Defending my Profession

YES, I am a network marketer. I have chosen this as my career and have been doing it for just over a year... at first i was leery to tell people this because of the stigma so many people have with network marketing even though most people do this every single day, but the difference is, I get paid for it. 

So this is what my husband and I do for a living, along with his day job, which we plan to retire him from in the next 2 years. YES, i want to share this opportunity with people in my life that I care about. NO i am not trying to recruit and harass you! I am excited because I see how its changing peoples lives who we personally know and I want to share this with you too, because I love and care about you! We have someone on our team, that in 3 short months, is almost at the point of getting rid of her disability cheques because she makes more than they pay her!! How amazing is that?! Some of my friends and/or family struggle financially, living pay cheque to pay cheque and I know this could help them. Some are working 2 and 3 jobs to make ends meet and miss out on their kids events. Some make enough money but they hate their jobs, despise Mondays and don't get to spend as much time with their families. Some struggle with skin conditions such as eczema, adult acne, scars, etc that can cause them self esteem issues and I want them to try this product to see if it can help them. I'm not trying to sell them something so that I can make money... I genuinely want to help them! Some dont need the money and they have "perfect" skin, but they work 80 hour work weeks and have no time for anything else, maybe they are lonely and dont have alot of friends, so i believe that this positive community (NO its not a cult!!) would be a benefit for them. Or perhaps I JUST simply want to have them as a business partner because i genuinely love and care for them and think it would be amazing to work together while creating beautiful lives for each other and others. Its not what is in it for ME... not for one second. It is what is in it for OTHERS!

YES, absolutely there are bad network marketing companies and there are bad network marketers....... But there are also bad doctors, bad lawyers, bad retail sales people, bad administrative assistants, bad servers, bad corporate companies, bad small businesses.....You get the point....there is bad everywhere if you look for it. But there is also good..... and GREAT! You will always find what you look for. 

If I had a regular job and there was an opening at my work that I thought you would be interested in, you wouldn't be offended if I told you about it, would you? You wouldn't feel uncomfortable. So why are you offended or annoyed when I just want to share an opportunity with you? No one said you had to join me.  But wouldnt it be ok to just HEAR what is it your saying no to, that your not interested in.... It may be for you and it may not and that is OK! All I want to do is share something with you and allow you to make that decision. If your not interested after that, I wouldnt mention it again, we would still be friends and I would still care about you. We will still hang out. If you didnt like the job opening I told you about, would you feel like you had to avoid me or think differently of me? NO! SO why would this be any different?  Its the same thing. Network Marking is not for everyone and that is ok. It never used to be for me either. But after years and years of working 40hrs a week making someone else money, never getting any farther ahead, being envious of others who got to take 2-3 vacations a year, while it took me 3 years just to save for 1, struggling to make my mortgage payment,  I made the decision to just listen because I trusted the person who wanted to share it with me. All she wanted me to do was listen... Did, i at first, think.... OMG, not her!! why is she doing this? Now ill have to stop talking to her cause she will bother me all the time about this.... yes of course I did... because of the stigma that is attached to network marketing..... But i took the time to listen and make my own decision. She said she was going with our without me but wanted to tell me about it first because she cared about us........ 

One year is all it took to make enough money per month to walk away from a job if i had of had one.. ONE YEAR! It would have happened faster but we had suffered a loss in the family and we took some time for ourselves. But seriously... one year.... that year is going to pass by anyways! 

And i must mention, even if I didn't make 1 penny, the personal growth I have experienced in this past year is invaluable and has made me a better person. I have left my comfort zone, my comfy little bubble of safety, and took 1 step out at first, then a giant leap and I feel amazing! 

As I mentioned, this isnt for everyone. But how do you know its not for you if you dont be open minded and just listen. It could change your life! Why not YOU? You may not be interested in our opportunity (if you have heard about it properly and made the educated choice) but that doesn't mean you wont be interested in another one that comes along. Opportunities are everywhere, you just have to reach out and grab one. Just dont insult something you know nothing about. I dont tell you your job or career is stupid, a pyramid and a scam so dont tell me that mine is.
