Barb's Candle Business

Hi! I'm Barb Sibbing and am happy to be connecting with you. I'm sure that my story is very similar to so many others, in fact it could be just like yours.

I'm a mom, mother-in-law, sister, daughter, friend and a home business owner. I began working from home in November 2001. I originally pursued this because I didn't want my son in day care. I didn't want anyone to see his "firsts", the first time he rolled over, crawled, walked or talked. I was his mother and I'm supposed to see all of these beautiful stages in my child's life. I grew up on a farm; yes, a farmer's daughter. I guess that is why I just love gardening so much; to be outdoors, planting and growing beautiful flowers, plants, trees and of course some great tasty veggies.

I have a garden page on Squidoo, it you love to garden and are looking for some new ideas, check it out. DIY Gardening Tips

We were living on one income and that was not easy with all the bills we had and a new baby. I'm sure you most of you know how much it cost to raise a child.

I "dabbled" in one home business after another after another and went back and forth between businesses. I lost track of how many I tried.

I want a business that I could run from home, to be with my son, take care of my husband and our home. What I kept finding was that these "home businesses" kept me away from home more than if I was still working in "Corporate America."

I did find a business that I liked and ran with and my business took off. I loved talking with people about the product and the earning opportunity. I brought over 200 people into this business. I loved what I was doing, but once again I was gone a lot and my husband was not happy. So once again I quit the business.

Then I found this great candle company and I loved candles, so this should be a piece of cake. I can do this from home and from my computer. I didn't have to go outside the home to sell my product or build a team. But once again I was told it was taking too much of my time. I was also told over and over again and again that only certain people can make the "big bucks" in this type of work, that it takes a certain type of person and that it wasn't me. So once again I quit.

Now, I'm sure you can see a theme here. Start a business then quit. I thought maybe he was right that it did take a certain person to make the "big bucks" and to succeed in this type business. So I gave up.

Then I had a life change - a big life change. After 25 years of marriage I found myself getting a divorce. A very hard word for me to say or type or to even think about. After the initial shock wore off, I realized that I was better off now.

I lived with many years of abuse, verbal, emotional, mental, psychological and kept from having friends.

I had buried this abuse for so many years and had never told anyone not even my family. I was ashamed, embarrassed and felt that maybe I did something to warrant this type of treatment. After a while I just got so used to it that it just became a way of life. It became "normal."

I realized I needed to find a job - to make a living. I had not been out in "Corporate America" in over twenty years.

I found a job in "Corporate America" once again, however, my earnings were not the best. Making ends meet just was impossible.

I know that I could start a home based business.

It has been several months now since he left and I have grown so much. I now have self-confidence; my self-esteem is at an all time high but most of all I have my self-respect back.

Ok, now I'm on my own and I knew that I needed to start making some money. I also knew that I really enjoyed running a home business, I enjoyed (ok loved) talking with people and helping others to achieve their goals.

I loved running a home business and well I had a lot of practice!

So I decided that now is the time to take back control of my life! I have not felt so alive, so good or so happy in years!

However, I decided that before I jumped back into any home business (been there done that and got the T-shirt) I decided that I was going to take my time and look at some of the businesses that I "dabbled" in over the years.

I know I wanted something in a business that was fast growing, not a passing fad, not a get rich quick scheme, something that would provide me with an ongoing residual income for years and years.

I also wanted more than one way to make money. I wanted choices, I wanted multiple streams of income.

I also didn't want to have to spend hundreds of dollars every two weeks or monthly just to make money on my team members.

I wanted something I could do on the internet, because let's face it the internet is here to stay and it's the best way to build a business; the fastest way to get your name out there.

I wanted something that appealed to me, a product I would use, a product that I like (ok loved), a product I would be excited about to share with everyone. It also needed to be able to appeal to the masses.

I wanted teamwork, to associate with like-minded people and I wanted to decide what I was worth in terms of a paycheck.

It's never been easier or more affordable to start a business of your own. The internet has opened more doors than we imagined possible. Not to make it sound too easy, because it isn't, contrary to what some people want you to think.

It does take dedication, but the knowledge of just knowing that you accomplished a business success story that is all your own.

If you would like to know more about my journey, you can find out about me and my story at Just Who Is Barb Sibbing?.

Just imagine starting a business with $50, your imagination, your network of friends and relationships.

Freedom of time, of lifestyle and the income to support it are being created through the Internet and Network Marketing.

This is Not Your Father's Network Marketing.

Also, this isn't make a list of 200 or more people you know then go after them and hound them every day until they start to avoid you when they see you coming.

I was not a fast starter in the home based business, network marketing world and remember I had an ex-husband who wanted to make sure that I knew that I couldn't do this, that I did not have what it took to succeed in a home based business, network marketing business.

So, for years I gave up on myself believing he was right. Wow, was I ever wrong.

I am now committed to my success and personal growth, I am educating myself. I listen to CD's, conference calls and read a lost of books, and attend seminars when I can. My commitment is paying off. I'm grateful everyday. I'm still reading, listening and learning.

I wanted a home business and that I had to find the best company, product, and income possibilities and only do it once. No more going from one company to another trying them out. I wanted to find the best and work on growing the business.

Here is what I was looking for when I started to look for a home based business, network marketing business.

  • Flexibility ~ no more 9 to 5, or a boss
  • Working with people
  • Ability to create more than a hobby income
  • Spend time doing what I want, when I want.

I'm not offering a get rich quick scheme. You can make money quickly, but it does take work, effort and consistency. This is the only way you will get what you want.

It will provide you with a great income, you'll be your own boss and be able to spend more time with your family and friends. Time, freedom and great income what more could you ask for?

I have learned a lot on my journey these past several years - in reaching this point in my life and let me tell you that I would not change a thing. What I have been though has made me a stronger person today and I have learned a lot along the way as well.

I work in a business that is recession proof, it is fast growing and there is something for everyone.

I can and will continue making money, when I'm at church, out shopping, out on the town for "girls night" with my friends and even when I sleeping. How cool is that, making money when I'm asleep.

That's the benefit of residual income. Gotta love it.

I can do this - you can do this and don't ever let anyone tell you anything differently.

I'm committed to supporting, training and coaching you in the way YOU want to build your business, whether it's off line, online or both.

Our team has a detailed training program for all aspects of the business that will get you started with what you need to be successful.

It takes more than just signing your name on a piece of paper -that's just the beginning. Our team has resources and tools to help you succeed.

It starts with the Partnership Agreement and the Roadmap to Success which will be sent to you upon signing.

Our team is the fastest growing team in the company. I'm going To The Top and I want you to join me on this great journey.

I would love to network with you and find out more about you.

Have You Met ROS?


- I Cordially Invite You To-


Have you ever had a business meeting at fine restaurant? Have you ever been involved in social gathering that involved food, wine and cocktails? I would venture to say you have enjoyed such an experience.

Regardless the event, be it fundraiser, networking or business dinner your culinary knowledge of foods, wines and cocktails can become the ice breaker to opening new relationships at these events. It’s the common ground we seek to open a conversation and be able to introduce ourselves. It’s a warm, soft non-offensive introduction.

I would like to share with you a new social community where you can gather this culinary knowledge, expand your network and have fun all at the same time. Meet and chat with Chefs, learn from top bartenders how to mix the perfect cocktail, listen to the wine experts review new and old wines, etc. etc.

So come join me at ROS, and help build our wonderful new community.

Cheers,
Allen

If you place your cursor on the bottom of the ROS badge below, the word Join will light up, if you click it – it will take you to the ROS sign-up page, thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
