The Revaz Family!

How did you and your family come to be in New Boston?
My husband and I are from Massachusetts and before
we got married we decided to buy a two family in Nashua, NH. We lived
there for 3 years and saved money for a single family home. In 2002, we
started looking for homes. We told our realtor that our dream was to live
in a small town that maybe had a river that ran through it....true story!
She brought us to New Boston and we thought wow, this is far from our family,
but this is exactly what we were looking for in a town. We thought about
it and decided this is where we want to raise our family, so we built our first
home in 2002. Love this town and can't imagine living anywhere else!
Can you please tell us about your business?
I am my own boss for a direct selling company, lia
sophia. lia sophia is a family built company that creates high -
quality, trendsetting fashion jewelry for over 40 years. This is a
business dedicated to connecting woman to their dreams.
How did you begin working in this industry?
I went to a show at friends house almost 8 years ago
and I fell in love with the jewelry. I wanted it all! I found
myself asking questions about becoming an advisor. I heard no start
up cost, so I had nothing to lose, so why not give it a
try. I did my first show and made over $400 and I was hooked! I
have always had a passion for fashion, so this was the job for me. I was
a stay at home Mom with 3 kids and at that first show I realized I needed to
get away from my kids! I now have 4 beautiful children and I am able to
be home with them and work around their crazy schedules. I love that I am
able to contribute to the family more than I ever dreamed possible AND I earn
trips every year to amazing places.
How do you balance family and work?
Family comes first! It is never easy being a mom trying to juggle a
job with a family, but I couldn't do it alone. I have an incredibly
supportive husband who is home with the kids when I am out at a show or a
meeting. I set my own schedule and I work around my children's
activities, so being able to do this is a huge plus. I think that I am a
better Mom, because of lia sophia - I needed something for me! I
thank God everyday for the opportunity to raise my family and have a great
business.
Do you have a favorite party moment?
My favorite and best hostess in almost 8 years was my guy friend
from high school. My friend Rick called me up and said I love having
parties and I want to host a lia sophia show. I said GREAT Rick this will
be fun to catch up with you and your husband. He called ME 2
or 3 times a week before his show to discuss everything from where I would
display my jewelry to what he was making for cocktails. He had over 40
guests and the best spread. He had his menu planned for 2 weeks! We
had so much fun and the sales were close to $2000!!
Do you have any business advice for other working mother’s?
Make time for you and for your family.
Family should always come first, so give them your full attention. Don't
ever be afraid to ask for help. You can have it all with balance and
support!
