That was a BIG mistake!

Leaving a nice corporate job and getting out on the skinny braches with no startup capital was arogant and a bit premature. Things didn't unfold as I'd expected. A fledgeling marketing consultant who couldn't get gigs for himself... yup, that was me. 

Some time around that time, my wife has a chance conversation with a psychic. She shows her my picture and hears back, "Oh, this guy is going to make a lot of money in MLM." 

Whaa?

Let me tell you something. Not only was I a big skeptic about "all these piramids" and "communist party conventions", I was an even bigger skeptic about psychics. When Irina brought this news to me, I laughed her out of my basement "office".

I forget that convesation and continue on going to to networking meeting and getting nowhere.

3 days later, I am getting on this webinar that shows how to get more referrals. And there is this new greeting card service that allows sending printed, real greeating cards via USPS and Canada Post -- right from your computer. You point, click, and type and they do all the hard work: print, fold, stuff, stamp and send. That tool is a Godsend! Not only can it help my business, it can help those few consulting client that I did have at the time.

As the webinar is nearing the end, they are discussing the costs. And don't you know it, the company is using the network marketing business model to introduce its product to small business owners and individuals!

And so my network marketing journey begins.
