Heyyy..... Welcome to my site. Isn't it fun meeting someone new? I love it!

I love finding out their story, understanding what makes them tick, learning about their passions.

When I meet new business owners I ALWAYS want to hear about what they're doing to fulfill their need for an income (like we all have) and to fill their heart to the brim with excitement and passion!

A little on me and why this site exists:
I'm a mom of two, Hayden (19) and Ella (7). I started my first business when Hayden was four months old. I wrote my first HTML code in 1999 and built a website for fun! In 2002 when Hayden was born I took those hobby-skills of writing a simple website and I turned it into an online business.

I've sold TONS of things online - bath & body products, candles, makeup, digital products, services, coaching and more. I use my experience to help others succeed and I'd love to help you, too!

Oh and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the beach and am so grateful to live less than 10 mins from Lake Ontario.

I've been quiet for too many days! I really try to be much more consistent in here!

My stories will tell you why the last couple of days and before that my son was here from college and then I had to do my taxes.

I got overwhelmed.

Today at I did my story I almost told my daughter not to talk while I recorded something but then I thought, naw! It was a story and what mom talks to other moms without kids noise in the background? Lol!

Let's not put off what we can do now just because our kids are around. Anyway, check out my stories while still there because I have some awesome hair, too 😁🤣😉

I was asked in my training meeting today how I managed to work so little yet still keep money rolling in while my daughter was an itty bitty one. Here's how I did that!

Started up the daily habit of watercolor again. I'm going to do the #100daychallenge to make this a 100 day practice (yesterday was day 2).

I'm interested in acrylics and also oil pastels, too, but I want to stay at each one long enough to build some skill. Then I'll try the others and see where I land.

I find watercolor relaxing because it takes me out of fear, worry and anxiety which have been popping up a lot more often for me lately.

I'm not trying to be an artist, I just want something to take my mind if business and something the express a different kind of creativity.

Watercolor is so easy, it's so forgiving because you can't control it so it's not expected to look perfect (at least in my opinion). I love the whimsical style so that's what I'm trying to develop. I've found so many awesome posts on here if watercolor for inspiration (google images didn't bring up much). I love how quickly I can get painting, too. I leave the brushes in water on the counter, grab my watercolor paper notebook and the paints and just paint. I'm going to buy a smaller portable set soon from Amazon, too.

What do you do to take yourself out of business mode?

Just a little over a year ago this product arrived

Just a little over a year ago this product arrived at my doorstep after a few YEARS of wishing I could buy it.

This post isn't about the Tower Garden but I'm happy to tell you more if you like (DM me).

This post is about the amazing ripple effect of our decisions and how being open to new experiences can change your life.

As I just posted on my recent reel I'm not a veggie lover but I'm trying SO HARD. I bought the tower purely because I wanted an EASY way to eat my veggies. I thought this might be it (it was /is!).

But to my point... I didn't know that the Tower Garden was sold by Juice Plus . I was ready to buy so I asked if there were ever sales. I was told no, but I could get 10% back by becoming a partner for $52. Since I was about to drop over $1000 (paid monthly) it seemed like a smart thing to do!

At the time I was not happy in my business.

Fast forward to now.

I have taken that opportunity I didn't know existed and now have pivoted my business if fifteen years into something unexpected!

I'm now the leader of my own growing team AND the owner of two amazing direct sales websites.

And I'm so excited!

Business had been so boring to me for years. I had no new inputs. I needed a new challenge.

Now I have so many things I can work on!

And all because I bought a Tower Garden.

You never know where things are going to lead... Be open to possibilities and see what happens!

Happy Earth Day!

Art by my seven year old and quote she asked me to write in fancy writing.

Hubby told me yesterday a work training he's taking said a key to avoiding stress is to turn OFF at work stop time and DO NOT THINK ABOUT WORK.

For us entrepreneur types that's hard but I do find when I do watercolor my brain shuts off on the business stuff and turns on the creative and colour.

I used to practice every day and I'm trying to get back to that. About to do one now so that's a start!

