Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to have my own business. After high school, I joined the Navy, got married, and now have three beautiful kids. I earned my bachelor's degree and thought I was on track for future promotions when I realized that it wasn't what I really wanted. So, earlier this year I decided to accept a severance package, quit my job and figure out what I really wanted to do next. Several interviews later, I realized that my heart just wasn't into getting yet another J.O.B. (Just Over Broke).
So, what now? My own business... a network marketing business actually.
I have been tinkering around with home businesses for over ten years now. I say tinkering because like many others who have "tried that kind of business", I had a couple of meetings/parties, obnoxiously shared with friends and family, and quickly placed the biz on the back burner. I had lots of excuses for why I couldn't work the business consistently (I am working on my degree, I am exhausted from my J.O.B., I am working toward a promotion, my kids and family need me right now...). You know, the usual...
So, it was time to dust my home office and finally open my home business - for real. I compared some of the businesses I had already been involved with over the years to create a list of what worked and what didn't. I researched several different businesses before I selected
my company. And here I am.
What is next? I have been trying to read about how to use both online and offline marketing - especially with a small budget. I stumbled upon this network, and found some great information immediately. I have been avoiding negative-minded people as much as possible, and I have recently met some very inspiring and business focused individuals. We encourage each other and share experiences. For the first time, I have actually set goals and created a schedule for my home business.
Now, as you might have guessed, my hopes for a home business are a reality. I am networking like never before, and people are hungry for an alternative to the old myth/legend of working for a company for 30-40 years and retiring in comfort. My business is building, and I am excited about what is coming next...
Blessings,
Sonya

MyHotComments I wanted to say Hi and invite you to join the woman only club that will help you grow YOUR business (not start a business or build a "down line"). It's networking like nothing you can imagine and it will even allow global advertising. There are different levels of membership, great things online and off. You can just do the online stuff, or both. Check to see if there is a local chapter in your area, if not you can start one if you want. Come and join me in the "Pink"

It is Awesome to have You in My Universe!
I hope your days are truly blessed and Prosperous!
Please check out my newest business Blogs and remember just like in business....
In Africa, every morning a gazelle awakens knowing that it must outrun the fastest lion if it wants to stay alive.
Every morning, a lion wakes up knowing it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
Moral of the story:
It makes no difference whether you are a gazelle or a lion: When the sun comes up, you had better be RUNNING!
Please let me know how I can assist you in expanding Your Universe.
Pay It Forward!
Peace & Blessings
