Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

I was a former CPA and had worked in the public and private accounting sector for PriceWaterhouseCoopers and NBC, Inc. I was fortunate enough to be able to stay at home to raise my three kids for about nine years.

It was a tough decision to make because we went from a healthy two-income family to only one living in Bergen County, N.J. with increasing expenses. At the nine year mark, we found out that my husband was going to lose his job as an IT director for a major marketing and media research company that he had worked at for over 10 years. His company was outsourcing their entire IT department to India and had laid off over 4,000 employees. At that time, little did we know that he would be out of a job for almost four years. It was a real tough job market out there. His job was our only source of income. How many of us rely on only one source of income? Are you prepared when that one source runs out? Multiple streams of income is a smart financial move for everyone.

Fortunately, at the same time that we found out he would be out of a job, we were approached by a friend with the Market America business opportunity. When one door closes, another door opens. Originally as a favor to our friend with a possibility that we could generate a little income, we started our business. We had no experience owning our own business nor knew anything about network marketing/direct sales. In the beginning, lacking any training, I started to build the business without much success. It wasn’t until I attended one of the company’s big conventions at the persistence of my friend did I truly understand the potential of the business, what my business was and how to build my business correctly.

The convention was the turning point in my life. I knew that I found a vehicle where I can help so many people while achieving my dreams of living a life not dictated by a boss, the sound of an alarm clock, or the lack of enough time and money. I wanted both time and financial freedom. I want my husband and I to be able to spend time with our three kids going anywhere we want, when we want and doing what we want without any time or financial constraints.

Most of us have all been programmed by our parents and society to go to school, get good grades and then get a good job. Will our jobs pay our living expenses? Yes, but will it change our lifestyles? NO. Will our jobs continue to pay us if we needed to take a leave of absence to care for our loved ones who are sick? NO. Will our jobs continue to pay us when we can no longer work due to unforeseen circumstances or retire? NO. Will our jobs pay our kids when we are no longer around? NO. The answer is YES to all of the above with our Market America business.

Is it worth it to build this business? Absolutely. It makes more sense to work hard for a few years and enjoy ongoing income than it is to work till we are 67 years old in the hopes that we saved enough to last us.

If you have no time and/or money, it is all the more reason for you to build this business. Don’t let those reasons be your excuses not to build your Market America business. Dare to dream big. What are your dreams and what are you doing today to help you achieve them?
