“As a teacher, I never made what the superintendent makes. If you work in a corporation, you will never make what the CEO makes, but no one questions or scoffs,”
Written By Dominque Huff
Social media is buzzing with terms like ‘boss chicks,’ ‘high value,’ ‘entrepreneur,’ ‘passive income,’ and others to discuss everyone who claims to be making money, getting money, and living their best life. While most just type and talk a good game, Tyroncia Carter is doing the work and has the receipts to show for it.
Carter was living her dream. She was married with children and working as an educator in her college field of study, but the money just did not match her investment and commitment. She was ready for a change, with 15 years of education experience on her resume. Initially, she was told about network marketing, and like most others, she politely declined.
“I declined initially as I didn’t want to become another worker bee making others rich while I just got pennies,” she recalled. “Then, my husband was like, give it a try as the products are affordable, and teachers could buy it on their salary.”
Carter gave herself a goal of making $500 by the end of her first year. She started the business in March and made her goal by the end of the month.
Like many others, she had issues with network marketing, but she critically considered how it operates like any other business.
“As a teacher, I never made what the superintendent makes. If you work in corporate, you will never make what the CEO makes, but no one questions or scoffs,” she thought. “In network marketing, you earn your keep, and there’s no salary cap beyond the cap you give yourself.”
What started as a side hustle to help stretch a teacher’s salary ended up replacing it. Carter loved the classroom and her impact but looked at how she could use her skills differently.
“My passion and love for teaching is still there,” she said. “I just have a different classroom.”
Before you quit your job, network marketing, like anything, requires mastery and comprehension.
“You have to tailor things to what is comfortable for you based on your passion. I had a passion for fashion and jewelry, and I learned the craft of the business,” she explained. “The thing about the business is you can work it in so many different ways. Once you master it, you can help your team tailor it to your comfort.
She documents her journey and experiences in three books: 6 Figures and Beyond, Secrets to Success for Women in Business, and Journey To Six-Figure Income: The Blueprint.
In these books, she talks about her journey to making six figures, advises other women in business, discusses network marketing, and provides some inside tips to guide you in the industry. When asked about advice for those considering business or in their early phase, her response is simple–do the work.
“You have to set goals and standards for yourself and then meet them. Network marketing is a business where you will see the fruits of your labor,” she explained. “The pay reflects how much you work.”
Working through Paparazzi, consultants can earn 35 to 45 percent gross profit for each item sold. The 2021 Income Disclosure Statement reports income earned by consultants will vary on the time, dedication, and effort each consultant puts into their Paparazzi business. Succeeding as a consultant requires hard work, and there are no guarantees of success, but consultants who invest time and effort into such can see some income.
Her team includes 128,000 consultants within the Paparazzi Organization. She is a 7-Figure Earner-Bling Boss Recipient, Crown Club 50 Member, and other notable titles.
Carter’s husband is also a business owner with a cigar brand. Being married to a business owner encouraged and held each other accountable. It also provided more time for family and parenting.
“I became the parent I wish my students had when teaching. I was involved and engaged as a partner in the learning process,” she said. “When I was teaching, I would be involved in after-school clubs for the students, grading papers, working late, and doing lesson planning to the point I was too tired for my children. After I left that career, my son told me I was much happier. “
Regarding her husband, they are building an empire together, working on their passions.
“Once we became business owners, we both were allowed to do this full-time. We had to come together on what we wanted this to look like,” she explained. “We made a pact knowing that we are on to something bigger. We go over our goals and decide what we want to achieve together, which helps us unite in front of our children.”
