Working from home....I am SO BLESSED!

OK....being a Mom does not have to, nor should it, make a difference in being successful with this business. In fact, this business is the best way to be a Mom. The vehicle is right here.

So, how does one do it? Well, I will be honest...when I got started, I had no idea what I was doing, thank God I had an awesome support team and training to guide me every step of the way. So...I got started full-force and never looked back.

Kaori was 4, Ronin was 2 and Kobie was just a few weeks old. I found out quickly that I could talk on the phone and feed Kobie at the same time (I was breastfeeding her) :):) In fact, I did my business around my kids for the most part. Did I sacrifice for the first 6-8 months...oh ya. Dinner was served and there were times I would get up and be on the phone while everyone else was still eating. I ate breakfast standing up, on the phone....I was on the phone while I pushed them in the swing, or watching them in the pool, or playing on the floor....I worked. Bedtime was SHORT.....so I could go back to work. So I definitely was working and watching kids all at the same time.

But here is the thing....Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat! Why? Because I KNEW that if I didn't do THAT to make my business successful, I would be working a 9-5 JOB outside of the home and someone else would be raising my children and I would miss ALL of those moments. Did I spend as much time with them as I wanted? NO....but it was better than being gone ALL day, come home exhausted, spend a little bit of time with them just to do it all over again the next day. And in 6 months, my check was growing, and the Moulton home...was a happy home! Again, it did come with sacrifice... .I don't want to mislead anyone on that end. Did I miss moments of their lives? I am sure that I did....I was so busy working and watching and talking and emailing.... something is going to be missed. But again...you do what you have to TODAY to make life better for tomorrow. And it can, and will, be...if YOU make that choice to get it done.

Here is the bottom line.....You have to decide this company is where you want to be...where your heart is. You have to decide if this is THE business that will help you reach your goals and dreams in life for you and your children. YOU have to make that decision. Once you do.....then do whatever it takes to be successful. Know that NO ONE will be able to stop you from achieving your goals, whether that is family or friends or even the contact that said NO. Don't let someone else determine your success....YOU will have the success that you want, if you apply yourself. If your kids are old enough (or even if they are not, because I did this from day one)....explain to them "Mommy is going to be working right now so that Mommy can be home all the time with you." I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to me when I hear my kids ask how come other parents have to go to work and why don't they just work at home like Mommy. They know that I work, they know I have to do certain things for my business, but I drop them off at school in the morning, I pick them up in the afternoon and we come home and do homework, talk about their day, I take them to piano lessons, and horseback riding lessons and we travel. That is the life I wanted and dreamed of for my children and NOTHING was going to stop me. All I needed was this company and my belief and passion.

Been a while...

 Lots of things are happening in the Moulton household...new living room and dining room renovation, along with a new laundry room...crazy times with 3 little ones running around. 

My little precious 6 year old princess now needs glasses...poor girl has been struggling at school, espeically with her reading...I hope this helps her tremendously!  It was taking a lot out of her to finish her reading assignments and we now know what the issue was.  She never once complained! What a trooper!

Ronin is all boy...spring is upon us and he is outside and in the MUD! Gotta love that!  He is such a little character...loves nature, animals, climbing trees...you name it..BOY STUFF!

Kobie...my little princess, is just that! She knows she is the little one in the house and can usually get what she wants...something we are all working on...LOL!  She is totally fascinated with DORA!  We listen to "Do, do do, do do DORA!!!" and "We did it!"  All day...she is constantly singing those words...so cute!

Well I thought I would just sit and write...very relaxing...love this new blogging life! :)
