I wanted to follow up and let you know Robert Ferguson, who is a weight loss coach, athletic trainer, author of many books and his brand new system called Food Lovers Fat Loss system, just recently hired my daughter. She is beside herself, I encouraged her to call him and ask if she could meet with him due to the fact that after reading several of his books she lost 25 pounds and is in the best shape ever. Being an athletic teenager she always felt she wanted to be slimmer and after following his way of eating she naturally lost the weight over a year and half and feels amazing. She wants to follow a career path in this area and working in an environment she loves is key.
Encourage your kids to do what they love and it will never feel like work, she also gets to workout after her shift is over, she says it doesn’t get much better then that!

One note: she sent out many job applications, but had no response, she was offered a job in a place she knew she would not be happy and turned it down. When she went in for this interview her passion came through and he could see how excited she was to work for him.
