Hey there!

So who the heck am I…

I’m a 29 year old girl from Westchester County, NY

(it is about 30 min north of the city)

And no, that’s not upstate even though people from the city seem to think so..lol

If you can’t tell by now,

I’m kinda obsessed (I know, I admit it)

with my “furry” child, Princess.

AKA- My “silent” Business Partner

And am blessed to be able to work form home and help care for my grandma who’s

95 and still rocking !!!

I’ve had a home business for almost 6 years now.

In fact, I’ve never had a “real” job.

Well, okay, from 16 to 22 I worked at our local town pool

and at 22 I did coach JV Volleyball at the local High School.

So technically, for about 3 months I had a regular job coaching volleyball.

And I lead an undefeated season- btw ☺

But, all I really did was play volleyball with the girls and have fun

At 23, just fresh from graduating from Syracuse University with a BS in Psychology,

I stumbled upon the home business industry and never looked back.

Within my first 6 months, I had built up a

½ -million dollar a year business

(which was pretty good if I don’t say so myself)

But after awhile I began to realize that cold calling leads

Was not the way to build solid, long term success

So I set off searching for “the answer”.

In July of 2007 I was introduced to what is now

Social Media Marketing..

But back then it wasn’t even called that yet,

It was just a handful of people on Youtube and Myspace

Talk about stumbling upon the next big marketing trend

It was quite a fortunate opportunity..

and off I went!

And here I am.

The past 3 years have been amazing and quite an awesome journey!

Not only have I built a great business that allows me to work from home

And hang out with my Grandma

And of course my loyal “silent” business partner, Princess.

Who IS right by my side as I sit and write this..

But I’ve also very fortunate to

Have found with an amazing mentor,

Who has grown to be a great friend.

It’s been a great ride and will continue to be so,

I believe ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE,

I’m living proof it!

I was a 23 year old kid when I started this journey,

And there were tons of ups AND downs..

I just refused to give up,

And I’m here because I never did ☺

Now it’s my mission to pass it on!

To empower others to take control of their lives,

Build successful businesses,

And basically make the world a better place-

Cliché I know, but true! ☺
