12 Days of Christmas - Day 8 Start Your Business!!

I have always been entrepreneurial at heart. I think it is in my blood as many people in my family have businesses or had them in the past. Is this you too?

I started my Waterways Music business in 2006 as a music therapist and knew soon after that I would never work a J.O.B again. I loved the freedom of time, freedom of my schedule, freedom of income. It was and continues to be a great fit for me, especially now as I am home with my young boys.

In 2010 I became a distributor for Shaklee, the #1 natural nutrition company in the US, and something I grew up with.

Initially I did this for the product discounts and something I could do casually as a stay at home mom.

I found that I was continually sharing the products that I loved and used with my family, and my business was slowly growing without much effort from me.

In 2012 I decided to treat my business as a business and got more serious. My parents were promoted in Shaklee and enjoying extra income and a free trip to company headquarters in CA.

In 2013 I was also promoted to FastTrack Director and am really enjoying everything that comes along with that - for me it has always been about helping people. That was true as a music therapist and now as a health and wellness coach with Shaklee. I love helping people gain better health and also wealth with their business! It is very rewarding and something I can do with my busy family schedule. It has also helped me pay for my own product as well as help with my family income.

Many people do not realize that Shaklee has a wonderful earnings and benefits plan that anyone can do if they want to! Whatever your goals are - to help yourself and others gain better health and wealth, to take dream trips, make car payments….it is all available to you if you want it.

My team is expanding! If this seems like something you would like to check out, please contact me and we can chat about it.

Gratitude Challenge Day 21

I have had some interesting jobs in my life. My very first was in high school as my summer job working at a factory near my house. I was making $6 an hour which was top dollar back then and for a kid I got some nice pay checks! But it was HARD manual labor! I even had to wear steal toed shoes and be there by 6:30am  :)

I also worked as a pet sitter for my flute teacher and helped her file music for some extra money too. I had a 2 week stint in high school as a janitoress in the Mayor's office. I didn't realize that was the job when I took it.  A lot less glamor then I thought so that didn't last too long. lol 

 I held a few different bank teller jobs in college and also taught flute lessons, which I still do, and lead music classes for toddlers and babies in grad school, which I also still do occasionally. 

I went to college in Iowa for music therapy and worked for the state of california for three years as a rehab/music therapist. That was probably the most interesting job I ever had as the unit I was assigned to with men who had autism and behavioral issues kept me on my toes. Imagine the worst tantrum that your two year old has had. And then imagine that in a 40 year old 200 lb grown man! Yep, life was pretty interesting then but I loved it! 

In 2006 my husband and I moved to San Diego where I opened my Waterways Music Services business. I knew at that point that I would never work a J.O.B again. I absolutely LOVED working for myself. The flexibility, no ceiling on my income, being my own boss, tax benefits and everything that came with it. My office was my car and it was really fun. 

In 2008 we moved to Indiana and I moved Waterways with me. But I was also 6 months pregnant with our oldest child and knew I would be starting another career very soon - MOM.  the best and at times hardest "job" I have ever had. I knew that I wanted to stay home with my kids so I slowly built Waterways again around our family schedule. 

In 2010 I added more health and wellness options to Waterways through the natural nutrition products that Shaklee makes. These are products that I grew up with and we were using and loving in our home and gaining great health benefits from, so it was an easy transition and very enjoyable and an easy merger  with music therapy as they both work in wellness and helping people.

Today I am doing a lot more with the natural nutrition part of my business and really loving it. It doesn't take me out of the home so I have complete flexibility with my schedule and that has been so great with my young family. I was recently promoted in my Shaklee business so the extra income has also been nice and I am thankful for all of that!!

So today I am thankful for my work and the flexibility it gives me with my family.

What are you thankful for today?

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day! And don't forget to take a look at our great FLASH SALE which ends Tomorrow!!!

My Promotion!!!

Hello Friends! I am back to blogging! I am super excited because my new computer arrived today and although I am posting from my old one, I will soon be up and running on something so much more reliable so I know that I will not lose an entire post in the middle of working on it. So frustrating when that happens!

I also want to say THANK YOU to all of my prayer warriors and supporters out there. All of the kind words, thoughts, personal stories of loss that you shared, emails, calls and cards were so appreciated. We are doing better now. Still sad but trusting in God's plan for our family.

On a happier note -

Today I am excited to share that....

I Was Promoted to 

SHAKLEE FastTrack Director!!!

Many of you know that I grew up with Shaklee. My parents found Shaklee in 1975, before I was born, after my mom had some health issues and her doctor told her she would need a hysterectomy. My mom started taking Shaklee supplements and turned her health around, which is pretty lucky for me otherwise I wouldn't be here today to write this! :) And Shaklee helped me turn my own health around in August of 2010 when my youngest son was born premature and was very sick. The nutritional products helped me to get through that stressful time and also helped me to get to a healthy weight again and maintain it!

You can read more about my Shaklee story that I wrote last year HERE. 

When I first started as a Shaklee distributor in June of 2010, I treated it as a hobby and really wasn't looking to do more then casually share products I love with other mom friends while I stayed home with my son. My first check after the first month was $6! I was pretty happy with that considering I didn't feel like I did much to earn that. I earned a bonus check every month since and every month it started to grow. 

A year ago I got more focused on sharing Shaklee because I saw how good Shaklee is and how it really can help people gain better health and also wealth! My parents, who are my upline in Shaklee, also got serious about their business in their retirement and were promoted to Director a year ago. And this month they were promoted to Shaklee Senior Director!!! They took an awesome all expense paid trip last May to the company headquarters in Northern California for the New Directors Conference. You can read about that HERE.  And You can read about their first promotion and what that entails HERE.

Last year my business started to grow more as I became more focused. And recently I was promoted to Director!!! 

I went from a $6 check when I first started to my most recent bonus check of over $900!!! 

And am in qualification to earn 2 Free Tickets to Shaklee's next Global Conference in Long Beach, CA in August, which is around a $500 value!

AND...
I am a new Power Up Director so I just earned my first $100 additional BONUS for that!! woo - hoo!! Just got that email so wanted to add that. I will get another $100 bonus for each additional month I maintain my position for the next 4 consecutive months! Love it! :)
