A New Business Venture



I’ve started a new business venture, folks! I’ve recently become an independent consultant for Rodan + Fields Dermatologists. I’m sure some of you are thinking, “What are you doing...are you crazy?” Nope, I’m not crazy. Here’s my story…

I was in advertising for over seven years and loved my job and the people I worked with. But after having two kids and no family in town, it just became too much for this momma. So I decided to stay home. Just as I was approaching a year mark of being at home I was presented with the opportunity to join Rodan + Fields by an attorney that works with James, Julie Wells. I wasn’t looking for anything like this at all but had been contemplating what the future was going to look like for me. As my oldest approaches school age and the public vs. private school debate becomes regular conversation in our home, I had been thinking that if we wanted to have the option to send the kids to private school, that I would need to be willing to go back to the office full-time. And while I loved my previous job, I would prefer to have a lot more flexibility and time with the kids, even after they are both in school. So, when Julie presented me with the opportunity, it did at least perk my interest enough to go and check it out good. I was very skeptical and started searching for criticisms of the company, the business model and the products. But instead, this is what I found.

The Doctors
The Doctors are credible. Stanford trained, inventors of ProActiv, and practicing dermatologists.

The Company
The company has grown over 1400% in the past three years. How many companies out there can boast that kind of growth? Especially right now. Not many.

The Products
The products are proven to work and are backed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. You can check out some before and after’s here. Beauty editors are smitten with these docs and their products. R+F has received over 100 million media impressions. That’s more than every other direct selling company combined. In fact, Oprah is a big fan of the anti-age line and has featured several of the anti-age products in her O magazine. She even wanted to give the products away on her favorite things show her last season but because the company was so new and there were so few consultants in the U.S. at that time, they had to turn it down. Their current infrastructure couldn't have handled millions of orders at the same time!


The Timing is Right
I was getting in early, which would set me up for the most earnings potential. There are only 11 people between myself and the Doctors themselves! Yes, that's right. ELEVEN! 

The Flexibility
And the best part is that I’m my own boss. Working this business on my own time and on my own terms. 

To sum it all up, I realized that this is a legitimate business opportunity and if I were successful, it would mean more than just a few extra hundred dollars a month. It had the potential to provide the full-time income that I might be seeking in a few years. I’m not just selling great skin-care products. I’m building a business and changing my financial future and helping others do the same. And if Julie could do it (working full-time, with two young children and a 45 minute commute), then I could too! I didn’t want to look back and have any regrets. I knew that I couldn’t go back in a year or two and get in 11 down from the top. If I was going to do it, the time was right. Now.  And the business itself comes with a 60-day money back guarantee, so I knew I had absolutely nothing to lose and everything in the world to gain.

So now you all know what I’m doing and why I’m doing it.  And hopefully you no longer think that I’m too crazy!  And if you want to know more about the business or the products, please let me know.  I have both a product and business website that have a lot of additional information. I’m very excited about this opportunity and want to share it with as many folks as I can. 

I'm ready to do this!
