Is your Why Clear and Concise?
Over the last several years I’ve become involved with several Network Marketing companies and a common theme is why? Why have I decided to change careers and put myself on the line?
My background is in Visual Merchandising, and I have owned and operated a landscaping business for the last fourteen years. Doing everything from hiring and firing, book keeping, growing my own flowers, doing the designs, installations, and working 24/7 from March through November.
When I decided to start the Landscaping business I made a promise to myself that the passion I have for gardening would not be compromised by the business. Well my passion did become compromised. You know the story about the shoe makers children? They went barefoot, and the plumber? Dripping faucets! I think you get the picture.
So what is my Why? I’ve had bits and pieces rumble through my head and gut and have been procrastinating putting it down on paper. After the past week of mowing lawns, weeding flower beds and waiting for checks to arrive its time. This is not to say I’m giving up the landscaping just scaling back
I know that there is a simpler way to achieve my dreams of time and financial freedom. I know that through Network Marketing fortunes have been made if you’re willing to learn and follow a leader.
I’m tired of dealing with employees calling in sick, taxes, clients unwilling to pay their bills, workers comp, and the feeling that I’m not going anywhere as fast as I want.
I want to be in a financial situation that will allow me to help family and friends if the need arises. I would like to travel the world and see for myself the wonderful art and architecture that past geniuses have created, and lay on as many of the beaches of the world that I can get to.
Helping others to succeed in this business is also at the top of my list. I know many new Network Marketers that are struggling as I am. If I can pass along a suggestion or idea that will help someone that will make my heart sing.
My father was in the landscaping business for over 40 years and he passed along a bit of wisdom that still runs through my head on a weekly basis; a complement received for great work, helping others, creating beauty from the heart is the real paycheck.
As I stated earlier I’m still a newbie when it comes to Network Marketing. I’m studying about generating leads, building this blog, and market myself as someone who cares about creating a true Residual Income. I’m not looking to make a quick buck I’m in this for the long haul and creating a huge nest egg that can be passed along when I no longer need it.
To the newcomers in Network Marketing, read all you can, study leaders within your niche, read and read some more. I hope it happens for you overnight but if not just don’t quit!
Wow, this is the first post to my blog. I’ve been waiting for days to do this, trying to come up with something to blow everyone away.
I guess the only thing to say is that I’m new to blogging. After some time I’m hoping that the words will come as I sit down to write. I’ve been actively studying Internet marketing and social media for over a year and what a great year its been, almost a college education.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
