Leisure Engagement Passion

I haven’t had a chance to write lately.  I’ve been wanting to and meaning to but I’ve been busy with my husband moving out of our home and into our Dream.  Our 40′ Alpine Coach Motorhome.

Dreams Do Come True

Thirteen years ago when we first moved from Hawaii to California, our dream was to buy an RV and live in it and enjoy the entire US.  Well, we recently did it!  We downsized from our 2300 sq ft home into our 400+ sq ft Motorhome.  Why it took us 13 years?  As the saying goes, “Life gets in the way”. (personally, I think it’s having a J.O.B.)

Last spring we made it our goal to find the best RV to our liking.  We knew back in 1996 which coach would have been the “one”, but that RV was now too old.  What we did realize by waiting (justification) was that technology in the travel trailer industry was now up to speed.

We’ve had a business from home since 1990 (we learned you get lots of tax advantages early on) and we were both interested in making sure we could still work from the motorhome.  Our (my) biggest concern was internet access.  We found out that most RV parks had free WiFi, (that took care of my addiction) and since we both have cell phones, no landline was needed.   Along with the WiFi and phone connections, we are pleased to know that cable is available at most parks for our TV needs and if not we have our satellite dish.  So it’s business as usual, just now it’s on wheels.

Although, we’ve only been in the coach full-time now for a month, I could not be happier with our decision.  I know it’s taken me away from focusing on my business, but it’s been worth it.   I have to remind myself that I’m not on a vacation everyday, even though that’s how it feels, and I’m now settling into a routine for our United First business to become our number one goal.

Following our desire to control our destiny led us to find United First Financial and without the Money Merge Account and UDeduct we probably would still be dreaming of  living in our RV.  Making the right financial decisions with the help of our personal financial “GPS” now let’s us live our dream in full color.

This morning before I jumped on the airplane, I was surfing the web and becuase I’m an addict and I found this new application by Citrix. 

GoView ~ You can send (email) a quick presentation to a friend who needs help with an application, or build content that’s intended for a larger audience. 

Currently I use GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar by Citrix to explain my business with United First Financial to clients and asssociates, and I can see how this will help me in keeping in front of them even more efficiently and effectively.  Sometimes sending a text email  just doesn’t cut it and a short screenshot or video to explain something I know will come in very handy.  Right now with U1st our Bizpack Business in a box has GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar, but I hope that in the near future GoView will be added.  In the meantime, I’ll see how I can demo the product on my own.

I’ve been reading Success Magazine for the last 4 or 5 months and it’s had me thinking about how long I’ve enjoyed direct selling over the last 20 years.  It’s been great first of all and I would suggest that when you find a product or service you like, that you research the company and see how you could become your own boss.

For most people who have had a desire to get out of the rat race and be their own boss, direct selling has been the lifeline they were looking for.   For the others, it takes too much energy and effort and they’d rather keep living paycheck to paycheck.  I’m not saying it’s for everyone, but it beats the J.O.B (Just Over Broke), and lately the threat of unemployment.

Listed here are my personal reasons for diving into direct selling so many years ago.

I Am My Own Boss

I set my own schedule, vacation when I want, I give myself a pay raise and I am in control.

I Get Way More Tax Benefits

Because I work from home and have a “home-based business”, I am entitled to tax deductions I would not normally be entitled to.  I get to write off a portion or percentage of my utilities on my home, office supplies, the mileage on my car (keep good records) and other expenses dedicated to my home office.  Internet, phone and fax line, cell phone, there are so many tax deductions to consider that I encourage you to consult your CPA or tax consultant.  You could also check United First Financial’s new product called BizPack.  It includes the Udeduct system for business owners to optimize the business deductions each are entitled to.

I Have Friends All Over The World

Although I’ve traveled on vacation to different parts of the world, it has been more fun traveling to meet up with friends that I have met through business.  Direct selling is all about building relationships and once you find your niche, you find like minded people everywhere.  Some become your customers, some become your team members and most become your friends.

I Save Time And Money

Little did I realize 20 years ago that I would be drawn into direct selling.  It’s not really selling when you’re just sharing with people you know.  But that’s what direct selling is.  I found myself buying products (perfume, cosmetics, vitamins, etc) from friends I worked with because it was convenient to buy from them and it was saving me money.  Back then I would call to order or reorder and they would deliver or mail directly to me.  Of course now days it’s even easier with the internet and an online presence.  Today all ordering, processing and payments are available 24/7 from a website.  I became a recurring customer to many direct sellers and enjoyed becoming a direct seller myself for more savings.

I Am Compensated For The Effort I Put In

Direct selling is work.  All the education and training I have under my belt however has paid off.  There is a learning curve when you start out in direct selling just like any other career but once you find the passion within you, there really is nothing to hold you back.  If you want it bad enough and you have set your goals in front of you, just like you do to climb the corporate ladder, all that’s left is to plug into the system, find a mentor to follow and keep plugging away.  For your own efforts you will be compensated greatly, but once  you understand the value of building a team your income increases significantly.  Think Compounded Interest!

I’d like to say that every direct selling business I’ve been associated with has been a successful endeavor, but I can’t.  But what I learned from my past experiences is that I was educating myself along the way for the right company to come along.  I know I’ve found it with United First Financial and I hope you do too.
