Hello, My name is Riva. I'm 29 and a mother of two little ones. I'm also a wife and successful business owner. Years ago when my husband and I got married, we knew we certain aspirations but we never forsaw the bumps in the road life would place before us. My husband is an active duty Marine. He is often gone for long periods of time. Once we had our little ones, we suddenly had a huge issue before us. How was I to work and find a good job that would cover the cost of daycare for two children? Not many companies were willing to hire me, knowing that I moved often and sometimes we had to move without much notice.

I had always possessed an entrepreneurial spirit and set out to be successful AND stay home with our babies. In a period of two years, I investigated, researched, tried, tested and worked long hours into the night to find that dream. I kept meeting with dead end after dead end. With the frustration mounting for both my husband and I, I tried one last thing. A friend of mine had called me and presented me with an opportunity.

I listened. I figured why not. I don't lose anything by listening but I do gain information. What I heard rocked my world and new possibilities opened up right in front of me. I decided to try, just one last time. I knew my husband was past his limit with my failed attempts so far. However he stood by me to try again. From that point on the life changing differences in my family and in our future can not only be felt but seen and measured.

It was the greatest lesson I've ever learned. No matter how many times you might fall, getting up again and going forward is the victory that makes life worth living!
