They Said I Was Crazy When I Left My High Paying Job at the Bank to Start My Own Company…
Were They Right?
Job security and a weekly or monthly paycheck is all it takes for some people to be happy…that isn’t the case for me and after 20 years of working with a major bank in Sweden as a financial advisor…
I was really fed up being an employee and decided it was time to create my own future
Hello, my name is Anette Hollander and along with my husband Kjell, I live in Southern Greece only minutes away from the Mediterranean Coast. As a matter of fact, I can look out onto the sea from the balcony at home. (But back to business)
I wish I could tell you the transition from employee to entrepreneur was easy. But the path to one’s goals in life isn’t always a straight line…and I was no exception.
At first I started a brick and mortar franchise company and grew it to over 40 employees. Unfortunately my franchise business was a lot of work, stress, and not worth the money I made. Plus you can’t move that kind of business to where ever you need or want to be.
As my husband is an airline pilot he often find work in other countries and my business didn’t allow me to move with him. Therefore, a business I could run from anywhere at the time seemed very attractive.
Before I go on I will say I learned a very valuable lesson from running a more traditional business…
My husband and I now believe health and wealth go hand-in-hand. Without good health money isn’t worth a great deal…rich and dead is not what I’m looking to be. With my franchise business, I was making money but I was also endangering my health (it isn’t normal to have the flu for 3 weeks) .
Making money doesn’t have to kill you…as a matter of fact it can energize you. If you do what you love, it doesn’t seem like work at all.
I needed to find something that made money and could be run from anywhere. So naturally I turned to MLM to look for the solution.
I wish I could tell you when I started with MLM I found what I was looking for. What I thought was going to be financial freedom from home turned out to be 9 years of too tiny commission checks, big marketing costs, and a downline that don´t grow as fast as you want.
I know most people quit MLM after only 3 months which is a huge problem when building a home business. (The reason and solution for that problem is something I teach about in my new business)
But I’ve never been one to quit because of a few set backs.
Instead of throwing in the towel and going back to work in shame…I chose to use my time in MLM to develop the most important investment…myself. The knowledge and leadership training I received while in MLM were invaluable.
I studied authors like Robert Kiyosaki and played his “Cashflow” board game. I also became a big follower of the movie “The Secret” and the Law of Attraction – I know to some people that all seems like hokey nonsense. For me it’s not only a reality but it’s a way of life.
My 9 years in MLM was leading to something…at the time I just didn’t know what. (I’ll get to what I found in a bit)
The great motivational speaker, Jim Rohn, said something powerful that I want to share with you, because my husband and I both strongly believe it and I also want to tell you…
How I Ended 9 Years of Struggling
With Traditional MLM…
But first, I want you to think about a few things…
What are you looking for at the moment? If you have been or are in an MLM company you may relate to my problems.
What are your dreams? What do you envision your life to look like when you reach your dreams? Hold on to what you’re thinking about (I’ll tell you why in a minute).
This is important because in order to get somewhere you have to know where you want to go and why.
For me it was the ability to look out at the Mediterranean Sea from my home and look at a computer screen sitting next to me…see the money I made without punching a clock, sitting in traffic, or answering to someone else. Now this is no longer a dream for me…it is a reality.
Maybe your dream is different – but whatever it is, don’t ever think for a minute that it isn’t obtainable. With the right tools, system, and most of all the right mentor, you will realize that dream…and it’s my hope we accomplish our dreams together.
So now I’ll get to the part about ending to my 9 years of struggle with MLM…
It took me almost 2 years to find the solution…
I searched. I scrutinized. I left no stone unturned. I investigated dozens of businesses looking for the one that would fit and would put an end to the high marketing costs and little returns I had with traditional MLM.
So you might be wondering…what did I find?
I found that in order to build a successful home business in 2009 you are going to need a new revolutionary approach.
Outdated marketing techniques such as approaching people in the mall, or making a list of 100 people you know, passing out fliers, to introduce people to your business are a thing of the past.
If you’re not currently using the internet to promote your business, you’re missing out on untold potential for massive growth. I’m not an internet marketing pro so I had to keep that in mind when I picked a business.
Using the internet, you can recruit people in other countries across the world or your next door neighbor, it doesn’t matter.
When using what I call “Attraction Marketing” (which I teach) people find and ask you to join your business! You truly can become the hunted instead of the hunter.
I also wanted a business that made money equal to or greater than the time and effort I put in. You can see results in the business I now run in as little as 90 days…less if you’re truly driven. You no longer have to wait 3 to 5 years like you do with traditional MLM!
So what’s the catch?
Believe it or not there IS a catch…before you can get started I have to know you’re serious. My time is valuable and I choose to spend it with self motivated people who have an “entrepreneurial” mindset.
Remember earlier when I asked you those questions? That’s because I require you to fill out an application to work with me in my business.
I want to know what drives you – what your goals are and that you are for real. The network marketing industry is full of people who are not serious about building a business, and believe it or not this one little road block saves me countless hours of dealing with them.
If you’re in MLM right now then you’ll know what I’m talking about…
If on the other hand you’re thinking this might be too much, I want to invite you to check out Magnetic Sponsoring If you’re serious about building a home business the information you will learn will change how you look at the network marketing industry for ever…it did for me.
The last thing I’ll leave you with is what Jim Rohn talks about…he says what ever you give out you get back. We not only live that in our lives, we see the negative side with people who don’t.
What kind of product do you want to promote? Something that gathers dust in a closet or on a shelf, or something that everyone needs no matter what situation they are in?
Selling a product you don’t believe has a beneficial use to society might make you money in the short term…but what comes back to you in the long term will not be worth your effort.
That’s why we promote the product and business that we do – because at the end of the day we feel good about what we represent and know that it positively changes the lives of the people who are willing to participate, put forth the effort, and are motivated enough to create positive change in their lives.
That’s a business both you and I can feel good about promoting and feel great about when the financial rewards come in a few short months vs. the 3 to 5 years you have to put in with traditional MLM.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to see someone put their years of frustration with traditional MLM behind them and step into a business with real income potential.
I know exactly where my life is going…
My only hope is that you are motivated and self driven enough to see the value in what I’m offering you. Because this journey is one I can’t go on my own…I need to be around and work with other success minded entrepreneurs in order to succeed.
One year from now are you going to be talking about your struggles or how one positive decision changed the course of your life and put you on the road to success?
Success is your choice, like Robert Kiyosaki says “you have to choose to be rich before you can be rich”
I hope you feel the passion I have for what I do…and it has sparked your interest to find out more. Since I expect that this is the case I don’t want to let you down.

I wish you success and abundance in what ever you choose…
