What’s better than being your own boss, setting your own hours, determining your own salary and having an office wherever you happen to be?
It’s a Utopian idea that is reality for tens of thousands of people working independently in direct sales worldwide. But getting there isn’t easy. It takes grit to abandon the familiar grind and build a business — especially in direct sales.
