Sometimes fear can become so prominent in our mind that it prevents us from doing anything. It’s like the monster in the closet in “Monsters Inc”. Have you ever felt that way?
Did you know that there are no monsters in a direct sales business? Some Companies are better than others ( in my qualified opinion) Once you have done you research on the business that you are considering, don’t wait too long to start!
There is something called “paralysis by analysis” that happens when you spend too much time reviewing the same information. There comes a time when you need to TAKE ACTION!
My father was an entrepreneur and one of his favorite quotes was “Don’t just stand there, do something, even if it’s wrong!” What he meant by that is you will learn from the experience, even if it is a mistake. Courage is NOT the absence of fear, it is the ability to feel the fear, and do it anyway!
Here are a few things to consider before you take action:
- Do you have a good relationship with the person who will be responsable for training you? Do you trust him/her?
- Does the Company that you are considering have a good support system for you. What do they provide for you? (i.e. a web site, events, accessible staff to answer questions, product knowledge, etc.)
- Does the Company that you are considering have a buy back guarantee, eliminating a financial risk? ( mine does)
- Is there a consumable product with an already established demand for it as part of the marketing plan?
- Are you trainable? This sounds like an odd question, but through the years, I have found people that thought that they had a better way of doing things before they were willing to try the methods that were already getting good results.
There is never a perfect time to get started. That is like waiting for all of the traffic lights to turn green before you start into town. Once you have done your research on your business, give yourself 24 hours for what I call the “shower test”. That is, if you find yourself thinking about the business at unusual times like driving the car, cooking dinner, in the shower, etc,, that is your heart telling you that you need to give it a try. You will never know unless you try. I’d much rather be a “I’m glad that I did” kind of person instead of a “I wish that I had” person!
JUST DO IT!
