My Fruitful Life


I am so in awe right now. I suppose I must have really wanted this life-style with all my heart because it’s my reality now.








Earning my living from the comfort and seclusion of my home office with it’s breathtaking view…


…is not only a dream come true, but it’s also the catalyst for creating art, as I now have the time to do. I’m Blessed to be able to help others achieve their goal - not having to devote my waking hours to the 9-2-5 grind. I listen to beautifully inspirational music...



I could listen to this beautiful voice all day*
and produce quality, informative work; while helping to change the lives of others. Who could ask for anything more?
I love helping artist share their talent with the community.
Even though I’m an artist, I’m still a practical woman who knows the value of MY time and MY skills. Setting my goals and working diligently to achieve them is not a thing I take for granted because I look around me and see people living in squalor , I cannot look away,
and every imaginable misery. I love that God has allowed me to help so many, but I want to do more - much more.


As a philanthropist, child advocate and counselor, I desire to achieve more that I may do more for my brethren. This is the real beauty of my corner office. The work I do here allows me to live fully and give generously.

On a day such as this

On a day such as this, it can be hard to get into a car and drive to a place that I’d rather not be at. Therefore, I’ve chosen the uncertainty and challenge of working from the place that brings me peace, solace & a continued flow of creative energies. I wake up, work-out in my personal gym, them head to my office with it’s grand view of my gardens.

Once at work, the chaos is managed by the knowledge that I am in control. Taking & making calls, buying & selling, study & research are par for the course. It’s when I’ve helped someone solve a problem that I am most gratuitously rewarded. For, in helping them I have helped myself and the community. This is why I choose the difficult path of entrepreneurship…SMILE*

The reason I do this…





Well, I’m an artist all day every day. But truthfully, until anybody makes it big, art has to be funded. Every dime earned from sales of Ebay , Avon , Organo Gold & Legal Shield goes into the kitty to keep O.N.S. Overnight Sensational Entertainment & Clowns 4 All Occasions Pinky The Dancing Clown  going.

Hip-Hop Dancer, Miss T. Cooks


 


                     Poet, Author, Playwrite; Mr. Marcus Kimbrough

Costumes, travel, paying employees, marketing & other fees are just a few of the costs involved in helping local talent forge ahead and putting Pinky within reach of thousands of children who might never see a live entertainer; least of all a Black Female Clown. I do this to fuel the desire in youngsters that want to follow their dreams too…SMILE* O.N.S. Show Biz Blog

ON MY WAY TO WORK

One of my best friends from Chicago called me today as I was getting dresses for work. It was almost two pm and I told her I was headed to my office to start my work-day. “Why so late?” She asked. And I explained that it was actually quite early, as I often start after dinner when the Internet is running smoother and the world is much quieter.



For me, the wee-hours of the night are when my mind runs rampant and I’ve got the whole day to do other things - including take some short naps when needed. Of course I don’t stay up every night; but the beauty of working from my HOME OFFICE is that I work when I feel most productive. I sit down at my desk and really crank out the profit creating material that has given me the freedom to live as I see fit…not as someone else dictates suitable for me. I do work hard - but I also work smart. Choosing the companies, hours, fields and formats that spark my creativity. I love writing (Blogging), selling on eBay and showing the world a little more about who I am. Identity Theft! Don't be a victim. Click Here to learn more NOW!


So, whether it’s 2am or 2pm, the work-day starts when I’m ready. And I get more done in less time, leaving myself time to live my dreams. People Love OG & I've got it...SMILE*

The Need For Speed & Automation!


The Internet epitomizes the “Information Age.” Opinions, Photos, Videos and Facts are accessed at lightening speed from my PC or any internet ready device. I love shopping on the “Net/Web” and I know others do too because Brick & Mortar Stores are loosing sales = $$$ to Internet sites every day. 
  

Smart companies created websites with shopping carts years ago. Any entity, agency or organization will attest to the power of the internet’s advantage when you want to be found online and patronized.





I appreciate the speed, convenience and automation of the web and I enjoy working with companies that utilize it. Customers, like myself, appreciate the control and flexibility of logging onto the internet 24/7 to conduct all manner of business; Paying Bills, Research, Planning Trips, Shopping, Sharing Updates/Info with family and friends…with just a few Clicks!


