Life Changing Decisions

I’m sure you have made life changing decisions in your life.  We all have.  We come to a crossroad where we have to make a decision to go one way or another. Regardless of the choice you make, the decision will change your life. 

When you think back on some of the life changing decisions you’ve had to make in your life, think about all the things that had to happen in order for to get to the place where you had to make the decision.

Magic happens in our lives and changes it for the good.  The decisions we make along the way gets us to that point.  Sometimes it can be hundreds of little decisions or more before you see the magic happen.

Have you ever been at the right place at the right time?  What brought you to that point?  Basically, it was life changing decisions that brought you there.

Life Changing Decisions

Some of the most common life changing decisions we make are going to college, choosing a career, getting married, buying a house and having children.  But what about the little things that add up.  Think about how you met your spouse.  What decisions did you have to make in order to be at the right place at the right time to meet?  While you didn’t recognize it at the time those small decisions let up to a series of life changing decisions.

Life Changing Decisions – My Story

In August of 2011, my husband became disabled and unemployed.  We had been living on two incomes and now had one.  I often had to take off work to take him to Dr. appointments and became his house maid when I got home from work.  It is amazing how many things people need when they are watching tv.  I know I was up a lot to do this or that for him.  It was all good though, I felt his pain and his dented pride.  It wasn’t easy on him.

Things finally eased up and he started to do things for himself.  Prior to his disability, I had gained weight and it was discovered that I had a fatty liver.  My Dr. told me I needed to lose weight.  For a year I used a gym and a personal trainer.  Then I moved on to at home workouts.  I had more success with working out at home and finally got to the point that my liver was no longer inflammed.  People I knew asked what I had been doing to lose the weight and I told them.  They wanted to try it so I pointed them in the direction of my coach to get started.  It wasn’t long before I realized that I could be making the extra money that my coach was making and I became a Coach.  It was my first foray into online affiliate marketing. That company is a great company but I really didn’t make much money.  Since I was trying to replace an income, money did matter!

While trying to figure out how to market my business online, I joined groups on Facebook that was made up of coaches who shared ideas and successes.  I met people in those groups that would lead me to where I am today.

A couple of the other coaches were talking about Empower Network – one was curious and the other, while new, was a part of it. I asked some questions and then thought about it for a while while I checked it out as much as I could without being an affiliate. About a week later, I made some life changing decisions. I decided that I was going to join Empower Network and give it all I had to make it work for me.

For one reason or another, some people hesitate to join, but they don’t want to get out either.  What they are waiting for I have yet to figure out.  Some of the people who are on my “list” to get emails have been there for almost 3 months, others have started getting my emails today.  The people I pay the most attention to are the ones that have made the decision to just get going.  To take charge of their lives and make the life changing decisions to get in and get going.

Now it’s your turn.  Are you going to join us or sit on the sidelines.  You can’t just sit there forever, you know.  You need to make the life changing decisions to take control of your finances and create free time to do what you want to do.  You can have the life you only dream about (if you haven’t given up dreaming that is!)  But you have to make the choice to get on board.

Empower Network is a year old.  There are 30,000 affiliates worldwide and there is plenty of room for exponential growth.  The time to join can’t be better.  You got on my list for a reason and you need to make a decision.  So what are you going to do with the gift you’ve been offered?  I believe there is only one way to make the decision . . . and that is to get in now!

To your success!
