I don't know this from experience, but I've watched enough "special" episodes of TV sitcoms, and poignant dramas to know that drug addicts have a hard time gaining the trust of their friends and family. Perhaps due to some drug induced thievery, or some harsh words that can't be taken back?
That said, I have never even used drugs...illegal drugs. Never stolen from my family or friends. I've stayed home taking care of my children and worked part time for years. I cook dinner most nights and clean up around the house. Oh and by the way, over the years I've tried my hand at many different lines of work.
I have been a line cook, golf accessories sales person, an assistant at Social Security, a mortgage representative, a Realtor, a comic store owner, an online retailer, a real estate investor, and I've been in three different MLM companies. During all that time, with a few minor exceptions, mine or my wife's parents, I have never asked to borrow money from anyone I know.
So why does it feel like when my life changes direction in a way that makes me feel energized and happy does everyone close to me treat me like I'm a wandering idiot trying desperately to sell magic beans? What is it about starting a business, especially a network marketing business that makes your friends and family think you've spun around the bend?
My only explanation is fear and love. I know my people love me, and they feel like I have been searching for something my whole life. They fear I'll never find it, so they want to stop me from looking. Well I'm sorry but that just won't do. Its not that I'm searching, as much as I'm on a journey taking in as much as life has to offer.
I can't promise I'll be in MLM for the next 20 years. The only thing I can promise is that I will work at it, and take the lessons I have learned over the years to move it forward. Honestly I can't say there is anything in this world so captivating that I want to dedicate myself to it indefinitely...Actually, that's a lie. There is one thing, or person I should say, my wife Kim. Because through all the ups and downs. Through all the changes in my life she has been the one true light and love of my life. She gave me three great kids and all I want is to bring her as much joy and support as she has brought me.
So where do I go from here? Being discouraged at other's criticism, and allowing other people's fears to cloud my judgement is a mistake that Scott Fain has already lived through and learned from. Now I only move forward and use my past as a guide, but NOT the map to my future. And so...
