What can you accomplish in 5 short years?

In the summer of 2009 I was a very fortunate mother of 2 beautiful children.  We scrapped together enough money to enjoy a family vacation at a cottage and most likely we used a visa to pay for it, because this was often the only way we could vacation - put it on a card and pay for it later.  Can you relate?

I was a teacher, an elementary school teacher, but the kicker was I had been a qualified teacher already for 7 years by 2009 and still had not "landed" that full time position I so longed for.  Like many graduates, I had to work in temporary positions within my teaching career and also outside the area of teaching to just "get whatever I could".

I may be smiling here in this photo and don't get me wrong, I was happy, much of the time. But a huge chunk of my days and nights I sat with regret, I had fear about how we would be able to provide for our children and I was always worried about the day that I would have to be forced back to work doing something quite possibly for minimum wage if I couldn't find anything I was qualified for.  In reality as I look back to my diary, I was in a dark place asking for an answer.

My life changed in 2009.  I was not working because I had my 2nd little miracle but because my 1st and 2nd pregnancies were so close and work prospects were far and few, I was off on a leave "without pay", no government assistance...so the stresses rose to new heights and it started to create stress and frustration on our marriage and consequently even though we may not admit it, our children can feel our stress too.

I said yes to a friend when she offered me an opportunity to feel better.  I was only open because I trusted her recommendation - but it still took me a few months to say yes.  She told me about a business opportunity but I was closed, I was too tired to think about trying another "business".  But the key component is that she planted a seed.  I started on the products she recommended after I took them to my doctor and naturopath at the time, because I wanted to be sure that whatever it was that it would be safe for my nursing baby.  When I got the go ahead, I began my new journey.

Oh the changes I went through. Most amazing transformation may not even be the health changes, but the fact that I found "ME" again.  The Tara I didn't even remember existed.  I cry while I type this to remember that feeling I had in September of 2009.  The key was that I made a DECISION, a DECISION that my family and I deserved so much better than living in survival mode, and they deserved to have a mother that was positive, passionate about life and a mother that was living a life on purpose.

As I fast forward in my journey, I don't tell you this to impress you, but I do share this because I know what is possible when you put the recipe together for your own life!  Back in 2009 I was struggling in most areas of my life, health, relationships, wealth or lack of and much more.  Not saying that money changes everything, because we know it doesn't, but I believe money does help people become more of what they already are.  So if a person is greedy, that person becomes more greedy.  If a person is generous by nature, money helps them to be more generous.  Get what I mean?  

Well here we are not quite 5 years from the day I made that decision to get out of my own way, and in June of 2014 I earned over $20,000.  Like I said I do not share that to impress you, but I do want to plant that seed of what is truly possible for you.  

If you want more choices, if you are struggling, if you can't figure out what you want to do but you have a burning desire to impact the lives of others...we should connect.  Desperation to succeed will not work...but a desire and a drive to find your purpose in life and to genuinely help others - that is what is required.  Greed will not get you to this place, but generosity will!

I am grateful that I said yes 5 years ago and now I am blessed to continue helping people like you who are asking for more...more choices, more freedom, more time, more health, more wealth.  

Your life is waiting, don't waste another minute!
