Mary Anne's Story:
Corporate World I worked in the corporate world for over 16 years. I was a conscientious employee, working long hours and making the employer wealthy. I experienced my fair share of downsizing and corporate buyouts. Job security seemed to be a bygone era and it didn't matter how well one performed.
Children Children came along during this time frame and it tore at me how to keep climbing the corporate ladder and balancing childrearing. I so wanted to be a great mother! Attempting to be both a career woman and a mother is very difficult - something usually suffers in the process.
Oh No! I felt my life was falling apart. I was in pure survival mode. Life was not fun - it was a drudgery. My relationship with my husband was suffering, my kids were being raised by someone else, my house was a mess. My health was going downhill and I was unhappy. I didn't have the time to provide the top quality work I prided myself in, and I was too worn out to give my little ones what they deserved in what little time I had with them.
Change Time for change! I decided to leave my career, just like that, and take time off to raise my children. How we were going to manage financially was a leap of faith. (Sometimes faith is all it takes because when you're determined, you make things happen!) So, all was good for a few years, then it became necessary to seek employment.
Re-entering the Workforce Much to my surprise, my accomplishments and skills seemed to have no value to any desirable employer out there. I kept coming up with the same thing... The job market was saturated with highly qualified candidates and my little "sabbatical" seemed to have set me way back.
Rescued! One timely day, my husband came across this business opportunity on the internet. It made a lot of sense to us. A product line that the masses can truly benefit from, and a compensation plan one only dreams of! Other benefits include working when and where I want, no one to answer to, no commute, no long hours, I decide how to work my business and I don't have to miss out on anything regarding my children! In addition, the opportunity to create real wealth became tangible for us for the very first time ever! This was what I had been looking for and never knew existed! Best part - it's there for anyone who wants to take advantage of it! We are truly relieved and living a lifestyle like never before! |
