“The greatest mistake we make is living in constant fear that we will make one.” ~John Maxwell~

For over thirteen years I worked full time as a firefighter. By far, I loved helping others who found themselves in bad situations more than anything. To have a job your passionate about is very rare in this day and time. My family was so rich. Not monetarily, but rich with happiness and love. However, your future is never guaranteed.
November of 2003, my son and I were involved in a collision while on our way to church. By God’s Blessing I endured all the impact while my son endured minor injuries and able to return home that night. Through this tragedy I became permanently disable with no hope to return as a Firefighter again.
After two years of recovery and returning to gainful employment, it was then I discovered how much I did not enjoy being behind a desk. Not able to return as a Firefighter left a void that was very difficult to replace. Being able to help other people and the passion I had for the job had ended. This left me searching for a new passion to fill that void. That passion was replaced when I found Network Marketing!
In Network Marketing, I once again discovered a career with happiness and the ability to help others. Well, let’s just say learn over time and finding the right mentor. I’m the first to say I’m guilty I’ve peddled my MLM product to my family and friends and they looked at me like I had a third eye on my forehead, non believers, all of them. It can suck the wind out of your sails can’t it? So many people are programmed today thinking you have to punch a clock to make money. What a sad life. Some things will never change. Trying to build your business this way simply won’t work.
Lucky for me I found a better way. After searching for an answer to my lack of success, I approached a successful marketer and asked for assistance. My now mentor and friend explained to me that one of the most important things to be successful is your mind and attitude while working your business. You have to believe in your company, the leadership, and the product you represent. Sometimes you have to commit to something to develop a passion. In my primary, I am proud to say all I have found and developed these traits. This advice alone has been a key to success, restored my passion and developed a sense of being able to help others once again.
