Hey yall! This post has been a long time coming & I had intended to do a video about it but I'm afraid the video would get super long & I would lose my voice, lol. I've had sooo many people ask me WHY I stopped recruiting others to work from home several months ago and have been solely focusing on affiliate marketing with the products that I personally use and love. Soooo here's why...
I am one of the most compassionate people you could ever meet. So much so that I try not to even watch or listen to the news because all of the bad crap that goes on in the world really gets to me. And we all know that's all the news channels focus on- the bad. So if you tell me how unhappy, broke, or stressed you are over your crappy job, recent layoff, or whatever...yes, I will want to help you change that crappy situation. But the thing is, I can't do it FOR you! Everyone SAYS they want to change their financial situation, but very few actually do anything to make it happen. They just make excuse after excuse, put it off and put if off. Like I said, I have compassion for yall but I'm sorry, I just don't tolerate B.S. excuses. You either want to change your situation or you don't, it's that simple. No excuses! So let's look at 5 of the most common B.S. excuses that people give... 1. "I'm really busy, I just don't have TIME to build a home business." Really? You don't have time? So you're telling me that you NEVER watch tv or Netflix, get on Facebook, play games, get a lunch break at work, read trashy books, sit around in waiting rooms- doctor, dentist, car dealership, beauty salon, auto repair shop, etc, your kids NEVER nap or play independently, etc? I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. We're ALL busy, life is hectic! But we make time for the things that we WANT to make time for. The beauty of a home-based business is that you can build it on your OWN schedule. Yes, it will take you longer to reach your income goals if you're only able to work 30 mins/day but building slowly is much better than not building at all and staying STUCK in your current situation for the rest of your life. 2. "I don't have the money to start a home business." or "I can't afford the start-up fee." Borrow the money. Sell something you don't need. Don't want to do that? Fine, join a free business. You probably won't make nearly as much money, but we've all gotta start somewhere. Honestly, I've found that the majority of people who use the "lack of funds" excuse really COULD afford it if they'd just give up buying a few packs of cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, fast food, energy drinks, tattoos, or shopping sprees. Again, it's all about priorities. You either want it you don't. 3."Is this a scam? I'm afraid I'm going to get scammed." I've been making money online in some form or another since I was 17 years old. I'm 29 now, I'll be 30 in February. So that's going on 13 years. I know what's a scam and what isn't. I know what works and what doesn't. I'm not going to put my face or my name on a scam and I don't recommend anything that I do not KNOW to be legitimate. Don't believe me? Do your own research on whatever company you're considering joining, it's not that difficult. Just keep in mind, however, that EVERY company has haters and people who joined & didn't do crap with their business, so they screamed "SCAM!" because they didn't make any money for those ZERO efforts they put in. So if you're going to research, research WELL. 4."I don't want to bug my friends and family." or "I really don't know that many people." You don't want to bug your friends and family? So don't! You don't know that many people? Learn to find people who are actually LOOKING for what you have to offer. Step out of your comfort zone and put yourself out there. No one can find you if you stay hidden in your little box. Figure out who your target market is and then go find them! 5. "I don't like selling." , "I'm not a good sales-person." , or "I don't like talking to people." So don't sell! Find a product or service that you love & believe in, use it yourself, and share it with others. Have you ever recommended a movie, song, restaurant, store, hair stylist, vehicle, or anything else? Yes? Well did you get PAID for it? Nope, I didn't think so... Find something you love, use it, recommend it, and get paid for it! If you truly can't find a product or service that you love and will personally use, join a company that does all of the selling FOR you! I just recently joined a brand new company that provides a sales team who actually calls your prospects and "closes" them FOR YOU. You never even have to TALK to anyone if you don't want to. You just share a phone # and a promo code, anyone interested calls the phone number & enters that promo code, and the company does the rest for you. How easy is that? I mean c'mon now, there's a way around EVERY dilemma! Now those are just FIVE of the MANY B.S. excuses that I've heard. And 2 superrrr irritating responses that I've also gotten are... 1. "How soon will I start making money with this?" I don't know your work-ethic! I don't know if you're going to join and do NADA, expecting to get rich overnight, or if you'll actually do the work required to succeed. That's up to YOU! 2. "Well how much have YOU made with this?" MY success has absolutely NOTHING to do with YOUR success! Whether I've made ONE dollar or one MILLION dollars, you get paid on YOUR efforts, NOT on mine! Months ago when I decided to stop recruiting/referring/sponsoring/what-have-you I TRASHED a list of 327 prospects who were either "thinking about" or "saving up the money" to join me in one of my companies OR they claimed they were going to join me on a specific date (or "next pay day") and yet they NEVER...DID... That crap is ridiculous, yall! Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! lol! Seriously though, doing nothing is making you NOTHING! Stop putting it off and putting it off, just give it a shot! The time is going to pass anyways, so why not give it a go, give it your all, and see if it will change your life like it's changed the lives of sooo many others. You'll never know until you try! But anyways, I think I've ranted long enough and that should explain perfectly the reason WHY I stopped wasting my time & energy on tire-kickers and B.S. excuse makers. I refuse to CHASE after ANYONE- it's YOUR life and it's YOUR decision whether you want to change your life or not... Anyone who knows me knows that I very rarely rant, so if this post "stepped on your toes" then you may want to figure out exactly WHY that is. If there happens to be someone on here reading this right now who actually IS ready to change their financial situation, actually IS willing to give it their all, and actually WON'T procrastinate and/or give me B.S. excuses- take a look around my website here and let me know if you see anything that strikes your fancy. I will answer any questions that you may have, help you with anything that I possibly can, etc- but I can't & won't do it FOR you. Just keeping it real, Missy <3
