In the direct marketing industrythere are principles that are key factors to building and achieving a successful home business and preventing a home business failure.  Home business failure comes when people quit. If the company your working with goes under don’t go under with it, restructure Your Business, and continue to pursue your “why”, your big picture results. You must overcome all adversity and obstacles that get in the way of your path to success.

I am a social worker (M.S.W), had a career in child protection for 18 years and did not want my child babysat or warehoused in a daycare. I found the direct sales industry in Sept. 2005 and attached myself with some successful entrepreneurs who guided me through the process. As someone driven by success there was no reason to not embrace this opportunity. The learning curve was great as I was not familiar with the language or marketing, web design, etc. I juggled a full time job, parenting, private practice, being a wife…and managed my home. I did it because I was focused on obtaining what I desperately wanted  to be able to enjoy everyday with my daughter. I have always been goal driven and have never “settled” in my life for anything less than what I deserved. I am in a very privileged position where I can empower people everyday to make life changing decisions - I believe this is just an extension of what I have always done in the social work profession - help people!   To success and changing lives! Mona, British Columbia I guess being an entrepreneur is in my blood - I watched my father grow a million dollar enterprise from scratch, with very little education - a lot of hard work and focus. Take all the good from that and learn to eliminate the limiting beliefs - that work has to be hard for example and there is a recipe for success. I believe - persistent would be the best word to describe me. Coming from my background in the beauty industry - I enjoyed the creative side more than the business side. However I learned that there are definitely things you have to put your attention on in order to be successful in any business. First for me I have to feel very strongly about what I represent. The products and the company. I have to know that I am going to leave people with a lot more in use value than they pay in dollar value. Then I can put my head on the pillow at night and sleep well. Then of course I feel success requires the right environment - the right supportive environment - one where you are encouraged and supported in your training and skill set on an on going basis. And then on top of all of that, personal accountability is required. I am human just like the rest of us and when things have come up in my life that are challenging I have been good at resisting, denial and procrastinating…but truly facing the challenge or obstacle head on and learning from it creates the best personal growth and advancement. By putting all of these things together, with the company I represent and the team of professionals, like minded individuals I do business along side of everyday - gives me the perfect environment for success. As a work in progress I still have mountains to climb - but I also have the best tools by my side.P.s. Hiring a personal coach, has been a great tool for me in my tool kit and I highly recommend this to anyone wanting to reach great heights.  Irene, OntarioI’m sitting on my chaise lounge in my beautiful outdoor room. The sun is blanketing me as I experience the nature that surrounds me in my own back yard. The time…..11am! Can you believe it! I am blessed to have found the opportunity to help me create the life I want rather than living the life that was happening to me. Did you catch that? HAPPENING TO ME! I now create my life through me. Total control. Very empowering. When others are complaining about the work week, deadlines, the negative employers, I have enthusiasm, inspiration, and desire to assist others to follow my lead. I love to connect with others from my heart and offer them this opportunity to “reinvent themselves” as I have done. My personal growth and self development has truly been miraculous. I have come from a place where I had lost myself, my identity to what was expected of me, to empowering myself to choose my path, design my perfect life. As a mother of 3 beautiful daughters I am so grateful that I have been able to show them they can be the creators of their destiny, that abundance abounds and being prosperous is a decision. This is the greatest gift I will ever pass on to them. Passion moves people to action and they have traveled this journey with me through my passion to provide a life of freedom and joy for them. That has been and always will be why I started my own business. I have shown them the courage to follow their dreams without judgment, to be free to make choices and to be connected to their inner guide. As George Eliot says “It is never too late to become what you might have been!”   Carol, UtahI have been in direct marketing for a little over a year. I began looking for something to generate an income that would replace the exceptional income that I was accustom to making. I had been in medical office management for 25 years but was ready for a change. I was working more hours than I was at home, and then was expected to be available the remaining hours. The Health Care Field being the ever changing field it is, created more demands on my time and lifestyle. I then, adopted two very young granddaughters and felt a greater importance to be home. So began the search. I have found much more with Direct Sales than just a great income opportunity. I found myself. I found that life is about joy. It is about service. It is about support of one another. It is about reaching beyond ones limits, or perceived limits and finding character, self esteem and peace. I am grateful every day for this experience as well as my association with others in this industry. Today laughter is no longer a foreign sound to my ears.  Mari, WashingtonAfter graduation I went to work in the telecommunications industry,  soon after starting my career technology took over the industry I lost my job,  At the time I was very devastated, and didn’t know the true blessing  it was.  I became a domestic engineer I had such convictions and passion to my new career and I was so appreciated for the great job I performed.  But I soon learned that I had the most demanding and underpaid career in America.
