I was looking at
so many doing multiple direct sales companies. Some hop from company to
company. How well is that working for you? How do you split you time
between them? Is the one you are most passionate about the one you spend
most of your time on? Is it the one bringing in the most income?
Many are looking
for the perfect company in order to be successful. To me I finally
listened to what a mentor told me. "Kay find what you are
passionate about, what you do best and DO THAT? Stop trying to be all
things to all people. What is your niche?"
That was such
great advice. I was dabbling in multiple products and trying to make
money in lots of ways. Every time something new came along that looked
promising I tried that too. Finally I said I am going to WORK My
Precious Kid for the LONG haul, not the short run. Amazingly when I did
that my business turned around.
I remembered that
if I opened a store in town I would have to: advertise, tell people
where I was, tell them I had a product they needed or wanted and
convinced them they needed to buy it from me. That would take time
and consistent effort each and every day to build up my
clientele. I decided to do the same with my online business. That meant
getting offline some and working person to person in my community as
well as my online business. I realized with 3 million sites I would have
to work hard to get a full business online only. It was Better to use my
site to accent my offline business and help my customers I already had..
Beth Owen was an
inspiration to me as well. She was working her business everyday with
only 1 or 2 products and getting multiple orders monthly. She also had
others selling for her.
Last January
(after being asked by several how they could do my business) I took on a
couple sales reps. I had no idea that a year later I would have 80 reps
working hard to make their business successful which in turn also helped
my business be successful. And the fun part is I get to help and
encourage them in how to run a successful business too.
I encourage you to
ask God what you do best and what direction HE is leading your business.
HE is the master business planner :) He is taken me farther than I could
have imagined. And then do what you do best. Go where your passion is.
And work your business for the LONG HAUL, not the short run.
Yes business means
making adjustments in the products and the methods but the business
remains the same. People know me as Kay of My Precious Kid. That is a
valuable thing not easily gained. Become know for what you do best. Get
rid of the other business stuff that distracts you from doing your best
on your primary business.
