Mom Helps Autistic Son with Home Based Business
Rana Burr is no ordinary mom. When her son, Montana was diagnosed with autism at the age of 6, she decided to take matters into her own hands.
“I didn’t want to settle for the services that insurance covered or that the school district provided,” she says. “I am trained in music therapy and I know the limitations of all of those modalities. I wanted to do whatever was going to be the most effective and all-encompassing, but I wasn’t sure what that would even look like.” That was until she found Relationship Development Intervention (RDI). The problem was, it was so new that she would have to find her own way to pay for it.
“My husband was in medical school when my son was diagnosed. We were basically living off of student loans and the Montgomery GI Bill. We did not have a lot left over for a cutting edge remediation program like RDI.”
So she turned to the only home-based business opportunity she had ever seen that would pay her well for her efforts: Team National–a company that markets a benefits package designed to save individuals and businesses money on a wide variety of products and services.
“You would think that it would have been obvious that I would use my networking business to pay for my son’s RDI program. But up until that time, I wasn’t making very much with it yet. Most of the people I talked to about my business were in the same situation that I was–no money. How were they going to buy a benefits package? I had to go to work to expand my circle. And now I had a big reason to succeed.”
Fueled by the desire to remediate her son, she began talking to people who were already in business for themselves. “Business owners already have the knowledge to see a good investment. I just presented the Team National benefits package in a light that made sense to them. Once I could get them to see how much money they could add to their bottom line, buying the premium package was pretty much a no-brainer for them.”
