Who is Marilyn Fisher?

I am just a lady who got tired of others telling me that I would never be able to work again!

When I lost my job due to an injury that partially severed my spine, The doctors said that I would be completely bedridden for the rest of my life.  Well I had always been a fighter and I was not going to let this setback control the rest of my life.

After 9 months of intensive therapy, I was finally sent home in a manual wheelchair, mind you that I lived alone in Las Vegas, Nevada at this time, and I wasn't going to be stuck inside!  Can we say that I am also a bit headstrong.  One day after fighting with agencies trying to get someone to take me to the store, and being told that they could not take me anywhere except to the doctors.  I got MAD!  I called a Wheelchair provider and set up an appointment with them to come out to fit me with a motorized wheelchair.  After 6 weeks of not hearing from them, I called and found out that this doctor would not write the prescription for the wheelchair.  After a couple of calls to my Congressman and  Miss Amy V, (now deceased) who at that time was a big advocate for people in wheelchairs, I got my prescription for my wheelchair!

I have not stopped since then!  They said I would not work again, today I own my own business!  Has it been easy No, would I do it again?  In a heartbeat!

From the beginning, I knew that it was not going to be easy as I had no use of my legs and very limited use of one arm.  During my first year of trying to work for someone else I ran into alot of obstacles of which could have been avoided if mainstream corporate america, would realize that handicapped people can and do want to work!  We want to be self-supporting and self sufficient.  So how do we get to be these things, with a few simple modifications to work environments or in my case now to our homes. 

Tomorrow I will let you in on the rest of the story!

Christmas is almost here!

Yes Christmas is almost here! Have you kept on schedule for all of your gift buying and wrapping?  I hope so as time is running out fast.  While we are talking about being on time did we check the dates to get those cards mailed out by so that our friends and family get them before Christmas?

If you have not finished shopping online yet, it needs to be done by tomorrow in order to make it to the recipient by Christmas!  And that is only if you are using UPS shipping to the United States.

If you still have cards that you didn't get sent out yet, you might think about making an audio/video card to send to your family & friends, that way they get the card and it is personalized by you.  Then email it to them!

I want to wish you all a very Happy and Joyous Merry Christmas!

Who's Business IS it?

Who's Business is it? Is a question that only you can answer!
I came into this phase of my life knowing that I had to do something in order to create a living for myself!  I knew that I didn't know everything involved in starting my own business, so I found someone who had done it before me and was living the life that I wanted to live!  This is called finding a mentor (Step 1), then I had to decide WHAT I wanted to invest into this business on a daily or weekly basis (Step 2).  Then I had to decide for MYSELF how I was going to do it! 

Yesturday, (those of you who know and follow me) know that I chose to deem as a Friday!  I can do that now, because I know that I OWN this business and not someone else!  I will always get the results that I want each day based on what STEPS, I apply ACTIONS on for that day.  Even though I took a day off mid-week, my business did not shut down or come to a stand still, because I chose to set it up so that it continues to work for me even though I am not out there physically doing the selling of products or marketing it! 

The way that happened for me was that I chose to let the SYSTEM that I chose, work for me! See my prior post if you don't know what a system is, or ask your mentor or coach.  Always remember, that it is your business not their business!  Some people are money driven, some are lifestyle driven and then their are some people like me, that just want to HELP others to get to the point where they understand that THEY have to do the WORK to achieve THEIR OWN results in their Business!

I Am Not Your Boss!  I am only here to help you along the way to achieving your desired results!
