Get to know me.
I will try not to bore you here... Well, not too much :)
I was born in Chicago, Illinois and my first few years of life I lived in Cicero, Illinois (ooo the mobster town! LOL...the good old days!) Then moved out and raised in the western suburbs in my kindergarten years. I enjoy the changing seasons very much and I particularly like autumn.
I graduated high school and went to work in corporate America as an executive secretary (hmm, do they even use the word secretary anymore? Back then most of us girls didn't even think of college... But just got a job, found a husband and had babies. Crazy, huh?
That only lasts a couple of years as I married and had four beautiful children and now my role was homemaker or, to coin Roseanne Barr, a "Domestic Goddess."
During that time, I was many things as you can imagine, plus I helped my husband build a side business of a hobby store that sold diecast cars, trucks and trains. Although working at a major corporation, money was still tight having four children...so we turned his hobby into a thriving business.
Once the kids were grown and in high school, I chose to go back to school to learn skin care. After all, I wanted to learn how to fight the "hands of time," which then led me to having my own salon/spa.

Long story short...after 10 years in the beauty industry and having the typical brick and mortar on top of the 15 years of the hobby story and all of the situations and circumstances that come with long hours, overhead, inventory and employees, I just felt it was time to move on and get out the rat race that all entailed.
Since learning to market the businesses online and offine, I grew to know and got more and more involved with what the internet had to offer...with NO overhead, NO inventory, NO employees and NO long hours, unless I wanted to!
So for the past 3 years I have been working from home and have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars weeding through the rubbish reviewing Network Marketing, MLM and online money making concepts and opportunities, in order to find a few that I could build a business around.
Unfortunately, what I found the most were just offers that had no substance and most would call scams. Plus had to buy endless products, go to endless meetings and attend countless webinars! Now I am sure there are plenty of scams out there, but I also know that there are plenty of people that do not put an effort into something this is truly genuine and then they just "poo-poo" and bad mouth the opportunity. When in fact, it would have been the perfect opportunity for them had they just been diligent and kept on plugging along.
However, what I did find the most was that most of the people that were offering these opportunities just hid behind their computer and gave no support to those that were "buying into" their programs and then the people that bought in just get frustrated and say that it all just doesn't work. That is just not cool!
As I plugged along, remained focused and believed that I will find exactly what I was looking for...I did!
Listen, what I am most grateful for in regards to my business is that because I did do the time and spent the money on all of those programs and information, not to mention books, CDs and DVDs...I am now armed and ready to help those that join me.
This website/blog is dedicated to sharing with you my home business and the tools that I use to build it. And, of course, tidbits of information that I think you will find useful in whatever business you are building.
So, if you are interested in taking your home business to the next level, then check out what I am dong and make sure you remain a part of my newsletter.
Take care, God Bless and I wish you the very best in your home business.
Celebrating your success,
Andrea
