About Me
I am the third born in a family of four siblings. In the early days of childhood, I did not undergo hardship, but life turned around when my mum lost her job. Life was not a bed of roses for us after that. We moved and were kicked out from house to house because of not being able to pay rent.
When I was 21 years, I got my firstborn daughter, and that's when I realised that I had to work. I started a business of selling secondhand clothes so that I could meet the daily expenses of raising a child. From there I managed to start my beauty business in Oriflame, which is what am currently doing.
I now have two daughters and a son. My eldest daughter (now 13 years) wants to become just like her mum (beautician) and my son (7 years) a pilot. The youngest still has a couple of years before I can know what she aspires to be(1 year, 3 months).
When I get some free time (it's normally hard sometimes for a mother of three), I really love to read, especially in areas regarding personal development.
My Business
I sell beauty products from Oriflame. Oriflame beauty products are natural skin care products derived from fruits, plants and flowers. Most of my clients love the products because they are not harmful to them and also because of the personalised advice they get before they purchase the products. For every sale I make I get 23% profit. I also earn up to 21% commission on every person I introduce to Oriflame.
I really love what I do because it helps to educate my children and also regrow my business to higher levels. I am also planning to build a home for my children. I aspire to help children who are orphaned and in need.
Loan Proposal
I will purchase more catalogues to increase my business volume. So far I've realised the more catalogues I have, the better my business gets. I will get catalogues worth $40 and with the rest ($8) I'll add more samples.
