Why did you start your business and what do you work for?

For me...

Why did I start my business?
I started this business because I love to help entrepreneurs shape ideas into a business, and then take their business to the next level.

What do you work for?
I work for my family... My wife, my children, and my future grandchildren... I want to build my businesses so that they will be a legacy that generations of my family will be able to participate in.

I want to wake up when I am done sleeping. I want to follow my passions in life. I love spreading information about natural health and wellness, and the opportunity to help someone else achieve financial freedom and reach their own goals is an indescribable feeling!

I work for everyone in my organization, I work for my family. This is the beginning of many generations in my family that will have a grasp on how to build, grow, share, and leverage wealth.

As a nurse, I realized how horrible injured workers are treated by their employers and healthcare. I am at a period of transition in my life. I can take better care of myself working at home and rest when I need to without the stress from a boss.

I work to help my husband and to make being a business owner a reality instead of a dream. I'd like to be sucessful.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, because I am an artist and had to rent studio space anyway. I had a hard time finding professional work space where I could be taken seriously as a professional artist, so I opened Chroma to fill that need.

I work to fulfill my dreams and to help other artists achieve their dreams.; ▶ Reply to This

Why did I start my business?
I started this business because I love helping others to achieve their goals, share great ideas with others who have businesses, and help them take their business to the next level, I also started this business, so that I can help others who can not afford health care this started when I was not able to pay a hospital bills, when I had insurance, I found out that most people can not afford these bills, them I found a solution for all those who can not.

That question goes a ways back. I started my career in healthcare early on. I lost my father and my pop-pop to cancer when I was 13 and 15. I started out pre-med biochem at UMASS Amherst but quickly realized that what I would have to be doing is dealing with people after they had already gotten sick. What I wanted to do was to stop their illness from happening and stopping the pain that they and their families would have to endure. That's when I switched gears and attended Harvard where I studied linquistics and world religions. Through much Divine Direction, I ended up where I am today which is helping to alleviate people's chronic pain through natural means. Inherent in my work, is the need to educate my patients on how to be healthier at home to further facilitate the healing process. That's how I became introduced to Mila, the "Miracle Seed" by LifeMax. Mila has the highest and safest presentation of Omega 3's in the world. Our only competition is fish oil and flax which is highly restricted or even banned in some European countries like Germany. When I was asked by a friend to do some research about Mila, I quickly learned about its benefits and also learned about LifeMax, the company with a mission of improving the health and wealth of the world. We can do this by providing a variety of the seed to those impoverished areas around the world so that they can farm and feed themselves, creating an expansion of independence. This seed can do all of that. I am Blessed and thankful to be a part of it from before we had a name or compensation plan. You see, none of that mattered. The core belief is what came first. I connected with that. You can see that in the interview of Sherri and Jimbo Wear, our Founders, in the many videos.

What do I work for?

For all of the reasons above I am compelled to be successful to help so many people with so many backgrounds and needs. Personally, it is to create a financial freedom and security especially in harsh economic times such as those that we are experiencing right now. What I see outside my "window" of people losing jobs and money, is inversely proportionate to what I am experiencing within my own walls. I have been truly Blessed and would love to help you experience the same results. Join me. Blessings.

I started my business to keep children, children. Our world has changed their lives. They need and we need to keep their childhood a memorable event. As I child, I had it. My children had it, and now it is gone, sadly. This was my dream 20 years ago, and a few years ago, I started my business. The Official Licenses of Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fariy so children will Believe Without A Doubt, that they were in their homes on those special mornings! Yes, they have to grow up, but for now, we can enjoy that joyful memory. Go to www.pickacardproductions.com. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving and Happy Holidays!
