Walking away from a $600 a day job was probably the scariest and, yet, best thing I could ever do!
You are probably going, "Yeah, right! I wish I had the $600 a day job." A couple of years ago, I would most definitely agree with you, but after reaching that level of income, and understanding the workload issues, and travel involved it began to affect my health and my family. That's right, the heart core of my life suffered! When what matters most begins to suffer from the efforts you are doing to supposedly make life better, then that is when decisions need to be made. At least I woke up and saw the writing on the wall.
I am not alone! Today, millions of people are sick and tired of being sick and tired, and are walking away from the corporate world in greater masses. The saying is so true that "Home is where the heart is".
As a loving mom to three kids, I knew this to be true from the moment my, now 18 year old, was placed in my arms at his birth! During the intervening time I had done everything possible to try to find balance between work and family. As a RN I worked part time, or job shared, or worked straight nights. Finally I gave up a secure nursing job, as it required me to work long 12 hour shifts. It just didn't work well with my family. Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to get a consulting position which was what I thought would be "IT", but found that although I worked mostly days, and no longer had to work nights, or weekends, found that the away time from my family was just as difficult. The option, was working from home. The vehicle, is online marketing.
So, you are probably asking, "What did you find online to make you leave the security of a well paying job"?
Well, that too is a story, as for several years I tried many home based businesses, both online and offline with dismal results. The products were good, the business plans, and commissions were truly genuinely great, but what was lacking was a comprehensive program of lead generating, and marketing education that wouldn't waste my money and time. Believe me, I was truly part of the 95% of work at home mom's and dad's that make up the abysmal stats that give networking a bad name, but I also knew that there was a 5% group that earn substantial income, and knew a system that works. I also knew that if I hung in there, I too, would find it! Guess what… "I finally did". The best part is that I am willing to share that secret with you.
My new mission in life is to help as many people become successful, and reach their core dreams, and goals. To obtain true fulfillment and prosperity, as it was truly meant to be. If you have read this far, then I will not disappoint you. If you truly want the success that I am achieving, then follow someone who has what you want. Learn from someone who has been there and done that, and doesn't want anyone else to travel the road of hard knocks. Live the life you truly desire. Work from home. Be there when your kids get up in the morning, and when they go to sleep at night. Be there for them. Never miss a school event again, and be there when they experience their first heartbreak, or when they need that hug, or simply to hear them say, "I love you, mom".
