Network Marketing: What it means to be a Network Marketing Professional

I used to think people who were into network marketing were scammers. I thought they were people who did not want to work. I thought they were people who sold you stuff they swore worked and then “bounced” with your money, never to be heard from again. In the last few years, I have come to realize that is not the case. I was very fortunate to join a network marketing company that changed my life for the good forever. Let me explain.

This company, which makes and sells health, wellness, and beauty products came out of the woodwork in my area almost overnight. My friend, who we will call Jane, kept telling me she was losing loads of weight and had so much energy. I told her she was full of it and went about my business. The more I saw her, the skinnier she was. I started paying attention to her. Pretty soon, I was asking for whatever she was on. I was handed something called ACE.

I was like, okay, what the hell is this? A pill? Nah, wasn’t going to take a bunch of pills to jack me up and leave me feeling crappy. Well, I finally gave in and took one. Oh my bajesus, it was amazing!!! I had never felt that awesome. I had so much energy. I was able to get my housework done and not feel ran down afterwards. It was great! Jane put me in touch with her distributor and I never looked back.

Almost two years go by and I was down 108lbs. I was looking good.

I was happier with myself than I had been as long as I could remember. I was always heavy, so I hadn’t seen the weight I was carrying as a big deal. I didn’t feel fat. Guys still checked me out, so my weight wasn’t an issue, though I secretly hated being fat. I used to sit and cry and rail at God for making me have fat genes. Guys only paid attention to me because they thought since I was fat that I would be easy to get into bed. Didn’t work out for them but it made me realize things needed to change.

I got pregnant with my third child in 2014 and had her in 2015 in January. I gained 129lbs with her. I was 349lbs. I hated myself again. Just like that. Well, after a few months of moping and not losing weight after I had her, I came across a post of another friend. They were selling ACE! I was over the moon! I found out that it wasn’t the same ACE. It was a reformulated version. It wasn’t as powerful as the original but it worked! Then, I started checking out other programs and kits this company sells.

I purchased the Saba 60 kit. Now, it was $120 and I was straight skeptical. I did not think it would work as it required learning a bunch of new things. Or so I thought. Well, I got my kit and a year later, I am down 80lbs and feel fanflipptastic! I went from a size 28 in plus sizes to a 22 and even that size is loose on me. My knees and back does not hurt near as bad anymore. My hair, nails, and even my skin has improved. I have met some amazing people I refuse to call anything other than family. This includes my boss, Dhamendra Lachman and Gary Hail, the owners of Saba, and an amazing and wonderful company that changed my life.

My partner and dear friend, Angela Maddox, who has been with Saba for six years, has inspired me and taught me perseverance is key along with being able to relate your story, who you are, into what we do. I have never met such an amazing woman as Maddox, unless you include such other wonderful ladies as Rhonda Reed, Lisa Fenstermaker, Peggy Seifert, Danielle Johnson (both of them), and let’s not forget the men, either! There is Rhonda’s husband Steve, who always has a kind word, Marc Maddox, who built an empire with Angela, and Aaron Hedges, who is extremely knowledgeable in many areas including exercise and nutrition. These and many others are part of the reason I changed my mind about network marketing. I am so blessed to call Saba and everyone involved with Saba my family and home.

I am and have been an independent sales associate for two years now and a product of the product for over a year. I will never go with another company for weight loss help. I will never go with another network marketing company. Saba is where it is at. The level of respect that we get from our bosses are way better than any company I have ever worked for. The benefits and compensations along with the commissions are amazing. Our bosses spoil us and always listen to us. They do not act as though you do not matter. They treat us like the family we are.

Network marketing Professional, to me, says that the person is committed to making a change. They are flexible and willing to learn. We build trust and relationships that last. We take on a world not ready to get healthy and we convert them for a lack of a better term. They jump on the Saba train and those who fall off, well, we swing that train right around and pick them back up when they’re ready to come home. We never get mad at anyone who wants to go with another weight loss company. We never leave new associates floundering in the wind. We show them how to be a professional and we train like crazy. Not many network marketing companies will train their associates like Saba.

In closing, I just want to say, not all network marketing companies are scams. This company has allowed me to start my own business that I am building into an empire. I lost 80lns this go around. My husband, Michael, has lost 50lbs, and it has changed the way we look at eating, getting healthy, and building bridges to the dreams we have. No other company out there will change you the way Saba changes EVERYONE. Thank you Saba! And thank you to every single person who struggles on a daily with their weight, lack of energy, or any other struggle. I am here for you and so is Saba. The train has not left the station yet. Find me and Saba on Facebook!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
