No Excuse

As this blog is fairly new, I thought it necessary to give a little bit of background.  This blog will serve as the foundation for my business; that is my home based business empire that I will be building from the ground up.  I am in the beginning stages of building right now, which is why I want to be clear about who I am, and where I am going.  I want to get it all out there.  Here is the truth.  I am ashamed.  There is a big part of me that feels ashamed and embarrased to be doing this, network market, that is.  I come from a family of very intelligent people who value education, culture, art, etc.  I value those things too; more importantly I value my family.  What will they think of this business venture?  What will everybody I know think?  Will people laugh at me?  Will they think I am uncool?  Because there is a huge part of me that feels like it is uncool. 

Well, here’s the thing.  Those are all excuses.  Excuses not to try, and I know from other things in my past that if I don’t try, I can’t possibly succeed.  And then not trying becomes my excuse for not succeeding, and the truth is, I want to succeed.  I am determined to succeed, and I refuse to make any more excuses that might get in my way. 

My life has brought me to this point.  I followed the path I was shown, and here I am.  I have the opportunity to start my own business.  I am fortunate to have the time to spend on educating myself and planning for my new business.  I find opportunity in my situation.  My husband and I and our two sons moved to Mexico about nine months ago.  My husband is from Mexico, and we now live with his family.  I started looking for work before we left San Francisco, and continued for about six months after arrival.  I finally, after six months of looking, started getting some freelance work online, and I decided that working from home would be the answer for me.  The freelance work is sporadic, and while I had been searching for employment, I learned a lot about all of the business opportunities that are out there.  When the work was slow, I would study the various business models and opportunities, and made a list of those that interested me.  When I was finally ready to take the plunge, I enrolled in Renegade University and started my education in attraction marketing.  That is where I am today; just the beginning. 

I will not make any excuses.  How could this be uncool?  How could learning new skills and learning a new way of doing business be uncool?  What is uncool about working at home and creating the freedom we are all looking for?  I figure this is the only way I can create the lifestyle I have always dreamed of.  I love travel.  I love living in foreign countries.  I can live anywhere doing this!  To me, that is far from uncool; that is beautiful!
