About Shirley
Welcome to My Blog!
Hi there! My name is Shirley Muhammad. Your story may be a lot like mine. I’m a wife and a mother of two beautiful teenage daughters. I love to travel, read books and hang out with my family. I’m just a regular person who had a big desire to work from home and be my own boss. Basically, I wanted to own my life. It all began with a “What if”.
My background is similar to a lot of people, maybe even yours. I did what my folks told me to. I went to college, got a business degree and headed for the glorious (I least I thought it was back then) world of corporate America. I took pride in my work, paid my dues and got promoted fairly quickly. The problem was that I worked about 50-60 hours a week, supervised other employees who didn’t want to be there and had little time or energy to spend time with my family or do any of the things that I loved to do. I was burnt out and all of the other areas of my life started to suffer.
Although I made good money, my time really wasn’t my own at all. I had a boss and an electric rooster a.k.a. alarm clock.
So I decided to be my own boss and started a real estate business in 2004 with my husband. He was the Realtor and I was the Loan Officer. I’m sure you can remember how great the real estate market was back then. We had so much fun and made a lot of money.
Because we were our boss, we set our own schedule, got opportunities to travel, spent more time with our children and it seemed like our income had no limits….or so we thought. You see, when you’re self-employed, your income depends on just what you can do. So if you don’t go to work or close a deal, then you don’t make any money. That was a real bummer!!
In late 2006, the real estate market started to become very volatile. It seemed impossible to get anything closed and our income decreased dramatically. We were living on our savings and I knew that we needed to do something fast. Around that same time, we were reintroduced to the idea of home business by a friend. We had known home based business and had even started with a company about 12 years prior but nothing really came of it.
Due to our previous experience, I was skeptical about home based business and didn’t want to get involved in something that was a scam. How could I know who to trust? I did some research and found a great company that was a good fit.
In December 2004, I said, “What if” and I leaped into my home business career and have never looked back.
I remember once hearing someone say “Success leaves clues”. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel so I decided to join the ranks of those who were already successful. I made a pledge to educate myself on what was out there, select something that worked for me and my family, apply the time, energy, commitment and perseverance that I knew it would take and reap the rewards!!
I wanted something in an industry that is fast-growing, recession proof with products and services that people need, use and want. I also wanted something that would provide an on-going monthly residual income. You know, something that would pay me over and over for doing the work one time!
You should know right now that it is possible for you to build the business of your dreams with our team and our company.
I want to make sure you understand that I am not offering you a get-rich-quick scheme. Although you can make a lot of money very quickly, it does takes effort and consistency. Truthfully, that is the only way you will get what you really want.
My home business allows me to be my own boss, be with my family, travel and still make money (even when I’m sleeping).
And I also have the wonderful privilige of helping others get what they want!
