My dad’s an acupuncturist. My mom works with him; she’s the bookkeeper and the social glue. They came to America for the opportunity, several decades ago. They have owned their own business for as long as I’ve known them. #SelfEmployed 

When I was about 11 yrs old, my dad got sick. Really sick. In the hospital-couldn’t-work-sick. My mom was scared. VERY scared. Without him working, the money STOPPED coming in. Two girls with college in the future, no income for an indefinite time, what am I going to do? (Wow, I’m getting stressed out just thinking about this….)#ResidualBills #PlanB

She found network marketing and worked her butt off. There were long days, even longer nights, faxing at all hours, conference calls, traveling, speaking engagements, etc. Was it worth it? #Dedicated#committeed #focused 

Result: she created enough income to completely renovate our home, put my sister and I through college, to name a few things. She’s impacted thousands of lives in the process. ❤️ As skilled as my dad is, his income could never afford all of that, nor the trips we went on as a family. #Impact#choices

Here’s to all the parents out there working their tails off to provide for their families. It’s an honorable thing to do. I’m now understanding the impact of Network Marketing as a profession and the opportunities it affords families. And I’m not talking about the tangible, flashy stuff either. I’m talking about the things that really matter; the memories, the personal growth lessons, the places people go, the people you meet, how you can give back, etc. It is by no means a perfect profession, nor is it for everyone, but it’s pretty incredible. #ChangingLives 

There are so many people who participate in this industry, more than who would like to admit, unfortunately. But how many other industries out there, where you need no degree, no resume, but a desire for more, where you can help your best of friends become wildly successful? It’s exciting to me, no matter what industry or what company they choose. I am truly grateful. I love the people who this industry is attracting to me.
