Flørli 4444 is a wooden staircase of 4,444 steps above the Lysefjord in Norway. My wife and I climbed the entire staircase and returned via the mountain trails. Here is how it went, how long it took us and what is useful to know before you go.

I write about FitLine, health and energy, working online and building a partner business with PM-International. I share my own experience in network marketing: how I started, what a partner actually does and what the work looks like in practice. I also write about family, personal decisions, growth and life in Norway.
After registering as a partner, one very simple question comes up quickly: what do I actually do next? In May 2026, I went through a 30-day launch inside Y.O.U.R. Community myself. Now that I have several months of practical experience, I can break that first month down into real work: products, contacts, conversations, customers, social media, learning and the first partner.
I can honestly say that I like FitLine. But if that were enough, I could simply remain a customer. Once I decided to work with PM-International as a partner, I started looking at different questions: what happens after a purchase, how repeat orders work, how commissions are created, what a new partner gets after registration and what I still have to do myself.
I have three children. As they get older, I think more often about what I can actually give them as a father. Not materially, and not as a set of correct answers for every situation. There are things I would rather show them by the way I live.
We have lived in Norway for more than two and a half years, and I have noticed one simple thing: I think "it was different in Ukraine" much less often now. Not because I have got used to absolutely everything or decided that one country is better than the other. I have simply become used to many everyday things and stopped comparing them with Ukraine every time.
If you already work in network marketing and have started looking at other companies, there is probably a reason. Before switching, I would compare the product, repeat orders, countries, yearly costs, training, online work, the compensation plan and what I would have to rebuild.
Most of the companies we worked with were on monthly service agreements. That teaches you very quickly what working with customers really means. One good sale was not enough. Month after month, we had to answer calls, solve technical problems, keep our promises and make it easy for the customer to continue working with us.
