Employed or Self Employed?

This morning I woke up to the cough that Bryan has.  I’m thinking, I sure am glad that I don’t have to go to a job today.  I do have little Adam, my grandson who is a week apart from Mckenna.  They are both turning 3.

I am lucky in the fact that the path I have chosen, allows me to decide my time line.  I’ve always been an entrepreneur at heart.  I remember when I was little at my Grandma and Grandpa’s house for get togethers.  All the Men would go to one end of the house, my Grandpas more manly side and the women would go to the more feminine side of the house.  I was the oldest of 5 kids, and my uncle had 4 kids.  Guess where you would find me?    I’d be sitting right next to my Grandpa and all his brothers, talking business.

My Grandpa invented the auger system, to bring coal up where they needed it.  They built their own home and after my Grandma died, I found out they were considered well off.  As a kid, I never felt that attitude from them.  Anyway, getting off my subject, I wanted to be just like them.  

I kinda am, in the sense that I don’t have to work.  I’ve always worked.  I don’t really consider babysitting work! That’s pleasure with a small monitary  bonus!  

Since starting the Enagic water business, not just drinking the water for over a year, but actually making the commitment to share the water, I feel like I have benefited so much.  As you know, I didn’t want any part of it.  I just stumbled onto making 280.00 on a machine, for doing basically nothing in my mind.

Some people think I’m crazy, but forget them.  Who cares if somebody thinks your crazy.  It’s really just thinking outside the box and as I call it, feeding the adrenaline junkie which I now know is alive and well, and stronger than ever inside me!

When I made the 280.00 per machine, I thought, wow, I can do this.  But this time, I’m going to only use the money I get from the company, and turn it back into building the business.  Like Business cards, labels for the jugs, the water bottle I drink out of, and most importantly, a website that offers the customer or client, to be able to purchase the machine, from anywhere in the world!  The EWS website only cost 30.00 a month.  When I did real estate I was paying 300.00 a month for similar.  So I used my first commission on purchasing the website for a year at 300.00 saving money, but also elimating the stress of the money going out every month.

I played with it for awhile and then got with Eric at EWS.  I watched his videos, that teach you how to do social media, to drive traffic to the website.  This has been an amazing journey so far, and the best is yet to come.  Even if all of this didn’t work out, the knowledge I’ve learned so far could be turned into a lucrative business, helping other businesses do the same.

Don’t you just love Win-Win situations!
