Helping others is the best part of owning your own business. Just ask Platinum Pros Nathan and Kelly Pence, the masterminds behind the Metaboliq Lifestyle Transformation Project. “We brainstormed about fun ways to document our Metaboliq journey and kept trying to tie it into service. We decided to donate a pound of food for each pound that we lost, calling it the Pound for Pound Challenge. In addition, we donate an hour of volunteer service for every ten pounds shed.”
Nathan and Kelly explained, “As we improve our health we can also improve the health and well-being of those less fortunate.” Besides inviting their team, fellow IBOs and friends to join them in the challenge, they are blogging their success so others can share in the journey. “Remembering that each pound helps give someone else a meal–that’s inspiration!”
Working together helps keep everyone motivated. “Our incredible team keeps us informed of their weight loss goals and successes. Having their support and encouragement has helped all of us stay on track with our Metaboliq transformations.” Nathan and Kelly have lost a combined 41 pounds and as a team they have lost around 200 pounds.
Equally as important as support from their team is that of their family, especially their four children. “One of the most exciting and positive ‘side effects’ of this journey has been to see our kids come to the realization that they can achieve their dreams with vision, belief and dedication. It’s exciting to hear our 5, 10, 12, and 13 year olds quote incredible leaders like Jim Rohn and Vernon Douglas on a regular basis, and refuse to use or take excuses. The positivity that this company has brought to our family has been priceless and seeing their dreams get bigger and bigger has been incredible.”
Besides helping them lose weight, the Metaboliq system has propelled their business forward. Presidential Diamonds, Vernon and Debra Douglas explain, “Nathan and Kelly’s Metabolic project and the Metaboliq product has turbo-charged the growth and success of their business. It has launched them from Gold to Platinum and put Diamond within their sights. They have found that Metabolic is so well received by the public that new IBOs become walking and talking billboards of success.”
Nathan and Kelly went on to say, “We experienced life-changing benefits with the Qore System which we shared with family and friends. The benefits were such that people could notice a difference in our appearance in a short amount of time. Within weeks, we had people asking us how we were losing weight and how they could get their hands on whatever it was we were using.”
Happy to share their secrets of success with others, Nathan and Kelly continue to find time for things that are important. “We both believe that people can achieve whatever they put their heart into. Neither of us can remember a time when we weren’t busy, but we refuse to let that get in the way of our success and the future that our children deserve.”
“Thanks to programs like the Qivana Pound for Pound Challenge, local food banks like The Food Bank of Manatee are able to provide essential nourishment to people who would otherwise go hungry. One pound of food can provide a meal to someone in need, and one dollar donated to a local food bank can provide approximately seven meals for the hungry. The Food Bank of Manatee would like to express our thanks to Nathan and Kelly Pence, for spearheading the Qivana challenge, which has already provided resources to help end hunger. Please consider joining the challenge, or donating funds to The Food Bank of Manatee (www.foodbankofmanatee.org), or to your local food bank.”
