Succeed Together

This morning, I started my normal stay at home mom, work from home trying to make a little extra money on the side routine. I made my son breakfast and set him up with a movie so I could get in a solid hour of work with no interruptions (haha, yeah-right), I made my coffee, I sat down and started sending out my daily messages. After I sent out my end of month messages for the day, I continued down my list of daily "work goals" and started a video created by one of the top sellers in my company to hopefully work on a little personal development and feed that inspiration I need to keep my business moving forward. (Mind you, all while holding my crying 5 week old and really only hearing every other word of this video between my 3 year old and baby making typical kid noise) and then about 14 minutes into the 21 minute long vlog post something happened. I really don't know exactly what this woman said, how she said it, or why- but, her words pushed my brain and inspiration to click. This "gig" with Rodan+Fields has the potential to be so much more than "a little extra money on the side".

I started this business with the intention to help my family push past living LITERALLY paycheck to paycheck and give myself a boost in confidence by knowing that I am doing something meaningful for my family and providing myself with the opportunity to become successful. Today, I pushed way beyond that and realized what the REAL potential starting this business is for me:

As a woman, mother and wife in a lower middle class household, it has been a smarter financial decision for me to stay home with our children rather than pay for childcare. The cost of childcare is approximately what I would make, if not more. With a new baby, new bills, and new expenses the worry of not having enough is RIGHT THERE. I know I am not the only woman facing this dilemma. I know there has to be tons of moms out there like me, that really want to financially contribute to their household, but feel held back by their stay at home mom status. I know that this can be overwhelming at times, and even depressing. I also KNOW that I can help so many women like myself by introducing them to this amazing opportunity with R+F.

It's definitely not the easiest journey. It's definitely not a get rich quick kind of deal. But, it is REAL. I have the support of so many really successful women in this business and I know that if they can do it, so can I. I also know that if I can do it, so can you. BUT- without each others support we are nowhere near as likely to succeed. I genuinely want to share this opportunity with other women like myself. I want to help you, by helping myself. Look in to joining me in my business. There's no risk in trying.

If you can relate to my situation, I sincerely encourage you to ask questions. Do research on Rodan+Fields. You owe it to yourself to at least entertain the possibility of the things you could achieve if you tried.

Ease Is Not a Measure of Worth

I took a little break. In that time we welcomed our new son, Lincoln James on February 20th. He is absolutely amazing and we are so in love.

I'm not going to lie, I've been struggling quite a bit these past 5 weeks with staying on point with my mission to seek balance within my life. I haven't been so great at following my advice in working towards my own happiness, but guess what- I've kicked the funk to the side and am bound and determined to get back on track and work double time to achieve what I need in my life.

Adjusting to the SAHM lifestyle has been not so easy. I am fueled by accomplishment and its HARD to accomplish anything with a 3 year old and 5 week old in tow. Being a stay at home mom really requires you to be able to see the value in even accomplishing the smallest of tasks. I managed to unload the dishwasher- YES! I didn't loose my mind on my 3 year old when he blatantly told me NO and then proceeded to jump into that giant mud puddle after I firmly told him not to! woo hoo! I took a shower! Amazing! How DOES she do it?!

Let's face it, my life has been pretty much a month long of sleep deprivation,  boredom, stress and frustration. It doesn't have to be that way though. I mean, I really can't do much about the sleep deprivation part, but I can work on the boredom and frustration by continuously working my business, developing my patience through practicing being more mindful in my approach in dealing with the frustrations and stress I face, and focusing my energy and thoughts on becoming that positive and happy person I  know that I deserve to be.

It really all boils down to just that; allowing myself to find the positivity and happiness I deserve. Stop relying for whoever or whatever to drop what you feel you deserve in your lap and go out and grab it. Make what you want for yourself.

It's not going to be easy to achieve what I know I deserve, but nothing worth having is. Let's work on it, let's achieve it. Make it happen.
