Overcoming The Overwhelm

The past few weeks have been very trying. I've been stressed, scared, happy and hopeful. Just when I feel I have my footing, whoosh. It's gone.
Sometimes you have an ACTUAL person to battle against - a specialist, a teacher, an administrator, an insensitive family member, a total stranger, an ass of an employer, or your own stubborn child.
SOMETIMES your opponent is less concrete - a disease, a disability, a mile stone that keeps moving away, or skill your child JUST can't seem to master. And sometimes you end up fighting against YOURSELF - subduing your fears, conquering your doubts, attacking your insecurities. REGARDLESS of the foe, you're in it to WIN it. Surrender is NOT an option. You may negotiate and agree to a treaty, or observe a ceasefire, or you may scorch of the earth and take no prisoners. BUT you'll fight the good fight as long as there's ANY fight left in you - and then you'll FIGHT some MORE.
Bubs is scheduled for a Bronchoscopy on the third and countless other appointments. I've given a months notice to his daycare, and will follow shortly with my weekday employer. I'll be working weekends and nights so I can stay home with him during the day. It's the only way to give him the support he needs. And you know what? That's a-okay with me. Screw other people taking care of him when I could do it. So what if it's going to be hard? I didn't get into this motherhood business thinking it would be easy. Granted, not THIS hard, but whatever. I am BLESSED to have this life. I am STRONG enough for it. 
He didn't nap today. It's 7:45pm, and he is STILL awake. I had plans to get the house organized, to get caught up with laundry(to finally finish that ONE load that I have had to rewash for forgetting it was in there) to get caught up with my writing...welp. 
Wrong, Erika. Wrong. But that can wait. Because right now, I'm rocking my baby, and that is a thing to be THANKFUL for. 
One day, I'll look back on the therapies, appointments, sleepless nights, napless days, tears, triumphs, ignorance, heartaches, and struggles. And I'll smile.

So...What the HECK is this Coaching thing?

Most of you know that my son, Liam, turned two recently. Looking back, it kinda blows my mind at how much has changed in the last 2 years. Motherhood joys and challenges included, I am happier, healthier and SO excited for the future. Thinking about how much more will change in the next year makes me both nervous and exited. 

In the next year I plan to:
-Travel with my family to the West Coast twice, Nashville in July, and another trip in the fall
-Pay off all debt
-Put at least $5000 in Savings for Bubs
-Enroll Buba in a pre school that is going to help him succeed
-Work only on weekdays, then quit my job. No more working for someone else
-Quadruple my current monthly income by the end of 2015

None of this would be possible without the amazing business I am creating, and the amazing people I work with everyday, and have grown into lifelong friends. In November of 2013 I hit the heaviest weight that I have recorded. 214 pounds. Sharing this journey has NOT been easy, BUT it has been so rewarding, and more than that, I have grown so much as a person. 

I'm not any different than you. I'm a busy mom, I have a TIGHT monthly budget, maybe some debt, and the desire for MORE. 
More time
More money
More freedom
More.

I have have started creating a business that allows me just that. I work at it when I want, and when I have the time. I can work on this as I work a corporate job, making ends meet as a single mom. I LOVE that ANYONE with the heart and drive can be successful. My earning potential is limitless, and I can rest easy knowing that my company offers THE BEST products on the market, that change lives. No gimmicks, quick fixes, no scams, just QUALITY, life changing solutions. The proof is endless. I no longer fall asleep worried (well most of the time) that things won't get better. I fall asleep visualizing my DREAMS. I no longer wake, dreading the day to day things that cost money and pull me away from my son. I wake restless. Restless to tackle my day. Restless to work on myself. Restless to GET. IT. DONE.

If you have ever thought that you deserved more for your life, wanted more for your kids, wanted to be a part of an amazing community of people, wanted some security, wanted to FINALLLY get rid of your debt, maybe make a little money to use for vacation, look no further. Aren't your dreams worth 5 days? I can SHOW you how VALUABLE and INCREDIBLE this opportunity is. I can answer the questions you might have held back on asking. 

Join me for a FREE, no obligation, 5 day online sneak peek into what I do everyday, how I make money, and how I have grown my business through social media. We are starting MONDAY
