I was greeted by a horrendously loud cracking/breaking sound as the undercarriage of the aircraft hit the ice covered tarmac of SheremetyevoAirport, Moscow; it was winter and cold!  After settling in my wife (Alexandra), little step daughter Liliaand I went around to see the parts of Moscow I had not seen before.We then sorted out our room allocating a part for our work area.

I phoned VladislavMesherekov, the Managing Director for FLP, Russia and we went to meet with him at the place where the office was going to be.  Only the outer perimeter partition was marked out in the massive hall which would be the FLP office.

Vlad was a good enough fellow but knew nothing of network marketing.  He spoke English as he had lived for some years in the States.

What were we to do?  There were no products. No office.

That night I began to think what options we had.  We could wait till the office was complete and the products arrived but that would take months and I wanted to start now.  There was no time to sit around; I had burnt my boats.

I decided that we would start our business regardless of all the odds and short comings we had.  How I was not sure, but start we would and succeed!

After Alex had made her first attempt of making a list of all her contacts we went out jogging in the snow.
