Tupperware...Reasons Why I'm Getting Involved

A few years ago, I got involved in Tupperware to try earning a little extra money. To be honest, at the time I was not very good at it. I was (and still am) fairly shy, was scared of talking in front of people, even if I did know them, and whatever money I was earning I was spending it on more Tupperware instead of saving what I had earned.

Flash forward almost 2 1/2 years later. I've been without a job for 3 1/2 months. When it started to feel like other companies or businesses wouldn't give me a chance and hire me, I started thinking about doing a home-based business of my own. I looked into a few possibilities, but none of them caught my eye. One day, I got a message from the person who recruited me the first time and asked if I had thought about getting back into Tupperware. I thought it over and talked it over with the person who's been helping me out since I've been here. I decided to give it another try.

This time so far, I'm using my time a lot more wisely. I'm still nervous to talk in front of groups of people, but trying not to let that detour me. I've been spending time doing online training, reading about the different products offered so that if someone asks me a question about it, I can give them an answer and not always have to ask another consultant about it.

Okay, now some reasons why I've decided to get involved in Tupperware.

I figured while I am looking for a full-time job, I might as well start working on an income from home to get me going while I wait. Someday, I hope to be my own boss and not have to work for someone else the rest of my life. This way, I can set my own schedule and take off when I want to and not have to ask permission from my boss. Once I have a full-time job and until I've earned enough to go out on my own, I want to be able to put my Tupperware earnings into savings. Or use it to put towards paying off debts. Or use what I've saved in the future to take trips to see my family. Living where I do, almost anywhere I would drive for work (once I have a full-time job), I will have to fight traffic everyday to and from work. It will take me on average 45 minutes (or more) to get to work and home. Working for myself doing Tupperware, I could save a lot on gas money. I believe in Tupperware. It is a company that has been around for over 65 years. I feel the product is durable, long lasting, and classic. My grandma has some Tupperware tumblers/cups that she's had since probably the late 70's or early 80's. I know if I go to her house, they will be sitting in her cabinet. My mom has several Tupperware pieces. One I remember most when I was growing up was a big orange bowl she has. I used to sit on the back deck snapping the ends off green beans and putting them into this bowl. She has had this bowl for at least 25 years or more.

Power of Prayer

Come next week, I will have been here in Texas for 3 months. Some days, many days lately, it feels like it has been a very long time.


I have not had the greatest luck in the job search area at all. So far, I have applied for the better part of 60 or more jobs, had maybe 5-10 interviews (if I was lucky), and even recently got rejected from being considered for a serving position at Pizza Hut, being told I wasn't qualified for the position or what they were looking for.


I did have a job briefly for a company that tested tires. I was a driver. It was not a bad job by any means, but the hours were all over the place and most often into the early hours of the morning or all night. No matter how much sleep I got before going in for my shift, I would catch myself nodding off behind the wheel or drifting into the other lane because I was so tired. When I gave my notice to my supervisor that I was quitting, it felt like they didn't quite understand when I said I wasn't being a safe driver. I knew I was endangering myself as well as the other drivers on the road. I tried toughing it out as long as possible because I REALLY, REALLY needed the paycheck. But being safe won out.


I know I have had a team of people praying for me every chance they have that I find a job soon. I have been praying as much as I can too. It just feels so frustrating more days than I can count that I haven't found a decent, reliable job yet when I know several other people have found jobs quickly back home or in a new location.


I have had some help from Matt giving me ideas of places to look or he has even gotten online himself to help me look. I hope he knows how much I appreciate his help and support.


If you are the praying kind, I would certainly appreciate any kind of prayer right now in finding a job that I can make a living at.
