How a (College Dropout) Former Construction Administration Employee Had the Courage to say ‘No’ To the Status ‘Quo’ to come home and become a [Happily] Present Stay at Home Wife & Mom of 3 Boys, (+ 1 Golden Doodle Dog) & Crack-the-Code To
Online 'Sleep Money' Success
My Story
All I ever Wanted to be when I grew up, was a Present, Happily Married, Stay At Home Mom…
It was the Year 2000 when I said goodbye to my 9-5 job in the Construction Industry, to come home to raise my first born son. From the time I was 6 Years old, my one Dream and Goal in Life was to become a ‘Present’ Stay at home Mother, but I knew that in order to do that, I would need to find a way to earn a supplemental income from home.
Working from Home, but Still Trading Time For Money.
After planning my escape from the 9-5 for the 9 Months I was pregnant, I was blessed enough to find an ‘at-home’ job answering phones for 2 big corporations.
I worked this at-home job for a while, but I was still trading time for money.
My husband and I were living under the same roof, but we were like 2 ships passing through the night. I would hand him the baby so I could lock myself inside of a room to work for 5 hours and then when my shift was over, he would hand me back the baby so he could go work. Not quite the vision I had of being a Present Stay at home, happily married mother.
Once my son was round 8 months old, he started getting more fussy and needing more of my attention and so I tried network marketing, as I heard it was a great way to make a part-time income as it was supposed to be a ‘Home Based Business’ but the way the company was training me, required to do alot of things that #1, kept me OUTSIDE the home,like home parties and outside of the home meetings, and the higher you got into the compensation plan, the more responsibility was required and Traveling away from the family to go to corporate events, add to that, doing things I hated, as an introvert, like talking to total strangers and hard selling my friends and family…
It just wasn’t the right fit for me.
How Do I Make Money, Even When I'm Not on My Computer?
Then I tried eBay for a while, but their fees kept going up and my business was at their Mercy, as they could close my business down on a whim.
But before I quit eBay, I would successfully take my store from zero to Silver Powerseller in only 3 months… and I was able to do this because I set myself apart from everyone else in my Niche who was selling the same products I was…
By Creating a BRAND For My store.
Other Sellers got wind of my success and they began private messaging me to see if I would Brand their Stores… filling that need would result in the birth of my first Marketing & Design Company.
After a few months of designing stores on eBay, I realized one thing… I had Created myself a job! I was still stuck trading time for money and if I wasn’t working I wasn’t getting paid.
How Can I earn An Income from Home even when I’m NOT On My Computer?
I Was a Star Diamond with a Cool Medal Around My Neck...
But I was Still Unhappy and Broke!
I didn't have systems or the proper business models in place and it felt like I always had to keep starting and stopping because I didn't seem to have all the puzzle pieces fitting together.
And No matter what I did, I always would go back to teaching people how to brand, systemetize and build their business online.
Since Network Marketing Success is based on Team Duplication, I always found myself recruiting new people but then having to go back and teach them how to Brand Themselves and teach them how to start creating content and having the branding/marketing systems in place to start generating leads… (i.e. websites, funnels, videos, etc)
And so my efforts always brought me BACK to what I knew best and Loved – Which was helping people get their business off the ground, online!
And…because this is my story and it’s important to be completely HONEST and Authentic with you…
I have to Share Something Personal…
It Still Felt like something was Missing...
Even Though I had Seemingly Achieved ‘Success’ for some reason, My Heart still Felt Empty, I would still battle depression and I still felt like my home life was out of balance…
I tried meditation and visualizing like a lot of online gurus teach, but nothing was working to fill in that hole in my heart that still made me feel empty inside, and it was affecting my business. I couldn’t be effective knowing that I had all this turmoil in my heart. Yes I was home, but WE as a family, were not HAPPY. I don’t know if you can relate. Sure, things looked beautiful on the outside, my highlight reel seemed very attractive, but behind closed doors we were not fulfilled and it was affecting our family dynamic ….
