Network Marketing

I've been thinking a lot about my life and things I'm involved in, the things that people accept about me, and the things I have been supported in doing and the things I haven't. It's hard to do something you love when not very many people close to you support you. The thing I have in mind is my Juice Plus business. I love it and I'm not ashamed or embarrassed of it at all. I truly believe it is an amazing thing and can help/ change a lot of people's lives through their health. I've seen it happen. It's amazing how many people are turned off from hearing about it (or other products) because they hear of it from a distributor. I think network marketing is amazing. You pretty much have a personal shopper of a whole store. Someone you can go to if you ever need anything from them. I love being a part of NSA and everything they represent. Being a part of changing the health, and through that, the lives of people is such a blessing. In my mind the only thing I have against network marketing is the pushy distributors that just don't know when to drop it. I'm sure I've had my moments of extreme excitement and kind of threw up too much info on someone, but you know when you're so excited about something you just want to tell everyone and say everything on your heart to the first person that'll listen, and you just can't help it (without some practice). I have been extremely hurt by some people I really care about, but I've never lost my passion for what I get to share with people. In reality if you really think about network marketing it is the same as any other entrepreneur starting out their own business and telling every single person they know about their product and what they do. Eventually you go in to the store, check it out and maybe buy something, maybe not, but you go to show your support none-the-less. If you know someone in the network marketing business, don't completely shut them out (or that part of their life), be honest with them, have an open mind, if you start to feel pressured to buy something, tell them and be honest (but don't ever buy anything out of pressure). Just be honest out of love if you sincerely care about the person. I can't emphasize how much negativity there is on people who try to follow their dreams and try to meet goals in life. If someone you care about is venturing in network marketing or any new adventure, support them, encourage them, pray for them and just whatever you say make sure you say it with love. I will also do my best to do the same. 

Colossians 3:16-17 
Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father."
