Hi all, I am a past network marketer. We had started back in the 1990's and sold as much as $10,000 per week in product and made as much as $20,000 in commissions. (That was just one month but we had many months around $15,000) Because of changes within our company, we were forced out of business and have decided not to do it again.
Why? Because it was a lot of work. It was a lot of stress. But it can be done if you are willing to put in the time and effort...
I work in the business world today and do very well. I enjoy learning to fly and playing golf. We bought a new house with our network marketing money and are enjoying watching our children grow up.
I wish you all good luck.
Brian.

That's great Brian!
I have children also and they are a huge part of why I do what I do. Improving their quality of life is my main responsibility as a parent.
I'm always glad to hear success stories of people making it with their ventures and being able to live life they way it was meant to be lived! Congratulations.
I receive emails on a daily basis from people that are wanting to free up their time, not working for "Mr. Corporate" anymore, but actually start working for themselves. And more time with family always seems to be their number one drive. I can attest!
But alot of those emails also have one thing in common, and that's fear! Fear of taking that "leap of faith" to actually get out there and do something. Not just TALK about doing something.
We are so "9 to 5" trained that it's so hard to break that mindset if you've grown up that way. That's not a bad thing at all because some people are fine with what they are doing. And that's fine.
But I was not. Growing up as a kid I've seen my father bust his behind, working at his night job to make ends meat for us. And the only time we would see him was when he was asleep and we were off to school.
Now as a father myself, I want every moment with my kids.
The only reason why I bring that up is because for every person out their that wants to work for themselves but are a little afraid to start. You must have some situation that you can use as your motivation to get past the fear......and just do it.
(A little off the subject but I hope you don't mind)
