Marsha Martone

Welcome to The Women's Dream Team™! My name is Marsha Martone. You know, all of us have dreams when we start out in life. All too often others discourage us and we become conditioned to believe that we can't have the things that we want and deserve. ‘Don't try for that guy; don't go for that career—you won't succeed at that' are the words we hear.

The truth is—you must! You have to go for your dreams or you will never know what you could have accomplished.

What an enchanted life this could be if ALL our dreams came true. It was Walt Disney who said, “If you can Dream it, you can Do it,” and all of us at The Women's Dream Team™ feel the same way. As a founder, I want to welcome you to our community of women immersed in creating a future which you always knew deep in your heart was possible. You can be in a position, like I am, to empower others to achieve their dreams, no matter how impossible they seem. This is a magnificent place to be in our lives today.

My journey began several years ago when I DECIDED I was tired of making someone else rich on my efforts; and opened up a Vitamin Company. It was a lot more work than I had anticipated and I began a search for “the perfect business” where I would not have the nightmare of being in business alone. It took me several years, but I must say that in 1993 when I found our Corporate Partner—everything changed for me. Now I have the backing of a multi-million dollar company and none of the risk attached to being the CEO of my own business. This Corporation has allowed me to start a business for practicalliy nothing - that makes sense and works, and that is a rare thing these days. It is not so much about the money, but the lifestyle and future it allows all of us here at The Women's Dream Team™. The icing on the cake is working with who I want, when I want, how I want, and making the income others only dream about!

I love being part of this organization! My husband Thomas and I have been able to travel the world because of this business, and I have the flexibility to do the things I enjoy such as nurturing my creativity through oil painting, sailing on our sailboat ‘The Sonrisa' , and running with our Golden Retriever, Cognac.

My favorite words in the English language are: Freedom, Residuals, Teamwork and Time Leverage. These are not just words to us here at The Women's Dream Team™ -- they are a reality. We have designed a system that will enable you to stay home and make the income of your dreams, the income you deserve. Join our team of successful women and allow us to assist you in having a powerful presence on the Internet and in your community. The Women's Dream Team™ will enhance all aspects of your life and assist you in mentoring others.

Creating a beautiful life has many facets to it. We all want the best relationships and strong family ties, continual personal growth, the money we deserve, work we can feel good about, fulfilling spirituality, enduring friendships and, of course, good health. Wellness in all respects is powerful, but so is dreaming! My advice as a leader and long-time dreamer who has seen so many dreams come true is to never let anyone steal your dream. We want to assist you in doing all you have resolved in your heart and there is no better time to start than today. We welcome you with open arms into our supportive environment of The Women's Dream Team™!

Lori Francis

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lori Francis . I am Liam 's and Kyle 's Mom, Bruce 's wife, and Bonnie and Allan 's daughter. I am a great friend, kind and compassionate. I had humble beginnings, growing up the daughter of two working parents in Newfoundland , Canada . My foundation was solid and I learned early in life that it is not the quantity of time spent with someone but the quality of the time spent together that is important. Today, miles away and worlds apart, I remain close to my family and can honestly say that my Mom is my best friend.

My dreams and desires to make something of my life began before I can even remember. I always aspired to do great things. After graduating from college, I embarked on a journey into the corporate world of the technology industry. What an amazing opportunity for a young person! A six-figure income by the time I was 24 years old only spurred me on to greater success. I lived and breathed my work and along the way met many amazing people.

Priorities change! We had our first son who, much to our surprise, arrived three months early. It was a rough introduction to motherhood and my “maternity leave” was over before I even took my baby home from the hospital. My career took second place and I became a stay-at-home Mom to nurture and care for my son. During my time off (the hardest job I ever had!), we relocated to south Florida for my husband's job. After taking time to settle into our new home, it was time to get back out there in the working world. I was up for a challenge and my career took a turn as I joined an executive recruiting firm in the high technology arena.

Once again, success was mine! Life couldn't be better: wonderful family, great job and living where I had dreamed! Our second son two years later took us again by surprise when he also arrived three months early. However, I managed to juggle life's work and career as I started my own executive recruiting business. I am thankful for all that life has given me. I am truly blessed, to have a happy and health family and the love and support of those around me.

These are hard times in many industries. Business has changed and many of us are looking for new opportunities to create additional income streams. I recognize that we need a wide range of skills in our command to tackle today's economy. Teamwork and partnering are the trade names of this information age. The Women's Dream Team™ empowers us through collaboration and cooperation. We are talented, self-confident and instinctive. We are empathetic, respectful and engender loyalty. We share a vision. We reinvent rules. We focus on achieving. Together we turn challenges into opportunity. We are The Women's Dream Team™ to help you realize your Dream and make it a reality!

