In class this week, we have been trying to plan out our future and decide what we “want to be when we grow up”. It’s supposed to be what I want for myself, but it’s hard to imagine my own future when so much of it depends on my husband and kids. My childhood dream was always to get married and be a mom. I have been married for 13 years now and have five beautiful children. They are almost to the age of school, which will leave me time during the day to pursue something for myself.

I have been leaning towards starting a fitness center (gym and nutritional consultation) from my home. In class, we have focused a lot on networking and getting your name out there.  It’s been interesting to look a little deeper at myself and discover talents that I hadn’t thought of before.

It is a good thing to have dreams, though. Dreams are what drive us to do better, to explore new possibilities. Most inventions are from someone’s dream. Dreams also give us the hope that we need to get through trying times.

One of my dreams that I would like to accomplish this year is to start selling scrubbies. I know that it will be a slow start and I am still trying to figure some of the particulars out, but I think it would be good. This is something that I can do from home to help support our family. I’m hoping that I can get it worked out and get a good networking base.  I think that with some word of mouth advertising from my family members, others will see how great the product is and purchase them. Christmas is coming up as well and that should help to encourage the purchasing of something nice and inexpensive for friends and family members. It could work.

Scrubbies anyone?????
