A Brief Introduction
I have been successful in network marketing since 1987. People have described me as an entrepreneur, author, radio talk show host, business and life coach. I have coached tens-of-thousands of people on personal development, image, building confidence, finding Joy, earning more and creating ones desired lifestyle.
There are many things people don't know about me and some things people think they know about me based on what others have written in tabloid-type websites. I've created this website to share The Truth About Sheri Sharman as a business person and as a fellow human being.

The Start of My Career In Network Marketing
Overcoming Fears and Obstacles
When I started my career in network marketing I had no business experience, no training and a terrible fear of public speaking.
The first time in my new career that I had to speak in public I was so nervous I wrapped my arms around a pillar back stage and refused to move. Someone had to pry my arms apart and literally push me on to the stage. The audience was only a small group of people but they terrified me.
I was to give a speech with the theme "if I can make it in this business...so can you". With sweating palms and a palpitating heart I talked about how I went from making $11,000 a year as a preschool teacher to making $250,000 my first year in network marketing.
I eventually overcame my fear of public speaking, which had been my very worst fear, and turned it into my career. Amazingly, I can now speak comfortably in front of thousands of people. My goal is always to inspire at least one person to create a better life for themselves. If I can do that, then it is definitely worth getting up on stage.
Working Hard To Help Others Get What They Wanted
...Also Brought Me What I Wanted
I mentioned that I made $250,000 my first year in network marketing. But don't get me wrong, I worked hard, very hard. My first two years I sometimes worked 18 hour days, 7 days a week. I developed a very simple way to build rapport and a system for helping others. I kept refining my system until I could teach it to others and they could duplicate it.
I've come a long way and I learned that by staying very focused on helping my team mates get what they wanted, I was able to get what I wanted.
Giving It All Up...And Starting Over Again
One of the things I wanted was my "dream home". I left my dream home in 1997 when I chose to walk away from a 7 figure a year income because of integrity issues with the company I represented.
I had to start all over again. After finding a company with integrity and a great product, I was able to build my income back up and I'm now the top female income earner in my company.
I feel blessed to live in a beautiful 5000 square foot Mediterranean-style home that sits on a hill with lush landscaping and a view of the ocean. I have the pleasure of having my mom, Imo Sharman, work with me. She is 74 years young, making a 6 figure yearly income and truly enjoying her golden years!
I've been able to travel all over the world and share wonderful trips with my son, my mother and friends. I took my son to see the statue of liberty instead of him just reading about it in school. I was able to celebrate his 16th birthday with him while on a surfing safari in Bali.
These trips and my lifestyle are all possible because of the time freedom and financial freedom I have gained through network marketing.
Always remember, as I do, that if you can build your business once...you can do it again!
A Belated Thank You To Sheri Sharman
...Comes Via Email After 13 Years
"Sheri - I know you don't have a clue who I am, but you have impacted me in huge ways that you'll never even know, and I just wanted to say thank you. Your face keeps coming to mind, and I have been thinking about you for about 2 months now. Then, a guy I work with in my current business mentioned your name this past weekend, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back...lol. I realized that I needed to find you, email you, and tell you what an inspiration you are, and how much you have impacted my success in life. I was so happy to find your website and that you are still around to thank.
I was in Equinox back in 1994, and I know alot of people have unhappy memories of that time, but I don't. I learned so much that has shaped and influenced who I am today and how I think. Equinox was one of the greatest blessings of my life. It opened mental doors for me that I was unable to open myself.
Just know that you have blessed my life, and countless others' lives, even if some of us forget to say it until 13 years later. :-)
Have a wonderful day!"
