About Me:

Hey there!

I’m 28 years old, I live in Westchester County, NY

and I’m a mother to my “furry” child, Princess.

AKA- My “silent” Business Partner ;)

I’ve been in the network marketing industry for 5 years.

In fact, I’ve never had a “real” job.

Well, okay, from 16 to 22 I worked at our local town pool

(a pool of 3,000 to 5,000 members… boy have I seen some stuff)

and at 22 I did coach JV Volleyball at the local High School.

So technically, for about 3 months I had a regular job coaching volleyball.

And I lead an undefeated season- btw ☺

But, all I really did was play volleyball with the girls and have fun ;)

At 23, just fresh out of college, I stumbled upon this industry and never looked back.

My experience was no different that probably a majority of people.

I was taught to wear a button or bug my family and friends to join.

(which I refused to do)

Or do the calling leads thing. I did do this rather successfully-

I built a ½ a million dollar a year business in 6 months doing this.

(which was pretty good if I don’t say so myself)

But it didn’t last and it just didn’t feel like the right way to build a business.

So I set off searching for “the answer”.

And…

In July of 2007 I found Social Media Marketing..

But back then it wasn’t even called that yet,

There were about 20 of us on Youtube and Myspace…

I saw this opportunity and off I went!

I had great success marketing this way-

Earning more in 1 month, than I had the previous year…

And I kept rocking using Social Media..

About 4 months in, something in me just clicked…

And I realized I really needed to learn all I could about marketing, this industry

And study with people that had achieved the success I desired..

That’s actually how I stumbled upon

http://www.TheMillionMindMarch.com

And what a WORLD I stumbled into!

Right away, I KNEW I was FINALLY being taught the complete TRUTH!

All leading back to my true passion-

Understanding human Psychology

(which I have a BS degree in)

And really empowering others-

That ANYTHING is possible…

It’s kinda weird how it all has gone full circle-

I wanted to be a psychologist..

And here I am along the same lines in a completely different industry

And getting paid a heck of a lot better ;)

These days I spend my time shooting fun videos with my “silent” business partner,

Hanging out on Social Media meeting cool people,

And just having fun

AND THIS IS MY BUSINESS??? LOL

It all started with the introduction to Social Media…

That’s why I’ve put together a Free Social Media Training Course-

“Social Media Rescue for Network Marketers”

http://www.SocialMediaRescue.com

Because I see many people charging thousands for training that you can find for free…

I always say this-

Never in the history of Network Marketing has there been a time where you can

jump online,

in your pj’s late at night (if you choose) and have the ability to reach millions of people through the social networking communities,

Like Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc..

But- the real key to long term success…

Is that it’s not about “Social Media”

Because let’s face it, 5 years from now-

Will Social Media be here?

Who knows- I’m thinking probably not..

The real success comes from

Learning how people think,

Developing real marketing skills,

and becoming a leader…

That’s what my

Social Media Rescue, For Network Marketers is All About!

Taking it way beyond Social Media Marketing!

If You Haven't Found Success, You Haven't Found What You Love.

I was reading from one of my mentors training manuals and he mentioned how when he found what he really had passion for, that's when he really hit success.

And it's ironic that I opened to this page and this section out of the hundreds of pages to read from because last night I caught E True Hollywood's Story on Oprah.

Obvsiously, she's built an extremely huge empire and is extremely wealthy, but what many people they interviewed for the show mentioned many, many times is that she does what sh… Continue

MLM Lies Exposed: MLM Makes Millionaires Overnight

First, I want to be clear. I love the network marketing industry, I believe 150% that you can build a successful mlm business and really use this industry to change your life.

I wanted to share my experience, how I bought into the hype at first and my disappointment in realizing it was not true.

But, when I realized the truth about network marketing- that it’s just a business, plain and simple, I realized it was about building a business long term.

I’m extremely grateful for having found The… Continue

MLM Training- It's All About Building Momentum

It's all about building momentum.

I know starting to build your business can be very intimidating, in fact, it can keep many great people from building their business.

It doesn't have to be so hard, in fact it's not.

It's just about building momentum and getting started.

That's where putting together a 90 day plan and DMO (Daily Method of Operation) comes into play.

That's what I do, and what I teach my team.

It's just about setting up your DMO, choosing methods of advertising to d… Continue

You Don't Have to Get it Perfect, Just Get it Going!

This is a quote from one of my teachers, Joe Schroeder and it's so true.

You dont' have to get anything perfect, you just have to start. Many people get blocked, as I have at times, doubting myself, and actually not moving forward in fear of not getting it perfect.

This isn't life. You can't get anything perfect before you try.

Back when I started using videos 16 months ago, I was so nervous and wasn't sure really how to do it right.

But I decided not to let my fear of getting it perfect kee… Continue

Decoding the "X Factor" of Successful People

Decoding the "X Factor" of Successful People.

Yesterday I happen to catch Entertainment Television's True Hollywood Story and it was about Rachel Ray.

I've seen bits and pieces of this THS, but yesterday I got it.

Having learned what I have the past 10 months about marketing, about business building and the real secrets behind building empires it was really interesting how much I have changed and what my perspective is now.

While I was watching this tv show, I was actually coming from… Continue
