This is My Story

Growing up in America we are always taught to work on a dream that is usually not our own. We are taught as children to pursue the “American Dream.” What is the American Dream? Is it to get married, have children, and have a good paying job? Is it wealth and no happiness? When pursuing the American Dream we must remember that not everyone’s path will be the same. No person in this country will go down a path that is exactly the same simply because of the different opportunities and environments of each person. I grew up in a middle class home where my mother was a teacher. My mother made sure I finished school in the top 10% of my class and I had several scholarships to different colleges. One would think that I was building on my “American Dream.” Well life called and told me that it had different plans for me. I had a daughter at 18 and ended up staying in Memphis to attend the University of Memphis. Eight years, three jobs, several prayers and tears later I was still working on my Bachelors Degree and wondering where my “American Dream” was hidden. I know you’ve been where I was. You’re living paycheck to paycheck. You get a raise at your job and a new bill all at once. You’re left asking how can I take my children here or there on the money I’m making? You wake up everyday going through your shoulda, coulda, wouldas, just wishing you could go back in time to make a few changes to your life. Let me tell you something, going back in time and changing one small piece of your life could alter one big piece of your life today. It’s not worth the risk. You should not focus on the past, instead, you should focus on changing your future. Work on your now! How can you work on your now? Ask yourself one question for me, WHY (what’s hurting you?) do you want to change your financial future? Do you want to increase your income? Would you like to travel more? Or are you like me and you’re just tired of living someone else’s dream and would like to focus on your own? Well if you can answer yes to any of those questions then I can help. Last month I was going through my usual routine of questioning the whole “American Dream” idea and was presented with an opportunity to make some extra money. At first, I was hesitant. I came up with every excuse in the book to turn this opportunity down. Then I wrote down my WHY. I looked at my WHY over and over and determined that my WHY meant more to me than any other thing in this world. I was intrigued at the thought of owning my own business with little start up money. I was excited to learn that I could be my own boss. I never would have thought I’d have a business in the VoIP telecom business in the direct sales industry. I wake up everyday to help others that are stuck, just like I was, change their lives. I am helping families create residual incomes that their children will one day live off of. I am helping Pastors retain their members, grow their congregation, and build revenue for their ministries. Small business owners have the opportunity to stay connected with their customers through my company. They also have the opportunity to save money and help in the fight against Breast Cancer the merchant processing services through my company as well. Through 5Linx I am able to truly say that I am impacting and changing lives. My “American Dream” is finally starting to become a reality. This can be you!
