THE BALL IS DEFINITELY ROLLING AFTER OUR FIRST MONTH WITH LIFEMAX

August 17, 2009

As we look back at the past month, we discover that the most meaningful changes sometimes come from unexpected, seemingly unremarkable, or even un-welcomed sources. What first could have initially appeared as a distraction, nuisance or perhaps an outright disaster, just over a month ago when we were first introduced to the Lifemax business opportunity, turned out to be the BEST thing that could have happened to us this year. It shook us out of our routine, allowed for new possibilities to enter, and presented the opportunity to rise above our previous sense of how things should be, what we are capable of doing, and who we are.

The results so far, speak for themselves; in just one month, we have signed up four gold memberships, four silver memberships and one platinum membership. As this is written, our immediate downline is busy building their business as well. For only five to ten hours of weekly efforts in this business, we have excitingly welcomed cheques amounting to an amount over 2600 US dollars! Not bad for doing something that both energized us and gave us the opportunity to either meet new people or establish new levels of relationships with people we already know.

This month’s events have truly been gifts of grace, full of encounters with extraordinary people. The important thing to recognize, is that we chose to embrace the potential awkwardness that network marketing can often create, and in doing so, we began to drop our egos that vehemently opposed any non-traditional means of business. This has led us on the right path toward growth.

In essence, what we have learned so far is that:

1.Network marketing is really just educational marketing - the idea of providing valuable information about a product and opportunity

2.This type of business should never be painful, but contrastingly, should offer the excitement of personal growth and financial growth with a sense of enjoyment

3.Anyone who enjoys learning from others, being creative, embracing new things, and helping other people, can likely experience great success in this model of business while reaching new heights of personal potential

We can clearly view our first month’s experiences in network marketing as very positive ones, that have driven us to rethink our established, fixed way of seeing things, and help the transformation from stagnation to movement; from limitation to expansion. This process leads to change and growth, which is the basis of all business and all aspects of life.

The enlightening book, Beach Money, states that gradual growth in network marketing is the most important factor. Just one new membership per month ensures great rewards. We’ve entered this business with a big bang - 9 sign ups! We definitely feel the momentum and even if we follow the rule of one sign up per month, we have a sense of contentment; anything above and beyond that is just a bonus!

In summary, our first month with Lifemax allowed us to experience insights that are elevating, useful and enjoyable. Clearly, we’ve outlined all of the rewards of personal growth we’re experiencing without even mentioning the important health benefits that we’re enjoying simply from eating Mila on a daily basis; this is yet, another inspiring topic we’ll save for an upcoming blog post. It has been a blast and we look forward to moving forward with this same positive energy as we enthusiastically facilitate and witness a similar transformation in all of our associates.

Until next time, think about this...
