You are Welcome, Business Partner!

Mary Gumisiriza is my name and I am happy to have this opportunity to share with you how I came into the GNLD business and what has made me successful in it. I am an advisor on investments and finance and am in the business of helping people achieve financial freedom as well as starting businesses. 

Why did I join GNLD
Sixteen years ago, someone, a friend of my sister came to my office in the Bank where I was working and introduced to me wonderful products from USA and South Africa. He showed me the product brochure and gave a brief about  some of the products. I was attracted by a product called Super 10, a multipurpose cleaner. When he said it can help remove stains, I bought it to help clean my bath tub that had stains and other products on the market had failed to remove these stains. The product worked well and I started using it to clean my tiles, walls, cooker, fridge, car and car engine and other things. It is biodegradable with no toxins and therefore environment friendly. Whenever it got finished, I would order for another one from him. So I was his CUSTOMER.  In this business, the more customers you have, the better. I believe you have a lot of people around you whom you know, who would like good quality products to make their cleaning activities easier. These people include your friends, relatives, neighbours, office colleagues, and others. 

Then one day, a colleague of mine in the office called Sarah saw me with the product. She asked me how I got it. I told her a friend of mine sells it to me. She responded by saying, “ this product is from a company called GNLD International based in USA. When you become a member you will buy your product at a discount, you can sell to your friends and earn a profit and you will earn a bonus at the end of every month when you share the opportunity with others. “

Use the Product
I actually joined because I wanted to buy products at a lower price.  When I got my Business Kit, I read more about the products and discovered that I needed Aloe Vera Plus for my ulcers and stress. I needed the skin care products for my skin, Vita squares, Vita guard and Nutrishake for the children and Omega3, Garlic Allium complex and Formula Iv for my husband who had high blood pressure. For home care I added on LDC and G1 Laundry to wash my clothes. I started enjoying the whole range of GNLD products and the family was happy with their unique performance. I started to look younger because of the good skin and health care products. I was not comfortable sharing the opportunity because I was shy and not trained in people skills.

Training
Then one day, I was invited for training at a nice hotel in Kampala. I loved the training on the business, the products and in particular the personal growth topics. Topics to do with attitude, talking to people, having goals and dreams, etc. I did more trainings and in the process I started changing as a person. I became more confident and more open to listening to other people’s challenges.

Sharing the Product
By listening to others, I was able to suggest solutions to people’s challenges. If someone had Children who lacked appetite, I would find it easy to recommend Vita Squares because it had worked for my children and my people relationship skills had improved. For a good car wash I would sell Wash and Wax, etc. On following up with my customers, I would be excited to hear about the positive testimonies about the products and that made me like the business more.
 
Sharing the Opportunity
As time went on, people started asking me about how the opportunity worked. I shared with them explaining how the business worked and how one could make money out of it. Some registered and became members for the sake of buying their products at a discount like I did, while others stayed as customers.

Financial Freedom
More and more people joined the network and I started receiving bonus cheques based on the marketing plan of the company. The cheques start small and keep growing as the network grows. I was able to retire early from formal employment in 2004 and I now do this business full time. The income received monthly covers my monthly expenses and I invest the surplus mainly in real estate businesses.

Travel Benefits
Courtesy of this business, I have travelled to various places in Uganda and many destinations around the world fulfilling one of my big dreams of having a holiday abroad every year.  I have been to Pretoria SA 1999, Johannesburg SA 2006, Nairobi 2007, London 2008, San Francisco USA 2009, Durban 2009, Nairobi 2010, Cape Town 2011, Victoria Falls Zambia 2012. In 2013 I will be going to Dubai for the GNLD World Team Conference.

Spending More time with Family
I do this business with my family which brings us closer as we spend more time together. We travel together and the company caters for both husband and wife. I work with my daughter and son in the business and they all earn their bonuses independently.

Business Skills
This business equips one with free business skills that can be applied to any other business. I have learnt to persevere, to be patient, to  stay focused, delayed gratification, teamwork, good relationships, time management, personal budgeting and saving, planning, writing my goals and dreams, etc. My relationships with my team, my family members, new people has greatly improved.

This is a lifetime business where you are assured of earning some income on a daily basis as long as you do the four basics. The more you do the basics, the more money you make. My retirement is now assured with a comfortable lifestyle for the rest of my life. I welcome you to be my business partner in this enjoyable journey.

Good Business

When people decide to start a business on their own, they always look for the following:-

  • One where you can start and learn at your own pace;
  • One where there are no financial pressures due to huge start-up costs, high stockholding & debtors/creditors problems;
  • One that is not limited to a specific location but can be operated anywhere in the world;
  • One that is not time consuming but that you can start on a part time basis and can ease into it;
  • One with little administrative costs;
  • One that keeps your full intellect and emotional energies challenged;
  • One where you can earn international currencies;
  • One that gives you time to be more with your family;
  • One where there are opportunities to travel and change of lifestyle; and
  • One where there is recognition and fun.

When you subtract out the sleeping time, travel time, working time and things you have to do daily in your life, most people don’t have more than one to two hours a day to do what they would like to do; and then, would they have the money to do it?


I discovered a way a person can be their own boss by building a home based business using a simple system that doesn't require selling, and the best part is, it won’t take much of your time.  The system is called Network Marketing or Multilevel Marketing and it is a wonderful opportunity that anyone can start part time or full time. One needs about 2hrs a day to work on it and can achieve financial freedom within 3 to 5 years. The more time you allocate to the business, the faster you grow. I started the business in 2006 and today in 2012 most of my  short and medium term dreams are achieved including having a holiday every year in 5 star facilities and resorts all over the world. Wouldn't you love annual holidays?

Operating a Business

Its exciting and tough to run businesses when you are used to working for someone else. You have to first work on your attitude and learn to work out solutions quickly as soon as challenges arise. If you keep crying and nagging about a challenge you will backslide in your work and no one is going to help you put food on the table. You are on your own!

Among the things one has to do to run a business successfully is to get organized. Plan on having the business registered so that you can open its own account. Money for business does not mix with your own money!! Make sure that you deposit all the money from the business on the account and manage it from there.

Words

The words we speak into our lives can either bless or curse us. All that is good has its source in God. When a person speaks positively, God reinforces the words such that they bring blessings. On the other hand, if a person speaks negatively, Satan, who is usually behind negative proclamations, comes in to reinforce those words and they become curses.

Complacency

There are many people who settle short of what God has in store for them.I hope you are not in this category. In case you are, the time has come to move on.God would love to do greater things to you and through you. God is not limited by anything. As long as you have breathe in you, you can do greater things in your life. You were created for excellence. Do not sell yourself short.

From Curses to Blessings by Rose Kifa

I am currently reading this book and will be posting information from it as it touches my life. Am on page 18 and I find it very educative on what blessings and curses are. I expect my thinking to change for the better after reading the book!
