My first exposure to network marketing was in the 80's and it has been a passion since that time. I simply love the industry! I love the freedom it allows.

I stepped out of the industry for a few years to pursue a hobby turned business with photography but quickly found that the love I had for photography was swallowed by the work of having photography be a business. So, I sold that business.

Played for a while and decided to get back into network marketing. I did not come into it lightly. I had a list, a long one of what I wanted from a company and I was not willing to compromise on that list. It took me a couple of years to find what I wanted! Yes, I admit......I'm picky!

First on my list was a consumable product in the health and wellness industry. It had to be something that was innovative and offered real results that people could feel. Found that!

Second was leadership of the company, direction of the company, etc. Found that as well.

Third was compensation. I hate binary plans so that quickly narrowed the list for me. I wanted a comp plan that would allow every associate to be profitable quickly and continue to grow. Found that!

There were a few more things on my list of course but those were the top three. When I found them, I got busy and once again found myself in the industry I love!

I do not believe that network marketing is for everyone. It is open to everyone but not everyone will do what they need to do in order to truly succeed with it. I don't like to recruit for that reason. I like to offer it, explain and let each person decide for themselves (without persuasion) if it is for them.

My biggest reason for being with the company I'm with.....at the risk of sounding like a cliche....... having the thrill of helping other people improve their life. At the end of the day, you can't take money with you when your time is up but you can leave behind the effect you had on others while you were here.
