My First None Home Business....

After that experience with network marketing I put that part of my life on hold and finished my university education. During this time I became convinced that building a business and becoming an entrepreneur was the route I should follow to taking control of my financial future. I finished my bachelors degree and saw the light and realized I needed to start a business in the health and wellness industry. I set out to change an industry with little to no experience marketing my own weight loss system. I was able through hard work and terrible hours to create a business that provided income for my family. I enjoyed the process, but realize what it would take to really build this business into a six and seven figure income. I also built this business completely on my own with no help from anyone else. It was actually a pretty lonely experience. I was introduced to a company during this time to a company called ACN.

ACN was a new experience for me. I was recruited by a friend and given a presentation by the big wig that was just a few years older than me. When I say he was a big wig I mean he was making in excess of $50,000 a year. That is pretty amazing and he had created a team that functioned really effeciently. Every leader that got involved was trained the same way and functioned very closely to the way he functioned. ACN is a network marketing company, but functioned much more like francises than just a bunch of confused people running around. I was amazed by the hype and support I had as I worked with this team. I worked very hard and found a bunch of people that wanted to build a business. I brought just as many or more people than the other people that were just getting started.

So why didn't this work out for me? There were just to many hoops to jump through to make money. I brought in from what I could figure about $10,000 into the company and after two months didn't make any money. As I have thought back I believe I might have still been with this company if I had just made money. Now I really liked working with the people I worked with, but I started spending more and more time away from my family. The idea was to spend more time with my family. I also was losing income from my primary business. A home based business should be easy to market because there is a unique selling point and the people getting involved should be rewarded as well.
