Being in business for yourself can be rewarding but also is a challenging and lonely place. You may at some point decide to remain in business for yourself but no longer be by yourself. When you make a decision to partner with a company you need to do your due diligence. What is their long term goals, what is their mission statement, check their past record, are you just a number or does your business really matter in the overall picture? As a smart business person you will look into all of this but then we all have a human side as well. This is what drives me more than success, power, popularity or money. I need to feel someones heart. I need to know they do have my back. If there are issues my voice matters even if my voice is in the form of an email.
When we were first introduced to Loren and JR Ridinger we felt there was something very different about this couple. They had a positive energy that you dont see very often and I believe can not be made up. Our first opportunity we had to hear them live was in Miami, Fl 2010. We sat with over 20,000 Internet Entrepreneurs in a convention center at the total opposite end from the stage and I felt the commitment they had for our business as if we were sitting across my kitchen table. Very few times in our lives will we come across individuals strangers to us that care about our success and our happiness. This couple does. After 22 years of building their company MarketAmerica they are financially secure, they have reached a level of fame that most will never see and their family is by their side every step of the way. So why not just relax sit on a beach somewhere sipping cocktails? Why because they care, they made a commitment to ME and 180,000 others world wide! They said they believe in me. They believe we can make it happen, we can change our financial situation, we can build from nothing into something, we can change the world. It starts with our belief in ourselves, our belief in the company and they repay us by believing in US. No matter if this is the first day you registered your business or you have been with them from the inception they give all they have to you everyday. They walk along side you on your journey never leaving you behind. Your commitment to grow your business is all they ever ask in return. For this they push forward everyday developing new technology, new products, traveling the globe to bring our business to countries and people you never even heard of.
I admire and am inspired by both of them. Thank you Loren and JR Ridinger for juggling it all so we can see it is possible just do it!
