How Network Marketing & Max International Gave Me Hope
Ok, so I'm 32 years old, a single dad, taking care of my mom, and trying to figure out why I'm not cemented in a career.
I look around me & wonder why, with such a big, bright personality, a college degree & all the capability someone could ask for; why wasn't "it" happening for me?
Well this is a questioned I've pondered long & hard & many times over. I had come up with some theories that made sense, some experiences that had just lead me down mediocre avenue, & I started feeling bad for myself; a big NO-NO.
See I grew up in a very family oriented household; not the Brady Bunch by any means, but a lot a quality family time was spent. My parents struggled financially but always seemed to provide for my brother & I no matter how tough times were
However career role models they were not; & you can't fault them or choose what your parents do professionally when you're a kid, but looking back, it sure sets the tone for what you expect from yourself as an adult.
Odd Job to odd job my dad went until suffering a serious back injury in his early 40's that disabled him from ever working again. My mother also bounced around for a long time with average jobs & was the primary earner after my dad's injury.
They never made enough to save anything significant & we always lived paycheck to paycheck. You don't realize this as a kid but as certain as I am sitting here typing this, you realize it later.
In 2000 I was about to finish up college, my mother was at her longest job tenure yet & my dad had been Mr. Mom since I can remember. One day after I got out of class I turned my cell phone on to see 12 new voicemails; a bit of a surprise.
They were from multiple family members, each one more frantic then the last, but nobody saying anything substantial. You can imagine the pit forming in my stomach. I called everyone back several times and finally reached my older brother Ralph. He simply said "daddy had a heart attack come to the Yale ER" & hung up.
I drove as fast as I could to get there. When my brother and I made eye contact he fell to the ground; my dad had been dead for hours already. No words can explain the feelings that followed so I won't try to, but at 53 years young he was gone.
My mom & I were a now a team, with Ralph married with kids; her and I were going to have to figure stuff out. No pension, no savings & no life insurance were left for us, just an empty space in our lives.
Ok, so now I'll tell you how all this has lead me to where I am. (I'll be fast)
I Bartended my way through College & thereafter, no career targeted & no desire to work a 9 to 5. I was more than content making $1000 per week cash at 22 with no debt. It was very nice.
At 26 something went off in my head that said "you can't bartend forever", & I soon after stumbled into a job with a mortgage broker. 18 months later, I had earned over 100k & thought I had made it. "This was it for me".
Cue the Sub Prime Mortgage meltdown, I had saved enough to survive for a while but decided to jump head first into business for myself distributing beverages. One beverage really... Yea this is what most of us would call a bad idea; but I thought I could make it happen.
Well its 3 years later now & I still haven't recovered from the financial tornado that swept through my life while trying to build that business. I was so obsessed with working at my pace & for myself that I was blind to some key things that could have saved me. I failed, broke & unemployed.
I started contacting bill collectors & cancelling anything I could to cut corners. OH WOW, I didn't even mention that my beautiful son Jalen James was born right around the time I started that beverage disaster. Sorry buddy dad loves you
So I had that to work with also! I had purchased life insurance to protect him, because I learned firsthand the hard way of how important it is. This was now becoming just another bill that I was considering doing without. Yes, things got really bad.
My life insurance agent & I had coffee to discuss options; he too had lost his dad too young in a freak accident & wasn't about to let me drop coverage on myself for the sake of my son; truly a special guy who cares. 3 hours after coffee I was in a shirt & tie interviewing with his company.
40 days & a license later, I was a life insurance agent with a very prestigious company, I was so excited to start a new career, loved my company & thought again, "this is it!" Well, no one told me during my training that the economy was about o take a dump.
No one told me people were going to cut back & put the life insurance conversations on hold; 100% commission, drowning in debt & endless amounts of rejection. God why have you forsaken me?!!?!!
October 2009, still working insurance; a friend I had not met long before tells me about MaxGXL. "Here we go again". I took the product & was definitely shocked with how much I noticed it working. Energy & mental clarity were the first things to improve for me, then inflammation I suffered from was starting to disappear.
"Ring, Ring" Hello? Chris what the H.E. double hockey sticks did you give me?!?! He laughed, "I know right?!" There's a meeting in 2 days to learn more about it & the business opportunity that is built around it" Huh?? Network Marketing? God! A pyramid scheme, just what I wanted! (sarcasm). Only Chris is a really successful business man and is really excited about it so I went.
Fast forward to February 2010; I've never felt better physically, met dozens of great new friends, making steady income monthly with Max International & feeling great about my decision to get involved.
I didn't want to make this just about MaxGXL, you see no matter how much someone tells you or tries to convince you; you just have to do it on your own. Otherwise it feels like you're being sold & Lord knows no of us like to be sold!
This story was to connect with the real people out there with checkered lives & so many uncertainties still ahead. Our world is changing & so is business; so as a working person, we too have to change. Evolution is happening right under our feet every day, embrace it.
Let your guard down to fresh exciting ideas & opportunities. Don't be hasty, be optimistic, be hopeful, leverage relationships, & partner with those who you love or want to work with. Nothing truly amazing has ever been accomplished without the help of another.
If you are new to Network Marketing, I will coach you, if you aren't I will coach you. If you want to be a part of Max after you do your due diligence, I'd love to partner with motivated professionals with goals and aspirations!
Thank you for your time and may you have the best of luck with whatever path you choose.
