My first Plexus paycheck came as a surprise. I had been using Plexus and selling Plexus for several weeks. To be honest, I had told a couple people at church, my sister and a couple of friends. And had a few orders. But I didnt make any money from their orders. I wasnt worried about it. I figured, its probably one of those deals you cant make any money at. One day, I called Customer Service to ask a question and the CS rep asked my why I didnt have my AQ on. I didnt even know what that meant. She just said, turn it on, so youll get paid. I turned it on…and a few days pass and I get my first check. Yes, I had missed my first handful of checks because I didnt turn it on. :( Heres the thing----- I can say with my whole heart, Id talk about Plexus if I didnt get paid. THATs how good the products are! Once I started getting paid, I was sort of blown away. I wasnt twisting a single arm. I wasnt hosting meetings. Or having parties. Or stocking product. Or delivering product. I hadnt harassed a single person (still havent). I hadnt made a single phone call regarding it. I was only putting it out there for the world to read about (IF they chose)---- Now, when I have a meeting-- its to train folks on everything that our products will do. Less than six months after I posted my first Plexus post, I got a monthly paycheck with two numbers before the comma . My eyes bulged out of my head. I had no clue what I was doing. I only LOVED, LOVED LOVED the products. I loved breathing through my nose. I loved that my sadness had lifted. I loved that I felt like a girl again---not just someones mom. I loved what was transpiring in my marriage…because I felt like a girl again! And, if youve been on this journey with me since day one, you may remember that I didnt talk about the income from it. Ever! I dont know what was the biggest reason---perhaps it was that I thought they were making a mistake on my check. Or that I didnt want to mistake my passion about the products with a passion for making the income. I was almost----embarrassed that it paid so well. I was still working my photography business. This was just going to be a hobby or sideline. I didnt want people to think I was making up the number. I was super secretive about it. I felt like it was wrong in some way to tell people, OH MY GOSHHHHHH! THE DOUGH! ITS ROLLING IN! One day, I mentioned it privately to a friend and she looked at me wide-eyed, as she detected my embarrassment and said, what in the world is wrong with you? You DO realize that finances are almost as big of a burden for folks as health problems, right? And it was like the Holy Spirit lit right on my shoulder and said, Lori, THIS is soooo much more than you can wrap your mind around! And I started crying. No more sadness--- My marriage, blooming more and more everyday--- Home with my kids--- Jeddie is too--- My friends and family well--- A chance at freedom that I can offer to literally any person with ears to hear--- Someone once mentioned when I posted a picture of a diamond tennis bracelet that the company gave me that that only made it seem like our products costs too much. I understood that mentality. I might have felt the same way a few years ago, especially if I had no clue what the products do for people. AND, if I didnt realize how much money I spent regularly on absolute JUNK like soda pop (because I was in denial about that right there). I actually spend LESS on Plexus than I was spending on soda pop. Yeah, now THATs something embarrassing. I was also spending $5 at a time, trying to purchase little moments of happiness for myself in Dollar General form, because I was so incredibly sad so much of the time. p.s., everything you buy is paying for a diamond tennis bracelet for SOMEone. Its just not typically the sales rep that gets it….its the owners wife. I was BORN with a gift of words. I had to LEARN how to tell it like it is Theres not a company out there even remotely close to Plexus. Other comp plans dont hold a candle--- Admittedly, three years ago, I didnt understand comp plans. Now, I can read one. Jeddie can read one and explain it back to you rather eloquently. And theres nothing like it. Im not embarrassed anymore. I will talk about it with anyone. If someone thinks Im bragging, thats a risk Im willing to take to offer one more person a chance to understand the freedom that Plexus can offer them. If someone who knows my income tries to price gouge me because they think I can afford to pay more,---again, a risk Ill take. Im still a thrift shop queen. I still live in the same house, and hung on to my 1998 Dodge Conversion van, literally, til the day Plexus paid for my Lexus---I dont have to fret as much when Christmas comes around. And I have time freedom, to sit and type a long-winded post like this one, in hopes that I can reach one more person. I have residual income now. And my buddy, Chris, who I wont tag, because he gets relentlessly tagged, Im sure---he shared yesterday, a story about taking his dog for a walk and falling into a manhole---and was stuck there for a month, surviving on rainwater and insects---and when he finally got home, his monthly paycheck was even MORE than the month before. He told that story, in his humorous way, to illustrate residual income. Yeah! It actually works like that. Thats why theres a term coined the four-year career. Todays payday…and when you see Plexus people celebrating, let this post serve as a reminder….not to let it get on your nerves. Its honest excitement. Its hard to believe that a company pays this well…. And Im not embarrassed to be out of debt. Joining Plexus is $35 a year. And theres no pressure to perform----ask anyone Ive sponsored if Ive EVER, EVER, EVER pressured them to do a SINGLE thing! Theres no quotas---no inventory. Yeah----this is that time---when too good to be true---is actually true!
