Back in 2009, I had been a stay at home mom since my oldest son was
born in 2001 (minus a 2yr waitress’ing “gig” to make ends meet). I had
ALWAYS had that entrepreneurial spirit since I was a child! I had a
massive LOVE for horses when I was younger. A friend and I (who shared
the same “horse fever” as me) hung around a neighborhood stables long
enough until they finally felt bad enough for us to let us in!
This kind man, Mr. Yost, let us in with a warning though… some of
his horses were rescues or wild horses that had never been cared for and
were not used to people, much less kids! They were unruly, and
UN-trusting! I didn’t care. I was just happy he finally let us in!
lol!
I spent before school, after school and my summer days, all day,
every day there just brushing the horses, bringing them carrots, walking
them, exercising them in the round pen, mucking stalls, building
trust, but mostly giving them love and attention, which they DEEPLY
needed! But, oddly enough, in return, I was filling the gaping hole in
my heart due to “horse fever” lol. I had wanted and BEGGED my mom for my
own horse for years! It was ALL I wanted! She was a single mother of
2 and couldn’t POSSIBLY begin to afford to feed and board a horse! We
lived with my grandparents, my mom was in college full time, and my
brother and I we perfectly happy living with our g-parents, Mun and Pop!
Love them!
It may sound crazy, but what happened in that summer and from then on
out, when I was maybe 9 yrs old, is what truly IGNITED my
entrepreneurial spirit! Even if I didn’t realize it at that point, I
learned that if you help others get what they want, you will get what
you want!
These UN-trusting, unruly, uncared for horses just needed to know
they could trust someone. Mr. Yost was astounded. These poor creatures
who were mistreated, never even knew what a saddle was, a rope,
halter, or what it meant to trust, were now kind, gentle, trusting. I
showed them they needed me, and I needed them. I gave them what they
wanted, and in return I got what I wanted. We were just two 10 year old
girls who gained trust from an adult, and love from the animals in
return! We were able to ride them, feed them by hand and really had
just socialized them. Mr. Yost was able to sell them to good owners and
attributed it all to us!
All the while I was learning a valuable lessons…again, That when you
give someone what they want, you get what you want in return.
All I had truly WANTED the whole time, was my own horse. SO BAD I
could taste it! My mom couldn’t afford it. BUT, I found a way,… by
mucking stalls, working, giving my time, attention and love,
I actually came to “own” 5 horses without paying a DIME!
In FACT, they ended up paying ME for cleaning stalls and doing “stable”
work! HA… Just for doing what I wanted to do anyways! That was more
than I could have EVER asked for!
Now isn’t that the TRUE lesson in business and life?
- Do you want to get paid for what you love doing?
- Do you conceive, believe and achieve what you want?
- Are you getting what you want out of life?

MY FIRST BUSINESS…
In 2009 both my little boys were now in school! I had always wanted
to start my own business, but it was important to me to still be home
for them. I had contemplated LOTS of ideas. After talking to my cousin
on the phone one day, she was complaining about how she couldn’t “tan”
and hated it! Skin cancer runs in her family, and she just wanted to be
able to have a bronze! lol We hung up, and it got my wheels turning!
I started researching, and long story short, I started a
Mobile Spray Tanning Business.
I was able to work it part-time in the evenings when my husband came
home from work, and on the weekends. I marketed my business and worked
my tail off…and it boomed! Four months later I hired my first employee,
and 8 months later I started creating my own Sunless line of Retail
Products! I had generated so much interest in what I was doing, EVERY
body was asking me how to start their own business. That’s when the
“Bronzed Envy Business Kits” were born! I was marketing my business kits on blogs, websites, facebook, etc!
My 2nd yr in business, I was making a 6-figure/yr income! All, PART-TIME from home!
When it all started!
My business was featured on 3 Austin News Stations!
One of the AWESOME Products in my Line!
I was doing GREAT! BUT, what I found as I moved from a “local, mobile
spray tan business”, to a “Nationwide and Beyond” market..is that it
was becoming harder and took longer to market! Learning how to market
your business online is a NECESSITY, but is NOT easy!
If you own a business, I can guess what you do! Hands down,…. YOU ARE A MARKETER! Am I right? Of
course I am! If you said, “nope, I own a gym, I own a store”…then your
not doing well in your business. I can guess that bc to be SUCCESSFUL
in business, you ABSOLUTELY MUST MARKET! And not only market, but
market efficiently, effectively and to the RIGHT audience!!
After ALL the marketing I’ve done over the years for my
business’s…all the HOURS I’ve spent
researching how to market online,
how to get on Google, how to get people to your website, how to
blog…EMPOWER NETWORK’S SYSTEM is the most COMPLETE, SIMPLE, and EASY
system to follow! PERIOD!
WHERE WAS EMPOWER BEFORE???
Don’t WASTE ANY more of your precious time! Even if you know NOTHING
about Online marketing,…you HAVE to learn! It’s the way of the future
and if you want a thriving business, you must market! You must keep up
with the times, if not, you will get LEFT BEHIND!!
