DIAMOND CLUB SPOTLIGHT

SPRINTING THROUGH THE FINISH LINE

“ Diamond Club helped me become a leader who comes from a place of love. I found that when you are serving, success comes easily because your intentions are true, and people can feel it.”
Marie-Kim’ s Tips for Success:
1.“ Start strong the first month, and LRP should be your focus.”
2.“ Explain the points system to your frontline so they work with you. It will be helpful to them as they might do Diamond Club after you. Make them part of your success.”
3.“ Don’ t think about the money you are spending; it’ s an investment.”
4.“ Try not to focus on the Fast Start you are not making. Unilevel is much more important.”
5.“ Give your all— soul and body.”
Marie-Kim Provencher started Diamond Club with both feet running. She knew that Diamond Club would be a great opportunity to increase momentum in her business and was ready to give it all she had. Though, momentum was not the only motivating factor pushing her to the finish line. By the time she started Diamond Club, Marie-Kim already had solid builders, but she hoped that her participation in Diamond Club would help solidify their teams as well. She made it her highest priority to serve her team as much as she could.
During her Diamond Club sprint, it became apparent to Marie-Kim that she was not on her journey alone but was surrounded by cheerful supporters on the sideline. She says,“ My daughters were very supportive and would cheer me on saying,‘ You can do it, Mommy! People need you, and you can help them.’ My team and their spirit really made it possible for me. I can rely on them, and they are relentless, wonderful leaders who are all in. I felt so blessed.”
Even though the experience had many positive moments, Marie-Kim found that one of the biggest challenges was staying focused on the finish line. Especially in the last month of Diamond Club, Marie-Kim was physically exhausted, but she decided that no matter how hard it got, she needed to keep going for herself and, most importantly, for her team. She says,“ I felt I needed to show an example of never giving up, even in hard times. When you show that you are giving your all to your team and their success, you are serving them. So I kept my head up straight through the finish line. When you have a team who is watching you grow, don’ t let them down. They’ ll follow your steps.”
Though Marie-Kim experienced difficult moments during her journey, she felt that the long-term results far outweighed the short-term challenge. She says,“ Diamond Club solidified my roots. It gave me the chance to work with a few levels under my frontline, and I got to know them and understand their Whys and their dreams. They inspired me so much. I felt I was helping them, and they were so open to everything I could say or do to help them. Without Diamond Club, I would probably have never met those wonderful people this way.”
