What are the advantages of having an online income?
It is different for everyone – for me, it is the option of traveling to various locations and being on the move. For many of you, it might just be having an extra stream of income coming into the family budget. Or maybe you are dreaming of your own online business. So many people are fed up with the corporate grind, but are stuck – there is another way, it takes time. It might mean learning a new skill.
The key is to start planning for it now, don’t wait until you are ready to leave or worse you are laid off. Get started now, do some research, explore options and things that might be possible, and spend a couple of hours a week, in the areas you need to brush upon.
We all have time to do this, think about the time you spend, scrolling through Facebook.
If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die. – Warren Buffet
Whatever you decide to do, the idea is to start and find something that suits you. Set it up, so you have the choice, freedom, and option to work from anywhere.

I love my online business and am grateful I can operate my business wherever I choose. – Learn more about what I do – by checking out my website
Good luck with the research and I hope you find something that allows you to have the freedom that I have.
I wanted to share what made me get started in a new company again, as I have changed companies often. So here goes.
Background
After walking out on my narcissistic partner, almost 2 years ago, I had to completely start again. I went into my own cleaning business as a way to pay the bills however I knew it was never going to be more than a job, and it was very hard on my body. I started to get back pain and realised, I had to get serious about creating an income that didn’t impact my health.
I have been in direct selling for most of my life and having left the industry for a while, I decided to join a direct selling company that I thought was going to be a way for me to eventually buy my own home. I want to have my own independence, as living with my parents, has challenges, and someone in their 60’s, shouldn’t be living with their parents. However, I found as a year went by I could no longer promote that company, the products were great, but just a few things that did not align with me. It was too hard for customers to buy and a confusing career plan, just to name a couple.
Financial Problems
Last year was a very challenging year as I wrote off my car in August, and due to finance on my car, it left me with just 4K to buy another car, so I bought my van – which was great for my month-long trip to Victoria but is not suitable for driving each day, as it is old and hard on fuel. This was so, frustrating, as I didn’t have a consistent income to get a loan for another car and I have been driving Mum & Dad’s car, which I don’t enjoy. I am grateful I have it, but I am also aware if something happens to it, it leaves them without a car.
Return to Party Plan
I decided to change it up and joined a party plan company in homewares, which I had loved in the past and only left due to my toxic ex-partner and his manipulation. I was just starting to get this going, earlier this year, when a past colleague from my Bodyshop days, shared that a new company in the wellness, skincare, and makeup space was launching in Australia. I checked it out purely as a sticky beak and was instantly hooked. I loved everything about what I saw.
My New Company
I joined straight away as so many things aligned with me from the get-go. Products everyone needs and wants. Affordable prices. A free VIP program, which makes it easy for customers to shop and save money. A career plan that is simple to follow, with no breakaways where you lose income, and most importantly one that I can align my values with and passionately share. I just knew I could help so many people, start a business from home, with no barriers to get started, with free joining options.
Products
Products are so important in any business, as without good products we don’t have a business and after using the products for a month, am in love with everything I try,
We have products that are clinically proven products with patented technology across 5 ranges. Wellness, Skincare, Make-up, Body & Hair. Products are affordable, exclusive to us, high quality and they work. Learn more about products here
I have team members and customers loving the products too. They are seeing results on the weight loss products, and have had customers already upgrade to become a consultant, as they can see the income opportunity we have here.
Hard decision
It was not easy leaving my homewares business, as I thought, what are people going to think, Here she goes again, changing companies again. I could easily have stayed put, for that reason, but I knew deep in my soul, that for me to have any chance of earning a consistent income, and the chance to buy my own home in a couple of years. I had to find a company that had consumable products, that people loved and used every day, A global business that was expanding and most importantly of all. I had to be fully aligned with every aspect of the business. I am happy to say my new business ticks all those boxes and more.
The future
I am not going anywhere, and I am planning on building a team and a large customer base in the coming months & years. I have products that not only help my well-being & health but people I care about and the people I meet who either join my team or become one of my customers
Changing companies is hard but I refuse to stay in the same place when I know, I can’t promote it anymore, and I am no longer aligned with it. After all, the opinions of others won’t pay my bills or help me have the life I want. I’m here for the long haul, committed to a path that resonates with my soul and promises a future filled with purpose and prosperity.

