At around twelve o'clock p.m. on Sunday afternoon it would happen- just like clockwork. Those twinges of anxiety would start to creep in. That uneasy feeling and bad attitude would begin to settle in for the week ahead. I hated Sunday because just like every other Sunday I had spent for the last decade it would end and undoubtedly roll right into another Monday.
I was my own worst enemy. Here I was, in the prime of my life and all I was doing was wishing my life away. From noon on Sunday to quitting time on Friday all I could do was think about how much I wished the weekend would come. I was so focused on getting through the week that I wasn't living my life. I wasn't enjoying the things around me and I was missing everything.
I was wishing away my youth. I was wishing away my happiness. I was wishing away all of the landmark moments that my children were growing through. I was wishing away everything.
I sat back and thought, "This has to stop!" We only get one life and need to make it the best we can. I certainly wasn't doing this when you consider I was spending roughly 130 hours of my week wishing they would go by faster. It was time to do something that would let me "sit back and smell the roses".
I was done. I could no longer allow Corporate America to have this hold over me. I needed to find something that could give me my life back. There are too many things that I want to do and too many experiences that I want to have. Living my life over the weekend just wasn't going to provide that for me.
I could taste the freedom. I imagined a life where I didn't dread waking up in the morning. It was right there and I knew I deserved it. I wanted to be passionate about my life again. I was ready to do something that made me feel good. I was ready to be happy.
But what was it? How could I do it? How could I get to that place that I had dreamed of so many times? I knew my destination but had no clue what vehicle I was going to take to get there. What was I going to do to rid myself of the shackles of Corporate America?
I wanted to free myself so badly that I could taste it. I envisioned and lived my new life within my mind. I visualized exactly what my new life would be. So, it was no surprise that the answers I had been looking for, found me. It was the Law of Attraction and it was the opportunity of Network Marketing/Direct Sales.
It was a way for me to become the entrepreneur that I always dreamed of being without "breaking the bank". I could do this from the comfort of my own home and now I made all the rules. It didn't matter that I wasn't a salesman. Heck, I couldn't/wouldn't hard sell anything- it's not me, it's not my style. So, I found a company with a system, a proven marketing system that afforded ordinary people the opportunity to do extraordinary things. It gave people the ability to live the life they wanted to live and not one dictated by the reigns of debt and insecurity.
There are countless others like me, those seemingly lost souls, who know that they deserve much more out of life but who are just unsure how to get what they deserve. For many the answer is as close as Network Marketing, Direct Sales or Multi-Level Marketing.
To be successful though you must look at minimum for the following attributes in your opportunity:
- Find a mentor who will be able to guide you and assist you on your journey to success.
- Find a company with a proven track record with a simple, yet powerful, marketing system in place that is easy to duplicate and that the company will provide you with the necessary training to assist you on your way to success.
- Make sure that the company/products are something that you are passionate about. Without your passion there is virtually no chance for success.
Follow your dreams. Follow your bliss. You do deserve the lifestyle that you want. You can do this!
