A business partner sent me this today…. GOOD STUFF I just had to share…SO TRUE! Life is short, short and I want to live to my full capacity and not miss any of the BIG moments!
Now while I couldn’t agree more with this lady, I want to take it a step farther…might I add, Direct Sales is a vehicle to control your time somewhat, but we’re still trading time for money! Networking Marketing is THE best income stream EVER… Be sure to get with a company at the ground level, in front of momentum, with an exclusive product and GREAT comp plan of course. OH and don’t forget in front of a MASSIVE trend like Anti Aging, Wellness and Weightloss BUT KEY is an exclusive product. Network marketing is much more popular TODAY…so set yourself a part! Oh and if the company is DEBT FREE! That is even better.
Is Direct Sales Difficult?
Lately, I have heard so many people say how difficult direct sales is.
“It’s hard.” “I can’t get bookings.” “This just isn’t for me.” “I didn’t
know how difficult it would be.”
Well, I am a single mom of three who, before joining the direct sales
family, held down two jobs. I would get up at 4:00 in the morning and
not get to bed until midnight most nights, after returning from my
part-time retail job, packing lunches, checking homework and relieving
my mother, who helped out with the kids.
That, my friends, is difficult.
It is difficult always having to lower your dreams to meet your means.
It is difficult to miss all of your son’s football games because you have to
work. It is difficult knowing the rust bucket you call a car is eating
you alive in maintenance, but you can’t afford a new one. It is
difficult to realize that someone else is going to watch your daughter
take her first step or have your son say mama to the preschool teacher.
It is difficult knowing that you have spent 40 years of your life
working for someone else, only to realize that you will be retiring on
one-third of what you can live on today. Or, worse yet, it is difficult
knowing that you have diligently worked all your life, only to be given
an early retirement and replaced by someone younger, more capable.
I will tell you what is difficult. It is difficult waking up one morning
and realizing that your children, the most precious things imaginable,
no longer need bottles, diapers, have tea parties, or are shorter than
the baseball bat they are trying to swing. It is difficult realizing it
is too late and that the time frittered away can never be retrieved. It
slips through our fingers one second at a time.
It is also difficult watching the spark in your partner’s eyes fade
because both of you realize the house you have been wanting is just a
dream because someone else is controlling your finances.
We have nasty habits about rationalizing, procrastination and skirting
important things, rather than facing the issues. Too often we allow
others who do not pay our bills, who do not share our dreams, to direct
our futures.
As children we have absolutely no freedom; we rebel in our teens and
scream for freedom. We reach adulthood and are finally free, only to
relinquish that freedom because we think it is too difficult. We do not
want to take responsibility. We do not want to make a wrong decision, so
we obligingly give that awesome power to someone else. We wake up too
late. We hear ourselves uttering phrases like: “I wish I had only . .”
and “If I could do it over again.”
You have no one but yourself to blame. You had the chance. Perhaps the
opportunity was presented many times and each time you elevated the
trivial to a higher priority than yourself.
Let me ask you: Is direct sales really difficult?
Is it so traumatic to show someone an exciting product or idea? Is it so
difficult to understand that if you work this marketing idea for three
to five years, you just might finally be able to send your children to a
college chosen by excellence, rather than one chosen by price? That you
could finally put your family in the home of their dreams?
Would you work really hard for eight to ten years, so you could mold a
lifestyle of your choosing, so your family could live a lifestyle of
their dreams, rather than trying to live how someone else thinks you
should live?
How difficult is it to pick up the phone and call your hostess? How
difficult is it to pack up your kit and meet some new friends? How
difficult is it, really, to share what you love with others? Think about
it.
Realize the awesome power you have in your hands with direct sales.
There are people out there working three jobs. There are people drowning
in debt; or agonizing through bankruptcy, realizing they only needed a
couple hundred more dollars per month. That is difficult!
This business you have chosen has the ability to change lives. Direct
sales cannot do anything. But YOU can change lives with it. You are the
one with the life-changing ability. What are you waiting for?
There is difficulty and pain in success, and there is difficulty and
pain in failure. Difficulty and pain in success will last a short period
of time; but pain in failure lasts a lifetime. Which one is really more
difficult?
You will pay a price for your actions, and your choices.
Which choice will you make?
