I became a Silpada Designs Rep for a few reasons. Most importantly, I love the product. Hundreds of designs of sterling silver jewelry with a lifetime guarantee!! Secondly, I wanted financial freedom and long-lasting relationships with like-minded woman. I made my first sale on Friday. I was so excited. I have my business launch party on Feb. 25th and I booked a Silpada fundraiser. I think I'm off to a good start. However, if I've learned anything from being a business owner (I've owned my own pet sitting business for almost 6 years), it's that there is always room for improvement. God has blessed me with an unshakeable drive to succeed in business and my personal life. I am constantly striving to better myself personally and professionally. This has brought great success in both areas of my life. I love meeting new people and building new relationships. I have some wonderful people in my life that make the journey, and the struggles that come with it, all worthwhile. Thank you to all of you who have touched my life in such meaningful ways and helped me to become who I am. Janice, Buffy, Sheri, Gretchen and all the rest of you. You know who you are because I tell you often. Never take people for granted - the best life lesson I have ever learned.
