Your Name
Patrice WalkerWhat is your side business?
I have two businesses. The first is called Tuscan-Home-101. I generate an average of $3000.00 monthly from this business. I created it while on pregnancy bed rest with my son, Deuce. I had to stop working in a dental office at that time due to pregnancy complications. My Tuscan Home business alone brings home more than I did in the Dental office.
I never returned back to the Dental office after my business began to make money. It inspired me to create a second business that helps people start businesses from scratch. I teach them business marketing and advertising: PBN Automated Marketing Solutions
Why did you choose this particular business?
When I was originally researching how to build a business from home, it was because without me working in the dental office, my portion of income to support my family was no longer there. Our bills started to slip, we had to occasionally visit food pantries for decent meals for our kids--it got that bad.
So with the bills getting behind, I just kept pushing to make ends meet by learning marketing-- And just after I discovered 'how' to build an online business of my own, my baby was born 3 months early and passed away in the NICU at 5 weeks old.
So, here's why I started the Tuscan Home business. It was because I realized that I could build a real business derived from my passion. My deep interest in Tuscany Home design. I made a promise to my son before he passed away that I would dedicate my life to helping families protect their children. And pursuing passions, and helping families get through financial struggles is why I started PBN Automated Marketing Solutions. I show people how to build businesses of their own to supplement or replace their income.
Both businesses replaced my dental office income. I have never gone back to work for another company. I was even offered a position by a marketing company called Marketing Merge, to head up and develop a marketing consultant program, for a salary of $120K per year. I turned the position down because my purpose is to teach people about becoming entrepreneurs, how to work for themselves... and build businesses that allow more time to spend with their loved ones, and pursuing passions that they never had the ability to enjoy because they have to report to a 9-5.
Had I taken the "JOB" at the marketing company, after all the years I no longer worked for anyone-- besides myself, I would have been going completely against what I have been working so hard for, for my family, as well as what I was preparing to teach others to achieve in. Starting their own business.
My PBN Automated Marketing Solutions business provides step by step online training-- many trainings with live webinar events. The online trainings help people who NEED to supplement income, or generate additional income to support their families. They learn systematic marketing & advertising. They also are taught product creation and are shown how to explore different monetization options for income generation in their businesses.
