I need to say this because I spent way too long on the sidelines.

I am not someone who jumps easily.

I am not someone who trusts easily.

not anymore.

I built six figures in this industry and still left.

I got lied about.

I got burnt out.

I had a leader tell me I didn’t have time for myself.

I walked away from the whole thing and swore I was done.

so when this showed up I ignored it.

because I had heard it all before.

I had seen what it looked like behind the curtain.

and I wanted no part of it.

but something kept pulling me back.

so I looked.

really looked.

at the products.

at the company.

at the leadership.

at the compensation.

at the people who were actually winning.

and for the first time in a long time I didn’t feel skeptical.

I felt something I hadn’t felt in years.

certain.

I moved the same day.

the only difference between you and the women you’re watching build something real is that they stopped scrolling and started moving.

follow me for more and comment PARTNER below. that decision is waiting for you. 🤍

... Read moreStarting something new, especially in fields like network marketing, can be daunting when past experiences have left you skeptical or burned out. From my own journey, I can relate to the feeling of watching others build success online while you hesitate. The truth is, the difference is just a decision—deciding to stop scrolling and start moving. When I first encountered network marketing, I was wary. I had been lied to before, felt burnt out, and even had a leader tell me I couldn’t prioritize my time. It was easy to step back and think maybe this wasn’t for me. But what changed was a deeper look—at the products, the company’s leadership, the compensation, and especially at the people who were truly succeeding. This shift in perspective helped me feel certain rather than doubtful. One image that sticks with me is the phrase, “The woman building financial freedom online while you're scrolling is not smarter or more qualified than you. She just made a decision you haven’t made yet.” This really resonated. It reminded me that confidence and success come after taking action, not before it. For anyone hesitating on the sidelines, my advice is to carefully research and evaluate the opportunity—and most importantly, trust your gut. Look beyond the surface and don’t let past disappointments dictate your future. Building a side income or achieving financial freedom is possible when you believe in the products and leadership, and when you commit to your own growth and movement. Each small step forward is progress. Remember, success in network marketing isn’t about luck or exceptional qualifications; it’s about decision and action. When you decide to move, leverage your strengths and network authentically. Engage with others who are thriving and learn from their strategies. Stay mindful of burnout and set boundaries so you can maintain balance. This journey is as much about personal development as it is about financial gains. If you’re feeling stuck, share your thoughts and seek support from communities focused on women building, financial freedom, and social media marketing. Surrounding yourself with motivated individuals can inspire you to finally stop scrolling and start creating the future you want.

The image features rumpled grey bedding with the text "SEX how often is normal?" in white, asking about normal sex frequency. A Lemon8 logo with a username is in the bottom left corner.
This image displays statistics on average sex frequency: 53 times per year for couples, 80 for 20s-30s, 60 for 45-65, and 20 for 65+. The text is against a brown wall and white bedding.
The image states that couples having sex more than once a week didn't report increased happiness, but those with less than once a week reported decreased satisfaction. It emphasizes that partner happiness is most important.
Sex Frequency… how do you measure up?
sex is an important part of most long term relationships, but how often sex happens can vary from relationship to relationship. according to a 2017 study, on average individuals have sex 54 times per year or about once per week. this number increases to 80 times times per year if you look exclu
