Stephanie joins the blog today to share how she got her start and what Initial Outfitters means to her. Friendships, sisterhood, reliability and FUN (Just like Stephanie, herself!!).
The first time I saw an Initial Outfitters catalog, I fell in love with the product line! Then I heard about IO Loves (specifically Charlie’s Lunch) and fell in love with the COMPANY! I had been a single mother at one point in my life, and I knew how hard it was to feed my own children. Seeing a company that donates 100% of their profit on a lunchbox to feed hungry children… Well, that story tugged at my heartstrings. That was the moment I knew that I wanted to be involved with Initial Outfitters.

Stephanie’s friend Emily introduced her to Initial Outfitters. Now they make the best team!
For me, personally, it goes way beyond that. The fact that my IO Sisters share their love of God on a daily basis, well, that really feeds my faith. As a younger mother, I was involved in a MOPS program. At that time in my life, that is what fed my faith. I didn’t realize I was missing that so much until I joined Initial Outfitters and spent time with these amazing women.

Look at these beautiful ladies at conference!
I have been in direct sales prior to Initial Outfitters, and while I worked hard at what I did, I still felt like just another consultant. Initial Outfitters is fantastic at recognizing their consultants and making us feel like we mean something. Since joining Initial Outfitters, I have been recognized by my upline sponsors but also at the corporate level. Being recognized at the corporate level not only felt amazing and has boosted my confidence but has allowed me to grow my network and team!

Stephanie and Alicia enjoyed a wonderful reward trip the the Bahamas over the summer.
Having the support of my husband and kids on this journey means so much to me. For my kids to see me as a success is so important to me. I want them to know that with hard work and dedication, you CAN find a job that you love where you can make a difference in others lives. To be able to do that AND keep my schedule flexible so that I don’t miss the important events in their lives makes the success I’ve had with Initial Outfitters even sweeter.

Stephanie’s husband loves his tropical IO vacations!
