My Story

My name is Taigh (pronounced almost like 'Tag') and I’m a full time Network Marketer and traveling entrepreneur. Let me quickly tell you how I got started and what that exactly means...

I started working my Home Based Business in 2005 on a high note.

The idea of being able to...

  • Be My Own Boss
  • Set My Own Hours
  • Travel Where and When I Wanted
  • Earn A Solid Income

all REALLY appealed to me. So I thought heck, why wouldn't I give this kind of Home Business (a.k.a. Network Marketing Business) a shot?!

I honestly thought I had 5 or 10 people who would surely be interested in joining my business right out of the gates.

I thought I could work hard for the first couple years, and retire at a very young age. Everything was good in life – until...

I was Slapped by the Reality of Network Marketing

I spent the next two years struggling to build my Network Marketing business. I’ve tried just about everything that they suggested I do. From;

- Meeting in coffee shops
- Approaching friends, family, and colleagues
- Hotel presentations
- Phone parties
- Home parties
- Calling leads
- Being a part of network groups (BNI and the city Chamber of Commerce)
- Dropping off flyers at people’s doors
- Posting flyers around town
- Calling friends and family asking for referrals
- Having a booth in trade shows, schools, and malls...

Building the business using these methods was NOT what I thought freedom would look like. The traditional face-to-face methods of building the business started to really bother me. Thinking back on the number of hours I’ve wasted talking to people who never really qualified... or thinking back to how I felt like I had to chase people to follow up with them; I thought that there just had to be a better way to build this business.


I have a Confession

I was thinking of quitting on a number of occasions. I had just about every reason to quit with all of the frustration I had experienced building the business.

On top of all of that I was soon going to graduate from post-secondary and I had a decision to make.
I could continue down the path I had gone to school for, which would lead me to the corporate world of a 9-5pm job, traveling back and forth in traffic every day while someone told me when I could take vacations. Or, I could I could try to make this Network Marketing thing work and live a lifestyle of my dreams.

It was around this time I was called foolish to opt-out of a Co-op Program at one of the finest business schools in Canada – As I made the choice to chase my dreams.

Do you relate?

Has anyone looked down on your decision to build a Home-based business?
Said that you were ‘crazy’ for doing so?

I was sure that if I just kept to the ‘Proven System’ I would find success eventually. So that’s what I did.
I got to the point where I was able to support myself to make the full time switch. I was in business from home – Full time.

I was as happy as could be for I had gone through the struggle and built my business to a point where it could support me. Having the flexibility and freedom to set my own schedule was something I quickly got use to.

Though I must admit, I didn’t have much in terms of responsibilities.

I lived way up there in the 1 bedroom attic apartment...

My ‘office’ was in the corner of my bedroom and it really wasn’t a place I would want to present to prospects. (The staircase of death wasn’t all that appealing as well).

So I was happy to be in business full time. I thought if I had more time I could breeze through and build a massive organization.

I continued to follow the plan to Invite, Present, Train... and I soon started to experience even more frustration building my business.

“How’s that?” you might be wondering.

- Because I had hit the bottom of my names list
- I tried everything that they told me to do
- I was Sick of Chasing prospects, and following up with them
- I was stuck, and I didn’t know what to do next

I was truly willing to try just about anything to make this thing work on a big scale, but the strategies I was using just wasn’t getting me to where I wanted to go. I felt like I would take 3 steps forward and 2 steps back... over and over again.

I remember what I would tell people sitting down with them,
“If you want something different, you have to do something different”

But I wasn’t following my own advice. I then went on a search to find out a better way to build this business.

I made some discoveries that have forever changed the way I view this business.

In a short time, I was able to:

  • Buy a house with a separate home office
  • Build the business with strategies I enjoyed
  • Travel across the world to exotic locations with my new 'Mobile Business'
