taniawilliams1Broke, Scared and Struggling Single Mom from Cape Town builds Multiple Sources of Income  and finds Joy and Peace of Mind Doing the Thing She loves- Inspiring others.

My name is Tania Williams and I come from Cape Town, South Africa. That’s right at the tip of Africa- where the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean meet.

From my deck I can literally see the point where the two oceans meet.

I believe in family, the simple pleasures in life- like enjoying a stress free afternoon with my son and puppy on the beach.

I believe everyone has a right to live their lives without worrying where their next paycheck is coming from of how to pay their children’s school fees or mortgage.

Everyone deserves to work in an environment that celebrates their unique talents.

“Dear Tania

From the very first minutes your voice, your approach, your clarity, professionalism and vivacious energy made me realize that I have finally found the coach I have been looking for in a long-long time.

The way you convey information is absolutely clear and succinct. Your astute listening and dialogue qualities made me feel that you could see my mind. To me, this indicates the highest level of leadership. You understood my worries and needs, and addressed them with both compassion and a wealth of actual practical information. By doing so, you were able to help me see the ‘wood’ AND the individual trees IN RELATION. This has made a HUGE difference for me.

For this alone I shall recommend you to everyone I know.

With deep gratitude,

Hagitte Gal-Ed”

Doing their “life’s opus”- what they were meant to do in this universe to contribute to their fellow man’s wellbeing. To be in your “Dharma” as the Buddah says. To truly be who you are and not do the tasks that a boss or company tells you that you should be doing.

To have the peace of mind that multiple sources of income bring you- so if you lose your job or your spouse’s business goes under, you know you’ll be ok.

And most importantly To find the JOY of discovering what you were born to do.

“I love helping people on their life’s journey to finding that unique talent and showing it to the world- and then marketing it in a way that earns them good income. “

I believe you really need to LOVE your work to add a true happiness to what you spend so many hours doing. Finding meaning in your life’s work is a passion of mine and it’s my purpose to help others do so.

And when you do, the money follows automatically.

That’s why I call myself “anima personified”.

Anima is a Jungian term meaning “to animate”- to bring life to- to push more life into. To inspire. To be animated means to feel your blood running, your excitement building, your love flowing, your joy, your purpose your passion.

To never wonder what you should do today at work. To get into an effortless flow of creative work.

I believe Passion counts.

Before I got involved with Network Marketing I was a broke, newly divorced single mommy of a little boy- struggling financially, emotionally and practically. I had just left my alchoholic husband.

And I left my life’s work.

I was the National coach for the South African Gymnastic Team and together with my husband, we had built up the SA Gymnastic Team to be the best it had ever been in the International Arena.

We were a coaching team of note. I traveled all over the world, went to Youth Olympics, International Grand Prix, Commonwealth Games and World Championships in China.

I always loved the training and coaching- and specially the art of inspiring the gymnasts to get through their high training loads and thrive under competition pressure.  To help them achieve incredible things with their talented bodies- and to help their minds allow them to do that.

After my husband and I split, it was too painful working with him.  So I gave it all up and started my own business in recreational gymnastics.

But little Did I Know, I was going to lose everything…

In one fell swoop I lost my husband, father of my son, coaching partner, life’s work, status (National coach), income, home and I didn’t know who I was.

I know how it feels to lose everything.

I remember a moment standing at the shop, buying a rubbish bin for my rented apartment- I didn’t even have a bin to throw my rubbish in.

I didn’t even have a bed to sleep on (I slept on a camping mattress).

I literally started from scratch.

Bruised, I started Gym Wizards.

I taught gymnastics at my son’s school (during PE) to pay his school fees.

I built the business up until I was teaching 40 hrs a week of lessons.

I stuggled.

It was bad.

I’s often find myself cleaning floors at schools to be able to teach a lesson- with little or no equipment: only my resourcefulness and what I could give the children from my being.

The Gym Wizards era was a time of deep self reflection. Questions of meaning, purpose, relationships, work, children, love- all of these I grappled with. It was a 10 year sabbatical in the desert. I built the business up and employed staff and eventually a manager.

Things got better and I was no longer desperately struggling for survival.

When I got involved with Network Marketing, I saw it as a way to self actualize.

To once again, train and inspire people to reach their highest potential beings. This time it was in the arena of business.

I found that I love marketing. But there didn’t seem to be any training on marketing in the network marketing business!!!

But what makes me absolutely see RED is when network marketing companies and leaders sell a dream without giving people to proper tools and information and expectations to achieve it. “Just talk to everybody and tell your friends about the product” is so far removed from what it really takes to succeed in this industry- and it leads to false expectations and high failure rate- not to mention tons of people losing money and getting hurt.

