Wow.
My apologies for taking the past few months off! Back in December I began a new business and it has just been a phen-o-menal experience! So much to say about it and so many times over the past few months I’ve wanted to blog about my experiences but I felt I needed to do an “intro” about the fact that I began my new business before I started blogging about it.
So here we are!
I am now in my business for 3 months. What kind of business, you ask? I opened my own business with a company called Arbonne. If you haven’t heard of them yet, don’t worry, you will. Arbonne is nearly a one-billion-dollar-a-year-company and we are not yet a household name. Rest assured, we are well on our way to becoming one. We are a network marketing company that began in 1980. We offer amazing botanically-based skin care products plus health and wellness products which deliver results. And the business opportunity tied to these amazing products changes lives. I have personally seen it happen in only the few short months that I’ve been involved.
If you’ve read this blog before (or my bio) then you know that in August 2008 I was laid off after 18 years in Corporate America working as Computer Programmer. Within one year of my layoff, my salary with Arbonne will surpass my (very decent) Computer Programmer’s salary. Difference being, now *I* decide which hours and how many hours I work (and believe me, its no longer a 40-hour PLUS work week!). I don’t have to let someone else decide how much I am going to be paid. No more HOPING I get my 3% raise each year! In fact, the difference between my 2nd paycheck with Arbonne and my 3rd paycheck was an increase of 985%!! Yes, you read that correctly! I was able to give myself a 985% salary increase in one month. And the best thing is… there is no limit to what I can earn.
I realize this probably sounds a little “rah-rah” and too good to be true. I thought the same thing. But now that I’ve lived it, I can tell you that it IS absolutely possible. Believe me, working in Corporate America for as long as I did, I guess I always figured I’d have a "Corporate job" for the rest of my life. And while I was doing it, it was fiiiiine. I made good money, I bought a few houses, bought a few vehicles over the years. Had no complaints. As the slowly layoffs began in my industry, I decided to open and run a gift shop alongside my full-time Programmer job in an effort to make additional income. I worked 100+ hours per week for y-e-a-r-s. I was shot. I was never home. And I honestly believed THAT was the only path to make extra money. Not even GOOD money, just some extra money. Just work you’re a*s off, have no personal life and perhaps one day you'll have a few extra bucks. And again, that business model was perfectly acceptable to me. It absolutely never occurred to me there could be another way to make great money and even have FREE TIME to spare. Little did I know...
Its quite interesting how vastly different my view of "making money" is now. In only a few short months, my world has changed. And what makes it so fantastic is that I get to help others change their worlds too. By helping others succeed, I in turn, succeed. Doesn't get better than that.
