This is well worth reading. I applaud Mr. El-Erian for making the decision, and perhaps helping many other parents at least pause and reflect on what type of life they are designing. One of the benefits of Network Marketing is when you build your business properly, you can have *both* a great income as well as the free time to live life fully with family, friends... and to pursue your life passions. Mr El-Erian, who made $100 million 2011 alone, said in a recent essay for Worth that his wife and daughter were at the heart of his decision to quit. The 56-year-old said the wake-up call happened when he was arguing with his daughter about brushing her teeth and she left to fetch a piece of paper from her room. It was a list that she had compiled of her important events and activities that I had missed due to work commitments, he wrote. The list contained 22 items, from her first day at school and first soccer match of the season to a parent-teacher meeting and a Halloween parade. I felt awful and got defensive: I had a good excuse for each missed event! Travel, important meetings, an urgent phone call, sudden to-do. But it dawned on me that I was missing an infinitely more important point ... I was not making nearly enough time for her. Mr El-Erian used to leave home for work at 4.30am each morning but since resigning he and his lawyer wife Jamie take turns in waking up their daughter, preparing her breakfast and bringing her to school.
