At the age of 36, I can honestly say that I am happy. Yup. I am happy. I am a wife and a mommy. I am in absolute love with my boys. I am proud of where I am in life right now. Granted, life is still a work in progress; however, this journey is full of love and endless belly laughs.
Please do not be fooled, life has not always been that way. I have certainly had my ups and downs. I know what it is to live paycheck to paycheck or to "rob Peter to pay Paul." There have been moments where life has been down right hard not only for myself, but for my family as well. Five years ago, I made a drastic career change. I left my cushiony corporate job to consult for a small business as their Estimator and Office Director. I actually work directly with my family, which has good and bad moments (mostly all good - haha). When I made that change, it was so tough. To go from a consistent check to working primarily off of commission was stressful. You know, it takes time. You really do have to plant a garden. As you tend to your garden it will grow. It does not happen over night, but it does happen. You truly have to become patient and WOW, that is really hard.
Well, nothing worth having comes easy. Although it was difficult, I some how managed to stay on my path. There were a lot of sacrifices. There were plenty of strapped wallets. There were a lot of sleepless nights. However, two years into being self employed, I was able to double my corporate income. It was pretty incredible because it just would have never happened in my corporate job. Every year, we were receiving less than 5% pay increases, so it just was not even possible. The best part is each year, my income grows.
Since crossing over into the world of self employment, I have the opportunity to continue my growth. I realize that I am capable of more than I ever thought I was. I have discovered so many non traditional ways to provide for my family, and it has been life changing for us. I realize that there are so many other mommys working behind a desk in Corporate America struggling to contribute to their family. They are over worked and under paid. I know what it is like. I am so happy I took a leap of faith and found a better way.
So, I ask you..."Have you ever thought that there could be a better way?" "Have you ever thought that you could be doing more with your life?" Well, if so, I want to work with you. I will be opening up my next 21 Day Boot Camp on June , 2016, and I am only taking 10 women. Over these 21 days, we are going to focus on creating the best version of ourselves. Plus, I am going to teach you how to bring in an extra $500 or more each month simply by helping others.
All I can do is invite you. It is up to you to reach out and take action. Please email me at julesjonesrandf@gmail.com and lets get you going.
