The Return of Lorreen

The Return Of Lorreen

I have been trying to work at home for years. I had been through as many ups and downs as I possibly could. However, after all of that time I had found something that worked for me. It was Online Business Alliance. I was able to learn how to work on the internet, not just follow what everyone else was doing, and things were going great. I was able to make a name for myself and a lot of people knew who I was, I was making great money and things were just PERFECT. I wasn’t only making money, but I was able to help other people learn the same things that I did. Advertising didn’t feel like advertising, and helping people felt GREAT. I was on top of the world, as far as I knew.

However, what people forget to remember is that we although we are Network Marketers making money, that we are human and things happen. I was knocked down 20 pegs by life. Life came up and knocked me on my butt, which brought down not just me, but my ability to work my business. I took for granted the fact that I was still getting signups even though I wasn’t advertising, and thought “This Is Great“. I will send them an email let them know I am here and keep moving.

I went from this:



To this:



This is when life put it's foot up my butt. I disappeared for about a month or so. Then when I got back to normal I thought if I take an extra step and just follow the pack, that things would be great I would be making more money, and still have my community of people that will follow me, and I will be able to add people to my business by adding capture pages, and auto responders, free ads, paid ads, etc. If I automate everything, I will be able to continue to bring in more people, and keep money coming in. That did not work, after a few weeks of doing that I realized that doing that took the personal aspect of the businesses from me. I lost touch with who I was and what I was trying to do.

I needed to take a step back and take a real hard look at what I was doing, not just to myself but to all those people who were with me. It was time to STOP and bring Lorreen Sample back. That is the point that I am at now. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with automating yourself when you have so many people coming in that it is hard to keep up, and it really works for most people. I am not one of those people. I need to be ME no matter how many people I am bringing in. They joined me expecting to get me, my personality, and get my time. They did not join just the business, they joined ME. So I am from now on going back to my normal way, Back To Basics if you like.

Follow me and you will see how I take my business and myself forward. You can not go back in time, so watch how I grow from here. You will see what I do, and what I learn. I am a student again. Life and the internet are trial and error. I have made my errors, so I take it as a learning experience and keep going. I am continuing my business with Online Business Alliance for that is “my baby“ I learned A LOT through it and continue to be a student, but at the same time I am in the process of moving forward to helping people in a way that will show them how to start and maintain a business but not lose yourself in the process, no matter what LIFE throws at you

Come with me on the journey!
