Hi Bessey - What a great photo! Welcome to MyWomanOwnedBusiness.com! You're exactly the type of person this site is designed for. I hope you make lots of "friends" and then you can query them for advice about how to progress as you decide on what type of business is right for you. There are a few other life coaches on the site. If you click on "members" and do a search with key words, you'll find them. There are also a few other people selling products from major distributors. Lynne Marian sells Mary Kay. She may be able to answer some questions about how to be successful selling such products. Good luck! And please pass the word about this site to all the women business owners you know!
