It's so weird.
Just yesterday I was in my
thirties and starting out in business.
I had two little kids...
A husband...
A big fat mortgage...
And a whole bunch of angst.
I was trying to find my way.
I didn't want to go back to an office but I had no idea
what else I should be doing.
And then I found Network Marketing.
And I spend 6 years of pure wonderment as I
learned about
direct sales.
And I did OK.
Pretty good in fact.
But it didn't fill my soul.
Things were changing...
The wind was blowing and social media was being born.
And then I met a MENTOR...
My world tilted.
I became prolific.
Calls and blogs and videos...
I wanted to pour out all I was learning and I did.
From 2006 to 2012 I plugged away and really learned to make money.
By 2013 I was making more than I ever imagined and
life opened up.
But little did I know that it was also closing.
My kids were growing...and leaving.
I was on the road a lot.
As much as i didn't want to admit or believe it..
My husband and I were growing apart.
My efforts to repair that were futile and in late 2016
I found myself living alone for the first time in my life.
It was the hardest period of my existence and I did
not
know how I was going to make it through that cold dark
winter...
But I did.
And as it always does...
SPRING CAME.
The sun came out and I realized that I WOULD survive.
And that life would go on.
But I was not quite sure how to be a fifty year old single woman
who had been living on residual
income for a long time in a
space that was rapidly changing.
As you probably know...Technology has always been my Achilles heel.
I am a techno idiot extraordinaire.
And the technology stakes keep going up...
So keeping it simple like I always have has become more complicated
The space is full of lives, and bots and stories.
I had been feeling old, and dumpy and drained
by
the change in my life circumstances.
Being ALONE for the first time in my life took a lot of adjustment.
I didn't want to be on camera constantly and I really didn't have much to say.
But the time had turned and now it is a SPRING later.
2018.
And I am having a MIDLIFE MARKETING CRISIS!
But the one thing I know is that when you are not sure
the very best thing to do is TALK ABOUT IT!
So just like I did in 2007 I am heading back to YOUTUBE and downloading everything I know and talking about
this period where I need to take my marketing
wisdom
and TWIST it to enter into my THIRD decade in the industry.
Before you know it we will be in the 2020s which is SO hard to believe.
The one thing we can count on in life is CHANGE
and the opposite side of the coin with that
some things will NEVER
change
My life has changed.
My business has changed.
My role has changed.
My message NEVER will
I carry a message of greatness.
My greatness.
YOUR greatness.
A message of SERVICE.
Here's a tip:
Any time you get confused or off track ...
SERVE
Serve one person...a dozen...a hundred...a thousand.
A MILLION.
But serve.
Me...I am STRONG but off kilter.
And so the quickest way to
BALANCE is to SERVE.
So meet me over on my YOUTUBE channel
Let me serve you.
If you think it might serve others...
SHARE.
Hang with me as I maneuver my MIDLIFE MARKETING CRISIS.
I'll come through shining.
I know I will.
But there are for sure gonna be some
awkward moments and
apparently in 2018 the thing to do is to let you SEE them...
In living color...
Sometimes even LIVE!
Wish me luck!
I'm jumping.
Just like in 1999.
Just like in 2005.
Just like in 2011.
Seems to be a cycle!
Why fight it?
The universe is carrying me somewhere.
I don't know where yet.
And isn't that the coolest thing of
all?
Breathe...
TRUST
And
FLY!
Come be with me on YOUTUBE
With much love and appreciation to you...
My subscriber.
Whether you got here yesterday or years ago.
I'm glad you're here.
Humbly...
Your Servant
