Prior to embarking on my Yoga journey and becoming a yoga teacher, I had to take an early retirement from the Federal Housing Administration.  In that world I fell in love with helping people qualify to buy their first home.  When I retired, I went into the real estate world as a mortgage loan processor and then a loan officer.  Then I decided to become a real estate sales agent!

Well none of these roads were like working for a company where you go in and do an assigned job and get paid.  No, you hustle for your money, you work 24/7 until you get to a point where you are able to learn to manage your time and energy.  You learn the ins and outs of the system. 

Then something happens and you begin to fall in love with whatever brings you  happiness.  It may be helping a family with the closing on their first home!  Maybe its when someone tells you that the product you shared with them improved their life somehow. 

It's a great feeling to help people and then somehow it starts to click and then you experience the freedom of setting your own schedule with the understanding that what you put in you get out.

After leaving my federal employment, and after my surgery, I was led to Yoga. 

I believe all those experiences helped me understand where I am today.  The 

joy of a student telling you that they are feeling better, observing a student reach a point that they could not do before is a good feeling!  The freedom to set my schedule, plan my classes and not have to answer to anyone but myself is good. 

However, self-employment is not for everyone.  It takes discipline and dedication and a tough shell when things are not going as expected.

I am always open to learning new things and always looking to see how I can somehow not only increase my income flow, but help others to do the same.  We live in the 'world' we all need cash flow, the more the merrier, not only can you help yourself, but you can help others!

With that said in full disclosure, I am a Wellness Advocate for doTerra and an Independent Representative for Nature's Sunshine.  I am not an "Avon Lady", although I did sell Avon many years ago!  I encourage all of you to keep your options open and try and find your passion!  Kuddos to all of you that have embarked or are small business owners!
