One of the key phrases I continue to write down every day to myself as a reminder is “Start Saying Yes To Everything And Watch Your Life Unfold Blissfully”
This has helped me push through any and all barriers and help Shatter the Negative Notion of Direct Sales and Social Commerce
People’s perception of something they are unfamiliar with is due to their belief system and values. We are here to help each other evolve to attract and generate opportunities.
The biggest misconception people have about the industry of Network Marketing is due to their lack of knowledge or willingness to understand the concept of what the industry is. If it is unfamiliar territory they are conditioned to judge, resent, and be an “expert” in critical acclaim. Get educated enough to what it is before you make an uneducated decision and cost yourself millions!
I speak from experience being in the Direct-to-Consumer business for 3 years plus. Coming from a Corporate America background for over 15 years as a former Fashion Executive and Hospitality Manager, I have evolved my mindset into saying YES to opportunities to get educated about them before I say a HARD NO!
Here are my tips and a few tweetable quotes that have helped many individuals shift to open their mindset which has created a path of opportunities they never dreamt existed for them.
1. Never squander an opportunity presented to you; just roll with it, it may not work out, even if it doesn’t work out for you, you might serve someone else with it.
2. If you are not mentally ready to be open to that opportunity, you are not going to see the value in it – Start saying YES to everything, and things will come to you.
3. Direct sales might not be for everyone, there is a certain entrepreneurial mindset you will need to develop within direct sales or any startup business.
4. Re-frame the investment term, there will always be an investment in working for yourself and it doesn’t necessarily mean a monetary investment.
5. In any kind of venture, you are into, even for yourself, there will always be a start-up cost.
You are building something for yourself based on your skill sets to help add value to other people and solve a solution.
