Making the decision to build an MLM business in Asia

This morning as I was setting up my computer to do my Zoom meeting, I was feeling a little weird because my work desk is my bed.

Why am I having a Zoom meeting in my bed?

The reason is because it is Monday morning and my two daughters have their classes online at the same time.

My daughters are occupying my work desk and dining room table, therefore I have to do my online meeting on my bed.

This is bad?

No, I don’t think so because both my husband and I work from home.

We run a successful network marketing business in Asia and have associates in Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei and Hong Kong.

We are used to being with our children 24/7 and at some point, I think our children took it for granted that their parents are with them all the time.

And I couldn’t help but think how few people get to experience such simple things in life.

I mean, sure a lot of people have their dream stuff on their vision boards and wish lists.

I’m sure they have things they wanted to experience and places to visit.

But really, how many people manage to cross off even a FRACTION of the items on their wish list?

Not many.

Most people never come close.

Instead, they procrastinate.

Thinking… one day I’ll take that vacation.

Someday I’ll drive that because I’ve always wanted to.

At some point, I will be able to buy the house of my dreams.

Unfortunately, that day never comes for most people because they always put things off for the future.

I have found this to be especially true in the network marketing industry.

Network Marketers are encouraged to spend time writing and visualizing their goals.

But when it’s time to get going and build forward momentum…most get stuck at a standstill.

They’re too busy getting ready to get ready!

Truth be told, I’m also no stranger to procrastination.

I have cleaned the kitchen instead of following up on a prospect.

I created to-do lists and then re-prioritized those to-do lists, instead of doing anything on those to-do lists.

I’ve gone on YouTube and Facebook Watching “rabbit holes” about cooking shows, Taiwanese gossip shows, Korean dramas, funny TikTok videos, etc.

I would rather do something else, rather than work in our business.

In fact, when we first started out in network marketing, we spent over a year making frustratingly little progress before we had our “moment.”

And at that point we decided to make a BIG change in the way we did business.

We decided that instead of looking for inspiration, we were going to relentlessly do all the things we knew we had to do, but we put them off until tomorrow.

And that’s when everything changed.

So my question to you is this…

Are you still waiting to start?

Are you putting your dreams on hold, getting ready to get ready?

And if your honest answer is “YES”…

Well, then how long are you going to wait?

How long before you shift gears and hit the throttle full throttle?

It took over a year before we made the decision.

And while I have no regrets, my #1 goal is to help my downlines get there faster.

Because all the good things our downlines wanted out of life are there for the taking, waiting for them to make the decision to take it.
