Why I Fired Myself from MLM

“You’re fired.”

It had to be done. Things just weren’t working out. It was time to go in a different direction.

So I looked in the mirror and said the two words everybody dreads…”You’re fired.”

You may be asking yourself, “Why, Jason? Why would you fire yourself? No one wants to be fired.”

Allow me to elaborate a little bit further.

I’ve been involved in the network marketing industry for roughly two years now. To this industry I brought degrees in Communications and Writing, as well as Leadership. I also brought “Corporate America” experience in sales, marketing, management, leadership, and business development.

But I, like many people, did not know what to fully expect from my first network marketing encounter. I thought the idea was sound, the compensation lucrative, and I bought into a lot of the hype I heard from my upline and company leaders on sizzle calls.

To make a long story short, I was very green and very naïve. I never felt entitled to a fortune, but I thought some sort of results would come my way, even by playing the law of averages. The more people I talked to, the closer I was getting to a yes…right? This was my sales experience coming into play.

I took a lot of the “no’s” I received very personally. I started to become discouraged. There was even a block of time where I did nothing with my business whatsoever. It just sat on the shelf, collecting dust, while I paid my monthly fee to keep it operational.

Then a couple realizations hit me in the face like a sack of oranges. I hated my job. I despised my boss. I couldn’t stand living paycheck-to-paycheck. Trading my precious time for measly wages and pencil-whipped paychecks became something I loathed.

So I did something everyone human being should do in all facets of life: I took action!

I began expanding my education. I began looking for mentors that I could surround myself with and mimic their activities. Instead of wishing I had a huge marketing budget, I accentuated the positives. I started developing my leadership skills and paying closer attention to ways I could be successful in this industry.

Then, it happened. I fell prey to the struggling economy, and the unstable job market hit home. I lost my “9 to 5” job.

Like so many people these days, I was forced to find a way to replace that income. Fortunately, I was in a position to make my back-up plan of a home-based business my primary income stream.

But…despite some success in MLM once I started following and learning from the right people, I simply didn’t see it as a viable system for generating the income I needed to keep my family afloat.

So…I did what needed to be done. I made the executive decision to change the course of my life.

I fired myself from MLM.

And I found a true entrepreneur’s dream in CarbonCopyPRO. I found a business model that allowed me to apply the techniques I had learned from my studies over the past two years, as well as expand my knowledge and learn every aspect of marketing online.

So…in essence, I was fired twice in the span of a month. And both instances led to life-changing experiences that have enabled me to work for myself, from the comfort of my home office, and pass on my knowledge of leadership and business development to other serious, dedicated entrepreneurs!

CarbonCopyPRO is loaded with success stories. Take my business partners, Aaron and Sofia Rashkin, for example. These folks did all the typical MLM marketing efforts, like recruiting friends and family and buying leads. They even hosted over 40 home parties…while Sofia was pregnant! Now, they laugh at the miniscule MLM checks they used to receive. Click Here to watch their story.
