Subject: MLM - A Dream Come True

MLM - A Dream Come True
By Sheri Din

Since I was a young teen, I had somewhat made a mental decision that I didn't want to 'work for somebody else'. I freelanced for several years with many different companies in the market research industry, as that afforded me time flexibility and control - something I treasure most in my life. Unfortunately, there just wasn't any clear direction of where I was to go, as I went. I was just really going round in circles. There was no push for excellence.

After a while, it all became meaningless. I thought then, that maybe a real job would make me happy. I got myself employed, working a very responsible position and got myself a nice enough paycheck, settled into the routine, but after 3 years, I realized I could not take anymore, going out to work for someone else who controls my time, my income and ultimately my life. The urge to jump off that wagon became really huge as time went by. I really wanted to be my own boss. The right time to leave that situation came and I swiftly went into the property market and became a real esate agent. But guess what? Soon enough, the reality of running a business hit me. I had money but where did all my time go? I realized I was working myself mad.

MLM has been a dream come true to me - although it took several years of some regular drilling into my head about the concept of this wonderful business and it's unimaginable rewards - before I finally opened up my heart and mind to it. And I never looked back.

In MLM, I am my own boss. I work at my own time. I personally plan my schedule according to my heart's desires. I can put a swim, a theatre, a shopping trip or a movie into my plans at any time of any day - it is ENTIRELY up to me! I can be with my family whenever I want. I can take off days to entertain friends or relatives whenever I need to. I can take a holiday and jump on the next plane to Mauritius, today, if I wanted to. David Nelson tells me so patiently when I ask him what it is about this MLM business that keeps him going, he says "Sheri, it's the time flexibility this business offers you. You don't get that from any other type of work." Nothing could be truer. And who's richer than the master of his own time and destiny?

Yes, in MLM you are able to control your destiny. I control my results. Not another person I call 'the boss'. Not the company. Not my upline. Not even the market. And especially not the government. I determine what income I want to make and what life I want to live. And I work towards that. If my pace is swift, my results are swift! It's just like having my own plantation. I determine the crops I want to grow. I study and get as much information as I can about all the things I need to learn and do. Then I prepare my land. I enrich it with quality nourishment. And I start planting. I continue to learn as I go along. And I meet the challenges as they come.

There are days of heavy rains and floods that wash away some of my crops. There are hot, dry spells, when the earth gets hard and the crops get scorched. There are days of sheer havoc, of strong winds and great storms. But when the flood subsides and the storm passes, I just roll up my sleeves, go into my field, pick up the pieces and put my plantation back together piece by piece, part by part. I clear and throw out what I don't want. I re-plant what I love. I trim where I want to. I weed where I have to. I nourish where I need to. And I go find more good quality new seedlings to plant. I water it and nurture it as best I can. And I watch it grow. What is most exciting is that after some havoc, the land somehow becomes more fertile, and the surviving crops are usually ready for action!

All the time, all I have to remember is there is this law of the harvest which is there to 'protect' my interest. "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." I read somewhere of the 4 undeniable principles of this law. They are:

1) The Principle of Investment: You reap only IF you sow.
2) The Principle of Identity: You reap only WHAT you sow.
3) The Principle of Increase: You reap MORE than you sow.
4) The Principle of Interval: You reap AFTER you sow.

So, if you're kind to your land, and you plant good seeds, you be patient with the challenges and the waiting, you will be rewarded with a bountiful harvest. "Life is uncertain but give anyway. Life is uncertain, but God is always faithful."

The MLM business will continue to change a lot of lives.

When we sow a thought, we reap an act,
when we sow an act, we reap a habit,
when we sow a habit, we reap a character,
when we sow a character, we reap a destiny.

To Your Success!
