Size Doesn't Matter

I feel like I am going to be walking on eggshells here.

I am treading into deep water, and I don't really want to drown.

Please know from the get-go that I am not talking about BEAUTY, but rather about HEALTH.

Please hear my heart and believe me when I say, "The number on a scale is just a number."

Know another number people tend to get fixated on?  Your jean/dress size.  I don't really care about that either.  So keep that in mind too!

Know what I DO care about, deeply?  HEALTH.
Know what really gets me going? HEALTH.
Know what makes me tick?  Know what I'm super passionate about?  HEALTH.

My health.  I want to be around as long as possible and do as much as I can with the time I am given here on earth.  I want to go and do and make some wonderful memories with those I love.  And I need to be healthy to do that.

My husband's health.  I want to go and do those things with my husband.  I want him to be here with me, making those wonderful memories with me (they won't be quite as wonderful without him by my side).  And for that to happen HE needs to be healthy too.

My kiddos' health.  I want my girls (I have 3 of them) to be healthy too.  Many of the memories my husband and I will be making together will include them as well.  I want us to be a HEALTHY FAMILY, living life to the fullest all together.  I want to watch my girls grow up and have healthy families of their own.  And so I must teach and model health to them now, even at the ages of 3 months, 2 years, and 4 years.

Okay, so I think that should help prevent any confusion with what I am about to say.

I just watched a segment on the Today Show with their special series "Love Your Selfie."  They had women of all ages and shapes and sizes do a "Catwalk of Confidence."  The women were beautiful in their dresses.  They were courageous and fearless.  I know I would be a little scared and self-conscious if I were on live TV for everyone to see.  I would be thinking about what I looked like and would want to make sure I "looked good."  So I applaud these women for being brave, braver than me.

I am sure I could sit down with each of the women and get to know them, hear their life stories.  I am positive they each have special gifts and abilities and talents.  I am certain they use those traits and interests and passions to make a difference in the lives of those around them.  I am not questioning their character at all.  Again, keep that in mind.

I do, however, have a problem with the fact that some of these women might have HEALTH issues.  While I am all for loving yourself and feeling confident and good about who you are, I cannot gloss over the reality that being "plus size" tends to bring with it HEALTH concerns like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a greater risk of heart disease, and a plethora of other HEALTH issues.  Before you pick up rocks to stone me, the same can be said of women who are too thin.  Sadly, the modeling industry puts waaaaaaaaaaaay to much pressure on women to look a certain way, and unfortunately what magazines and TV and such consider beautiful is definitely not HEALTHY, not at all.  Like I said at the very beginning, the number on the scale and the number on the tag in your jeans or dress is just that -- a number.  I don't care about the number. I care about HEALTH.

So, my question is this -- where is the balance between loving yourself and the way you look (no matter your size) and making sure you are also taking care of yourself and doing all that you can to be HEALTHY?!

I am in a health business not to help people look sexy or get into a smaller jean size or anything along those lines.  Oh no!!!  I am in the health business to help people get and stay HEALTHY.  When I wrap someone, I am not telling that person they need to look a certain way to be beautiful.  I am not communicating to them that they need to change they way they look to feel good about themselves.  What, then, am I saying?  That you deserve to have a body that functions to its full potential, that by taking care of your body you are going to feel better and be able to go and do more.

And that right there is why I don't stop at the wrap.  Yes, it's a great place to start.  It's a great tool to help you feel good (inside and out).  It's a nice treat -- kind of like a spa experience, but way cheaper.  BUT, you know what?  I love our supplements even more than I love the wrap.  Why?  Because our supplements help you develop a HEALTHY LIFESTYLE and MAINTAIN GOOD OVERALL HEALTH.  Hence, I talk about the greens...all.the.time!  I take the vitamins myself.  I give my girls the greens and greens chew every.single.day.  I have my husband take the supplements with me.  I use the protein powder in a smoothie for lunch almost every day of the week.  I'm not just "selling" the products. I am using them myself, every day.  I am a product of the product. (I haven't even mentioned the cleanser and toner and defining gel that I use as well -- after all, your skin is your biggest organ and you need to take care of it too)  As I said before, I am doing all that I can to teach and model GOOD HEALTH to my 3 young girls.  We don't talk about the number on the scale or the number on their jeans tag.  But you better believe we talk about HEALTH!

