Do you follow your dreams?

Hey Mylotters... after after 14 months of working my Herbalife business, I am now working my business full time. I have stopped working full time at a job I was at for 6 years to follow my dream and continue to build my business. In just a little over a year, I am making enough money to be able to do this full time! I can't even describe to you how that made me feel. The freedom of being able to do my own thing is for sure priceless... Have you ever just jumped out on a limb and followed your dreams? How did it feel?

Congratulations on building your business up to this point. I did look at Herbalife myself a few years ago, but decided it wasn't the sort of business I'd be good at. Following a few months unemployment, I'm now trying to make it as a full-time eBay trader - I'm not making a living at it yet, but I think I'm heading in the right direction and at least I'm enjoying the work.

The best way to stand out from the crowd is to be yourself. There isn't anyone in the world like you! Only you can be you. So in a crowd of people, you will be seen. I don't sell on Ebay. When you do that you cut your profits to almost nothing because you have to compete with others on there selling their products for nothing. The best and only way to sell Herbalife life is to sell it to people you can have a relationship with and coach. But if you want to build a business with Herbalife like any other online business you want to build your downline. If you take this approach you never have to sell products. People join Herbalife to purchase their products at a discount and then get others to purchase at a discount as well. That's how i have built my business strong and deep!! I sell Herbalife yes, and make good money with that. Coaching people to lose weight and get healthy is my passion. but my real money is turning those clients into distrubtors. Once they try and love the products, rigestering them to get a discount is already done!

eBay can be a great business to be in. They only thing with that is its only you working. With Herbalife, you make money from the efforts of others if you train them correctly. I am so greatful to be working with a great team. I wish you all the best on your eBay business. I hope you do very well.

Thanks. Good luck to both of us (and anyone else following a dream). Different types of business suit different people. I'm a natural loner, so running a one-man business for the time being doesn't bother me, although once I've got past the survival level and I'm on a sound financial footing, I do have hopes of employing a couple of mates to help me out. That's likely to be a couple of years in the future, but it's something to aim for. Herbalife strikes me as a good business model if you've got a good network of friends who are interested in health and fitness. I did think a few months ago about selling Herbalife products on eBay, but there are already quite a few people doing that already. It might be an option for the future though, if I can find a way to stand out from the crowd.

Congratualtions. I am so happy for you. I have tried a fews back but I wasn't successful. I recieved a lot of unchewable criticisms so I got a what most people call "real job". But I never stopped researching and saving for that dream. Actually as I write here I am continuing my feasibility study to make this dream come true. I could feel how free and happy you are. You're great!

I found that people are always going have something negative to say. My family did not support me at first. But now that they see how well I am doing, they are all on board now. Never ever allow anyone's negative noise keep you from going for it! Best of luck and thank you

A pleasant day 34momma, It was last year when I have decided to follow the path for my dream. However, there were a lot of constraints and hindrances happening. As a result, I was somehow triggered to go back to the place where I was before. But as time goes by, I slowly realized that it is a part of the trial and I have to bravely faced it. So now, I am really making the most and learning what is the best thing to do. Being a Full-Time Internet Marketer is not an easy task, so I am doing my very best to learn the whole process and praying that God will guide me thoroughly. As this is a part of my dream, to have and handle an Online Business.

that is a part of my dream too. and I have been so blessed to have found a business (Herbalife) and books and people to help me along my path. they have lead me to success, now I am leading my people to find their own success with Herbalife. When you focus on helping others to get successful, yours comes without even trying

That's absorbing. Following one's dream needs too much couragement for many people, for which it perhaps mean change, even failure. I have had a job I never imagined before, neither favorate nor disgusting, wchich is just my work for life. Yes, I cannot do what I have dreamed. However, I never give up, because it is left in my life as my favorate hobby. Everyday after I finished my work, enjoying what I like is the happiest time. I am satisfied with my life now.

Following your dreams is your duty. We are born to discover what we love and then allow it to be what we do to be happy. That's how I see it. Doing what you love andalong money from it... Now that's living a good life

Hi momma! How I wish I could do the same thing. As of now I am a full time employee and really, it is very hard for me coping up with almost everything. The place, time, the people I am working with. I love to be in public service because I am serving the people but there are other people who are not seems to be happy that I am here. There are the people that I am working with. I hope I would be able to have my own business at the soonest possible time.

You should go for it. Network Marketing really is the best kind of business to be in. You learn how to be of service to others while being a true leader. If you like your job then walk in there everyday feeling good about what you do. They don't have to like you, you have to like you.

Following your dreams and doing what you want is the biggest achievement in life even if you don't succeed. To me, I would feel at least I did my best and would not have any regrets about it. For me, I would pursue my dream no matter how much it takes for me to get there. But sometimes, I lack the courage to take the first step. Right now, I'm plucking up the courage and make the choice of what I really want. :D Glad that you succeed in your dreams!

That was so many years ago. I took up a course that It was not my choice, it's other's choice. I failed for many times in that career and I was not happy of the outcome. But now, I'm given the chance to select my path, I'm really enjoying it now, I hope I can be successful in this endeavor. Thanks