All my customers can reach me via Text Message at (662) 263-3101 with questions and concerns, but most don’t need my assistance when they log in, browse the online store, select the items or services they want and pay with PayPal or Credit card.

enjoy the independence of doing things their way and doing things when they want to - not when the doors of the stores are open...SMILE!!!

THE CONFESSION

I bumped into an old acquaintance the other day
She said, “Mary, you’re always smiling, tell me how you stay that way?”
I didn’t even have to stop to think about it
My smile was my joy in Christ and I couldn’t doubt it
Yet, when I told her that, she got wild in her eyes
As though my words had taken her by surprise
She said, “and what about this bad economy?”
I said, “my dear I don’t let that stuff bother me.”
She said, “well what about the killing and the dying?”
I said, “The Bible says that these times will be trying!”
She looked at me with concern and distress
I put my hand on her shoulder and began to confess
That I too, know what you’re going through
I was once confused like you
And she braced herself to hear my confession
And I began to tell her of my life with Depression
There was a time when I only seemed to loose
And every choice I made, was the wrong choice to choose
I was broken and beat down by life
Every waking moment was filled with strife
And if I bet on a race, my horse would not win
Even though that same horse, would win time and time again
Everything I tried to build would fall
And it was not long before I’d lost it all
I turned to astrology and the soothsayers
I consulted the hustlers and the big players
They would give me a word or two and move on
And they laughed when everything I had was gone
But I still had my life and my soul
But I was burnt-out, and I felt so old
And even though I wanted to make a new start
I asked GOD first, to change my heart
Then HE opened my eyes and I began to see
It was the things I had lost that had bounded me
I realized I had my family and my health
And I began to experience a new kind of wealth
It didn’t happen over night
And many days were still filled with fright
But I remain in God’s good Grace
And with God there is nothing...nothing, I can’t face
And so you see this smile I wear
I have a better cross to bare
And now it’s God’s Word I share
I’ve got the victory – and you’ll get there
All you have to do is, let it all go
Open-up and let the Blessings flow
Something Greater is inside of me
I’ve got JESUS, and I feel so free
And I am Always under Satan’s attack

But GOD’S got my front, both sides and my back

And now you ask how I can smile this way
I’m just so happy that I woke up today
And now it seemed that my words had some import
She looked up like she was trying to sort
And then she jerked, as if to get away
I grabbed her by both hands and began to Pray
I saw the tears as they began to pour
And I cried too, cause I’d been there before
I told her...
Sister I’ve been down and out
Believe me, I know what pain is all about
But, JESUS came here and HE died for us
The very least we can do, is to Trust
And so, I have a special joy you see
With Jesus living here inside of me
I touched her cheek and brushed the tears away
We hugged each other and gave God the Praise
About your troubles, there’s only one thing to do
Give them to God and let HIM see you through
So little sister, it’s a brand new day
Give in to God and let Him have His way
Just Pray...Just Pray...JUST PRAY!

Why I Love MLM

OK!


I’ve been asked why I work with so many MLM (Multi Level Marketing) companies and why I chose IM (Internet Marketing)?


The truth is that I know what it is to want. That’s right! I’ve been cold, hungry, without a ride and without phone service. I know what it is to think I’ve got a good job, only to be down-sized when budget cuts took effect. I’m college educated yet this job market is enough to depress anyone looking for work in a creative environment. I know the drudgery of working on jobs where I was clearly over-qualified. And jobs that weren’t stimulating or lucrative. I’ve come home too tire to do anything but rest-up for the next shift and I’ve commuted to a job that was three hours away.

I never set out to be a Webmaster, it simply came with the territory. I love working from my PC. I love operating stores where people can choose the products/services they want, pay with Credit Card, PayPal or right from their Checking Account. I love the fact that I don’t have to drive around, making deliveries, trying to catch people when they are at home or spend endless hours on the phone with unhappy customers.

I really enjoy going into the back offices of my online stores and making changes right from my desktop at home or any where I take my laptop or even my smart phone. I’m in good hands with professional coaches and uplinks who answer questions and offer advice. I don’t have to re-invent the wheel because help is always a phone call away.

