The Long Story:
I discovered Scentsy all the way back in the Fall of 2008. I was wandering the aisles of a local church craft show when I came across the most amazing product-Scentsy. I knew this would be perfect for my public school kindergarten classroom because we could not have candles and quite frankly, kids stink!
I purchased my first warmer all that time ago and have never regretted it.
After using my very first Scentsy warmer in my classroom for a few months, I found myself in need of more wax, so I reached out to the consultant to get more. Since I am a frugal queen, and I knew how party plan businesses worked, I asked if I could hostess a party. However, I did not have time to clean my house or the money to go out and buy refreshments. (Remember-I was a public school teacher. I was also a mom of two kids at the time and pinching pennies to make ends meet.) That consultant loaned me her scent testers and gave me some catalogs. I placed those items in the school teachers’ break room and sent out an email to the entire school staff. Within a week’s time, I had acquired a large amount of orders from the teachers and staff. Now, I had taken the time to read through all the details in the catalog including the part about becoming a Scentsy consultant myself. I had studied the amount of money it cost to join ($99 at that time), and I had figured up what my commissions would be on the amount of orders I had collected. I knew I would be money ahead and have the opportunity to make more money where that was coming from. It sounded like a win-win situation, so I called the consultant and let her know I would be signing up and keeping all those orders for myself!
Now, let me be honest with you. I really didn’t expect a real business out of this. Honestly I really never even thought that I would make another dime off Scentsy. I had joined several companies in the past and spent lots of money trying to make money with those companies. I was not going to fall into that trap again. But this Scentsy thing was different! I made enough money with that first commission check to cover my start-up costs on top of paying for everything that I wanted to purchase for myself. Then, month after month, my friends would reach out to me wanting to buy more of that great smelling stuff. I have made money every single month since signing up.
The real magic happened when my friends started seeing me in super cute new shoes and a few new outfits. Since they were teachers like me, they were also on tight budgets and asked how I was affording new things. I let them in on the little secret that I was actually making real money with this side hustle business. A few of them decided to give it a go to, and what do you know, they experienced success as well.
I taught for the rest of that year and one year more, and then I was able to take a leap into freedom and quit that job that had me tied down. You see, I loved teaching, and I know I was a good teacher. But I was exhausted at the end of the day because I had given all of my energy to those kids in my classroom leaving little leftover for my kids and my husband. I never really knew just how stressed out I was until I walked away from the classroom. Then it became clear.
I have now been working my Scentsy business full-time since May 2010 and never regretted the decision to walk away from teaching.
Scentsy has given me a life of freedom!
I spent several years after that being a fully involved parent. I was a homeroom mom. I volunteered at the school and also at a few local non-profits. I was present for school parties and field trips. I attended rehearsals, recitals, practices, games and regattas. But perhaps the best freedom came when I was able to really pursue my love of travel and mission work. Not only was I able to just pick up and go whenever I desired, but Scentsy even paid for many trips that I earned through their incentives. On top of the benefits of expense-paid travel, Scentsy allowed me to fundraise for the many mission trips I have been blessed to go on. Through missions, I have traveled to Haiti (9 times), Honduras, Peru, and India as well as leading a few in-state humanitarian aid trips to Baton Rouge and Houston.
Now that my kids are all grown and out on their own, I spend my time hitting local estate sale, junking, and antiquing. I love decorating and exploring fashion. Of course I am still traveling TONS and anticipate doing that until the day I die.
Of course that is all possible because I am happily working my Scentsy business. I love meeting new customers and mentoring new team members on their own path to success. I would love to do the same for you!
