My name is Leah R Evans and I’m an Internet Network Marketing Entrepreneur.

I’m was born and raised in Pittsburgh PA. I’m the middle child of six siblings and a single parent of three children. They’re my rock and their names are Shane, he’s 24yrs old, Sha’la, she’s 20yrs old, and Semaj, my lil’ Entrepreneur in training who is 12. Shane has made me a new grand mother to a beautiful baby girl named Ania who came in with a bang on July 4, 2010! :)

Now that you’ve met my children I would like to share some of my life’s story.
I went to college for Business Management back in 1991. It was very difficult for me as I caught eight buses a day to get there. At the time I dragged two small children to school and daycare via the bus then I’d catch another bus to town so I could go to work and from work I’d catch another bus across town to take college classes. I lived in the projects and qualified for food stamps but I was determined to be a business women. I got burned out a year and a half in my journey so I took a break from school.

I decided to be a stay at home mom and raise my children until they got a little older.  After two years went by I began working temporary jobs in the Accounting and Business Banking fields where I gained a lot of knowledge and experience. Eventually I was hired by a finance department of a major hospital in 1997.

During my whole experience there was an Entrepreneur inside just waiting for the moment to breakthrough. The work force could not contain me anymore.  The hospital’s finance department went bankrupt and was bought out by the parent company which was in Philadelphia PA. I was offered a job in Philly but that wasn’t apart of my plans. I was pregnant with my 3rd child who was born in July of 1998 and I so badly wanted to stay home and be apart of his formative years.  I remain working at the hospital on the transition team after Semaj was born waiting for the right moment to step into my calling.

The parent company paid me a hefty sign-on bonus to help them get their new multi-million dollar accounts transferred and the old hospital gave me a severance package because I decided to leave them. My focus was on my dream at the time so when the takeover was complete I left the hospital with enough money to start the daycare that I’d dreamed of.  I was a Full Time Mom and the CEO and Founder of a Non-Profit Organization for underprivileged kids in a socio-economic area.

For a moment things where turning around for me.  I bought a new home and got my kids up out of the projects. I opened up the doors of my daycare to the community in 1999. I facilitated and orchestrated a Non Traditional Center for eight years until my son was nine years old.

The economy began to shift for me in 2007.  Some parents within my daycare began loosing their jobs and moving away from their homes.  I never worked so hard in my life to keep my head above the water as everything I worked so hard for was coming to an end. Unfortunately, back in Dec 2007, I had to close the doors because I couldn’t afford operations anymore. I was struggling to pay my mortgage and the rest of my bills. I was also at the gas pump making life’s decisions… buy gas or buy food, pay bills or buy gas.  It was insane things got so crazy and I thought that I was gonna lose my frigging mind.  All I really have is my FAITH IN GOD and my VISION.  Once I realized that… a paradigm shift occurred.

While going through I felt so much pressure I was grabbing at straws and plunging through my savings faster than it took for me to save it. I was absolutely desperate for a break in life. One day while at the post office I ran into one of my previous daycare parents. He greeted me with a business card and asked me if I ever heard of the company. I told him I actually had their service but the rep never talked to me about the Network Marketing opportunity.

I joined him and did everything that he coached me to do.  I bought all kinds of magazines and videos, made a list of family and friends, went to hotel meetings, had private business meetings, camped out at shopping malls, approached perfect strangers in grocery store lines and gas stations, bugged my neighbors and repelled every human that came in my path. To be frank I STUNK at recruiting.

I met a lot of people, spent nearly the last of my savings and only had 3 people join me in my business. I was frustrated and burned out. I made some money but not enough to live off of.

I sought God for understanding because I knew Network Marketing models have set hundreds of thousands of people free and the traditional way of networking has worked fine for many people but it didn’t work for me.  Instead of attracting people I was repelling them. It wasn’t until Feb 4, 2008 the dynamics of Network Marketing began to shift for me.

As I turned to the internet to find a system with leverage to maximize my exposure the negative forces that surround us all one way or another bombarded me with life’s issues. My burdens were so heavy I lost discipline and focus on what I was learning online. I needed to make something happen right away I was now three months behind on my mortgage and truck note. I went out pounding the pavements to find a corporate job that would pay me enough to get caught up quickly on my obligations. Now I’m an employee again and this seriously doesn’t agree with my Entrepreneurial spirit.  So I did my due diligence and sought out MENTORS to educate me on how to grow a successful business online as every successful person has a mentor. I retained everything I learned and literally absorbed it like a sponge.  I’ve been EMPOWERED BY FAITH and equipped with knowledge and understanding.

Next, I met a hard working man who actually understands my journey. John and I have become business partners and best friends. We actually compliment one another very well as we push each other to the next level. Together we created the Inet Entrepreneurs Network and as Network Marketing Entrepreneurs with new found knowledge and understanding we’re mentoring people online and sharing valuable information with them that will ultimately explode their Business.

Despite of life’s issues please don’t give up on your dreams…  stay focused, find your niche and stick to it like crazy glue. Success is closer than you think. It’s when you’re almost there the forces attack you. The only objectives negativity has is to kill, steal, and destroy your dreams.  Stay on your path to greatness and you will receive divine connections along the way to help you because there is strength in numbers. You see… we’re to live by FAITH and not by SIGHT. If Faith is things HOPED for and the evidence of things not seen why do 97% of people get caught up on what they see and end up settling for mediocrity? Hopefully I can stir your Faith as you KEEP MOVING FORWARD with focused discipline positive energy toward your vision and you will make it to your destination. You know what your vision looks like as you’ll see it when you get there.  If my story resonates within your spirit and you’re ready to go after your dreams lets connect A.S.A.P.
