Don't be stupid like I was – I thought my job was going to take care of me and my family for the rest of my life.
Boy was I wrong! Here is my story...
It was a beautiful day in March of '02. I was at the hospital, no it was nothing bad, I was there for the birth of my wonderful little girl. Being a dad for the first time. WOW :)
Life seemed like it was just going so wonderfully. A healthy and beautiful little girl that just became a blessing in my life. I felt on top of the world. Nothing seemed impossible now that I was a father. I sat there thinking, I'm a dad, what a blessing God has giving me.
Then I got the dreaded call....The one we all don't want. The call that can send chills down your spine and leaves you asking, why are they calling me?
The message by my boss was left on my voice mail, it said to come to his office immediately. ??? :(
Now mind you I was trying to enjoy the time with my new born daughter. And not really expecting a call from the boss.
Then upon reaching his office he says, “Ronald, we have some bad news. We have to let you go....”
You're FIRED!
You talk about being floored. My heart sank to my feet!
Here I was enjoying a wonderful addition to my life, then all of a sudden to be kicked out of a job that I thought was secure. A job that I poured my heart and soul into. A job that I spent countless hours sweating over. Time away from my family working 12 hr days that I couldn't get back. A job with good money that I depended on for survival. Plus I just had a new kid??
I was just stunned! I got depressed quick. I just didn't know what I was going to do. How was I going to take care of my family now. I got to the point where I couldn't think straight. For the longest time it felt like a bad dream. That came true!
Then one day I asked to myself “What were you thinking?” Why are you setting here drowning yourself in self pity? I wanted to blame this blame that, blame the company, etc. You name it I wanted to blame it!
Then a great friend told me something one day that hit me like a ton of bricks. “Ron, No company will give you security like the security you can provide for yourself!”
WOW!
No company will give you security like the security you can provide for yourself!
He was right! There is no security in working for someone else because you don't own the company. They control you! You don't control the company!
I looked back on all the things I couldn't do because of all the jobs I had in the past and how they told me what and what not to do. And when and when not to do it. Like when I had to be at work, how many hours I had to spend at work, when I could take vacation, how much time they would allow me to spend with my family, etc.
It really opened my eyes as to why my jobs were the only obstacles to my happiness.
So I pulled myself up out of that state of depression and made a commitment to myself right then and there to never, ever, depend on a job.. that I don't own. To provide security for me and my family, no matter what it takes. To find a way to create income for my family that doesn't rely on me working for someone else to get it. And allows me to spend as much time as I wanted with my family.
So I set out on that goal and my friend introduced me to the Home Based Business Industry. And history was born! A new me was born out of all the trials that held me back from realizing my true potential. My outlook on life was changed, I was changed mentally (no more worries), physically (no more stress) and spiritually (no more pain).
I share this story to prove a point.
That no one is secure in today's job market. I did all the right things at my job. I was always on time. Even worked overtime (more time that was spent away from my family) I made sacrifices that most wouldn't make. Trying to keep the boss happy while I was unhappy.
I even had other job's since that job and I started working from home part-time. After being smacked in the face by reality, they wound up being the same too. No control! And that just made me that much more determined.
So my very last job I put in my resignation at the post office to go full time working from home, because that job itself was taking up 60+ hrs per week of my time that I didn't get to see my family. Proof no matter who you work for that you still have no control.
And boy was she surprised when I told her she was fired! I was determined to make it happen or die trying.
I share this story because I became a statistic. Like so many people today who are without jobs, are depressed and don't know where to turn. Who believe that the only way to happiness is with another job. I don't want you to become a statistic too.
Money wasn't the big motivator in my decision to work for myself. It was my time freedom. My choices I get to make instead of them being made for me. I get to do more with my family pick my kids up from school, attend their sports activities, participate more in my church's activities and so much more.
What's your motivator?
I encourage you to learn how you too can secure your future. Start a business of your own and take back control of your life. Be willing to learn what it takes to have the freedom to live your life to the fullest and not be a slave to your J.O.B any longer.
When you gain control of your financial future, you'll never have to worry about losing your job or providing for your family, in the manner that you want and they deserve, ever again!
I did it and You can too....

