I became an independent consultant with Paparazzi Accessories on September 8, 2020. I had no knowledge about selling jewelry, but I liked the jewelry and accessories. My mother was excited for me. She always liked jewelry. She wore jewelry everyday and she knew once I began selling the jewelry, she would have a lifetime supply from me 😀 I only wore earrings and my wedding rings everyday. Well, my mother had a heart attack in October 2020 and selling jewelry was no longer a priority and exciting for me. My mom passed away in March 2021 and I no longer had the desire to do anything with the business. Periodically in 2022 I would watch New Consultant training videos pertaining to the Paparazzi business. I have come to learn that I am showing jewelry and the jewelry sells itself. I knew I had to do something with the inventory of jewelry I had on hand. I respect my money and I didn’t want to look at the jewelry any longer just sitting there. I decided this year that I would get back to business and get my joy back. Since Paparazzi, I have met some supportive people who has shown me aspects of business that I did not have any knowledge about. This business has given me purpose, it has created a community of supportive people and lifelong friendships, it has given me an opportunity to bring joy to people, to be a blessing to people on a totally different level, it has funded many things I desired to do, and it has given me financial freedom in my personal life and in my business. Some people may wonder how can showing $5 jewelry do all of that for you. I know what I know and it made a huge difference in my life. Moving forward with this business has brought enjoyment to me and I love what I do!
