I want to share something personal with you today — not to talk about me, but to show you why the VIP membership exists and why I believe so deeply in the transformation it creates. 💛 My Story: From Struggling Alone to Finally Getting the Support I Needed Back in the 90s, when my kids were small, working from home wasn’t really “a thing.”With only a high school education and very limited options, I turned to network marketing because it felt like the only way to build something meaningful while still being present for my family. But for 12 years, I struggled. I bounced from company to company, desperately hoping someone would see my potential… someone who would show me the path… someone who would mentor me. And every time, I got the same disappointing feeling, “I know I can do this — if only someone would help me.” It was frustrating. Exhausting. Discouraging. But I kept going. Then in 2007, everything changed. I joined a company that didn’t just talk about support — they lived it. They provided: ✨ Real training ✨ Real mentorship ✨ Real leadership ✨ And local managers who actually took you under their wing One mentor, in particular, changed everything for me. I spent countless hours with her learning: - how to sell - how to build relationships - how to recruit - how to lead a team - how to create a plan and follow through - how to believe in myself - She celebrated every small win with me. She encouraged me when goals didn’t go as planned. And most importantly… 👉 She saw my potential before I was able to see it in myself. Those years shaped who I am today — and they shaped the vision for this community. 💛 Why VIP Exists Most of you already know: I love helping beginners become confident knitters. But for those of you who want to go further… who dream of: 🧶 Selling your knits 🧶 Starting a craft fair table 🧶 Building an online shop🧶 Designing your own patterns 🧶 Or even turning your hobby into real income You shouldn’t have to walk that journey alone. I’ve been on that island before — and I know how hard and confusing it feels.
