I want to start by saying this IS NOT A BLOG ABOUT RECRUITING.  I'm not even going to mention which organization I'm a part of.  Of course that information is not hard to find.  Also this blog wasn't written to debunk any common myths related to Network Marketing.

This blog is about the reasons I joined Network Marketing and why I think more people should seriously consider it.  My hope is that after you read this you'll understand why I decided to pursue this lifestyle and hopefully, become a little more knowledgeable on what Network Marketing COULD do for you.


My background
Allow me to start at the beginning.  I saw a problem a while ago with the corporate companies I had been with.  It went something like this.  If I work harder (usually more hours) then I would get paid more. Now most people would  say, "well duhhh."  But I didn't like that.  Can't I just work smarter and get paid more, or at least the same?

In my particular situation that wasn't the case.  The more productive I was, the higher 'the bar' was being set, and then I was expected to always work at that level without greater compensation.  Slowly my daily ritual became finding a balance between not working too hard and not getting yelled at.  My goal was to stay safe and do whatever I needed to do to keep my job because the economy sucks; only improving my work at key moments.  Maybe you've lived some of this story and maybe you still do.

I want to make it clear, I didn't hate my job(s).  The work was okay and every now and then a project would come along that really excited me.  I loved my co-workers and I seemed to get along with just about everyone.  But over time that wasn't enough and I wanted more.  What exactly I wanted I didn't know.

I noticed something else, the people making the big bucks always seemed to be stressed.  Always running around freaking out about something.  Now from a health perspective we know that stress definitely isn't good and it can age you quickly.  Screw that!  Hell, I'm still trying to become a vampire so I won't age.

Now since my goals of becoming a vampire and working less for the same amount of money didn't look very promising I knew I needed to find another way.  Enter Network Marketing.


Network marketing
This is what network marketing promised me which no other field seemed to do.  This wasn't an immediate promise but a promise of a 'real' future.  A future I could be truly happy with...

• TIME.  You work when you want to work and play when you want to play.
• FRIENDS.  You get to work with people you enjoy and are typically your good friends.
• TRAINING.  In my situation and I'm guessing other network marketing companies do this, you get training from the top earners in the company.  In what other business do you get to learn directly from millionaires? Most higher ups in the corporate world withhold information to maintain their position!
• VACATIONS.  Vacations and retreats where you have the opportunity for them to be paid for. There is no asking for time off and having to pay for the vacation myself only to come back to boat loads of work.   Network marketing companies are willing to pay for very exclusive vacations for your success, and my success is up to me.
• FREEDOM.  You can wake up when you're done sleeping.  You can work part-time or full-time.
• FULFILLMENT.  Your work is fulfilling and you believe in what you're doing.
• INCOME.  Your income is reflective of your work but without limits on income!
• LIFE.  You're living your life and not wasting away in a box.
