There IS something out there for you!


Well, now what?? They say the economy is going to be in the tank for the rest of the year. Millions of people are out of work, perhaps you are or at least fearful your job is insecure.

I talk to so many people who tell me that they hated their job, but at least it was something that paid the bills. If that is you, I know it was me 4 years ago, you may be having the niggling feeling in the back of your mind that this is the time to find something you will be fulfilled by.

When Spirit drop kicked me out of Corporate America, I was not entirely upset. For the previous year I found myself more and more unhappy about being with this company. They wanted more and more from me, from all of us. More than I felt I could give as a single mother who needed balance in my life.

Now, many more are feeling it. But what is it that will afford you as an individual the fulfillment you seek, working at something that brings you joy and is lucrative?

I believe the answer lies in small business. We are seeing the giants in corporate topple under their own weight and frantically trying to reinvent themselves. Some will make it, some won't. For individuals, though, the way to our "new times" is through small business. In small business, we can gain financial AND time freedom. Both are important. without, there is no need for the other in my opinion.

Now, I coach and train others how to navigate successfully through the process of finding their niche. Call me for a free consultation, to see if what I have to offer is right for you!

A Business Whose Time Has Come....

Since I found Liberty League, I have never been happier with my choice! Once I left Corporate America, I knew that going back was not an option. But, I had 2 kids to support. Yes, I did look for a job, mostly contract positions, but nothing really came to fruition.

What I did do was start teaching people about project management, and it turned out, that I loved it! At the same time, my spiritual growth took a much deeper turn, so that I wanted to somehow make my living by doing something "spiritual" even though I didn't know what that was. I had no training in any area that I considered.

Through Liberty League, I have found my answer. I am growing by leaps and bounds in several directions at once.

First, of course, I have unlimited income potential with this business, as is true with any network marketing business. However, since this is a TOP TIER business, that potential comes much more quickly and in greater quantities!

Second, just masterminding with fellow entrepreneurs who are self made millionaires through this program is a benefit that I did not see at first. To change my thinking, to be successful, it is of extreme importance to surround yourself with those who are what you want to be as well.

Third, I get to introduce to others who are search for that "something out there", a business for the new age. We are attracting people left and right, who are disillusioned with Corporate America and the hamster wheel. Our revenues are UP 60% or more over this time last year.

If you are searching, still employed or not, take a look at this business model and you will see that your income is unlimited and you will be working in a business of which you can be proud. Not chasing family and friends, but using many marketing means which we will teach you to bring good quality people into your business to the highest good of all.

When I attended the Liberty Conference in Acapulco in March, 2009, I was amazed at how many people said they viewed this business as spiritual and something they had been wishing for to turn up in there lives.

Finding our way through fear about money

Fear has been humankind's nemesis since the beginning of time. As children, our parents used fear to instill in us a sense of caution to keep us safe. As a parent, I used fear to do the same with my children. Some of the fears we endow our children with are irrational, stemming from experiences we have had in our lives.

With the collapse of the banking system, the housing industry and many others too numerous to mention, a new fear as arisen. I am of a generation that has not had to worry about the next meal or a roof over my head and neither have my children. They know nothing of unsatisfied want or need of essential items.

The changes that we as a planet are experiencing have been foretold for some time. But true to our nature, we did not want to worry about it until we had to. Who knew, it might all be a lie and nothing would happen! The fact is, it has and it will continue.

So where are all these changes leading us? To a new world economy for one. An economy with integrity for all. Perhaps a spiritual economy? As our collective consciousness if raised, we will learn to live more simply as we have already begun to do. More in tune with our Earth mother.

The bottom line is, to NOT succumb to fear over money. Staying out of fear and into love is the answer. It is the answer to helping find new work, a new mission or a different job you do not hate. The time is now for us to seek out our personal joy in the work we do. Money will follow.

I happen to think that personal growth products in the network marketing industry is my calling, at least for now. The only way to be successful in this business and generate abundance is to be authentic and true to myself.

Which is the whole point of this earthly journey we are on...

Hey, you corporate types: this is the most challenging and rewarding position you could ever have!

It has been my experience that the mention of network marketing gets mixed reviews from the people I speak with about my business. I like to attend job networking session to offer people seeking a job an alternative. The reactions fall generally into 4 categories.

