The beginning of a journey in network marketing
by ohana network · Filed Under: Network Marketing and MLM
I was introduced to multi-level marketing by my best friend and her husband. They had been involved for a short time, had had some real success and decided to bring me in. Getting me involved wasn’t so easy. They didn’t actually take me through “the system” to get me involved. It was more along the lines of “this thing is awesome and you’ve gotta do it!” Under normal circumstances, this type of recruiting is a big “no-no”. However, they were my friends, and were already very successful traditional business owners. One would think that if there was anyone I would listen to it would be them. Instead, I had every excuse and objection one could think of. After about two hours of countering my objections, and shooting down all excuses, I finally gave in. I figured that I had very little to lose, and a lot to gain. I didn’t know it then, but I was wrong.
I sat on my new opportunity for about 2 months before I finally took action. I had no idea what I was getting into . I went to my first “opportunity meeting” and it was a done deal. I immediately saw the vision and the whole thing just made sense. My dad and stepmom came to my first meeting and they got excited too. I immediately recruited them as well as a cousin and my brother. I was so anxious and excited, I couldn’t sleep at night. I told everyone I knew about my new business. I experienced an emotional high unlike anything I had ever experienced before. I truly believed that that excitement would continue and that all was well with the world. I had ARRIVED! I had found MY CALLING and PURPOSE IN LIFE! This home-based business was MY DESTINY, MY MISSION, my path to FREEDOM and WEALTH!
It didn’t take long for that that roller coaster to come to a screeching halt!
