Ok... day number two of my Plexus Restart and blogging adventure... and what'd ya know... there's a major internet outage in my area!!! You've GOT to be kidding me!!!! I mean REALLY?!? I spent all day yesterday researching and reading new material on MLMs and Network Marketing and blogging and every thing I could find. I have new bookmarks galore! I have new videos and blogs to read, new books to add to the Kindle wishlist... I have things TO DO, people!! I ended the day yesterday full of a new hope and a new energy, a brand new attitude! I was all fired up and had a to-do list of things I was going to get done RIGHT AWAY!!! I wanted a jump start on my restart even before convention got here.
Then there was a thunder storm. A nice, big, loud, frog strangling thunder storm. Yep... a good 'un. And I live in a very, very rural area, so the internet coverage is only mediocre at best on the brightest and sunniest of days. So when there is even so much as a high wind, let alone a thunder storm, we have some internet issues. I went to bed last night already frustrated because the connection had been disconnecting and reconnecting continuously for over an hour. I told myself, "Take a deep breath, get some rest, every thing will fine and dandy in the morning. You'll get a good hour worth of work done before you go to your "real" job and all will be right with the world again."
Boy, was I wrong!!! Wronger than wrong in fact! This morning all was NOT right with the world! To start with I could have sworn I hit the snooze button, but 40 minutes later when my son's chihuahua shoved her very cold nose into my ear I JOLTED up outta the bed with that heart-pounding, stomach-dropping, I'm late, I'm late, I'm late feeling! I ran to the kitchen to start the coffee pot. I pushed start once, nothing happened; twice, nothing happened; third time, now I am starting to panic!!! Then it dawned on me! Silly girl, put your contacts in and turn on a light! You've been pushing the wrong button!! So with my coffee finally brewing I splashed through the shower like a little kid in the back yard with a sprinkler; hit the important parts and let's get! Now, in record breaking time I am showered, dressed, half-way presentable, and sitting down with my oh-so-wonderful cup of java, all pumped up and ready to read a blog about network marketing that I am sure will knock my socks off and set my pants on fire. That's when it happened... I fired up my lap top, double clicked my Google Chrome icon from the desktop, took a sip of coffee as I waited on it to load... then waited... and waited... and low and behold! "Can not connect to the internet" showed up on my screen. Yep... you guessed it... still no internet connection!
This is when the panicked and frustrated Jordan starts to scream and argue with that tree-hugging, sliver-lining-finding, keeping-on-the-sunny-side, glass-half-full Jordan from last night. "Get some rest, you said. Every thing will be fine in the morning, you said. All will be well with the world, you said! Well, it ain't right, chick!! It's wrong, very, very WRONG!" So I stomped around, fumed, clicked every button I could think of, restarted every device in the house, and still got nothing!! Before I knew it, it was time to head off to the "real" job. Dang ole eight to five'n it might pay the bills but it sure don't knock my pants off or set my socks on fire or what have you.
Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut, while I was at work my wonderful mother was able to determine that the storm last night knocked out the wireless router and that our provider was experiencing a very large amount of outages in the area and that although we were all frustrated and feeling very out of touch, the internet would be back by the end of the day! By the time I got home we had a new router and a bright, shiny, new connection and FINALLY, all was right with the world again!! I was also able to read that blog!! So there ya go, see what a little patience and not freaking out will get ya?!
Oh and another thing... I got my new convention team shirt from our leader today and convention is only like 36 hours away!!! WHOOP WHOOP!!! Bring it on Dallas!! I need some thing to get set on fire!!! Or at least get to have a few drinks and an excuse to dress up fancy!! Y'all be sweet and keep on rockin your networks, I'm headed to bed!! Cross your fingers and say a prayer I really do hit the snooze button in the morning!!!

Getting out there
Howdy folks!! Let me introduce myself to y'all!! I'm Jordan!! I'm just a good ole southern girl from Texas who has plunged head first into MLM/Network Marketing. I've tried a couple things in the past but barely got my toes wet, lost a little money, and gave up. Then I discovered Plexus. The products worked, BIG TIME, and I need money, BIG TIME, so I jumped all in... it's been a little over a year and I find myself having to rebuild my team... YIKES!!
Now, don't get me wrong, this is not another failed attempt. I have discovered a company that fits me, with products that work, and a comp plan I can understand. I have also discovered that network marketing WORKS and is probably the safer, smarter route to go these days. I want a comfortable and secure retirement plan, and by the looks of things these days, network marketing is the most sure fire way to make that happen. I have had great success this past year. More success than I thought possible with only a small amount of effort on my part. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I am seeing now that there is A LOT to this business that I still don't know yet. It's not just selling stuff and signing people up and hoping for the best.
So, here's why I am starting this blog... I need more motivation... I need more exposure... I need a place to see my efforts and ideas out in writing... and I am hoping it will help some other people just starting out as well. Although I have had some "accidental" success I am not finding that about half of the people I have signed up in the last year are dropping out on me. I am faced with rebuilding my team. So I found myself wondering... am I attracting and signing up the wrong people? Have I just "convinced" these people to join me or "do me a favor", taken their money and ran? That is NOT the type of leader or network marketer I want to be. I want to find people who are just as passionate about these products, this company, and this business as I am. I want to find people who want a better future, a better retirement, a better way of life, than what main stream business and "normal jobs" can offer these days. I want to build a team, a dream, and an extraordinary future for myself, my son, and the people who join me. I want to go all the way to the top!!
So.... know any body like that??? lol
I have already had a ton of fun on this journey and learned a ton about myself. Now it's time to start learning more about the business and getting myself out there. It's time to get out of my immediate circle, out of my comfort zones, get myself, my name, and my brand out there. It's time to get SERIOUS! I AM going to the top. My want to, my drive, my desire is far more powerful than any excuses I have had in the past year. I am ready!! Who's with me??!!?!? I hope you guys stick around, follow the blog, learn and grow with me. I hope whatever mistakes, success, triumphs, and let downs I face can help some fellow MLM-ers out there.
My company's convention is coming up in just 3 more days!! I am very, very excited!! This will be my first convention and if I have learned any thing this year it's that STARS are born at EVENTS. When you look at the "top" people in any MLM you will find driven, passionate, people who never missed an event. They made it to every convention, every meeting, every time. So I am going to convention this year, I am going to blog about it while I'm there, and I am going to come back on FIRE and ready to SKY ROCKET to the top!! So every one hold on to your britches... I'm about to DO DIS THANG!!!!!
