It kinda stuck with me because of all my posts on facebook. I grew up in Lincoln, NE where both my parents had jobs. What was cool about my life was my father worked full-time for the BNSF railroad and my mother an Entrepreneur. One of my parents was always home with myself and my two younger sisters so I was never in daycare. As I grew up I made the decision to follow in my mother’s footsteps after college and become a business owner.  I loved the idea of no one ever telling me to clock in or clock out or when to take my lunch break and vacations, little did I know that owning a traditional business would be much worse. Because I didn’t want to send my kids to daycare I decided to open my own.  I started with one and then ended  operating three daycare centers. They were open 6am to 9pm everyday and when an employee called in sick, I had to work. When a parent didn’t pick up their child at closing time, I had to work… You get the idea right? I was trading my time for money and it had to stop.

Many work-at-home moms and dads may be familiar with motivational author Jim Rohn, who offered this advice: “Take a second look at your life and where you’re headed…You may be one of those who have become so involved in the process of earning a living that you’ve forgotten about the choices and the chances you have for designing your own life.”

That’s when I decided to look at other opportunities to make money and just a few weeks later ViSalus Sciences came into my life. With in 6 months I had started to replace my income from my 3 traditional businesses and exactly 2 years later I was out of the Daycare Industry for good and became a full-time Network Marketing “stay at home” MOM.

I’m very passionate about helping people with their health. I truly believe that if you don’t have your health you have nothing. Over the last 5 years I have helped thousand of people lose weight, stabilize their blood pressure, lower their cholesterol and level out their blood sugars. One gentleman named Tony in Murrieta, Ca has lost over 90 pounds on the Body By Vi Challenge and his grand children can NOW sit on his lap. Lonnie down 44 lbs,  Yodi 42lbs, Tracy 35 lbs, Margaret 32 lbs, Dale 28 lbs and all in 90 days or less. Stories like these are what keeps me going. I have also helped over 209 people get into FREE BMW’s, yes you read it right 209 Free BMW’s. Not to mention a few thousand dollars a month in their pockets.

I believe that everyone should live their lives to the fullest and that Entrepreneurship can provide that opportunity. Find something your passionate about and JUST DO IT!