I thought I was done, but just now I hear about an upcoming story about a "plus-sized" princess.  I cringe.  I don't in any way want my girls to think it's okay to be "overweight," whatever that means.  Why do we even have to use terms like "plus size?"  Why can't we talk about HEALTH?!!!  Again, I want girls (and boys) to feel good about themselves and the way they look.  BUT, I don't want them getting the wrong idea about HEALTH.  No, you don't have to wear a size 6 (as I learned today anything over that is concerned plus size, which is crazy!).  No, you don't have to weigh a certain amount.  Once more, the number on the scale is just a number, BUT doesn't it play a small role in the bigger issue of HEALTH?

Brings me right back to the question I posed before -- where is the balance between loving yourself and the way you look (no matter your size) and making sure you are also taking care of yourself and doing all that you can to be HEALTHY?!

I need YOUR help.  Please help me understand.  Please help me have a balanced view, a full perspective.  Please help me learn.  Please help me grow.  Please help....

I look forward to hearing/reading your thoughts and comments, so thanks in advance....

Going for the Gold

The 2014 Olympics are over.  (Note: the paraOlympics start in March, and I'm looking forward to watching those almost more because these athletes have every excuse to give up on life, but they do the exact opposite!)

I was telling my husband last night at supper how I love the spirit of the Olympics.  We dare to dream big again.  We are inspired and moved and motivated and challenged.  We hear stories of triumph and victory.  We rejoice with the medal winners as their years of hard work and sweat and time and tears have paid off.  BUT, we also cry with those who come up a little short. They too put in hours and hours and hours training, but they aren't going home with any hardware to show for their efforts.  Was all that time and work and sweat pointless then?  NO!  Not at all...

In fact, I learned something quite profound from someone who went home empty handed.

You might know of him.

Shaun White has been the reigning champion of the half pipe for 8 years, winning gold in Torino AND Vancouver.  He was expected to come out on top again this year.  But he didn't.  He didn't even come in second.  Or third.  He finished just off the medal stand in 4th place.  Sometimes I think that just might be the hardest place to be.  So close, and yet so very far away from reaching your goals, from seeing your wildest dreams come true.

What happened with Shaun White really hit me.  I wonder if his competitors went into the Sochi Olympics thinking they really truly had a chance of winning gold.  I know I personally assumed Shaun White would defend his title and come away with his third gold medal.  I mean, he's Shaun White.  He's basically written the book for tricks done in the half pipe competitions around the world.  He can't be beaten.

Oh, but he was.

Imagine how things would have been different if Shaun White's competitors would have thought like I did.

We can't beat him.  He's Shaun White.  He's the best and always will be.  No way I can be better than him.  Why even try.  Why bother.  I'm just going to go home.  In fact, I'm not even going to go to the Olympics in the first place.  I don't want to come up short. I don't want to be disappointed.  I'll never win.  I want to and it's my dream, but no way it can happen if Shaun White is there.  Let's just give him the gold medal and save ourselves the time.

Honestly, I don't even know who did win.  Or who got 2nd or 3rd.  I just know Shaun White got 4th.

I also know that the medal winners are pretty excited they didn't just give up and go home.  I am confident they are glad they kept working hard and trained and put in hours and hours on the snow to learn new tricks and improve their skills.  I am sure they looking at their medals with pride, may even disbelief.  I am positive they are glad they dreamed big and set their goals high.

So, what about YOU?

Do you have dreams?  Have you set some goals?

But then you think...I'll never really be able to do that.  
Do you compare yourself to someone else who is "on top?"  Do you feel like you'll never be able to be where they are, that you'll never be able to do what they do?

