You never would have guessed

Having my cake

 and eating it too

 When I get asked to do something, or to go somewhere - the first question I ask is, "Do I have to put pants on?"

I'm a home body. Sweat pants? Count me in. Fuzzy socks? I'm all there. No make up? Hi. Smelly good candles lit all day everyday? I'm yours.

Don't get me wrong, I love going out. Bars, dancing - I'm a sucker for early 2000's hip hop and a shot with everyone. But...If I could have a bottle of wine, trashy reality TV, and my heated blanket?

I'm game. There is something about catching a lazy buzz in the comfort of your home on a weekend night that just feels right.

 As previously mentioned in a different wordy rant...

I've been working since I was 16. That required pants. But it also supplied an income. I've survived off of my hard working cash for years. I was virtually approached with the "What would you do if you could work from home?" cold messages. Or "Make money by answering surveys." YAWN. I may be a home body, but that doesn't mean I'm boring. I'd love to hear the "CHA CHING" of my paycheck from the comfort of my recliner - but if I'm not interested in the subject, I'm not inclined to continue to do it.

Of course I'd love to be social, make money, and do it from home - but I can't afford hundreds of dollas of inventory that most companies require.

 Let's take a little side note before I further explain the point of this blog...

I have curly hair. I've never appreciated these curls until straightening it became too much of a hassle. Now, I'm like give me big, fat, juicy curls, baby. If you're a curly girl, you know that once that mane goes up into the messy bun, there is no turning back. You have to endure the frizz and knots until your next wash day.

Boys - we can't wash everyday, okay? You're sitting here thinking "Why don't you just shower after you put it up?" We shower. We just have specific "wash," days because 1) it's WORK and 2) our breed of human just doesn't work that way...you dove using heathens. 

 I finally got fed up with my frizzy, damaged do.

 My mom has more coarse hair than I do, so when she heard me complaining about the struggle of my #haircare needs, she directed me to a friend who sold a product that helps reverse damage, and amps up your natural hair needs.

I don't trust anyone to trim my hair because they cut it as if it dries straight, so it ends up looking like a Christmas tree. So hearing about a non-store bought brand that had reviews to show their success...I was sold. Give me all of the volume. Load me up on the shine. Get rid of of these ouchies.

Fast forward to a year later. My husband and I are happily achieving our #hairgoals. His thinning has thickened and my curls - you'd be jealous.

 So there I am happily agreeing to upgrading on this product so I can get discounts. 

Then, one day it becomes apparent to me...with a recent upgrade...I'm eligible to not only get the highest savings on every purchase...but I can sell this stuff?!

Spoiled home body me was hyped - but skeptical "not about to be in a pyramid scheme" me was like...uhmmmmm, I need details.

So I did some research and talked to my girl who sold me the product - and I was shooketh to find out that: there is no obligation to sell, there are no monthly quotas to meet, there is no requirement to hold inventory,  free shipping on all products, commission + bonuses, and 30% discount....say less. 

I immediately signed up for the discounts alone, then I was like okay hold on - I could use extra money. I can work my buns off from home to build myself and this business up. So low and behold, I jumped on board.

Guess where I'm writing this from?

Home!

 So here's the thing...

I love the perks of the discounts on my hair life savers. And I can't complain about the money I'm making along the way. 

Always do your research when it comes to signing up for network marketing. Find one that works for YOU.

I'm sitting on a solid foundation of working as hard as I want to, to make my small business a success, with an amazing support system, and wonderful people who are supporting me along the way...with great hair of course. This isn't even a sales pitch or me trying to lure in to my business. 

I'm emphasizing on a personal experience with something I love, and am also receiving the benefits of helping others heart eyes it too - while making some extra dolla bills.

 So what did we learn today, class?

- I don't like putting pants on.

- There are legit ways to make money on a valid product...from home
