Well, I’m on a mission to change that and here’s why…
Let me start with a little background information. I really don’t get off into my personal info because I am really an introvert at heart
but I really want to share this with you so you can know that I am a real person and have challenges just like everyone else.
So, here goes…
I am a former Software Engineer that got laid off from a major insurance company. My choice was to either move to some gloomy and
dismal place or be laid off. Now, I’m not much for living in a place that is boring and quite frankly one that I can’t stand so my husband
and I decided to move to where we wanted to live and not have someone else tell us "If you want to keep this job you have to move
where we say". Un un... that wasn't happening.
Given my background as a Software Engineer for 10+ years, my husband was ok with me not working for a while because I could easily
find a job anywhere. So, I took the time to work on building my business and getting our girls acclimated to the new area. Well, a few
years later I decided to go back to work because I was just not finding success with my online business. I didn’t have any trouble getting
interviews, but had a really rough time finding work.
The feedback that came back from my interviews was we really like her but we’re not sure that she can come up to speed after being
out of work for so long. Now that's laughable because I found out later from inside sources I knew that they hired people with little to no
experience and ended up having problems with those individuals. Anyway, I finally did get a job but I was still stuck in the same dilemma.
Lack of control and freedom over my own life.
So, I continued down the entrepreneurial path... learning a ton of things and coming to the realization that a lot of people were struggling
with this. You know the biggest thing I saw is that people didn't even know what they didn’t know. Sure they followed what their upline or
company told them but for a lot of people (through no fault of their own) that was not enough because most didn't really get down to the
nitty gritty of what needed to be done in order to be successful. And if you continue down this path, your dream of freedom dies.
Now, that really made me mad and still does to this day because I know that we were put here to enjoy life and enjoying life means that
you are making a positive contribution doing what you love. Enjoying life means you must also have the freedom to do so. Having the
freedom to do so means you have to have financial vehicles in place that work for you.
If you think about it, how can you be totally free if someone else is calling the shots with when you work, how much you work and how
much they are going to pay you to work? Now, I'm not knocking Corporate America because it certainly does have its' benefits and its' place
but that's not the only way. I realized that if you don't want to be totally dependent on that, you've got to do something different.
That's why, I’m on a mission to change that whether you work in Corporate America and especially if you are already online trying to make
a go of it. Bottom line, no matter which category you fit in, we all want FREEDOM.
