Time to share the business!, which is what I do now. I certainly am not a role model for how to build a network marketing business, but I hope I am an encouragement to others. My business was built accidentally and sometimes reluctantly…but I never quit, and when something didn’t work out, I just shifted gears and went in another direction. I was never one to set goals and always worked the business very sporadically, and always part-time..but looking at what I have been able to achieve, I know that if someone comes in and has a vision, sets goals, makes a plan and works that plan consistently..they can achieve so much more than I have…and that makes me very excited about sharing this opportunity to do well by doing good, to be involved in something meaningful and worthwhile, to help change peoples lives and health for the better. Anyone can do it…and do it so much better and faster than I did!!

The Accidental NetWork Marketer by Sandi Ferreira
The Accidental NetWork Marketer
I was walking the beach early this morning with my husband when I began thinking about how I happened to get into NetWork Marketing. Back then I just knew I loved the products. How could a very shy, quiet, introverted person like me end up in a “people” business??!! Well, I can tell you this, it wasn’t planned. I found products that I loved, that worked for me and for others, that I was proud of and felt obligated to share with others..and then we started going to local meetings for more information about those products and because we like being around those positive, upbeat people.When we needed more income and a new car, we thought that maybe I could just talk to more people about these products. I did that, became a sales leaders, earned a car and free trip to San Francisco…but I still didn’t tell anyone about the business!!! I did learn to speak at meetings..my love of the products helped me overcome my shyness and nervousness. But it was only after I earned a free trip to Hawaii that I realized what a great business opportunity this was…and that I should be telling others about it….especially after my husband, who is a CPA, said that I was making more money in my little part-time business than many of his tax clients made working full time!

Social Networking To Grow Your Business
Are you involved with Internet marketing, network marketing, or direct sales? If so, please read on because there are gems in this post just for you.
How would you like to become a distributor or representative that you’re up-line dreams of having?
If you’ve been around multi-level marketing or network marketing for any amount of time, you have experienced the push and sense of urgency that is instilled by many trainers, coaches and mentors.
There’s a whole new train of thought growing about how to successfully grow your network marketing business. Social networking, attraction marketing, and a law attraction are all playing a part in how people conduct business these days.
First of all, let’s talk about social networking. It’s the same as if you just moved into a new town. At first he spent some time getting settled in and making sure that you’re comfortable in your new home. What your comfort level roles in your own surroundings you can begin to venture out into the neighborhood and surrounding area.
The same holds true in business. All of us, when first starting out, need to gain experience and exposure before we can really begin to promote our business. By getting comfortable in our own homes, in our own domains, we gain a sense of confidence that begins to grow daily.
Once we begin to venture out into the neighborhood and introduce ourselves to our neighbors and local businesses, we start to get a sense of what our surroundings, our neighborhood and our community is all about. This is a vital step that many people miss when starting out with their new business.
By assuming that just because you have a product or a service, people will buy it, you’re closing yourself off from the chance that some of those neighbors and businesses might be able to help you with your own business.
Don’t make that mistake. Be proactive in your approach to your new business. Get out there and press the flesh, shake some hands, make some friends. In the long run it’s the best thing you can do for yourself and your business. Giving people a sense of who you are right from the beginning takes away the guesswork later on.
Look at each day as a new opportunity for growth both in yourself and in your business. Look also for the opportunity to help other people with their businesses. By becoming an asset to your community, you will endear yourself to those around you, and you will also find a higher degree of loyalty and willingness to help from those same people.
If you take the strategies that I’ve spoken about here and apply them to your current business, integrating them with what you’re up line is also teaching you, it won’t be long before you pass your sponsor by in sales and recruitment.
As you may have read in some of my previous posts, my belief is that in order to truly succeed need to help others to do the same. Please let me know if there is anything that I can ever do to be of assistance to you.
