Hi! I'm Jackie Ulmer and happy to be connecting with you.
I'm a mom, wife, friend, wanna-be chef and a home business owner. I am married to Mark, the drummer over at BackTraxx here at MySpace. He's a rock-star, but also a pilot to pay the bills!
We have a wonderful life, living in Lake Arrowhead, California with our two children. We enjoy boating, eating (thus, the wanna-ba chef part), great friends, music and just enjoying life. Life is short, after all, so making the most of everyday is important to me.
I have a healthy dinner recipe page on Squidoo, if you also love to eat and are looking for some new ideas that are not difficult.

I grew up in beautiful Durango, Colorado and am still proud to call that my home town. I loved living there, and sometimes long to go back. If you are ever looking for a fun vacation spot, give it a look!
I love Candles; music; poetry; firelit dinners and concerts.
When I started in Corporate America, I loved it. The challenge; getting dressed up every day; decorating my cubicle; etc. That lasted only for a short while.
Pretty soon, I felt overwhelmed with the challenges of never being able to please everyone; I felt strangled by my pantyhose (ladies, can you relate?); and stifled by my cubicle. Where was the FUN in life?
My dad was an entrepreneur, and owned his own business. I wanted to have the freedom that went along with that. So, I started researching and exploring!
I began my journey working from home in January, 1994, and "we've come a long way baby." I originally pursued a home business so I would not have to put my kids in daycare. After all, it's tough to make it on one income.I had an amazing career in airline marketing and had the opportunity to travel the world and learn about different cultures and taste all types of food. Maybe that is why I love cooking so much now! It mostly has to do with loving to EAT!
Through my association in the airline industry and then marrying a pilot, we've lived in a lot of different places. I've enjoyed moving around, but always starting over in some form of my career became difficult. That, and the decision to have children really forced me into looking at becoming more entrepreneurial.
It shouldn't have been difficult. My dad owned his own business and was always "there" for us as kids; at sporting or school events; and home for lunch in the summer.
I soon found that I really enjoyed working at home , in my own environment; working in my PJs, my workout clothes, or whatever; kids with me, etc. I soon realized that I was fast becoming un-employable. Once you have a taste of freedom, it's hard to not have an attitude about a boss making demands of your time.
Who wants a JOB and a Boss when you can have a Virtual Business that runs anywhere there is Internet access? That runs even when you are sleeping? After all, I wanted more than just a paycheck, don't you?
I wanted teamwork; to associate with like-minded people; and, more than anything, I wanted to decide what I was worth in terms of a paycheck.
Well, it wasn't always easy, but it has always been worth it. Today, I have both time and financial freedom, and my real passion is working with and coaching others who have this desire on how to create the same thing.

It’s never been easier or more affordable to start a business of your own. The Internet has opened more doors than we might have ever imagined possible. Not to make it sound tooeasy, because it isn't, contrary to what some people want you to think.
It takes dedication and rolling up your sleeves, but the knowledge of knowing that you accomplished a business success story that is all your own is amazing.
Imagine starting a business with $50; your imagination and your network of friends and relationships. It’s being done every day by people like me and you.
Freedom of lifestyle and the income to support it are both being created through Internet and Network Marketing
And this is not your father’s Network Marketing.
This isn’t “make a list of everyone you know and hound them to death.â€
This is the finest in attraction marketing, a concept I love and embrace, especially online.
I was not a fast starter in the home based, network marketing world. But I was committed to success and personal growth so I dug in and educated myself. I listened to lots of CDs and conference calls; read lots of books and attended seminars when I could. Today, that commitment has paid off and I am grateful everyday.
Here is what I was looking for in the beginning -
• Flexibility – no more 9 to 5, or boss
• Working with people
• Ability to create more than a hobby income
• Spend time with my children and NOT have them in daycare
Guess what?
I haven’t had a boss in over 15 years; I created the six figure income; I have fun building teams with amazing people; and my kids have never spent one day in day care!
I achieved all of that and more. And, along the way, I have coached and mentored others to do the same.
I would love to network with you and find out more about you!
