Are You A Full-Timer Or Ready To Quit?

Between playing with my two granddaughters and just plain old catching up I did manage to write some this weekend.

I had to ask myself a question; does writing create leads for my business? In the long run yes it does BUT NOT overnight.

Some of you have asked Holly what is your schedule? How do you manage getting it all done?

See, I still work full time with my “journey over broke” and I manage to work my business full time. When I get home from work around 4:30 I start working on my business right away and most days I don’t get to bed before 1:00 AM

Anyway, back to my story…when I started my business 6 years ago now I decided that this was IT! I knew I was in it for the long haul. I knew that this was way better than the 40-40-40 plan.

40 years, 40,000, $40 watch!

But here is what most of you end of doing or saying:

“I’ll give this six months” What! Are you kidding? Do your sponsor a favor don’t even start. Six months of training only to have you quit! Gimme a break.

“O.K. I’ll try” Yoda says Don’t Try DO!

“I didn’t realize it was so much work.” Are you kidding me? Go open a McDonald’s. You’ll work 60-80 hours a week for the first 5 years and then you MIGHT break even.

“Do I really have to pick up the phone?” ah, I won’t even comment

“I made 10 calls and 3 of them hung up on me!” Oh well, read my blog.

“My sponsor hurt my feelings.” Jeez, get to work. This is your business NOT your sponsor’s.

“My downline won’t call me back.” Their loss. I traveled from my home here in Southport, NC to Washington, DC to work with one of my Reps recently. I called all 13 of my reps in the area! Guess what, only one showed up! And she’s inactive…I think she’ll be back soon. As I said, their loss.

“I sent in a support ticket and never heard back.” Read your training the answer’s probably there.

Which reminds me of another story. A couple of years ago, I had a team mate email with a bunch of questions. I answered, these are in the team manual. The response? I don’t have time to read that I’ll just send in a support ticket! Are you kidding me? No wonder the company doesn’t answer all of the support tickets they receive. READ THE MANUAL!

I used to call, email, and conjole folks back! Not anymore, I am the Donald Trump of my own corporation! I don’t beg folks back or in my business. And you shouldn’t either. Show them ONCE, trickle emails to them but stop begging folks in. Like Dani Johnson says, “If you gotta beg folks in you’ll be begging them to training calls, meetings, etc.” Your time is worth more than that. Isn’t it?

Oh here I go again…ramblin’…I actually had someone quit within 2 hours!

What’s your story? Do you have someone who joined your business/team only to quit right away? Oh and what is the funniest or weirdest excuse you’ve ever heard from folks who have joined your business only to quit soon after? Comment below; I’d love to hear your stories.

Enjoy today and every day and get to work! It’s so worth it.