Pitching people and reciting the opportunity over and over is what is taught and it makes me sick to my stomach at the thought of chasing people down.

Hounding them with tapes and one on one meetings. Being guilty if you don’t recruit the poor waiter at the restaurant.

Prospecting for months and being told “just keep going and talk to more people and the money will come”.

I know, because that’s what I did when I started.

I felt very low class doing this and being rejected. Not to mention the money I lost driving around to people’s houses giving them demo’s of the product and showing “the plan”. Only to be told “I’ll think about it”.

I built up a complex about myself because I was rejected so many times. I had to FORCE myself to keep phoning people- until I couldn’t do it any more.

Living the dream life and Sipping from a coconut after a year or two’s work is simply not going to happen for 97% of us….

I quickly realized that Network marketing is a real business.

It takes skill and self image to succeed.

You have to be persistent and follow through and commit to consistency.

Even when life gets in the way.

The interesting thing is, once you can do this, you actually are the leader people want to follow. You have been there and done that.

It’s like the butterfly that has struggled long enough to emerge out of the cocoon- with wings strong enough to fly.

Overcoming hurdles IS the necessary work that need to be done. Qualities of not giving up, faith, continual learning and strength become a part of your makeup- an aspect of being.

In this state, things start to change.

I am not into selling widgets to make quick money.

Yes, I have learned marketing and sales- and as Robert Kiyosaki says

“those are the most important skills you can learn here on Earth school”.

And I fully embrace that. That’s what I teach.

I now have my own house, another passive income investment, my gym business virtually on autopilot (staff taking care of the every day stuff), time and a stress free living lifestyle, my son is at a private school – and I can go and watch him play soccer and fetch him from school every day.

And my downline is growing, giving me additional sources of income.

Its not a dream life(yet). I am not a millionaire(yet).

But I have my sanity and passion for work back.

I can take a day and spend it at the beach with my son and puppy and know all is well.

Every day I have a choice about how I am going to spend my time.

I go to belly dancing classes if I want to. I take my family out for dinner without worrying about the bills.

That, for me is priceless.

Belly Dancing- My Favourite Hobby!

Before this, I was a broke, scared single mommy fighting for survival. Mopping floors at gyms to teach kids forward rolls. I slept on the floor.

Now I am committed to teaching network marketers the real deal about marketing and self development and inspiring them to have a worry free existence.

You deserve to be at home with your kids, leave the job that traps you, earn additional income to relieve stress, develop into a leader to train others, be with people who love and celebrate working with you, have financial freedom and a lifestyle of beauty, grace and authenticity that constantly broadens your horizons.

You deserve these things. You deserve a stress free life. Your family deserves them too. There’s no reason why you shouldn’t have these things. And no matter how low you are, you too can have them.

Just don’t be fooled into thinking it happens overnight and without studying what it takes to become a marketer and leader.

Here’s the bottom line……….

Everything you’ve been told about MLM- the potential for a lifestyle of freedom- it’s true.

But in times like these you have to stop following the average broke Networkers. Take the time to learn the real marketing and mindset skills it takes to keep you from going under and ending up like 97% do- in the MLM Casulty Room.

What’s surprising, is THAT ITS NOT THAT HARD TO SUCCEED.

YOU JUST NEED to get the right skills in place AND TO FOLLOW THROUGH!

Why would you work with me?

Because I have been online with my MLM since 2007 and have struggled to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.

I have now figured out the shortest route to creating your own system that gets leads, sales and sign ups into your MLM.

I’ve stopped the madness of building other people’s lists and paying them good hard earned money to use their generic lead systems.

I’ve embraced the essential learning curve, learned about niche marketing, how to convert into sales, how to technically navigate around the internet.

And I want to show you how you too can do it- in a fraction of the time it took me and without the pain of doing it alone.

  • Dear Tania,

    Thank you so much for your story. It's such a real expression of what it is really like.

    I'm also a single mom. I have 2 kids and when my marriage broke up, I also lost a huge part of my life. I had been active in the homeschooling community and when my marriage fell apart, the homeschooling community ditched me. Suddenly I was without husband, without friends, with growing debt and the extra burdens of having to make a living after being out of the workforce for years. Yes, often divorce means starting completely over.

    I love your story because you are so real and so honest about what it takes. It isn't easy but it is possible. You give hope to single moms out there that they can make it. You are completely right when you say that what it's all about is taking belly dancing classes when you want to--it's about pursuing that which helps you thrive--the things which bring you joy and which help you bring joy to the world.

    Thank you for your story.

    Julia Rymut
