Wilma Woodson’s Summary
I found that I could no longer continue my Professional IT Career due to major health issues. I was officially declared disabled in 1998. I faced 2 challenges: deteriorating health & too little income.
I was attracted to Network Marketing, because I could work from home & on my own hrs. Because of my disabilities, I needed to work for short periods & rest often.
What attracted me to Network Marketing was that, I could truly help others. When I help others achieve their goals, I can also have mine. Wow! That was not the case in my technical career. Only one person got the promotion, while others were passed over.
My journey of working at home was rocky & successes were inconsistent. I learned valuable lessons along the way.
What I had been taught did not work for 92% of us. It only works for the 8%, who are Heavy-Hitters. I did not want to treat people like that anymore. To learn why so many of us fail, check out http://TinyURL.com/WhyManyFail .
I was taught to promote my products & services to family & friends. The Heavy-Hitters said that Network Marketing is a SALES business, but the truth is that it is really a RELATIONSHIP business, http://TinyURL.com/NotAboutSales .
To get the complete scoop of what does & what doesn’t work, check out http://TinyURL.com/WhatDoesntWork .
It is my sincere desire to help you have a smoother & faster journey to success than I had. You can start like I did, by downloading a free ebook. http://WilmasEbook.com .
