While I had a lot to learn about marketing, I was hooked on entrepreneurship from the get-go!

I've just launched my first business, making Barbie clothes out of Kleenex and attempting to sell them to the boys across the street.

I'm operating a daycare during the day, a nail salon in the evenings, and a specialty foods business on the weekends, so that I can stay home with my children.

I was clueless about Human Design but even then this Manifesting Generator was a beast!

Fun fact! I won Business Person of the Year in 2007 as I had grown my little shop to iconic status around these parts. 

I open my first retail store 10 days before the world implodes. Despite overwhelming odds, we build a community and a thriving network of customers that spans 150 miles and 13 years. 

Our family life flows entirely with the rhythm of a retail business. My children learning customer service and entrepreneurship through osmosis.  

I close my store and head back to college. I study and certify in Holistic Nutrition, become a yoga teacher with an emphasis on senior caregivers, and pursue Reiki training. 

I do this because I have lost myself. My nest is empty, but not as empty as the gaping hole where my heart used to live. I have forgotten who I am without the basketball games, the weekend tournaments, the house full of teenagers.  

While I'm not even remotely convinced that it will work, I dive in with both feet and go lady balls to the wall.  Within 14 months, I've reached the top 7% of the company and have a six figure salary to boot. 

We pay off 400k of debt in 4 years. I build my direct sales business alongside my holistic health practice, climbing all the way up to the top 1% of leaders.
