Leslie Hocker’s journey into Network Marketing began with a career in the oil and gas industry. As one of the first women to earn a specialized petroleum degree, she worked her way to an executive position. Despite her success, she found herself working long hours, leaving little time for family, travel, or personal fulfilment. Realizing she needed a change, she explored business ownership but quickly learned that traditional business models came with their own challenges.
Her first venture, a Pilates studio in Houston, introduced her to entrepreneurship but required significant effort to educate people on a new fitness concept. Around the same time, a neighbour introduced her to Network Marketing. She was drawn to the model’s simplicity—sharing products she loved while building relationships. Working part-time while maintaining her corporate career, she learned the importance of timing, simple systems, and strong leadership in achieving success. Eventually, her part-time Network Marketing business became her full-time career, giving her the freedom she had always wanted.
