When Ameilia Keely first heard of Stella & Dot, she was intrigued but extremely skeptical. Still, she was unhappy with her teacher's salary and eager to pay off a loan quickly — so, she figured it was worth a try.
When she started in late 2009 she had no idea what to do, so she just watched videos, read the guide and went for it. She knew that the more trunk shows she booked, the more money she would make, and made that her sole focus. Then, just a couple months later, in February 2010, she was first in sales in the company. "That’s when it hit me that I COULD do this and I can show others how to do it, too," Amelia writes.
Now, Amelia is one of the Founding Directors for the company and is continuing to grow her business. And she has the flexibility and time she craved when she first started: She'll be able to take maternity leave for the whole year from teaching (she's expecting her first child in July!) and continue to run her Stella & Dot business. Amelia says, "I really do feel like I’ve just begun."
