As I have got older, I have become much more careful about first impressions. People can learn to speak well, carry themselves confidently and make a strong impression. Trust comes later for me, when I see how someone treats others, keeps agreements and talks about people who are not in the room.

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.
I often hear that school teaches us a lot of subjects but does not really prepare us for adult life. I partly understand that. School did not teach me how to build a business, raise children or start again in another country. But the older I get, the more clearly I see that school did give me a lot of important things. We just did not call them life skills back then.
I have been thinking about quitting smoking for a long time. Not for a week or a month. I just kept finding reasons to put it off. At some point, I got tired of hearing those reasons from myself.
When you have children, it is very easy to expect too much from yourself. Stay calm. Be patient. Always know what to say. Never lose your temper. Never get it wrong. The longer I am a father, the less I believe in that kind of parent. I think much more about something else now: what a child feels next to us, especially when the day has not gone well.
I want this business to generate income. But for me, it is not only about money. I have understood the basic idea of network marketing for a long time. What is different now is that I am actually trying to build it consistently and learning skills I had hardly used in practice before.
The hardest decisions for me are not the ones with two clear options. The difficult ones are when I do not know what will happen next but still have to decide. Over time, I stopped waiting for complete clarity and started looking at those situations differently.
After moving, I started looking at stability differently. Before, it was easy to connect it with work, income, a familiar city and knowing how everything around you works. When the country changes, part of that has to be rebuilt. That is when you see more clearly that a family is safer when it has more than one thing to rely on.
