My name is Toni, and I currently live in Dover, DE. I started my business in August of 2007 while I was living in beautiful New Mexico. One of my favorite aspects of this business is the flexibility. I am originally from California, but spent most of my life living in Illinois and Wisconsin. I'm used to moving, and love traveling. This business just moves with me!
I was a bartender for 10 years and a bar manager for 6 years before I moved out to New Mexico. I would work 50 to 70 hours a week, if not more. Being single, I was always the one that covered shifts when people didn't show up. I worked every holiday and every weekend so the other employees could spend time with their families.
I didn't want to tend bar any longer after I moved, so I had to go find a "real job." With the economy, it was not any easy task to find one that will pay the bills. I was fortunate enough to find a position that paid well, and offered plenty of over time. I didn't know anyone out there, other than a few family members, so I spent a lot of time online.
I came across the Free Candle Drawing online, and was interested immediately. I originally joined the Candle of the Month club simply because I love candles! Who wouldn't want new candles every month? With the training materials that I was receiving from our team, I decided that maybe I could actually sell these too. I had a company website, why not?
I took some candles to work, and my co-workers loved them. When I went out and people asked what I did for a living, I told them about my candle business. I started promoting my business both on and off line and couldn't believe the response. This is a business that is very easy to work, simply because the products are so great!
One of my first online customers was Dave. He has always been a scented candle burner but hadn't known that there was such a difference in the make up of candles. Dave has also been in different types of at home businesses. We started talking about our businesses, and just about everything under the sun. We built a strong bond, and quickly fell in love. I moved out to Delaware in March of 2008 to be near my best friend. The company I was working for wanted me to move to PA so I wouldn't "burn out" with the extra hour plus drive. Not wanting to be that far from Dave, we decided to let the job go and build the candle business. Dave immediately saw the potential in this company and became a distributor himself.
Dave and I married in August of 2008. We have big dreams for our future, and we know that we will be able to achieve them! We are 5K Diamond Distributors in two Multi Billion Dollar per year industries with Gourmet Candles and the new Mineral Makeup line! Who would have thought that a Free Candle Drawing link could have changed the course of someone's life so much?
