"To live your life in your own way... to reach for the goals you have set for yourself... to be the you that you want to be - that is success." ~Mary Loberg
This month we celebrate Independence Day in the United States. In conversation with myself, I asked, "what do freedom and independence mean to me and how have they manifested in my life?"
Twenty-two years ago, I chose the industry of network marketing because it embodied the principles of freedom and independence. I know of no other place where we have the freedom to work how, where,
when and with whom we choose, and the ability to attain true financial independence for ourselves and our families.
As with any journey, there can be many bumps, hurdles and detours along the way; but just knowing that in overcoming every obstacle you are closer to your goal of building a true legacy, an empire of
your very own, you are manifesting the ultimate expression of freedom.
Today, I give thanks to the industry of network marketing for setting me FREE!!!
I know I'm not alone in believing that network marketing is the ultimate vehicle in achieving financial and personal independence. We want to hear your expression of freedom! Please share with us why you've chosen network marketing as your vehicle for achieving freedom and independence. Let's take the time to inspire and be inspired...it's the right thing to do!

I joined NWM almost 20 years ago (before I was even out of high school.) I met incredible people living incredible lives and knew they had something that I did not....DREAMS & GOALS! Much has happened over the years and I now know that for me NWM is HOME!
My ultimate goal is to help as many people as possible live their dreams, achieve their goals and live the life that they dared to only dream about or read about in stories. NWM for me is not a fairy tale, or work of fiction, but rather our
lives' story written by skillful authors and presented in the form of the best leather bound books. It is a constant work in progress and when finished shall be a classic to pass onto our heirs.
Thank you WTPowers for giving us all the one thing that is truly the life line of our business: People to share with, grow with and learn from. Think of all the people we have yet to meet and share this incredible concept with...Boy, the lives that we will change TOGETHER!
If I could give new people any advice it would be: Pat yourself on the back if you are reading this newsletter because that means that you are committed to your business. The process of learning in NWM is constant and every day we learn new things, meet new people, face new challenges, and accomplish new milestones. Share your dreams, write down your goals and live the life that you have always wanted!
Start to write your book now and know that with the fabulous combination of the concept of NWM and the support of WTPowers your book will be something that you will be proud to have others open! Here's to the stories yet untold!

I am involved in network marketing and more particularly with WTPowers because I saw the potential with this incredible automated marketing system. I want financial independence and the time freedom to enjoy that new found independence. I believe network marketing provides the opportunity and the Internet provides the vehicle while WTPowers provides the system to make a dynamic combination for success.
One of our short term goals is to make enough money that we can afford to have my wife retire and not have to work anymore. We both want that freedom for her to be able to say "I don't have to work anymore". That's the 'Why' that keeps me going.

Network Marketing was attractive to me because I could integrate family, church, pleasure and work while doing it from my home. As a Mom, teacher, singer, an community volunteer it has allowed me to create projects that are meaningful to me:
serving on orchestra and theatre boards, coordinating cultural arts programs at an elementary school, directing a Swedish children's Lucia Fest, performing in productions, singing at events, choir, giving skin care classes, educating people how toxins impact their health, aging process and even wealth, and enjoying being home
with the family's activities in a relaxing atmosphere with friends, flowers and fresh air!
After a few years, I realized what a personal time-freedom that is. Financial freedom is when one's own preventative supplements, personal care, household products and business expenses are now paid for, and the rest of the income can go for daily household expenses, projects and future dreams!
There is something special about people in network marketing. They care, they are involved in a unique service or products that are beneficial to everyone, they have commitment, drive, a respect for people and have talents that attract them to others.
What I've learned is that there are tools in the trade that can assist us. That listening to great speakers, reading, and talking with people who can affirm what my heart knows is right, and where my mind needs some alignment into higher thinking, it can keep me on track and provide the nourishment to reach my DREAMS.
My advice to neophytes in the network marketing world: If you feel like you are an entrepreneur, then you are one. Ride the learning curve and take the journey. With heart and mind focused daily and faith in the system, results will burst forth like the 4th of July!

In 1992 when first introduced to Network Marketing I was ready for a change. I was tired of my 8-5 accounting job and wanted a challenge where I could help others. I was at first very skeptical of what was being offered but the passion I soon discovered for the products made things easier to accept.
The most vital ingredient for my business is honesty and the acceptance of the concept that the more I help others succeed the more successful I am. I have found that consistent work at my business keeps things alive. The old adage -'Success only comes before work in the dictionary' is so true. Do not expect instant results - with enthusiasm and honesty it will happen but 'like Pantene, just not overnight.' I have found the basic training is the same and it all boils down to setting some goals and following through with your targets.

Most of our present day living is weighed down by worrying about what happens in the future. The rest of the time is spent feeling guilty, about what we did in the past. Any spare time leftover is used up in worrying about what we should, or shouldn't be doing or feeling about what we could or couldn't be doing.
Most of us seem unable to grasp the fact that we
are nature's crowning glory. There are no restrictions on our potential for or limits to success. Within each individual the potential is there and waiting to be used. Whatever is not used will atrophy, whatever is used will become stronger. People who work with their imagination,
dreams and creativity will find ideas will flow more easily.
"Our purpose is to realize our full potential! We are given life and our purpose should be to make a success - and that success can be measured only by comparing what we actually achieve with what we are potentially able to achieve.
That's why I joined my product distribution marketing and referral business. It gave me the freedom to choose my financial and spiritual destiny. The full potential of raising myself first to be able to help mankind. And belief is the foundation of realizing my success in doing it.
"After belief, deciding and committing to do it whatever it takes. Then plan, take action and I will realize my dream of being truly successful in all my endeavors in fulfilling of making a life. This is my sincere reminder also to those who are starting of making a life by going into the business of the millennium."
