I began thinking about starting a home based business in May of 2004.  I had a brand new baby granddaughter and I wanted the freedom to spend time with her whenever I wanted.  I also wanted the freedom to work from where ever I chose to.

So the first business I looked into and began working at was, Herbalife.  I spent 3 years of working my tail feathers off, (working every holiday, weekend, and evening of those 3 years), and having nothing to show for it except, umm, no life.  I decided that this was not why I started a home based business.  I had wanted more time with my family and all I was doing was working constantly with more time away from my family.

Now I’m not usually a quitter, but after 3 years, I was having trouble sleeping.  Mainly because I was worrying about the money my upline wanted me to spend each and every month on leads.  I worried that I wasn’t going to hit my quota for each  month and I would lose my downline and I started to have self confidence issues when my upline told me that “I wasn’t bringing in the right kind of people, that was why I wasn’t keeping customers or downline people, and that the people I brought in were a direct reflection of me.  I really began to feel the stress and my health started to suffer.  So after much thought, I finally quit Herbalife.

After I quit, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.