I am thrilled to be a founder of this wonderful organization. I not only have partners I respect deeply who offer so much to my life, but I have teammates who personify the characteristics I most admire: principles, beliefs, ethics, and compassion. Welcome to The Women's Dream Team™!

Susan Jenkinson

Someone pinch me please! My name is Susan Jenkinson . I live outside Charlotte , North Carolina and my life turned upside down on February 28, 2003 . Before that date, I was working for a private architectural/engineering firm, a profession that I had enjoyed for many years. But then I got sick, and I started losing weight, bones started breaking, and no one could exactly figure out why. On February 28, 2003 , I received the diagnosis of Celiac Disease. I knew nothing about Celiac Disease but learned quickly. Briefly, celiac patients must abide by a gluten-free diet, which means no wheat, rye, oats, malt, barley, and in my case, milk. I joke with my family and friends that every one of them has made me sick without intending to. It's a difficult diet to follow and the days after February 28th were some of my worst. First there was the feeding tube in my stomach that kept getting infected; then there were the feeding lines in my left arm that developed life-threatening blood clots during the year the Carolina Panthers were in the Super Bowl. Instead of watching the game with my husband, Jax, and our dogs at home, I watched it on a small television mounted on the wall of my hospital room.

I knew that I would never be able to work in an office setting again—the chance for infections was too great and with a weakened immune system from Rheumatoid Arthritis and now from Celiac Disease, that was a chance I wasn't going to take. My body may have been breaking down, but my mind wasn't. When I read an advertisement about this business back in February, 2005, I requested information and wrote, “I have absolutely no idea what you do, but I think I want to learn more.”

I enrolled thinking that if this didn't work out; I would find something that would work. However, I knew after the first month that I wouldn't be quitting. Through The Women's Dream Team™ I have met wonderful women here in Charlotte and across the United States . The last part of my story is that I died on July 11, 2005 after routine rotator cuff surgery. I spent several days in the ICU and left the hospital with heart, lung and brain damage. I needed The Women's Dream Team™ more than ever.

To say that I have been blessed in my life would be an understatement. I am the younger daughter of Don and Mildred who were married 49 ½ years before Dad passed away in March 2000. I was afforded the opportunity to earn my bachelors degree and then an advanced degree from one of the top engineering schools in the country. I learned the value of working hard, maintaining focus, never compromising what I believe, and the joy found in family and friends. I married Jax in 1992 and we have two dogs in our lives that make me laugh each and every day. I enjoyed every working moment of my “corporate” career. And now I have to pinch myself that I am a founding member of The Women's Dream Team™, partnered with Marsha and Lori .

The three of us live in different parts of the country. We communicate daily by telephone (thank goodness for unlimited long distance calling plans!) and by e-mail. We may only see each other a few times during the year, but every conversation is as though we've known each other our entire lives. We each have our strengths and I know that is what makes our team so strong. Marsha is our social butterfly—I call her the face of The Women's Dream Team™. Lori is our big picture thinker—she sees the future of our team and knows how to get us there. I'm the nerdy engineer (my own characterization) who sits in the background and makes sure that we have the resources necessary to train our teammates so that they, too, can achieve their dreams.

When I joined this business, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. But now I know. I am part of an organization representing a company whose values I respect enormously, and I am personally at my happiest working daily in shorts and a tee-shirt with one dog sleeping under my desk and the other one snoring loudly on a blanket on the middle of the floor!

Curtis Patterson

Welcome home to Women's Dream Team™. My name is Curtis Patterson and I am a single mother of two children who is absolutely ecstatic to be able to tell you what our organization has done to change my entire life and the lives of my children forever. A college graduate with an advanced degree, I went into Corporate America at a young age to make my way to the top of the corporate ladder in sales. Very quickly, I climbed the ladder to success only to fall after the most recent stock market crash where corporation after corporation came tumbling down. In fact, America is still reeling over the effects of the technology economy where stocks diminished to a few dollars a share. I found myself without a job, spending my executive retirement 25 years too soon, and trying hard not to file bankruptcy at one point in time.

By this time, the world had changed and the jobs had become scarce. I found that stepping back onto the ladder was not as easy as it had been before. Interviews were scarce, positions were specialized, and if you didn't have an insider segue into your market, your chances were slim.

My dreams were stolen away from me. But a lot has changed since those dark days of pure every day survival. It seems like a long time ago that I had to make ends meet with garage sales, odd jobs, temporary positions, and discouraging job interviews while looking for the position that was right for me financially and personally. I longed for a way to be financial successful again and use my mind in a corporate like opportunity without the corporate structure and discrimination. I also longed to be a wonderful mother whose children would thrive from the love and support of being home for them.

