Early Challenges: A Turning Point in Health and Life

In their early years of marriage, Allan and Nicole Blain were confronted with a significant obstacle. Nicole began experiencing severe health issues in her twenties, leaving the young couple searching for solutions while raising the first three of their now six children. For two long years, they tried countless medical and natural treatments, none of which yielded the results they hoped for.
Determined to take control of her health, Nicole made significant changes to her diet and overall lifestyle, focusing on natural, whole-food nutrition and better self-care habits.
These changes marked a turning point for Nicole, as her health began to improve steadily. This journey toward wellness became the inspiration for their mission: to guide and empower others in pursuing better health through sustainable and natural approaches.
Building Expertise: From Personal Experience to Professional Coaching
With Nicole’s health journey as a catalyst, Allan and Nicole immersed themselves in fitness and nutrition coaching. What began as a personal quest for wellness evolved into a passion for guiding others. Allan recalls that the first few years were more of a hobby, but over time, their knowledge, passion, and dedication grew.
Through hard work and perseverance, they became experts in their field. As their reputation for providing effective wellness solutions expanded, they began to see actual results, not just in their own lives but in the lives of those they coached.
Helping Others Succeed: A Mission of Impact
One of the couple’s key philosophies is that success comes from practical experience rather than theoretical knowledge. Drawing on their 30 years of experience across various industries—including law enforcement, real estate, and nutrition—Allan & Nicole help others to overcome obstacles using proven strategies. Together, they focus on helping people with a holistic approach, addressing not only health but also life’s challenges, including personal development, relationships, and financial solutions for others who also desire to create additional incomes doing what they teach.
Their mission to help others didn’t stop with one-on-one coaching. In September 2022, Allan launched a podcast, Life’s Hard Succeed Anyway. The podcast features interviews with successful individuals who have also overcome adversity, offering valuable insights to listeners. The podcast has gained global recognition, ranking in the top 1% of all podcasts world-wide, and continues to inspire thousands of listeners each week.

In 2023, Allan launched a book titled, “Life’s Hard Succeed Anyway,” that showcases their story of overcoming adversity and achieving success on a larger scale, with helpful strategies the reader can employ to achieve success despite their life challenges
Family First: The Core of Their Success
While their professional achievements are impressive, Allan and Nicole always prioritize their family. Their relationship with each other and their six children remains their top priority, serving as the foundation for everything they do. They believe true success stems from a healthy balance between personal relationships and professional life, with a focus on service to others.
Maintaining this balance allows them to be effective in their work, helping others achieve their goals without compromising their own well-being. For the Blains, investing in family and personal relationships is not only crucial for their happiness but also essential to their success.
