| Have You Discovered Your Magic? By Lisa Marie Platske |
As a kid, I loved Sesame Street. One of my favorite characters was Mumford the Magician. With the simple phrase, "A-la Peanut Butter Sandwiches" and the wave of his magic wand, everything was right with the world. Well, not quite. Mumford is great at magic, but not at predicting how his tricks will work out. Like many direct sellers I've worked with as clients, he's got the magic, but isn't sure how to use it to get tangible results.
We all bring a bit of magic to our businesses. It's our personal touch, our secret sauce that makes others say, "Lead the way — I'm following!"
Why did you get into network marketing?
Was it for the MONEY that would let you purchase anything you wanted, for yourself or for your family?
Was it for the TIME it would free up to allow you to focus more on the people you love the most?
Or, was it for the PERSONAL FREEDOM of not having a boss to answer to, of finally being able to make decisions that made sense to you?
Chances are that one or more of these three was a HUGE motivating factor to finally jump in and say "YES!" to the amazing world of network marketing.
Unfortunately, as you're probably experiencing right now, these three reasons are essentially myths for the vast number of direct sellers or network marketers.

While it's true that a career in direct sales is a business that can indeed make you wealthy in the LONG TERM, in the short term, it does require you to invest money to get started and then to reinvest your profits to keep growing.
