At the start of my career, I was a twenty-something starving artist trying to live out my dreams as a dancer on the big Broadway stage. Because of all the negativity and noise and ney-sayers I quit on myself and my dreams and decided to dive into the 9-5 world and joined the rate race in New York City.
I climbed the ladder and landed that “dream job” aka. Managing director position and an office on Park Avenue, but, it was far from a dream.
Giving my all, getting a nice paycheck every two weeks, I was still missing that something. I was unfulfilled, unhappy, and stressed every day. The day I gave birth to my first child, everything changed for me. Trying to balance it all, a kid, a marriage, a career, my sanity...I felt like a total mess and complete failure.
IT WAS NOT THE LIFE I DREAMT OF AND WORKED SO HARD FOR.
I wanted to break free from the corporate world, make an impact on others and I wanted more out of life. I wanted to be a present mom, but I also wanted the freedom to work hard around my own schedule and not the schedule that someone made for me. Why should it be so difficult?! Isn’t that what we ALL want!?
There didn’t seem to be a way to suit all of my dreams, but in my heart I there there had to be an answer.
That’s when I was introduced to network marketing. I fell in love with the idea of freedom of owning my 24, independence from a boss, the idea of no alarm clocks, ditching my heels for flip flops, and never having to ask for a day off!