And that is when the Biggest Change of My Life Happened and my role as mother and wife finally became clear… and my priorities changed…
GOD. FAMILY. WORK. MINISTRY
The Biggest Change in My Business and Life, was when My Family Came to Christ… that’s when My Priorities become Clear.
I went from a stay at home, married mother… to a PRESENT stay at home, Happily Married Mother. (Big Difference)
Not Sharing this part of my story, would mean leaving a huge chunk out of how I finally discovered my Purpose and finally realized my dream of being a PRESENT, Happily Married, stay at home mother.
Before I found Jesus, I was just a stay at home married mother and that’s why sharing this part is crucial because my mindset and heart changed everything.
It changed how I view success, how I view business, how I view others, how I view my role as a mother and how I view my role as a wife..
See, even though I was trying to be a present stay at home mom, and I was winning awards and contests and walking on stages…all the things the world tells us makes us happy…
Home Life was severely getting out of balance because all I could think of was 'how to crush' my business... 😐
I was putting way more time into building a business than I was in being present for my family and something had to change.
Yes I was home, but if I’m being 100% Honest, many times I would be on my Cell Phone updating social media and not being present and I have one too many family photos of me being on my cellphone and my kids smiling into the camera.
It’s kind of embarrassing…
I felt lost, unfulfilled and even though on the outside everything looked pretty good, inside I was unhappy.
Even though I was married for 19 years, we were not happy.
And then my life changed when I finally accepted my oldest son’s (the baby that I left the workforce to raise!) invitation to go to his church and after months of sitting on the sidelines, I gave my life to Jesus and on December 2015, I became a born-again Christian, and had I known then, what I know now, I would have done it much sooner.
And by a Miracle of God, My husband, had a spiritual encounter that made him surrender his old ways, and he also came to Jesus, in May of 2017.
Now we are Happy & Fulfilled!
Thank You Jesus! 🙏
The Reason I share this part of my story with you is because Personal Branding and Your Business is a reflection of WHO YOU ARE. And Who I am Now, is different the Who I was when I first started my Journey.
God Wants you to be happy and close to him at all times.
And he designed the Family Unit to Be together.
I learned that in order to keep a Balance and to truly be Happy and Fulfilled.. I had to keep my LIFE in the following Order
God, Family, Business and Ministry <<=== in that order.
And although I am still far from perfect and let’s be honest, I will NEVER Be.. I can truthfully say that for the first time in my life I finally feel Joy and I am so grateful for my ability to be able to build a business from home because I can be the Happily Married, Present Mother that I always wanted to be and I can be the Wife to my husband that God wants me to be.
After my Big Life Change, I was now faced with how to approach my business… How do I SERVE Others and use my gifts and talents to do so…
And then after praying, I heard the song RISE by Danny Gokey and it embodied everything that I was Feeling.
After Winning all my awards, and achieving success I took an almost 2 year hiatus. I literally hid into the shadows and just spent my time doing freelance copywriting jobs and although I was making really great money, I was absolutely MISERABLE with the work I was doing.
I was working on projects JUST for the money, and although my spiritual life had changed, I was still struggling to RISE out of the shadows and back into using my Gifts and Talents to help more people work from home.
I Began to Pray to God for Clarity & Then we Were Hit by a Hurricane...
As fate would have it, we were unexpectedly hit by Hurricane Irma, which put us in a vulnerable financial position, which forced me to look for alternatives for Digital Marketing Tools AND creating a growing passive income online.
I had been struggling as a web designer after stepping away from both internet and network marketing but I was stuck on that month to month client grind. Then out of the blue, we were hit by Hurricane Irma in 2017 and it shook me by the shoulders and made me realize that I had to push through and break through and make this passive online income dream come true.
Fast forward a few months and I stumbled upon an All in One Digital Marketing Platform that claimed to be the one stop solution for Digital Marketing tools AND it had a pretty Sick (Generous!) Affiliate Program.
I took the trial to test the tools and by Day 3, I was sold, hooked line and sinker.
