Jaclyn’s Story…

How I Became An Empowered Entrepreneur

I became a very young mother at the age of 14 yrs old. Now at the age of 32 I have my second child. During my first pregnancy I made the decision to go through home school rather than be in school and away from my baby.
Fortunately I graduated on time and I was so proud of myself.

The responsibility of raising a baby as a single mother at a young age enabled
me to be the individual I am today – determined, strong-minded, unbreakable
and optimistic. I never was in any trouble and didn’t care to hang out at
clubs where most of the people my age where at during happy hour and beyond.
It wasn’t the partying or material things that were lacking in my life. Something
else was missing, which made me feel so incomplete.

I graduated from college with the help of financial aid (thank goodness for federal
aid monies) and realized that education was a means of enrichment…of the mind
and of the soul. That’s exactly what it did for me. Deciding to fill my
brain with knowledge was one of the best decisions of my life. I graduated
cum laude and once again proved to myself that I could do anything if
I chose to. None of the excuses such as, “I’m gonna wait ’til my baby gets older to
attend college” crap, because if you really want something you WILL find a way to
get it. In this I mean…I learned there was financial aid…thus, no excuses hands down!

And that’s what I’ve learned. That anything IS possible if you look hard and you’re
determined, persistent, and consistent at it. No ands, ifs, or buts!

You’re considered lucky where I’m from (in Guam) if you land a job in the exact
field you specialized in so i considered myself pretty lucky that I didn’t have a
hard time landing a full time job with an okay pay after college. Heck, it was a
plus that it was a job that was IN my field. However, because I believe that
when you have a child to care for you should be there for them (I mean REALLY
be their FIRST teacher) I decided that I didn’t want to place my child
in a daycare.

So my decision was made without having to think twice. “I’m quitting
my full-time job to stay home and care for Jeremy.” By the way, there
were so many people who looked down on me for making that decision
(making comments not worth mentioning here). They had ideas in their head that
I was basically plain ‘ol lazy and that my decision to stay home was just an excuse
for not working.

…Hmmm, would you say that having the responsibility to care for a baby, and a
teenager, plus everything in between that goes with your family (body, mind, and
soul) and taking care of an entire house is anything but? Needless to say, none of
the nastiness I heard (or read on their faces) from other people mattered to me.
So, onward I walked. It felt really good to be able to stay home with my family
and be there for them whenever they needed me. But I wanted something
more than house duties and motherhood exclusively. I knew that there
was something lacking yet again. That would be enrichment.

At that point in time my son turned one year old and that’s when I began searching
on the internet for something to take up. It was so easy to find things to do at home
via the world wide web and as a matter of fact I found LOTS of work at home jobs.
I came across strange, funny, unrealistic, and promising ones. It was pure
hunting for a 2 whole months but then I finally found something that matched me.
Of course that would be the company I joined and still am in today.

The thing that I’m proud of is that no one recruited me. I found a classified
advertisement in a Parent’s magazine and went online for more info…the rest is
history. I did the usual friends/family/3-foot stranger thingy…exhausted
my list just two months afterward. I had a very long list btw…or so my
up-line considered it to be. For months after that I did the weirdest things. Let me
share with you two specific examples: Going on lunches with strangers and happy
hours with acquaintances. Need I say that I crossed my fingers and toes hoping
I get them to join me. By the way I paid for the lunches and happy hour drinks…
and in the end I didn’t get them to join me.

An even more specific illustration of how I tried sooo hard to succeed at what I
was doing in my business was to add to my list by “relationshipping” with EVERYONE!
I’m talking about strangers at the grocery store, at social events, the waitress at
dinner, with tourists (yes I approached several tourists), with
people in the restroom, parking lot, lining up at the bank, people I encounter in
restaurants, and yes even on airplanes during travel. You name it I tried
it. Not to mention money spent on many local advertisements…without
say, ridiculous and unreasonably priced for one day.  But because I am
self-motivated I didn’t give up.

I searched and searched and ten months after joining my company I found
Angelito Felix. He’s awesome! Well obviously…b/c he learned from the best
of the best!…Enter: Jonathan Budd and Mark Hoverson. Both are my
coaches. They showed me that there really is good in life and that there IS hope.
All of a sudden, it wasn’t about my life situation (bills, debts, and the mere fact that
I was working and making someone else rich.) Instead it was about finding and creating
the abundance I WANTED and focusing on that. In other words, I learned how to
think and take action on what I wanted…and stopped reacting to what I didn’t want.
I thought that made way more sense! What do you think?

That said, I made the decision to stay home and NEVER go back to the 8-5 job.
Why should I have to deal with another person telling me how much
vacation time I was allowed to take, how much time off after I give birth I was
allowed to have (maternity leave), or even how long my lunch break should last?
Why would I want that? Again, it all boils down to my determination, persistence,
and education. I was DETERMINED to not give up on looking for something
else other than putting myself through the whole friends and family, cold
contacts (strangers) crap! I still remember feeling humiliated talking to those
strangers and even contacting some of my extended friends.

Anyways, sorry for the tangent. That’s just my passion peeking through.

This elite community and more specifically, Jonathan Budd and Mark
Hoverson, changed my whole outlook on life. They both allowed me to see
that in addition to the fact that I found something which enabled me to own the
lifestyle freedom with my family, I would also be able to help others learn how to
become financially free. And that made me feel really good…knowing that
I have the capability and potential to help others, and not just myself.

What a great feeling…to know that I was going to help not only myself but
others as well.

Seriously, the whole Empowered Entrepreneur ‘Movement’ is far from extraordinary
and the potential of how You can help others is, well let’s just say you cannot
put a price on it.

There are no other words I can say to express how grateful and
appreciative I am that I discovered this unique elite community.
But I WILL say that I LOVE the feeling of getting others to places
they want and deserve to be in.

Lifestyle Freedom * Fulfillment * Abundance!
