Honestly, I love it. The supply and order process is all internet based but the work with people is face-to-face so it's still personable. If something is going to be my life's passion, I want to be able to create long lasting relationships. I know there are some sites online where you can buy X amount of leads of people that are looking for an opportunity, etc., but I've worked on my self-confidence and self-image enough over the last two years that I am content with approaching potential prospects/business partners while out and about. I'm still of the belief that if you can't at least offer what you're doing to friends or family, then how much confidence do you really have in it as an opportunity? I look at what I was offered as a gift that can really help people. I'm not afraid to share that.
It may be slower growth, but I think it's more stable, as there is a greater opportunity to create a bond that goes beyond just a product or products. I think every business opportunity has it's pluses and minuses, but I think those that win are the ones that have the greatest mentorship and I think the people that win in them are the ones who are willing to stick with them long enough to learn how to be mentored and apply that mentorship. I had been an employee for 13 years when I got started, so for me to think that I know it all, even after 2 years would be shallow-minded on my part.
With the opportunity that I'm involved in, there is enough success from various people in various parts of the Country (and the World, actually) that signifies to me that anyone can do it. Or more directly, that I have at least as much skill as some of the people I've seen move on. If that makes sense. I guess that's why I was bold enough to start the blog - I have full confidence that I'll make it. Honestly, we're closer to beating the odds than ever before, but even if things were to backslide a little, we've come close enough that I have full confidence we'll get there.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done. That's why I enjoy it so much. If it was easy, it wouldn't be fulfilling.
