Beyond ‘My Mom Did Direct Sales’: Here’s How It Affected My Childhood

 

“I am a child of the modern direct sales company model. Thirty years ago, my mom made a decision to ‘sell a little jewelry on the side,’ and it changed the direction of our family forever.”

 

I shared my mom’s story in THIS article as a tribute to her and as a way to thank her for the sacrifices that she made for our family. She’s been with the same direct sales company for all of those 30 years, and I’ve witnessed how it can work and can change lives. As a child, I couldn’t appreciate all of the work she was doing behind the scenes every single day, but now as an adult, I can never thank her enough for those years of selfless dedication and commitment.
