PRESIDENTIAL DIAMONDS

Congratulations on Reaching Presidential Diamond Chris & Ange Peters LONDON , ONTARIO , CAN

“ We have such a special gift to offer — not only in these bottles , but in being a listening ear , in providing a loving space , and in linking arms when someone is ready to pay forward the gift they were given .”
How have you learned to balance running your business and taking care of your family ?
Ange : Our values determine our behavior . If you value being liked by everyone , then you will end up saying yes to everyone and everything , and your family will pay the price . Throughout the business , I ’ ve continually tried to develop a strong ability to focus , manage my time , and not over commit . You have to become good at saying no to people and opportunities if they don ’ t completely align with your values . Honestly , I think the best thing a woman can do is stop apologizing for saying no .
Chris : Family will always come first before business . But you win if you can find a way to integrate your family into your business — ask your in-laws to watch your kids , take your kids to classes with you to teach about their favorite oils , etc . This business is going to help your family be healthier and happier in many ways , so the sooner you can guide them to see that , the better .
What have been the biggest challenges you have had to overcome on the way to Presidential Diamond ?
Ange : Initially I had a hard time transitioning from this “ solo entrepreneur space ” where I had been building my HOL : FIT
