Hi, my name is Gail Wahl. I want to take a minute to tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a mom, wife, entrepreneur and a homeschool teacher. My husband, Tom, and I have two wonderful sons that are 15 and 10. We also have a sweet lab/retriever named Sandy. God has blessed us with 20 years of marriage. Life hasn't always been "easy", but we look back at the richness of our lives and are grateful for God's hand in our lives. Together, we look forward to each day as we watch it unfold before us.
My story is similar to many, maybe even yours.
I worked full time as a Human Resource Specialist until my second son was born. After he was born we decided it was time for me to stay at home. In order to continue to help financially and yet still be with my children I have tried many things.....day care, cleaning houses, bookkeeping and even part time work at our church as a Women's Ministry Director.
Even though these endeavors provided for us in some way, they each were lacking either in financial reward, or in the ability for me to spend enough time with my family. Four years ago I began homeschooling my now, 15 year old. As you can imagine, finding just the right income provider became even more difficult. I was determined to find the best "work from home" option.
A friend suggested to me that I check out a website that posted jobs for Moms who wanted to work from home. I decided to check it out and was amazed at the options available. I checked into a number of different opportunities.
As I searched the internet I kept in mind my goals.
I wanted to work from home
Freedom to spend time with my family doing school or playing
Earn a great income now, but also help us prepare for the future
Be passionate about the product/business
Find a product that fit the average person's budget
Create a business the fit MY style.
Build relationships with others
It seemed impossible to find something that met all my requirements, but I believed that with Gods help and direction I would find just the right fit.
I knew that I wanted something in an industry that was fast-growing, recession proof, and be something that people use and want over and over. I also wanted work that would provide an on-going income. You know, something that would pay me over and over for the work that I did one time! It didn't know it at the time, but that is called Residual Income
On a personal level I wanted to do something that was fun and that allowed me to build relationshps with other women. My main passion has always been to minister to women by helping them become all that God desires for them in their marriages, as moms and as career women...
Along this journey, I discovered a few things about myself. I had a strong entrepreneurial spirit that began to drive my passion for success and I also had a growing fascination with the Internet, its potential, and the idea that one could make an incredible income online. All this could be done while working from home in my pajamas and a cup of coffee!
I also began to realize the power of owning my own business. It empowers you to take control of your time, make decisions based on your values, and design a lifestyle through your definition of success. I never dreamed I could own my own business. No one in my family had ever done it!
One thing I know for sure is that the Internet is here to stay. It has made having a home based business a reality! If you choose, it is very possible for you to earn an income online. There’s a very precise way to do it. If I can do it, so can you. I had no special skills before I began this journey, but through our training and my own determination, I have successfuly built a wonderful business on-line.
By now you are probably asking, "Why did you choose this Home Based Candle Business?" "What makes it different than the rest?" Well let me lay it out for you.
1. The multiple ways to earn income;retail, fundrasing and residual.
2. Low cost of entry and ongoing cost (Under $50!).
3. Multi million dollar industry.
4. A consumable product that virtually everyone has and uses over and over. Who doesn't love candles?
5. A solid program where I can teach people a few simple steps and they can begin making profit immediately.
6. A way to get out and meet with friends and make new friends without taking too much time away from my family!
7. No company mandates or quotas!
8. The money immediately hits my pocketbook. I don't have to wait for a company check.
I’m happy to tell you that I’m growing a thriving home business. One that continues to provide an increasing income, allows me to set the pace. Most importanty, I am able to spend time with my family, develop new relationships and live a lifestyle based on my values and decisions!
It provides ongoing personal growth, education and development which are very important to me. It also gives me the chance to help others work to their potential and get what they want/need by establishing their own business.
My time is my own and my families. I work when I choose and decide each day how much time I want to spend on my business. It does not tell me.
And, because I am in an industry that is recession proof, fast growing and has products used by everyone, I get paid while I’m playing with my kids, hanging with friends, on vacation...even in my sleep!
