Hello!
We are Jamie & Rick Volner and we'd like to take some time to tell you about us because when looking for a home business you are also getting partners that will be helping you get started. Knowing who we are will help you figure out if we'll make good partners.
I think you will find our story is very similar to many of your own for we are every day people who put their pants on one leg at a time and get through this life the very best way we can!
We'll start with me first (Jamie). I am a mom of two and grandmother of one, wife, entrepreneur and a retired hospice nurse. Why did I leave nursing you ask? While it was one of the most rewarding times of my life over a 17 year career with the really long hours and often going weeks with virtually no days off I realized I missed out on so much of my kids lives. I was also physically and emotionally worn down and torn between work and home life. I wanted and needed to make some changes in my life.
Rick my husband by trade was an Ironworker and is a Veteran of the United States Navy. Well things took a really bad turn for him in his career when he was badly injured and broke his back leaving him in several years worth of physical therapy, out of work and having to accept the loss of his life's long work for he could never return to it. He is very talented with woodworking and has owned successful businesses of his own over the years and has been a very devoted husband and step parent to my children from a previous marriage.
I sat him down several years ago and together we decided that we wanted and needed more out of life and knew we had to make some changes, we just were not sure what that really was yet. So, one day I hit the internet looking for ideas on how to bring some additional income into our home and helping with those nagging bills that were piling up that our "regular jobs" just couldn't cut. Oh, but keep in mind this was not THE first business we came across and we went through some real "Duds" let me tell you!
As I searched I kept certain things in my mind for what we were looking for.
* I wanted to find us something I/We could do from home
* More time for each other, our kids and grandchild
* Earn some great income now, but also help us build a nest egg for the future
* Find something we both loved and are passionate about and a prodcut we believed in because if we don't believe in it we won't support it, it's just the way we are
* Find a business that fit our budget and lifestyle
We'll be honest it sure seemed impossible finding all the qualities that met our requirements but we knew if we didn't give up eventually we'd find the right fit and we did with this business. Here is the thing though, we also wanted something that would be FUN!
I came across this gourmet candle business one day and a light bulb went off because both myself and my husband LOVE candles and are very into the natural aspects of products.
We looked at all the other candle companies, compiled information and investigated each and every one to the fullest before we made our decision.
Some of the reasons we decided on this company were:
* Natural wax candles that were not toxic, smelled great and way better for the environment
* The company did not mandate we had to "make quotas" to stay involved or "were out".
* We have the freedom to run our business our way
* It fit into our budget and did not break our pocketbook
* A company that doesn't just say they are "about family" they truly are
* And NO PRESSURE what a refreshing relief that was after our "Duds"
Now, please understand in no way shape or form do we offer you the means to get rich quick and any business whether it is on the internet or a physical store front can take several years to build. You can make money quickly if you put the time and energy into it and understand it takes time, continuous learning and being consistent. It is the only way to make any business succeed in the long term. We are committed in helping you achieve your goals and dreams, while we will be there every step of the way, it's up to you what you do with it!
Should you decide this is the right business fit for you we're truly excited and if it is not we understand and wish you all the very best in all your endeavors!
