Hello, I am Margaret OConnor and I am BookWise...
I am an experienced network marketer and team leader. I am also a raging book-a-holic with a secret fantasy of owning my own book store. I am amazed at my fabulous good fortune in finding BookWise to feed my book cravings and fulfull my dream of making a living by sharing great books!
Here is my Wealthy Wise Team site: BookWise

I started out many, many years ago as a computer programmer. I left the workforce to stay home when my kids were born. I home schooled and did day care for a while and then I started selling the advertising on church bulletins. I realized that I loved sales and marketing! The church bulletin company pulled out of the Chicago area just as I was having my first success as a multi-level marketer and the rest... as they say... is history!
Several years ago my kids and I relocated to a very small town in northern Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Michigan, surrounded by farmland and forest. I was so grateful for my MLM business because it allowed me to pick up and move without worrying about finding work locally.
Living in the Chicago area I was accustomed to world class libraries and bookstores. I love small town life but I don't think I will ever get used to being cut off from easy access to great books.
So I guess for me, joining BookWise was as much an emotional decision as a business decision... a way for me to reconnect with something I love and miss very much.
Two years ago my parents both became very ill. Originally from Chicago, they had retired down in Arizona 25 years earlier. But now they were in their 80's and my mother needed a great deal of care and my father had suddenly been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and now he needed care also. Once again, having my own MLM business saved my life, allowing me do go down there and get them, bring them up to live with me and care for them in my home. After a few months with us my mother passed away peacefully here at home. My father's Alzheimer's continues to get worse but he is still the sweetest funniest dearest man in the world. I thank God every day that I am able to be here for him when he needs me so much.
So now I (try to) balance my responsibilities to my kids and my Dad with my work as a marketer and web master... and sometimes find a few minutes to myself for reading, fishing, kite flying and a few other hobbies.
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you take a few minutes to explore this web site.
Have a blessed day!
-Margaret
