Another lesson that became very evident to me in my recent travels to Australia is that each and every single living creature (including people) is totally unique. We had an opportunity to visit the Great Barrier Reef and do some snorkeling. Not only was the coral so very beautiful, but it took many years for each one to develop yet no two were alike.
We are also in a constant state of learning and developing like that coral. Our lifetime is much shorter than the coral, so we need to make the most of each and every day. Did you know what is the biggest obstacle that I encounter when I talk to women about starting a business like mine? Most women think that they need to BECOME ME or build a business just like mine. Think about that. Since everyone has different skills, talents, abilities, and backgrounds that determine what they need to learn in business, each person is starting from a different place. In addition to that, everyone has different needs that a home business in direct sales can fulfill.
For example, I started my business over 23 years ago because I wanted the ability to work around my family’s schedule, yet still contribute to the household income. Many other women without a family enjoy the same flexibility to allow them to work another job that they either still enjoy, or cannot afford to leave until they get their business off the ground. It’s my job as a Sales Director to help you determine what your individual needs are and show you how your business can fulfill those needs.
I have women that have been a part of my unit for decades. The reason that they started their business may be totally different from why they stayed. Honestly, I have never seen two businesses that are completely alike. Some women prefer to work evenings and weekends, while others never have a desire to work those hours. Since there is no quota, you are free to determine where and when you work. I choose to do about 80% of my business in my home. I have a Beauty Boutique and Education Center right on my property. Other women choose to have another location and go to other people’s homes or offices to do business.
The point that I am trying to make today is for you not to prejudge. Don’t compare yourself to anyone else when making a decision to start or grow your direct sales business. I am still enjoying the freedom and flexibility to put my family first, even though my children are now grown. I have 3 grandchildren living all over the world. It’s such a joy to still have the ability to be present for anything important in their lives, and just build relationships with them, creating memories along the way.
I am so thankful for everything that my business has provided for me all of these years! Perhaps it can add value to your life too, but remember, you have your own course to chart. You are the captain of your own ship and it may look very different from mine. Your destination may also be different from mine, but I would love the opportunity to talk to you about how I can help you by sharing my own personal experiences.
