This was me about 8 years ago

I was 23 years old and lived with my partner in a 3 bedroom Semi detached house which we were renting and sharing with 3 other people. There were 5 of us living there in total. I really enjoyed my time at that house, it was great spending time with people I got on with and was friends with but I really want to get on the property ladder for myself.

Unfortunately there was no way I was going to be able to afford a mortgage and the money we were paying the landlord was just dead money. It was going into lining his pocket and making him wealthy rather than us!

One of my house mates at the time introduced me to a network marketing company and we started going to all the house meetings and hotel meetings. I'd got a full time job during the day and had to do this in the evening and in my spare time.

My relationship with my partner suffered because of this, but that was because I wasn't able to separate my work from my life and everything merged into one and became a big mess. This is one of the things you need to learn to do because taking your work life into your relationship and vice versa is a bad thing to do. It can really cloud your thoughts, stop you from being productive and creative and give you a big headache.

Myself and my friend would go along to the local hotel and sit down to chat with our upline. He'd explain how it all worked, build the dream, give us advice and information about the business and compensation plan etc and lay it all out for us. I made a list of everyone I knew, including my family, friends, colleagues, and old acquaintances and I contacted as many of them as I felt comfortable contacting. There were other people on my list, whom I didn't want to contact about my business opportunity just in case they laughed at me, rejected me or turned me down.

In order to contact some of my friends and family to tell them about this new business, I had to overcome a few hurdles. I wasn't very good at talking on the phone and found it uncomfortable basically begging people to join my business. I hadn't got much posture on the phone at the time.

I sponsored a few friends and family members into the business, but like me, they struggled to sponsor anyone else. They were paying money out each month for their autoship and I wasn't sure how much longer myself or my friends could afford to stay in the business whilst we weren't earning any money. We were spending more money than we were making because we had to buy the products each month and pay the membership fees etc.

I was dedicated to the business but unfortunately the friends I sponsored weren't as dedicated and committed as I was, and I was finding it very difficult to motivate them.

I was working a full time 9-5 job which I desperately wanted to quit so I could spend more time with my family, friends and Internet business. Initially, I just wanted to earn a bit more cash from the network marketing business so I could afford to take my family on a few nice holidays, and have more money for food, petrol and the general household bills.

My expenses seemed to be increasing each month, and the cost of petrol, food, bills and property seemed to be skyrocketing. All I wanted to do was to earn a little more money to enjoy life a bit more!

I started reading books and training materials which the company told me to read and I started to listen to the motivational CD's they'd given me. I also started reading books and learning from people like Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracey and other motivational self help guru's. I loved this side of it!

I figured that if I was going to be successful in this business, I'd have to increase my knowledge and learn as much as I could about motivation, persuasion, offering value to others and much much more.

I put some adverts in local shop windows and in the newspapers and had a few people contact me, but no one actually joined my business from this activity. Maybe I didn't do it for long enough, but it was taking me a lot of time to do and wasn't really paying off.

I was running out of time each day and wasn't able to achieve as much as I'd have liked. It was a juggling act trying to spend time with my family, work my day job, cook, do the house work, go to the meetings, learn, and then try to build my network marketing business. It was a headache :-(

I realised that before I could build my network marketing business, I also needed to learn about the company, understand it's structure and how it worked, understand the concepts, learn how to sponsor new people and learn what to say to them. There was a lot of stuff I didn't understand at the time.

That's part of my story, you can find out the rest of my story when you get to know me better.
