Fact: Everyone can be in direct sales, and YOU can do this! Success is not based on your outward appearance, it is found by believing in yourself and going after what you want. All those things listed above are excuses just holding you back. Be yourself, and work hard. Believe you can, and you will. All those cliche phrases out there, own them. Because, they are true.
Myth #2: I have to do every single event in my area (or focus JUST on events) to get noticed and build a client base.
Fact: Events cost money, and honestly for most people, do not generate healthy sales. They are usually more for networking and generating leads. They really should only be done in your "spare" time, when you can afford the extra fees to do them. If you are just starting out, focus on meeting new people in your daily routines, and offering them an opportunity. Host a launch party, or a series of parties that will only cost you the time and effort of hanging up fliers, and handing out invitations. You will generate more word of mouth advertisement, more loyal customers and higher sales.
Myth #3: The top leader in the company ranked up 6 times in her first 3 months. So, that should be my goal, too.

Fact: Even those who do not rank quickly, can be leaders and successful. You can climb that ladder slowly and still be an amazing asset to your upline, the company and your family! Celebrate your successes big or small, and keep moving forward! The only person you need to be better than, is who you were yesterday!
Myth #4: My friends and family will support me in whatever I do.
Fact: Now this one is a tough one to swallow, because we love our friends and family. And, they probably love you, too (we hope!). But, they are going to be your dream killers! They will likely be the ones to laugh at you, tell you it's a scheme, you are going to fail or that "these things never work.". Do not rely on them to help you get your business going! They are your "comfort zone", so you need to get out of that space....and open yourself up to strangers. Teach yourself how to ask questions, like: Is that necklace from Paparazzi? or, Do I know you from somewhere? Was it Ashley's Paparazzi Party last Friday? By asking questions like these, you will begin to have conversations and build relationships- and this will lead to more parties, and more team mates.

Myth #5: My friend failed at this, so I probably wont go anywhere either. So, I just joined for the cheaper product prices.
Fact: You kind of just wanted to show your friend up. Let's face it, you wanted to save money, but you also thought you could make money. And, you CAN! Listen to your sponsor, or your team... duplicate what the leaders in your company are doing, and you will not fail!
