Here We Go!!

Okay, I am starting this blog to document my journey as I move toward achieving financial freedom. I have to start by saying that I have never been so excited or passionate about ANYTHING "work" related in my life. So, what did I do that can stir such strong feelings about a job? Wait for it...I joined a Multi-level Marketing company.

This is something that I honestly never thought I would do. I had a preconceived notion about what these companies did and what they represented. Yes the term "Pyramid Scheme" had popped into my mind in the past. However, my hair stylist, Francesca, casual presented what she was doing with a company called Rodan and Fields in the summer of 2011. I was pregnant with my second child and my husband was in ICU after having part of his colon removed. In other words, I had a lot going on in my life and didn't think much of it. Fast-forward to January 2012. I was blissfully enjoying maternity leave and was sitting on the couch nursing my newborn (we welcomed cutie pie Maisie into our lives 12/12/11). I was racking my brain about ways to earn more money. I wasn't thinking about ways to change our tax bracket, just ways to earn extra every month to help cover the nanny when I returned to work. That is when I remembered Francesca's business card in my wallet. I pulled it out and meant to contact her about it. Two days later I received an invite from another friend for her "launch" party with the same company. I knew I needed to learn more. Well, I did learn more, I signed up, and haven't looked back.

So here, with this blog, is where I will track my progress (ie SUCCESS) with Rodan + Fields Dermatology.
There are 3 things that will make me successful:
  1. I love the line-it is an amazing product. I have PASSION(see below on who Rodan + Fields are or click above)
  2. We are working in a GROWING $2.5 BILLION industry
  3. The product is a replenishable item that people will love
Now to clarify, there is nothing "pyramid" about this business model at all. It is an underutilized tool that makes more millionaires than any other business model. I like my job with HON, I do well there, but I will never get rich doing it. Wait, did I say millionaire and rich? Didn't I just say earlier I wanted some extra cash each month and that is it? Well, after I learned more about the company and my potential, a reset my expectations BIG TIME. With Rodan + Fields I will be able to quit my corporate job- my goal is 3 years. I want a better life for myself and my family. I want to travel with Chris and the girls. I want to work for myself and be successful! I am pumped for my future!

So come on this journey with me either by following my blog, trying the skin care product for yourself or joining my team!!

  1. Got around to checking it out. I always felt you were a strong girl without knowing you. I don't know much of the business model, but you know I became interested in you when you had to go through hard times, and you have been a pretty good friend of mine. Life is about that type of stuff too.

    Take care and be well. :)

    Glad you will be blogging again too. :)
