Our first look at network marketing...

Almost 3 years ago, we have received a phone call from my bother.
He was excited about a new business opportunity that looks very promising.
We were asking what is it about and then he started to explain us about MLM. It was our first introduction to network marketing.
The facts looked very promising – new company, new line of products, technology breakthrough…
I (Eliav) understood the potential of this business, but I was not sure that this business model is for me.
Revital at that time was very happy with her day job and told me that she will support me, but she wouldn’t be involved the business.
After about a week or two, I have decided that the risk is low, and I should give it a try.
I have started to talk to friends and family, but got very cold replies.
Throughout this period, we were mainly consumers but not really involved and committed to the business.

About a year ago, Revital took some time off work.
During this time we did some thinking about what we would like to have in our life and career.
We understood that Network Marketing has all the criteria to meet our personal and financial goals.
We were scared of our findings and wanted for some reassurance that we are doing the right thing.
Our reassurance came once the current economic crisis started.

In our next chapter, we will share with you why we are sure that network marketing is the answer that we (and maybe you) were looking for.

from the begining...

Hi all,

We have established this blog in order to inspire and be inspired by others to escape the rate race.
In this blog we will share our goals, results, fears and successes.
We will post a blog every week or two to share with others and we would love to hear comments from you all.

A bit about ourselves…
We are not sure if you have read the book “Rich dad Poor dad” by Robert Kiyosaki (if you haven’t is it highly recommended one), but both of us were raised in families with a “poor dad” approach.
We were tough that we should go to university and have a job that we could grow with, we will have success in our lives.
Both of us, as good kids, finished high school with good grades, and continued to university in order to fulfill ourselves and have claim our success.
After finishing our BA degree, we have started working in the corporate world and started to climb in ranks and have more success with our new positions.
Only after reading “Rich dad Poor dad” we have realized something that we deep inside us for a very long time – by having a job we will not have the success that we are looking for.
For us that were raised upon the fact that secure job = success it was hard to accept that what we are doing (working in the corporate world ) will not get us to success.

Once we have realized that, we started to look for better options to generate an income rather than going to work every day.
We have been looking for a long time and even tried few things before we were introduced to what we believe is one of the most simple (not easy) idea in the world of making money while helping others.

In the next post we will share how we reacted once we were introduced to this revolutionary idea.

Have a great week,

Revital & Eliav.
