My Story

How I Overcame the Struggles with Building a
Home Business, Money and Time Without
Sacrificing My Family
It took me 3 years to find it.
When I wanted to start a home business and I figured any company would do.
If you’re reading this page I assume you’re looking for a home business as well. Like me, you may have even joined or been in a Multi-Level Marketing or network marketing company.
If so, you’ll understand why it took me 3 years to find the right company. More on that in a minute, but first an introduction…
Hello, my name is Annkia Nilsson and I’m a home business entrepreneur in Uddevalla Sweden close to the Byfjorden bay. I can go for a swim in the ocean everyday if I, of course, most of the time, it’s too cold.
Like most people, I was looking for more money, free time, and the freedom to travel. It was three years ago I started a traditional home business.
Building a traditional MLM business is NOT as easy as most companies say it is. In order to truly make a full time income, you have to have a large network, strong sales skills and a large marketing budget.
At that time I had none of these. I spent most of my time sharing my business with people I met in public places and cold calling. I was my only lead generation source… if I wasn’t working I wasn’t generating leads.
This is not the most efficient way to build a network for your business. I’ll tell you the best way in a bit.
Like most people who don’t quit I refused to let a few set backs keep me from attaining the success I deserve, so I kept going.
When your family, friends and even people you don’t know dread talking to you because you always talk about your home business and try to recruit them, it’s time to find a better way to build your business.
It Was Time for Me to Graduate from MLM
I knew there just had to be a better way to build a business. That’s when I found the answer… in the form of a little book.
Imagine this. Instead of approaching people to join your business they come to you looking to join. Imagine replicating yourself and talking to hundreds… even thousands of people per day about your business.
How about building your business without cold calling, prospecting, or downline building? If you think this is impossible, you know that I once thought it was impossible.
Until…
I found a book called Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard. I was introduced to a concept called “Attraction Marketing” that changed the role I played in prospecting.
My traditional home businesses like most were missing a few things. In this age of the internet you’re missing out if you are not leveraging an online marketing system.
If you’re NOT using “Attraction Marketing” techniques to find qualified leads, you’re just working to hard. I know this because I struggled for 3 years NOT
using it.
It’s frustrating to put in time, money and effort and see so little or no return. That part of running my business is now over!
Not All Accidents are Bad…
I thought all home businesses where the same until… the right home business fell in front of me. A free report called the “Coffee House Letter” showed me how to use the internet, “Attraction Marketing” and the most effective business to use it in.
After reading the Coffee House Letter, I jumped in.
What’s the difference between my new business and my old traditional home business?
I no longer even care if my family and friends join my business, because I now have people looking for me to join.
Instead of hitting the streets looking for partners I use the internet to prospect and find success minded and self motivated people.
I also discovered the best way to find the right self motivated person is to have an application process. Anyone wishing to work with me is required to go through my application process.
I’m serious about my business and my personal development, I even took a phone sales job so I could increase my ability to sell, handle objections, and rejection.
My new business is a relief and a refreshing change.
Before I wrap this up I have to mention a bit about money.
Making money in my home business is a dream come true, but my past beliefs about money are not congruent with a rich financial future.
Money can be a scary subject for many people. After reading “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and other books by Robert Kiyosaki I gained a new understanding about money and the differences between the rich and poor.
Rich people invest their money… poor people consume their money. In the past I spent a dollar for every dollar I made.
The knowledge and financial education to put my money to work instead of just spending it is important to me. It’s important to have the money you make work hard for you.
Now I know better and still look for ways to increase my financial intelligence.
Unless you have the tools and knowledge to do so, you will soon be parted with your money. My current business has a strong belief in financial education along with personal development and health.
Just another reason I run the business I do.
Is This Business for Everyone?
I’d like to say it is, but in reality, its not. I’m not offering a short cut or promising over-night success. I only have the tools, leadership, and education to help YOU build YOUR business.
I know there are other moms out there looking for more money and free time with their kids. I know there are employees, who know deep down won’t be happy until they work for themselves.
If I had turned away from the business I now run, I would have turned away from the opportunity to spend more time with my daughter, travel, and have the pleasure to quit my job.
There was just too much at stake for me to not use this opportunity to create the life I deserve and take charge of my future finances.
The same opportunity is available for you…
If the business you’re in isn’t producing the results you need, if the job you have isn’t what you love to do, if your finances aren’t where you want them to be…
A drastic change may be what will turn that all around. The ability to create your life on your terms is here and it is now.
What you choose now will determine whether your future stays the same or improves.
All the best in what ever you choose,
Signature
