In September 2016 
Dave and I were attending a LIVE YOUR BLISS WORKSHOP with Richard Bliss Brooke who authored the books “Four Year Career” and ‘Mach2 with Your Hair on Fire’, two best selling books in the network marketing industry.
We were talking with Richard about the industry of network marketing and how there is a HUGE market with thousands of people who are “IN BETWEEN” mlm companies. In other words, they believe in the industry, have left their former mlm company and are looking…or are still hanging in there with their current company but one foot is out the door looking for something more suitable for their goals. In Between.
We agreed it is a huge market!
Richard mentioned the phrase MLM Tweeners and we laughed and realized that it really is a huge group of people….our kind of people. (We actually purchased the domain, www.mlmTweeners.com)
Entrepreneurial people who joined the industry for the ‘reason’ of creating residual income, perhaps even generational wealth, or maybe it was to earn a little extra income for an enhanced lifestyle for them and their families. Or perhaps they joined the industry for the time freedom that the industry can provide.
WE WERE ‘MLM TWEENERS’ not long ago!
In fact, prior to finding our current company, TAVALA, we had been with another company for ten years and based on the direction of our company and our paycheck, knew we needed to make a change.
Financially we were drowning! What was once financially great was dwindling ….and dwindling fast. We couldn’t recruit fast enough to equal the people leaving our company and team and we were at a place where we also had lost faith or trust in the direction and leadership of the company.
Although we weren’t actively searching for another opportunity, one FOUND US, and with some soul searching and a lot of honest conversation with the owners and corporate staff, we decided we would resign from our current companies (yes, leaving checks behind!) and delve 100% in with TAVALA. 
I believe in order to attain AND sustain the financial goals that Dave and I have we knew we NEEDED to be 100% in, not dabbling, not part-time, and certainly not working two opportunities at the same time.
We’ve never seen that work and the one time we did ‘straddle two companies’ (One working with Richard Bliss Brooke July-Dec. 2016) and the other our former company, Jan. 2006-Dec. 2016) it felt almost fraudulent and we also had to be sensitive when marketing as not to ‘offend’ either company by mentioning the other products or services. It certainly wasn’t a comfortable place to be professionally or as a leader with a team.
Are you an MLM TWEENER?
Last night I Googled the term MLM TWEENER and there was no such ‘term’ however “TWEENER” IS a word: “a person or thing considered to be between two other recognized categories or types. or, “Price considered him a tweener, too small for a lineman and too big for a linebacker”.
Oxford Dictionaries says a tweener is:
Are you an MLM Tweener or have you ever been? Are you currently looking for a new company to join and create the lifestyle and income you desire and deserve? We’ve had many great conversations with people across the globe on this very topic. So, if you are there or have been, just know you are among thousands who are and have been MLM Tweeners.
Care to step OUT of the “MLM Tweener” status? We’d love to chat. Perhaps what we have found with Tavala will be something that will resonate with you. We are looking for leaders and have a great spot for you on our fast growing team. (100% Confidential conversations)

Tweeners
Being an MLM Tweeners is not a bad thing…. unless you simply stay there!
We found a home after 10 years with another company. It took awhile, and things had to get real bad before we were ready. So, we understand.
We believe you come across an idea, person, circumstance when your time is right. And because you’ve found us, we believe the time for you to learn more and likely move forward is NOW.
Trusting in the creator who has brought you to this moment!
