So I felt it was time for another little blog to keep you all up to date with Aloe Darlings adventures. What a busy summer it was; I'm still working my full time job, and working harder than ever at my part-time business with Forever Living. Yet it doesn't feel like hard work, why? Because I love it!! It's my passion, there is so much to love.....fantastic products, great personal development and a sense of achievment, as well as having clear goals for the future.
I have a team of 4 distributors now, who are each building their own home businesses and teams. I have trained and helped them during their first few months, and will continue to do so for as long as they need me. We are friends, we have fun but most importantly we have our own individual dreams and goals for ourselves and our families, which we will achieve through supporting each other, and using all the tools given by Forever Living to help us to build and grow.
So why build a team? Because Forever Living rewards you for each new distributor you bring into the business, as long as you train them, support them, and help them to get up and running. Nobody is ever left to "do it by themselves", as they say in this industry "its a business for yourself, but not by yourself". Team building allows you to move up through the company's marketing plan, where an uncapped income and many incentives are open to you ie travel, car plan, chairmans bonus, to name but a few. At the beginning I must admit this all seemed too good to be true, until I met so many people who have achieved this and more in a very short time with this company; 1-3 years. There's no secret, no magic formula.....just consistent, steady activity in your business will get you there.
I started asking people 3 months ago to look at this business, and when I say "look" I mean I meet them and talk them through a presentation about the company and the business opportunity, This can't be covered in a phone call. I have shown the business to many people, and many have said "no, thank you Bernie, it's not for me". And guess what, that's perfectly fine!! Many of these " nos" have come from close friends and family, and we're still friends!! I don't even need to know why they say no, it's none of my business. But let me just say I am so grateful for each and every person who has sat with me in my home, their home, a cafe or hotel reception and looked at this business. Why? Because at least they KNOW what they are saying no to. And I have got 4 amazing team members now because I kept asking. What really makes me sad is people who say "no" without even knowing what they are saying no to, they will never know the opportunity they missed. Network Marketing is NOT for everyone, it takes courage, self belief, persistance, a strong mind, confidence, a great personality, bucketfuls of motivation, a determination to succeed and yes, wanting so much more out of life!
If I've asked you to look at this business it means that I think you have at least some of these qualities, and even still you might say no, and yes, that really is fine!! I can take it, yours won't be the first, or the last no that I hear. But I will keep going for my own reasons such as: my bonus cheque is getting bigger every month, I must lead my team by example and make sure they are achieving their goals along the way, and also this company rewards you for every single effort you make. I really don't know any other business that offers incentives such as this.
So my children are back in school, work is getting a little quieter, and I have more time to work on the best little business in the world! Christmas is coming, and myself and my team have lots of exciting and fun activity planned over the next few months! I wouldn't bet against us....we are going all the way to the top.
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
Love, Bernie. (Aloe Darling). x
