she put in at that time was worth it , because it helped her and Cort get to where they are today .

Karli believes you can ! Here ’ s her practical advice for stay-at-home parents who want to build a business :
“ To all the moms struggling to be the Wellness Advocate you know you ’ re meant to be and the perfect wife , mom , chef , maid , laundress , professional organizer , and chauffeur , take off some of those hats ! Balance comes in unexpected ways , but what I ’ ve noticed is if I let my kids wear the maid hat , my two oldest children who can drive put on the chauffeur hat , and my husband wears the chef hat at least twice a week , then I get to be a Wellness Advocate , a wife , and a mom .”
But Cort and Karli haven ’ t just had to believe in themselves . They ’ ve also had to believe in their team members . It ’ s through working with their leaders that they ’ ve truly progressed . While Karli and Cort were working toward becoming Canadian Founders , they focused on building up their team . Karli remembers , “ I just kept scheduling classes with people in my downline whenever and wherever I could , helping them reach their goals .” Karli and Cort have made a commitment to their builders to help them succeed . In time , they ’ ve found that by helping each other , everyone on their team benefits .
Believing in yourself is a crucial part of building a business — a necessary step that must be taken before you can truly believe in and support your team . Cort and Karli ’ s message to their team is , “ Sometimes it ’ s difficult to push away doubts , but know that you have an entire community supporting you and cheering you on .” Even though the journey hasn ’ t been easy , Cort and Karli believing in themselves and their team — while committing to the work — has helped them achieve incredible success . They continue to push themselves forward by focusing on the next summit and making their way to the top , no matter how many attempts it takes .
