Introduction
Its not as bad as you think.
Hi everyone, my name is LaToya Gay and I have been a stay/work at home mother almost 4 years now. I have worked in the corporate world since I was 16 and although I learned a lot and gained the knowledge that helped me start my own business I desired more. I desired to be at home with my children when they got home from school. I desired to have dinner ready once my hubby walked in the door from a long day at work. I wanted more for my family and I was determined to make it happen! I knew that God had something prepared for me but I was fearful of moving forward and my actions grew stagnant.
There were many times where I appeared to be all over the place and trying different things because I was not clear of my purpose. I surrounded myself around people that I thought were for me but realized that in the end they were only there for a season and had to be released immediately afterwards. I did not have the faith in God that I should have to walk towards my destiny boldly and unashamed. With me now being 29 years old (yes, it took that long!) I finally realized how important my purpose really is and through much prayer and meditation God revealed to me the desires of my heart.
For years I went from job to job, college to college unaware that I was not being the role model that my children needed to see from mommy. I was not being consistent, stable or proactive in anything that I did. It seemed like I would start something and then after a few months I would get tired of doing it and start something else. That is not the way to go about life and that is not how you want to live your life. You have to pray and write down your vision and allow God to give you the direction that you need to move forward!
By the end of 2012, God had not only revealed to me the name of my business but he also showed me things and people that had to be removed out of my life in order for me to be successful and remain focused. I know you may be wondering why I am sharing all of this with you or you may be receiving the confirmation that you have been praying for to help you walk forward boldly and be the entrepreneur that God has called you to be! Being inconsistent, unstable, lazy, confused, and whatever else that is not of God is not the direction for your life.
I was determined to start 2013 on a stable mind and become more consistent and that is how VirtuallyNSync, LLC was birthed.
I absolutely love what I do and I have a passion to help people like you find work at home opportunities that best suits your goals and/or dreams. Now this guide is not going to be the typical boring work at home manual that leaves you wondering what next at the end. To be honest it is not as bad as you think! You are probably at the point where you want to give up but I am going to help you get started, teach you how to stand out from the rest and show you the best places to look but you have to be ready to get started!
