Hi Kathy! :-)
Great post! I'm not going to lie.....I got into this business 12 years ago with the ideals of living a care-free lifestyle. To do whatever I wanted - WHEN I wanted to do it.
With that said, as time went on.....I became really attached to meeting and working with people on a personal level. It wasn't until that point that my new career started to take off!
But I think that some people see the pictures of the BMW's and mansions posted on all the business websites......and they get sucked into this "dream" of living like a rockstar in 2 years!
Well, it just doesn't happen that way. This is a business.......you need websites.....you need a phone.....a fax......all kinds of software.....and you need etc etc etc etc........
People think "OK, I got my website...I paid my $50......I'm buying a case of "jungle juice" every month......now when does the $$ roll in?"
But it takes caring and patient mentors like yourself Kathy, to teach people how to be successful by marketing themselves and establishing their identities online.
Keep doing what you do! We all appreciate you!
