Nate & Amy Smith OKLAHOMA The Noble Mantle of Entrepreneurship
Nate is also proud of his 15-year-old son, who is focusing his educational pursuits on a path that will allow him to carry on the family tradition of entrepreneurship. To Nate, a Melaleuca business is the perfect, low-risk starting point. With Melaleuca, entrepreneurs can craft something enduring and impactful on their own terms. “The only risk someone takes with Melaleuca is getting a bruised ego,” he explains. “The worst that can happen is that someone will say no .” Dispelling the fear of rejection, Nathan encourages would-be entrepreneurs to adopt a positive mindset. After all, a no from one person should only fuel the journey to your next yes . Nate believes that success in Melaleuca is about more than personal gain—it’s about helping others and enhancing the lives of everyone that you come into contact with. Through Nate’s example, we are reminded that the journey of entrepreneurship is more than just a path to success—it’s a chance to forge a better world for generations to come. “Treasure every moment,” he advises. “Pick up the mantle and walk in front of your kids. Then when they pick up that mantle for themselves and go out into the world—that’s when you create a legacy.”
In the grand tapestry of American enterprise, few threads shine as brightly as the spirit of entrepreneurship. And few exemplify that spirit better than Nate Smith. Nate views entrepreneurship not just as a career choice but as a mechanism that is essential to rebuilding a fractured economy. He argues that recent years have done their best to snuff out the once-blazing fire of the American Dream. Yet, in his eyes, that dream isn’t dead—it’s merely waiting for someone with the courage to reignite it. Someone willing to take on the noble mantle of entrepreneurship. “Success is the realization of a worthwhile dream,” Nate explains. “You gotta learn to dream again. When people hang around me long enough, they can’t help but start to dream.” The entrepreneurial spirit is not burning brightly in Nate alone. His 18-year-old daughter recently embarked on her own journey with Melaleuca, an endeavor that brings challenges and rewards in equal measure. “I’m watching my daughter get over her fears,” Nate says. “That makes my dad heart proud.”
