I decided that I wanted to add a section to the blog on business options/opportunities. (Yes, I do also have ulterior motives for this particular post. Let me explain!) From time to time I plan to invite women who are working their own businesses to guest blog (there are a few in the works right now) or I will highlight options that you might be interested in.
Today I wanted to talk about a company called Dream Trips. It is a direct sales company (many of you may know it as network marketing.) I tend to think that these types of companies have gotten a bad reputation because too many people have tried to make it sound like it's easy money that you don't really have to put any effort into. My experience is that these companies can be great opportunities if you are passionate and interested in the topic and ready to put in some time building it up; just like any other endeavor.
Years ago I had a dear friend who was making a lot of money in a scrap-booking business. She LOVED scrap-booking and was always encouraging me to join. I hate taking pictures and rarely open a photo album. Not a good business opportunity for me! You get the idea? If you are passionate about the product or service it is not sales. You just naturally find yourself telling people about this great product, service, etc. The difference with direct sales is that with these businesses, if you put the time in, you are going to have an unlimited source of income. This is unlike your 9-5 job that is dependent on the companies budget and your boss's idea of your value to the company. If you are valuable you will likely get a 3% raise.
Given the income potential (Yes, I have actually made money from these type's of businesses) and my passionate desire to chart my own course, I find myself a fan of this type of business. You will likely hear about a few of them from me. Having said that, I will say that Dream Trips is a company Marcel and I signed on with. We have more than one set of friends who absolutely rave about the trips. (All inclusive, four & five star hotels, all over the world, safari's, cruises, etc.) We signed up quite awhile ago and like typical Type A's, we haven't actually gone on a trip yet.
After signing on we promptly forgot about it. I don't mean we actually forgot about it, but we got busy with other things and it got buried under a different pile of projects. The really ridiculous thing is that if we tell four friends who decide they'd like to join there is no monthly fee. I would really like to stay in until we actually take advantage of one of these wonderful trips. So, if you like to travel and you like to travel in style for really cheap, here is the link.

When you get to the website click the number two on the left side of the screen to see a short video (15-20 minutes) for details about the company. You can sign-up on the spot if you wish. To the first four people who sign up, we would like to send you a 1 lb. box of your favorite chocolates. (Yes, the good stuff, Godiva, See's, etc.)
When signing up please make sure to post on the blog and we will respond to obtain information on your favorite chocolate after we've confirmed your registration with the company. After that, we might be off to Aruba together! Also, any of you who have experience with the trips from this company, please feel free to post comments about your experience!
Thanks for your time everyone, we'll see you next week!
