Name: Carrie Sherratt
Business: “Network Goodness” a product by Xango
Describe yourself in three words: Positive, open-minded and hungry (for life, for different cuisines & cultures, for travel, for inspiration, to learn…)
What else should we know about you?It’s taken me a good many years, but I’ve come to realize that working smart is much more effective and rewarding than working hard. Oh, and I’m a pretty good masseuse!
What do you do? I’m a Philanthropeneur : Let me tell you a bit more about it :
A new approach to solving social problems is needed. This new approach is Venture Philanthropy, also know as Philanthrocapitalism. Our economy is in crisis, people from all walks of life are loosing their jobs, there aren’t enough jobs to go around,and there is a lack of options for the average person to get out of debt.
This is a paradigm shift in thinking that requires you to have an open mind along with a willingness to learn something new. Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and many others including former president Bill Clinton, believe we must look to ourselves, and not the government, in order to fight against poverty and build a sustainable economic future.
I’ve found the ideal mechanism that creates awareness and addresses world hunger while taking control of my personal finances and ultimately helping those that have the same hunger, do the same. It’s simpler than it sounds.
Why do you love it? It’s not only my very own business, but it’s a business with products I am proud to be associated with. They are all category creating, health and wellness products that have been created by a stellar company who has visionary founders with hearts of gold I can make work my hobby I can dream bigger I support and network with other wahm’s I share and connect with like-minded people I can be creative I can be my own inspiration I can taste success I can use my imagination I get to work in my pj’s It’s flexi – I work when I want to I learn from others, grow, and hopefully inspire others too.
Where do you get your inspiration? Successful people such as Robert Kiyosaki : Rich Dad Poor Dad; Mother Theresa; The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes; The Bible; my Xango leaders, particularly Beverly Hollister and Pat Petrini and of course my 2 teenage sons keep me young!
Who has been one of your biggest influences? Lady Diana for her honesty, vulnerability and warm-heartedness.
If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things could you not live without? My laptop : I cannot live without access to my business & friends; my husband : he would be my hunter-gatherer and my mangosteen juice to keep me healthy!
Where do you see yourself in ten years? Fulfilling my hunger to travel and see the magnificent world that we live in.
Anything else you just *have* to say? “GIVE and it WILL be given to YOU”
