If you’re new to network marketing and wondering whether you should quit your job or side hustle to start, the answer is simple: you don’t have to! Network marketing is designed to complement what you’re already doing in the beginning. Over time, you can decide whether to transition to it fully. It’s not about abandoning your current income source—it’s about creating an additional stream of income. Beyond just financial security for the present, it’s a pathway to building transgenerational wealth and achieving long-term financial freedom.
Why You Don’t Need to Quit Your Job or Hustle
1. Flexibility: Network marketing allows you to work at your own pace. You can fit it into your schedule without disrupting your regular job or side hustle.
2. Extra Income: It’s a way to earn more money without replacing what you already have. Think of it as a backup plan or a financial boost.
3. Reduced Risk: Keeping your current income while starting network marketing ensures you’re financially secure. There’s no pressure to succeed overnight.
But you might want to ask, since FHG training schedule requires you are physically available Monday to Friday in the office, how then can you maintain balance?
My answer to this is, First you need to identify the category of working class set of people you are;
A) People averagely satisfied with their current job but won't mind a better offer when they are been opened to one, yet have a very tight working schedule
B) People averagely satisfied with their current job, won't mind a better offer when they are been opened to one, and have a very flexible working time scheduled.
C) People who are not satisfied with the type of job they are doing, have a fixed time scheduled and won't mind a better offer.
D) People who are not satisfied with the type of job they are doing, have a flexible working time scheduled and won't mind a better offer.
After identifying the category you belong to , here is my best advice for you :
Fixed Schedule (8 AM to 6 PM) AND -
Averagely Satisfied: You can start FHG part-time during evenings or weekends to supplement your income.
Not Satisfied: If you're unhappy with your current job, you might consider transitioning to FHG full-time, provided it aligns with your financial goals.
Flexible Job AND-
Averagely Satisfied: FHG can be integrated into your existing schedule, allowing you to maintain both income streams.
Not Satisfied: If your current work isn't fulfilling, you might choose to shift your focus more towards FHG, gradually making it your primary source of income.
This approach allows you to tailor your involvement with FHG based on your current job satisfaction and work schedule, ensuring a smooth transition and optimal work-life balance.
Just in case your decision is to engage fully as a Full-time F.H.G member "Leaders will be Obligated to your success in the business but won't be accountable to your day-to-day survival."

How to Balance Your Job with Being an FHG Member

Your main job provides stability, while FHG offers a chance to grow an additional income. Clearly define how much time you can allocate to FHG without affecting your job performance.

Use your commute, lunch breaks, or downtime to engage in FHG activities like prospecting, following up, or learning. This way, FHG fits into your daily life seamlessly.
3. Set Achievable Goals
Break down your FHG targets into manageable tasks. For example, aim to contact three prospects daily or complete one training module each a week.
4. Dedicate Focused Time Slots
Choose specific hours (e.g., evenings or weekends) for FHG-related tasks. Stick to this schedule to ensure consistency without overwhelming yourself.
5. Communicate with Your Network
Let your team or mentors in FHG know about your schedule. They can provide guidance and help you optimize your efforts within your available time.
6. Track Your Progress
Keep a record of your FHG achievements and challenges. This will help you identify areas to improve while balancing both roles effectively.

Final Thoughts
The purpose of starting network marketing while keeping your current job isn’t to immediately replace your primary income source, which supports you now. Instead, it’s about building an additional income stream. Over time, as you establish yourself and gain stability in network marketing, you may choose to leave your job if it feels right.
In the future, network marketing could potentially outpace the earnings from your job. At that point, continuing your job might only be a matter of personal interest or passion. However, this shift doesn’t happen instantly—it takes time, dedication, and consistent effort to achieve.
So, if you’re debating whether to leave your job or business for network marketing, the answer is clear: You don’t need to leave, but your choice to keep your current job while been an F.G.H member relies on the satisfaction you derives in it.
Start small, stay consistent, and watch your efforts grow into something rewarding!
