Curious where you are at? Did you love your kit?

I did receive my kit and really liked it! I have done two parties and I have two more parties booked this month so far. I have hardly made any sales though which is discouraging. I'm not really comfortable promoting the business because I feel like I might offend someone with the products I am selling. So now I'm wishing I would have chose the other business I was looking at but it is what it is I guess. I have invested way more money than what I wanted to get this business going so I hate to give up but I'm really not happy with what I'm doing. I'm thinking I will just do the parties I have booked already and be done with it. I feel that if I'm not happy promoting the business then I will never be successful with it!

Default Sharing the business

One of the tips that has always helped me get through times, is when I think that I am simply SHARING with other what I have to offer. Not everyone will like it or want it, but I am still going to share.

Spend some time working on your wording. Your company and upline should have lots of suggestions.

Think about this...

If you opened a Steakhouse Resturant in your town, would you SHARE with everyone that you are open for business? I think you would...

But

what if you told someone who is a vegetarin.

or

Another person may have just had a heart attack and their dr said NO MEAT

or

someone who just lost their job and can't even buy groceries this week.

Would that change anything? Not really. Becasue you know that your resturant is not for everyone. And not everyone will come. But you would still SHARE that you opened it. They might know people who love meat.

I understand since you are with an adult novetly company...it can be a little more sensative, but again, talk to your upline,read the materials and just SHARE with people what you have to offer.

Some will, some won't, it's okay...who's next?

Good luck with your decision!

I was considering that company because I would be able to take my kids with me and thought it would be something fun we could do together! But I chose the company I'm with because I also thought it would be nice to have some time to myself but I'm finding it's a little inconvenient to have to get a sitter when I have a party to do!

If you don't love what you do or feel comfortable, it will be hard to go far. Can you sell off your kit items to make back the money and go for the other company?

You really have to be passionate about what you do to be successful. I did a few companies for the wrong reasons and didn't make it far. But when I get excited about something, I know I can do well because I want to do it. :-)

Good luck!

Debbie

I agree with what Debbie said...You have to make sure you are with the right company for the right reasons! Good luck!