STOP!!!

You CAN do it.

Louri Podladtchikov did.  He beat Shaun White.  (I googled it just now)

If he can win, so can you.

I don't know what your goals or dreams may be.  BUT, I do know you can accomplish them.  You can.

Yes, you might have to work hard and put in time and energy.  You might sweat or cry.  BUT, when you reach your goal and when you see your dream become a reality, it's all worth it.

Just ask Louri.
Or any Olympic medal winner -- gold, silver, or bronze.

Even if you're not setting out to win the Olympics, your goals and dreams are worthy.  Look deep into your heart and see what passions and desires God has placed there.  Ask yourself what He might want to do with your life.  How might He want to use you?  Don't compare yourself to others.  Don't make excuses. Don't think you can't do it, whatever IT is.

YOU CAN!

And so can I!

So, let's do it together!!!  Team work always makes things better, and easier!  Why don't we come together and support each other?  I would love to encourage you and keep each other accountable.

Best part, we don't have to wait until 2018 to win gold (or 2016 if you're going for the summer Olympics in Rio).  We can start working on reaching our goals TODAY.  We can start making our dreams a reality TODAY.

Seriously, let's do this!!!  I know WE CAN!!!

You Can Do That Someday

"Mommy, did you see that?!"  my 4-year old exclaimed with great delight as she watched one of the women figure skaters perform at the Sochi Olympics.

Seeing as how I was dealing with one of the other 5 children in the house today, I missed the spectacular feat and asked, "Did she do a jump?"

"No, she did this hop and then a spin and then kept skating.  It was amazing!" she explained, all the while showing me to the best of her ability how the skater had  performed.

Even now as I'm typing, she's mesmorized with the next skater on the ice.

With each shout of glee, I smile and tell my daughter, "You could do that someday if you want."  And I mean it.  Who's to stop her?  If she wants to work hard and train and focus her efforts on something, I am going to support her. We may have to make sacrifices, but it's worth it.  You can't tell an Olympic athlete they wasted their life away.  Even if they walk away without a medal, they are not losers.  You don't have to mount the podium to be a winner.  Just ask Shaun White...

But that's not my point.  My point is that I really do mean what I say when I tell my daughter, "You can do that someday if you want."

Right now she's excited about ice skating.  Come 2016, she may be more interested in gymnastics or track or swimming.

Whatever her goals and dreams may be, as a mother I am going to support her and encourage her and provide her with every opportunity possible to help her reach her goals and fulfill her dreams.

I'm not going to sit my 4-year old down and look her in the eye and inform her, "Honey, not very many people get to go to the Olympics.  It's really hard to do and takes a lot of work.  That's not a very realistic dream you have.  Let's not set our sights so high.  How about we just worry about doing well in kindergarten and playing nicely with your friends."

No mother would ever do that!

So why do we stop believing what we tell our children?
When do we decide that we can't dream big?
When do we start trying to be more realistic?

Yes, we have to grow up and be responsible and pay bills and all that good adult stuff.
BUT, what if we still had that child-like faith, that child-like innocence that believed deep down, "You can do that someday if you want?"

How would that perspective on life change the way we live?

I bet we would start dreaming big again.
I bet we would set higher goals.
I bet we would have a new zeal and passion for life.
I bet we would accomplish a whole lot more.
I bet we would make the world a better place.

So why not?
Let's do it!!!

Let's wake up and tell ourselves, "You can do that someday if you want."

And maybe, just maybe, that someday is TODAY.
Don't just dream about it, LIVE it.

If you have a goal, let's reach it.
If you have a dream, let's make it a reality.

Yes, it will take hard work and dedication and time and energy.
BUT, it will be so worth it.

We may not win a medal in the Olympics, but I bet we'll feel pretty good about what we've done.  And rightly so.

As you watch the final days of the Olympics, why not ask yourself, "What would I try if I knew I wouldn't fail?"  "What could I accomplish if I just put my mind to it?"  "What is the biggest dream I can think of?"

