About a week ago, a previous business associate contacted me and asked what I was up to nowadays & whether I might be open to a new “opportunity”. What he meant was a Network Marketing<\/strong> opportunity.<\/p>\n

I get contacted about these a lot. My first business was with a direct sale network marketing company (in the Travel industry). I made more in my first month with that one than I used to make in six months as a computer programmer. But after the first year, that company went out of business due to some decisions the owner made along the way.<\/p>\n

After that one closed its doors, I became one of about 12 people who started another direct sales company (this time in Personal Development<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

I spent 5 years with that company. I was a top income earner, a company trainer, and a mentor to thousands of people. When the atmosphere began to change from what we originally founded the company on, and it became more about the money than the people… I left.<\/p>\n

I spent the next few years living on savings, reading about different companies and their compensation plans, and looking for something I could start that I would have control over. Not total control mind you. But I wanted to know that any internal company changes would be MY choice so I wouldn’t be at the mercy of a company owner and what they wanted for THEIR company (which is their right…I just have different thoughts about honesty and integrity than *some* people. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So, here I am, six years later, learning again about the latest tools and marketing methods for Internet Marketing<\/strong>. Back when I first started researching it was all about email campaigns and fax blasts…boy we sure have come a long way…thank goodness!!<\/p>\n

I have no intentions of going back to another networking business. It’s just more work than I care to put into a business nowadays. Besides, I like the Internet Marketing arena and what it has to offer.<\/p>\n

I get to maintain my honesty and integrity in ALL that I do…no more “dog & pony” shows.<\/p>\n

I get to work ANY hours I like because I don’t have to concern myself with whether I might wake someone up or interrupt their dinner when I call them.<\/p>\n

I get to follow thru on my passions…teaching, mentoring, training.<\/p>\n

I get to assist others in getting past their own limiting beliefs and show them what’s truly possible.<\/p>\n
