When I started selling Avon 12 years ago. Little did I know that it would become the best career that I have ever dreamed of. When I came to Avon I was burned out on the corporate world and knew there had to be more to life than working 50-70 hours a week for a paycheck that did not reflect what I knew I was worth. I started out just like everyone else with a kit and a dream but I knew if I worked consistently and stayed focused I could fulfill my families dreams. Now that both of my children are grown, one is a Chef and one is in the Marines. The sky is the limit for the potential that I see with Avon. The economy may be down but it has not slowed in the Avon world. People need our products today more than ever. I am looking forward to the next 10, 20 or ever 30 years with Avon.

Twelve years ago, we were struggling to make ends meet. I had two kids in private school and I worked FT all of my paycheck went to pay tuition. I knew that there had to be a better way to live life to the fullest. After I a year in Avon, I came home to home school my children and started working Avon as my FT job. Since then my husband and I have moved into a new home, bought a new Honda Civic Hybrid, a motorcycle and Mazda Miata and I purchased a 12 X 20 Dutch Barn for my husband to transform into an office for him. We have taken numerous trips with Avon earnings and my earnings helped to pay for my daughters expenses at a private college.

I take time off when I want to and I do not have ask for permission. When I want a raise I just work a little harder. That is true freedom when you do what you love and love what you do.I have tried other companies prior to Avon, however Avon is truly the best of the best.