And then tell yourself, "I can do that."
Because you can.
I believe in  you.\
And so does the God who made you.

And with Him, nothing is impossible.

Ephesians 3:20 assures us, "God is able to do infinitely MORE than all we could ever dare to hope or ask or imagine."  And for some reason I don't fully understand, He delights in us and working through us to make that supernatural power known.

He's like our Dad and if you listen, you will hear Him telling you in all seriousness and with the deepest love possible, "You can do that someday if you want."

Believe Him.
And then let Him do His work in your life.

Are YOU the One?

Today I posted on my facebook page, "Life is about relationships."  I went on to say how "relationships are life-giving," or at least they should be.

In the past year, I have developed some relationships that have enriched my life in ways I never would have expected.  I have met people I never would have chosen as friends or even had the opportunity to make that decision really, if not for It Works.  But now, a little over a year with the company, I am blessed with so many new friends.  Friends who are helping me become the woman I was created and designed to be.

I can't help but want to make more friends, to meet more people, to build new relationships.  All those relationships come with potential. Potential to change me.  Potential to change others' lives.  Potential to change the world!

And so I'm looking for 3 new people to train and mentor in this business of relationships.

These individuals might be moms who want to stay home with their babies.
They might be personal trainers who want to help their clients get maximum results.
They might be stylists who are gifted at helping people look their absolute best.
They might be bankers or accountants or nurses or office assistants or college students or photographers or anything else you can imagine.
They can be anyone.
Anyone who wants to grow and learn and help others.
Anyone who wants to make a difference in the lives of those around them.
Anyone who is ready for a change (big or small).
Anyone who is ready to live life to the fullest.

Is that YOU?

I'm ready to help these individuals start their business and run it successfully from the very beginning.

I'm ready to train these individuals so they understand our products and how they can help people of all ages and backgrounds look younger, feel younger, and live longer.

I'm ready to show these individuals how to follow the simple steps the company gives us.  I'm ready to walk with them and hold their hands until they're ready to run on their own.

I'm ready to share my heart with them.  I'm ready to begin a relationship with them that could change my life, that could change their life.

I'm ready.
Are YOU?

Are you one of the three people I am looking for?
Are YOU interested in meeting new friends and developing some of the strongest relationships ever?
Are YOU interested in helping others?
Are YOU ready to take control of your finances and live debt free?
Are YOU ready to dream big and see those dreams become a reality?
Are YOU ready to see if It Works can bless you and your family like it has mine and countless others?
Are YOU ready to BE a blessing?

If you are, then YOU (yes, you) are one of the three people I'm looking for.

Please message me or call me so we can talk and make for sure we'd be a good fit in this business of changing lives.  660.281.8266

From One Mom to Another

In the past year I have met so many amazing women (and men, too).  Most of these women are moms, like me. Most of these moms stay at home, like me.  We want to be with our kiddos.  That's what we dreamed of as little girls -- being a mommy someday.  BUT we need to contribute to our family income, and so we work.  Many moms have to work.  It's not a bad thing.  BUT when you would rather be home with your kids more than anything else, you start to hate your job.  You don't like going to work.  You dread Mondays.  You get stressed at home because you still have all the laundry and cooking and cleaning to do on top of your full-time out-of-the-house job.  You're tired.  You're cranky.  You're simply not living the dream life you imagined when you were a little girl.  But what can you do?

What if I told you that you can do something!!!  That you can stay home with your kiddos (if that's what  you want to do) AND still contribute to your family's income, in a big way.  You can have the best of both worlds!

My company's motto is FRIENDSHIPS, FUN, AND FREEDOM!!!  We enjoy what we do so much that it's not really a job.  It's not work when you love what you do, when you have so much satisfaction in helping others, in providing for your family, in creating a legacy for your children.

I love how we're all just normal, everyday people.  Nothing super special about us.  Just moms who decided that if we wanted to stay home with our kiddos, we were going to do whatever it took to make that happen. I think women are really good at that.  We get our hearts set on something and we don't stop until our goal is met or our dream is fulfilled.

