There’s a quote that says – “Work in silence, let success make all the noise.” Click To Tweet
When I received the e-mail from Melanie stating that I was the member of the month for March, I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even think anyone was watching or paying attention.
So first, I’d like to say thank you to the entire My Lead System Pro team, leaders and community. MLSP has truly been a blessing and major part of my online business success and life. I especially want to give a huge shout-out (that’s the Brooklyn, NY, not Brooklyn, Ohio in me) to my mentors Justice Eagan and Adam Chandler. Without you both, the honor of being selected MLSP member of the month would not be possible.
I didn’t always know that I wanted to pursue networking marketing.
I began my career with a passion for music performance and arts education. I followed the “traditional path”: earning a Bachelors and two Masters degrees from New York University and Columbia University, and secured a full-time job, with benefits as a fundraising professional. Over 10 years, I had raised over $100 million for institutions of higher education and nonprofit arts organization, but “the blueprint for success” wasn’t making cents.
While I was raising significant philanthropic dollars year after year, my annual salary barely kept pace with inflation and the cost of living in New York City. I was headed down a path of working two jobs long after hitting retirement age.
That just didn’t seem like fun to me.
In 2013, I re-discovered network marketing as a viable path to realize my financial, personal and professional dreams.
My first year in the industry was rough. I meticulously followed the advice of my upline sponsor: made my list of 100 friends and family, talked to everyone I knew, and even paid for several family member’s memberships, just so I wouldn’t feel like a loser (bad idea).
It wasn’t until I discovered one of Justice and Adam’s Challenges that everything began to change for me. For the first time, I had very clear instructions on how this online marketing thing worked and what I needed to do to get results online.
Completing the challenge helped me to understand the principles of online marketing and was empowering. I witnessed successful leaders who weren’t weird, salesy or spammy grow a profitable business online. That’s when I discovered My Lead System Pro.
MLSP has not only taught me how to brand myself online, generate leads effortlessly, it has taught me how to become a leader and authority in the space.
While receiving lead and commission notifications is great, there’s no greater sense of fulfillment than receiving a message from someone saying, “thank you, your video or blog post really helped me,” or “I love receiving your e-mails, you always give so much value.” That is the ultimate reward for me.
It is my personal mission to support, motivate and inspire others who want to take control of their life, follow their dreams, and truly live the life they were destined to live.
A special THANK YOU goes out to my Inner Circle group, without you this would not be possible.
Thank you once again, Brian, Norbert, Todd, Justice and Adam, and the entire MLSP staff, leaders and community. I remain exceedingly grateful and will pay it forward by helping others achieve their goals.
MLSP Rocks!!!
See you all in Austin!
