I went to my very first "stella & dot" opportunity meeting last night. I didn't really know what to expect. I have been to opportunity meetings for other direct marketing businesses, and they are usually at someones house, sitting around the living room, very casual. This one was different. It was at a wine bar. I walked in and there were beautiful "stella & dot" signs, the room was set up really nice. The jewelry display was GORGEOUS. There were a lot of people there. About 50% of the women were guests, people contemplating the business. The rest were stylists, and leaders. A pretty big geographical area was represented. I was most impressed by the fact that the company sent a corporate rep to come speak to us. She flies around the country to speak at scheduled information meetings, answer questions, and help people understand how this company is designed to fit that gap so many women have faced as life changes (career, marriage, children, etc...). I have been searching for years for a career opportunity that would let me be a part of a fun, exciting, business, but with the flexibility to work around my families needs. I thrived in the corporate world. I like staying on top of business trends, marketing strategies, employee development trends. I haven't found too many opportunities to discuss last months "Fast Company" or "Entrepreneur" articles at "Mommy & Me". I do believe I may have found the answer to my prayers-- a way to be a part of an exciting, cutting edge company, where I can achieve as much success as I am willing to work for---- and a way to connect with other women who like me are balancing families etc... To top it off I get to play with hot, fashion forward, jewelry, designed by world class designers! I'll keep you posted, but I think I may have found a Win Win. Have a great weekend! I want to thank those of you who have taken the time to let me know you follow my blog. It is encouraging to me, and I appreciate it!
I am helping to prepare a baby shower for a young woman at our church. She is young, just 22. Thinking about her, and what the future may hold for her and her little family, got me to thinking about life at 22. Much has changed for me since I was 22. That was really a difficult time. I didn't realize at the time that it was difficult. I had graduated from college, was having a post college, pre-real life, super good time. I was bar tending, partying, picking up and traveling to far away places to party some more. I didn't really have much in the way of financial responsibility yet, and my parents were living in Egypt-- leaving me in charge of the house and my younger sister. It was an "out all night, sleep all day", kind of life. To be honest, I was setting a pretty poor example for my sister, who at the time was working full-time at a nursing home, and was far more responsible than I was. Looking back at that time, and even later, till about age 25, it make...
