Tough Love with Love..

To begin…if you start to feel like I’m talking directly to you, I probably am.

Please know that this is intended to help you grow your business, whatever that business may be.

I want every single mom to be successful, if that’s what they want…that is my focus and my heart’s desire.

Part of success is having the right mindset.

I get A LOT of messages from people who feel discouraged or frustrated about not getting people to join their business or seeing their team slow down or fall apart.

 “Excuses are the #1 cause for failure…if you’re surrounded by people full of excuses, that is a full reflection of yourself.” ~ Dani Johnson

Here are some of the most frequent excuses I hear, and my candid response to them:

“I have talked to some people and nobody wants to get started yet, oh well fingers crossed, it’s obviously not Gods timing yet “

NO ~ First of all talking about this to just a handful of people you think MIGHT be interested will not get you far.

Who are you to prejudge whether they want/need this product/opportunity.

I have heard many people say that NOBODY knew how badly they were struggling.

Imagine if their sponsor had decided not to share this opportunity with them.

AND If you are not getting the results, figure out what you could say differently.

What you aren’t saying that you could.

“It’s not Gods timing yet.”

Negative Ghost Rider.

Do not blame Gods plan if you are not doing everything that YOU can do to grow to to grow your business.

And I’m not talking about sporadic Facebook posts and an occasional email or phone call.

Oh things are  just CRAZY BUSY right now, I don’t have the time.”

NO ~ MAKE the time!

Stop making excuses.

I had four kids aged 6 and under home with me ALL day EVERY day and promoted Diamond through Triple Diamond.

I could EASILY have said I didn’t have time, it was MADNESS.

I CHOSE to make it happen and CHOSE not to make excuses.

“Nobody has any money.”

~ REALLY?

Well then I guess the mall should shut down, the spas and salons should close and the plastic surgeons doing lipo and tummy tucks or med spas doing laser fat removal for SURE should close their doors since nobody has money to spend.

“I work SO HARD and cannot get anyone to be in my business.”

~ If people are telling you no it’s because of how you are presenting it.

Figure out what you could say differently and why you aren’t getting the results you want.

If others are getting business and you are not, why do you think that is?

What is the variable factor in that equation?

Have you spent time learning what successful people are doing, have you invested time in developing your skills, have you got yourself to every local training and every corporate event possible?

Or did you just expect to come into this business and be successful without learning how?

“No one on my team is working”

~ Are YOU working?

How many people did YOU bring into the business last month?

Does your team see you post on FB or hear from you or see YOU LIKE or COMMENT on posts on the team page?

What do you want your team to do?

Email/message/text post for prospects, work and add to their list of fifty?

Do online trainings?

Develop themselves?

Blitz daily?

Get to corporate events?

HONESTLY are you doing those things?

If you are quiet and absent and have your feet up GUESS WHAT, that’s what your team is going to do too!!!

You CANNOT just bring a few people into business and then sit back and wait for THEM to make the magic happen!

There are NO shortcuts to the top!

“I want to quit, someone I know signed up under someone else!!”

~ Why was that?

Did you tell that person about this venture? …I’d guess not.

You probably didn’t post much on FB or talk about it with her incase you sounded pushy or annoyed her right?

NEWSFLASH if you don’t share your opportunity with EVERYONE that you know, then somebody else who IS working their business WILL!

Again get over yourself and realize that your opportunity is what people WANT and NEED and don’t yet know it yet.

It is not about YOU.

If you don’t have the confidence to share, it’s because you don’t believe in it and don’t see it as a blessing that you are sharing, you see it as a way for you to make a buck and THAT makes you uncomfortable.

Figure out how to get past that or you WILL fail.

How do you build your belief?

Get the courage to talk to a couple of people whose lives have changed because of it.
It may help you realize it does happen and can happen for you and those you bring in the business.

“My Leader SUCKS and without great leadership, I just can’t make this work.”

~ YOU are responsible for YOUR success.

You are an independent business owner NOT an employee.

We all have tools and training opportunities available to us.

Don’t sit there WAITING for someone to train you.

Don’t sit there waiting for someone to motivate you.

I know SEVERAL of the people in the higher ranks and even some of the top income earners whose sponsors disappeared after bringing them into the business.

Yet somehow they were successful.

Where else can you connect to inspiring leadership?

Corporate calls, corporate events, leadership books and audios, local trainings.

When I feel in a funk I take responsibility for myself and go find a recorded recorded corporate calls.  Jump The Funk and get my fire and energy back.

Nobody can do that for me, except for ME!.

If you don’t like your leader, then BE the kind of leader you would want to have. It’s up to YOU!

“I’ll get to that tomorrow/when the kids get back to school/after vacation/when the wind changes direction/insert excuse”.

Note: You don’t say this to me, you say “yes I have some coals in the fire.”

 ~ Get real with yourself about how you are spending the hours in your day.

I fit this business in my doing as much as I can, as fast as I can, when I can.

You’re cooking dinner? Work on your smart phone.

Let your husband take the kids to their activity sometimes, stay up late/get up early.

Of course we need balance but are you letting those things be your excuses.

If you invest your time now then you will have MORE time to do those things later, you will be MORE available to your family when you can quit your job because you built your It Works business.

Life is ALWAYS going to be ‘busy’….Especially if you have kids!

I say- stop trying to make extra time for your biz and start incorporating your biz into your busy life.

Talk about it at dance class, soccer games, the grocery store. We are in network marketing. It can literally be done from ANYWHERE!

“I don’t know as many people as you do.”

 ~ Ugh! 80% of my team were virtual strangers to me before the signed up.

I TALK to people about my biz. Even if I DON’T know them.

In fact, especially if I don’t know them.

SO, now I have a question:

Are you committed to growing your business?

Honestly, are you committed to making it a priority in your life so next year at this time your life can look a whole lot different than it does now?

Who really wants to be making 5 figures a month by this time next year?

Money or Excuses.

Which do you want to make?

If you wanna make money, we can show you how we’ve done it and it’s totally duplicateable.