I started to take MASSIVE ACTION and worked harder than I have in my whole internet marketing career.
Within my First Year I was the #12 Affiliate and My 2nd Year I closed in at #5.
Once I signed up, I KNEW that this was the perfect fit for me.
I signed up my first 4 Partners within my first 48 hours from my warm market (people who knew me) and then turned to Youtube, where I already had a video marketing skillset and started making videos like my life depended on it (which it did!)
Within my first 16 Months I sponsored over 370 New Partners and As of the date of this writing, I've earned Multiple Six Figures and signed up Over 690+ Paying Clients 100% Online Using the Power of Videos, Funnels and Email Marketing, without chasing, convincing or picking up the phone...
AND NOW AT 50 YEARS OLD, I'M BEGINNING A NEW CHAPTER OF MY JOURNEY
That's When the Idea of
Rise of the CEO was Born...
I had more to teach, more to share, and I wanted to do it my way.
The Way God Planted in my heart.
After working with hundreds of people, and sharing my 5 Day Challenge Training with over 2,000 students, I realized that although I did a great job of Branding myself 'inside' of the company I've been affiliated with, it was time to RISE into Being the CEO of my Own Brand, where I called the Shots, where I did business my way, and where I would be Free to Create, Share and endorse anything I thought would help the people that I want to help, and that is YOU!
So as My Journey continues to unfold, my hope is that I can impact the Driven, persistent, awkward, weirdos just like me, who know that there is more to life than Being Born, Paying Bills and Dying...
I'm an Uncommon Mentor
You don't have to Be Perfect To Achieve Whatever your Version of Success is. Many will look up to Tony Robbins, or other Rich Famous Guys & that's cool...
Yet, the most profound lessons I've learned are the ones
I learned from these two examples below..
DANIEL-SAN. AWKWARD KID FROM JERSEY
The Karate Kid
The Karate Kid was the Outsider, the scrappy kid that couldn't understand why Mr. Miyagi would instruct him to Wax on & Wax off, Paint the Fence and Sand da Floor, when
all he wanted was to 'Do Karate'.
Miyagi's Training was Intense, Frustrating,
Painful, Messy, and even Mysterious
But in the end, Daniel Used his UNIQUE SECRET WEAPON, The 'CRANE KICK' to Rise to the Top As Victor of the All Valley Karate Championships.
The Truth is, this online business thing isn't always clear, it's rarely easy, but at the end, it's worth it.
You gotta be willing to Learn WHILE you're doing and Trust the Process.
You're oftentimes gonna have to Wax on and Wax off, and you won't see the results right away...
But like a Champion,
You Will Rise to the Occasion
& You will Surprise them All.
YOU BELONG HERE!
The Island of the Misfit Toys
When I think back to the times I was a kid, I remember feeling that I never fit in. I was the introverted loner girl who watched alot of TV cuz after mom enrolled in Beauty School and Dad went to work as a Mechanic, along with my sibilings,
I was a latch-key kid (google it)...
...and I remember looking forward to the Christmas Special Featuring Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the Island of the Misfit Toys... All of them were Unique in their way, slightly weird and awkward but together they were amazing.
I'm a kid of the 80's, possibly the best generation ever (yea I'm biased)
And If the Island of the Misfit Toys was looking for New Members, I would totally fit in =).
If You can Relate, you're probably my people.
I am so thankful for the hardwork and dedication Barbie gives to set us up for success. She understands the challenges for those of us who are brand new to online marketing and has gone over and beyond my expectations when it comes to serving, which is true leadership!

You have a Ridiculous Work Ethic, you're serious about getting results, and you won't settle for less than achieving your dreams, because your family and loved ones are counting on you to make it happen...
You know that God Created you for more, that you have unique Gifts, strengths and Talents and you wanna show up so you can shine your light in the marketplace - Matt 5:14.
Even if you've 'failed' in the past, that thing inside you keeps telling you to continue moving forward because you cannot envision giving up on your purpose.
