I am the proud mother of 3 wonderful children, ages 14, 7 and 2. I have worked from home as a virtual assistant for the past 7 years. My passion is to help others in any way I can. I heard about Lifebushido about a year and a half ago while searching the internet for work at home opportunities. I immediately wanted to get involved with such a great company!! I currently live on the beautiful Gulf Coast of Pensacola, Florida, but grew up in the metro Atlanta are. I have both of my parents still with me and still married after 35 years, and two younger brothers. =====

I began researching working from home in 2005 when I became pregnant with my second child. I tried everything, including all of the scams out there, Avon, Mary Kay, being an Insurance Agent and much more. After a couple of years of spinning my wheels on how to be successful working from home, I decided to take the skills I had from working in the corporate world and transition them to a home office. I marketed myself, networked, designed my own websites, and started from the bottom. I am self taught on many things. I like to dive in head first and climb my way back to the top. I am a very fast learner and love mentoring others on how to do the same thing. Sometimes, re-inventing the wheel allows you to grow more than just riding on the wheel someone else created.


 * // I really love how Lifebushido gives you the opportunity to be creative and come up with new ways to be successful. //**

=
My passion is helping people in any way that I can. I love being able to lend a hand and research to find solutions that solve problems. I enjoy putting systems into place and executing them. I also love to sing and dance and be carefree whenever possible! My children are my world and I give them my all first and foremost. Anything I can do to better their lives is my top priority. That is also why my passion is to work from home to be closer to them and more available when they need me. =====

=
My perfect job is flexible and can be scheduled around the needs of my family. It will allow me to use my current skills and gain new ones. The perfect job would be to do something that helps others, whether it is simply educating them with the business knowledge and administrative skills I possess, or completing tasks for them so they can free up some of their time to concentrate on other things. The perfect job will always provide me with a feeling of accomplishment and success. ======


 * My Annual Goals**

3. I will plan one night per week for a date night with my fiancé.
**Animal Quiz Results** **You are the Strategic Lion! ** For lions, it’s all or nothing. If their strategy fails, they go hungry. For us, however, it’s all about organizing our thoughts, ideas, experiences, skills, expertise, and expectations to accomplish a desired goal. Strategy is not just about the end; rather, it’s the means to that end. For that reason, sound strategies must be flexible, not rigid. In its simplest form it’s a basic road map—albeit one that involves and incorporates change. This might make it not only difficult to accurately read at times, but also somewhat dependent on future uncertainty. If you are a strategic person—a strategist—you will recognize these characteristics in yourself:
 * The ability to create multiple options for solving problems.
 * You chart the course that others follow by defining the tactics, steps, and resources that are required to achieve the goal while keeping the bigger picture in perspective. You remain proactive and ensure that the plan is adjusted to meet the objectives.



=
I live in Portland, OR, and have for my entire adult life, having moved from the tiny township of Damascus Oregon, which is about 15 miles South East of Portland. I grew up with a loving family in a quiet, nothing ever happens town. Until I got my license as a teenager, I hated Oregon, having moved here as a young, free California girl with lots to do, to the county surround by tree farms and orchards, I was bored and itching for freedom. When my freedom came, I discovered the city that is my heart’s home. Portland is a great place to live, with so many things to do and places to go. But there is more than the touristy Green City folks know about. There is the character of the city. There is a saying here, Keep Portland Weird- and that suits me to a tee. I am at my heart of hearts a creative person and Portland is the place I can be free to express my creative side, be it writing, painting, candle-making, arts and crafts, dancing or getting back to the elements of nature, I am free to be me in this amazing city.=====

=
I attended Portland State University and got a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences, with a Minor in English and Geography each. I also took a correspondence course in writing for children. I love to learn, and have long been pulled toward learning all I can about European folklore, customs, and mythology from antiquity up through Medieval and Victorian times. I am continuously researching a variety of topics just for the sheer joy of learning something new and making connections, from history to the present, Macrocosm to Microcosm. Through my own personal studies I have also had a few opportunities to share my knowledge with others in an academic setting, personal study group and workshops with other likeminded pursuers of our past. I also have a huge love of Fantasy. I have been reading fantasy fiction for most my life and can easily get sucked into another world and enjoy my stay for hours at a time. This love of fantasy along with my love of creative writing and mythology have naturally led me to work on my own novel, which I will complete and publish, preferably in the nearer rather than later future.=====