My dreams came true with The Women's Dream Team™. My days are now filled with a resounding job and excitement to be able to work from home and be a part of this amazing organization whose business model is the key to success for anyone who is willing to step up to the plate. I found the perfect blend of partnering in a virtual corporate environment with a team of committed women who help empower others every single day!

Ladies, if your dreams have been shattered or your hopes crushed like mine were, it is only temporary. Do not let anyone steal your dreams. Women's Dream Team™ gave my dreams back to me again. They are more alive than ever before and within reach! I will be forever grateful for finding Women's Dream Team™. You must reach for the dream that stirs within you. Whatever is real to you in your hopes or aspirations, you can accomplish with a little hard work in our organization. I am happy to tell you that I am now an executive of this organization, not only making ends meet but stashing back the savings that the locusts ravaged some years ago. My children will be able to go to college soon, and I am able to feel secure for retirement.

Let us show you a way to make your future complete and full of the dreams you have for yourself and your precious family. Let us show you how to create a financially secure freedom with an income beyond any corporate level today. Your dreams will be restored to you here. There is a reason you found us. We will be the wind beneath your wings if you can dare to dream and learn to fly again.

Janet Marie Crescenzo

Greetings, and a warm welcome to Women's Dream Team. My name is Janet Marie Crescenzo, a mother of four children, and proud to say, a grandmother of four. I am the oldest and only daughter of Don & Mil Cain, with four younger brothers. We are a close family from humble beginnings, my dad is still in construction and my mom to this day is a wonderful homemaker. We all live in South Jersey, the garden state, and I thank God that we are all doing well.

My background has prepared me well for the mission of Women's Dream Team, because total wellness has been my passion for over 30 years. After high school, I attended college to gain a degree as a respiratory therapist. I worked in the cardio pulmonary department with heart and chronic lung patients and it was then that I made the decision to take control of my own health and well being. With continuing education in the field of wellness, I became certified as a massage therapist through Our lady of Lourdes Holistic Institute, which exposed me to a world of holistic modalities.

I practiced in my field for many years until I met and married the man of my dreams, Phil Crescenzo. I put my career on hold to raise our four children, Michele, Phil Jr., Christian and Rachel. I was on a mission to make our home environmentally safer for our children to the extent that I made my own home hygiene and personal care products. I wanted to avoid the harsh toxic chemicals that are found in those types of commercial products. Chemicals like, formaldehyde, phenol, dioxin, ammonia, bleach, and an arsenal of petrochemicals that are now linked to many of the diseases that we are faced with today. The statistics are out, they are no longer a secret, and here are some that I would like to share with you.

Every year 5-10 million household poisonings are reported, the immediate result of accidental ingestion of cleaning, personal care and common household products. Many of these poisonings are fatal, and most of the victims are children.

Asthma is up over 600% in children, allergies are out of control, the use of Ritalin is up ten-fold, and cancer is now the number one killer of children. As far as our environment is concerned, we have done more damage to our oceans by the use of commercial detergents than all of the oil spills in history combined.

I don’t want to be perceived as an alarmist, but these are facts that need to be shared and this is part of our mission at Women's Dream Team™.

Now on the brighter side, 11 years ago we were so fortunate to have discovered a company that is now international that has truly enhanced our lives. A company that has made it possible for us to rid our homes of toxic commercial brands and replace them with environmentally safer products at a better price. A company that provides state of the art nutritional products, pharmaceuticals, home hygiene, personal care and cosmetics. We have been able to introduce this wonderful company to our close friends and family members and the results have been incredible. We now have several thousand customers who buy wholesale, direct from the company. While enhancing many lives, we were able to build a substantial six-figure income that has lasted over 11 years. The company sales have soared over the 500 million mark and are destined to be in the billions.

What does all of this information mean to us at Women's Dream Team? First we want to let you know that we are assembling a team of motivated moms and professionals to spread the word about our company. We are educating women on environmental and health issues with timely and insightful information. We are empowering women to take charge of their financial futures by utilizing their talents and abilities to make their own dreams come true. We are inviting you to be part of our “Dream Team” where knowledge, nutrition and lifestyle are the keys, and the sky is the limit.

Carol Booker

Hi, my name is Carol Booker and I live in a little town outside of Yosemite National Park called Oakhurst. I've lived here since 1993 in my dream house with my husband, Terry, of 37 years. But the question was, "Will we be able to keep it.”

