"Although I had to start all over at the ripe old age of 50 with the sole responsibility of raising three children alone, I believed I could do it. Securing a sense of self belief is the most difficult part of this business. Market America has made it possible for so many of my dreams to come true."
"I've been able to enjoy a life most people just dream about because we kept at it. I was able to be home for my girls through their high school years. I was able to attend all of their activities and sporting events because my time was mine. I spent my part-time hours making myself rich and not making a boss in the corporate pyramid rich. I've been fortunate to be able to travel to many countries on personal spiritual quests. I was able to be with my ailing father in his final years because of the strong ongoing income from Market America. Those shared moments with family are invaluable and can never be replaced. I suffered a debilitating illness for a year and a half, yet the checks kept coming. Monday is my favorite day of the week!"
After 15 years as a stay-at-home mom, I became single once again with little choice but to market myself and return to the 8-to-5 routine of a daily work schedule.
I had 10 years of teaching experience before I became a parent, but I discovered this background and three education degrees were seemingly irrelevant in the present school environment. I loved teaching and hated the idea of starting another profession, so it was with great reluctance that I began selling financial securities for an insurance company. I soon found myself leaving home in the dark and coming home in the dark. My kids were home alone and I hated leaving them to fend for themselves. To top it off, one day my neighbor called me at work and said, "Where were you? Your daughter just ran her first cross country race and finished a half a mile ahead of everyone else and you missed it." That hurt! I couldn't get off work to go to any of my kids' activities.
Initially the insurance job was great and I appreciated my immediate boss, but the powers that be failed to reward us for the long hours and successful sales volume we created. When my immediate boss left the company, I knew I wasn't far behind. Fortunately, one of my clients introduced me to this new concept called the Mall without Walls™™. I knew my client made a ton of money and had a golden touch, so I sat down and watched him draw out the business plan on a legal pad. His successful reputation and his enthusiasm made me jump at the chance of creating a financial dream for my family. I decided I wanted to change my life and give Market America a try in 1994. I kept my insurance job, and after every business presentation, I'd ask, "Who's the most entrepreneurial person you know?" The referrals started rolling in and I was soon up and running with my part-time Market America business.
