THE PROBLEM BEGINS

One day after work, about 2 am, I saw an infomercial where Robert Kiyosaki was giving a talk about the financial principles that he lives by and gave birth to in his famous book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

This commercial reminded me that I could never achieve wealth and happiness by working in a job that trades time for money, especially if I wasn’t passionate about it. That was the crucial point that made understand what to do next. I made a decision to start my own online business, and this is when my real struggle began.

I began to buy everything I thought could help me with my business, and spending a lot of money in e-courses, tools, e-books. I became an affiliate of some of these products that I bought and boom, I was flooded in all this information about how to sell all these affiliations that I was part of, everybody was telling me about the “Next Best Thing”. I was lost and missing the most important thing: A PLAN.

As you can imagine, nothing was working the way I expected. I started my online business with the idea to be free and do what I loved but, I was spending a lot more time and money than before I started the business. I actually started to think that it would have been better to forget about it and focus just on my job.

I realized there were 2 major reasons why I was going lost online spending time and money stupidly .

One, there is an overwhelming amount of information on the internet that you could swim in it. I was inexperienced and everything sounded amazing.

Number two, I got scared. I was so obsessive with the idea of being perfect and having results quickly that I started to buy and tried to apply everything I was learning in all these e-books, courses and webinars. In one word I became a Network Marketer shopaholic.

After all those evenings and weekends of being apart from my family, I was desperate to find a solution, I wanted the nice house, the nice body, the time to be with my family, the freedom of doing what I wanted, but all I was doing was buying the dream, the promises, the ideal.

GLORY AND RESURRECTION

It was time to go over my goals and values, and reconsider what I was doing. I looked at my life and my career, and saw what was good and I started to refocus.

After a few years of struggle , I finally came back to my true path. I CHANGED my mindset. I discontinued the inclination of surfing on the net and stop wasting my time in NO MONEY MAKING ACTIVITIES.

I sat back; I took one step at the time, and started to apply what I have been learning. I stopped focusing on quick fix stuff and started working on my presence online. I changed my mindset from “what is there for me” to “how can I give value to you”. I started from the beginning (the best place to start lol).

I decided to learn one strategy, apply it and share it, and even better, I decided not to think about how much time that was going to cost me or how many things I have to do in order to learn, apply and share that strategy. I stopped thinking about the to-do-list and started to focus on my outcome.

I wanted to be a true network marketer and to show others how they can do this as a fulfilling career. This is my goal. This is my dream. That will be my outcome.

Once I understood my goal and the reason why I wanted it, my need of buying all these resources and e-books on impulse vanished. These tools are very important, but only if you apply one strategy at a time.

I discovered how powerful the internet was and a way to accomplish my dream at the same time. Now, here I am, building my online business with the goal of helping you to live your life to its full potential of realizing genuine freedom online.
