Not "Just" A Small Business Owner

Posted on my Facebook page on 5/15/15: 

I work HARD at what I do. I am not "just" a small business owner. I work long hours to continue to help other people feel good about themselves and lead long healthy, and fulfilling lives. I spend my time coming up with content to share that adds VALUE to other people's lives. I give away advice and coaching for FREE - even if people don't buy from me or pay a dime- and I help people find the most cost-effective solution to help them meet their goals.

-I am an entrepreneur
-I help people go after their hopes and dreams
-I encourage, inspire, and motivate
-I support action over inaction
-I help others create their vision and develop a plan of attack for it
-I encourage SMART goals- specific and measurable with a deadline!
-I lift people up
-I go out of my way to cheer up others when they're feeling low
-I offer my time and my prayers
-I serve others.

Please, do not for one second think that:
1. I don't love or care about you
2. That I am selfish
3. That I am ungrateful
4. That I do not have good intentions
5. That I do not have your best interests at heart

In my personal opinion, we should be supporting and encouraging one another to go after our dreams! We shouldn't tear others down or make them feel "less" because they don't have the typical job or because they "annoy" you with their posts.

If you sell fitness or health products, nail wraps, purses or bags, jewelry, kitchen appliances/cookware, candles, food, lashes, oils...any of these things- I APPLAUD YOU for taking a leap into the harsh and cruel world that can sometimes greet the unsuspecting entrepreneur. I applaud you and I support you for trying to provide for your family and create financial freedom and a better life for them. I encourage you to ignore the haters, the ones that claim to be your friends and then bash you and your efforts- as if you haven't been pouring your heart, soul and sweat into your business. They act as if your business wasn't as worthy as their line of work. I know how hurtful and offensive those people can be...and for that, I apologize on their behalf. Do not let them discourage you. No one can take your dreams from you.

I just want to say that whoever you are & wherever you are- if you're a mompreneur looking to create a better life for your family, know this: I love you. I applaud you. Keep on keeping on, mommas, because if we can't support each other with love, or at the very least scroll on by without judgement...then what does that say about us?

Are You Dealing With Difficulties, too?

I've been overwhelmed lately with my situation, and I think I've figured out a good way to deal with how I'm feeling, so I wanted to create a video and share in case others are feeling the same as me.

If this helps even one other person, then it was worth it to share from my heart!

Join the Revolution

Recently, I started listening to the Wicked soundtrack (again). For those of you who don’t know, I’m a Broadway junkie. I LOVE live theater and getting to go see a show...I have an official Playbill binder where I keep my stash of Playbills from all the shows that I have attended...but that’s not what’s important.

Here’s the key--> I think we can learn a lot from lyrics; they are a reflection of the character who sings them...and I see a lot of myself in this character, Elphaba. Yes, she’s the Wicked witch, but she’s so much more than that! She is someone who is NOT willing to SETTLE. NO WAY! She isn’t going to accept anyone else’s definition of who she is and she learns not to run from her differences, but to embrace them as her strengths. She’s also kind of a bada** and I love that she doesn’t take any bull from anyone. She is strong and she is defiant- defying even gravity because nothing is going to get in the way of what she wants. I can relate to that- because that’s the kind of confidence that I have in myself and in my business.

I KNOW that I am helping people achieve their goals--> 

• to lose weight
• to feel more confident
• to break bad habits
• to make new friends
• to get out of debt
• to build a business
• to stay home with their families
• to travel

All of these goals AND MORE are being realized daily by my challengers and my coaches. You might be sitting here thinking “good for them” and feeling slightly jealous...but I want to ask you, if any of these goals resonate with you and if you feel that you want to do something MORE with your life than what you’ve been dealing with now and you want to make a CHANGE, then WHY NOT YOU? Join the revolution and let’s defy gravity together!

Apply here for my challenge or for my team (or both!). You decide. You have the power. YOU have the potential to be great. I believe in you. Let’s do this!
