Sherell Slaise – From Time Bankrupt To Time Freedom

 
Sherell Slaise, Ambit Energy Leader says:
Having control of my time – to do what I want when I want – is living the life of my dreams. I was seeking time freedom.
Upon graduating from Clark Atlanta University (and studying International Business at University College of Belize in Central America), I began a corporate career as a Health Care Management Consultant for one of, at the time named, the “Big 6” consulting firms. It was a stressful and very intense job billing the client 80+ hours per week while traveling 100% of the time. After 4 years of this, I grew tired and resigned.
Additionally – I had no interest to pursue a Masters Degree which was preferred by the Firm to “rank advance” and earn top income. During this same time period, my

The collective revenue of the multi-billion-dollar Malaysian direct selling industry is projected to be flat this year compared with 2014, as the industry grapples with weak consumer sentiment.
