Welcome to my blog. Please send me your questions and comments.

Seizing the day and using our God-given talents: This is why my sister and I chose MLM (multilevel marketing) as the basic structure for our business.

HELPING OTHERS BY BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES

At age nine, I taught my three-year-old sister Angel how to read.

Our parents were great in sales but steered us into stable but stressful professional positions with strict hours, little opportunity for advancement, few financial incentives, and a forest of paperwork resulting from governmental rules and regulations. In order to meet the demands of our careers in education and social work, we had been putting our unfulfilled dreams and talents under a bushel. Nevertheless, we were able to retire early from these jobs and to collect very limited pensions that paid our bills but not much more.

Why did we leave the comfort of retirement?
We believe we are expected to freely share our God-given talents with everyone we meet. No longer encumbered by the restrictions of our former careers, we are able to express our true selves (Angel the musician and Di the herbalist) and realize our dreams by seizing the day and letting our light shine. We can balance work, play and dreams.

How and why did we become involved in network marketing? Although Angel and I had dabbled in a few other networking companies in the past, it was my chiropractor who introduced us to therapeutic grade essential oils and the grass roots, seed to seal, MLM company that grows and distills them. We were so excited by the essential oils, so in love with their fragrances and their benefits, and so thrilled by the limitless financial opportunity and freedom of MLM that we decided to use essential oils as the basis of our MLM business to which we brought our love of people and respect for the environment. To us, multilevel, network or relationship marketing is a direct way to help people unleash, improve and share their talents and to have fun in the process. In MLM, founded on trust and cooperation, personal efforts at all levels of the business organization profit both giver and receiver. An anonymous quote on a business card phrased it this way: “The fragrance of the rose lingers on the hand of the giver.”

What tips do we have for entrepreneurs?

Follow your heart.

Dream big.

Do not fear, only believe.

Let your light shine.

...and What Do YOU think?

Until next time, many Blessings,

Di
