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’s Monday morning and both of my daughters have their online classes at the same time.

My daughters are taking over my work desk and dining room table, so 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’re used to being with our kids 24/7, and at some point, I think our kids took 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, things 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 bucket 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 until the future.

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

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

But when it comes time to get going and build forward momentum… most get stuck in a rut.

They’re too busy getting ready to get ready!

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

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

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

I’ve been to YouTube and Facebook to watch “rabbit holes” about cooking shows, Taiwanese gossip shows, Korean dramas, funny TikTok videos, etc.

I’d rather do something else, instead of working on our business.

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

And at that moment we decided to make a BIG change in the way we do 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 it off until tomorrow.

And that’s when everything changed.

So my question to you is this…

Still waiting to get started?

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 I shift gears and hit the throttle?

It was more than 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 that our downlines wanted out of life are there for the taking, waiting for them to make the decision to do so.
