I am a businessman. I have started and run several companies over the last 25 years. I may not have hit a home run yet but, I am still here. I have stayed alive and supported my family. It has not always been flush but we have made it work.
I have created products and got them to market. I have had employees and paid taxes and contributed to the economy. I still find myself trying to justify to people that what I do is serious.
It seems that people judge what I do on my results. Results in some people’s mind is more than is reasonable. So basically if I am not a millionaire or whatever I am not taken seriously. Well I am putting everyone on notice. I am successful! I have been working for myself without a job for over two years. I have the same struggles as anyone else with a job. I have trouble paying my bills sometimes but we manage. I do this without a job but, working for myself. Why is that so frowned upon? Because I work for myself I seem to be held to a different standard than others. I wonder why that is.
I am tired of apologizing for doing what I do. I work for myself. I am a smart person and have a list of accomplishments that is very well respected in business circles. I run 4 companies and have attained a level of success in all four that are notable.
Recently I started another business and I hate to admit that I have been a bit ashamed about it. Amy and I signed up for Advocare about 2 months ago. Advocare is a direct Marketing company with health and nutrition products. We started as customers just looking to lose some weight and get healthier. After participating in the 24 Day Challenge we decided that this was something we needed to share.
As a business professional I looked at the opportunity and I could not find anything negative about the company so we jumped in. In two months we have generated an additional income of about $500 per month.
I know people have some pretty strong preconceived notions about these kind of companies but. if they had my experience or an open mind they could see what I see. This is a real company with awesome products and a real opportunity. I cannot believe that someone like Drew Brees or Rich Froning would attach themselves to a company or opportunity that is a scam. Advocare just built a $30 million training facility for the New Orleans Saints, they have a NASCAR team and a Professional Soccer team. This is a company that pays $0.61 of every dollar back to their distributors.
Where the rubber meets the road is in my story. I lost 17 pounds in 24 days on their products and I have generated an extra $500 per month by just sharing my results and story. If that is wrong in other peoples mind, I have to say that I think they are the ones who are wrong.
We have been so conditioned that we are supposed to get a job and work our asses off for someone else that we have forgotten that the American dream and in fact capitalism is what has made this country great.
I for one will keep on keepin on in ALL of my endeavors including Advocare. I challenge you to really open you mind and look at the facts. If you have questions ask someone. Ask me. What if there was actually something more? What if there was a way for you to actually make all those dreams come true? Wouldn’t you actually like to know the truth?
