My favorite quote: "It's easy to make a buck, it's a lot tougher to make a difference."  By Tom Brokaw

My dad was a teacher, so education is important to me.  Since I enjoy working from home, I feel it is important to learn more about the industry and what "due diligence" research involves.  I found free information that immensely improved my business approach and saved me a lot of money.  More importantly, too many reps are set up for failure from the start, because they don't understanding what they joined.  I hope to change that by helping other work at home moms understand what to be looking for within their companies to achieve the greatest success.    

I live in Central Wisconsin with my husband. We have one daughter and son-in-law and step-granddaughter.  I enjoy spending my days helping others, time with family and friends, and bookkeeping for friend's gift shop and running my own business from home. 

My favorite past-time is to knit (mostly felted purses), and read self-development, alternative health and non-fiction books.  Oh...and try out new recipes!

In my previous life, I managed a radiology business practice and billing office.  Home-based is the best - we are aWAHMplanet household and loving it!!!
