Introductions

Hi there, as you have seen my name is Andi Joe. Yes it truly is as country as it sounds. I was born and raised in the country, I have lived in the same town my entire life. I went to the same school from Pre-K to my senior year. Its not a stretch to say that I have lead a simple life, not that I am complaining.
The last few years have been a learning experience for me. I married a man that was raised seven hours away from where I live, so I now balance long weekend trips to visit his family. Before him I traveled once a year to Mexico and that was it. Now we are constantly on the go. We now have two children that are very active in athletics and other programs. We are constantly going here and there for football, basketball, baseball, t-ball, and other events. Now, between all of that my spouse and I hold down full time jobs in the same industry......at the same company.....in the same building.......within five feet of each other. Yes it is as difficult as it sounds but we are strong and we work with it.
 Now, my present, is changing. I have decided to change my future, I refuse to live that restricted life that I see others falling into. I have decided to start my own business and make money my way. I want to have that flexible lifestyle. I want to be able to spend more time with my kids. I want to spend more time with my family. Now the kicker, do you know what has been holding me back this long? Myself. I did this to myself. I have had several options presented to me where I could change my life and I was to scared. I was scared to fail at something new. I was scared no one would support me. I was scared I would put my family in a situation that would hurt us more than help us. I'M STOPPING THAT NOW. I have seen for years how people jump on band wagons to change their lives. They start selling a product that they don't know much about and get others to buy into it. I decided that wasn't for me a long time ago. But I was recently presented with an opportunity that I just couldn't turn down. A company that I knew about, a company I had been exposed to several times, a company that has been around longer than I have been alive. I knew the products, I knew the packaging and I knew the basics. I never looked at it as a business opportunity before, I only seen it as something to give bored housewives to do, as horrible as that makes me sound. It wasn't until this last August that I seen the business side of this company. It was like this huge locked iron door was opened in front of my face. This barrier in my mind that I kept up so I would not try something new, so I wouldn't get hurt, so I could not let anyone say that I failed at something. Once that iron door swung open there was no shutting it! I knew I could not turn away, I knew that I could do this, this was going to be my ticket out of the confined jail cell of '8am to 5pm'. So I signed up. No turning back.
 So. why am I starting this blog? Easy, I want to document my exciting journey and help others in their journey. I will post about what is going on in my day-to-day, information about my new business, and even more personal subjects. I am excited to start this new journey!

 Hold on, here we go!
