Sometimes overlooked by woman who needs more money is a business called “Network Marketing”. This is a home-based business that has, over years, matured into a respectable opportunity. An opportunity not recognized or appreciated by most of us. Let’s say that you are a woman who, for whatever reason, needs to make some money to keep your household afloat. There are many things that could cause such a need. A child needs braces, a divorce happens or you just need more money to stay even with all of those bills. What would you most likely think of first? Usually a job. If you are trained in some field and have had previous job experience in that field this is what you would consider first. Such experience would perhaps better position you to obtain a job and you would try to get a job in that field. But what if you have no previous job experience or if it has been so long ago that it doesn’t count for much now. If this is you, then to get a job you just about have to take what you can get. Or maybe you already have a job and are thinking about getting a second one to earn extra money. Regardless of these factors if you can get a job it means generally low pay, having to transport yourself to that job, having to clothe yourself accordingly, being away from home and possibly your children a good many hours a day. It means work that may be of low interest to you and to be subservient to a “boss”. It means that your gender, your age, your educational level (low or high) and your ethnic background could affect your success in that job. Going to work at a job means your chance to improve your salary as time goes by is slight. It means you have little job security. In today’s world companies letting workers go is something we read about in newspapers every day. Now, let’s look at Network Marketing:

Imagine that you are a beautiful sail boat on high sea of life, and gusting wind is way in which you talk to yourself. Will your wind be behind your sails encouraging you forward so that you swiftly glide through sea on course and are able to scope many possibilities? Or is your inner critic boldly blasting strong gusts of wind in your face forcing you to step back, alter your course, and expend your energy with barely a glimpse ahead?

Kudos to Christopher Columbus who was able to look beyond horizon. What could you accomplish if you were able to rid yourself of your inner critic and his/her comrade, self-limiting beliefs? If you were not limiting yourself, what would you be doing right now? How would your life be different? Hmmmm.... I know easier said than done. This week notice way you talk to yourself. Write down voice. Whose voice is it? More importantly, what is tone? Most critical, how can you change that voice if it is holding you back from what you want?
