Women Can Do Anything

A young teenage girl in Moscow runs barefoot through the snow on a freezing Russian winter night. She runs for her life, away from her abusive father.  She keeps running until her feet go numb with frostbite. She's not afraid to endure the pain. She's running toward her life of freedom. Her name is Janna Sosensky.

Years later, Janna arrived in Canada alone without a word of English on her tongue. Her degree in Russian journalism had no power or meaning in this workplace. How would she survive? How would she earn a living? Many educated immigrants who came before her traded their time for pennies in menial jobs, the only work they could find. Janna? No way. This is the woman who braved the Moscow winter in her bare feet. The flame of ambition burned in her. Ambition, desire, and a dream.

She played against the odds and started a traditional business in a posh section of oh-so-English Toronto. Janna opened a hair salon in Yorkville. Determined to win, she took courses in her chosen field and had to translate all of her study material. She became a master hair stylist in demand working on as many as thirty clients a day. She was making money, but at what price? Her business enslaved her.

Janna loves to cook, and people love to eat her gourmet meals. She developed her culinary skill in Russia. An orphan who couldn't feed herself would die. What began as a life or death game, became a powerful WHY for Janna. She developed a passionate desire to  nourish the world. That desire gave birth to another venture. She lovingly made, packaged, and sold gourmet crepes to more than twenty-three food stores in Toronto. A major food chain approached her with an offer for her delicacy. Once again, she was high on the hog but starving for freedom. She felt trapped in the joint of another lucrative business. Her time belonged to the man. Her body was wearing down.

The exotic lure of Costa Rica offered Janna an escape. She moved there and invested in real estate. She tackled this new challenge with entrepreneurial courage, talent, and determination. Any gambler knows you can't win 'em all. She played like a warrior but went down for the count. Janna returned to Canada broke and homeless. Like Jerry "DRhino" Clark says, broke is a temporary condition; poor is a state of mind. Janna could handle broke; poor was never an option. She lived on friends couches and traded her time for money, cooking for the wealthy and cleaning their homes.

Janna has the heart and spirit of a champion. She also has a human body that doesn't respond well to intense stress. Her valiant fight was exhausting her.

Then, one day, the call came. It was from an estranged friend. She hadn't spoken to this woman in years and didn't really want to now. What happens next is a lesson for all the tough guys reading this. You know who you are - all you captains, lieutenants, and empire builders. Some guy you don't like rings you up. Whaddaya do? You don't take his call. Or, you tell him to shove it.

But women have intuition. It's stronger than emotions and the mind. Janna followed her intuition and spoke to this not-a-friend-anymore. The woman is all excited about a business opportunity she found that has something to do with health. I can just hear some a guy's response, "Yeah. Come right over. I've got the Brooklyn Bridge wrapped with a bow for you."

Janna listens to her heart and talks to the woman. She keeps an open mind and likes what she hears. She's in. Network Marketing finds Janna Sosensky. The product improves Janna's health. The comp plan doesn't fatten her wallet. But the MLM business model stokes her flame! It's what she's been looking for all her life. It's the key to her fortune and freedom. Janna doesn't have to "see it to believe it." She understands the power of believing before you see. Her belief attracts the right company into her life. (Is this too woo-woo for some of you? Stop reading and get a JOB.)

The new company's products supercharge her body. She feels stronger, healthier, and younger. The comp plan blows her mind. She sets a goal, plays full out, and soars quickly to a six-figure income.

Remember, Janna made six figures before. But she sacrificed her health and freedom to do it. Not this time! Oh no! No start-up debt. No overhead. No rent. No inventory. No employee hassles. Just products that work, people who care, and a big greenback payoff. You know. The kinda score that 9 to 5 lifers call "too good to be true."

Janna jumped off the hamster wheel of traditional employment. She broke out of the JOB joint. And she ain't never going back! She gave up making a living. Now she's creating a life!

She honored me with a sit-down the other day. She shared her secret to success in Network Marketing. It's simple - if you have the guts. Here it is. She never asks people to join her business. She never chases the "ideal" prospect. She never chases anybody. Janna sets high standards. Then she interviews people to see if they meet those standards. She turns a lot of them down.

Some of you are nodding your head, "Yes." But do you really get this concept? Do you apply it when building your business? Or do you become a tongue wagging puppy when somebody shows a slight interest in your opportunity? Do you get triggered into "I hope they join me" mode? A mobster analogy should set you straight on this point. If you haven't seen "The Godfather" 1 & 2, you're out of luck here. Sorry. But here's the shot. Who would you want on your crew, Michael or Freddo? If you answered Freddo, you'll get whacked fast.

Janna is populating her crew with stand-up women like her. These are the key qualities she looks for in a new team member:
             * Willingness to change
             * Willingness to learn
             * Willingness to serve

Janna is blazing her path to millionaire status in her present company. She's having a ball on the ride. She's taking her team with her. But here's the thing worth repeating. Slackers ain't welcome. She doesn't open the book for wannabes. You gotta make your bones to run with her.

I asked her what her long-term vision is. She answered without missing a beat. She wants to play at 100%. She wants to feel fully engaged and excited at any age. She wants to and will live a life without compromise. A life of choice. That's lifestyle! That's freedom!
