Nutrition and Network Marketing Choosing a career has never been easy for me, however, due to a long illness due to fibromyalgia, a career in the field of nutrition and Network Marketing made me found. Fibromyalgia is an autoimmune disease that affects nerve endings in different parts of the body. Some of the symptoms are chronic fatigue and pain. For the most part, I just wanted to finish the day, go home, and go to bed. I didn't enjoy what most people consider a good quality of life. A good friend of mine offered to share this bottle of juice that actually looked like a bottle of wine. The juice is MonaVie. It has 19 fruit blends from around the world. The fruits work synergistically with the human body. My energy levels were high and my pain was decreasing. I wanted to live again. For example, I wanted to ride my bike and stay up late watching movies. My neighbors, friends and loved ones have noticed a huge difference in me. People in general asked me what I was doing differently and of course I was more than happy to share the good news. Now I enjoy sharing a quote from Hippocrates: “Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.” The evolution of network marketing actually began in 1903 with a company called Watkins Corporation. This company allowed consumers to purchase products at a wholesale price and sell them at retail. It also allowed people to recruit others into their business to do the same (The Evolution of Network Marketing). This technique is multilevel marketing where two becomes four and four becomes eight and so on. It is a business in which the recruiter cannot succeed if he does not help the recruit succeed. The industry was slow between yes… middle of paper… needs. The tax benefits alone are enough to say that everyone should have some sort of business on the side. I like giving presentations about the product and the business model. Enjoying what you love to do is a more meaningful life.