=
My desire to be a successful author of works I can be proud of, along with my desire to be at home for my daughter more, giving her and my husband more time all around has spurred me on to leave the corporate office setting for a job working from home. I have been working for a large company for the last 15 years, and while the benefits are nice, the direction of micromanaging, commute time, and lack of free time now outweighed the pay and benefits. I don’t need the safety net of a corporate office any longer, I am ready to take the plunge and make my own career and by my own call and desires. I think Lifebushido could be just the thing for what I want to accomplish in my personal life. When it comes to support work in and administrative sense, I thrive of coordination of tasks, deadlines and projects, as well as in research.===== = = =My Passion= My Passion is creativity. Anytime I can express myself creatively is when I am filled with positive passion. Ever since I was a young girl I have had a love of stories. This soon grew into a love of writing them. I would spend hours in my room writing short stories and poetry, most often about my feelings, fun girly things, and animals. As I grew and continued to nurture my love of learning I discovered the world of Mother Nature and the world of Fantasy. I have over the years integrated these two other passions of mine through my writing, and of late with other art. I am currently working on completing my first novel and am excited to see it through to it' successfully published fruition. My passion for creativity extends into other art forms as well. From making candles and jewelry, to scrap booking, drawing and painting, as well as other various arts and crafts, when I get to explore my creative side I am fully alive. =Perfect Job=

=
My perfect job would entail four key ingredients, use of my creative skills, use of my organization skills, use of my writing skills, and time flexibility allowing for a strong work/life balance. I am a creative, intellectual person, and when I can apply my own approach of thinking to come up with ideas, solutions, ways to accomplish an idea, and creative end products, presentations or services, I am at the top of my game. I find it an exciting challenge when given the opportunity to plan and coordinate a project or event, and feel great fulfillment from the successful accomplishment of such ideas and projects. =====

=
When working on an idea, project or event, the best way for me to keep focused and not get overwhelmed is to be organized. Part of that organization includes delegation, and coordination of tasks and people. I am the go to person when you need to ensure something gets done. I have also successfully planned, coordinated and executed an annual festival event attended by 40-100 people annually for the last several years. I love to “take the bull by the horns” and ensure projects and tasks are done successfully. Keeping myself and others organized and on task not only helps me keep on track, but also helps me to thrive within the work being done, and help ensure the end results are positive and successful. =====

=
I also love to write. Primarily I enjoy writing about topics I have a personal affinity towards, but writing in general is something I enjoy. I can spend all day writing about various topics and putting ideas into thought form with intelligence, focus and my own creative spin. My writing is my primary form of creativity, so the more I can write the more creative I can be, the more fulfilled I am. =====

=
And last but not least, my perfect job will allow me greater flexibility to make my schedule and determine my hours put in toward work. I have a goal to be at home for my daughter more, to express myself creatively more, and to become a successfully published author, more time at home, for myself will help me achieve these goals directly. =====

**You are the Enterprising Crocodile! **

Enterprising means showing initiative, a willingness to undertake new projects, and a strong desire for success and achievement—all qualities that support the role of the entrepreneur. Like the crocodile, enterprising people possess the energy, creativity, and ambition required to see the possibilities in the future that others cannot see. If you are an enterprising person, you’ll see the following characteristics in yourself:
 * The ability to “think outside the box” when facing difficult problems and developing solutions.
 * A dedication to advancing both yourself and your organization through a clear mission, while fostering a culture that supports and encourages imaginative and creative solutions.
 * The determination to succeed, which also lends itself to another important trait for enterprising individuals: self-confidence.
 * The tendency to spend a lot of time working alone—something that’s paramount to business success. This emphasizes entrepreneurs’ understanding of sacrifice, and how short-term hard work will pay off with long-term rewards.



To Be Determined- this could be YOU!, Visionary

UPDATE 3/2/14 Besuto Triangle has a new opening for a Visionary. We are seeking one other member to make our triangle of three again. Our partner, Rea has left LB for new adventures in her life and so we find ourselves with a vacancy. We are working up the details to re-launch our Radio show and need a visionary to help with the planning and executing the show. We will be doing Wednesday show, most likely 2 times per month. If you are global and have international calling capability this can be a plus as it would help us get you on the air with Andrea and Lana. If you don't, we could still use for the planning of the show- we want to meet via Skype or conference call with anyone interested in joining us. We will complete all initial interviews before determining who is the best fit for Besuto Triangle.

The radio show will have a few segments to complete a half hour show. First we will spend some time on Lifebushido tips, news or training topics focused on how listeners can best work Lifebushido into their lives, understand how the company works and what we do, and way to be all you can be as a virtual assistant. This is where if we have a guest speaking, they will be interviewed. This segment will be followed by the Song of the Week- a positive, high energy pick me up piece of music to shift our focus onto the next segment.

Following the song of the week we will have some fun things to focus on- ideas such as a recipe for a quick dinner, ways to relax, or things to do with friends and family- ways to stay connected to what is important in our lives outside of work will be highlighted in this segment. The show will end with a positive short visualization/ meditation- or uplifting affirmation for everyone to take with them as they go through their week.

We need more ideas, and help with planning this show to ensure we get in on air each month. If you think you are the one do this job in our Recruit Triangle- please contact Lana Barry at lanambarry@gmail.com and we will connect to set up a time to meet. We are dealing with Pacific and East coast hours for Lana and Andrea- just keep this in mind for planning a call. Typically we meet on Tuesdays, 8:30 am Pacific, 12:30 Eastern U.S.
