We are looking for a part time sales associate for my team at GNC in Pleasanton, Stoneridge Mall. If you know anyone that loves supplements, fitness, and sales, please let me know! Link to apply with job description: https://lnkd.in/g2hqkwC4

Life of a Store Manager at GNC.. So a customer came into GNC the other day asking about the fastest and quickest way possible to lose weight, and whats the instant product in here that will lose weight. I could have suggested a product in the store directly and upsold him on supplement products, but I said wait…let me really try to help this guy out and ask some lifestyle questions. What’s your diet like? Do you have a fitness gym routine? Walk me through your daily meals your eating. The answers were..surprising. He ate oily foods, take out, fast food, and was just getting back into working out. I suggested that he take a look at his diet first, and really assess the food intake. “Are you meal prepping?” I asked. He replied: “no i’m not” Eating healthy foods first is the baby step. Supplements are supposed to aid and “supplement” your fitness journey to overall well being. I showed him my meal prep I brought to work from my mini fridge, and told him about protein, veggies, and carbs. I educated him on how to cook, and to use YouTube as an education outlet to learn the basics of a healthy lifestyle. Learn how to cook your own foods. Although after that whole conversation, I did suggest garcinia cambogia (a supplement to help with appetite suppressant), because I am here to do my job lol. And also protein powder, that will also help you stay fuller for longer. But I mainly focused on caring for the customer, because when he’s ready to buy supplements, he’ll be more than ready to purchase. Think long term Care for people And have a genuine interest in other people are key in sales.

Here is my video review of being on KTVU ch2 news about being laid off from Tesla. I explain what my experience was like and my thought process when getting told I couldn’t get in the building at 6am, and I explain my commute difficulty (1.5hr drive). I also explain my reasoning on living in my Tesla at work during the work weeks. Also want to mention that I hope this inspires others to know that there is a light at every dark tunnel. Whether your laid off or just going through the struggles of life. We are all in this together just trying to make sense of it all, so be kind to one another. Spread positive vibes. And keep pushing whatever you are going through. Your job does not define you, you define yourself. “Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute, or an hour or a day, or even a year. But eventually, it will subside. And something else take its place. If I quit however, it will last forever.” -Eric Thomas https://lnkd.in/gWrCNquy

I’m on the news again! KTVU Ch2 news Thanks Joey Horta for taking the time to interview me about my experience about the Tesla layoff on 4/15/24 It’s been almost a month since I was laid off from Tesla, and it’s been a journey sharing my story of sleeping in my car at the factory on work days lol. I guess it’s a symbol of dedication. I’m also on NY Post, Business Insider interviewing me soon, CBS, UNILAD, and more https://lnkd.in/gASzSqU7 #layoffs #news #KTVU #jobloss

Good morning LinkedIn family! Happy Friday! My reaction to being on CBS news for the Tesla layoff. I share all this to inspire others to keep moving forward no matter what happens to you. Life is like football. You get traded, or throw an interception, or the other team scores, but all you can do is your best and control the things that you can control which are: How you talk to people Your response Your attitude How you speak to yourself Where you spend your energy The way you approach conflict #TheNews #CBSNews #CBS #Motivation #Layoffs

LinkedIn fam! I wanted to post this photo for you guys as a friendly reminder to never give up on your dreams. I read this book called Think and Grow Rich back in 2019, when I was a Production Associate at Tesla. The book talked about a miner who was 3 feet away from gold. He called it quits after so many trials and tribulations, hitting as hard as he could. An engineer had bought the land from him. The engineer continued where the miner had quit, and was able to strike gold! Morale of the story: Never give up. Most people quit, right before they are about to hit something great Your already in pain, use it as motivation to keep on keeping on. When I was laid off from Tesla, I had a choice to keep on hammering away at applications or to give up. Because each application, each denial email back saying “job filled” or “you dont meet qualifications,” is ONE yes away from striking gold. If you want my book review on this book, I made a video on it ⬇️⬇️⬇️ https://lnkd.in/gJdnD-pV #nevergiveup #motivation #jobloss #teslalayoffs #layoffs #career

A few days ago Shoaib S. (a YouTube subscriber) who had been laid off by Apple recently, had came up to me at GNC and had a good chance to ask me about my Tesla layoff experience. Not only that, but he was also interested in my story of what is next in this crazy adventure we call life. I really want to get my YouTube going and Shoaib S. had a lot of tips and tricks and pointers that could help me out. He was also gracious enough to send me links about how to get monetized on YouTube which really helped a lot because I need someone to show me my place in all this. Currently, I have about 19,000 subscribers and last week I had 4,900 subscribers, so it’s growing! My YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/geTp8xRr Shoaib’s YouTube channel: https://lnkd.in/gPcuNNA7 I truly do think everything happens for a reason: The people you meet The books you come across That jobs that don’t want you The struggles of life The ups and the downs The unexpected turns The things that you thought were supposed to happen and didn’t happen, might just be a calling to your true purpose. If it wasn’t for Michael Jordan getting cut from his 9th grade basketball team, he wouldn’t have become Michael Jordan If it wasn’t for Oprah Winfrey, for being told, she was not good enough for television, she wouldn’t have become Oprah Winfrey If it wasn’t for The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) not making it into the NFL, he wouldn’t have become “The Rock” And made multiple different movies and getting into WWE. Things go wrong, so that you appreciate them when they're right. Good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Quote from Marvel Peggy Carter: “… sometimes the best thing that you can do, is to start over.”

Shoaib S. had a chance to speak to me about my layoff experience, and just wanted to hop on here and say thank you and I appreciate it. He will be posting the interview on his YouTube channel. Shoaib also had a layoff story similar to me from Apple, and he was vulnerable to share it with me. It was crazy the amount of people that visited me at GNC to stop by and give their support and just be glad to have met me and I really think that this is inspiring a lot of people to have a positive mindset regardless of the situation at hand. To have an attitude of gratitude is super important in life because life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. When life gives you lemons, you make a lemonade stand. #layoffs #comeback #newjob #gratitude #thankful #honored
