Paris. ha! Paris! Folies Bergeres, Jolies Madames...!!! Ok. Better : My father made his carrier with a big petroleum American company, and gave me the taste for traveling, and eventually, I caught that "American Dream" virus when I was 12. But, France is a small , old country, and I my mind was shaped in that society to find it normal to live "small and old ways" and especially to avoid responsibility ,but being specialist at seeking assistance. How's that? So I am sooooo grateful that my parents succeeded to teach me this entrepreneurial way of living! .... in spite of their own old french fashion education . I started being a life-guard at the age of 18, then a sports teacher, then worked in tourism and in air-transportation industries. After 7 years with different employers , including myself, who I worked for, I decided I would be a true entrepreneur, and never write a resume again. I started a small business in the little town where I was living, on the French Riviera, and managed 4 employees. At the age of 29, I met my husband, and became as well as his wife, his partner in his business: manage a fitness center. This is at this point of the story that you will start to understand why we decided to move our life out of France.... We both were running the Gym 12 hours a day,6/7, no vacations .No time to enjoy our house, the sea and the sun. Sundays busy to make accounting, desperate to pay all taxes on time each month. Making good money, but giving it 60% to the government, with our time. So we sold the gym, the furniture, the cars, left the family, and moved to Tahiti, French Polynesia. I was now at the reach of my American dream, and after a lot of learning and experiences, I ended up creating my own company in Hawaii, while my husband still run his small business in Moorea. We were giving ourselves a most enjoyable style of life, but still, running that kind of business (wholesale and retail) is taking a lot of time and stress, for just make this good living. One day, I read the book of Robert Kyosaki: 'Rich Dad-Poor Dad" and I realized that I needed to change my way of working. I had to position myself in that right part of the quadrant, and I started to search how I could make it. I searched and tried many things on the internet, 'till I hit THE button: I started my Internet marketing business ! Since then, I have no more problems, I do what I like, when I like, where I like, no stress, no worries, and I do my work with pleasure, fun, and success ! I love my life with this work, and this freedom !I love my work ! I can see things differently now, be happy. Big part of my work is networking, and speaking with people. I can tell I’m really having fun ! My life is really changed, and I would love to network and work with like minded people and really get the word out, share this with as many serious persons as possible.
