After almost a year of persistent pursuit by a trusted family member I finally agreed to attend a Pre-Paid Legal briefing for the most part so that they would just stop calling me but also because I was sick and tired of the rat race and in the back of my mind I thought, “what if…”. As a single mom with a series of 60 hour a week careers, and an above average income, I still had too much month at the end of the money and certainly no free time to do the things I really enjoyed like spending time with my 3 daughters Elise, Justine & Erica and traveling. And I really didn’t feel that what I was doing was making any difference in the world at all. Something had to change.

As the presentation unfolded, I began to realize what an incredible opportunity had been sitting right under my nose for almost a year! The very next day, I got started very part-time. For the first time in several years, I felt that I could really dream again. Not only dream…but believe! To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also "believe." Anatole France

I’ve learned that 90% of success in this business comes from just showing up – even if at first you show up alone. It comes from showing up for every training, every weekly briefing, every regional event, every corporate event, every team conference call, and every opportunity you have to meet someone else in this business that sees the future the way you do. “Example is not the main thing in influencing others, it’s the only thing.” Albert Schweitzer

I’ve been so fortunate to meet many successful people in this business that have mentored and encouraged me to success and I am grateful to all of them. One of the most influential of these people has been Platinum 5 Executive Director Mike Melia. Mike often says that “Success is moving from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm”. That one success principle has helped me move along the roller coaster that you ride in this business toward ultimate success more that anything else I have learned.

I am so lucky to work with so many people that I truly love and appreciate. It’s only through working with others and helping them to accomplish their goals that my dreams are realized. It’s a magical process. Life has certainly changed since January 2003. I now work out of my home full time, travel often with friends and family, and dream bigger than I ever allowed myself to dream before.
