Florida Woman Living Life She Never Dreamt Possible – USANA Success Stories
Written by pinoyusana on August 29th, 2010
For many years, Lynn Allen-Johnson worked in a design showroom, helping architects and interior designers select marble and granite for their wealthy customers. Lynn enjoyed the job, but she certainly never thought she would have the opportunity to select such materials for herself. “Most of my adult life I lived in mediocrity or poverty,” she explains. “I was living in an apartment and getting by just paycheck to paycheck.”
That all changed in 2002, when Lynn decided to take her then oft-ignored USANA business and transform it into a highly profitable organization. Less than five years later, Lynn was not only out of her apartment, she was picking out marble and granite for her own custom-built dream home. “My house is back-to-back with my daughter’s home in a great neighborhood,” she says happily. “We have a beautiful patio with a hot tub and pool, and I have a totally private, 650-square foot office and training room where I can work.”
Lynn admits that it’s all just a little hard to believe. “I’m living a life that I never dreamed possible,” she says. “My husband, Phil, and I have built our wonderful home, I’m a published author, and I have the freedom of time to do what I want to do.” She chooses to spend much of that time with her family, especially her six grandchildren. “I love going to their little league games,” she says. “We get to sit on the bleachers, eat our peanuts, and cheer them on! I’m so happy to be there and be a part of their lives.”
Lynn also appreciates the extra time she has to spend with her mother, who lives about 70 miles away. “Every two weeks or so she comes and spends several days with us,” Lynn explains. “And often I drive down to see her and we have a ‘girls’ day’ together. I didn’t have much time to spend with her before USANA, so it means a lot to me now.”
Although Lynn admits to being a homebody, she is grateful to have the resources to travel when she chooses to. Lynn and Phil recently returned from a weeklong vacation in Las Vegas with Lynn’s daughter and son-in law, brother and sister-in-law, and mother. “We just went to some shows, enjoyed spending time together, and didn’t worry about a thing. It was wonderful!” she says.
Lynn speaks with the contentment of someone who is living her best life. She recently celebrated her birthday and was delighted to realize that she couldn’t think of a single thing she wished for. “I don’t have the hugest house on the planet or the fanciest car,” she says. “But I can honestly say that I have everything I could ever want.“
Having achieved her personal goals, Lynn remains driven by her desire to see her teammates accomplish their own “best lives.” “I want to give back now,” she says. “It isn’t about me anymore. I want to see my teammates experience all of the success and happiness that I have experienced.”
