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!!
