The Power of Belief
Truth is, belief is a necessity for advancement in life. It empowers an individual to not only recognize opportunity, but take possession of it.
According to Blaise Pascal, “In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don’t.” For many, there is a both a hunger and longing to believe... believe in oneself, believe in others, believe in God.
Truth is, belief is a necessity for advancement in life. It empowers an individual to not only recognize opportunity, but take possession of it.
Enemies of success go by many names... procrastination, complacency, and even doubt. Belief enables a person to quiet such enemies and take a step... a single step that proves to be both life-changing and liberating. Someone once said, “Instead of giving myself reasons why I can’t, I give myself reasons why I can.” Undoubtedly, he knew the power of belief.
It is belief that has caused a former victim of human trafficking to become an advocate for victims of this aged atrocity. “I see these teenage girls full of vision and purpose with no education and wonder how they will ever live the American Dream” said Marlene Carson, former victim and Founder of Rahab’s Hideaway. I and the girls at Rahab’s Hideaway have partnered in our own business, Live the Source, the only patent nano- technology multi-vitamin and mineral supplement that will not only allow us to make money but it has given us dignity, something we can take pride in while sharing health and wealth with others.
“I will teach these young ladies the principles that professional network marketers utilize to become successful. Those principles include great listening skills, duplication of a system that is effective, goal setting,

prospecting, recruiting, business launch strategies as well as leadership traits”, Dr. Roger Boger, Live the Source, Master Distributor”.
Rahab’s Hideaway, a rescue and shelter for those who have fallen prey to human trafficking, not only gives women a place to eat and sleep, but also provides a means to financial freedom through a unique twist on network marketing.
No other medium offers the opportunity to make a substantial income without prejudice. Network marketing levels the playing field for at risk youth, the homeless, or the educated unemployed; for everyone, no experience required.
Most people get involved with a network marketing company for the fast money and a fine car. However, Rahab’s Hideaway has chosen this vehicle to change a population of victims to better their lives.
Network Marketing is a system that moves services and products between manufacturer and the end user consumer through "Word of Mouth", which is a very powerful and known system of advertisement. What action do you take when you have had a nice dinner, seen a really good movie or gone on your dream vacation? You share it with your family and friends. Now, just imagine what would happen if once you returned from your favorite hotel in Hawaii the hotel sent you a check; and when your friend goes to Hawaii, then the hotel sends you another check, and every time someone goes that you referred you receive yet another check. If that were the case, you would obviously tell more and more individuals about the great hotel in Hawaii. And don’t you think your friends who are also telling their friends would like to make a couple extra dollars too? I’m sure they do, and this is exactly what we do in this network marketing business.
Why have John and Mary Beth Tedeschi, Master Distributors for Live the Source taken the time to recruit and develop these girls? Because they believe in them, they believe in the American way and most of all they

believe they are seeing the motto of Live the Source become reality within a vulnerable population “People Helping People”. Says Mary Beth Tedeschi, “Live the Source provides hope, inspiration, and fulfillment to the girls and those that believe in them. We truly are blessed to be able to help others succeed in life through Live the Source”.
Live the Source is a network marketing company that exercises a belief in common goals and serves as a source that brings freedom to former slaves of human trafficking.
Contrary to what many may assume, it is not difficult to bring about change. Together, we can do it if we only believe.
