Get to know The Transformers

Becky

 * In one word, how do you feel right now? We call this a One Word Open. -- Pumped!!


 * Why did you decide to join a Lifebushido Triangle and start this adventure with strangers around the world? -- My attraction to Lifebushido, after reading about it on a WAH newsletter, was the focus on Perfect Job and Unique Talents. It was like a job buffet - being able to choose my favorite parts of all my roles and combine them into one great role!


 * What is your most treasured memory? -- I've had a life of treasured memories and it's so hard to choose just one! One of my most recent ones is the birth of my granddaughter who just happened to be born on my birthday. I met her at 20 minutes old and she just stared into my eyes as if to say, "I think we have something special here!" I whispered, "Don't tell your Mama or Auntie, but I do believe you're my favorite!".


 * Who do you admire most and in what way does that person inspire you? -- I admire my dear friend, Vicki, for the way she has overcome adversity and always keeps a positive outlook. From her husband walking out on her after 27 years and 2 kids to be with her drug-addicted cousin and surviving 2 botched cancer surgeries (all before the age of 50) and overcoming a complicated childhood her happy spirit lifts me every day. Although we are 1800 miles apart I feel like she is next to me, cheering me on, every time she posts to Facebook. Her tender heart towards animals and people makes me want to be a better person and I can't imagine life without her.


 * What is the one thing about yourself that you like best? -- My favorite thing about myself is my ability to find some good in people and situations. I find myself starting sentences with 'On the bright side ...' frequently.


 * What was the most risky decision you ever made in your life? -- The second riskiest decision I ever made was to take our last $600 out of our savings account to start a business. It was risky because title companies were pulling out of our county at the time but we had faith and persevered. 17 years later we made the most risky decision by walking away from the business in our mid-40's. The stress was immense and the doctors said my husband would be dead in 10 years if our life didn't change. My family came before amassing money so we set goals to close and entered a new season in our lives.


 * What is the greatest accomplishment in your life, so far? -- My greatest accomplishment so far has been my marriage. It's not easy, even after 35 years. We've both had to learn patience, diplomacy and compromise. It's taught us the value of being a team and presenting a united front to our children. We worked together, 24/7, for 17 years and had to learn how to keep work and family separate to maintain both. It's been a rewarding investment!


 * Open choice question: Make up your own question and answer it to help Triangle Members get to know you better. -- Do you come from a large family or a small one? What is your birth order position. I have 4 brothers and 3 sisters. I am the 7th child and youngest daughter.


 * What have you learned about yourself, about your Triangle Members, and about Lifebushido in your first week in a Lifebushido Triangle? -- Over the past few years I felt like I had lost touch with the part of me that made me *me*. I was depressed and felt like all that was ahead for me was a dead end repetitious job until retirement - and even retirement was in question. The process of researching Lifebushido, the application process and the training I've already done has given me my drive again and the knowledge that I can make a difference again.

I've learned that we have a very family-oriented triangle! Our team is dedicated and hit deadlines even with the responsibilities they already have! They are awesome!!

Lifebushido is unlike any other company I've ever had the opportunity of association - they focus on what I do best rather than having a list of duties and forcing me into the list. During my training I find the time flies when I'm doing a task that fits me and I'm learning to pay attention to my gifts to learn where I fit best.


 * In one word, how do you feel right now? We call this a One Word Close -- Blessed!

My Bio I am so excited about the opportunities at LifeBushido!! My passions are my family and my granddaughter, firstly. Secondly, I love Social Media, websites and blogging, and I'm a research junkie. You don't need to know ALL the answers - you just need to know where to find them! I was a title abstractor/Examiner for 23 years - some on payroll. 3 as a freelancer, and 17 as an abstract company owner which we began with our last $600. The business was good to us and we were able to retire at 46 and move from DE to FL to work for Mickey Mouse. We set tangible, reachable 5 year goals with a concrete date (debt free, new house in FL free and clear) and we hit our mark. Our 2 daughters moved to FL and married so we were presented with our only grandchild on my birthday in 2009. A few months later her parents separated from the Air Force and moved to TX, so we did as well. There is no way we are missing these years! We expect to move back to FL at some point. Having my own business gave me a solid base in getting it done, no matter what. My time at Disney was focused on team dynamics. I was also a Realtor for a couple of years in FL - when the market was 65% distressed and getting an offer accepted was like finding a pearl in an oyster! My gifting is in leadership and administration - as a Realtor I loved the admin part. I've been online since 1989 and have built many Wordpress based sites - I was building sites on the old Geo-Cities site back in the old days! I also do some Social Media management as well. I love to make jewelry and sew as well as most crafts. As you can see by my posting, I'm a High-I in DISC personality profiles and ideas spin through my head! I'm not naturally organized so I use SYSTEMs (Save YourSelf Time Energy and Money) to keep myself on track. As a leader I'm looking to create a triangle that is fun as well as creative and well-functioning!

