I have lived my whole life doing what I was supposed to do. I had a 9-5 job, I did everything the way society told me to do it, and I was successful by definition. At least on the outside, but on the inside, I was miserable. I am sure many of you can relate!
I hated the job I was doing, I went to work dreading it every day. I had money but no time, I worked 60+ hours a week. It seemed like every 5 years or so my life crumbled and I sat asking myself whyyyyyyyy! Then I'd picked myself back up and go back to doing the same miserable life, But I always made the best of it, I worked hard and was dedicated to my daughter. I was able to buy things for us but never could take a vacation or take time to relax and enjoy my success. I always knew there had a better way but was afraid, because I was always told this is how to take care of my responsibility, I was never taught another way. Until I was introduced to MLM's and found there is a way, but could I do it? was it expensive? and a million other questions. I failed at a couple the first few times, mostly because I didn't like what I was selling (or only at least most of it). I was selling for the money not the people or the product. I found a company that I enjoyed and started to do very well, even just party time. So here I was making even more money, but at least the part time job was fun and my daughter and I can do it together, so I didn't mind that part.
Well in 2014 my life came crashing down. I was in a motorcycle accident. and the snowball started I lost my job shortly after that, I fell into a severe depression that turned into PTSD, I almost lost my home, all my bills got behind and the down hill slide kept going.
I made a decision to never go back to the world I was living in, I get told I am crazy, lazy and irresponsible for not just getting back up AGAIN to the world's idea of responsible. Some of my own family barely talks to me anymore. I hear the whispers behind my back, but I just can't handle it anymore. I enjoy being home doing what I wanted to do , I hang out with my kiddo, my mom and my GG. I finally have a clean house, all the time. I was enjoying life finally, just one LITTLE thing wrong, I had very little income coming in and things were falling apart fast. So I started to work MLM's more regularly and was doing pretty good, but then I added more and more and more and soon I didn't like much about any of them. I didn't feel any of them so its only been so/so.
I do make money selling stuff online, and I will definitely keep doing that. As for Network Marketing, I love it and I am still doing it but I am just taking a step back and deciding on a company that works for me and my goals. I am speaking with many of my mentors in my up-line and successful people across the business.
I am now choosing based on my needs, wants and goals. I love anything beauty....Makeup, skincare, health, fitness, fashion, and self confidence. Those are still what Ill stick with...so stand by and see what I am doing, new things are in the horizons and I want all of you to join me!! I know that many will never be happy with my choices, and you know what that's ok, because their choice to be a hater, not mine.
I am crazy, crazy enough to live life by my rules, by doing what makes me happy and enjoy this life not just walking the path everyone wants to me to do.
I am building a life I want to live and don't dread to wake up to every day, and if that's crazy so be it!

The truth about MLM's? You really want it? Are you ready for the truth? Can you handle it, I am ready to tell you my truth about the MLM business. Ok here is my opinion of the MLM world.
First off I love it, really I do. Are there days I want to give up and get frustrated...absolutely! MLM's are the business that almost anyone can afford to do. First off you need to get over the premonition that you should never have to pay to work for someone. This is a business, your not paying to work for someone else, your paying for an already proven system to make money. Your paying for the right to be associated with that company, similar to a franchise. With that being said they are not easy. If anyone says this is easy money and you can sit on your couch and watch the money come in, is lying .....seriously. Yes I do get to work from home, and I take off whenever I want but when I work, I work hard and sometimes for days on end.
This is a business, just like anything else you would buy or start. You must work hard, the nice thing about most MLM's is you can do it part time and still pay your bills with your full time job. You can build a empire or just enough to make the house payment, the choice is yours. Which is hard to say in about 80% of the jobs out there. You can move up, maybe bonus, vacation time, and some great perks, but unless you own the company, there is always a limit on the money you can make. I like knowing that however hard I work Ill get paid for it. Its hard for many people to get used to the concept of commission though. If you don't work you don't get paid. You hear of many people that say they didn't make any money, or not much and when you ask how hard they work they always tell me they work their butt off, but after talking to them more its often NOT the case. I have seen so many success stories, but they worked hard. Most of the time I do what they call a 90 day run. I work as hard as possible for 90 days and then I take 30 days off. I did that until I had the money to quit my full time job, now I spend a little time every day working on my business. the difference is this, I make my schedule around my personal life, I take vacation whenever I want and don't have to submit for approval to my manager.
The other nice thing about MLM's is there is thousands of different companies, so there is usually one for just about every person interest. I am not knock the jobs in the world, because MLM's are not for everyone, but what I am saying its an industry that everyone has the opportunity. Everyone can do it but not everyone wants to. If you want something different I say give it a try, most business start up cost in upwards of 20K and most of these range from $100-$1700 USD and so its really not a huge investment for the opportunity. Do your homework, ask questions and go with the company that best suits you. This business is about relationships and doing something you love so if you love the company then selling it becomes easy.
So if you want to give it a try or just have questions let me know, I'd be happy to answer. No pressure on joining my team or anything. I just like to be real about what I do so that people can get a real idea of what its like in this world.
