Howdy! ¡Hola! Grüss Gott! Ciao! Bonjour! Thank you for taking the time to visit and get to know a bit about me. Hopefully my “welcome” gave away the fact that I love languages - because I love people. Sharing my story with you is my way of letting you take a peek into the heart and soul of who I am. Do we have common aspirations? Values? Goals? Dreams? Am I someone you will feel comfortable having as a business coach? Well, read on and see… Growing up on a ranch, horses, cattle, orphan deer, barnyard fowl, fields, forest, vegetable gardens and the wonders of nature filled my world. My best friend and confidant was an amazingly patient horse named Babe. How could I have endured those tender years without her? At age 13, my family moved from Mira Loma, California to Yelm, which was then to a tiny town in western Washington State. My parents were loving, hard working folks. They gave me great amounts of time and shared their example of how to do your best to live a life of strength, contribution and individual worth. Mom and Dad knew that having strong spiritual values and a good education were very important and did all they could to provide these for me. I hold these values dear to my heart and am grateful for all they did for me. This all sounds so serious. Let me assure you we were pretty “normal”. We spent a lot of time together doing what we loved: working with our horses and cattle, fishing, gardening and generally just being together outdoors. I was Dad’s shadow. I learned fairly early that it just doesn’t do to lean down too closely to inspect what he was hammering on! And, can you imagine the patience of a man trying to teach an 8 year old how to tie a bowline knot? Mom was quite a character. She loved to explore and do new things. Actually it seemed that I did all the new things and she watched! One day after church, she decided that since it was low tide “we” should go dig oysters. Trust me, one does not “dig” oysters. After an hour of frenetic attempts to “dig quickly enough to catch them”, an amused observer demonstrated it is MUCH easier to simply pick them from the rocks standing nearby! If you were able to peek into the years of my life between ages 13 and 50, you would view a dizzying array of incredible experiences. The opportunities I was given to travel, experience a number of cultures, live in amazing places and be so very blessed by friends and family seem practically impossible to imagine in one lifetime. Naturally there were the challenges, tears, and losses that provided the tempering and strengthening. Through these times, I chose to focus not on what I “lost” or endured…but what I learned, how my faith expanded and the loved ones who stood by me, strengthened me, and cheered me onward. After working my way through college I received a commission as an Ensign in the US Navy Nurse Corps. I loved my military career. All 20 years of it! There were lots of adventures, including duty on aircraft carriers, living on a remote Aleutian island, and serving in a war zone. In the late eighties, I met a delightful gentleman who became my very best friend and fishing buddy. Shep and I were married in 1988 and combined our two families. He was instant “Mr. Mom” to a very busy 5 year old son and I was blessed to become a mother to another wonderful son…. all as I began my anesthesia residency. As I was serving in the Navy with frequent deployments at sea, Shep was successful in his efforts to be a husband, father and homemaker. I am the first to admit that deep inside, I longed to be the one at home being the homemaker and full time Mom. If this had been possible, I would have been there. However, due to my service obligations and educational payback time, it simply wasn’t. Because of this, I find great joy in helping other Moms and Dads to be able to reach their financial goals and be able to remain where their heart is, at home with their children. As Shep worked diligently to develop a successful home-based business, I have to confess that I was not always as supportive as I should have been. Why? I did not understand the business model, or the true potential of network marketing. I witnessed my husband work very hard, develop a large success line, then have the company he was involved with change to a direction he was not interested in going. Additionally I had some negative experiences with “network marketing people” who tried pushing their business on me. I mistakenly interpreted this as what network marketing was all about. I was wrong. In retrospect I now know that these individuals were trying hard but were either very poorly trained or not trained at all. As we became involved with our current company we came to know the owners and their integrity…both as individuals and as businesspeople. Shep stepped forward to quickly build a successful business and this time I vowed to do everything I could to be a supportive partner. Shortly thereafter, I became aware that I could not physically continue to work the 80-100 hour weeks my practice demanded. This spurred my desire to help develop a good, strong residual income. Today I am proud to be a network marketing professional. I love being able to work from home and determine my work schedule. I am excited to represent a unique company which produces incredibly yummy gourmet vegetable candles and spa quality products that we provide to our growing, happy customer base. What excites and rewards me the most, however, is to watch our growing team of Business Partners reach success. Our position as the Founding Distributors and very first team of husband/wife Directors gives me an opportunity to share what I have learned to help people just like you accomplish their personal goals. If you decide that this business is a “go” for you, you will discover that I am very focused and committed to working with you, one on one, so you have a firm foundation for your success. You will have a solid education and a full complement of business methods at your fingertips. And, through our team training calls and online community, you will meet our other business partners and join a team of positive, energetic, supportive, and successful women and men. I could go on and on, but here’s the bottom line: If you want to be in control of your time and finances so that you can determine how you live your life….if you are serious about starting and succeeding in you own business and if you understand that it takes effort and dedication to be successful, call me. It will be worth your time to see if what we have will give you the opportunity to live your life the way you want.
