My Very First PayCheck In Years

I am
a Military wife
a mother
a stay at home wife
a home schooling mom
a short order cook
the maid and well so many other things.

Yet none of those things give me the feeling that I got today. As a first time business owner and only about 6 weeks into starting my business. Though really lets face the facts that I did not honestly work at all until 2 weeks ago. I kept saying I was going to work but I failed to follow through with working much at all.

Today  when my children ( who love to check the mail ) brought me something that has changed my life. In a way that I didn't think it would ever be changed  since being a stay at home mom has been my life for the past like .... well since I had my oldest 11 almost 12 years ago. I have done odd jobs and gone to school for random things. None of which I honestly felt like I was working nor did I really enjoy doing.

Yet today that all changed for the better, I think for the better at least.

I got my very first pay check from Beach Body and let me just say WOW!

The feeling of having a honest to God check that is made out to you in your hand is amazing!!!!
It is a feeling I could not for the life of me explain. It is not just about the amount of money that
I personally earned. It is all about the fact that I know I can earn money all on my own with out anyone doing it for me. I don't need to be a stay at home mom or wife. I could go out and work like any one else.

However to know that I can be at home with my kids and do everything I would normally be doing during the day. Yet make a few $100 dollars to put towards any thing I want. Well that feeling takes my breathe away. I know my husband makes good money and we have extra income coming in already. I do not have to work by any means as we have a pretty great life. But I did it and dang it I am proud of myself.

I know it is just the first of many paychecks to come but the comfort of knowing that if God forbid. Something were to happen to my husband where he could not work. I could in fact support our family all by myself.

Most of my life I have felt as if I could not do anything. That I wasn't good enough to do anything with my life besides be a mother and lets face it some people think I don't even do that well enough. I know that all those feelings stem from the abuse I went through for most of my life. From my birth mother and birth siblings who felt that I will never be good enough. Not with my life being a life that those people could only dream about. I know that they can not hold me back anymore since it has been such a long time since I allowed that mess into my life.

Anyhow I am excited to know that I can stand on my own and that my husband is very proud of me for every step I have taken. He loves and supports me more than any one has ever supported me in my life. He was just as proud of my check today as I am.

EEEEEEKKKKKK!! Y'all for real I am so excited about my check! I am so excited that I am rocking my own business and loving every moment of it. This was the boost I needed to see that the things I am doing every day are in fact paying off, for me and my family.

As silly as that might sound to some, that little paper check. It meant so much to me and it is the step I needed. To for once feel proud of myself for how far I have come these past few years. To know that where I started in life is in fact not where I have to end up.

That check was everything I could have ever dreamt of it to be and then some.

Thank you everyone who has been there and shared this journey with me. I can not wait to see where the next 6 weeks will take me!

If you are looking for an amazing career, a job you can take with you.
No matter where you would go or what path in life you were to take.

Lost in life , lost with in myself

Who am I?

What do I want to do in life?

Where do I want to be in 5 years?

These are questions I have been faced with all my life more so today then any other day of my life. 

I can honestly say I do not know who I am or what I want to do with my life. 

At 28 years old I still feel like a teenager waiting on my life to start. Out side of my family I can not say that I have much of a life or life goals. I want to be able to stay at home with my kids. Raise my children and home school my kids all while I am working to support myself and my kids. I know my husband does a great job  of taking care of us as it is however why should he?
Why should he have to pay all of the bills and do everything on his own when he and I are meant to be a team? 
Why can't I find a job working while I am staying at home with my kids. 

Here is my problem I do not have a college degree nor do I have much when it comes to training.

I don't want too be a customer service  worker or a call center agent. That is just NOT the life for me and I just can't do it. 
So what are my options really?

I have searched the internet up and down and well all around. 
So far I have found  that there pretty much are NO jobs out there besides selling random products.

Don't get me wrong I love to buy from those ladies when I am on the hunt for some new products to try. ( I love Mary Kay make up remover )

However that is not a career that is like the updated door to door sales man and that is not the life for me. 

I am a Military spouse so I can't be working long hours when my children need me at home. 
I can't go to school for years in order to get a job. I need money to start coming in now.
Christmas is coming and I feel like I need to help pay for everything. 

Here is what I have found out!

1. you can go to college and find a job at home
2. No I am not making a joke
3. You can make it in sales it take A LOT of work but it can be done.
4. There are a lot of career fields where you can work from home.

5. don't allow being a Military life to stop you from reaching your goals

6. you can get help for paying for college or what ever trade school you pick to go to. you can also get help  not only paying for school as well as paying for a few other things that you need. 

Don't let this life stop you from living your life!
You can do anything you want to do no matter where you are. you can do anything you set your heart for.
