My New Business

Hey there!

I know I've been kind of quiet the last couple months and I have so much to catch y'all up on! But this post is just one of those things.

Back at the beginning of June I started my own Rodan and Fields franchise!

I know, trust me.  You? Selling skincare?  Yeah, I get it.  But my reason is simple:

I work an hour from home.  So, I get up each morning and while Wiggle wants to play, I get ready for work. Then I try to rush out the door to get ahead of the traffic.  And then I work all day and wonder what Wiggle is doing. Then I rush home in the hopes that he isn't too tired and I can play with him for maybe an hour before dinner and bedtime routine.  And he rushes over when I get home and he's so happy to see me and he usually wants to just nurse to be close to me. Oh, and during the day he says, "Iwanmama!"

It sucks. 

And I don't want to do it anymore.

Back when I was pregnant, my friend Sarah introduced me to Rodan and Fields, founded by the same doctors that started ProActiv. She helped me with stupid pregnancy acne. And then when that was under control, she started introducing me to their anti-aging line. The products are awesome!

And at some point I mentioned how much I hate working and she said to join her. And I was like, "me? Successful professional woman with guaranteed income? No, that's okay, keep your franchise." 

But we've been friends for *mumble, mumble* years and I kept watching on Facebook. I really watched that she's a single mom to two amazing boys and this business allows her to be home with them.

And she mentioned to me that ProActiv is a global, multi-billion dollar business. And Rodan and Fields is one of the fastest growing business and it was only in the United States.

Except that this year, Rodan and Fields is going global, starting in Canada. 

Oh, and there is a new, revolutionary product being launched in September.

And I thought, "Am I letting a huge opportunity go by?"

So, in June I decided to stop wondering and start trying. 

So, here is my big business launch in this space! Don't worry, there will still be tons of knitting because I still need some kind of creative outlet! But I'll occasionally share my business stuff here.

Here are some of our amazing products!

Or, know anyone in Canada that wants to start their own business? This is a business built on referrals.  If you know anyone, please send them my way!

Thank you for sharing this journey with me! I can't wait to spend more time with Wiggle as this business gives me flexibility to be with him.

And I promise there will be more knitting next time.

Until then, look at Wiggle's new ball!
