 My
Story - Carolyn Wightman
For the last 3+ decades I’ve had the pleasure of
owning a business that has given me both flexible time and an
ongoing six-figure income. I started with a personal
commitment to use eco-friendly and health-promoting products. I
unexpectedly backed into creating my own marketing company and
career. At first, what I most wanted was a way to continue my Peace
Corps commitment and to utilize my expensive college degree without
being locked into a ‘real job.’ What I got was lifetime
possibilities for leadership development along with a powerful
business vehicle to be ‘Part of the Solution, not Part of the
Problem.’
By the time I started my own family, most of my classmates were already sending their kids to college. Even as I’ve struggled with the same issues of child rearing and family balance that my colleague moms have, I’ve managed a multi-million dollar business from home without ever having to sit in traffic or miss school events. We continue to enjoy a lifestyle we love, traveling the globe with family, now including college football games on our schedule, and all the while we are expanding our international marketing team.
Specifically, I market an elite line of products for home and health. Right now I specialize in working with busy athletes – ones who are passionate about being drug-free and natural. They are committed to having their training leave them with long-term strength and good health rather than leaving them creaky, grouchy, sick, or even injured. I support them in weaving their way through the confusing maze of product claims and labeling, and I have the good fortune that these customers range from maxed-out teenagers and ho bby-level seniors to elite Olympic athletes.
We enjoy our waterfront tropical lifestyle. Over the past decade, my world-class fly fishing guide husband has been able to back off on his charter career and take the time to teach our son and grandkids the boating and fishing life we both love.