Are You currently using an Attraction Marketing MLM System?
The purpose of using an attraction marketing based MLM System is to brand you as a leader so that your leads are attracted to and want to work with you. Not branding the company that you are a distributor for, but YOU!
People join people not MLM companies. They see you and your value. They look at you and may never see the company owners, the company headquarters or if your product is best thing since sliced bread that was grown on a hill in China early in the morning!
The downside of using a network marketing companies lead source or buying leads from a third party lead selling service is that those leads are not quality or qualified. Example, lets say that you wanted to start a team of soccer players. Now you would not look for football, baseball or basketball players or any person straight off the street to start a soccer team. You would want people who are already qualified to do what you are building the team to do. Play Soccer.
So in your MLM business you want to attract other Network Marketer's to you and your system. People who are looking to start or grow a Network Marketing business. Share value and training with them. They will be attracted to you and the MLM system that you have in place and want to work with you.

So instead of selling and convincing unqualified leads through some lead source. You are working with quality leads with My Lead System Pro. Sharing value with your leads and training and showing value in a system that they see works.

So if you're not using My Lead System Pro, start today and maximize every training video and resource you can to grow "YOU, Inc."

ALL Leaders, is being Positive, Enthusiastic and Excited about
what you are doing. If you are enthusiastic then you will be, and it
will show to your leads. A great winning attitude is one of the
most important things you can have as a leader in MLM.

You will also want to set your MLM Opportunity goals and
affirmations. Now these are not to be set in stone. They should be
flexible as things all around you are ever changing. Write down
your training goals, what you want to learn. Write down your long
and short term goals. Know exactly what you want.
Learn the skills/training you need to be the leader in MLM.
Set the example for your team. Encourage them do the same.
If you will be the “Winning Example,” you will become the leader

....You must love Marketing! Period!
Getting Leads, Recruiting and Team Building is the life blood of
your Business. Oh yes, cashing checks is fun too. But Marketing
comes before the checks do!
Remember, the biggest team in MLM is the one who markets.
Generates the biggest production. Who generate the biggest
teams. Who generate the biggest checks, and generates the
happiest leaders in Network Marketing.
So focus on your marketing system and keep those checks rolling in.
teams. Who generate the biggest checks, and generates the
happiest leaders in Network Marketing.
So focus on your marketing system and keep those checks rolling in.
A business format that creates results. Every skill that you learn
as the leader should be taught to your team. Each step is defined.
Every step is duplicable. It gets results! Leads are chasing YOU!
With the top Internet Network Marketing leaders, every step is an
opportunity to capitalize monetarily on leads they get during the
lead generating process. Leaders know that not all leads will join
their MLM Business. So they use that opportunity to share with
their leads something of value that will help those leads. And at
the same time they get paid.

Learn these same attraction marketing techniques and you too
can get paid off the leads that never join your MLM business.
This Formula will help you cover your marketing costs and it puts
more money in your pockets while you are building your MLM
Business, all on auto pilot. The system does the sifting and sorting
for you. This will build duplication for you and your team.
Everyone on your team will know the Formula. Everyone on your
team will know the next step. Your team can see results much
faster than the old Network Marketing model of building a list
and chasing friends and family.

Leaders know that Network Marketing is a serious business and
they treat it as such. Never take short cuts. You have to learn
the Formula just as the leaders before you. Learning from other
Network Marketing Leaders will shorting your learning curve, yes
but you still have to do the work.

And finally Network Marketing Leaders never worry about the
competition because they have an abundance mentality. You, as
the leader of YOUR Home Business, you should have that same
abundance mind set.
There are more leads out there than you can handle!
Do you know how to get them?