Until next time

Running a business while traveling can be an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging. Here are some tips for managing your business while on the go:
Use Cloud-Based Services: Cloud-based services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Boards, and Trello can help you keep track of your work while you’re on the move. You can access your files, notes, and tasks from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. I use all of these and highly recommend them.
Plan Ahead: Before you leave for your trip, make sure you have a plan in place for how you’ll manage your business while you’re away. Set up automatic email responses, delegate tasks to your team members, and create a schedule for when you’ll check in on your work.
Stay Connected: Stay connected with your team and clients using video conferencing tools like Zoom or Skype. This will allow you to have virtual meetings and check-ins while you’re away.
Use Social Media: Use social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to keep in touch with your clients and customers. You can use these platforms to post updates about your business and interact with your followers.
Have a Reliable Internet Connection: A reliable internet connection is essential when running a business while traveling. Make sure you research your destination beforehand to ensure you have access to reliable internet service.
Use a Virtual Assistant: Consider hiring a virtual assistant to help you manage your business while you’re away. They can help with tasks like responding to emails, managing your schedule, and booking travel arrangements.
Prioritize Your Work: When you’re traveling, it’s easy to get distracted by all the new sights and experiences. Make sure you prioritize your work and set aside time each day to focus on your business.
Stay Organized: Being organized is key when running a business while traveling. Keep track of your schedule, expenses, and important documents using tools like Evernote or Trello.
Take Time for Yourself: Finally, don’t forget to take time for yourself. Traveling can be stressful, and it’s important to take breaks and recharge your batteries. Take time to explore your surroundings, try new things, and enjoy your trip.
Running a business while traveling can be challenging, but with the right tools and mindset, it can also be a rewarding experience. Follow these tips to help you manage your business while on the move.
Using good skincare is something that I have never scrimped on, and it has been so worth it.
Below are some reasons why it is so important to look after our skin as we age. Maybe it is time to change the products you have been using for years. I love the range I switched to a couple of months ago, check it out here – Spa Quality Skincare at affordable prices
“Your skincare routine is a bank account. Invest wisely.”
Moisturisation and hydration: As we get older, our skin tends to become drier and loses its ability to retain moisture. This can lead to increased skin roughness, flakiness, and the development of fine lines and wrinkles. Good skincare products, such as moisturizers and hydrating serums, help replenish the skin’s moisture barrier, keeping it plump, smooth, and hydrated.
Wrinkle prevention and reduction: Aging skin is more prone to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines due to factors like decreased collagen production and loss of elasticity.
Protection from environmental damage: Over time, our skin is exposed to various environmental factors, such as sunlight, pollution, and harsh weather conditions. These external aggressors can accelerate the aging process and cause damage to the skin cells. Good skincare includes the use of products with SPF (sunscreen) to protect the skin from harmful UV rays and antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals generated by environmental pollutants.
Even skin tone and texture: Aging skin can develop uneven pigmentation, age spots, and an overall dull appearance. Regular use of skin care products containing ingredients like vitamin C can help brighten the skin, fade dark spots, and promote a more even skin tone and texture.
Prevention and treatment of skin conditions: As we age, the risk of certain skin conditions, such as dryness, sensitivity, rosacea, and adult acne, may increase. Good skincare practices involve using gentle and suitable products for your skin type, which can help prevent or manage these conditions effectively.
Self-care and confidence: Taking care of your skin as you age is not only about the physical benefits but also the emotional well-being. Establishing a skincare routine and indulging in self-care rituals can provide a sense of comfort, relaxation, and confidence. It can boost your self-esteem and help you feel good about your appearance.
In summary, using good skincare as we age helps maintain skin health, address specific concerns related to aging, protect against environmental damage, and promote overall well-being. It is an investment in your skin’s long-term health and can contribute to a more youthful and radiant complexion.
