How I got started


I guess the best place to start is to explain how I got started with THRIVE. My sister was hosting a party and she invited me to attend. I had received the invite from her, but never responded because I didn't plan on getting anything anyway. You see, my husband is right in the middle of looking for work, and now is not the time to be making unnecessary purchases. Well, she asked me on the phone if I got the invite and if I wanted to come. I told her that in all honesty, I would go, but didn't want her to plan on me buying anything.

I went to her party and was instantly intrigued. What was this food that I could eat straight of the can and it really tasted good? How could the food that we were sampling really be food storage? All the food storage I've heard about before sits on your shelves in your basement and after 20 years, you throw it away because you didn't pay enough to actually eat it. I was totally impressed! This was food that you could store AND eat. But what about the price? That's the best part of all...you could set up a monthly shipment called "the Q" and it would ship the products right to your door based on the budget that you set. It took the "how am I going to pay for this" out of the equation.

So I went home and talked to my husband about it. There were several things that I felt were necessary to get for our food storage. But as we discussed it more and more, I started realizing that I could be a consultant and possibly have my food storage paid for and make a little money on top of it. Sure, it wouldn't cover all our bills, but it would at least help while my husband is looking for more work. After asking a lot of questions, doing a lot of research on the internet, and spending a lot of sleepless nights thinking about this as I lay in bed, we decided it was an opportunity we didn't wan to miss. So here we are. We've loved learning about the amazing company, the people who run it, and the product they sell. I promise you won't be disappointed.
