In the fall of 2002, a pivotal chapter in my life began when my husband and I inherited a longstanding family business founded by his father in 1946. At that time, due to our own careers, we entrusted its management to a seasoned leader, believing the business was in good hands. Little did we know, financial instability was brewing beneath the surface.

By 2007, we faced a stark wake-up call: the business was drowning in debt and teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. This revelation forced me to make a crucial decision that would redefine my professional journey. Initially, I thought I could balance my leadership role in a Direct Sales Company with rescuing the family business. However, it quickly became apparent that the family business challenge demanded my undivided attention.

Stepping into the fray, I conducted a thorough audit, tackling one managerial and financial issue after another. It was evident that our marketing efforts were inefficient and costly. Taking the reins, I revamped our marketing strategy, focusing on enhancing our SEO and launching targeted online campaigns. These changes not only cut costs but also significantly boosted our sales.

The turnaround was arduous, demanding over 60 hours of work per week and sleepless nights. Yet, through perseverance and strategic planning, I not only stabilized the business but also set it on a path to growth, leading to a successful sale in 2018.

During those tumultuous years, I often found myself wishing for a resource like SPARK from My Freedom Digital—a tool that could have eased the burden of managing and growing both businesses. Its absence then fueled my resolve to ensure other women wouldn't face similar challenges alone.

In 2010, I returned to my role in the Direct Sales company, only to face another upheaval in 2011 with the sudden death of our 57-year-old Manager/Partner. This setback necessitated my full focus on the family business, leading me to sadly, step away from my Direct Sales Position permanently.

This series of challenges inspired me to establish My Freedom Digital. Understanding the unique needs of women in Direct Sales and entrepreneurship, I developed an all-in-one software solution tailored to help them thrive. My Freedom Digital is not just a business tool; it’s a testament to the power of transformation and strategic support.

Today, as the founder of My Freedom Digital, I am dedicated to empowering women in business. We provide the latest innovative tools along with the training and support that propels their success.

I am happy to say, my journey from crisis to empowerment has fueled my mission: I believe it is a privilege for me to help women achieve remarkable growth and realize their heartfelt goals and dreams.

You Are The Best!
