Why did I start my business?

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!

I have always made things and began selling slightly 15 years ago. There are just so many friends and family and I hoped I could reach a wider audience about 3 years ago. But the real bottom line is I love to create and selling is the cherry on the whipped cream.

I started my marketing business so I didn't have to stressed out in a job-especially since it caused me a heart attack and the management never even checked on me for 4 days and when they did it was to complain that I wasn't back at work because I was out of the hospital on the third evening (funny the sheriff just didn't get it now did he?). Plus I love helping people save money, make money, and help others do the same- that's why the lines I have make me money and others are also doing the same, even in the newest line up of Professor Brainstorm at brainstormkids.net where we're helping kids.

I work for me and my family. I'm not selfish in sayng me because it takes me to help them which is my life goal. Plus, I work for the greatest wife in the world (come on, it's true-she loves cars, football, baseball, basketball, hockey and me...problem in our house is she's an all Boston fan and I'm a Cleveland fan)

I resigned from a day job. I start my online business to replace the income I used to earn from my job. Some benefits I like to enjoy like I work on my own time schedule, there is no boss I need to report to....

I work for my family... for my parent especially. I do have a goal which is to achieve financial freedom.

Why did I start my business?
I saw some broken china jewelry at a home show in New Jersey and fell in love with the idea and had to try to make some myself.

What do I work for?
I work full time as a paralegal to survive but the jewelry business is all about loving to create something useful and, some say, beautiful out of something that is broken and no longer of use. Especially if it's of sentimental value to someone. It's very satisfying.

Passion, I love my products and believe it should be available to anyone (over the drinking age) and that a there should be someone to answer questions and give advice. Not just "pull a product".

I started WomenPartner International so I could prosper during this recession. My previous business was draining me mentally and financially.

I am working towards building a business that can provide opportunities for my daughters when they graduate from college and prove to myself that I can stand on my two feet financially.
