So here's how I FINALLY settled into life on land without having to join the rat race:
I actually now have a global business (which I'll share with you how I did that in just a moment)...
...and it's almost unbelievable to look at that now, knowing where I was just a few short months ago.
A few months ago, truthfully, I was worried, anxious and frustrated i had come home after 6 years of working at sea to finally settle down and spend time with my loved ones…
...the cruise ship life had given me travel, a fantastic income and a work ethic only other crew members would understand. I had, two properties, a car and a lifestyle that I did not want to compromise but now what was I going to do? that chapter of my life had come to an end…
...and honestly, I had no idea what I was going to do next.
All these crazy thoughts started running through my mind like:
"Maybe this is it, maybe that's just how everyone should live."
"...or maybe I should just live at home with my parents forever..."
"...or maybe I should just give up on my dreams, like everyone else wants me to, and settle for less."
At this point, I had already been struggling in my business that HAD to work.
I was a normal yet ambitious 16 year old kid, and at the time, it looked like I would go down the normal path of hair and beauty, just like so many other girls of that age…
...and then one day, the cruise ship world was introduced to me
"Travel the world, Make lots of money and meet new and exciting people from all over the world."
At that moment, I knew I was hooked.
At 21 I joined the cruise ship world and for 6 years I worked away from home, my friends, my family and any chance of settling down.
I worked hard, long hours and often many extra hours, traveling and living life out of a suitcase and although i loved it…
...and I remember getting to the point when I looked at myself in the mirror and saying, "This will NOT be my life forever, i need to go back to the real world."
So I hopped online looking for a better way.
Fast forward a little while, and the "better way" had almost gotten the best of me.
I remember constantly feeling so frustrated because I'd be on the phone or online for hours and hours, trying to find a job within health and wellness that paid more than minimum wage, which I knew that I could not survive on.
After MONTHS of trying to make my dreams happen, I was still making no money, still unhappy, and still scared looking towards the future…
...and in the midst of all this, my sister and a huge mentor of mine said that she had something I must take a look at, and it had the power to solve all my problems.
"Yeah right" <== I said to myself.
But when you're as desperate as I was to stay at home and not return to ship life, you open your eyes to just about A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G that could work.
Well, all I can tell you right now is: IT WORKED…
...and because of that info, I went struggling to see how I could live my life without making serious cuts and sacrifices, to making a full time income my way from my own home with my friends and family. A life that is quickly becoming the lifestyle of my dreams!
Because here’s what she taught me:
It taught me how to create my very own business in the health and wellness industry and grow that into a FLEXIBLE and UNCAPPED EARNING And these simple, little ads, combined with the help and support I received changed everything for me.
Because for the first time in my life, all of a sudden, I had CONTROL. I had time, time that I chose how was spent, flexibility, a chance to be my own boss and create the lifestyle that I wanted for me and my family.
In fact:
#1: Over the past 7 months or so, I’ve been able to generate financial freedom & decide when and where to work…
#2: Not only that - but I've been able to create a healthier life style for myself and those around me, with less stress, more time and the ability to have those extras society says we cant or shouldn't be able to afford.
#3: I then taught these strategies to a few of my friends and colleagues, and shared with them the secret component that every successful company must have if you want to succeed in the future.
That being said - I’m about to do a BRAND NEW training to walk you through the exact process I’ve used to generate not only a cruise ship wage on land but the lifestyle of my dreams.
I’m even going to take you behind the scenes of some of my business tips, so that you can see how to start getting amazing results right away. Sound good?
The training is free and you can register for it now. Here:
