People ask me all the time why did I decide to go into the jewelry business and it’s actually a good story. In 2005 I was laid off of my job as an Executive Assistant at a boat dealership. An incredibly fun place to work with great people and fun customers until the 4th of July, LOL. Well, when that happened I became stressed because now how do I pay my bills and sustain myself. At the time the solution was not clear but maybe it should of been since I have never liked the idea of working for someone and I have been fortunate enough to not have to. <\/p>\n
So, laid off and no job options I began making soap. Yes, all-natural bath and body products that I made and sold from my home. I was able to talk then show my product right into 7 boutiques and a farmers market. The business was booming, my house smelled amazing and I was happy until a situation in life came up and I now had 4 grandchildren to raise. The oldest at the time was 6 and the youngest was 10 months. Talk about life-changing! <\/p>\n
Well now all of my focus had to be on the children and I had to end my soap-making career for a more fulfilling career and I loved it. A few weeks later I received a call from a friend who asked if I could pick her up along with a few friends and drop them off and then pick them up again to take them home safely. Sure, no problem, and my next business was created. I was able to successfully drive 100’s of party goers safely back to their homes and keep them off of the road in a rural area that had no cabs, Uber, or Lyft, only me.<\/p>\n
A few years later my husband died from a terrible accident and the grandkids and I decided to move back to my hometown of Atlanta. What a huge step for me because I moved with no job opportunity to look forward to but I knew everything would be fine. With years of experience on drumming up business for my shuttle and soap business and a few adventures in between, I had to come up with a new and viable plan so that I could stay home with my grandkids even more for safety and proper guidance. <\/p>\n
In walks, my classmate and she begins talking to me about an opportunity. An opportunity to work from home, create your own hours, and income selling jewelry. I told her there was no way I could sell jewelry and she politely asked why not? You wear it! So I jumped on board and became a jewelry consultant in multi-level marketing business and I LOVED IT!<\/p>\n
I hear bad things all the time about MLM companies but they can be a very good thing. I have several friends that are multi-millionaires from selling in their MLM business, ok so I sold for 3 years adding team members, losing team members, but the entire time my focus was on buying and selling, repeat. The entire time I honed my skills. Learned how to create more engaging posts, brand my business, choose quality products that my customer would love to purchase and wear with pride and that I Am The Bomb glow!! I learned how to create my website, SEO, email marketing, and more. I learned so much that one day I slowed down and realized I wanted to run my business without restrictions and consequences of being canceled. So I left MLM and here I am starting another fabulous business.<\/p>\n
After years of learning and watching, I have finally opened a business that I am ALL IN. I find joy in making sure my customers speak about their experience with my business with a huge smile, 100% customer satisfaction. I treat everyone with who I come in contact, business and personal with respect and love. I appreciate my customers and will never take them for granted. I have worked for years to get to this place in my life where I can have a successful home business, spend as much time with any of my ten grandchildren, and because of the school closings due to Covid-19 my grandchildren and I have been able to take small getaways to the mountains or the beach when they began to feel stressed.<\/p>\n
If it weren’t for all of my wonderful customers I would have probably changed careers again but I love when I see a smile on their face or they send an amazing email or text to me saying thank you, I enjoy shopping for products that are unique, shipped from the United States and when I can I really love finding eco-friendly products. This business has unlimited possibilities and Man! Oh, man, that’s a FANTASTIC feeling. So there is lots more to come and I hope you stay on this adventure with me because I hope to make it a long and enjoyable ride!<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/ejijiboutique.com","url_text":"ejijiboutique.com","main_services":"Handbags, Necklaces, Earrings, Bracelets, Rings, Jewelry Storage, Semi Precious Stones","image_1":"https:\/\/diib.com\/featuredmembers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/EJIJIBoutiqueLLC2.jpg.png","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"\n
