Gee, I'm glad I did

Two people. Their names are "Gee, I'm glad I did" and "Darn, I wish I had". Both are working 9 - 5 jobs. Both have a family, a home, a yard, a garden, a vehicle to look after. Both hear about an opportunity, a chance to make some additional money from home. Both are living pay check to pay check. "Gee, I'm glad I did" decides to go for it. After all, an additional $500 or $1000 a month would make a huge difference in their lifestyle. "Darn, I wish I had" decides it won't work, it would interfere with the TV shows he likes to watch after work, he isn't ready to give up 8 to 10 hours a week to change his life.
Life goes on. The years pass, this life is almost over and "Gee, I'm glad I did" and "Darn, I wish I had" meet at a local coffee shop to catch up on each other's lives. "Gee" and "Darn" (their on a first name basis by now) reminisce about life, where they've been, what they've done. And you guessed it. "Darn, I wish I had" hears about how that network marketing opportunity he passed up because it wouldn't work provided a life for "Gee, I'm glad I did" that most people only dream about.
Did "Gee" retire early? Yes. Did "Gee" travel the world? Yes. Did "Gee" build his dream home? Yes. Did "Gee" support his community, any charity he chose to? Yes. "Darn, I wish I had" was aptly named. His regret was palatable.
You have the choice. Is your name "Gee, I'm glad I did" or "Darn, I wish I had"? It is never too late to change your name, or your life, or to learn to dream. It is a decision and you can make it today.
YOU will be glad you did.
To your success in network marketing,
