MLM, you decide

Janine & Laura interview two moms who are over 50, and were brought into the business by their daughters.  Deb Reimer is a retired medical social worker who lives in Ontario, Canada.  She didn’t feel ready to retire completely, and wanted to create the extra income to be able to have more choices in retirement.

Sharon Seaton is an RN who uses her nursing skills to work virtually, so she and her husband are able to split their time between their homes in Colorado and Cost Rica. Sharon is 15 years younger than her retired husband is retired.  Sharon and her husband see Network Marketing as a way for Sharon to retire sooner, and it’s something they enjoy working on together.

While many Network Marketers don’t have the support they’d like to have from their family and friends, these two women saw what their daughters were building and decided that it might be just what they were looking for.

If know someone who’s in search of the freedom and flexibility to be present for their family, without sacrificing their current income, this episode just might be a good one to share.  Our guest today, had no idea that Network Marketing could be the solution that she was looking for, because of her misconceptions about the business.  16 years ago, when she discovered this business, she was a newly divorced, single mom of a 6 year old, looking for a solution.

Hope Baker exemplifies a scenario that every Network Marketer dreams of….being in the right place at the right time, and having the opportunity to provide a solution to someone who is ready, willing and able to get started in this business.

Hope’s previous careers included: flight attendant, Realtor and personal trainer.  While she enjoyed the work that she had done, she was looking for a way to be a stay at home mom who could be fully present for her son.  When Hope heard about Network Marketing, she realized that the things she enjoyed most in her previous careers could be found in Network Marketing, as well… and that this business would allow her to be the kind of mom she wanted to be.

Prior to the day Network Marketing was shared with her, Hope had no idea that this type of business met her criteria of providing the freedom, flexibility, and income potential that she was searching for….but when she discovered it, she dove in head first and never looked back.  Hope reached the highest level of her company in her second year in the business.

Laura and Janine interview Sharon Lechter,  an  internationally recognized financial literacy expert, keynote speaker and business mentor.  She is a New York Times Bestselling author, successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, and has enjoyed a 35 year career as a licensed CPA.

Sharon has advised two US Presidents on the topic of financial literacy. Sharon co-authored the international bestseller Rich Dad Poor Dad and 14 other books in the Rich Dad series.  The concept of the Four Quadrants of income is especially pertinent to those in Network Marketing because they teach the concept of “trading time for a paycheck” versus creating “asset income”, “on-going income”, or “residual income”.  As long as a person has to show up to earn a paycheck, they will never experience true freedom.  True freedom is defined as having both time and money.

In 2008, when the economy crashed, she was asked by the Napoleon Hill Foundation to help re-energize the teachings of Napoleon Hill.

Her best-selling books with the Foundation include Three Feet from Gold, Outwitting the Devil and Think and Grow Rich for Women and Success and Something Greater.  She is also featured in the movie Think and Grow Rich: The Legacy and on the national television series World’s Greatest Motivators.

Sharon is currently launching her newest title, Exit Rich to support entrepreneurs in building value and scalability in their businesses so they can be in the position of greatest potential.

She helps those interested in pursuing the path of business builder and entrepreneur, equips people with the tools necessary to make the shift and provides a variety of vetted business platforms to consider.

Lisa has been a professional recruiter for over 27 years. She’s always used a coaching approach to recruiting and after nearly 3 decades of market ups and downs, found that she was feeling less joy in her day to day life of match making. The politics of corporate life got more complex. The clients she was working with seemed to also be asking, "is this all I am meant to do?" She wanted to offer more than just a job.

Lisa decided decided to take her own advice and find HER passion for what she wanted to do next in life. She has taken the skills she mastered in corporate America and has shifted to helping others find their true passion and business pursuit. Her passion is financial education.

One a personal note, Lisa is an Alaska girl born and raised, married with three kids, is a life-long learner, loves to travel, and sings in a praise band.  One of her “whys” is that her children will never have an employee mindset, will be life-long learners and continue to find the next version of themselves.

"Only those who are in early ever make any money" You hear this from friends and family. Is it true? 

What to consider as you evaluate network marketing opportunities. The benefits and risks of "getting in early".

And what to consider about marketplace timing. 

Have you heard of Oola yet? If not, you will. 

Meet Dr Troy and Dr Dave, also known as the OOLA guys. 

They are on a mission to change the world with one word “Oola”. 

We talk about what is Oola? 

And the powerful framework for life balance around the 7 F’s. And how does network marketing fit into a balanced plan with finances and field (career). Since the first copy of the original book, Oola: Find balance in an Unbalanced World, rolled off the presses a few years ago, the Oola Lifestyle has become a literal phenomenon—a dynamic movement. OolaPalooza live events have been routinely sold out since the day they were started, and the Oola message has been taken to countless cities across America and to every major city in the world via our 1,000,000+ Oola fans on social media. In their 1970 VW Surf bus, authors Troy Amdahl and Dave Braun have taken their OolaDream tour on the road, from coast-to-coast, collecting dreams and goals for a balanced life from people who adorn their vehicle with colorful Oola stickers. Their surf bus is currently covered 24 layers in the hand-written dreams from people they have met along their amazing adventure. The OolaGuys are committed to changing the world with a word by collecting 1,000,000 dreams and feeding 1,000,000 children. This starts with a better you. They travel the world collecting dreams and helping people find balance and growth in the 7 key areas of life (the 7 F’s of Oola) – Fitness, Finance, Family, Field (career), Faith, Friends, and Fun. By revealing how to remove the stress related to a life out-of-balance, they unlock the greatness that is inside all of us. A better “you”, makes a better family, a better community, and ultimately a better world. The OolaGuys are committed to changing the world with their simple, yet life-changing message.