I thought you might like to meet some of these amazing women and hear their stories, from one mom to another.  Maybe their journey can inspire you to start your own It Works story. Maybe if you see them doing it, you will believe that you can too!

First up is Shauntel Lyons.

  When Shauntel began It Works, she was working full time AND going to school to get her Master's in education so she could become a teacher.  She wanted to spend more time with her kiddos and thought being a teacher would let her do that.  BUT, she was overwhelmed and tired and not getting the time she wanted with her family.  One day she sat at her desk and sighed, "There has to be more to life than this."  She knew that "more" was being with her kids, being the mom she had dreamed of being but couldn't be because of her job.  She just didn't know how to make that "more" happen.  And then she was introduced to It Works and everything began to change.

Here's what Shauntel has to say about her experience:
For whatever reason, when I began my journey with It Works!, life felt different.
Endless possibilities for LIFE seemed to open up for me. I felt like I had full control of my future for once in my life. It wasn't in the hands of someone else. It was all in MY control. My way of thinking and my thought process changed. I couldn't sleep at night due to PURE EXCITEMENT of what this business could do IF I worked it right. I didn't have any extra time to do it but I sure did have the vision...and that vision made me get to work, throw excuses out the window, throw caution to the wind and MAKE the time for it. I sacrificed a lot but I did it for my family. My husband stood behind me and took on more around our house so that I could get the job done. He believed in me. More importantly, I believed in me. It was tough juggling a full time job, grad school and growing a new business. But I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I envisioned my life without a boss, without an alarm clock, without ANY LIMITS. I knew I could make that my reality. And guess what?!?! I DID IT! Yes, it was TOUGH. Oh, I cried a lot of tears. I was so tired. I was scared. But it did become my reality!!! I dreamed of a life with no limits and no boundaries and now I have it! And YOU can too. Anything you want out of life, go after it. Don't ponder it or wait for it to fall into you lap. GO FOR IT. Chase those dreams. Do it. Because I know you can. I believe in you. Believe in yourself.

Shauntel finished school, but she didn't become a teacher.  And she doesn't work 40+ hours a week at her old job either.  Nope, now she is staying home with her kiddos.  Like she always dreamed.  AND she's making over $30,000 a month doing it.  Shauntel and her husband Herman earned around $175,000 in bonuses in the past 2 years.  They have paid off debt, paid off family member's debt, and are living a life they never even imagined.  Before It Works none of that was possible, but now it's their reality.  And it can be yours too!

Maybe you're thinking Shauntel is unique or a special case.  Well, I'd like to introduce you to Liz Barton.

Liz USED to work at the school where my husband teaches 3rd grade. She WAS the Instructional Coach.  She enjoyed her job, BUT she wanted to be home with her boys more than anything else.  And so she too joined It Works.  Guess what?  This school year she's going on her son's field trips, not as a teacher, but as a MOM.  Liz has done so well with this crazy wrap business that she was able to "retire" her husband Gabe, and now they BOTH get to be home with their boys all the time!  How amazing is that?!

Here's what Liz has to say about her experience:
Six months ago I was a teacher. In a classroom. Working 40+ hours a week away from my home. Now....now I have total#freedom of my time, more time to travel, more money to pay off debt, more time with those I LOVE! It's WORTH it!!!

I could tell you about Lori Conway, another mom who started this business when her youngest (of 4 children) was just a baby. She knew that once her baby girl grew up and started kindergarten, her husband would want her to go back to work.  She didn't want to do that though.  She wanted to keep staying home.  And so she became an It Works distributor after attending a wrap party.  Almost 3 years later, she's still at home and so is her husband Quintin.  Yep, he's "retired" too.  He gave up his job in the banking industry and the six-figure income that went with it because it was costing him to go to work.  Now, Lori and Quintin get to stay home together, work together, and enjoy their kids together.  In fact, over Christmas break, they just woke up one morning and decided, "Let's go on vacation!"  So they did!  For a week!  How fun would that be?  Talk about FREEDOM of time!!!  If Lori and Quintin can do it, so can YOU!

