What do you do when you feel wronged by your company?

Recently, I've been attempting to be a better leader by taking some simple steps- that no doubt scare me. Part of the reason this scares me, is because- I am so uncomfortable with confrontation, I am literally scared of being yelled at.  But, I know that my business will never grow, if I don't just deal with it and move past it.  I have to learn to deal with these situations, so that I can continue doing what I love.

I want to discuss how to deal with situations that make you feel like throwing in the towel.
Every business is going to have some major bumps in the road, and without doubt, you will come across a situation that really fires you up.  You are going to want to quit. You are going to want to talk bad about someone or something in your company.  But, I really want to encourage you to not do that.

Business is built on relationships.  And while you might be feeling like someone, or the company, doesn't care about you- you have to remember there is someone out there who is looking at you, too. They are watching your actions, they are seeing how you deal with stress. They are looking up to you. And if you throw a fit, stomp and throw your fists- they are going to feel like YOU don't care about them.  You are someone to somebody.  And they want to learn from you.

If you truly love doing what you've been doing, sometimes you just have to take the less traveled tour- and, push past your feelings of hurt and thoughts of "they don't care". The truth is, if they didn't care- they wouldn't have even offered the opportunity in the first place.

To even throw out the term "they don't care about me, why should I care about them"- without having ever even met or TALKED to the founders/ceo's of the company to find out their vision- is childish.

Major companies and corporations are tied up so often with legal knots. I'm sure they would LOVE to bend over this way or duck under that way to help you, but they literally just can NOT do it- no matter how special you are.

Imagine the pickle they would be in if they made a special exception for everyone in a special circumstance. They wouldn't be a very stable and firm business model, would they?

Many times the problems and issues we come up against are clearly outlined for us to avoid in the fine print. If anything offers you a terms and conditions agreement to sign, or a policy to agree to- read it and understand that sometimes unforseen things happen, and sometimes there will be no way to rectify a problem that came up. And it's not that the company is looking down on you, or doesn't care about you or that you aren't special and valuable to them. Sometimes, it's just a knot they can't untie.  Sometimes it's a knot that might be holding the company in place so that you can continue doing something that you love to do.

When you can tell me that you love the look on people's faces when they find out you are coming over, or are going to be at this place or that, or that they light up when you tell them the price or what the product is- and, you tell me how good that makes you feel to offer something like that to your friends, family and customers-  then it's worth it to forgive and move on.  It's worth it to take a breath, count to ten and keep going.  The world is not out to get you. They cannot take your passion from you. This is something that can be worked out, you can get past this.  I promise.

After all, that is what this business is all about- To change the lives of our Consultants and their customers by providing fashionable and affordable accessories, and by providing an opportunity to financially benefit their lives and the lives of their families in a positive way.
