Beauty and Network Marketing Go Together Like Birds of a Feather!

My main profession is within the beauty industry. At the age of 18, I decided to enroll in cosmetology school. By 19, I was a licensed professional, and the very day that I graduated from school, I started working as a stylist in a salon. For the past 5 1/2 years, I've diligently worked my way around the beauty industry. From working hands on as a stylist, to exploring other avenues as a make-up artist, and eventually developing a love for skin care, I am truly on my way to becoming an expert in the field. So what made me decide to get into the field of Network Marketing? The two just don't seem to to fit. Or do they?

I was first introduced to Network Marketing by a random friend request on FaceBook. I befriended a woman who is an Independent Consultant for Arbonne (the company in which I am now and Independent Consultant for). As I was checking her page out, I became incredibly interested. Being that Arbonne is a skin care company, my interest was sparked immediately. What also drew my attention was the "marketing" part. You see, I recently completed a Certificate in Marketing this past December. As I delved into this unheard of concept a little bit deeper, I discovered the earning possibilities that the network marketing industry provides. I was completely blown away. Right away, I felt like this was the opportunity that I had been praying and waiting faithfully for.

The network marketing industry tumbled into my life at just the right time. Exactly one week prior to "discovering Arbonne" and network marketing, I had gone through a very personal situation that I would never have had to go through if I were better off financially. Once I learned what exactly this opportunity that fell into my lap was all about, I made a promise to myself that this would be my solution for the future. Network marketing was my answer. It IS my answer. This industry has great earning potential, and as a young woman who is just beginning her life, there is no other option in my eyes. What other industry offers anyone, no matter your education or experience level, such immense financial stability? What other industry allows you to become a President of your own company and teach others how to do the same? What other industry allows you to leverage your time and TRULY focus on the important things in life like spending time with loved ones and just enjoying your LIFE without being on your employer's time? The answer to that is none. No other industry offers the simple things in life as just a normal benefit of working.

I am so thankful that I found this opportunity. I feel that without my awareness of the network marketing industry, my future would not be my own. It would belong to whoever I work for. My time would be worth whatever someone else feels I deserve. Network Marketing and the MLM industry allows one not only to take control of their life, but also to LIVE their life. And for that opportunity, I am greatful.

Are you someone who is content with existing in a job where the hourly pay is minimal, your time is not your own, and growth potential is limited? Or, are you someone who is interested in living and experienceing your life, structuring your time as you please, and promoting to top levels within the company you work for? I'm always big on helping others learn, grow, and advance, so if you're someone who is truly interested in living the life you dream of and deserve, check out this link for some free information on network marketing:

...If you have a great leader, or if you ARE a great leader, there is no way that you can be unsuccessful!

Welcome!

Hello there, and welcome to my blog!! Let me introduce myself...

My name is Melissa Wilson. I'm 24 years old, and I am located in Rhode Island (for now!!). I'm a licensed cosmetologist and skin care specialist. I have been studying the beauty industry for almost six years now, and this is something that I am very passionate about. As a cosmetologist, my focus is on hair, skin, and nails, however, my main interest lies with hair and skin. This is because the two go hand in hand: people notice you from the neck up (in most cases lol) when they first meet you, and if you are confident that you look your best, then you will be confident in any situation. I am also very passionate about the health of your skin and hair. Your skin is your body's largest living organ, and your hair is an appendage of the skin...so take care of it!!!

So, let me tell you a little bit about my experience. I worked as an assistant in a salon while in cosmetology school. This means that I shampooed clients for stylists, swept up hair after their cuts, and basically did all the work that nobody else wanted to do. Once I became licensed, I became a stylist. I've worked with many different product lines, and have attended many different trainings for hair styling services. I have worked under and next to numerous stylists, whom I have learned a great deal from. I've also met a lot of great people. My interest in skin care and cosmetics came about while I was living in New Jersey. I began working at Macy's Herald Square in Manhattan as a Clinique Consultant. The knowledge that I gained from working as a Clinique Consultant, combined with my Cosmetology training, gave me the fundamentals I needed in order to speak confidently to others regarding their beauty concerns.

I have been trained in numerous hair care and skin care lines, and I take special interest in learning about what makes each line different and effective. I make it a point to further my experience and education. I am constantly attending trainings, seminars, and tradeshows, or just reading books and online articles about the industry. In addition to my cosmetology and skin care training, I also went to school for Marketing, and am working towards my degree in the field.

Currently, I work as a Certified Beauty Advisor for a national retail store. I also work part time as a Stylist in a salon. I provide hair and skin care services. In addition to those two endeavors, I own and operate a home based online skin care business. I'm quite a busy girl!! In my spare time, I enjoy sleeping (gotta get the beauty rest!!), learning, spending time with friends and family (and my Chihuahua Macho!), and just trying to enjoy life in general.

...So there you have it!! That's Melissa Wilson in a nutshell!! Please feel free to check back on my blog regularly. I plan on posting LOTS of useful information here for anyone interested in the beauty industry, or in the marketing/sales industry. If you have any questions, or if I can help you in any way, please let me know! Hopefully, you will enjoy my blog, and find the content here very useful.

Thanks for reading!!!
