Start All Over Again

Had a very enlightening conversation on Google Hangout with a new friend of mine, Mr. Daniel Jay.  Daniel is a blogger and really becoming a force.  We have been chatting with each other for about a month.  He has been following my posts on Google+, and, he decided that he would have this discussion with me.  Mind you, Daniel is a lot younger than I am, but the things he shared with me concerning Network Marketing, made me take a good look at what I was doing as a novice Network Marketer.    I took a day just to review all of my notes and videos that I had been studying the past 6 months to begin my Network Marketing Career.  Two bits of information that he pointed out to me were:  “You haven’t told your story and Why I started Network Marketing!

APOLOGY

First and foremost, I owe an apology to all of the members of the various Social Media Groups’ MEMBERS  and Admins that welcomed me to join their ranks.  I have learned so much from them and for that I am truly thankful.  Upon joining these groups, I missed the very first requirement which was to introduce myself and NOT MY BUSINESS AFFILIATIONS.  i will be correcting that over the next few days.  Hope that all will forgive me for this basic oversight.  Reminds me of a lesson that I was taught by my Dad when I got my first that was not given to me at 16.  A neighbor of ours told me that I could have the car in her garage (1960 Plymouth Business Coupe) if I could get it started.  It was her husband’s and she did not drive.  The car had been sitting in the garage for a number of years.  I worked on that car for 2 weeks changing the oil, spark plugs, points, etc.  The car would not start.  My Dad worked his car and my Mom’s car all of the time.  He asked me:  “Son, what is the first thing I taught you about when a car won’t start?”  I answered:  “Check the battery!”  He said:  “Did you check the battery?”  My answer, as you may have guessed, was:  I put in a new battery and the car started right away.  That is why I decided to write this apology.  I forgot the very first lesson that I was taught about Network Marketing:  “Let people know who you are because people do business with people and not companies!”  My Bad!

INTRODUCTION

My name is Aubrey Harvey but I have been called”Billy or Bill” all of my life.  I am fast approaching 67 years here on this Earth which is a blessing in itself.  I have two Sisters and two Brothers younger than I.  I have two children, a daughter and a son, whom I am very proud of type of adults that they have become.  I have six grandchildren which I don’t get to see as often as I would like.  I retired a little over 2 years ago after working as a Marketing Rep for several insurance companies and finally, in Aviation Security both private and federal at O’hare International Airport for 20+ years.  I am a Vietnam Veteran blessed to make it back home.

After I retired, I moved back to my hometown in Central Illinois, a town of approximately 13,000 inhabitants.  After living in Chicago for 45+ years,  it was definitely something I had to make an adjustment.  The town is half the size and the only thing that hasn’t changed is the ultra-conservative attitude of the past.

WHY I STARTED NETWORK MARKETING

Many of my friends have asked me WHY I started Network Marketing. The answer really is quite simple. Because now, I will be able to reach more people who are tired of working for someone else and offer them a way to earn and learn...Amen...just like I have learned from each of you.  I, also, got extremely lucky becoming involved with The Global Power Team, a tremendous organization founded by Mr. Eric D’Cruz.

CONCLUSION

It took a conversation with a young man, half my age, to shed light on what I was missing in order to fulfill my “Why”.  To Daniel, I owe a special thanks.  With that being said, I decided to strip down to the basics and begin this journey anew.
