When you have a home business in Direct Sales, one of the biggest challenges that you have to deal with is motivation. In this Direct Sales Blog I want to cover how to be your own boss and still manage to get the job done without someone looking over your shoulder.
1. Have a clear and concise goal and share it with others. There is no such thing as a “secret goal”. The first time that I made a decision to attain Court of Sales in my business I started by announcing it to my unit. I had a consultant who set that goal and the year was half over and she was way off track. I picked up her goal and decided to run with it.
2. Find someone who will hold you accountable, not listen to your excuses. As women, we always have drama in our life. If you make a decision to allow those dramas to stop you, failure is lurking around the corner. There is always a way to work around any obstacle.
3. Be clear on your “why”. I have never seen a goal with a reason behind it not become a reality. The year that my youngest son started school, I made a decision to move into leadership in my company. My reason was simple- I wanted to be a WAHM. I wanted to be there when they got home from school, attend field trips with them, and spend summers at the pool with my children. A home business allowed me to do that.
4. Set a deadline for your goals. A goal without a deadline is just a dream. Even the most audacious goal must have an end time. The worst that can happen is that you need to extend the deadline. But be clear on when you want the goal to happen.
5. Use your experiences, both good and bad to train others. I give myself permission to make mistakes along the way, and document it. The year that I was first runner up in personal sales, it was not my goal. It was a result of massive effort and documentation for one of my consultants who had that goal. Every action was scripted, recorded and shared with her. Whenever you have the ability to take others to places that they have never been before as a result of your efforts, it motivates you to give more.
The challenges of a home business can easily be overcome with a network of support. Make sure that you surround yourself with positive people who understand the entrepreneurial lifestyle. In today’s economy, there is more control over your results than any job out there! So what is holding you back?
