Creative or Network Marketing (often referred to as Direct selling) is a retail channel used by top global brands and smaller, entrepreneurial companies to market products and services to consumers. Independent consultants forge strong personal relationships with prospective customers, primarily through online, face-to-face discussions, demonstrations and sampling actions. In this age of online social networking, Network Marketing is a go-to market strategy that, for many companies and product lines, may be more effective than traditional advertising or securing premium shelf space due to its powerful word of mouth advertising strategy and the potential geometric compounded growth it offers.

In 2007 Gordon joined  the ranks of Direct Sellers by registering with a hybrid Company specializing in Vegan Beauty, Skincare, Sports & Wellness Products. His business launched simultaneously as the great  economic down-turn of the same year got up to full steam, but, with my focused vision, the development of leadership skills coupled with a sustained hard work ethic a group aim can bring, I created a new life for himself. By laying the foundations and supporting others in their quest for their own personal aims, Gordon helps many of them too achieve theirs too. By focusing on personal development, advocating for others and helping them get what they want, Gordon ultimately got what he wanted (by default), and that lesson has produced the outstanding and dynamic award-winning Global organization he has today.  Read more at: https://www.gordonfraser.co/

Karen Rubinstein is a Transformation Coach & Advisor and recovered alcoholic. She helps her clients find joy, peace, and new beginnings in even their darkest times. Karen has developed practical strategies for emotional sobriety that will move you forward and enrich your life in ways you could never imagine. Her transformational recovery coaching method is much more than just putting down the bottle and staying sober. It’s about building a life that is emotionally, physically, and spiritually balanced. The first step is understanding that alcohol is only a symptom of a deeper issue. Karen’s transformational coaching methods help uncover the root causes of addiction, allowing true healing to begin and leading to a fulfilling life.

Karen’s own life’s path has been full of twists, turns and very real setbacks such as lifelong depression, traumas, PTSD, sleep disorders, eating disorders and alcoholism. Four years ago she hit rock bottom and finally reached out for help. She thought putting down the bottle would be the end of a journey, and yet it was the beginning. Over four years in recovery, she has made amazing discoveries about herself and learned lessons that have changed and transformed her life. She no longer needs prescriptions for depression or sleep and is living a life beyond her wildest dreams. She’s truly happy, joyous and free! Because she suffered needlessly for years, and because she’s lost so many friends to this disease, Karen now dedicates her life to helping women reclaim their happiness and purpose. She also writes and speaks – recover loudly! – to stop the shame and stigma of addiction/alcoholism and to stop others from dying quietly. Read more at: https://www.karenrubinstein.com/