If I am talking with a long-steeped "Corporate" person, it seems that the words network marketing evoke a kind of derision, in that no one could possibly be serious about entering the profession unless they just couldn't get anything else and were in general, corporate losers. When I tell them about what I have offer, they look at me with some pity, assuming that it is I who is lost!

A second response is one evoked from those who may have tried a network marketing business, typically the MLM model, and found that it "didn't work". Therefore, their viewpoint is one of disappointment and a "not going down that road again" type response.

When I find someone who has been in multiple MLM organizations and they pronounce that they just didn't "work", I chat with that person a little more, trying to discover if the result was due to their not applying themselves or lack of support from their company or upline. It is possible that the individual, with the right coaching, could be very successful.

Third, view network marketing as a type of pyramid scheme, something to be avoided at all costs, even though they truly don't understand what it is and is not.

In the last category, there are those who are open to the idea, because where they are is not giving them what they need or desire. This generally comes down to time and/or emotional freedom, regardless of the details in the person's life. These people are my best prospects.

For those in the first three categories, I usually chat with them a little more to detect if there is any crack in their armor to enlighten them. If I find one, I continue; if not, I give my card and tell me them to contact me if their viewpoint changes.

What most people do not understand is that network marketing, particularly direct sales, is a profession in and of itself. It takes just as much work as any other profession to be successful. Since I am focusing on the views of the corporate people here, let me say this. Most in Corporate America work very hard long hours to earn their income and their employers do not mind at all dumping more work on them without an increase in pay, using the person's desire to get ahead, as a motivation factor. That is, "You will do this because I (the employer) know you want to do whatever it takes to earn more recognition and money".

Those who are very successful in network marketing learn that their success can be wildly above what they could ever earn in corporate, while doing it on their own terms. Network Marketing offers more training than any other profession, bar none! The income you can generate is unlimited! No corporation can offer that. So why would a reasonably intelligent person not consider network marketing as an option, especially now in these times of extraordinary fear about money.

The bottom line is that those of you in Corporate America, or recently released from a job in that world, should look into network marketing as your second career. Being successful in the network marketing direct sales arena, will require much more of you than corporate ever did, but the rewards are huge. You will be required to become your authentic self: not play a role and do "other duties as assigned" in your job description. You will figure out that you must be who YOU are, to attract the people to you that will benefit from joining you in your business, and then you will be the teacher as well as the student.

There is no management job in Corporate America that is more challenging, however more rewarding and will afford you the most personal growth you could hope for!

MultiLevel Marketing Explained

The world of MultiLevel Marketing, or MLM as it is commonly known, has been in existence since 1959 when Amway invented this business model. Many people jumped on the bandwagon because of not only the newness and the novelty of the program but also the compensation plan that was offered. Over the years, there have been many success stories with this company and many others who have come along in the past 40 years since.

The basic principle of the MLM is to market a relatively inexpensive product, typically in the supplement and/or cosmetic area. People who sign up with an MLM company can expect three things: a reasonably good product that in some way is unique in the industry, at least to the MLM company marketing the product; the second thing they can expect is to be required to participate in some type of autoship program of the products each month, in order to remain commissionable, given that the rep actually sells any product to receive commission; the third thing someone can expect is to be advised to seek out family and friends to whom they can present the business and hopefully enlist them.

While the products are the main reason for the business on the surface , the money is actually made in recruiting others who are hopeful to change their lives. Certainly, new recruits are given training on the products, their usability and other key topics in order to be successful in achieving their dreams of self employment.

The main objective to be successful is to recruit people into your downline, which typically has 2 legs. You cannot build 1 leg to the exclusion of the other. Both must be growing constantly to make the kind of income people say they want to generate. As new recruits come on board, they require considerable support to get trained themselves to do the same thing as their upline did for them.

The idea is that as your downline grows and more people are added not only by you, but by the people you bring in, a part of the money pie is passed up to all those whom you have recruited. This generally does not go on ad infinitum, but only down to a level, i.e., 5 deep.

There are many people who have been very successful in this business model and are to be commended. It takes a person of a certain metal to be an entrepreneur in the first place, but sticking to the MLM model and being successful takes a person of amazing vision and determination.
