My BIG News: Get Beautiful Skin and a Brilliant Business Opportunity Partnering With the Famous Doctors Who Created Proactiv. They Are Now Revolutionizing the Anti-Aging Skincare Market. http://victoriaskincare.net

I stepped into the entrepreneurial arena as a young mother.  I was blessed with twins in 1988.  It was more economical to stay at home with them than to put them in daycare.  I had to find a way to earn money to supplement my husband income as a trade off for not holding a 9 to 5.  I took my passion for PR and interaction with moms in a similar situation and created a home-based business.  I haven’t looked back since.  WomenPartner.org is the culmination of years of trial and error as my own boss.

You may be looking for an instant business that you can step into so you can start the count down to your exit from your 9 to 5.  Direct sales could be a good fit for you.

When you think about having a business of your own, direct sales is the perfect business. You can work your own hours and set your own time schedule so that you’re home when the kids come home from school. If you have a doctors appointment, you don’t have to ask your boss off for the day – you’re the boss. With TreSkinRX, you’re the boss and what’s great about TreSkinRX is that we don’t do parties, something many direct sales companies do.

Years ago, I was in a business where I did parties, and being gone in the evening when my husband was home from a long day at work, didn’t work for my family. TreSkinRX’s philosophy is to educate customers, encourage them to try our products (2-week trial kits) and take their order for full size product. It’s very simple and we have a 92% reorder rate. That’s what consultants love about TreSkinRX, it’s the samples. Giving someone 2 – 3 full weeks of trying a product is perfect and the customers really appreciate it.

With TreSkinRX, the first year is a freebie. What I mean by that is that as you build your business, you don’t even have to order anything yourself. — Paula Tredrea www.treskinrx.com 630-212-3313 paula.tredrea@mytreskinrx.com

Linda Barbour of Shares What She Loves About The Joy of Connecting

As a motivational speaker, fitness-lifestyle management coach and distributor for Organo Gold, I am passionate about helping others achieve their goals. I believe that the right connections and building lasting relationships are important and an intricate part of our success. With that said, these are the very reasons why I decided to join Bonnie Ross-Parker’s vision and The Joy of Connecting.

The Joy of Connecting is not just your average networking group, it empowers, inspires and encourages women to reach their full potential. As The Joy of Connecting Licensee for Acworth, GA, I have gained fulfillment that reaches far beyond business. Through the relationships and connections that I have gained since being a part of this dynamic organization, I have grown in every area of my life. After becoming affiliated with the organization my business has grown tremendously, both with customers and team building, as well as my stepping out and fulfilling a dream to launch an outreach organization to empower women.

I encourage any woman who is looking to grow both in business and in their personal life to get connected to The Joy of Connecting!

Linda Barbour, Acworth, GA 30101

March and April have been great months for The Joy of Connecting. In March Ms. Gladys Kelly of Canton Georgia became the National Director of The Latina Joy of Connecting (LJOC). We are very excited to have Gladys at the helm and are looking forward to growing and connecting with our Latina sisters in a very big way.

JOC has continued to grow with several new Licensees. Ghislaine Smith and Susan Guthrie are priming Powder Springs, GA; Regina Roberts has come on board in Lawernceville, GA as a partner to Joanna Boyce-Ragland and Janice Brooks has become the co-licnesee with Michele Ellis in the Hiram/Dallas, GA area.

These leaders in the business world are poised and ready to take JOC to the next level teaching women how to connect all over the country. We couldn’t be happier!
