From Nepal an American Success Story
Talking about successful women made me realize I didn't have to look very far to find one in my own circle of friends. Her name is Sweta and she is just a girl from Nepal who has become an American Success Story.
Although I have a plethora of acquaintances I have but a handful of very close friends. They come in a wide range of ages and they vary in professional passions but I can tell you one thing they all have in common, they are compassionate, hard working and honest.
One of those friends is a young woman who has achieved much and overcome even more in her life. She is an entrepreneur, an actor, a musician, a philanthropist, a survivor of teenage bullying and a woman of great compassion and accomplishment.
Where do I begin? How about at the beginning?
Coming from the small country of Nepal and the city of Kathmandu she moved to the United States at a very young age living on the East Coast with her loving family living what everyone thought was the "American Dream" but after years of being bullied by her classmates in high school this adventurous young girl decided to enter the United States Marine Corp.
Trying to escape the harsh reality of teenage life in the US she entered what would be the toughest job of her life. This seemed like the perfect place to rebuild her strength and her courage and to overcome the pain she had suffered during what should have been her wonder years. And she would tell you it did just that, "in the Marines we are all equal, eveyone is just trying to survive and come out on the other side."
What would become one of the most defining moments in her life came when it was discovered in her home country that she had entered the US Marine Corp.
You see she was the very first woman in her country to ever enter the military, the very first. Imagine the buzz created when it was discovered she had entered one of the toughest Military sectors in the world. She has become something of a National Treasure in her home country of Nepal and it is easy to see why.
After time spent building her self esteem in the Marines this charming young woman ventured out to the Gold Coast of California, the acting bug had caught her and as it turned out she was pretty good at it, getting many side roles on TV shows and even on set for a few big screen movies. She had overcome so much in her life and it appeared she was living the life we all dream of, yet still her passions were not ignited.
What was she looking for? What was her true calling? Where did she belong?
When she started to look at her life it looked like she belonged back home with her family on the East Coast and this would be where her true story of success and love was about to unfold.
She entered the world of beauty, going back to school and getting her education in skincare. She had no idea she would enjoy this field of study so much as it happens she not only loved it but she was very good at it. Five years later she is now a Master Esthetician, a Permanent Makeup Artist, a Master Level Makeup Artist and an Instructor for all of these professions. She now teaches at a very successful post secondary skincare institute and shares her love of beauty with her students.
She started the Care for Karnali foundation giving back to the children of Nepal by providing the children of Karnali the opportunity to receive an education through scholarships, and in turn, empowering them to better their future and all aspects of their lives. http://www.careforkarnali.com/
She started her own skincare and cosmetic business where she shares skincare products and the business opportunity with other women who have a passion for skincare and beauty. She empowers other women and gives back some of what was taken away from her as a teenage girl. You can visit her company website here www.bomblashes.com
She fell in love with a wonderful man who is her biggest supporter and they are engaged to be married in the fall.
Semper fi is exactly who this woman is, always faithful to those she cares for and those she wants to empower.
She is a woman to love and a woman to admire and I am blessed to call her a friend.
Peace

Is there really work from home success?
Have you ever wondered if you really could work from home?
If so, what could you do to make a decent living and earn enough to be successful?
Here is what I tell friends when they want to know more about direct sales, multi-level marketing and work from home opportunitites and is it possible to be successful in these jobs?
I share a story about an amazing young woman.
From Shy to Success:
She joined her Direct Sales company because she was looking for a "work from home opportunity". What could this art student and stay at home Mom do that could get her a small income so she could have some spending money and get her involved socially with others? She decided she wanted to share the products that she had used that had cleared up her Adult Acne. She already knew they worked and that they were quality products plus she hadher own personal testimonial to share.
She is a "Stay at Home Mom" and she was living in a new town with no close friends living near by. She had less than 100 friends on her Facebook page and she had never even heard of Direct Sales.
When she started to discuss her desire to join a direct sales business she was discouraged by many who said those companies are just scams. Yet, she decided to take a Leap of Faith on herself and give it a try. She spent every day reading every piece of information her sponsor sent to her. She did her research and learned everything she could about the company. She started following others in the company who were successful and inspirational. She slowly began to gain courage in herself and began reaching out to meet new people. In her own quiet way she had become a networker.
She began to make 100's of new friends online and in person and showed strong signs of leadership. She made videos showing others her beautiful skin and the fun she was having working from home while meeting new people. She was talking to people all over the US, Europe and even New Zealand. Four months into her new business she was making so many new friends she could barely keep up.
She was teaching her sponsor new ways to network and make friends. She never hesitated to share all she was learning with others and taught most of her sponsors team how to do some of the things she was doing to be successful.
Six months after starting her new business venture, her company and her team sold over $10,000 in products. In month seven she made enough money to purchase her very first new car.
You never need to ask me if Direct Sales work?
I am watching it work and it is changing lives everyday "one in particular" and I am so happy to call her a friend and I am so proud of the leader she has become.
She made me a promise last week at her company convention, a promise that still brings tears to my eyes, "I will walk across that stage as one of the highest ranking people in this company next year and I will be taking you with me" Yes!!! She will be leading the way.
I love you for your courage and your passion. You are a true hero to me.
You are "A SUCCESS STORY".
