Michelle: "Unfortunately, I have experienced a number of intense events in my life. For example, my two sisters both passed away when I was still a teenager. This had an enormous impact on me. I realised above all how short life can be. That you have to consciously do things that truly make you happy. Should I then spend forty years of my life working nine to five, until I am 68?

In 2013, I lost my job due to the crisis, despite having a permanent contract. Shortly afterwards I came across Forever and immediately saw my solution in it. My partner Hein was still working sixty hours a week as a physiotherapist at the time. He didn't believe in Forever. But when after nine months of part-time hard work I was already earning an average income, his eyes opened too. By continuing to build the Forever business, it kept growing. This allowed Hein to also hand in his notice a few years later.

It now feels so wonderful to no longer be dependent on employers. Thanks to working with Forever, we have much more time to be with our loved ones, to go to the water together and to cuddle a lot with the dog. In short, to do the things that truly make us happy. For that we are enormously grateful to Forever."
