A little history on me

 I've been a single mom for the last 16 years. After my divorce, I decided to look for work outside of "traditional" corporate America and I got my series 6 and 63 license and became a financial planner. It was the first time I would get paid on commission only. Who knew it would place me in another world where you earn what you're worth. I believe this is the best way to work. The sky is the limit.

Once you get a taste of "freedom", you will never go back. I've worked for myself all these years and wouldn't trade it for a J O B for anything in the world. It's nice to know that if I need more money....I'm not dependent on overtime or a bonus to get it. I'm dependent on me working harder and making it happen. I write my own ticket and there's nothing in the world like you calling the shots.

I've done everything from Insurance to Credit card terminals to Headhunting.....I've dabbled here and there....always in Sales. People are not use to people bragging about being a salesperson. I'm not bragging.....but I'm sure not complaining. We learn how to sell ourselves from a very young age.
As an infant you learn early on that crying will get you just about anything you want. Sales.....
