Friends and Family don’t Support your Business? They don’t have to! Here’s why.

I just had a RANDOM THOUGHT and I had to share it with you …

It’s ok! You’re friends and family have the right to spend “their money” where they want to spend it (and it may not be with you). Of course you share your business with them, but if they are not interested, then oh well. It’s no big deal. It’s their choice. Think about it….If we allow their actions to dictate our livelihood, we would not even be doing this. Our business would never thrive!

When starting out in Direct Sales/ Starting your own business, you will quickly learn that not all your current family and friends (warm market) will be supportive (purchase from you, join your team, etc.)  And just know this….It’s perfectly fine.

I know… In the beginning it may get frustrated and can make you feel uninspired at times. But you will learn quickly that getting upset/ negative will get you nowhere. It will not help you or your your business. In fact, it will bring you down!

Sooooo I’m here to tell you (and tell myself) THEY DON’T HAVE TO SUPPORT YOU! Your family and friends are not entitled to support you. Yes it’s an amazing feeling to have their support , but it’s not a requirement of your success! I have been truly blessed with supportive family & friends, but that doesn’t mean that ever single family member/ friend is that way.

THE TRUTH IS….

#1 They may not like the company
#2 They may not like the products
#3 They may just not be supportive
#4 Whatever there reason is, doesn’t even really matter

MESSAGE:

Share your business with your friends and family, with positive vibes, a open heart and a positive attitude. Strongly believe that they will support you! Because you can absolutely manifest that it happens. There are lots of people in your circle that will support you, but you must share your excitement and have an open mind. Don’t be so closed minded that you forget that there is other people out there.

Well Nia how am I supposed to find other people besides my friends and family!?

* Continue to make new friends daily (in-person and online)
* Build up your network (THIS IS “NETWORK” MARKETING)
* Surround yourself with others who have similar interests
* You will start to attract people who love your beauty business, products and will want to be apart of the opportunity
* STAY POSITIVE and remember there are 318.9 million people in the USA!

DON’T HAVE A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT IT!
THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIKE/LOVE WHAT THEY WANT TO! AS A BUSINESS OWNER YOU HAVE TO GROW YOUR NETWORK ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS. IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY!
