11 Million American Women Have Home Businesses - I'm One of Them!

I am passionate about becoming financially independent from home. I am one of the 11 million women in America today who have their own home business!I've been pursuing my dream for several years and I won't become one of the 97% of people who fail!

Several years ago, I had a good 9-to-5 job - more like 6-to-5 really. Over time, it became painfully obvious that my parents were not so young anymore and needed far more help than I could give them while maintaining my 6AM - 5PM schedule. I eventually had to leave my job to devote more time to them.

Of course, this meant we lost my salary and my husband was just about to retire! So we were in a "bit of a pickle". My pay gone, my husband's significantly dropping and 5 little mouths to feed (more on that later!).

In any spare time I had, I found myself playing silly computer games to unwind. One day, I had the "Oprah a-ha! moment"! Why not stop playing games on that computer and put it to work for me?

That was the day I started on my quest. I've come a long way. I've learned alot. I've made some money and I've lost some money. I've made new friends. The future is looking bright!

A Day in the Life 

My household consists of my husband, our 3 girls (the dogs) and 2 parrots. They are always the priority - who needs cleaned, fed, hugged, play, etc.

After coffee and breakfast, I log on and get to work! Seems like I spend the day on the computer, but I'm working for US now, not just playing card games.

After an hour or so, I pack up and go to my mother to spend the day with her. It is a full-time job in itself and can be very stressful. I have interent access there, too, so I do what I can while I'm there. (Thanks to my trusty laptop.)

When I get home, husband, dogs, birds are waiting for their supper. Happily, my husband is adjusted very well to retirement! He likes to cook so more often than not, he has dinner ready for us. Then it's back to work!

Always take time for the special things in life! 

Oh Pleeeeze throw that ball!

I can always count on my little "Westie" to come and put her yellow tennis ball at my feet - telling me it's time to play!

When it all gets to be too much... 

Relax with a favorite blanket!

The long, winding road! 

After trying out several different approaches to making money on the internet, I came across a program that seemed like a good fit for me. At that time, I still didn't know an awful lot and it took a while to figure out what was going on.

I came "this close" to quitting that program several times. I had a non-existent sponsor and it seemed like all I was doing was making other people rich. It seemed like every time I was about to quit, something was added, deleted or changed in the program that gave it new life. Eventually it drilled down to a few core components and, for me, things really took off. Although this program is not in business anymore, the core components are doing very well.

I remain involved in the core components, some more actively than others but overall, I am in profit and plan to build all the companies to the point where I can say I am "financially independent" thanks to my home business. And, now, I am associated with a brand new system that will ensure my success!

OK - So, what is it you do anyway? 

Sorry, I talk too much!

I am building a successful, sustainable home based business with the help of TeamUp2Succeed!

TeamUp2Succeed is a new, revolutionary system that is absolutely ROCKING the internet! My team is growing daily! And that's one of the things that makes TeamUp2Succeed so special - Team Build and Team Work!

Coupled with state-of-the-art training and marketing, TeamUp2Succeed is the new power-player on the web. And the best part? There is absolutely NO CHARGE for the TeamUp2Succeed system! That's right - TeamUp2Succeed is completely FREE!

So, what's playing at the movies? 

We don't go to the movies alot - can't agree on what to see! Bribed my husband to go see Dark Knight! LOVED IT! Now I own it myself and can watch it anytime!
