About Christy
I like Twitter profiles for their brevity and I think mine says a lot: Power Entrepreneur, Wife, Cool Mom, Real Estate Investor, Business Mentor, Visionary, Philanthropist and Volunteer…
Work from home mom…
I am a stay at home mother of three ages 8, 10 and 13. I am wife to a great guy named Mark. My goal right now is to get him out of his job and retire him early (very early!)! I have a degree in Education but I am “unemployable”. I am a true entrepreneur and cannot imagine ever working for someone else. I love my life, my freedom and my businesses.
My first real job, after teaching sailing and being a ski bum for a season was as a Realtor. I worked for a high end real estate firm in Vermont and had my Brokers’ license by my mid 20′s. I loved the pace, the money and I do love real estate but…we had our first child. It was not a career or a pace that was fair to either of us.
The novelty of being a stay at home wore off. I wasn’t willing to watch one more episode of Oprah and I really didn’t care if the clothes piled up in the laundry room. There had to be more and I was going to find a way to give, do and be without taking away from my babies. By now I had two and we had move to warmer Virginia ( I could take the laundry piling up but not the snow!).
Real Estate Investor…Great wealth strategy but takes alot of capital and huge learning curve (happy to teach you if you want me too but there is an easier way!)
So I’ll admit it. I bought one of those courses off of late night TV and we started buying real estate. You would think my previous experience was a factor but this was a completely different animal. It was a wild ride. I remember being up painting houses at 2am because Mark was able to be home with the kids. My HVAC (heating and air) guy was as comfortable with one of my babies on his hip as I was. It was a little out of control! More than a full time job and more than full time stress. We had rentals and I was flipping houses. It was fun and crazy and out of control!
Learned about True Wealth Building…
This led us to Maui Millionaires. We found a community of people building exceptional businesses and wealth in all areas of their lives. We learned to begin building a lifestyle along with building businesses. Quality of life was an essential part of building wealth. Now our businesses and our lives are interconnected and support each other. I like to say we are building a life and for me that includes building the business. It also includes leaving a legacy, creating better health, better relationships and making the world a better place. Now I own more property but have property managers and partners to help with the details.
Best Industry To Help Others Create Wealth and Financial Freedom…
Most important to me right now is my successful network marketing business. Again, I have business partners and leverage my time. It is also an online business. Now I am using the Internet, social media and online resources to truly grow an exceptional network marketing business and partnerships. On my time and truly from home. I’m generating my own leads and having way more fun doing it. People call me and I have the freedom to choose the kind of people I want to work with rather than chasing friends and family in the traditional networking world. It has actually opened up the world to me in a way I never imagined. I’m making new friends and creating relationships daily. While I’m at home in my jeans or PJ’s:)! Does it get any better than that? It has enriched our lives in ways I can’t even begin to describe!
Love our life and want to help others create the same…
We live full time on a beautiful lake in Virginia. A place we had planned to retire to in 20 some years and I have time to be a nearly professional volunteer (PTA President, Rotary and many causes near and dear to my heart). We are working on creating the perfect life with passion for what we do and contribute. We honor quality time as a family and grow our businesses to support that freedom.
My desire is to help others create the same kind of freedom I have. I want you to have choices and to be able to stay home with your children while creating long term wealth for your family. A respected friend, mom and attorney once introduced me by saying “Christy is adept at helping women particularly moms figure out what they want and how to get it. Nothing is impossible” . I honor and cherish that. Please feel free to contact me.
