Worst case scenario....

A little over 3 years ago- I was debating this home business thing. I was torn up over having to invest in something- because, all the warnings say "if you have to give them money, it's a scam"- while this is somewhat true - it's highly vague. 
A business that offers a product or service, to offer your clients- will often need you to invest in the products to make the business work. It is very much like opening up a store front on main street- you need inventory to sell to your customers.
If a "business" asks you to invest in something and does not have a product or service to offer, but relies on adding people under you to make money. That is a scam- and is highly illegal.
MLM companies are not scams. They are not illegal. They offer products and services. MLM is more than just adding people under you- a good MLM will allow the people under you to move above you providing they do the work to get there. A good MLM will have multiple ways to earn money.
My company does just that.

But, even many who comprehend all this, still struggle with the feeling of failure and opt not to jump in. Why?

Because there is this fear that they don't know enough people to get started. Here is what my thoughts are.

Business is highly reliant on everyone you don't know. Many times our friends and family, are not our biggest supporters. Many times they are your worst critics and are there in the sidelines rooting for you to fail.

When you start a business, throw a launch party. Hand out invitations to everyone you DON'T know. If you are new to the neighborhood, throw a "new neighbor party"- Invite people from the grocery store, the bank, the post office, the hair salon- pretty much - everyone you see within a weeks time. This is a fantastic way to make new friends, get new eyes on you and your business and be successful.

But- don't stop there. Host an open house twice a month, or at the very least- once a month. Post fliers up everywhere, hand out physical invitations, just like for your launch party. Create a consistent routine- and people will not only begin to be loyal and come (it will take some time for them to trust you) and bring new friends, too.

Consistency is key. Start off on the right foot with a launch party- and keep it rolling over and over and over.

So- if you've been thinking about joining Paparazzi. I can help you plan, work and succeed at all of this. My team and I are ready to help you. We offer 24-7 support, and training. Unlimited inspiration and motivation. You will become empowered and find a family you never knew you could have.

What's the worst thing that can happen? You get "stuck" with really cute and fun jewelry that you can keep for yourself or give away for gifts for the next few months? Doesn't seem so harsh to me. Take a leap of faith. #yougotthis #ibelieveinyou #teampinkboutique
