About Making It Work For Me

Hi, I’m Athena Pastures, the founder of Making It Work For Me, LLC. With over 15 years of experience in business administration, finance, and marketing, I’ve helped countless entrepreneurs lay the groundwork for success.

My entrepreneurial journey began in 2019 when I took a bold step away from my corporate role as an insurance underwriter. Armed with my Property & Casualty license and determination, I initially set out to build an insurance agency. Like many entrepreneurs, I quickly learned that success rarely follows a straight path.

What started as a single goal evolved into a diverse entrepreneurial journey. My first venture into business ownership began with a $50 investment in a vendors list, leading to my first business - Athena's Shopping Outlet. This experience taught me valuable lessons about international commerce and the importance of adaptability in business.

My Story

When COVID-19 changed the business landscape in 2020, I didn't let it stop my entrepreneurial spirit. Instead, I pivoted and expanded, focusing on multiple ventures including dropshipping and network marketing. During this challenging time, I even joined a health and wellness business to help people access essential cleaning supplies - showing me how business could be both profitable and purposeful.

A turning point came when I connected with a consultant who helped me realize something crucial: my diverse business experience and knowledge could help others navigate their own entrepreneurial journeys. This insight led to the creation of Making It Work For Me.

Today, I've transformed those early experiences into comprehensive business solutions. From webinars and mentorship programs to business formation services and funding solutions, every service I offer is built on real-world experience and understanding. I'm also expanding into innovative areas, creating business packages that combine travel experiences with professional development opportunities.

What sets my approach apart is that I've walked this path myself. I understand the challenges of starting multiple businesses, the importance of proper structure and funding, and the value of having the right guidance at the right time.
