Proverbs 31 Entrepreneur

You're familiar with the woman of Proverbs 31, right? If not, take a moment to about her here. At any rate, she was a very astute business woman, as well as a loving wife and wise mother. This is the type of woman I want to be for my Lord and for my Handsome Hunk Erik.

After four years of teaching fifth graders, I was completely burned out. You see, this was my first attempt at teaching children. I had only taught adults before.

As a result of some Internet research, I decided to contact one of the big Internet marketing coaches and get some help setting up a website. That first endeavor—selling gluten-free cooking DVDs—didn’t pan out so well because it seems that people would rather buy yucky-tasting food than cook it themselves—although for the life of me I can’t imagine why.

Meanwhile, on my way to school each morning, I kept hearing on the radio an ad for a home-based business. Several times I went to the website, began to fill out the form requesting more information, and closed the site without sending the request for fear of getting spammed. Finally, I said to myself, “Why not? You’re looking for something else, right? Just give it a shot.”

So, I filled out the form and got a call back from a precious young woman in Colorado who has become a very close friend.

That call changed my life.

When she told me what it was, I was disappointed. “An Amway thing,” I thought to myself. “I can’t do that. I can’t sell stuff. And besides, I don’t want to harass my family and friends.”

But the more we talked and the more research I did, I changed my mind.

Yes, I became a Network Marketer.

Now, this was something brand new to me. Sure, I knew what Amway was, but I had no idea that Avon, Mary Kay, Tupperware, and Pampered Chef (owned by Warren Buffet, by the way) were also in this industry. It would involve learning a whole new set of skills. But I had learned many new skills before and figured that I could do it if I stuck with it and didn’t quit too soon.

There are two kinds of people in the world:

Those who choose to stick with the status quo and sail with the prevailing winds of friends, family, and society;

And those who are willing to take a different path in order to live an extraordinary life.

You might know someone who’s tried “one of those things” and not done well. Perhaps you yourself gave it a shot and tanked. You don’t have any friends left, and your family avoids you like the plague.

This business model is highly recommended by Robert Kiyosaki (of Rich Dad Poor Dad fame) and Donald Trump in their book Why We Want You to Be Rich. It is also recommended by Paul Zane Pilzer, a renowned economist and former advisor to presidents, in his book The Next Millionaires. Many other well-known business leaders promote this industry as a very sound business model. Warren Buffet, the world's richest man, owns Pampered Chef!

If you’re looking for way to make some extra money working part-time from home like I was, this is the way to go. 

• You are your own boss.
• There’s no inventory to invest in and start up costs are low.
• The income tax benefits are numerous. You could save thousands in taxes each year.
• You will learn some valuable life and leadership skills.
• Your friendship circle just might expand around the country and even the world.
• And the possibility for becoming financially independent is very real for those who work diligently and persistently.

What if by giving yourself a chance at this, you were able to: 

• save enough money to send your kids to college without taking out loans?
• stay home with your children?
• help your spouse to retire early?
• give more to church or charities than you ever imagined?