I can't forget about Ashleigh though!!!  She used to do in-home daycare (like I do) but it was stressful for her.  AND she didn't really like living paycheck to paycheck.  They wanted to send their oldest daughter to a private school, but couldn't afford it.  She wanted that same"more" out of life that Shauntel did.  Guess what?  Ashleigh also joined It Works and was #93 in the company this past year.  Her daughter attends the private school.  They just took a family vacation to Disney World.  They're paying off debt and working towards "retiring" her husband Justin.  

I almost forgot about Brandi Estes!!!  I can't imagine doing that though.  Her story inspires me so much!!!  She was a stylist and worked up until the day her baby boy was born.  And as soon as she was out of the hospital, she was back to work because they couldn't afford for her to take any time off or to pay for anyone to watch the baby - so he went to work with her!!!  That was then.  NOW, both Brandi and her husband are full-time parents and get to be home with all of their kiddos, together!!!

And I just have to tell you about my dear friend Melissa too.  She is, after all, the reason why I finally took that leap of faith and joined It Works too.  After doing a year of her own research, Melissa and her husband Mitch went for it and become distributors.  Their dream of owing a nutrition store wasn't turning out quite like they had envisioned.  They were going into debt another $500 each month.  They were on food stamps.  Melissa was picking up every hour she could at the hospital where she worked as a RN.  Not exactly the life they wanted.  And so they borrowed the $99 to start their It Works business, and now just a year later are making over $16,000 A MONTH!!!  They're not on food stamps anymore.  They're paying off debt instead of going into it.  And Melissa, she quit her job as a RN and stays at home full time as a mommy, just like she has always dreamed of doing!

Those are just 6 of 100s of 1000s of moms I could introduce you to who are part of this crazy wrap business.  Most of these moms started out with a goal of making $500 to $1000 a month so they could either stay home with their kiddos or go get their nails done without feeling guilty.  In less than 3 years, all of these women have not only been able to stay at home but have their husbands home too (or will shortly).  How crazy is that?  Well, not very crazy I guess since it's happening to mom after mom after mom after mom that I meet through It Works.

I didn't even tell you about Stephanie Doss or Lydia Diaz or Jen Keller or Madra Jones or Kami Dempsey.

And as for me, I too am staying home.  I still have my in-home daycare (for now), but thank goodness for It Works!!!  This past year two of my daycare kiddos stopped coming, very suddenly and unexpectedly.  So there was half my income gone.  If not for It Works, we would have been back on WIC like we were 3 years ago (when I was pregnant with our 2nd little girl - we have 3 now).  Or just this past week, we had 4 snow days.  I don't charge when my daycare kiddos aren't here (as I think that is only fair not to pay for something if you're not using it).  So that's over $400 gone from our budget that we had counted on.  Granted, we will make up those days come May, and I'll get paid then.  BUT groceries and bills don't really wait until May now do they?  Once again, we are ever so thankful for It Works!  Who would have imagined that God would provide for us by means of a crazy wrap business?!  Not me!

I just celebrated my one-year anniversary with It Works.  This past year totally changed my life in so many ways!  Totally aside from earning a $10,000 bonus, I simply cannot say how amazing this business is (LOVE the heart of our leadership and  how we support wonderful organizations like Selah Freedom and Children's Cup)!  I simply cannot stress enough how YOU too can be a part of the FRIENDSHIPS, FUN, AND FREEDOM It Works has to offer!

From one mom to another, I would LOVE to have you join the team and become part of this family.  That's what we are -- FAMILY!  

I know you're busy changing diapers and wiping snotty noses and making meals and picking up toys and driving kids to and from sports practice or music lessons or dance rehearsal and helping with homework and so much more.  I know you don't think you have time for this.  BUT, you do.  You really do.

