I’ve seen a lot of cheesy television ads over the years. But one of the most memorable came from the Hair Club for Men. The company helped guys who were going bald creatively repopulate their scalps. What really stood out, though, was the founder’s catch-phrase – “I’m not only the Hair Club president, I’m also a client.”  That kind of strong passion for a product or service can change your entire career.   

The same is true for people who have made major transformations and then redefine their life moving forward. Just ask Nicole Anagnos. Almost a decade ago, she lost 70 pounds in a healthy manner.  Nicole embraced exercise with open arms and became interested in nutrition. Even being put on bed rest while pregnant with twins didn’t diminish her passion for being active.  The Williamstown, Massachusetts resident continued to focus on eating smaller portions more times each day, resumed her workouts after giving birth and fell back into her normal weight. 

Bolstered by her own success, Nicole decided it was time to give back. She became a certified Holistic Health Coach and today her practice (www.zentreewellness.com) supports others in achieving their health goals.  Turning her passion for good health into a career has made a big impact on Nicole.

“It is amazing to get feedback from my clients that their health is improving,” she explains. “I think we all live in a world today where it is downright difficult to know what is really healthy! It’s such a path of self-discovery and I love being there as a support through what is a very life changing experience.”

If you could turn your passion into a career, what would that look like?
