The Accidental NetWork Marketer

I was walking the beach early this morning with my husband when I began thinking about how I happened to get into NetWork Marketing. Back then I just knew I loved the products. How could a very shy, quiet, introverted person like me end up in a "people" business??!! Well, I can tell you this, it wasn't planned. I found products that I loved, that worked for me and for others, that I was proud of and felt obligated to share with others..and then we started going to local meetings for more information about those products and because we like being around those positive, upbeat people.

When we needed more income and a new car, we thought that maybe I could just talk to more people about these products. I did that, became a sales leaders, earned a car and free trip to San Francisco...but I still didn't tell anyone about the business!!! I did learn to speak at meetings..my love of the products helped me overcome my shyness and nervousness. But it was only after I earned a free trip to Hawaii that I realized what a great business opportunity this was...and that I should be telling others about it....especially after my husband, who is a CPA, said that I was making more money in my little part-time business than many of his tax clients made working full time!

Time to share the business!, which is what I do now. I certainly am not a role model for how to build a network marketing business, but I hope I am an encouragement to others. My business was built accidentally and sometimes reluctantly...but I never quit, and when something didn't work out, I just shifted gears and went in another direction. I was never one to set goals and always worked the business very sporadically, and always part-time..but looking at what I have been able to achieve, I know that if someone comes in and has a vision, sets goals, makes a plan and works that plan consistently..they can achieve so much more than I have...and that makes me very excited about sharing this opportunity to do well by doing good, to be involved in something meaningful and worthwhile, to help change peoples lives and health for the better. Anyone can do it...and do it so much better and faster than I did!!

Financial Wellness is important too...

I've been thinking a lot lately about how blessed I am to have found such a great, meaningful in-home business...where I can make a difference in people's lives and "do well by doing good". I know my life and my health would be a lot different if I had not gotten involved, moved out of my comfort zone and shared what I know with a lot of other people. Here is a great link that explains why I do what I do http://tinyurl.com/dfc4wa. Thank you Barefoot Executive!!

Feeling younger while growing older

I think that one of the ways we can feel younger as we age is to exercise. That may be something many of you find hard to do, but it is so important...even more so as we get older. We all know how healthy it is to do at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 days a week , but working out with light weights and muscle toning is also extremely important. Strong muscles mean strong bones and a better metabolism...which slows down as we age if we don't do something to help boost it (like exercise). Personally, I feel so much better.. more energy, more alive...when I take the time to work out with weights. Start small..I have 3,6,8,10 and 12 pound free weights...and use them to work different muscles. Machines are good too, if you have the room. I have a Total Gym, which I love. I think rebounding (on a mini-trampoline) is very good as well...and fun! So try to up your exercise and see how much better you feel!!

Want to feel 25 years younger?

Most of us have heard about something called the French paradox, which suggests that even though the French consume a diet high in fat and drink a lot of wine, they have a remarkably low incidence of heart disease, compared with Americans. Most researchers agree that there may be something in the wine that offers protection. Now, even the highly cautious federal guidelines say that moderate consumption of red wine can be beneficial. This substance has been identified by scientists as resveratrol, and it may do more than protect the heart. It could even extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses. Soon there may be a pill that could give us an extra decade or two of health as we age. This video is about that research...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCBKfqanYX0 The good news is that you don't have to wait for the drug. There is a product now that is all natural and is a revolutionary breakthrough in the fight against cellular aging. One teaspoon a day provides the resveratrol in 100 glasses of red wine and is combined with the super grape to make it 10x more powerful than resveratrol alone in slowing a key mechanism of aging-AGE protein formation. Contact me for information on how you can get started on this safe, all natural, clinically tested product.
