Success in 10 steps – How has such impacted own life as a person.

Before reading success in ten steps by Michael Dlouhy in 2010 I was searching for ways to build better stronger relationships with others. For years I was hanging around the wrong type of people who were less family orientated that was personally. However it took may years to even realise just how family orientated I was.

I also had a tone of dreams however they were smashed from listening to people who really had not achieved what was seeking personally. For years I had sought to be that best husband and father which could be, I’d been working on being such. Working on overcoming own upbringing to become that father and parent who was able to do anything with his own family. I was in network marketing and failing as really wasn’t able to create the relationships needed. A lot of the people who said were interested in the opportunity were the wrong type of people.

I was following the methods taught which was really to push sell, rather than what really needed was to pull sell. I was trained to buy leads, to put out flyers and talk to everyone. As was told just get it in front of everyone and they will buy. I was trained to sell people on the products and opportunity had.

I would go out there and do as was trained to do, to just do the flyers, talk to those leads that came in and do the best. However the frustrating part was that it was barely making any money at all sometimes, it was costing more than was making. I’d had such a fantastic result losing 45 kilos and going on to improve own health. However I was around those people who were unwilling to make any major changes to their own health. They were lets say content with dealing with their own life as it was.

When I found success in 10 steps in 2010 I started to work on myself as a person more, I’d been a student of personal development since starting in network marketing again. Yet I still struggled creating those relationships needed, a lot of the people who met were false friends, they were not true friends. That they would walk away when it got rough, after starting to work on myself with success in 10 steps and personal development I met a number of wonderful people.

Some who have become the best friends who could ask for, others it is taking time to build the relationships with. I had been on a few dates, out with a few people however was unable to really relate to where a person was coming from. Also that person was unable to relate to where I was coming from, so their was no real bond formed between us that we’d have very little in common. So eventually the friendship and relationship did fall apart.

After reading success in 10 steps I realised that the reason was around was because I was meant to care for own family. They were the people who meant the most to me, I’d show them as best as was able to do yet there was no mutual bond at all. This took a bit of personal development to realise that there really was no bond at all.

I had gone on to find a couple of amazing friends who shared experiences with as a person to be able to relate to what they were going through at that point. I built some truly wonderful friendships with some of the most wonderful people people who really could relate to as a person who became true best friends who could rely upon.

I’d like to thank Michael Dlouhy, Ken Kelmm, Willena Flewelling and the other wonderful mentors at mentoring for free for their love insperation and guidence and wonderful support. You are all amazing.

Ben with sponsor Mervyn in Late 2007

Ben in 2001
Before starting network marketing I had a long history of health conditions which I would let limit own life and lifestyle. These included being a former epileptic, asthmatic, a curved lower back, lax muscles and muscular skeletal issues. These affected own life as a person, I also had very few stable relationships within own life. I was also overweight.
I also came from a family who didn’t take care of their own health. My mum became a diabetic in later years, Dad had a number of health issues himself. My grandmother had a variety of health issues along with own grandfather.
So as you can see that as a child and teenager it was demonstrated to my siblings and myself about a non healthy lifestyle. Heck there was little physical activity at all, we’d sit around most weekends and do nothing much at all. There was no sports on the weekends after I gave up tennis at a young age. After leaving primary school I began to gain weight due to lack of physical exercise regularly and own health declined.
As I entered high school so came the poor choices which followed from own family’s influence. Yet I was unaware of anything different, that was all I knew. Boy was I so wrong…. It got to a point later in life where I’d go out and buy a 1.25 litre coke and it would be gone within a day. Chocolate was something that would be quickly gone and same with lollies, leave them infront of me for too long and their gone. There was also learned destructive habits from own family.

In 2003 I found network marketing through Herbalife and went on to have success with their products. Losing weight however the change to own lifestyle was a struggle to maintain. As I had failed to learn the correct foods to eat, the rite things to eat and the diet was unmaintained owing to influences with poor diet. I resumed the diet of fast food and coke. Also working shift work for a call centre.
In September 2006 I suffered from my 3^rd dislocation of my left knee cap this was my 4^th dislocation of a knee cap (3 on the left and 1 on the right). I went back to the gym to start rebuilding my muscles, build up strength again, to lose weight and improve cardiac function also. When I would work full time work I would find it a struggle to maintain both the gym and work, so I would let the gym work outs slip. Which then lead to the health decline again!!!!
Working in network marketing allowed me the flexibility to be able to manage own health and take care of such, yet to also earn a income from home whist helping others do the same. A number of years after returning to the gym one of my acquaintances said that when first went back to the gym for the 3^rd time I had the movement of an old man. After the 4^th dislocation I had been very stiff in the knee and movement, it took work walking up and down stairs. I was working with an exercise phyisoligist to get health back and a dietion to change own diet yet was gradually losing weight of approximately 250 grams a week.
In 2007 I found an ad for Herbalife whist looking for a income that was able to do as a person knowing that I had to juggle both health and a income. I saw the ad whist applying for jobs and said to myself should I be meant to be doing such then that is what I will do. I filled in my contact details and began the journey in Oct 2007. Over the next 14 months I went on to lose 35 kilos and to go from a double to triple xl to a small/medium and to be able to keep that going. Whist I was also working on own personal health as well.
The proudest day was the day that someone brought me home a winter singlet which was a small, being unsure weather it was going to fit. I put it on and it was a wonderful fit, that was a wonderful day.
However there was a piece of own life that was still missing and that had been seeking for many years. That was the closeness of a relationship a best friend who cared enough about me as a person. A true friend who offered that love, unconditionall acceptance about who I was as a person.
I had yet to learn that own friends were bad influences and knew nothing of positive influences before even joining network marketing it was a strange concept to me. All I knew was own families influence and there was nothing else within own life. A lot of such was a damaging influence. They are unaware of such themselves.
During that 14 months I managed to improve own health gradually so that was able to move more feely and health gradually improved. Where I had struggled with such in the past that would lose and gain weight owing to shift work, poor diet, poor eating habits and drinking a lot of soft drink. Also when worked full time own health went out the door as was unable to focus on such it was too much personally. After losing the inital 35 kilos I went on to retain mobility to lose a further 10 kilos and the best thing is I have not had a dislocated knee cap since September 2006. I built up the leg muscles that they are stronger than they were in the past.

Jenny and Ben in New Zealand April 2013
In 2010 I downloaded a eBook success in 10 steps by my wonderful friend and mentor Michael Dlouhy who assisted me to be able to build that amazing relationship with a number of people and to be able to overcome own fears as a person. Through Michael Dlouhy’s loving gudience love support encouragement and friendship along with the wonderful mentors from mentoring for free I was able to work on myself allowing me to become that person that had always dreamed of as a person.
That was a wonderful loving father, partner and husband to my own family. In September 2012 I met the most amazing woman who was so beautiful and she became the love of own life. Her name was Jenny, in April 2013 I got introduced to Jenny’s parents in New Zealand my first trip to New Zealand. From there we went on to be the longest relationships either of us had ever had to getting engaged in June 2013 and moving in together in June 2013. As I prepare to walk this road of the family there is so much that I’d love to thank others for, its been such a journey. From my wonderful mentors and friends especially Michael Dlouhy, Ken Klemm, Willena Flewelling, Brian Redding, David Haines, Marsha Sortino and so many others for your wonderful inpersation, guidance and love. Without network marketing I would of given up a long time ago of ever having that health or that family. To my wonderful exercise physiologist DR Mike C, to my Dietion Diane M thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Abundant health, love and hugs
Ben