I've always said that we have different chapters of our life. At first, growing up through our youth, getting married, making a happy home were dreams. I dreamed and longed to have children but after two surgeries, I learned that this wasn't a dream I would personally realize. That was so painful. My husband, however, had three beautiful daughters and I enjoyed watching them grow. And now we are enjoying our grandchildren.

Then another chapter comes in our life. For many of us, that chapter includes being caregivers for our parents. I helped my Mom care for my Dad in his final three years before his death. At the same time, my father-in-law, who had lived with us for 17 years, was ill and died two weeks before my father died.

A year after our Dads died, Terry and I moved up to our "Dream House" and brought my Mom with us. She lived her last six years in our beautiful mountain area. She was 86 years old, and oh, what stock she was made of! It made me appreciate good health even more. She and our Dads had good food, clean air and pure water, and what we once took for granted are now problems throughout the country.

In 2001, Terry was told he had cancer. In this chapter of our life together, I appreciated even more how important it was to watch what we ate. We chose to go the natural route. By changing his diet and having a regimen of supplements and good physician care, Terry has been cancer-free for three years.

Terry spent 35 years in the decking business, but that chapter of his life is now coming to a close. In March 2005, Terry said, “This is it. This will be the last summer for working.” We both believed that we would have to move from our dream home because, after all, when you work for yourself, there is no pension. I said, "No, let me see if I can start a business or do something to contribute to our income."

Now, I say, who is going to hire a 61-year-old women who worked for her husband for 35 years and doesn't use a computer at all? Well my friend Marsha happened to call the day after we'd realized that we would have to move. I told her my dilemma. “ Carol ,” she said, “I'm working with a group of ladies and their businesses are growing by leaps and bounds. Try it” I took her up on her offer, and joined the Women's Dream Team™. I have to say that since coming on board, life has been delightful!

This final chapter of our life, retirement, is so much more promising now. I don't have to worry about relocating at our age. Rather, I'm making new business partners and we are working shoulder-to-shoulder to fulfill our dreams together.

Now I not only get to stay here in the house I'd always envisioned, but I have a new goal: we will pay the house off in order to enjoy our senior years with financial security from our partner company. Right now we have our faith, good health, cherished friendships and a wonderful hope. I do welcome all of you to dream along with us and see your own dreams come true.

Shannon Vergun

Imagine this:

Your bills are paid, you work from the home so you don't have any traffic worries plus you go to sleep at night knowing you are doing the right thing, that you are affecting change in this crazy, wonderful world. Not only are you doing well for yourself but you are also building a business that you can pass on to your loved ones.

Welcome to the Women's Dream Team™ website. I'm Shannon Vergun . On the team's behalf, we are so glad you are here to find out more about us. Today you are just looking around; tomorrow we could be working together in our online conference room. We work with great women across the nation and have forged many important friendships along the way. Are you next?

I have had an interesting life, full of travel, excitement and wonder. For over a decade I worked in the Hollywood entertainment industry. I live in the northernmost end of Los Angeles County now, with my dear husband John , my two boys, Michael and Christopher and our Chocolate Lab “Siena Chewy Spice Girl”. Our beloved daughter Natalie works in Beverly Hills at Barney 's New York . From the outside, everything looks like the “picket fence” family.

After a successful career in the entertainment industry, I always thought that there was no challenge I couldn't face. Well, this one I am about to describe to you put me to the test. After having kids, I left Hollywood to work (virtually) with my mother at the University of Hawaii producing video for her environmental science program. We worked together to help minority students and to protect the environment. It seemed that I had it all: the flexible yet meaningful job plus the chance to be a mom, daughter and wife.

Then in March of 2003, our whole lives turned upside-down. My son told me that his school district-assigned aide had molested him repeatedly… For a long time, I was unable to let Michael out of my sight. As I watched our family sink further and further into debt I feared that I would not be able to work again but I was at a loss.

I've learned not to believe in coincidences. At that horrible time, my now very good friend Marsha Martone called me to suggest that I try out this online business opportunity. I told her that I wasn't a good sales person so I wouldn't be a success. Marsha explained that she wasn't looking for sales people, but for caring, outgoing people who liked to help others to succeed as well. Good communication and computer skills helped and I was on my way.

Now, I am writing to you from my home office. I work for myself but not by myself. My son is doing much better. I am that mom who gets to go out on the baseball field and help her sons warm up! Siena takes me for lots of great walks, too. My husband has the peace of mind that comes with a happy wife and less financial stress. I enjoy my life and make it a point to spend quality time with my family and friends. This is my simple dream and I am living it. I have bigger dreams, and the great thing is that I think those are going to come true, too.
