How does your future look?

Yesterday I heard a sermon about how predictable God's word is. As the day went on and I thought about that, I also started thinking about our business and how predictable *it* is.   

 

I know that once a person has discovered that Shaklee is the right company for themselves, if they are willing to follow the basic fundamentals for building a network marketing business, their future can be very predictable. A solid network marketing business will predictably pay residual income for many years. Just think of that for a minute: you and I have a future filled with certainty if only we are willing to do what it takes. 

 

I know that we have the right company, the right products and a compensation plan that is incredibly lucrative and it will pay you handsomely for sticking with the basics. If you are willing to learn some lessons along the way and follow a mentor who has already achieved what it is you want to achieve, you will make progress, master this business and get to higher levels of income.

 

Here are some facts: if you talk to 10 people this week about the products and/or the earning opportunity, some will be interested and some won't. If you hold an opportunity meeting for your team, some people will always attend and some people won't. If you set appointments every week, there will be some who told you "yes" only because they didn't know how to say "no" so they don't show up. But there will be some who do show up. There will be people who say they want a Shaklee business but they don't want to talk to people. I also know that if you aren't talking to people it's very difficult to grow and enjoy the business. It's very predictable what we will face as we build.

 

So to keep it simple, it comes down to this in my mind, how are you going to handle the little setbacks that happen on a regular basis? Will you keep doing the right things, or try to figure out why some people aren't interested and try to convince and/or persuade?   Our job is not to convince and/or persuade people. Our job is to show this incredible idea to as many people as possible, keep it as simple as possible, and don't get all hung up trying to figure out how or why some very simply say "no."

 

We do have a future filled with certainty and it is predictable. This business flat-out works for anyone willing to learn lessons and work at the fundamentals. Think about it. Have a great week.

 

Enthusiastically,