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">In one word, how do you feel right now? We call this a One Word Open. -- Anxious!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Why did you decide to join a Lifebushido Triangle and start this adventure with strangers around the world? -- I decided to join a triangle because I had heard so much positive feedback on this!! A few women on a WAHM forum shared their experience and said it was a great learning experience and they made friends in the process!! Instead of just applying for Lifebushido and hoping to hear something back, I wanted to put myself out there and learn a little extra about Lifebushido and make a few connections and friends also!!!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is your most treasured memory? -- My most treasured memory would be the night I gave birth to my son without a doubt. I was a young mother and had no idea what I was in for, and the moment they laid him in my arms it was love at first sight and my maternal instincts kicked in immediately! My best friend is actually fixing to give birth to her first child and we were just talking about this the other night, I can remember that exact moment when he was put in my arms just like yesterday! I can still see those little eyes staring at me, he was breathing so hard to where I could hear and feel his little breath. That is my most treasured memory and always will be!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Who do you admire most and in what way does that person inspire you? -- I admire my grandma!! She has always been that one person in my life who I admire. She has not only been a grandma to me but also a second mother. She is 78 years old and she is more active than myself!!! She can still get out and do things normal people at that age shouldn't still be able to do. She never lets anything stop her and I love that about her!! She never gives up on anything. She has worked hard all her life because she didn't have a man beside her, she was and still is very independent and no one will ever take that away from her!!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is the one thing about yourself that you like best? -- One thing I like about myself is that I am a good listener. I have always been the one in my friends or family to go to if you have problems, I can always put myself in someone else's shoes and see myself through them. I like listening and helping people in anyway I can. Its a good feeling to put some light at the end of someone's tunnel!!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What was the most risky decision you ever made in your life? -- The most risky decision I ever made was choosing to quit my outside of the home job. I made good money but I missed out on so much time with my family. I would leave at 2:30pm and not get home until 2:30am, the only time I ever seen my son was mainly on the weekends. I was very unhappy and even fell into a little bit of a depression. One day my husband asked me why I was putting myself through this and the first thing I said was 'the money is great', that's the only reason I could come up with! Long story short, the money was not worth missing out on watching my son grow up. But that also meant we would be one less income! I quit my job and I have never been so happy!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is the greatest accomplishment in your life, so far? -- My greatest accomplishment so far has been becoming a mother/wife. I became a mother pretty young and had to grow up pretty quick. It was not always easy in the beginning, my husband and myself barely got by at times, but it made us stronger in the long run and appreciate the things we have today! Back then we would jump from house to house and pay rent, had problems paying on all our bills, we never seemed like we could get ahead. My husband got offered a great job and we begin to see a light at the end of our tunnel, we are now home owners, both of our vehicles are paid off and we feel like we are finally on that right path! We would never take our son back for one minute and I am truly blessed to have him, but I would be lying if I said it was easy!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Open choice question: Make up your own question and answer it to help Triangle Members get to know you better. -- Do you have pets, and if so how many? I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I have a German shepherd who is a outside dog but sneaks her way inside from time to time. I have a shih Tzu who is my biggest baby!! One outside cat that we have had for years, and just recently bought a Himalayan cat who is inside as well and chases my shih Tzu through the house!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What have you learned about yourself, about your Triangle Members, and about Lifebushido in your first week in a Lifebushido Triangle? -- I have learned through this process that I am a very determined person. I have always been a mother who worked outside of the home to bring in income when I realized my place is to be home and watching my son grow up.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">I started the journey of becoming a work at home mom this summer and up until Lifebushido had no luck. Because I technically had no experience working from home, no one would even give me the time of day! How am I supposed to get any experience if no one is willing to give me one chance? I heard about Lifebushido on a WAHM forum and put in with doubts because everyone was talking about how hard it was to get hired on. I was debating rather to join a triangle or just apply for Lifebushido and hope for the best. The triangle method seemed to weigh it self out compared to just applying and waiting around on luck. I am glad I decided the triangle method because if I hadn't, I wouldn't have met the lovely ladies in here! The one thing I have learnt from all of us, is that we are all family oriented. We all have loved ones that we all seem to be very proud of and for good reason!

