Hello there and welcome to my page. My name is Malika Duke and I want your money!! Yes, that's right, I want your money and I've been, and will continue,working hard to earn it too.
Here's why...
I am a serial entrepreneur. I've accepted that for better or worse, it's in my blood to *ahemm* "stunt like my daddy". I've learned to master the ONLY skill you'll ever need to create an abundant life for your self. But Before I tell you what it is, I'll bore you with my personal story.
At the time of this writing I am siting in my home office thinking about all the things I would like to share with you and wondering what YOU are looking for that brought you to my page. Since you're here, and noting happens by coincidence, I'd like to share my story that involves love, sex and rock-n-roll.
Lets see... Do you wan the long version or the short version?? Well lets start with a little back ground and then we'll speed it up a bit, sound fair? Great!
Birth place: Georgetown, Guyana (South America, if you fell a sleep in geography class). So in case you hear an "accent in my writing, you're notified. Left there when I was 5 for Brooklyn, New York (The concrete Jungle for those who've never been). After 6 years we were off to Miami, FL ("hundred thousand dollar cars, everybody got 'em", Will Smith was right!).
Miami is a special place for me and here's why...
I Did the college thing there and quickly found out that college is a scam for the entrepreneurial minded! Married My high school sweetheart, Adam Dyer and birth all 3 of this beautiful babies (thee HIS when they are misbehaving ;-))
In college I majored in biology until I got a C (booo) then changed and got my BBA in business law because I wanted all the things I saw the lawyers had on T.V. You know, The life style, prestige, money...love 'em or hate 'em, we all need 'em!
Right before I graduated I birth my wonderful baby girl and my life was transformed... I decided NOT to go to law school because suddenly I could imagine putting her in day care especially since I decided to nurse her naturally (yeah breast feeding rocks!) and she had all types of problems with formula, and pumping was... impractical on most jobs and especially as a bartender which I was at the time. The good news is I got to store it on ice :-P
Any way, I decided to revive a MLM business I joined because my mother had been hounding me about. I loved the company and the concept of residual income ( like being a lawyer without all the dreaded research) but, I hated HOW I had to the business.
As I bounced from one boring, underpaying, part time, dead end job to the next; receptionist, bartender again, subway sandwich "artist", loan processor... I always had dreams and desires that could only be fulfilled by business ownership. But I wanted to have a business I really owned, not that owned me like most brick and mortar stores.
So, After answering an ad in the Miami New Times for a personal assistant, I found myself (a mom of now three) an adult film star recruiter! Ha, thats right folks I scouted girls and couples who wanted to have SEX in all different terms and on camera for CASH money.
It was simple, fun and profitable. I would get invited to more parties than I could attend so would send my friends who were VERY grateful I became (after having kids) a major home body. But it wasn't residual which is what I really wanted. That lasted until I moved to Texas August of 2006.
Why did it end...well it was a "hands on business" meaning I had to physically show up to make sure everyone, including me, got paid unless I had a trusted driver, which I didn't at the time. Plus, I didn't have anyone to show me how to make it work, like a business mentor, so I gave up on it. Besides it was weird showing up to the elementary school with all the minivan moms with "FUNXXXJOB.COM" in 6 inch teal colored letters on the back of my car!
All I had left as options was a) get another dead end, boring, under paying, part time job (anything but that...) b) start another business from scratch or c) dust off my MLM hat and do what I needed to do to make it finally happen.
I chose a combination of a) and c) which turned out horrible as I sucked a both...Remember my tile..."unemployable" I can't stand the idea of WILLINGLY having another person controlling my time, or having my time tied to my $$$$. I tried to recruit the employee minded folks at work and had to quit when the boss told me I had to pick one or the other.
I just didn't get it... "If I could recruit for porn, whats up with this network marketing thing?"
Then it hit me: I was being sought out by girls and couple who wanted what I had as an agent. I had relationships with production companies and producers who paid well, and in full in a safe environment. I had a website, a mailing list and established myself as a resource and expert in the industry.
In my Networking business I was chasing people, who didn't know who I was, what I was about and were NOT looking for what I had to offer. There was no mutual trust and I came across as needy by simply being the hunter instead of the hunted. I know their broke asses were thinking, "If it was all that why you trying to recruit me?"
Let's not even talk about buying leads! I am one of the only people in the history of network marketing that has NEVER bought leads.
If you've ever bought leads or approached random strangers while pretending to shop, if they weren't broke, they were still thinking, "Great company, but I hate the recruiting process it took to get me here... I don't want to harass my friends, family nor cold call."
And they were so right! I had to take the Real Networking and Marketing skills I learned already and give myself permission to apply it to my network marketing business. Something you'll NEVER get from the rah rah pep rallies most companies consider training.
It only took me 9 years of floundering around on and off to figure that out. Now that I have...This is getting longer than I thought so If you want to learn more about me just stalk me here or any other the other 2 dozen social networks I'm on or just "Google Me Baby!!"
Oh, I almost forgot, I have a website where you can learn more about me, what I do and how I can help you and YOUR BUSINESS regardless of your industry, company or past experience.
Attract the best,
Malika Duke
