That's just what I did in February this year when I decided to join It Works as an independent distributor. That one little decision has changed my life and blessed our family in so many different ways.
*I get to help people invest in their health and celebrate as they make changes for the better.
I have friends losing weight, quitting smoking, having more energy, eating healthier, exercising more, etc.
I LOVE it!!!
*I have made new friends and deepened friendships that I had from WAY back in high school.
*I get to be part of an amazing team where we daily support and encourage each other.
*I have a sense of purpose (outside of being a mom) and am able to do something that gives me a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. I feel like I get to use the gifts God has given me in a way I never would have imagined myself doing before this opportunity came along.
*With that, I feel like I am growing as a person, stretching myself and getting outside of my comfort zone. I am facing my fears of worrying about what people think about me, comparing myself to others, and other common struggles women face on a regular basis.
*I am able to stay at home with our girls and still contribute to our family income.
*When I started this "job," I told God I would give everything back to Him, since all the money I would be making is "extra." With my daycare job, my It Works income was an added bonus and would allow us to SAVE money and pay extra on our mortgage. All the bonus money I have made, we have been able to give away -- sending care packages to my friends overseas, sponsoring kids for camp, helping couples as they raise money for adoptions or starting a ministry, or supporting people in a run/walk for a charity, and more. I LOVE how God has provided us with various ways to bless others!
*My daycare income unexpectedly got cut in half and so now my It Works money is more essential. Last month we used it to pay our bills and even had some extra to pay on the mortgage. All my bonus money will still go towards blessing others in one way or another, and I am so thankful God knew this situation was going to happen with daycare, that we would need the additional money, and provided a way to make that happen long before we even knew it was going to be an issue!
I have no idea what lays ahead with this It Works journey. I am excited to find out though!
Tonight, I am going to listen to a company call as Madra Jones and Kami Demspey share their stories. These ladies just became the first Black Diamonds in the business, earning this promotion by making at least $100,000 a MONTH for 6 consecutive months. On top of their commission money, they each received a $100,000 BONUS!!!
I have personally met Madra, a mom of 3. She came down to the Kansas City area to our team's monthly training. She used to own her own salon, but now she does It Works full time.
Kami is also a mom of three, and a former teacher. I feel like I can relate to her with that!! Not to mention she's a Christian and loves Jesus like I do. Both her and her husband "retired" from their regular jobs and do It Works full time as well.
I am excited to hear their stories tonight and be inspired. If you want to listen in on the call or listen to the recording later, here is the info you need:

Everyone Welcome
As I said, God is still writing my story (as He is with Madra and Kami and EACH ONE of us). I don't know what all is in that story, but I am looking forward to finding out. I certainly didn't see losing 2 daycare kiddos in one day, right before school started, as part of my story - but God did!!!
I have no idea what I will do when I reach a level in the company where I am making the kind of money Madra and Kami are. All I know is that in no way can I ever spend that much money on myself. So, God will just have to show us how to give it away, how to bless others in the same way He has blessed us. The idea of paying for someone else's family to go to Disney World on vacation or buying a family a new car or paying their mortgage for a year or sending someone to college or paying off a family's medical bills or buying groceries for people each week or other things like that....those ideas excite me.
I dare to dream...
And I ask you to come dream with me.
Opportunity is knocking. What are you going to do?