It was never my goal to bug people with calls or emails. I work to get my sites in front of people who are looking for the products and services that I have to offer and I’m right beside the every step of the way when they decide to join one of my winning teams.

Get PAID To Drink Coffee
OK,
this isn’t the line of work for everybody. But I was asked why I love it, and now you know. I choose my hours. I work as much or little as I want to and I decide how to operate my stores. I love being Boss!

I’m an artist. I create. Creating wealth from my PC is a no-brainer for me.

I hate to “GO-TO-WORK!”

This page is dedicated to anybody who’s had to:
Get up at all hours of the morning or night.
Were a cheesy outfit or uniform.
Stand on their feet all day.
Commute for hours.
Do degrading work.
Work in nasty weather.
Put up with bosses from hell.
Work in filthy or hazardous conditions.
Work - just to stay broke.
Deal with crazy co-workers.
Beg to get a bathroom-break.
Eat lunch on the run.
Miss-out on family functions or your kid’s events.
Go to work sick.
Been fired for no reason.
The list goes on and on, because when you are doing work that’s not satisfying, not getting paid enough for the job you’re doing or being treated unfairly in the workplace, it’s enough to make you sick of your job. Now, I’m not suggesting that you up-and-quit! But it’s up to you to make a career move that will begin bringing you the emotional gratification, creative freedom and financial rewards that comes with doing satisfying work.

Despite what you might have heard; MLM (Multi-Level-Marketing) has been helping people gain freedom and financial independence for more than 100 years, one of the first being the company formed by Madam C.J. Walker, who trained thousands of women across the United States, as hair care consultants. Learn more about this historical entrepreneur at these websites:





Of course, this model of business was followed by great companies like:

Avon:

Organo Gold:

Legal Shield, formally known as Pre-Paid Legal:

Other great companies that have used this model of growth include: The Fuller Company, Amway, Herbalife, Mary Kay, Tupperware and a host of other’s who understood that helping people grow their own businesses is the best way to grow a company.

WORKING TO STAY BROKE?

Let me tell you up front; I’m an artist, Pinky The Dancing Clown and I need time, money and freedom to create. I’ve worked at jobs ranging from cashier, caregiver and construction worker; to store manager, government work, welder, trucking, and even factory work. I’ve also had the headache of running small businesses. If the paper work, liabilities and equipment maintenance weren’t enough to cause ulcers, the unpredictable customers, irresponsible employees and rising business costs were. Not to mention the balancing act of raising a family and caring for aging parents…it was overwhelming, to say the least. 

Jobs were all fine for a moment, providing extra income to fund my next project. But, we all know the employment situation that has plagued this nation for decades…cheep, foreign labor. We can’t blame companies if they want more profit - exploiting the labor of people who do a job for pennies a day. But we don’t have to buy their products either. So, what happens when an American worker, is displaced by the “Downsizing” trend?
I haven’t done it all, but as I mentioned, I’ve done a lot. I know the value of my time and my talents. That’s why I earn Passive Income to fund my artistic endeavors. 




Please don’t take that term the wrong way! Passive doesn’t mean “DO-NOTHING INCOME” or “MAGIC INCOME.”

It just means “FLEXIBLE INCOME.” I determine the hours and efforts to expend. I set goals that are relevant to my needs and that fuel my creative fires. I take the heartaches and set-backs, but I also take the credit and enjoy the fruits of my OWN labors.
Travel, costumes, licenses/permits, lessons, props, venues and a host of costs evolved with performing, required income-generating systems that left me with very little time to practice and create. Mind you, I didn’t just pick companies out of a hat. I simply signed up with companies whose products I used all the time. I drink Organo Gold coffee every day,     Organo Gold Coffee & Health Products,
so why not buy it wholesale and share the goodness with others? 
 
I sold Avon, Avon by Madamxtra , to earn extra income
during college. My Grandmother, Mom and Aunts, all used it. That assured me that the company was trust worthy. Now I place my orders on the internet and get PAID to do it.
         
I’ve been a member of Legal Shield, since it was Pre-Paid Legal. Becoming a representative was just the next step.
They’ve been a phone call away when I had questions about property issues, fiduciary rights, child custody issues and even an auto accident. I don’t plop down hundreds of dollars for consultation when legal issues arise…and they do arise. And they are available 24/7 in emergencies.
