The Test

I had no idea that I'd be standing in the same place I was two and a half years ago. My direct sales company has closed and I'm faced with the decision on what I will do to earn an income. I find myself here again with a host of knowledge and resources but without a direct sales business. I've rebuilt my business and rebuilt a team and now it's gone again.

The pain is different this time. The pain for me was my business partner who was working her business in order to keep her son in private school. It was the woman who is a single Mom who was working her business to make ends meet. It's the woman who has a crazy work schedule who wanted to fire her boss because she had no personal time. The woman who just quit her teaching job because of how successful her business has been this past year. I know you have to have pain in life but I know my role is to stay motivated and inspire others because they need me.

From the pain I can gain peace. I was in the process of reading Peace from Broken Pieces by Iyanla Vanzant. It is amazing how you can have tests in your life in order to have a testimony. I am looking forward to looking back on this time to help inspire, encourage and support more women in the future.

Stay true to yourselves. Give yourself permission to decide what your next move will be. The most important thing is to remember to keep on reaching for your dreams. Go forward with our dreams and goals. We might have to take a detour but we will get to our final destination.

When I look back on this experience I know I've gained much more than I loss. I have met some amazing women and I got to work each day with them. They have touched my life in countless ways. To me this is  priceless.

I'm working to stay motivated so I can pass THE TEST.
