New Home Business Today: Welcome to my blog!
Hi! Thanks for checking out my blog!!
I am an internet business owner, entrepreneur and passionate animal person. I hope that my blog provides you with interesting information about my business journey from employee to employer and all the other adventures I have on a daily basis. There is never a dull moment here so it should make for exciting and some times amusing reading!!!
Along with being a business woman, I am also a devoted wife and mother. After having my children, I knew I didnt want to go back to a boring job which took up all of my time and energy. I wanted to be there for my kids whilst still being able to contribute to my family's lifestyle and income, as well as keep my mind active. This was further concreted by my burning desire to be my own boss and challenge myself to do something dynamic.
Coming from a rural farming area, business opportunities were limited. I had tried to make it before in a multi level marketing businesses, but found it just didnt work for me. I hated having to do "cold calling" and what I felt to be "pushy" marketing. Every time I was rejected by someone it really impacted on my self confidence.
Being the pro active and determined person that I am, I turned to researching online business opportunities to see if I could find something that I could do from home around the hours that suited my busy schedule as a mum and wife. After quite a few months of research, I decided to take the plunge and build my own pet supplies retail website (I am a Veterinary Nurse by profession and a lover of everything to do with animals). After many months of careful planning and excitement I commenced my online business in August 2006. It wasnt long after the launch of my new business that I soon realised how little I knew about marketing on the internet. It was all very confusing and technical and I felt completely overwhelmed by the multitude of information & more importantly who to believe. One particular day during a conversation with another online colleague she mentioned a marketing system that she had been recommended to help her with her own business. It sounded like just the thing I needed to de-mystify the whole internet marketing process, so I decided to take a look into it for myself and made the best purchase I could ever have made.
That was the day my life as an internet business owner changed forever! After just a few weeks of being involved and putting the marketing system into practice, results were already evident. The best thing for me was that I finally felt in control of my own future. It was an amazing feeling!! For too long I had plodded along flying by the seat of my pants without really knowing and understanding what I was doing or why I was doing it. This marketing system gave me complete step by step instructions on how to get the results that I wanted to achieve.
The last 3 years has been a pretty steep learning curve for me, but the great thing is I now know so much more that I ever thought possible. No only that, I am having a great time seeing how much I can achieve and doing it on my terms which is very liberating!
Until next time...
