I've really been thinking about getting into some kind of work at home business. My mom did (and still does) Mary Kay for years, and she's done pretty well with it. I personally wouldn't do Mary Kay, but only because I'm not sure I'd be good at making up OTHER people's faces lol.
So I've been looking into the different options. Avon is another Mary Kay, Party Lite and Scentsy seem kind of out of my interest; I don't want to sell something I don't care for (although I did that at a few properties I worked at in my PMmgt days lol).
I would really like to help Mike with a little bit of income (I feel pretty worthless not working, but I wouldn't want to leave Andrew with babysitters either).
I think being an Independent Consultant would be fun!
I am still doing side work in the property management industry..
But I'd like to do something else, something that doesn't include AS MUCH driving as my property management job requires.
Which brings me to my 2 top choices.
1) Arbonne International- an old friend of mine was a consultant, and introduced me to it. She did very well and I think at one point she was about to win the Mercedes they give at a certain level. I've purchased products from her that I loved, and think it'd be worth it
2) Lia Sophia Jewelry- I just heard about this today and I loved the website. I was already trying to pick out what jewelry I'd like to buy! I can see this doing well also because ...women love jewelry!
My only concern is the clientele based..I'd probably have to do a lot of networking to build up my clientele, which should be too difficult for me..I'm a natural networker lol. I've learned from others experiences that you can't really depend on friends/family to be big clients. So that would not be my main goal.
Both seem very interesting, but I'm not sure which one I would choose. I'm looking for opinions on which other people would choose. Who knows, maybe I'll do both haha.
Great thought! Do you like to make things? Like, are you into natural skin care products such as shea butter body butters, making your own lip-gloss or lip balm? You can make your own products and sell them. Guess it kind of depends on what your skills are and what you enjoy doing.

Hey beautiful, I am so glad to see that you are working out again. I have no doubt that you will look and feel better in no time! It is so important as wives and mothers that we take time for ourselves. I once heard a minister say that ifyou think of it like a cup the cup has to first be full before it can spill over onto those around you. I pray that your cup is always full and running over!
ReplyDeleteI am just returning from the lia sophia national conference in Milwaukee where it was announced that they are rebranding including a new face on the fall/winter catalog which just happens to be Nikki Taylor. It's an amazing catalog with fashion forward pieces and an edgier look. I immediately remembered this post and God put it on my heart to touch base with you. (The fall catalog isn't available online until July 11 but I would be happy to mail one to you if you like.)
I hope you have a safe and happy 4th of July. Much love, Melinda Pitman (melindapitman@yahoo.com)
