I love that quote! Think about it. What does it mean to you? For me, it is so empowering. It reminds me that anything IS possible in this life we have been blessed with. This quote says when you travel life’s road you will be given choices. How you look at these choices and react is up to you. This is how I live my life every day. I am 53 and the possabilities are endless .
Think about this. If you have the ability to imagine something in your mind that you want- and you can see it as a target- then the dream is possible. What you do next is THAT which will define you. Your next step IS entirely up to you. It is up to you to create a plan to achieve your goals.
And think about your journey. This road trip will have some twists and turns, but that is what makes a trip fun. No one wants to drive on a straight road for hours with nothing to see! BORING. It IS the twists and turns that make us look forward to what lies ahead .
This road trip may have some detours or roadblocks along the way . No one said this would be easy. How you react to the roadblocks – that will be your defining moment.
So you can be “Debby Dreamer” and stare out the window just sight seeing hoping something magical will appear.
You can be a “Betty Blamer” and find every reason why you can’t or haven’t reached your final destination.
You can be “Negative Nancy” and focus only on the bumps in the road- poor me, nothing goes,my way. It figures there is a road block-nothing is ever easy .
Or you can simply rise to the occasion. Make a plan and when you hit a roadblock adjust the journey. Look at the “hiccup ” as an opportunity to see more sights. The roadblock is just a means for you to find another way around to your end point . You might have to back track a bit and regain your bearings, but that is how you learn.
If you can realize that every day you make a choice of who you are going to be and that “You are entirely up to you, ” life’s journey will never be a disappointment.

Prior to owning her consulting company Aesthetics 360 , her experience in the medical field began in the elective surgery industry in 1996 with Summit Vision Centers. Christine has since gained national and international recognition as a consultant, business owner, public speaker and published author. Christine co-founded her consulting company aesthetics 360 in 2009 with her business partner Laura Jackson.

This company has allowed Christine the ability to work from anywhere and help other people change their lives and outlook on network marketing.
Christine is an avid supporter of people who are choosing to venture out into business for themselves. She understands the challenges and the courage it takes to turn a dream into reality. Being an entrepreneur at heart, Christine began a second business as a Rodan + Fields Independent consultant in 2017 and her vision is to retire in two years from the income she generates with this company. Looking at ways to bring additional and renewable income to her life became a passion and this company was one of her top five that peeked her interest. Now that being able to live on income generated by being 'her own boss' has become a reality, Christine is looking for many ways to share her experiences with those people who may be on the edge of working for themselves. From practice management consulting to selling amazing skin care products, Christine's goals continue to be her own boss and help others do the same. You can learn more about Christine by visiting both of her websites: www.aesthetics360.com and clapointe.myrandf.com.

She is seen as a resource for physicians and staff for validation and recommendations in all aspects of practice building. And she is seen as an inspiration to those friends and colleagues who have wanted to take that leap of faith and 'be their own boss.' This blog will be focused on ways to find the right company to partner with, tips on how to grow your team and of course about all the amazing advantages Rodan + Fields is bringing to the table-from product launches, to health tips to growing your own business-we welcome you to hang out here!
In her spare time Christine volunteers in her community as a Board Member to the COA (Council on Aging in Monson, MA) and enjoys spending time at home with her husband of 25 years, Big G, along with their five dogs and four birds.
