Side Hustle is the New Black

These days it seems like everyone has a side hustle of some kind, my DM's are full of ladies trying to share their products. I never thought I would ever join a direct sales company, let alone two! Read on to find out what happened when I decided to take another chance.

You may or may not know this about me, I did a very short stint as a coach for a health and wellness company. While I do not regret that choice, looking back on it, I was never passionate about either of those things. I get way more excited about a new shade of lipstick, than a new workout program. However, at that time in my life, I was not in a great place and I was looking something more to help me pull myself out of my funk!

Surprise, surprise I didn't have much financial success in that company, what that experience did for me in that season, was bring incredible women into my life and taught me about sisterhood. These women truly helped support me to not only lose weight and focus on my health, but also held me up when my mom was losing her battle with cancer. Some of those ladies have become my closest friends and those who are still coaching are absolutely killing it in that industry!

After that experience, in the depths of grief and exhaustion, I convinced myself that direct sales was not for me. Have you ever done this? Stumbled over something or compared yourself to someone else's success and decided, I can’t do what she does, that's it, it's not for me, moving on! Funny how you can be so sure about something and the universe puts you on a completely different path!

I became a customer of LimeLife about 18 months ago, when a dear friend reach out to me and asked if I wanted to check out some of her products. She was sweet enough to bring everything to me and I became OBSESSED! I spent enough on my first order to make a car payment and I've been wearing it ever since. Little did I know that one on one in my living room would have such an impact on my life.

That same friend asked a few times if I had any interest in joining her as a business partner. I said no. A LOT. I gave her excuse after excuse, of why. I didn't think it was for me, I had zero interest in joining another direct sales company and my personal favorite "I don't have time". To her credit, she was never pushy or annoying about it, she just saw potential in me that I didn't at the time. I've come to learn, that's part of the culture of this company, women seeing potential for other women and helping them to see it for themselves.

I finally said yes to her this year for my birthday, I decided that a brand new business would be one of the coolest gifts I have ever received! So I finally took a leap and OH MY GOODNESS, I had no idea how much I would love this. I had no idea how focused the CEO is on helping us all get paid our worth, I had no idea I would find my home and be surrounded by true sisters who want success for me as much as I want it for myself.

As I am finishing this blog, I'm sitting on a plane coming back from our annual convention and girl, I will tell you this, my plate has been full for years, way too full actually, but my cup, not so much. I have spent the last three days soaking up the energy and love from the most amazing women on the planet, and my cup is overflowing. I have more creative energy and enthusiasm for my business and my life in general. I have new friends that I'm so connected to, and people I know I'll have as friends for life, regardless of where this business takes me.

Truth is, this isn't a side hustle for me, this is a passion, this is a place where I can grow, this is a place where I am limitless, this is a place where I have so many sisters praying for my success. I know direct sales may not be for everyone, I get it, I truly do. But, if you're even a little curious on what it's like or the potential for growth and income, please consider this company. I'm a firm believer in divine timing, but I wish I wouldn't have waited this long to find this family. I am truly home.


P.S. If any of my Limelife sisters are reading this, I would like to take a moment to express my gratitude for how you opened your arms and welcomed me into this family. No matter where your name is on the leader board, everyone treated me like I mattered and was valued. Each of you are so dynamic and incredible and it's a privilege to support and stand with you in this business. Thank you for everything you are and everything you do! Keep spreading that light my gorgeous friends 💕
