My “Plan B”

May 14, 2009

As I made coffee this morning I glanced at the monitor and saw this article on http://usatoday.com

I joined the ranks of direct sales a few years ago and have found a great company just like the people featured in this article.

It works if you work it!

And I am relieved that it does work, coming off the events of last week and my letter that I am no longer needed at my job.
