Passion, Paychecks and Pajamas

by Tera Warner

Lots of people sell the idea of entrepreneurship, but the statistics say that only a small proportion of the people who attempt to start a business ever really make it off the ground. Sometimes the stress and burden of responsibility is more than most people are able or willing to take on.

There are so many things to do when you start out on your own. The promotion, production, delivery and finances, the legal details, too…

The list goes on, and what happens for many people inspired by the ideas of entrepreneurship, is that they find out they are working twice as many hours for half as much pay as they would in a day job at WalMart. They’re slave employees, to themselves!!

Added to all these administrative business tasks is the fact that many of us juggle childcare, husband cuddles and other significant family/relationship engagements.

So what’s the solution to this mother-making-money dilemna?

When Amy and I built this company from the bottom up just about a year and a half ago, the intention was to build something that could empower other women to do what we had done.

Looking around at what others were up to, we saw so many people trying to make it on their own. You can look, and you’ll see them, too-still struggling, still trying to be a one-woman show and get it all done.

Life wasn’t made to be lived in isolation!

Whatever you do, you will do it better with a team to support you!

There are so many women passionate about health and raw food trying to start a mini company themselves, but they never manage to get out of the rut of organizational details and get it off the ground.

So, as we were building our business, we asked ourselves, “What if we could put together all the materials, support and systems other women like us need to build their business, so that they can focus on doing what they love-sharing information with others and supporting people in a positive way.

Well, we’ve been working pretty hard these last months. We’ve created the programs, the systems, the promotional materials, and as of this week, we’ve created all the systems you need to start your own Raw Diva business, too, or to make a pretty handsome income referring our products to your current business.

We’ve done the hard work leading up to this point so that you wouldn’t have to. I know these are crunchy financial times, and if you’re looking for a way to supplement your income, or expand what you’re already doing, maybe even break away from an uninspiring job to take up something you *really* love, then check out our BRAND NEW Diamonds for Diva Affiliate program.

We know what it’s like to be single, self-employed, stay-at-home/homeschooling moms. We did it and we are doing it, and now we want to let you know that we’d like to do what we can to support you, too. The job gets easier for all of us when we band together.

If you look at what we do around here, you’ll see that more than anything else, it’s built on community. The Raw Mom blog, The Green Smoothie Blog, The Powder Room are just the beginning.

Whether you’re interested in being a part of our programs, or not, we encourage you always to follow your dreams, persist through the tough times and keep the goal in sight, no matter how much life’s waves toss you to the ground, just get up and keep walking.

That’s how we did it, and we know you can do it, too!

Here’s to your next great adventure, whatever that will be!
