Women around America are starting their own businesses. Some come needing to make a little extra money each month and have fun in the process. Others come with the ambition to make a lot of money, be independent, and do it in the company of others who share their same passion. Whatever their goals, they all come to discover the joys of a business built around creating a beautiful home.

From burned-out corporate executives to stay-at-home moms who want something they can call their own, Villa Beautiful has quickly become a source of connection, opportunity and reward. Villa Beautiful has attracted entrepreneurs from across the nation who seek to meet their personal and financial goals in style.

This year a growing number of more than 12 million Americans will attend some sort of network marketing home-party. The home-party segment is the fastest growing and most popular in the $500 billion direct sales industry. "The flexibility of our opportunity offers Consultants the chance to provide a substantial income into their household while allowing more time to be there for their families," Mary Lou Retton, Company Spokesperson, said.

Villa Beautiful launched its operation with 10 Consultants, and after only eight months in operation, the Company has nearly 250 Consultants, and the number continues to climb daily. "While most American companies would be thrilled with a 20% annual growth rate, Villa Beautiful consistently performs a monthly growth rate of more than 20%", David Balzen, CEO, said. "Villa Beautiful began adding Consultants at a rate of 1 per day in the beginning, and in recent days we have seen as many as one per hour sign with the Company," continued Balzen.

Celebrating early success after its recent launch in the Spring of 2003, Villa Beautiful is a network marketing company specializing in the sale of home and garden accessories through an independent network of distributors. Villa Beautiful has an active distributor network with more than 240 authorized Consultants in 24 states. Villa Beautiful's products include classic home and garden accessories, a custom candle line, gourmet food and coffee line, and numerous unique home and garden accents.
