Happy life

I haven't posted pretty much all month. No reason why, just haven't felt up to it. I am still enjoying being home with Lily and Kynslie at night, and working my business all day. I am really happy. I can't actually remember the last time I have said I was happy. I have always worked out of the home, next week on Monday would have been my 6 year anniversary with Payless. It took me 6 months to step back in to one of the stores I used to work in. I don't miss it, at all. I don't miss being yelled at for things i had no control over. I don't miss having to deal with customers who hated me for not giving them what they wanted because the company didn't send us enough. I don't miss having to make sure my employees worked enough to cover what they needed. I don't miss working over 60 hours a week plus a 2 hour travel time every day from home. I don't miss not being able to cooking dinner and spend time with Kynslie after school. I feel like a real mom. Many people don;t understand what I went through at my job. From being yelled at for things I couldn't control by my boss AND employees AND customers to being harassed for being pregnant. I wasn't allowed days off for months at a time. I worked sick all the time. I literally nearly worked myself to death for no reason. i was written up for going to my daughter birthday party. I wasn't making overtime when i was working over 40 hours a week. If i sat down and added it all up, the company would probably owe me at least a thousand dollars just in overtime i wasn't paid, thanks to my lovely boss. I over worked myself. For 5 and a half years I worked myself to the bone. I thought that was the only way to survive. I didn't know there was a way to be able to stay home and being a mom and make real money. I honestly thought the only way to be a stay at home mom was to marry rich. I couldn't see myself ever doing that, that's not my lifestyle. That's not me. I still hate myself for working 5 and and a half years of Kynslie's childhood away. I didn't realized how much i missed out on her life. Those are years I will never get back, and that makes me sick. Kudos to the parents who work out of the home. I plan on going to college this fall. I plan on getting my college degree. I quit college to work more when my mom was sick so that I could help take care of her. Do i regret that? Heck no! I spent the last few months of my mom's life with her instead of with my nose buried in books. I have no clue what to I want to do though! Business? Teaching? I have no clue!

The whole point of this post is to say I spent $35 on a business opportunity last year. I didn't really do it to earn money, i did it because i am cheap and refused to pay retail for products that work amazingly for me. I didn't start to become a stay at home mom, that never ever crossed my mind before hand. I didn't start to lose weight, i started to get help with my acid reflux. I started to get healthy for my daughter after they found an ulcer in the exact same place where my moms cancer was. The business part fell in my lap. I am very fortunate that i have an income that i get to make from the comfort of my recliner. I have a job that i don't have to get up and go in to every single day, I get promoted for working hard. I get paid for my efforts. I basically get to write my own checks. I don't have to worry about scheduling my life around a work schedule. I actually get to put my family first! I am so thankful for Plexus. I am thankful i decided my health was worth the $35 investment. It has honestly changed my life. I get to be happy. I get to be a mom. I get to actually go to Kynslie's class functions. I get to live my dreams. I get to inspire my kids. I get to show them that there is a way to make money besides working their life away in an office for a company that really doesn't care about them. I am no longer just an employee. I am changing people's lives every single day. I am happy. I get take my boyfriend on a vacation to Arizona this June. I have never been, but its going to be a blast. I get to do things i would have never been able to do. I get to live my life unchained to an idea that the only way to be successful is to be in a office working to pay for the house and car you spend no time in.

I love the fact that i am writing this blog post while watching my almost 3 month old baby play on the floor. I am very thankful that i chose a company who pays me well enough to enjoy my babies again. My life isn't simple, don't get me wrong. I still have trails and troubles i deal with every day, but i am a happy person on the inside and out. I am helping others get healthy and finding that healthiness is one of the keys to happiness.

If you hate your job, lets talk. I may be able to help you get to where you want to be. No promises, but the only thing you have to lose is $35 and well, thats basically going out to dinner one night. Not losing much! My webiste is www.plexusbymegan.com.


Disclaimer
I'm not saying that everyone will be able to stay home if they are working for a mlm company. Please do not take it that way. I am also not bashing Payless for my work experience there. I am grateful for the experience i gained, it will look amazing on my resume if i ever decide to go back to work. I am just stating my personal experiences.

Skeptics

I will be the first one to say that my family, while most of then support me, one particular person does not. He does believe in me. He does not believe in network marketing. He is my boyfriend, and his opinion matters the most to me.

I watch him rolls his eyes at me when I talk about my business. I watch his get frustrated with me because I start "working" and zone out and neglect my chores. I offer him products which he politely turns down. I get glares when it is "us" time and i check my phone really quick. Some time i allow my business to be number 1 in my life, and he gets upset. I know it is hard to balance life and work, and i am trying very hard. I know he believes in me, just not network marketing.

When I was pregnant, he would make sure I took my Plexus products. He would wake me up at night if i forgot to take my ProBio5. He would bring me Plexus Slim made up for me with ice in it after i woke up. He was the first person to notice I was graze eating when my preggo brain took over and I managed to skip my slim that morning. I know he loves me enough to help me be the best me i can be.

Once upon a time last year, he was taking products with me. I am not 100% sure what happened, but he stopped and wont take them anymore. I saw the results in him, so i know they were working, but he just gave up and wont try again. Yes, my feelings are hurt, but its OK. I know one day he will try again, I wont give up on him.

How do I deal with someone so close to me being so skeptical?
I know he has been burnt by network marketing before. Many people have. He sees my paychecks, He sees my business growing. But yet he is skeptical. So I pray. I pray that God will allow him to see what I see, unlimited potential. I pray that one day I will be so successful that I can retire him. I trust in God. Those are the ways I deal with skepticism. I do get upset, do not get me wrong. It has been a battle the past few months as i try to get my business back to where it was before.

So, Mister Roses, that's his name in my phone, has now because Mister Skeptic. And Mister Skeptic has decided he wants to go to Plexus Convention with me in June.
1) pray for him, he has never been on a road trip with me and its a 17 hour drive.
2) he wont be a skeptic anymore
3) we will soon be a Plexus power couple.

Yes I know I sound crazy, but it is true. I believe in us. I believe in this business, I believe in these products. Better yet, I believe in me. No one can bring me down. Some days I do struggle with him being a skeptic and i allow it to hurt my feelings. But I stop and pray. Because i know this is where God wants me to be. I have other skeptics in my life and i do not allow them to bother me, I brush their uneducated comments off and block them from my life. In with the uplifting and out with negativity. I am very proud of myself and the fact that i can make my business work when the closest person to me does not believe in network marketing. It is not easy at all, and i stand up strong every single day.


Mister Roses, when you read this, know that I love you with all of my heart, and this is not an attack on you. I am just informing the world that skeptics can be found everywhere, even in your closest circle. I have not given up, and i never will.
