After very long I woke up at 6am this morning to be out for a breakfast meeting at 7am! I can't remember when was the last time I ever did this since I left the 9am - 6pm corporate world 5 years ago!
For all those who are reading my blog for the first time... I left my profession as an electrical consulting engineer 5 years ago to do network marketing full time! I am where I am because of network marketing...
As I was driving to the meeting place, suddenly I asked myself, what would my life have been today if I still had my job and didn't find network marketing...
Yes, I would have climbed the corporate ladder. I can work real hard and I am a performer... yes, I would have been married with 2 kids and yes, I would have driven a nice car and take home a five figure income from job... but I don't think I would have been rich like today... no there is no way I would have been this rich!
I don't think, my mind, heart and soul would have experienced richness the way I do today... I am definitely not talking about money. One can make money anywhere but very few places that truly makes you rich and I found that in this journey that I took 5 years ago!
7 years ago, my only sister walked out of my apartment and said there is no one on this planet that can live under the same roof with me! My mom & dad cried many nights silently wondering what they did wrong with me... I was young, energetic, excited about making it in life but little my life contributed to anyone around me but only to the buildings I built!
Today, I sit with anyone and they tell me... their life is touched... the giant in them is awaken or they just feel uplifted! My sister says... she can't imagine her life today without me.... mom & dad love to have me around and most importantly... they just love to share their thoughts and hearts with me... and I give every credit to my network marketing leaders that worked on me for last 5 years! As much as many do not want to hear this, yes it is network marketing that created me today!
Then why is this industry so much dreaded by people?
In normal circumstances, I am not the kind of person that would look into network marketing as an opportunity. 7 years back, I met a very fine successful businessman who showed me how in network marketing I can be more financially successful then in corporate and business world... how I can make more money and have the time luxury that conventional system do not offer! He was so good that I was convinced and I bought the idea of this free enterprise!
Then I struggled to make money here. I, who took home a comfortable income from job struggled to make anything here... then life brought me to another amazing 'guru' who basically took me in his hands, turned me around... inside out and gave me back to the world! And that is the girl that went out and created what I have today!
The challenge this industry has today is, it is lacking of people that truly want to dedicate their lives to making difference to others. Many come into the industry only to make money and I guarantee you these same people put anywhere else will not really excel either! Don't get me wrong they might make money but making money is only the first step of your search to a rich life!
Network Marketing is a beautiful vehicle to finding the true richness in life... and how to find the right company for you? It is not the product, it is not the marketing plan or even the size of their office but the only thing that will make a difference to you is when you find someone in that company that can gain your trust and somewhere deep in you, you can believe that person can make a difference to who you are today... and when you find that person, join them and hang in there till you make it!
Let me remind you... it might not be the person who introduces you to the opportunity. Like me, I don't even know where my sponsor is now and the last I saw him was 7 years ago!
A true network marketing leader is the one that makes you the finest product of his or her organization!
Live Your Best Life
