At least I didn’t.
Ever.
Quite the contrary to be exact.You see in my little part of the world, network marketing, MLM’s, whatever you want to call them, well, they were comparable to curse words. BLEEP!  Companies like Amway or any MLM involving a gas card and a big check in the mail for no work were talked down upon when I was a kid. And I remembered ANYTHING and EVVVVVERYTHING my dad talked poorly about in ANY way. I didn’t want to upset the sleeping giant.

I wasn’t crazy.
Ha!

That was my natural assumption surrounding whatever the heck network marketing even was…and that was the extent of my knowledge of the industry, as well. I did actually tutor the kids of one of the highest paid guys EVER in network marketing, though, when I was in middle school. He seemed nice enough. But, I just went with the consensus. For the most part, MLM’s must be
scams,
shady, and
something to steer clear of.Then one day I became a Beachbody coach. I didn’t even really know what a coach was (which was totally out of my character). I knew a lady would reach out to me every now and then to help me get results in my workout. She was nice and helpful and she was a coach. She told me I would be a good coach since I was so into my workout. Then she finally convinced me when she told me I could get a discount on some things I had decided to buy.

SAVE MONEY? EVER? I’M IN!
I am the money saving QUEEN. If I can figure out a way, I’m all ears and the next day, I was a “coach”.

Welp, about a month later, I wondered if that helpful lady was somehow getting paid to do what she was doing. She was always there when I needed fitness advice. Now she was encouraging me to read some books to work on the inner me too. Dang..her job seemed to be a LOT more fun than mine. So, I started reading the fine print to see just HOW could I possibly make some money doing this. I’ve always wanted to get paid to do what I love…MAYBE this was IT!

Then, right there in the fine print, right in front of me, the words…THOSE WORDS were staring back at me. It was as if I transformed into one of those cartoon characters that would see something shocking and their eyes would blow up real big, popping off their face…

How was this POSSIBLE?
Had I been duped?Omg…do other people KNOW that I’m in Multi-Level Marketing (MLM)?

I immediately wanted to take cover. Ha!

Where could I hide?

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOT ME!
HOW? WHY? OH MY!
I was most likely to succeed in high school and I’m already a waitress (which was bad enough). NOW THIS?

What was I going to do? It was if I had been punched in the stomach.

I was ENJOYING being a coach. I was getting crazy amazing results from my workout after having spent hours a day FOR YEARS in the gym. I had sworn I would NEVER be a shake person and I don’t know how, but this shakeology stuff literally made a night and day difference in the way I felt. My body would go “AHHhhhhhhhhhhh”. Sometimes OUTLOUD! HA!

And now, now I’d been working on ME.
The real me.
I was rediscovering my potential in life.
I was gaining confidence.
I was coming out of the dark hole that I had felt trapped in for so long.
And now THIS?? CRAP! But how could something that was doing such GOOD be so bad? Or be a scam? Or be shady?

To MLM or not to MLM that was the question.

Something deep in my gut said I HAD to keep going. I HAD TO.

WHAT IF this was a GOOD thing?

WHAT IF this was the “thing” I’d been looking for?

WHY NOW did I care so much of what other people thought?
And how often would I wonder what COULD have been had I stuck it out.

I was staying.

1. I wasn’t going to tell anyone I knew about this discovery. Ha! (which can be super tough in building a network marketing business).
2. I was going to give it my all. I didn’t know what that would entail or what I was doing AT ALL, but I knew that anything I’ve ever wanted or gone for required going all in and I was going to give THIS that same chance.

P.S. Not only did I stay, but I stuck to my commitment. Five years later, I am a 7 figure annual earner in MULTI LEVEL MARKETING (AHHHH!) chasing my dreams, in the best shape of my life, but most importantly, I’m living life with intention. I’m not depressed, searching for a way out anymore wishing there was more. Instead, I’m passionately facing each day searching for other people that felt stuck like I did but have a glimmer of hope left in their gut that they TOO can make a difference. My team: Dare 2 Dream is a whole bunch of like minded, super positive, amazing people that has decided to ignore what society thinks, to go against the status quo because we want to feel better. We want to leave a mark and we want to matter. The business is a bonus. Want more info on what exactly I do and if it could be a good fit for you?
