At PartyLite we're lucky enough to have a huge number of women working with us every single day. Our amazing community of Affiliates is full of unique, ambitious and brilliant women who make us proud to be PartyLite.
That's why we couldn't resist celebrating them this International Women's Day! Each one of them has their own unique story, of course, so we asked just a handful to tell us a little bit of theirs. We asked them what they love about being their own boss, whether it's working online, working from home or simply having fun with our amazing community!
"I was always a follower in my previous jobs. I never quite had the confidence to voice my good ideas, or strike out on my own to make something new happen. It changed when I started with PartyLite, more than I excepted. I thought I would simply sell for fun, but soon found I was learning and growing. When I've had ideas or questions, I've always been able to to share them and get valuable advice and feedback. PartyLite's round the clock support gave me the strength to go my own way and I love it."
- Anna-Lena, Segersta, Sweden
"I used to think I was always going to be a bold career woman, but didn't dare tell anyone that I wanted to run my own business. It felt like something ordinary people don't achieve in real life! A friend recommended PartyLite to me, and it immediately clicked. No pressure to "sell, sell, sell!" no risk to buy products in advance, no boring 9-5 hours I had to stick to. My own business is now growing, and I'm so proud."
- Jennifer, Virginia, USA
"I've had a tricky time with my career over the years, with a few more twists and turns than I would have cared for! Even so, I always believed I'd succeed because I've worked hard at every job I've had. When I started my PartyLite business, I ran into a few cynics along the way, but I didn't let doubt creep in. I got set up and earning fast, and then started training online. It was easier than I thought to feel like things were growing."
- Jenny, Borlange, Sweden
"The best thing about PartyLite? An amazing, funny and vibrant community is there to support and uplift me. We keep each other going, or get a boost to do something new or scary! I never thought I'd make friends that I have such a laugh with - I know that we'll be friends for years and years, whatever we do."
- Jade, Edinburgh, UK
"For years I had that thing in my head - work is boring, deal with it. Turns out, running a business should be fun. Who knew?! I'm lucky to take it at my own pace, and fit PartyLite around family and commitments and the busy parts of my life. Selling products I love online means my career is one big party! I still can't believe it."
- Amanda, Leicestershire, UK
"I can't lie, I'm obsessed with candles! Thats's where this all started, so obviously working with PartyLite is great for me. It's low pressure, I don't need to graft all the time, I simply fit it in where I enjoy doing it. And I enjoy it more and more often as my network grows - as well as making money, I've made friends I'll value for life."
- Letitia, Los Angeles, USA
"I know some who do it for spare holiday money, some who do it full time, and everything in between. The free training means it's not a scary commitment and you can choose just how far you want to go. For me that's right to the top, but there's no pressure if you simply want to keep things chilled!"
- Vicky, Nottinghamshire, UK
"Life is too short to stress all day, that's what I always say. Theres more to life than work and I think we're all guilty of forgetting that sometimes. I chose PartyLite because it's flexible and that works for me. I earn online with my eshop, Its ideal."
- Teresa, Michigan, USA
