Moving the Tribe

How often is it that you can pick up your business, move it cross-country and have no fear of change in income?

Welcome to my business.

The beauty of direct sales is by far its flexibility.  You decide when you are working, how much you will work and where you will work.  You decide if you need a pay raise.  You choose what inspires you, and you make it happen.

In planning our cross-country move, one of the first things I had to do was get my house ready to sell.  We purchased this home with two toddlers and a seven year old in tow; eight years later you can imagine the wear and tear!  All carpets needed replacement, walls needed painting, stuff needed to be packed up for storage or Goodwill.  The last two months have been full of hustle, sometimes working 12-15 hours in a day to get the house ready to sell.  Remarkably, my business did not suffer.  During that time I personally sold over $6000 in product, and our team produced an appreciation event entitled "Don't Be a Fashion Fool" for April Fool's Day.  I held three meetings, and flew to my new home state for an extended weekend.

A month from now, I hope to be "settled" in my new hometown.  Thus far, I know my husband's bosses, my new health insurance agent, and my new car insurance agent and his secretary.  I am literally starting from scratch to rebuild my home show business, and this is the exciting story of how I will grow a new tribe in a new area.  I am excited to be posed with this challenge; to live first hand what I have trained.  I invite you to follow in this journey.