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Lifebushido is a very unique and interesting company! The hiring process is what caught my eye. Usually company's just want you to apply and they will look through your resume and decide rather or not you would be a good fit. But with Lifebushido, they give you the chance to express yourself creatively and find your unique talents and then from there place you in a department/team that works with your talent!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">In one word, how do you feel right now? We call this a One Word Close -- Eager!

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">My Bio <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Hello everyone!!! I am so excited and eager to get started with Lifebushido, as well as the rest of you! I am currently a SAHM trying to transition to a WAHM. I ran onto Lifebushido and thought this would be perfect for me with all the flexibility. My child is always my number one priority but mommy needs something to do for herself! I know I could put all my talents to use with this job and have fun doing it as well!! I am very computer savvy, I have been playing on computers and learning new things about them since my dad brought one home back in 1995!! I also like to get creative with ideas as well! I love creating and making things rather it is a craft, making something digital or anything really! I am a huge organization person; I absolutely love organizing things (maybe I am a bit of a nerd)! A little about myself, I have one 7 year old son who is getting at that age where he no longer needs mommy as much as he use to. I also have two fury kids as well; one beautiful Himalayan cat that I have waited years for, and an energetic shih Tzu. I went straight to college out of high school and took all my general education and majored in business. I am looking forward to joining a triangle with a great group and getting to you guys better!!

 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">In one word, how do you feel right now? We call this a One Word Open. -- Motivated!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Why did you decide to join a Lifebushido Triangle and start this adventure with strangers around the world? -- I like the new innovative ideas that Life Bushido is implementing in the online workplace, the triangles are a support system, and who would oppose to that?!?


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is your most treasured memory? -- Without a doubt my most treasured memory is the birth of my daughter. That day my life changed forever and I could not be more blessed to have her.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Who do you admire most and in what way does that person inspire you? -- I most admire my mother. She is strong, yet has the perfect mix of compassion that makes her so relate-able. She has overcome so much adversity and maintained her integrity, she has shown me the love of Christ and I continue to strive to be more and more like her everyday.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is the one thing about yourself that you like best? -- I like the fact that I can walk into a room full of complete strangers and still be confident. I am far from shy and meeting new people has always been fun for me.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What was the most risky decision you ever made in your life? -- The riskiest decision I've made is to quit my job at 8 months pregnant. We decided that living a more simple life style took priority versus a baby in day care. I am so lucky and blessed to be a sahm and wouldn't change a thing!


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What is the greatest accomplishment in your life, so far? -- My greatest accomplishment so far has been becoming the person that I think my daughter can look up to. I made some bad lifestyle changes in my early twenties and having overcome so much was not easy. I now know that I am an honest, loving, caring, and loyal person who can teach her integrity and right from wrong.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">Open choice question: Make up your own question and answer it to help Triangle Members get to know you better. -- Do you all have any pets? What kind and How many? I have 2 chihuahuas and 11 fish (all together in a tank of course). I'd love to get a kitty but I have slight allergies to them and am worried that my daughter will too.


 * <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">What have you learned about yourself, about your Triangle Members, and about Lifebushido in your first week in a Lifebushido Triangle? --

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;">My Bio

<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;"> I received an email notifying that I have been selected to work as a virtual assistant beginning in August and I could not be more excited! I currently do part time ad design and print ads for local Real Estate Agents while raising my 15 month old daughter. I believe that my talents will be most beneficial in the Best Agent Business department of Life Bushido because of my prior experience in management of a Real Estate Office. I also am approaching the end of my degree of Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. I am motivated, personable, and possess strong customer service and problem solving skills, I work independently and exceed expectations.
