My Story
Hello. Thank you for stopping by :)
My name is Angela Hernandez from South Ga, originally from Northern PA. I am a mother of 6 and a grandmother of two... My oldest is married and I am raising my 5 boys. My career history has been the criminal justice field. In the year 2000, I had to quit my job due to pregnancy complications.
In order to make ends meet, I started making hand-crafted jewelry and selling at flea markets. I also did alot of buying/reselling.
Soon after, I was introduced to my first network marketing company. It came and went so fast I do not even remember much about it.
Over the next 7 years I joined and failed several different MLM companies. Just to name a few (Xango, Pre-Paid Legal, Coastal Vacations, Platinum One Destinations, GDI, Liberty League International and more) I spent upwards of $20,000 on these companies, programs, tools and buying leads. I did EVERYTHING my uplines were teaching me to do. It just wasn't working. WAS IT ME? Was I just destined to fail at ANYTHING I do?
In 2007 I was introduced to Michael Dlouhys book "Success in 10 Steps". I read it with a passion. I thought "HECK, I REALLY like this man. He is funny" I promptly discarded it because he didn't know what he was talking about. I mean, everything HE said was just the OPPOSITE of what my upline was telling me to do. And NO, I was not having ANY sucess, but I had invested too much money into THIS company to throw it all away :-
Fast forward one year later. 2008. August 2008. My life had took a turn for the worse. My situation had caused me to lose my savings, my home and more. I came across the book again. I read it again. THIS TIME, it seemed to be entirely different than what I read the first time. I thought "HECK, I REALLY like this guy. He knows EXACTLY why I have been failing all these years and he explained how it WAS NOT MY FAULT!"
I called Michael at home. Told him my story. He listened. He asked if I was coachable. I said YES! He sent me some audios. I listened to them and called him back several hours later. He plugged me into some live training calls and I was HOOKED. For the next few weeks I was either on a live call or I was listening to a recorded audio. I was a SPONGE. I could NOT get enough of Mentoring for Free.
What I learned over them few weeks was life-changing. mainly in my personal life. The Mental Cleanse call was a life saver for me. I still did not have the belief that I could be successful in MLM though. I learned that the company I was involved in was NOT a 5 pillar company. learning that was bittersweet. It was devastating to realize I had just wasted 2 years of my life and threw over $10,000 down the drain. BUT, at the same time, I had a renewed sense of hope.
I did not immediately jump into another company. I listened to so much training, it was if I knew Michael Dlouhy personally. In September 2008, I was able to meet Michael, shake his hand and give him a GREAT BIG HUG!
My belief grew. I found my 5 pillar company. I put everything I learned into practice. I still did not see major results for the next year, but I was also using the "Slight Edge" philosophy. By early 2010 I had accomplished things I NEVER would have believed possible 2 years earlier. It is much easier to move forward now because now, I know exactly what was holding me back.
NOW, I have a VISION. I have DESIRE. I have the BELIEF that I can move mountains. ALL of this is possible because at the time when I DIDN'T have the belief in myself, I borrowed Michaels and Sarah Thompsons and Henrietta Hakes.
TODAY, I absolutely LOVE what I do. I LOVE being able to help people however I can. Whether it is helping them to be more successful in their company with our FREE training, helping them find a 5 pillar company, learning the color personalities, or even introducing them to the Mental Cleanse.
LIFE IS GOOD!
