First day in the life of a network marketer

Here I am quietly typing away in my office, trying not to wake those sleeping in the next room. My two grandaughters, Hailey and Kira Rose decided to spend the night tonight and fell asleep watching tv in the living room. So there they are curled up in their Barbie comforters sleeping like little angels. I should go to bed too because I know in the morning they will be lively and full of energy but here I sit at the computer, knowing it will take 4 cups of strong coffee to get me started first thing tomorrow. But that's ok because I made up my mind that nothing will stop me from persuing my dream.

I am a network marketer. I wasn't always one. I've had quite a few jobs but it always seemed like I was searching for something else. I couldn't figure out what. I ran my own Day Care, I drove a lunch wagon, I was a Realtor, a Property Manager but all those jobs started out great and then the fire died as I lost my passion for them. The reality was that I knew deep down all these jobs limited me. I could only make as much money as the job itself would allow, or the company would allow. Corporations were not even givng raises yearly anymore. I was searching without realizing it for something else.

One day while I was on Myspace I met someone and they offered to send me a candle. So I got the candle in the mail and I lit it and loved the scent and enjoyed that candle. A year later I could still remember what a great burning candle that was. The scent was Banana Nut Bread. But I still didn't get involved with the company that sold those candles.

I am passionate about buying products made in the USA. I decided a long time ago that I would do whatever it took to buy American made products. Then blogging came along and I started a blog about a search for USA made products. In my searching I find this little candle site in Wilkes Barre PA, a few hours from where I live and it was the home of that special candle that I burned a while back and loved. So I did it! I signed up as a distributor because I feel deep down that it is the right time for me to take network marketing seriously.

It's not about selling candles but about a lifestyle change. It's about finding financial freedom that you can't find in a regular job. It's about dreams and making them come true. It's a new start, a setting your life up for future success.

I made up my mind I don't want to be waiting on that social security check every month. I am 47 years old. The years are just flying by and in just a little over 15, 16 years, I'll be ready for retirement. It's hard to imagine but time flies and then it's here, so I want to be ready. I plan on becoming financially free so that I can choose how my lifestyle will be like in 5, 10 or even 20 years from now.

I am writing this blog for me because I need a place to let my feelings, emotions and thoughts out. Maybe you can learn from me as I write this blog, and hopefully you see the benefit of network marketing and who knows, it may be just the thing you are looking for. I know that I will probably be up for the next hour or so trying to learn all I can from those who have already become successful in this business. It's great that the people who have done it want me to do it to!

Come along with me on this journey to greatness.
