It was fun selling such neat products, but I was definitely not making any profit. In fact, I was probably buying more for myself than selling.
Then, I discovered Athena's.
I was fresh out of graduate school, planning to stop my direct selling business, but also having trouble finding work at the time. I attended an Athena's party (by Goddess Michelle), and had so much fun. I was encouraged to consider becoming a Goddess, but I didn't go for it right away.
When I decided to join Athena's, I wanted to work on being comfortable with public speaking. I had already done quite a bit of performing, but was still very scared of doing anything on my own. Funny thing about Athena's...you're never really on your own.
Yes, this is my own business. Yes, I can control the amount of parties I have. But Michelle and the Home Office (and now Amy, my upline), are never too far. They helped me through the entire experience, from building me up to keeping me motivated.
The Training Team is fantastic! When I signed on (I signed up for the $250 kit), I opted to attend the 2 days of training in Woonsocket, RI. The first day of training was about the business. The second day is about sex education and meeting all the new products.
But, there's so much more! The company is really good about keeping in touch - you always hear from the Mother Goddess herself! I'm always getting party leads from the Home Office and from friends, and I don't often feel overwhelmed with the amount of work I have.
Three times a year, we're able to attend Sales Meetings that are always so much fun and energizing! I always come back super excited (if you want to look back at previous posts about Sales Meetings, you can read exactly how excited I am). The Athena's community is strong and supportive.
Now, 3 years later, I'm still proud to be an Athena's Goddess. Though I became a Goddess for supplemental income, I continue being an Athena's Goddess because of all that I share with my parties.
While there's a lot of technical and logistical information to keep track of (it is a business after all), I love doing the parties. Lugging those toys to people's living rooms and talking and laughing about sex and pleasure - it's all so worth it.
Not only do I get to provide a route to further self-love, but I get to promote self-care. I get to walk away feeling like there are more women, men, couples who are able to have fulfilling sexual experiences, and hopefully that will lead to more fulfilling life experiences.
I want to share that feeling even more. How about $99 for a $250 kit?
If you're looking for supplemental or even a complete source of income, if you want to make a difference in your life and others, if you want a community that will support you through ups and downs and sadnesses and celebrations...Athena's is a wonderful choice.
