Laura Aridgides, Ph.D., started her career in direct sales in 1999. She started her business to earn the products for free, with the intention of just doing the four shows that were required and then quitting. Instead, she kept doing shows because they were fun to do and also provided a little extra side income. At the same time, she also worked full-time and was a full-time graduate student. Laura earned her Ph.D. in 2001 in Biomedical Science and went on to do post-doctoral research in pediatric virology and infectious diseases, becoming a published author in peer-reviewed scientific journals. During that same time, Laura rose to the ranks of leadership in her home-based business. After… her first son was born in 2003, Laura retired from laboratory work. At that point, she decided to work full-time in her home-based business while being a stay at home Mom. While she remained active in the scientific world as a consultant, her primary focus was raising her son and working her home-based business, where she was consistently recognized as a top performer in her company. In 2003, Laura was recognized as the number 3 recruiter in the entire organization, and in 2008 was again ranked among the top 20 recruiters for the company. She received awards for top in sales and recruiting in her company for 9 years straight. In 2005, she welcomed her second son, and then began to see the fruit of organization, as it became a necessity to ensure that her business continued to run smoothly, as well as her family. In 2009, after more than 10 years in the direct selling field, Laura started OrganizeNOW, LLC, an organization and time management company specializing in coaching and training home-based business professionals to ensure maximum productivity. Laura is available for group or individual training and coaching, and is a top speaker and trainer, having spoken at more than 10 direct sales company conventions. She and her family reside in Vermont. You may contact her at: www.OrganizeNOW.info / 802-264-4884 / laura@OrganizeNOW.info
