Things are moving slower than I hoped but I think that could be because I had a list a mile long of things to do for retailing, people to talk to and places to go. So I’m cutting that list down to 3 things that I will focus on to move forward.
In the past 7 days I’ve started many conversations with strangers. Some had an open mind about home businesses and some I disqualified right away because they were not looking for anything. They seemed to be happy right where they are. And that’s ok; we want people to be in our business because they want something more out of life.
I also found out that I truly do enjoy helping people! For the past 3 years I’ve been trying to get connected with a group of people that do candle fundraising for 9 churches. It’s like I could never get that appointment with the Grand Pupa.
Now it will happen and I believe that is because I gave of my time this past weekend to help with the fundraising that they were doing at my brother-in-laws church. As I was working and meeting all of the wonderful people giving their time I felt as though I was a part of something huge.
What I’ve noticed is that for people that live in bigger cities they have such a HUGE potential to meet and build relationships with others everyday. There are people everywhere!
I’m also visiting Nursing Homes that were referred to me by family. The Activities Directors love the boxes I put together with stackers and candle melts in them for the residents to talk of memories that the smells remind them of. This idea was a great creation, thanks to Karen Singer.
My intentions of my 60 day journey was to get me out of my comfort zone, do the things that I teach my team, look for more leaders and to experience something I had never done before. I don’t think you can put a time limit on something like this.
Tip: The more you think you need to go somewhere else to find business then in your own back yard, think again. Let everyone know about your candle business and let them decide if a home business with your company is for them.
Cheers,
Susan
