Who Is Lee Parent
In many ways, I'm just an ordinary guy. I put on my pants one leg at a time just like everybody else. In many other ways I am unique, as we all are in our own special way. So what sets me apart from other people? Factors such as gender, race, nationality, religious beliefs, and primary roles in life among other things serve as a means of establishing one's personal identity. Probably our life experiences and how we have responded with our own ways of coping and adjusting to the constant changes in our life tend to make us the person we are.
Major changes in life are often brought about by an event or series of events. These events can be joyous occasions or disastrous and can have the effect of disrupting life's adjustments. There is usually some sense of loss with all of the accompanying emotions that a loss entails. Emotions such as anger, grief, guilt,depression and anxiety to name a few can overwhelm and immobilize us, making decision-making difficult, and often leading a person to grab at straws so to speak in an effort to cope. Although temporary, in this state of crisis, adjustments are broken down and one's normal means of coping with stress may be inadequate or unavailable. In this situation people need all the information and support they can get, and given that, they make new adjustments and get on with their life.
My point in discussing change is that any change, no matter how devastating, is accompanied by an opportunity to improve one's adjustments and experience personal growth in their life.
I have spent the greater part of my adult life as a licensed clinical social worker. Typically, people have a difficult time making needed changes in their life until they are forced to do so, It has been somewhat of a passion with me to enable people in crisis to recognize their opportunity for positive change in their life and supporting them in their process of readjustment. I retired a few years ago from full time professional practice but soon learned that my retirement income was inadequate to support my family, particularly since my wife and I are raising teenage twins, a boy and a girl. More recently, we have taken on major financial responsibility for a great grandson. While I am currently engaged in a part-time private practice, I have continued to struggle to cope with debt that has accumulated since my retirement. When a friend introduced me to X2o Builder and the Mentors In Motion marketing team I jumped at the chance. I recognized immediately that through X2o and MIM I could, not only attain financial security for myself and family, but also enable many others around the world to improve their financial, physical and mental health through the remarkable health products they market.
Please understand that, although my undergraduate degree is in business administration, I have never considered myself as much of a businessman or salesman.. A major stumbling block in my business endeavors has been my difficulty in asking people to spend their hard earned money unless it was something that I thought they could afford and would be beneficial to them. One of the things that attracted me to this business is that the products are both affordable and greatly beneficial, and that the major aspect of marketing is done automatically through the system. Consequently, I never have to ask people to spend their hard earned money. To the contrary, I can show them how they can ultimately get their product paid for, improve their health and earn an additional income for life.
Through the MIM marketing team I have become acquainted with professionals in this field who tirelessly work to teach my colleagues and I how to be as successful as they have been in helping others. I am particularly delighted that I can continue my clinical practice while honing my developing skills as an Internet marketing professional.
While I have, on rare occasions, encountered people who seem to have breezed through life without major stresses in their life, I have had my ups and downs just like the majority of people in the world. I have tried other means of earning a living including construction work and have gone broke in the restaurant business. That was a very difficult time in my life. I have also been a song writer and poet,and have written weekly articles for a newspaper. I enjoy fishing, gardening and woodworking, and have tried my hand at several artistic endeavors. I am very family oriented and feel that I have a rich spiritual life. In addition to the grandchildren who live with me, I have three grown children, two granddaughters and a grandson,and a great granddaughter who do not live with me, and another great grandson on the way.
Hopefully I have given you a glimpse into my life and who I am. Anyone interested in knowing more about my interests and activities may contact me at 800-540-0475.
