The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into smaller, manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one." – Mark Twain.
In the exciting journey of starting a direct selling business, emotions often vacillate between excitement and fear. This is perfectly normal.
Just Get Started and Take Massive Actions:
1. Two Types of People in this Profession
those treating it as a casual venture to 'give it a try' and those who approach it as a serious business with an unwavering commitment to success. If you want substantial results, treat your business like a real business. Attend training events, be consistent with your activities, and invest time and effort.
2. It’s a Two-to-Five-Year Plan, Not a Get-Rich-Quick Scheme
Direct selling is not an instant success formula; it requires time and dedication. Understand that your first year is a learning year. During this time, focus on building relationships, recruiting teammates, and gradually witnessing the growth of your organization. Success may not happen overnight, but with patience and consistent effort, your income will experience significant growth.
3. You Are in Business for Yourself but Not by Yourself
Take advantage of the support provided by your company and experts. Your company offers essential resources, handles logistics, provides training, and more. The experts are there to guide you, conduct presentations, and contribute to your success. Remember, you're building a team, and success in direct selling is a collective effort.
Action Steps:
Commit to Treating Your Business Seriously
Schedule regular time for business activities.
Focus on activities, not short-term results.
Consider the first year as a learning period; it's a two-to-five-year plan
Connect with Experts
Find out the names and contact information of experts in your field.
Introduce yourself and express your eagerness to work with them.
Explore Company Resources
Spend fifteen minutes per day exploring the resources available on the company website.
Things to Avoid
1. False Expectation on Having University Degrees
Success in direct selling doesn't hinge on academic degrees. Many have achieved remarkable success without a college or university degree. Don't let the lack of a degree hinder your confidence or prevent you from approaching educated individuals.
2. Approval from Anybody Except Yourself
You don't need approval from anyone except yourself. Successful entrepreneurs make decisions based on their instincts, not seeking validation from others. Stay focused on your goals, and others will come around once they witness your success.
3. Approaching Closest Friends and Family Without Being Prepared
Approaching friends and family is essential, but be prepared. Use third-party tools or experts to present your opportunity. Avoid presenting by yourself, especially to close connections, as it may lead to skepticism. Utilize the credibility of others to enhance your message.
4. Seeking Advice from Outside the Profession
Listen to advice from those who have succeeded in direct selling, not well-meaning friends or family who lack experience in the field. Seek guidance from those who have achieved what you aspire to achieve.
5. Aiming for Perfection
Perfection is elusive. Don't wait for the perfect company, product, or compensation plan. Embrace imperfection, get started, and learn as you go. Waiting for perfection could mean waiting forever.
In the next chapter, we'll delve into the notion that even without a traditional education, success in direct selling is achievable. Stay tuned and remember, the journey to success is built one step at a time.
"Everyone who gets involved in direct selling begins on a level playing field. You are not judged by age, background, race, education, or financial condition. And as you help lift others to higher levels, the industry rewards you." – Stephen Covey
