I did it. I took the plunge. I have been looking for a job or something I could do while going to school, having an internship and being a mom to bring in some income. September was this first month of me being completely unemployed since I was 14. It's taken time to adjust to not being able to contribute financially. It is also a time in Jordan and my lives when we need to increase our income to make steps to becoming financially free. So I took a leap of faith on Sunday night and joined Stella and Dot as a stylist.
It is a huge step out of my comfort zone. If you know me, you know I am a quiet person who usually doesn't say anything to anyone unless necessary. Don't get me wrong, I love being around people and I love having conversations and talking to people. I'm just not naturally very good at it. I have felt drawn to it and love the vision of the company and the way it works. I love that it brings women together for a fun night of making them feel pretty and developing community.
Stella and Dot is an awesome company. Each piece has a story and is hand designed. It gives women the opportunity to have a business of their own with out the hassle of starting a business. There is work to be done and people to call, shows to be done, and we need lots of support. We are a company that promises not to disappoint.
I went to my first meeting with my team of stylists in Richmond last night. I had no idea what I was getting into. It was super encouraging and all of the women there were welcoming and I felt like I could tackle the world when it was over. This season of my life is going to be a new one for me and a challenging one. I have high goals to accomplish.
I joined not just for the opportunity to make money but also for the opportunity to become a better version of myself. I want to be better at talking to people and building relationships with people who have come into my life and who I typically miss opportunities of having meaningful conversation. I want to be a better friend. I want to catch up with all the people who I have let slip over time. I want to encourage other women and be a success story in this business.
Look out world. Who knows what will happen next? Never thought I would be doing something like this.
I am having my launch show on January 27th. Look for an invite in your inbox. If you think I don't have your contact information and you are interested please email me at cnagle526@gmail.com.
I'll come to your party if you come to my open-mic. :-)
