Who am I??



YOUR FRIEND IN KENTUCKY, Laura Lucas




I provided a short introduction when I began this blog. As I return my attention to this blog after hiatus, I feel the need to give you more detail.



I am a woman, firstborn, Professional Network Marketer, friend, Virgo, student, mentor, Occupational Therapist, daughter, sister, teacher, coach, creator, and cook to mention the highlights who lives in Kentucky, USA.



My first career is in Occupational Therapy. I help people return to the meaningful activities of their daily life after injury or illness, focusing on what they want and need to "do" to function at their best. Sometimes this means showing people a new or different way to get things done. So largely my job centers on "teaching" and "coaching." However, in my health care profession I generally only get to work with people after a problem presents itself.



So HOW does this relate to NetWork Marketing?



For a number of years I watched someone close to my heart FAIL repeatedly and lose thousands of dollars in what he referred to as "network marketing opportunities."



At that time, I could see that several of these "opportunities" didn't make sense. However, I lacked the knowledge to understand HOW or WHY they wouldn't work. At that time, I was unable to help that person pursue what was most meaningful to them.



I actually came to DESPISE the term NetWork Marketing.



THEN, I got educated!!



I was introduced to a team of people willing to educate others for *FREE, in any company.
I came to understand the difference between a legitimate multi-level marketing business and an illegal pyramid scheme. Things began to make sense. I could now see WHY the concept of leveraging effort and residual income appealed to so many. And even more so, HOW it could help me reach my personal and financial goals.



My second career, as a Professional Network Marketer, continues to let me interact and help people; but now, I can be more proactive—I can reach out to people, help them identify and pursue their dreams, not wait for injury or illness to bring them across my path.
In conjunction with building my home-business, I chose to share with others the education and support I was so freely given. I am now apart of the team of Volunteer Mentors, with Mentoring For Free, who teach others "How to think, not what to think" and the skills to build the business of your choice using a proven system.



I want to be YOUR FRIEND IN KENTUCKY.



I want to be YOUR FRIEND IN MLM.



I urge you to invest your time in getting educated before you ever invest your money. YOU are your greatest assesst, which is exactly why Gavin encourages to BRAND yourself.




I would also like to THANK Gavin Munford at this time for spotlighting my profile on his site.
