Beth Heilman

Hi, I'm Beth Heilman, an internet network marketer and coach.  I'm the creator of  HomeBizHearts.com as well as TheHomeBizNetwork.com and GreatSkinForLife.com.  I help folks who MUST work from home learn to make their living online like I do.  

      It's a real blast working online and if it's something you'd like to know more about I'll be happy to share with you how I do it. But first, let me tell you a little more about myself... 

Up until a couple of years ago, if you asked me about myself I'd have said I led a pretty uneventful life.

I grew up in Chillicothe, Ohio a small town in the southern part of the state. Got married at 18 and left Ohio, never to return. I ended up in Las Vegas.

Over the next 20 years I had three kids (actually I have four, but he didn't come along til later), slipped in a couple of years of college and decided the drafting degree I was trying to get wasn't what I wanted to do when I grew up. After a few attempts at working retail sales, then running a commercial kitchen for a local church and pre-school I came to the conclusion that that wasn't exactly my calling either.

One day I sat down and had a really good talk with myself (scary, I know) and tried to figure out which direction I wanted my career to go in. For me, it had to be a career. Something I could really throw myself in to. I asked myself two important questions:

1) What am I good at?

2) What do I really enjoy doing?

The answer surprised everyone, including to a small extent, me. I loved looking at model homes. You know the ones I'm talking about, where you walk in the front door and they're decorated so beautifully you never want to leave. And,  I'd learned a ton about real estate and loans in the process of buying our first home in 1992. As anyone who's ever bought a house will tell you, it can be pretty stressful. I knew that if I could help someone else get through the buying process and walk up to their own front door with their keys in their hand, I would have fulfilled my purpose in life.

For the next 16 1/2 years I did. I worked hard and didn't take a whole lot of time off (my bad). Anyone who's ever worked commission-only sales will tell you that the stress level can get pretty intense. If you don't sell something or it doesn't close, you don't get paid.

I was really good at New Home Sales.

Las Vegas has very few major builders and I was lucky enough to work for two of the best. I racked up a few awards made really good money, and most important to me, made a lot of happy homeowners along the way. Eventually I divorced, my three older kids grew up and made lives of their own and things cruised along on auto-pilot. I settled into a comfortable, though sometimes hectic life with my youngest son.

Life was good- until the housing market crashed and burned.

The day I got laid off is still etched in my brain. I got called into a meeting at 8 in the morning (on my day off, no less) and was told that because of the decline in the housing market and the necessary cutbacks, my position was being eliminated. Translation: Beth you have no job. In one 15 minute meeting I went from making six figures a year to unemployment.

I was numb.

To say I handled what happened with grace and dignity would be a lie. I cried, I screamed (after I left my bosses office. I did still had my pride, ya know) and I went to all the usual "why me?" stuff one goes through when life has just pulled the rug out from under them.

OK, now what?

What does a girl do when the career she'd hoped to retire from suddenly evaporates, never to return?

It's not like I could go get a job with another builder. Everyone was downsizing. Some builders closed up shop altogether. I had a nice savings account, but that wouldn't last forever.

My health wasn't all that hot either. Remember when I said I hardly ever took any time off? I wasn't kidding. The only vacation, other than going home to visit my family in Ohio, was when I turned 40. A friend and I went to Puerto Vallarta for 5 days. It was a hoot.

Well, all that non-stop working and high stress landed me with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. If you're not familiar with it, Fibro makes you hurt so bad it feels like a truck just ran over you. It's not like the flu where the aches go away after awhile. The pain never leaves. Chronic Fatigue keeps you in a constant state of exhaustion. At any given time during the day at work I could have crawled under my desk and gone to sleep. Some folks get one or the other, I had both. ( I never do anything halfway :-)  )

Enough about that. Back to the "what to do" thing.

When I'd seen the housing market start to slow down, I knew there had to be a Plan B somewhere down the road and I'd been doing some research. One of the buyers where I was selling homes was doing something called dropshipping on the internet. I'd never heard of it and the most experience I'd ever had with the internet to that point was checking my email or looking up the latest news on MSN. Shoot, I couldn't even copy and paste! Right click what?

Needless to say, once I started learning more about the internet and internet marketing, I was hooked.

Fast forward just a tad. After a pretty steep learning curve, chasing a lot of bunny trails and shiny objects, I have once again found my calling working from home, marketing my network marketing business and coaching business on the internet. I have two websites; HomeBizHearts.com and GreatSkinForLife.com; and a blog TheHomeBizNetwork.com (yes me, the girl who couldn't copy and paste). Because of what I've learned (and applied) about Attraction Marketing, income is coming in from several different places.

Now I spend my work days helping folks who may be facing some of the same challenges I had make the transition from working a traditional job to working from home. There are lots of different reasons why people don't just want, but need to work from home.

• A chronic health condition
• Forced out of a job because of the economy
• An elderly or chronically ill family member that needs extra care
• A child with special needs (both of my sons are special needs kids)

Maybe you're like I was and got hit with a few of these. Whatever the reason, I know I can help you because I've been there.

I know how crazy it can get when the latest internet guru's guru says that their system is the be-all-and-end-all-buy-it-now-before-we-run-out product only to see them hawking something different the next month.

After spending thousands of dollars and months of frustration trying to figure this internet thing out, there is one place I found that put all the "pieces parts" of internet marketing together.

Renegade University has been a life saver and time saver. It helped me to block out all the internet "noise" and concentrate my marketing efforts on the methods that work best for me in my business.

I encourage all my coaching students and folks on my network marketing team to jump into Renegade University (and Renegade Professional too) because it puts everything you need for a complete internet marketing education into one place. Yes, that was a commercial. Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's that good. Now, back to our regularly scheduled bio.

If you can relate to any of my story and are looking for a way to work from home, I'd love to talk to you.

There were many times I was tempted to give up on my dream of working from home. If it hadn't been been for the help and support of some truly wonderful people who cared (and knew what they were doing in the internet marketing arena), I'd probably be wearing a blue vest at Walmart right about now. (No offense meant to blue-vested Walmart workers. I love them)

If someone hadn't reached out to me with help and hope, my health would really be in the toilet (sorry, but it's the truth) and my son would be in child care instead of me taking care of him. Luckily my story didn't end up there and yours doesn't have to either.

Let me be that help for you.

You can drop me an email anytime at Beth@HomeBizHearts.com. I also offer coaching that can either help you get started in your business or to help you get back on track if things have derailed a little bit.

To Your Success,
Sonrisas (smiles),
