Well Now

I am a teacher, artist and mum-prenuer
That's the new word for savvy work-from-home moms!
The reason I created this MySpace page is because I’m always looking to network and share experiences with positive, ambitious people. The kind of people on a journey of personal growth who want to make a difference.
I have a special video I'd love to share with you but first....
Let me tell you about myself…
My life revolves around my home and awesome family but I also love to travel. My son, Mijo, and I recently enjoyed a trip to Italy and Croatia. It actually snowed while we were in Venice – magical.
Mijo had the honour of being the youngest of five New Zealand torchbearers for the Winter Olympics in Italy and I was the proud mum. We got to stay in an amazing 5 star hotel right on the Grand Canal in Venice and ate at awesome restaurants. If you ever visit Italy try the peach champagne! After our time in Venice and Rome it was off to Croatia.
Croatia holds special significance for me as it is the birthplace my maternal grandparents. I travelled to Croatia 25 years ago and met my great aunts, uncles and cousins. I was the first descendent to go back to Croatia so you can imagine the warm welcome I received. It was no different this time. I loved being able to return to and show Mijo the houses his great grandparents were born in on the rocky slopes of the breathtakingly beautiful Dalmation coast. Although it was midwinter and bitterly cold (imagine a frozen waterfall!!) it was still breathtaking. Making some new friends while there was also a highlight of our trip.
But let’s go back a bit.....
When I left school I trained as a primary school teacher. I quickly discovered the job was taking over my life. In fact what life? Class sizes were too big and I felt frustrated knowing the children deserved more individual time and attention than I could give. Life was too short - I decided I wanted to try a more creative path. So at age 27 I moved to the opposite end of the country to go to Art School and learn the art of pottery. I wasn’t even the oldest in the class so that was a relief!
Art school introduced me not only to pottery but also to my soul mate. I married one of the tutors!!
Before the birth of our first son, Mijo, we moved back "up north" to be closer to family. We had bought an old school a year earlier and set about the massive task of making it into our home and studio. The fact it had no running water or electricity minor details. This task proved to be rather a drawn out process as we were determined to do everything ourselves – we demolished; we built, planted acres of trees, established a large blue and white garden and had two more sons. Jesse and Mate were both born at home making our old school an even more special place.
With a lot of hard work we established a successful pottery and sculpture studio exhibiting work throughout the country.
Tragedy Strikes....
But a few months after Mate’s birth my husband was killed in a car crash on his way to work one morning. As you can imagine this was a devastating time. Life became a matter of surviving one day at a time. I no longer had the time or the inclination for my artwork. All my energy went into my children and my garden. In fact working in my garden kept me sane.
Thanks to reasonably generous accident compensation I was able to stay at home and concentrate on bringing up my boys. I got very involved with their schools doing parent help in the classroom and working on fundraising committees. I also managed their various hockey teams. Those skills learnt while teaching were coming in handy.
When my eldest son, Mijo, left home to study and needed his income I had to take a serious look at increasing my income. I didn’t want to drop our standard of living or be unable to pay the bills. We lived in the country so had to travel daily to get the boys to school but emotionally I wasn’t ready to leave a house full of memories and move closer to town.
So, how to live in the country, have time with my children and increase my income? I started reading everything I could get my hands on – newspapers, magazines looking for options.
Wanted…a job with flexible hours, time off to go to hockey tournaments, that was stimulating and paid well.
Yeah right. I soon realised a traditional job was not for me - I felt there had to be a better way than trading my hours (that I needed to spend with my children) for dollars.
The Ahhh moment……
All that changed when I was invited to a business opportunity presentation. I went along with an open mind and I’m glad I did. The man in front of the room (now my friend and mentor) used terms like "extra streams of income", "financial freedom" and talked about "living the life of your dreams". I had never heard of Network Marketing or the Wellness Industry. He told me about a way to make money working from home around my family commitments, that I could have unlimited earning potential and improve my family’s health at the same time.
It was definitely a different way at looking at things and once I understood the concept of Network Marketing and the power of a passive residual income I was hooked!
I did my due diligence and checked out the Company , their products and their compensation plan. It was very liberating to know I could have more control over my financial future. I'm not the type to just sit back and leave my future in the hands of others. I like being in control.
Now this is where it got really good….....
I found that the company is the leader in the Wellness Industry setting the Gold Standard for the manufacture of nutritional products. Not only was I making extra income as I set out to do but my family’s health was benefiting. The results were amazing. And the founder of the company turned out to be a truly inspirational humanitarian. I have had the honour of meeting him personally and feel privileged to be a part of his vision.
That was 3 years ago. I feel truly blessed to be able to work from home as an entrepreneur and still be a fulltime mum. Today I am building my business globally online. My income potential is unlimited and I get to work when and where I want.
THE company is in a huge growth mode with it's products and income generating business programme. The Company continues to receive world class accolades and testimonials from professional organisations, athletes and individuals in every country we are involved.
