First, I'm only 7 days into Dani's 30 Day Bootcamp, and I'm completely inspired. Dani was at one time homeless, and started a weight loss business out of the trunk of her car and at a phone booth. At the time, she was 50 pounds over weight, and selling weight loss products. While learning this, I've come to the conclusion that with enough determination, anyone can make a Home Based Business (HBB) work.
Before signing up with Beachbody, I've been approached with starting with Advocare, Amway, Visalus, Creative Memories, Scentsy, and plenty of others. I've ordered products from Visalus, and had a free sample with Advocare, and I am a Scentsy customer. So, a skeptic of HBB's, I thought, how can anyone make any real money at a HBB? Well, the answer is simple: find a product that you believe in, and promote it. Ok, it's not that simple, but it works for me, and here's why:
First: Choose a product that you are willing to use yourself. No matter what you choose, you have to be a product of the product. You can't sell a product that you aren't willing to use yourself. Otherwise, how can you stand behind your product.
Second: Be willing to invest. Yes, you must invest both time and money. Your product isn't going to make you money if you aren't invested in it. How can you sell Scentsy if you have a party at your home and your prospects can smell cat litter? You have to invest money to get started. Whether the start-up package costs $49.99 or $299, you have to start somewhere. The more you invest, the more you can expect to get back once you start selling. Most HBB companies have packages that are under $100, but eventually you're gonna have to upgrade if you wanna make money.
Third: Get out there and invite, but do it smartly. I've made mistakes in this area. I started inviting too soon just simply because I was too excited about the products that I represent. You HAVE to do your homework before you start selling. You HAVE to know how a product works before advertising.
Fourth: Do the training that your upline suggests! My upline suggested Dani Johnson's 30 Day Bootcamp, and I'm doing it. Additionally, I have found on my own: Chalene Johnson's 30 day Push Training (Chalene's Push Training is about getting organized, setting your priorities, and having goals, and meeting those goals.)
And finally: Don't give up! I haven't been promoted to my next level yet, but I'm still working on it.
So, if you are wondering about starting a HBB and are not sure, I encourage you to try Dani Johnson's 30 Day Bootcamp before you get started. You'll learn so much, and best of all....it's free!
