My MLGPON partner Anis asked a question about the THERMOMIX over her FB page as she was genuinely curious to know why the yays or nays of this "German All-in-One" Smart Kitchen. It made me rethink my story and how I got onboard first as a user ...and months later...as a Sales Advisor.
I now lead a growing team of 18 Sales Advisor. We started #DVaromas 3 periods ago (give or take, 3 months ago). It's been a fun journey so far, especially since it gives me creative sanity that helps with my "main" job as a content creator and presenter host.
It's a long read, but I want to share it here too.
Pons Story with Moe
So here is MY story.
I'm not a big fan of cooking - simply because my ego was bruised many a times when my attempts to cook curry and sambals were received with a rather (though constructive) "meh" from le hubby who was surrounded by good cooks throughout his childhood.
But my curiousity was piqued when I kept seeing posts about the Thermomix and how good it was. My bestfriend Wyomia Tsai shared how the TMX was able to cook low GI rice for her husband Stephen Ong who has diabetes (and she is not an advisor so her sharing *felt* more authentic).
However, with the MCO, heavily pregnant, no helper and getting pretty sick of ordering food when le hubby craved for his Tom Yams and Fish Head Curry, I felt the urge to buy it. The problem was? The pandemic did not just take away lives, but livelihoods too. With my last stages of pregnancy (and I was warned by my doctor to take it easy), and event cancelled or postponed left right centre - finances were tight.
So I was a bit #dengkike with the posts of friends and celebs posting their units up. I even made a parody video using my TAMBUNAN MIXER to show that my pressure cooker could do the job making my favourite Beef Stew. BUT lama2, I could not tahan.
I researched the shit out of it and told Azmi, I WANT THE THERMOMIX. He said NO. "Are you bloody kidding me? The unit costs RM7k???"
BUT DAPHNE IKING BAINI.
I found a way. When you want something really badly, you WILL find a way!
I told Azmi, IF I find the money and NOT touch our savings ... can I get it? He said jokingly, "go and sell your handbag".
I didn't, but what I did was I contacted Wyomia. Asked her how much did I have in Young Living Comms that I have not touched (she's been asking me to build the YL business, but I was already overwhelmed with projects and preferred to just be a user. However, I was on essential rewards program for some time because I'm a fan of EO and Ningxia drinks, so I had quite a bit of savings there).
I cashed that deposit out and paid my unit in cash! I've not regretted the decision and was happily sharing my TMX journey with my followers.
Almost a year later, Anis approached me asking how IS the TMX "Is it really as good as it claims? What's the business model like? Show me". I was already a consultant with Norwex then, so I had NO interest in another networking business. But Anis ni ... she's my business partner for a reason. I chose to team up with her (MLGPON) because I trust her business acumen and her strength is numbers.
We were neighbours and continued to develop our friendship despite her move to London and now Jamaica. So she became Chairman, and I became CEO of our MLGPON biz. And here we are, 3 months into the Thermomix #DVaromas business and with her guidance, I am now the Junior Team Manager for DVAs.
I am passionate not just about this smart all in one kitchen, but my growing team too. While Anis looks at numbers, I look at the other rezeki I've found in this journey with TMX.
I love cooking and baking again (So much so, that I'm reorganising my kitchen) , no longer ordering in (except to show support to some local entrepreneurs) and the love and friendship I have gained... MASHAALLAH! That is priceless!!
And my marriage?
The man who was sceptical about this gadget asked whether we should invest in another TMX.
"So you can cook solo for your demos when your SAs can't commit".
He's been such a champ helping our team with the technical side of things so we can run a fantastic cooking demo show, albeit staying safe at home. Just like how Norwex has changed our lives, Thermomix has too.
I only choose the best products to invest in. The ROI owning or earning the TMX is priceless.
