The creation of The Lemonade Network is an incredible story about fate, opportunity and determination.
It all began with 6 women who met over the phone in a training course and decided to create a mastermind group to help each other build their individual businesses.
Getting to know and support each other involved tallying up their collective adversities that amounted to: Eight job firings or layoffs, seven bankruptcies or severe financial difficulties, five tax liens or audits, one foreclosure and one mortgage default, seven divorces, six losses of assets through poor decisions or misguided investments, five failed businesses, the loss of 19 close loved ones, eight unexpected instances of significantly reduced income, the raising of nine children, six serious life-changing illnesses for ourselves or close family, five ”bosses from hell,” one home lost to fire and an average loss of more than 50 percent of life savings and investments in the current economic downturn.
As they cultivated the group dynamic and discovered that each woman’s heartfelt desire was to use their life experiences and training to help others move through and past difficulties and find peace, health and prosperity, they formed a company called The Lemonade Network, based on the well-known phrase “When Life Hands You Lemons…..Make Lemonade”
Their mission is to support people through the emotional rollercoaster brought on by sudden and severe economic stress. Working together by teleconference and email, they produced a life-changing book, followed by workshops and educational products that help people emotionally recover from the economic crisis.
THE BOOK: Emotional Stimulus Package: Your Guide to Re-creating the American Dream is a self-help book for the millions of Americans whose habitual lives have been shattered by the economic crisis. The book guides the reader through seven stages of grief as they relate to the emotional impact brought on by significant life changes. It is not an academic book but rather a reflective journey about choice and change. From real stories and pertinent questions, readers will be able to identify their current stage of grief, understand how to move through the grieving process, pick up their lives again and rediscover their core values with renewed optimism.
The aim of our company and this book is to help people emotionally recover from the economic crisis.
