Paula Neeley

I am Paula Neeley. I work for a major retailer and grew up in retail. I have been in the business for 21 years.  I currently am full time at the regular job , but have two other businesses. I am a workaholic. I come from a retail family. We owned a music store and my mother and I ran 2 millinary stores.

I have worked in management for many years and travels opening store. I decided to stay in one place and went to work for an old established family owned company. Three years ago it was sold to a Charlotte family based company. It has been good to the associates that stayed.

I found a MLM that I researched for over 2 years and starting taking their products. After see the results,I joined. I have been with them 3 years. The business is Waiora. I find that the company is very family like. Everyone is willing to help have success. So far I am very pleased. I have reached Gold position and hoping to reach Ruby by the first of the year. This company is a diamond in the rough and is gradually getting to be known.

On top of Waiora, I have been with a direct sales company for 10 years. This is Longaberger Baskets. I have done very well with them. They are based in Newark,Ohio. This is a family based business started in 1986 and has grown into a large business. It is still run by the daughters of the founder, Dave Longaberger.  They manufacture hand-woven maple baskets, but have pottery,fabrics, and wrought iron. They have an area called The Homestead that guest can visit and see the baskets being made and shop in the Homestead Village. Ther is a replica of Dave's childhood home that shows how ten kids lived and in the workshed their dad starting making baskets. On any day that you visit you will see a member at the shed siging autographs for visitors . There is quite a following for the baskets.

As you can see, I am in 3 different areas and loving every minute. They all have some form of selling but are still unique.

I do have a family . A husband that can't believe that I do all this and still maintain a home life. Plus 5 cats that are my babies. Ever so often ,you can see me at the local animal shelter helping out and gathering support for a new nokill shelter going in the area where I work.  My life is full . I am just wanting to make it better and be able to direct my time myself and not by working for a large chain.
