Today my beautiful wife gave her two weeks notice at the financial planning company she works for.  She told all three of her boss’s that she was leaving and told them her reasons why.  She mentioned the dreams and goals that we have set for our family and our life and that we have a side business going on that’s bringing in residual income.  When asked what side business we had going on she said we build a Amway Global business.  Two of her boss’s kinda nodded their head and understood, and one of them was totally oblivious and said “Really??, Really?, I would have never guessed it, aren’t they always pushy and ramming stuff down your throats?”.  Just goes to show the old image our there or the image of people who build it with little to no integrity.  Lindsay just smiled and said I guess I’ve changed your impression.

One of guys Lindsay works with is actually still an IBO and said he used to be a Platinum with an Emerald in his downline (which is not profitable) and he started to coach her and say a whole bunch of stuff to justify why he was no longer active and such.  He was within the Network 21 LOA which I believe I heard has a F rating in the BBB.  Not 100% sure on that just what I heard.  [Post EDIT: I should have done better research when originally writing this article.  Network 21 does not have an F rating, they don't have a rating yet as they are still under the radar of the BBB. Rating Here] Why wasn’t he profitable?  Because he didn’t build the business with proper parameters to help secure and solidify his downline legs.  It happens and is a lot of the reasons why people are unsuccessful from some of the failed organizations I’ve heard of.  I don’t want to de-edify but this happens due to a lot of different reasons.  We build our business with those parameters which is why to some it doesn’t make sense how we have a self funded business or how we are making money at lower PV levels.  Build it right with a coach and mentor who have integrity and you can be profitable if you work hard at it.

I’m so excited for Lindsay and the next two weeks.  She will never have to get dolled up for another man ever again which is pretty awesome.  She can focus on what she wants to do in life and pick up some of the things she hasn’t been able to do because of the 8-5 day job.  One of the biggest things we are excited about is when we start trying for kids in the next few months she can do it healthy and stress free.  Not having to have a job that creates stress which isn’t good for the new baby.  Sure there will be those life stress’s which for us have been reduced to a minimum since we have little debt left.  That’s the big life stress right there we’ve been fortunate to get rid of.  Once you do that, everything changes.

So two more weeks and Lindsay will become a free woman, a woman with a choice!