What do you do to shut off your business brain?

By the way the reason we SHOULD do this is because our brains need a break and will work much better when it comes back refreshed, or so I hear 😉😁

I'm smoke free almost 40 years now 🤣🤣🤣

Wine I don't touch either, or very rarely.

This picture is just a joke, of course, but the lack of knowledge or concern about health and wellness in the 80's, when I grew up, was not.

We had pop and chips and chocolate whenever we wanted.

I guzzled white cows milk by the litre (the thought of drinking it now makes me 🤢).

Meat and potatoes and pasta were staple meals.

I'm working on it.
I'm trying to overcome.
I'm trying not to stress eat.

All I can say to you about this is that you can't fail is you don't stop trying.

I said to my brother I will try to be healthier until the day I die.

Giving up is NOT an option for me.

And I guess the question comes up that isn't it better to just enjoy life than obsess about health?

Possibly.

I don't want to obsess.
I want to ENJOY.

I don't want to deny.
I want to have plentiful GOODNESS.

I don't want to restrict.
I want freedom to DEPROGRAM.

Our brains are like a supercomputer. I'm working on the reprogramming and honestly challenges are what drive me. I love a new thing to achieve and I work day my day to crush my goals.

How can we help each other so the same? I'd love your thoughts!

And Happy Birthday to my mom, Kathy, too! You never know how much your parents gave really done for you until you're a parent, too. ❤️❤️❤️

Happy 19th Birthday to my favourite son @mister_haybale ! So proud of the confident, determined and independent young man you've become. Love mom ❤️❤️❤️🎁🎁🎁🎁

p.s. Why didn't anyone tell me this birthday was a hard one!? Last year a teenager, in college, gone most of the pandemic. It's all just hit me now. My little boy is grown up. 💔

Our provincial government closed the parks two day

Our provincial government closed the parks two days ago, then reversed that decision yesterday... Thank goodness!

Our kids need to move, be outside, have some sense of normalcy.

We got to the park today and it was so great to see kids playing and being kids.

It's been a trying time for everyone but our kids need our support right now.

I'm soooo grateful that I built a business that gives me the income and time freedom to be that support system for my kids.

Shout out to @starbucks_nichol for the nice message today, too!

How are you doing? How are the kids doing? How can we support you?

These are questions in asking you but also asking you to ask others because the simple act of checking in on your mom friends right now could mean so much to them.

Virtual hugs!
❤️ Angela

Don't expect to get PayPal notices or commission payments on repeat if you are not constantly and continually making offers!

I have something to help, it's called The Power of FREE and you can find it at https://promotingdirectsales.com/power-of-free

It's on launch pricing today for $25 them goes up to $55.

Teaches you how to make free offers all over the Internet that lead to sales 😉. That way you don't always need to be shouting "buy my stuff!" which doesn't work anyway 😁

Have you heard that the sales happen in the DM's on Instagram and social?

Were you taught to strike up a conversation?

It's tricky.

You can't come at someone with an agenda to make 'friends' with them when you are thinking about the sale.

You won't ask the same relationship building questions you would if you were looking to build a true connection and start a real relationship.

I have true friends I met back in 2005 or earlier and when at met we weren't trying to get the sale, we were trying to connect.

And now over fifteen years later I've made money with my friends in more ways than I can count!

Look at the long game when reaching out in the DM. Don't burn through the people you could celebrate with at so many stages of business growth along the way!

❤️ Angela

Like I could live here.

Saw this guy putting up a hammock at the beach and was majorly jealous!

Imagine reading a book there?

On my mind this week is creating automations and passive income in my life and this pic seems so appropriate for that!

I've got the time freedom but now I'm looking for the security of income streams that really work for me.

One stream includes building an amazing team of go getters who want to help others get healthier!

Another is affiliate marketing.
And a third is looking into investing.

Do you love the idea of passive income?
Is it a dream? A reality?

Anything is possible and what you focus on grow!

❤️❤️
