Wealth Creation through MLM and Home-Based Businesses

Before I go any further, let me explain how this all started. I got into network marketing as sort of a fluke. I had never joined an MLM before and new very little, if anything, about the industry. I had never even heard the terms “network marketing”,  ”multi-level marketing”, or even the infamous and nasty “pyramid scheme” before. This was probably to my advantage in that my view of the industry was quite neutral.

About 18 months ago, I was approaching my college graduation (at a very “mature” age for a student) and was contemplating my future. My decision to return to college occured at the perfect time in my life. I was mature, driven, motivated and focused. I had done very well, earning my B.A. in communication, graduating with top honors.  

What was next? A new job? A career? A career in what? Communication? Hmm…. It quickly occured to me that I didn’t want a job. I hadn’t worked for anyone in 3 years and had no desire to do so again. Now you may be asking “What about that degree I worked so hard for?” “Why did I even bother?” Well, the reason was more for personal gain that professional. For the first time in my life I wanted to finish something that I started.  I did and went out on top!

I did not want a job but I wanted to earn a lot of money and be free.  How would I do that? Well, I wanted to own a business. So, I began to write down exactly what I wanted in a business. Here’s what I came up with.

The ability to change the lives of an unlimited number of people

Time freedom to do what I wanted, when I wanted

Financial Freedom

Provide a product or service that was unique and in demand

The freedom to operate my business anywhere in the country and/or the world

No limit to the amount of income I could earn

To have fun

To be challenged

Be in an environment that helps me to become a better person

Where and how in the world would I ever find an business opportunity like that?! Was I just straight crazy or what?  How long will it take me to come up with an idea that would work? Even if I knew, where would I get the money for the start up costs? Who would help me?  What if I failed? I knew that I really wanted all these things and I prayed about it. Little did I know that my prayers were about to be answered sooner than expected. And the answer was right in front of me.
