2 year Anniversary of my business

Two years ago, tomorrow, I was sitting across the table from a friend listening to her talk about her business.  She wasn't selling me a product, she was sharing with me about how this opportunity was making her life better.  She was sharing with me about how her life had been before this business found her.

During that lunch I was thinking that our life was far from how I wanted it to be.  Financially we just weren't in a good spot.  I was a stay at home mom (which was always my dream) because of having a not so perfect pregnancy with the twins.  I had been put on bed rest from 20 weeks and knew that when they came into this world 14 weeks early that I wasn't going to be able to leave them at daycare and return to work.

As I listened to her talk about her financial struggles and the journey that she was on, I thought "why not?" and told her that I wanted to give it a try.  I knew NOTHING about the products that the company sold because I hadn't even tried them, but I saw the passion in her eyes and I knew that if I could add a couple hundred dollars to my families budget during that time then maybe we would be ok.

Fast forward to 2 years later and I'm still with the company loving the journey that we are on.  Yes, it's had it's ups and downs.  Name a business that doesn't, but the change in me personally and how I've been able to stay home with the kids far outweigh the slow times in my business.  I've met so many great men and women who have become like family.  When I'm having a rough day, I turn to them for encouragement.  When I see someone struggling, I can do the same for them.

Many of you think that direct sales is all about pushing the products that we sell, when really that's just the cover.  Open the book and look inside.  You'll find so many awesome characters.  Moms who get to stay home while contributing to the family budget.    Dad's who want more for their families without having to put in more hours at a 9-5 job.  You'll find college dropouts, attorneys, doctors, teachers, salon owners and so many other amazing people who all share one common goal; to live a life that chases their dreams and not a paycheck.  

Yes, this industry isn't for everyone.  But for ME and for my family it is the answer!  I dream BIG for them so that they know that anything is possible!  Are you dreaming BIG????
