I have never been a
quitter. From my very first job working part time at a nursery
school while I was still in school (high school and college), I stuck with it
for several years. I held my next job for six years, until I had my first
baby. Then, when my children were older, I resumed my career and held one job
for 14 years. I put my best effort into every job I had, because that was
what I was being paid to do.
When I first started
working a home business nearly a decade ago, I worked with a network marketing
company for a year. It was a “party plan” company, and I disliked it from
the beginning, but I still gave it my all. When I learned that the
company itself was failing, I decided to leave the company before that
happened. After a year with the company, I broke even. All I lost
was time, but I gained great knowledge from the experience.
You see, with that first
network marketing company, I did not research the company well before I
joined. Had I done so, I would have known I was joining a faltering
company.
After researching the
next company quite a bit, I joined and put my heart and soul into it. I
worked the business full time for over six years. I earned decent money
with that business, but I was not a super star. I doubt I would have ever
left though, because I liked the product I was promoting and it helped many
people. Over the years, that company became greedy. So, they
terminated hundreds of reps, including me. The termination letter told us
we were “terminated without cause.” I was not earning a six-figure income, but
whatever I was earning ended up going to the company.
This brings us to my
current business with Xpress Healthcare. Not only did I research the
company thoroughly – not finding a single negative comment on the internet, but
I also spoke with the founders twice before I joined. They actually
changed their Policies and Procedures, because they did NOT include a statement
saying reps could not be terminated without cause. There is
now!
I have had my Xpress
business nearly three years. I love the company, our products and the
founders. Like most people, I have had my ups and downs, but I NEVER
considered quitting! I am not yet earning a
six-figure income, but I am earning a living and growing my business
consistently.
“It does not matter how
slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” I have watched many new
reps come and go, quitting without ever putting in the effort required to
succeed. I have also seen way too many people join my team and quit when
they don’t begin earning money immediately. “Anything worth having is
worth working for.”
For anyone considering
starting any home business, remember, “Do. Or do not!! There is no try....”
