You can learn what you need to know about the basics of network marketing in less than an hour: How to talk to people, how to develop your elevator speech, how to use your products, show the plan, those kinds of things but the real growth begins when you move into developing yourself. Whew!

Books that I would read, work at home magazines, different things like that kept pointing me back. I was pretty skeptical, not because I was educated about it, but just from things I had heard from other people.

So, I did get myself started, but I will never be recognized in the network marketing hall of fame for being a fast starter because my own analytical tendencies really slowed me down. I encourage anyone who has those to get over it and just move forward!

But it's difficult these days to make it on one income and I also had the desire to have something of my own.

I had discovered the Internet about six months prior to my decision to leave and found my niche and I really wanted to literally build my business from home. I didn't want to be required to run around to meetings.

I was looking for a company that had a website in place and some systems and capabilities already available.
