From Laid-off to Paid-Off: Warm Spirit's Top Earner Shares Her Success Story with Atlanta-based Maga

June 24, 2008 - PRLog -- Warm Spirit’s 3 Diamond National Vice President and #1 earning consultant, Sherry D. Fields has landed in Atlanta, ready to give people an opportunity to make as much money as she does in the direct sales industry.  This savvy business woman is CEO and President of PDIA, Inc. and has been featured in Essence Magazine, Success South Florida Magazine and most recently the May ‘08 issue of The Atlanta Tribune. Because of her huge success in the network marketing industry, everybody wants to know, how she did it!

Sherry was making six-figures as a corporate executive but was laid-off in the spring of 2001. Having tapped out her savings account and approaching the six-month mark of unemployment, she began to panic.  Sherry explains, “Everyone knows the job market slows down in the summer. I was looking forward to things picking up after Labor Day – that’s what normally happens, but then September 11th occurred and everything stopped.”

With a B.A. from Stanford University and an MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, her degrees didn’t mean much in a shaken economy.  Looking for a real source of income, Sherry had an “Aha!” moment, while giving herself a pedicure with Warm Spirit products. She says, “I happened to be giving myself a pedicure – trying to de-stress from my grim reality, it was then I realized I knew so many people who would appreciate these products and I decided to give the direct sales industry a try.”  Fields started her Warm Spirit business in the fall of 2001. Six months later she found a job and returned to corporate America, again making six-figures, but she’d lost the passion she once felt. Continuing to supplement her income with Warm Spirit, she gained confidence in being able to embrace entrepreneurship permanently. Fields replies, “I remember dreading going back to work, even though I was making six-figures, I’d had a sweet taste of being my own boss, making my own money and on my own time.” Sherry officially resigned from corporate America six months after reentering and became a fulltime Warm Spirit business owner.  

The direct sales industry is filled with opportunity for people to exercise their entrepreneurial muscles and supplement the income they have. With today’s unstable economy, there’s no security in corporate America. With major giants like Wall Street’s Bear Stearns falling by the wayside, now is the time to take control of your financial destiny.  According to the Direct Selling Association, in 2006, more than 15.2 million people participated in the direct sales industry totaling more than $30 billion annually and $100 billion world-wide in revenue.  




The Gradual and Steady Climb

Warm Spirit is a burgeoning self-care, nature-based wellness company. The wellness industry alone is one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S., projected to hit the trillion dollar mark in sales by 2010. Sherry Fields is bringing home a huge piece of that financial pie and is here in Atlanta geared up to share with others the tasty fruit of her financial success. “Right now is primetime for those thinking of transitioning from corporate and starting a business without sacrificing their financial stability.” shares Fields, “I’m encouraging people to be proactive and act now!”

Fields insists hers was not an instant phenomenon, Sherry clarifies, “I started Warm Spirit with the sole intention of trying to supplement my income while looking for a stable job. I didn’t instantly make five-figures a month, but in two-years, that was my reality.  
Sherry has been featured in Essence Magazine and Success South Florida Magazine for being a Top Performer in the Network Marketing industry.  In 2003, Fields started earning five-figures per month, her first five-figure check totaled over $11,000. Today’s economy is no different than the economy was in 2001 – post 9/11 when Sherry was looking for a job. Sherry recounts, “One year after starting my own business with Warm Spirit, I was able to retire from corporate America.  Not only that, but in three years of working the Warm Spirit business, I was able to replace my six-figure income that took 14 years to build in corporate!”  Foreclosures, lay-offs and skyrocketing gas prices, with no relief in sight; many people are scratching their heads trying to determine financial contingency plans. Sherry says, “With the price of gas steadily increasing, who doesn’t need an extra hundred dollars a month just for that? I have an outstanding opportunity for those who are serious about stabilizing their financial future.”

Sherry is passionate about helping people live amazing lives, financially, physically and mentally. She’s excited about the opportunity she affords citizens of Atlanta, not only for those who want to make a lot of money in direct sales, but also for those who are just looking to add to what they already have. Sherry says, “I want everyone to know they have a voice in terms of their finances – in spite of the economy. I have the tools to empower people, and that’s what I intend to do.”
