Former Gym and Health Food Store Owner Learns a Startup Lesson

Building a Home Business and Doing It Are Two Different Things

My Lead CompanyRobert Herr was a gym and health food store owner when he was presented with an opportunity in network marketing. Running his business and training people in the gym everyday left him little time to start another project.

Robert got involved with his current company because he liked the products, but he wasn’t interested in building it as business. That all changed six months later when he was persuaded to go to a meeting and saw the bigger picture. “I saw average people at that meeting who were making good money but more importantly had more time to do the things that they wanted to do,” Robert notes.

Robert made a decision that night to work his business. He realized that wanting to build a business and actually doing it were two different things. Robert enlisted the aid of a client of his who had a marketing background and had also built a successful network marketing business. What was later created was a Straightline Downline Compensation System with My Lead Company.

Robert’s biggest challenge was finding people who were actually looking for an opportunity. He knew he needed more than just family and friends. According to Robert, “The system became a marketing tool that helped him to reach out to other people that were actually looking for an opportunity, and it eliminated the need to chase those that were not.”

Robert says that the Straightline System helped him save valuable time in recruiting. Through magazine and Internet ads, Robert’s business has grown. His customers include people who are frustrated with traditional methods of recruiting and are looking for new ways to attract people to their businesses.

Robert sold his health food store and gym after deciding to build his business from home full-time. For him, the less hectic pace was a welcome change from working 6 and 7 days a week and never having any time to do the things that he wanted to do. Robert now gets to spend more time with family and friends. In the future, Robert plans to continue to expand his business by helping people expand their businesses.
