Kimberly Sanderson - Former Sales Leader Turned Network Marketing Mom Extraordinaire

Since starting the Mompreneur Next Door, I have met so many incredible, inspirational moms who are doing what many of you want to do - be home with your kids and make money. It's been my great privilege to highlight and showcase these moms in order to help those of you reading know that you're not alone and that there are other moms doing what you aspire to do. My hope is that you find encouragement and commonalities with their stories so that you, too, have the courage to go out and get what you want in life, as a woman and as a mom.

This week I had the privilege and honor of interviewing Kimberly Sanderson. This friendly, outgoing mom of 2 was living the corporate dream, one she thought she always wanted. Her job was great, her boss was amazing, she was challenged and loved what she was doing. The problem was her sweet babies were growing up, and she felt like she was missing out on that time with them. Kimberly wanted that as well but craved professional engagement, too.

When Kimberly learned about a work-from-home opportunity, she knew she couldn't let it pass her by. With consumable health and wellness products that she loved and what she saw as an incredible compensation plan, Kimberly was beyond excited and hopped on board. When she started, Kimberly worked her business around her full-time job and family life but realized that she could make a greater impact with her work-from-home business so she made the decision to leave corporate.

Of course there have been struggles - it's not always easy working from home as any Mompreneur knows. But for Kimberly, it was been well worth it. She is able to be the mom she wants to be and make the money she and her family want and need not only today but for the future because as with many at-home business opportunities, Kimberly's offers residual and passive income as well. For her, truly the best part is that she loves what she does and loves helping offer other parents the same opportunities to take care of their physical and financial health and well being.

Kimberly believes that anyone can be successful in network marketing if you truly work the business rather than treat it like a hobby. As she says, "It's about your goals being bigger than your excuses." For more on how she built an incredible business, her challenges and her recommendations, check out the video interview. It's truly inspirational and well worth your time! Keep believing in you and know that there is a tribe of women out there cheering you on!

Hey, Mom! Has Anyone Told You You're Doing A Great Job?

I was recently traveling alone with my three kids, and since they're tween/teens, this does not seem like such a Herculean effort as it did a few years ago. As we were exiting the shuttle from the rental car place to the airport, a guy looked at me and said "Hey, Mom! Has anyone told you lately you're doing a great job?" My face lit up, I felt a huge glow inside and thanked him profusely. He may as well have told me I had won the lottery.😁 This got me to thinking, why was this such a big deal? Probably for the one truth that most moms I know live. We think we suck at this parenting thing every single day. We beat ourselves up for every little thing. We read social media and play the compare game. We are not enough insert whatever crapola thing comes to our mind or is hot in the media at any given moment. And here's what the truth looks like. Most of us are doing a pretty amazing job. Our kids are loved, fed, clothed and housed. They feel secure enough to ha...

Creative And Stuck Behind A Desk? Time To Break Free!

Are you a creative type looking for more than the corporate grind? You know you have the ideas, but do you have what it takes to break free? Lisa Gutierrez Martinez often asked herself those questions, and she even asked her friends, some of whom basically told her that her business idea was crazy. Luckily for her and many people who have benefitted from her culturally impactful, creative and stylish dinner parties, she didn't listen. Lisa has worked successfully in various corporate positions, liking some, not loving some, and throughout them all envisioning other ways she could be professionally challenged and fulfilled as an entrepreneur. Having her own business was even more of a calling for her when her son was born. Until he was around one, she stayed with her job and had limited flexibility, but she still had to be away from him for 8 to 9 hours a day and knew it was time for a change so started her "side hustle." Like many entrepreneurial-minded people, Lis...

Do You Think All Bricks And Mortar Businesses Are Dead? Think Again!

We hear it over and over again - bricks and mortar stores are dying. Don't start a retail store because everyone is shopping on line. Recently I met a mompreneur who would beg to differ. Megan Giltner, a self-proclaimed professional bra fitter and accidental entrepreneur, became the owner of a lingerie boutique a few years ago and says the business is thriving. Like many of us moms who pursue entrepreneurship, Megan always knew that being a mom was something important to her, and at the same time she needed to feel professionally productive and engaged. She had been working in lingerie for several years, initially as a part-time way to earn some extra spending money. When Megan was four months pregnant, the owner offered her the opportunity to purchase the business where she was working, and although timing may not have seemed ideal, she jumped in with both feet and has not regretted her decision. What Megan loves most about entrepreneurship is the ability to do something sh...
