TRANSITIONING :
From Employment to Self-Employment
I was one who did what I was told and that was to make good grades in school , go to college and get a good job . I married a sailor and started working as a civilian for the U . S . Navy a little over 15 years ago . Life was good , or more like regular . I desired more and knew I could do more with my life . In 2006 I started her own sitter service for the elderly and was licensed in Duval and surrounding counties . Three years later , I found myself running a business , still working full time , and married to an active duty husband who was frequently deploying . This took a toll on my live both physically and emotionally and I decided to give the business up to continue with my federal service

Years ago we fought for equal working rights but in my opinion I believe that we have taken the movement too far . Far too many women have stretched themselves beyond reasonable expectations to take of their families , aging parents , work in ministry and community service . Our duties can be so overwhelming that we often tend to forget to take care of ourselves . We must realize that if we are not in full functionality we will no longer be able to take of our dear loved ones .
my search for self-fulfillment where I could balance a successful eer and maintain a lifestyle freedom , I discovered a Network keting opportunity that allowed me to quit my federal job of 15 and provide me an income that most people only dream of . Even important , I have been blessed to share and teach other to have
