Can you make a million working from home?

This Canadian mother-daughter duo did. Here are the secrets of their success.

By Lara Ceroni

Lara Ceroni: We have to know: Are you both qualified as certifiable millionaires?

Marilyn: (laughs) Together as business partners we are blessed with an abundant income. We found a company we love! There is no magic formula to success, really. When you align yourself with a company that has integrity, you naturally have this passion and enthusiasm that sells.

Lara Ceroni:
What advice do you have for women who are looking to start a new career or gain financial success?

Marilyn: Dream big! Love what you do, be passionate about your business and the product you work with. Your actions must follow your intentions – be willing to put in the sweat and tears to create success. No one makes a million overnight! Because you are in control of your success, you need to constantly remain creative in your approach. Turn obstacles into opportunities and creative ideas into tangible results.

Lara Ceroni:
Given the current economic situation, how do you maintain a strong business?

Sarah:
We are very aware of the economic state of our country and across the globe, however we do not make it an excuse to fail. We stay ahead of the trends and fads in our industry and work with a business model that is timeless. People are looking to regain control of their financial security. You cannot wait for the government to bail you out – you need to bail yourself out!

Lara Ceroni: How is it working as mother-daughter business partners?

Marilyn:
Magnificent! We allow our qualities to drive the business to success. I bring the wisdom, teaching and experience whereas Sarah has the youthful vision of new possibilities.

Sarah: My mom has always been a mentor and an amazing role model to me. I couldn't imagine doing this with anyone else. People mistake us for being sisters all the time. I definitely keep her young!
