Why I chose Visalus over all The many other opportunities?

Back in July of last year I came to the realization that my latest network marketing venture was in dire straits. I watched my downline of over 200 people crumble overnight. Was it the product, the opportunity, etc. I watched my check vanish, leaders leave, and now I was left with a decision to I continue to build here or look elsewhere. I tried to rally the troops, but most were onto something else. I thought if I could just get 5 new builders, I would be fine. Than it hit me. What is the definition of insanity, "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results". I kept hearing this isn't the first time this has happened to me? As a matter of fact it was like the 3rd or 4th. What was I to do? I quit, but didn't announce it for almost 90 days.

I thought of everything I had done in this industry good, bad, and crazy. I thought of all the companies I could run with. I met with company owners, I met with master distributors, I had offers on the table - it all looked good. But I knew one thing had to be in place for me to launch my biz - MOMENTUM. None of the companies I looked at had Momentum. I knew the company could not be a start-up - 99% chance of failure. I knew the company had to have a product that people would buy without a business opportunity attached to it. I knew the company had to be Global or have plans of going global in the next few years. I knew the company had to have good leadership, training, history. I wanted a company where the average person had a fighting chance to build a legacy for their family.

Only 1 company out of 25 or so that I looked at had all the above and that was Visalus Sciences. I went to my first event in Atlanta and met a few of the owners, leaders, etc. I was blown away by all of the people that were joining this company. I saw Momentum, I saw leadership, I saw a 9 to 1 customer acquisition, I saw a 7 year old baby being born backed by a Billion Dollar Giant Blyth.

I'm here to tell you 90 days since I joined the company that I made a great decision and my wish for you is that if you're looking for a network marketing company that you consider Visalus, because they are the real deal and you will never have more fun building a business.

Are You Really Self Employed in Network Marketing?

I used to think when I first started in network marketing that I was definitely self employed. But truthfully, you are self employed no matter what you do. You are self employed always unless you have a contract stating that you can't leave your job like in the military, professional sports, etc... Without a legal binding agreement holding you to your job or company for a period of time - you are not obligated to stay there. You can walk away at any time, even if you have a contract. But keep in mind if you have a contract, you may pay stiff penalties or have consequences for your actions. But technically unless someone has put a gun to your head and is threatening to pull the trigger, you're always self employed regardless of who signs your paycheck.

Why network marketing could be a great option for many is that with network marketing you get to make your own hours, low start-up costs, and great tax benefits. Monthly overhead ranges from as low as $50 per month. Don't know of too many businesses that you can start in for as little as $50 per month. Also, allows you time freedom to pursue other things or spend more time with the people you love.

Unfortunately, if you're a W-2 employee you pay by far the most income tax of anyone in the US and get no tax breaks, so this is probably one of the worst ways to employ yourself. Most don't have the drive or ambition to succeed outside of the workplace, so for many this is the best option, but you are always vulnerable to lay-off's, downsizing, or other unforeseen events. This is why even if you're employed, you may want to consider in your spare time creating a Plan B. A Plan B would always be there to fall back on in the event you were to ever lose your job, plus Plan B forces you to have to be innovative and competitive, so these new entrepreneurial skills can help you perform at a much higher level at your JOB.

Can you Successfully Build More Than 1 Network Marketing Company....

The truth is that MLM also known as network marketing and MLM is a vehicle to create passive residual income. But a big debate has always been can you successfully build more than one? And if so, why would you want to.

Many experts say to only do 1 MLM and not many as you will become distracted and won't be successful. And I agree with that philosophy. You wouldn't buy a McDonald's Franchise than go and buy a Subway Franchise and try to build them together at the same time. But after you get the McDonald's Store in profit and have a good management team - your time at that one location becomes less valuable. Its the same in network marketing, but must be careful in promoting products or services that compete with each other as this could make it difficult for you to legally keep your current distributorship.

We all have been made aware of the subject of Multiple Streams of Income and I think many in The Network Marketing Industry confuse this with Multiple Network Marketing Companies. Yes you can build more than one company, but you better build 1 first, before you start to build another.

Why I am Quitting Visalus

Not really, but now that I've got your attention, let me tell you even with all the hype out there on the internet today only a small percentage of people make money in network marketing. The reason being is simple if you don't have a powerful marketing system and a way to generate leads after you go through your warm market, you might be screwed.

The Good news is it doesn't have to be this way, and Visalus has created a powerful marketing system for you to share with people you know. The problem with their marketing systems is it's DEAD too unless you have an audience to put your marketing message in front of. I personally know how to generate 20 to 25 leads per day effortlessly via Facebook, Twitter, and online classified ads. This doesn't cost me a penny and I can show anyone on my team how to do it.

So the choice is yours as how your going to do Visalus, but unfortunately joining with a so called Guru is the kiss of death as they won't have time to take your calls and train you properly on how to really make money in network marketing. And if they only know offline methods, I hope you're a very influential person and have a very ripe warm market.

Are you Struggling? STOP IT!

Watching my son snowboard for the first time yesterday and cruising down Intermediate runs effortlessly by the end of the day gave me a HUGE EPIPHANY. We all have talents that come naturally to us and if we pay close attention to the things we do well without much effort, than simply get better at those things, than we can capitalize off our natural abilities vs. trying to pursue or do things that we really have no talent for, which will usually only lead us to frustration and loss. My wish for you in 2012 is that you find your Talent & Purpose in A BIG WAY!
