I was in the financial services industry for many years, providing retirement planning advice and investment portfolios. While the financial services industry provided a lucrative income, it was lacking in some of the areas important to me, namely time freedom. I found myself working on the company's schedule, not my own. And, no matter how well I did or how many sales goals I achieved, each year the bar would keep rising or my territory would change, keeping things just out of reach.

The financial services industry also let me see that even though many families had a relatively high gross income, many of those people were flat broke. Between a mortgage, cars, insurance and other expenses, they didn't have any disposable income. It wasn't a financial services package they needed, it was more income. That's why the residual income that network marketing offers is so appealing - you can earn a little or a lot based on your goals, earning true independence. It's the exact opposite of financial services because you are sharing something valuable instead of trying to sell something.

With the Natural Cellular Defense product, joining Waiora was a no-brainer. It's a product that I want for myself, and the testimonials that we have been hearing about the product are powerful. It's important to have a strong belief in the product to share it with others. You have to have confidence if you are going to talk about the products and opportunity with your friends. I follow the three-foot rule - I tell everyone within three feet about Natural Cellular Defense.

After working with my initial warm market, I now also do some internet marketing and print advertising. It generates leads that I follow up with. I have learned that network marketing is not about selling- it's about sifting and sorting. It's not enough to have people just join - you want to have people join who want to get in the game. Always seek out people who are successful in what they do. It's true what they say, if you want something done, you don't give it to the person who has time to do it, you give it to the person who is too busy to do it. They are the ones who will get it done.

I'm upfront with people in terms of the expectations of achieving success and that they need to start sharing it with four or five people right away. I help them develop their contact list, they make the initial contact and then I'm available for follow up and three-way phone calls. I also provide training to help people get started, giving them a tour through their online back office and providing an overview of the tools and resources available.

I like that Waiora is a ground-floor opportunity, yet it's an established, stable company with industry experienced management. I have been impressed with every aspect of the company, from its' world-class customer service to its' compensation plan. It seems that people who don't normally make a check in network marketing are making a check with Waiora. I would encourage everyone interested in generating a large residual income to treat Waiora like a business. If you treat it as a business it will pay you as a business. If you treat it like a hobby, it will cost you like a hobby. With my Waiora business, I'm planning to accomplish a huge residual income so that my financial freedom is assured.
