"You're doing what?"

I recently had a conversation with a new dear friend about how crazy hectic our lives are.  And she pointed out to me just how busy J and I are. She's right!  I knew that we had a lot of irons in the fire, but when I really sat down and looked at it, we have a TON of them!  But we love it this way!  J and I are always looking to expand our knowledge, learn new skills and grow as people.  And if there is a way to do that AND to financially benefit our family - that's a win-win!  It is something that we have been trying to impart to our children, too, that if you can do it well and be successful the best person to work for is yourself.  If you need something done, learn the skill and learn how to do it yourself!  We've taught them about changing the oil and belts in the car, basic carpentry, animal care, gardening, cooking, etc.

Now, I haven't always been like this - even though I was raised to be self-sufficient.  I got lazy. There was a time in my life where I honestly just found it easier to be able to pay someone to do something for me.  If there was a service that I could afford, I had it.  To be entirely truthful, I got a bit of a rush out of being able to afford it.  It was almost a status symbol - which is a very ugly thing to admit.  But then I got to a point in my life where I found that I actually had forgotten the skills I had learned in my childhood, and realized that by allowing others to do something for me I was actually cheating myself out of the satisfaction of completing a challenge.  Thankfully I now look at almost everything and think "I can do that".  That shift in my thinking is what has led me to the life I have now, in all its crazy glory!

One of the first steps that I took toward that shift was partnering with Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields.  I had tried a direct sales business years ago and I was terrible at it - rarely making sales and never meeting any goals.  There are a lot of direct sales and network marketing companies out there, and I am certainly not taking the position that they are no good.  But I do want to point out some of the reasons why I chose R+F. About 3 years ago I saw a friend of mine who had partnered with Rodan + Fields and was having crazy success.  I watched and watched as her family was becoming more and more financially independent as she was achieving these goals and milestones in the company, and finally I messaged her and asked for more information.  I made the decision that night to invest in myself this time, rather than to buy into a company or a "scheme".  I purchased a business kit and became a consultant with R+F.  The reason why I say I partnered with the Doctors is because that really is what happened.  I own my R+F business outright, and it is an inheritable business for my children.  Not only am I building an income right now, but I am also securing an income for them in the future.

When I first heard about R+F and allowed my friend to tell me about it, one of the things that really struck me was the credibility of the doctors.  I'm sure you've heard of their other amazing product for acne - ProActiv! These are two Stanford-trained dermatologists who still have an active practice in the San Fransisco Bay Area.  That's right, you can make an appointment to go see them!  But, if you'd like to save on the co-pay and the wait time, you can just order their clinical grade products for everything from acne, sensitive skin, sun damage, wrinkles, redness, etc. on my personal website.

That was another thing - I have a website.  MY OWN website.  No one has to go to an impersonal corporate website and remember my consultant ID number or anything like that.  I don't have to take orders, handle payments, deliver products - that is all handled through the website itself.  AND as part of my business, the website has a back office section that has all of my business information.  Come tax time, I just log in and print off my reports and I am ready to go.  For the record, my personal site is https://jessical.myrandf.biz/

Another great point - all of my purchases are a business expense.  My business kit was a business expense that I was able to write off at the end of the year.  Because we are a word-of-mouth company, all of the products that I use myself and then tell people about (or share pictures of) is a business expense.  Which means that I'm able to write those off at the end of the year, too.  Any incentives, bonuses, giveaways, etc. that I may do during the year?  Business expense.

I'm not required to carry an inventory (although sometimes I do, just to have things on hand - once I had a friend who had a sunless tanner emergency and couldn't wait until her order would have been delivered. No problem, we had some locally for her to just pick up!).  I'm not required to have parties - I've occasionally had friends over for margaritas and to sample to products.  Sometimes I'll set out some samples at Starbucks or Chick Fil A while I am there, but having to schedule parties all the time?  Nope.  I run this entirely on my own time - that means that if there is a soccer game or field trip, I don't miss it because I have to be "at work".  I am completely available for my family at any time, and that was my whole goal in the first place.

I'm not going to lie - the final thing that pushed me to jump into this business was the income potential.  I mean honestly, where else do you have the ability to make this kind of income for working primarily from your computer talking about what you wash your face with?  I literally get paid to wash my face and tell people about it.  That's crazy.  What's crazier?  These numbers:


Now, if you have any questions for me - I would love to hear them.  If you want more information on the products, let me know - I love to share them.  I've had amazing results, and I've seen amazing results.  All of our products come with a 60-day money back guarantee, so why not give it a shot?  If you're interested in more information about the business and what it takes to make it work or even how to get started - send me a message!  There is no pressure, no obligation, no hard feelings if you decide it isn't for you.  But here's the thing.  What if it IS?

My Business

You know those sayings like "mind your own business" or "keep your nose out of my business"?

That is not the case today!  Be as nosey as you want!  I want to share a bit about my business with you!  This business is what allows me to stay home with my littles during the day, to bless my husband with a happy wife and clean home when he gets home, and has been a great help to us financially!


I am proud to have partnered with two of the world’s most brilliant dermatologists and entrepreneurs, Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields! The world knows them as the creators of Proactiv. They are now doing for aging skin what they did for acne, with an incredible new company. These uniquely effective skincare products are designed with a legacy of delivering on what they promise. I honestly believe that using these skincare products, is as close as you can get to visiting a dermatologist … minus the appointment.
The doctors first launched their new company in the high end retail setting in 2002. They were in stores like Nordstrom, Macy’s and Bloomingdales. By 2007 it was a top selling clinical skincare brand in stores like Nordstrom. But the doctors wanted to reach more people and change more skin and lives. So they decided to move out from under the glass counter, into direct sales – they were building their brand through word of mouth referral as it was, and they knew direct sales would be a powerful channel for them, and it is. Today we do multiple times more monthly sales volume through the direct marketing channel, then we did being #1 in Nordstrom, and I am personally profiting from this.*

A litte about the products:
Our company could not have made the top spot in Nordstrom if our products did not perform. Let’s talk about our clinically proven, transformative products. Part of the reason why Rodan + Fields is experience such incredible momentum is because of our award-winning products that provide transformative results. The doctors know that one step and one ingredient does not do the trick – that is why they have created a multi-step, multi-med therapy to give you the best results, without having to see a dermatologist!
