Hi! I am Jackie Ladner and happy to be connecting with you!

Hi! I'm Jackie Ladner and happy to be connecting with you.

I'm a mom to my little black and white shih tzu doggy named Snoopy (he is in my heart) and wife to my best friend Tim, a freelance makeup artist with the best semi-permanent makeup in the world and a home business owner.

We have a wonderful life, living in little town of Carriere, Ms moving to the country after Hurricane Katrina took us away from the beautiful Mississippi Gulf Coast where I was raised my whole life. We enjoy country music, cooking (we watch lots of cooking shows), great friends, eating out, traveling and just enjoying life. Life is short, after all, so making the most of everyday is important to me.


I grew up in the beautiful little quaint town of Pass Christian, Mississippi along the beautiful white sands of The Mississippi Gulf Coast on the luxurious Gulf of Mexico. Although Hurricane Katrina took much of the coasts natural beauty away along with beautiful homes, people lives, and destruction I am still proud to call Pass Christian my home town. I loved living there, growing up there, and the people that made up that wonderful little town of Pass Christian, Ms and sometimes long to go back. The "Pass" is definitely recreating itself since the storm.

I love Candles; music; poetry; firelit dinners and concerts.

When I started in Corporate America, I loved it. The challenge; getting dressed up every day; impressing my peers and managers with meeting high quotas and expectations on a daily basis. Always being on top. That recognition when you are on top always feels so good at the moment. That lasted only for a short while.

Pretty soon, I felt overwhelmed with the challenges of never being able to
please everyone; I felt strangled by by my own talents and smarts (ladies I am
sure you can relate to this) ... (the more you know the more they pile on you
for a small or raise or no raise at all) and you get stifled by your cubicle,
your co-workers, managers, daily demands, ect. Where was the FUN in life?

My dad was an entrepreneur, and owned his own business in the seafood and auto industry most of his life. He was even mayor of our small town growing up. I am a lot like my daddy. I wanted to have the freedom that went along with that. So, I started researching and exploring!


I began my journey working from home on and off in the last 5 years and tried different home businesses. You know the old saying "we've come a long way baby" - well that is the story of my life. I originally pursued a home business so I wouldn't have a boss and to earn some extra income to suffice me working at the salon on Friday and Saturdays being a free lance makeup artist. After all, it's tough to make it on one income and I do have my degree in cosmetology. I had an amazing career in the pest control industry for years and had the opportunity to advance but it just wasn't for me. I needed to find my happiness. My inner peace and joy.

I wanted to become more entrepreneurial.

It shouldn't have been difficult. My dad owned his own business and was always "there" for us as kids; at sporting or school events growing up; and home for lunch in the summer. This is the life I wanted to lead and I was determined to find it.

I soon found that I really enjoyed working at home, in my own environment; working in my PJs, my workout clothes, or whatever; with my doggy by my side and making my own schedule and work hours. Once you have a taste of freedom, it's hard to not have an attitude about a boss making demands of your time.


Who wants a JOB and a Boss when you can have a Virtual Business that runs anywhere there is Internet access? That runs even when you are sleeping? After all, I wanted more than just a paycheck, don't you?

I wanted teamwork; to associate with like-minded people; and, more than
anything, I wanted to decide what I was worth in terms of a paycheck.

Well, it wasn't always easy, but it has always been worth it. Today, I have both time and financial freedom, and my real passion is working with and coaching others who have this desire on how to create the same thing. I still work at the beauty shop two days a week but I also love working at home and the success I have working 4 short days a week.

It’s never been easier or more affordable to start a business of your
own. The Internet has opened more doors than we might have ever imagined
possible. Not to make it sound tooeasy, because it isn't, contrary to what some
people want you to think.

It takes dedication and rolling up your sleeves, but the knowledge of knowing that you accomplished a business success story that is all your own is amazing.


Imagine starting a business with $50; your imagination and your network of friends and relationships. It’s being done every day by people like me and you.


Freedom of lifestyle and the income to support it are both being created through Internet and Network Marketing.

And this is not your father’s Network Marketing.

This isn’t “make a list of everyone you know and hound them to death.”


This is the finest in attraction marketing, a concept I love and embrace, especially online.


I was not a fast starter in the home based, network marketing world. But I was committed to success and personal growth so I dug in and educated myself. I listened to lots of CDs and conference calls; read lots of books and attended seminars when I could. Today, that commitment has paid off and I am grateful everyday.

Here is what I was looking for in the beginning -


• Flexibility – no
more 9 to 5, or boss
• Working with people
• Ability to create more than
a hobby income
• Spend more quality time with my family

Guess what?


I haven’t had a boss in over 5 years; I have created a great income; I have fun building teams with amazing people; and one day if God gives me kids I won't have to put them in daycare! What a freedom to watch your kids grow up and not have a stranger watch them!


I achieved all of that and more. And, along the way, I have coached and mentored others to do the same.

I would love to network with you and find out more about you!

Make it a blessed and prosperous week!
Jackie and Tim Ladner

About Me:


Hello! My name is Jackie Ladner and I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast about 1 hour from New Orleans, Louisiana with the love of my life, my husband and business partner Tim Ladner.



I work at home, as an Independent Distributor with a Gourmet Candle Company.



A lot of men and women dream of having their spouse or partner to work with in their home business. Many wonder "Why would a man want to do a Candle Business?"



As a trainer, coach, and mentor to my team which stretches across the USA and Canada, I'm committed to helping each member achieve their own definition of success. I'm also focused on coaching and mentoring those that express the desire to build their own organization of new leaders, to reach the top ranking positions within our company and team.



I'm passionate about helping others who have a sincere interest in starting their own home based business to make a choice that's right for them, respecting their own unique background, available time, and their talents, goals and vision. Together we develop a solid, realistic plan of action, and provide the training and resources they need to succeed.



Internet, or online marketing is the primary way I build my own business, through the use of a personal website, autoresponders, networking in online communities





I love the freedom of having a home based business. That's when I began my journey of personal and professional growth in Network Marketing, or Direct Sales.



When I was first introduced to network marketing, I immediately fell in love with the industry and how average, everyday people that had a dream, a desire, a willingness to commit and go to work could become successful entrepreneurs and home business owners.



Over the years I've met so many remarkable people, who have overcome many obstacles and challenges (like my own) and have transformed their lives, by their own dedication to help other people be successful. Each person, their background and story further the commitment I have to the industry to Network Marketing and Direct Sales.



Here's where you can learn about our home candle business, receive some free candle scent samples, a home candle business training course, a company candle business presentation CD, brochures and more.



"Success is not counted
by how high
you have climbed,
but by how many people
you brought with you."
Zig Zigler'

To much success!
