My name is Lawren. I am a software developer and entrepreneur.

I grew up in Long Beach California. After graduating from high school, I attended University of California, Berkeley. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics.

After graduating college, I did what most young college graduates do, I got a job. Since I had a lot of knowledge and experien ...ce in computers, I got a job as a programmer.

During my career, I worked my way up from junior programmer, senior programmer and eventually, lead developer. All the while, I noticed that, although I was making more money, I was just about living at my job.

There were brief moments when I could spend some time doing things I enjoyed doing. During these sparse moments, I enjoyed playing with my two cats, playing my guitars, going to the movies or even just renting movies to watch at home. I purposely live a pretty quiet life due to the demands of my job.

After experiencing a successful career for a number of years, then came the onset of down-sizings, which lead my discovery of the network marketing industy.

Like many network marketers, I too struggled with my network marketing business.

For the past 5 years, I have been working on developing a successful home business. I was taught by my mentors to put out fliers on cars, do product parties, pass out business cards, recruit from my warm market, and more.

There are better ways to build a network marketing business. The problem with my approach was that the above mentioned marketing methods did not work and only lead to more frustrations.

In recent months, I have learned that there is a better way to building a network marketing business.

You see, people are naturally attracted to other successful people. Once I learned this, I have begun to rethink my mission. I realize that my customers want to know, what is "in it" for them.

Since changing my focus, my mission, I have begun to see positive changes in my business. This is because one's dreams are automatically accomplished when your mission is about helping others. It is all about increasing your value in society.

Your prospects are going to want to know "what's in it for me?" The better you can tell them, the happier and more loyal your customers will be.

We all have two choices. We can choose to make a living or we can choose to design a life.
