Testimonial
Liz Tindell - Independent PartyLite Consultant
My Story
I had worked in a Bank for 20+ years, as well as being a foster carer, offering respite care. In 2004, I gave up my bank job and became a full time carer, whilst my husband continued with his nursing career.
Over a period of time, although I loved being at home with the children, I realised that I missed the adult conversation and meeting people and that I had lost a lot of my confidence. I decided that I would like a job that fitted around the children and my husband’s shifts, would allow me to attend all the fostering meetings and would give me all school holidays off. Where was I going to find this job?
I had been introduced to PartyLite several years ago, attended parties regularly and absolutely loved their candles and accessories. I had always avoided holding a party myself as we lived in a very busy household with 5 foster children but in September 2007, the hostess offers were too good for me to miss. My husband and I were amazed at how much free product we received!
The consultant talked briefly about joining the company and I was hooked! This was the job that I had been looking for. I was very nervous as I lacked so much confidence but my first parties were with people I knew and this gave me a boost. After my first month, I had achieved bonus level and received loads of free products.
Although I understood the benefits of being a Unit Leader, I wasn’t really interested, I just loved having a social life and getting paid for it but things changed. In September
2007, my husband had been signed off work with arthritis and his condition steadily deteriorated, culminating in September 2008 with him having to give up work on health grounds. I worked harder at the business to try and replace his income and it paid off. By November 1st 2008, I had built up a team and become a unit Leader. Since then, I have not looked back. I have achieved most of the many promotions that the company have offered and in February this year, I achieved free places for my husband & I to go on the company’s luxury holiday to Malta.
I can not believe that so much can be achieved in such a short space of time. Although I am still a little nervous at times, my confidence has dramatically increased, I have made some fantastic friends and I get paid to have a social life.
