Like many of you, I was working a full time, high powered job, and being a full time wife to a demanding husband. When I found out that I was pregnant with our first child, I prayed for quick relief. How could I commute two hours each day, keep a clean house, be a good wife, and learn how to becme a great mom to my newborn?!?! When we were first married, my husband promised me that I would be able to stay home with our children full time. Well...we enjoy nice things...the best clothes, dining out at fantastic restaurants, traveling to the the greatest vacations spots. It seemed almost impossible to keep our lifestyle AND quit my job once the baby was here. Needless to say I was SICK and TIRED both from the pregnancy and from the potential of an unkept promise.
When I was about 7 months pregnant, we were presented with an opportunity. Yes ladies, it was indeed a network marketing opportunity. We'd been with another company for FIVE YEARS, and though we loved the people, we were in denial that we weren't really making the amount of money we knew our work was worth. So, reluctantly I gave in....and it was the best financial decision we could have ever made.
By the time my son was born, Christmas Eve 2008, I was ready to leave my job for good. Who said I had to have a JOB to maintain the lifestyle I enjoyed? All I had to do was replace my income!!! After all, my boss, my husbands boss...they could fire either one of us at anytime. My boss in particular was already a very wealthy man, the pesident of his own company twice over and could care less about my financial situation.
Anyone who is serious about truly changing their families lives forever, should IMMEDIATELY do something about it. Why do we wait for some great sign to tell us what the right opportunity is? Why do we wait until we loose a job, a home, have an emergency situation that we were ill prepared for to discover we need to be putting our eggs in more than one basket? I was Sick and indeed Tired of building someone elses dream....so I stopped and started building mine!
I enjoyed reading your blog. It really made me think, especially when you addressed being sick and tired of building someone elses dreams and started building your own. I am also to that point. Great job!!!! Blessings to you and your family.
