I DON'T HAVE TIME.
I hear this THE MOST. This excuse is so overused! The real message, whether related to this business or anything else in your life you think you don't have time for: It's not a priority for me right now. And that's okay!!
As far as this business is concerned, I promise, you do actually have time. Would you believe me if I told you that you were already doing over half the work it takes to make money in this business? Yep, it's true!
I can show you how to leverage what you're already doing, get really clear on what you need to do intentionally and consistently, and ultimately, help you make extra money alongside your life (not “in addition to” your life).
I HAVE A FULL TIME JOB AND DON'T NEED THIS.
Do you really not need this? Are you debt free? Giving to charity, living your dream life, with maximum choices and flexibility? My guess is that you didn't answer “yes” to all of those. And if you did, good for you! Really!
The truth is, you probably really could use this, but you're comfortable…and afraid. Afraid of change, of failing, of being seen. But guess what? That's normal, and I went through all of this myself. It's the price you pay, but it's worth it!
Because what's the alternative? The price you pay instead is that you work for someone else for years of your life and maybe don't love every part of that, but feel stuck because you can't bring yourself to go off and do something different! Remember what I said above, this goes alongside what you're currently doing; listen…
Why not start now so that you can create more choices for yourself later? Because I would never suggest just quitting your job to “become an Arbonne consultant.” No, no, no, that's not the way it works. I would suggest starting now, building your business over time alongside your job, and then later, if you want to quit, then you'll have the means to do so! This business will give you CHOICES.
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE I'LL BE SUCCESSFUL.
True, but so what? Were you guaranteed to be successful when you started the job you're at now? Not really. You may have had education and training, but ultimately you are the one who creates the success from your work.
In this business, you'll be trained personally by muah 💁🏼♀️ and you'll be learning, practicing, and acquiring the skills as you earn money. This type of work requires DOING to see results, not just LEARNING to see results.
So be gracious with yourself! Why expect yourself to know how to do this when you haven't done anything like this before? Or maybe you've done network marketing before, but again, YOU create your results; this time can be different, friend!
I'M INTROVERTED, SO I FEEL LIKE THIS MIGHT NOT BE FOR ME.
First of all, I know many introverts who are at the very top level of Arbonne; it's true! We're not salespeople going door to door, all chipper and energetic, in your face. Haha! The truth is, when people know that you care about helping them, they respond by purchasing or taking the next step with you.
I've built my business on small groups and one-on-one appointments. I like to say this is a “belly to belly business," meaning that connecting personally with others is how this is done best!
If you can talk to someone else. If you desire to help others. Then you can do this, I promise!
I DON'T HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA.
It's still doable; however, building your business will look a little different than if you were to build online. It all comes down to lead generation. We all start off our business sharing with our current network, a.k.a., people we already know.
The real challenge is finding NEW people to share with once you've exhausted your current network. Unless you're online building new connections, you'll need to do that in person. Again, doable, just different.
The mindset coach in me wants to ask: “What if you were to join social media in order to build your business; would you?” Just food for thought!
If any of this resonates, and you'd like to explore further, let's have a chat! I'd love to have a conversation and help you take the next step, together!