Because if you're like me (and you may not be, and that is okay), you want to be home with your kiddos.  If you're like me, you dreamed of being a mommy someday.  If you're like me, you want "more" out of life.  

So, once more, from one mom to another, I would LOVE to talk with you, to answer your questions (I had a ton of them before I finally decided to join last year), to help you see if It Works will be a good fit for you.  Give me a call.  Let's chat, from one mom to another!!!  Goodness knows, we can always use some adult interaction and talk about something besides going potty or what color the triangle is or what happened to Wyatt and the Super Readers.  

Let's just talk, one mom to another.

Don't Take My Word for It

I can tell you how much I love It Works all natural health products until I am blue in the face.  I can share with you how this crazy wrap business is changing people's lives all around the world -- be it in the area of health or finances or personal growth or anything else you can possibly imagine.  I can talk from sun up to sun down, but I'm not going to.

You see, I don't want you to just take MY word for it.
Instead, I want you to hear what other people are saying.  All kinds of people.
Husbands and wives.
Single moms.
Stay-at-home moms.
Working moms.
Attorneys.
Bankers.
Stylists.
Massage Therapists.
Personal trainers.
Nutrition store owners.
Teachers.
And even college drop outs.
You name the profession, someone with that occupation (or former occupation) is probably an It Works Distributor someone in the world (yes, we are global and open for business in 18 countries).

But again, please don't take MY word for it.

Listen to my friends Mitch and Melissa Schellinger.  Maybe you can relate to their story better than you can mine.  Click HERE to listen to a team conference call they were on recently.

If you're not small business owners on food stamps and going $500 into debt each month, maybe the Schellinger's story doesn't speak to you.  *Note: they aren't in that situation anymore, thanks to a year with It Works.  Like we say:

But, again, maybe you don't connect with the Schellingers.  Perhaps, you can relate better to one of the couples or individuals on this call.  Carla Burns -- a fitness coach.  Lori and Quintin Conway -- a stay-at-home mom of 4 and a former banker.  Jodi Hussey -- used to have an in-home daycare.  Kirsten Johnson -- a former teacher.  Click HERE to listen to that conference call.

No matter where everyone on that call started, they are all part of the Millionaire Club today.

If you're like me, maybe you need to SEE these people in person to believe they're real.  Maybe if you SEE their faces, not just hear their voices, then you will be able to make that connection. I get that.  I'm a face to face person too.  So, here you go!!!  Click on HERE to see a video Allison and Donny Chastain made to share how they went from a military life to an It Works life of friendships, fun, and freedom.

Need more convincing. Joel and Stefani Dunn have an amazing story!!!  The video isn't the greatest quality, BUT the story is real and raw and I don't know how you can't be moved by it.  Click HERE and see for yourselves what I mean.  They went from standing in line at the food bank, declaring bankruptcy to #4 sellers in the business.

Just one more.  Maybe because I connect personally the most to Kami and her husband Nathan.  They both used to be teachers and coaches.  I used to teach and coach, until my husband and I had our first little girl.  Then, I started staying home and doing an in-home daycare.  My husband still teaches 3rd grade. He used to coach gymnastics, but due to time (we now have 3 little girls), he doesn't do that anymore.  I love, love, LOVE Kami's energy and joy and enthusiasm.  It's contagious.  Her passion and zeal for life are evident in all she does.  I want to be like her when I grow up :)  Click HERE to understand what I'm talking about and why I respect Kami so much.

Well, there you have it.  You've listened to stories.  You've watched people share their hearts.  Hopefully, you connected to at least one person.  Hopefully, you can relate to at least one of these stories.

If so, I would LOVE to chat with you, answer whatever questions you may have, and then team up to work WITH you.  You have a story too, and I bet someone out there can connect with YOU. I bet someone out there can relate to YOU.  I bet YOU could change people's lives.  I bet YOU can make a difference in ways you didn't even think possible.

So, give me a call and let's talk!  Let's start your very own It Works story TODAY!!!  660.281.8266
