What does PEACE feel like to you?  Is it having all the "things," or just having total peace inside, no matter what you have, or don't have, while you are doing this thing called LIFE?

Hi:) My name is Jeanine Fusco-Lano, and this is my story.

I am a wife, Mom of two adult children, the youngest of 7 kids, and a faith-led entrepreneur, primarily as a Professional Network Marketer for 30 years.  I have been in the Health & Wellness and Beauty/Personal Care space. I also hold a certification in Mental Wellness Coaching.  

Before that, I held a few positions.  I was a Corporate Human Resources professional, a C-suite Executive Admin., and held roles in Sales and Marketing, Customer Service, Secretarial (before we were called Admins.), and Banking.

My corporate career started when I accepted a full time job in collections at a bank at age 18, making $12k a year.  I also did network marketing part time, and attended college.  

The seed into network marketing was actually planted by my mother, however, at age 10.  It was a hot, summer day when I told her I was "bored."  Telling your parent you're bored, almost always ends up not working in your favor - right?

She handed me this little catalog, sprinkled with colorful pictures of lipsticks, perfumes, lotions and more.  She told me to go back outside, knock on the neighbors' doors, and ask them if they wanted to buy something from this book.   That was my "boredom" assignment.  I think my first sale was a lipstick!
 

As a teenager, and into adulthood, I dabbled in this great profession to make extra money.  Then again, at the age of 26, when I purchased a home.  Network Marketing was a Godsend, then, as I needed to rely on it occasionally, to help close the gap on my mortgage payments. I also needed money for my brand new hotrod (my 1991 Firebird that I bought in 1990! Yes, you read that right.)  Against the wise advice of my brother and father, who were mechanics, I "had" to have THE brand new car! 

 It came hot off the truck from California, and not "HOT" as in stolen - like hot off the press, with all the bells an whistles I customized, including T-Tops! Those were good times, but not easy. I worked hard for all of it, including working 4 jobs back then*, one of which was Network Marketing - always Network Marketing. It always paid, and it still does.  My corporate income funded the majority of both of those big-ticketed items, but my Network Marketing money helped me supplement when needed.  I could always fall back on that, even on an as-needed basis.

*No lie on 4 jobs at once, and some college - Daytime I was a full-time Secretary at ICI Americas; night time I worked as a data transcriber for a clinical study on psycho-Pharma drugs at AstraZeneca, as needed, I sang private events (mostly weddings and funerals), AND did Network Marketing).  If ever I fell short, I knew that I could make some calls, and earn some cash.  Network Marketing, with God, always had my back.

Fast-forward to my late 30's, I became a wife and Mom, and after maternity leave, I did not want to go back into corporate America.  I wanted to be home with our kids, and when they were both under 6, my father had been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.  I was able to be there and spend as much time as I wanted and needed, and not have to report-in to ANYONE.  Also, watching him go through that illness, my quest for more research and education, and living even healthier, became an obsession.   My Dad was healthy and did many of the right things, so I began deep diving.  I wanted my pulse on the future of our health and wellness - as much as I could control; and, I still research deeply today.

Because I chose to make this business model work for me, I was able to be home with our kids and watch them grow up, while calling all the shots.  It gives me the ability to breath easier, and have PEACE.  It hasn't been all roses though, and some days it's still challenging with its peaks and valleys.  Like all businesses/industries, the good new is, it's a handy tool to have in your back pocket. You can either build something significant, which takes grit, consistency, patience, and the ability to be coached, when needed, or just causally work it to help in times of need.  I've been in both places, and have enjoyed each season.

Why do I love Network Marketing so much?

* It was an answer to prayer (many times over).  

*If in the wellness space, it offers healthier and, often safer products, before they reach the mainstream market, which is one of the distinctive aspects of network marketing.  

*More friends all around the world.

*The ability to help and champion others, which I love

* A feeling of belonging,/inclusion and showing up for myself and others

*A very positive work environment - very uplifting and FUN

*The ability to work independently and with others

*To work my own schedule from anywhere around the world

*Travel

*The ability to give more

*Personal growth and development at a level unlike anything I'd ever received in the corporate environment

AND

*The privilege to coach, and become friends with, some of the best thought-leaders in the world, and have the opportunity to pass that knowledge on to others who choose to work with me.

The BEST BONUS GIFT is that I learned about the gift of Mindset, and how properly training our brain can work for us, or against us, in every area of our lives.  They've also learned, and have already implemented that concept that hard work and tenacity, coupled with kindness and respect, pays off in perpetuity.

Putting God first - having faith, trust, and belief in knowing that He always provides no mater what, and always believing that "He will do it for me"  I learned this, just a few years ago from my dear friend, theologian and wise counselor - Brenda Wright, PhD. Psychology.

Do you believe that too?
