From Robin…..
Hi! Robin here. Welcome! I hope you will find some helpful information within the pages of our blog.
Whether you’d like to just supplement your current income or enjoy the freedom of being a full-time entrepreneur, we’re dedicated to providing information to help you.
I generally work from my home office outside of Dallas. I have been blessed, however, to also be able to travel the world with my husband and meet some amazing people along the way.
I’ve worked from hotels and coffee shops in Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as all over North America. “Have laptop, will travel” is a great business motto!
None of that would be possible, however, if I had a traditional 9-5 job. Working for myself means I don’t have to grovel to get time-off, and I can work when I want and where I want…. and you can, too!
My philosophy…
I believe anyone can become a successful entrepreneur, given the right education and information. Like any high-paying career, however, learning is required!
I believe that we are all wired for success; we’re already equipped with the ability to learn and everything required to be successful in business can be learned!
My colorful past…
I’ve been a musician (guitar), a firefighter (and fire investigator and instructor), business woman (past and present), horsewoman (prefer Western riding), and sportswear designer.
I’ve held jobs as a freight dispatcher, insurance adjuster, and lighting consultant. While I loved what I did, I also suffered financially when companies closed, relocated and downsized.
Nearly 15 years ago, I made the decision to never again be dependent upon an employer for a paycheck….and I haven’t looked back since! The days of allowing your house, your car and your family’s future to be secured by a single employer are long gone. There is no “job security” any more in working for someone else. At the very least, every family needs a financial “Plan B” for insurance…and having a part-time business is filling that need for millions of people around the world.
Living a life that matters…
I have one mission in life—to empower more people to earn life-changing income so they can go out into the world and do good things for others. The more money we can earn, the more we can support those in need around the world. Collectively, all of us doing our small part can impact the world in a big way.
Why I do what I do…
Over the last 20+ years, I’ve seen so many people fall short of their financial dreams. They wanted the income a home business could provide, but they underestimated what it takes to create that income.
The secret? It’s all about learning to advertise and market your business effectively. That’s why I’m dedicated to sharing information to teach others how to create more success with their business of choice.
My friend Judy…
Several years ago, I met Judy Hasenack through business. We both shared a long history in the home business industry and I discovered she also had a strong desire to help others.
I think Judy was born to help people. She has a heart for sharing her knowledge and one of the warmest and kindest spirits I’ve ever known.
Judy would probably describe me as the “tell-it-like-it-is gal” and I’d describe Judy as the “warm fuzzies gal.” Our two personalities combined usually means our training calls have as much laughter as information.
We’ve teamed up to share our business information, our tips and secrets to help more people realize their entrepreneurial dreams. Whether you want to advertise and market your business online or offline, we’re sure you’ll find some golden nuggets here in our blog.
