When many, if not most, people begin their careers in Network Marketing, they start out part-time. They still have a full time job so they must put in extra "work time" on the computer after they clock out of their traditional J.O.B. It is rather like having a second job.
Some people are able to schedule their Network Marketing business around their "job" and their family with great success. Others unfortunately put their family "on HOLD." They get home from work and immediately start "work" on the computer, often immersing themselves in their business that they neglect their family.
In the beginning it might seem necessary to do it that way. But, I would encourage you to treat your Network Marketing business as a business. Schedule time to work at it. When the time you have scheduled for your Network Marketing is up, log off and just "BE" a member of your family. Schedule time for your Family and Friends. My husband and I like to have "date night" so we can look forward to our night out.
It is a good idea to have your family's "blessing" on your new endeavor. If they understand that you will be unavailable during a set time because you are working on your internet business, BUT you will be available when that set time is up, they will be more than happy to work with you.
Below is a story that may bring the point into more clarity.....one never knows what the future holds....so cherish your family as you build your business. Find one that you can easily get into profit with rather than work endlessly....
BEING A MOTHER
After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie.
She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.'
The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my Mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally.
That night I called to invite her to go for dinner and a movie. "What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news.
"I thought it would be pleasant to spend some time with you," I responded. "Just the two of us." She thought about for a moment, and then said, "I would like that very much."
That Friday after work as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous.When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date.
She waited at the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as radiant as an angel's.
"I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed," she said as she got into the car. "They can't wait to hear about our meeting."
We went to a restaurant that, although not elegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady.
After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. Halfway through the entrees, I lifted my eyes and saw Mother sitting there staring at me. A nostalgic smile was on her lips.
"It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small," she said. "Then it's time that yo relax and let me return the favor," I responded....
During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation nothing extraordinary but catching up on recent events of each other's life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.
"How was your dinner date?" my wife asked when I got home. "Very nice, much more so than I could have imagined," I answered.
A few days later, my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn't have a chance to do anything for her.
Sometime later I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place Mother and I had dined. A note attached said: "I paid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but, nevertheless, I paid for two plates --one for you and the other one for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son. Love, Mother"
At that moment I understood the importance of saying in time: "I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off until some 'other'time...
Take time for your family TODAY! Remember to tell them You LOVE them. Spend time with them. Treat your Business like a business....schedule time to work it and then be done.
