My Story - Home Based Candle Business and Network Marketing 

A life of freedom

My journey with this candle business has been amazing.

My husband and I have three wonderful children. Colton is 11, Dawon is five and little Ellie is three. They are the inspiration behind owning my home based candle business.

My story is like many. Maybe even yours. I wanted freedom. Time freedom, financial freedom, the freedom to to provide the kind of life my family deserved.

As a mom, a wife and a FT Corporte America employee, I wanted my time to be my own.

I looked at Network Marketing and saw the potential immediately. But I was skeptical. I looked at several opportunties and I kept coming back to MLM and Network Marketing.

So, I jumped in with both feet. I was coachable and trainable and did everything my upline told me to do.

I made the list of 200 people. Contacted them. I approached family, friends, people I knew, people I didn't know. Two years later - complete burn out.

I had built a moderately successful business. But I knew there had to be a better way to build a business.

Chasing family and friends was not my idea of fun. Don't get me wrong, some people enjoy building their business this way. It's just not for me.

I had to find a way to work "smarter" not harder.

That's when I found this "Little Home Based Candle Business." It made sense. A simple product that requires little explanation. WOW! I was used to being on the phone forever trying to explain my product and business. This concept made so much more sense.

My research also lead me to the Internet. The Internet and a Home Based Candle Business. A perfect fit.

Once again, I was skeptical.

I did some more research and decided to go for it.

It was tough leaving my first home business. I had worked really hard and had built up a nice "supplemental" income.

But, I wasn't looking for supplemental. I wanted a replacement income.

So, I put my blinders on and haven't looked back since. I have built 99% of my home based candle business online. People come to me.

No more chasing friends, family and strangers. The best part - I'm having a blast and teaching others to do the same.

Building online is duplicatable. Network Marketing is teachable. If I can do it, so can you!

Network Marketing, Team Building and the Internet 

Why it's worked for me!

Team Building with a home based candle business has been a perfect it. Why does it work?

Candles are a simple product that people already love. I don't have to beg or convice people to buy them.

What about competition? There are only six major players in our industry..with juice and nutritional companies, you are competing with thousands. Not very good odds.

Have you ever tried to educate a person on a nutritional product? Not very easy. Candles do not take any explanation. People love "feel good" products.

Most MLM's require you to build a team. We have three ways to make money. You choose what is right for you.

Now, let's talk a little bit about the Internet. My passion - team building and using the Internet to do it.

Building a presence online has been a great experience.

The best part - it's fun and it's duplicatable. Teaching others the process is rewarding.

Not all business can be built online, but a home based candle business is perfect for Internet Marketing.

The Internet is a tool that works 24/7. Hundreds of thousands of people are online every day. They are looking for solutions and information.

Be that go to person and develop a presence online. It's the best thing I have ever done for my ome based candle business.
