Does Mother’s Day Bum You Out?
Each holiday social media is littered with “Happy This, Happy That” type posts that seem shallow and disingenuous. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that’s my opinion on the matter. However, I do have something other than a superficial greeting that I would like to say on the subject of Mother’s Day.
This post is for the moms who no longer have a living mother.
All too often I’ve heard women say they don’t like Mother’s Day because their own mom is no longer on this earth. With the exception of the very first Mother’s Day you endure without your mom, because that one is a doozy, I would strongly encourage those who share the sadness sentiment to change your attitude about Mother’s Day.
If you’re sad on Mother’s Day I assume that means because you adored your mom immensely and miss her greatly. I get that. I lost my mom to lung cancer before I ever finished high school. That was a long time ago, but rarely a day goes by that I don’t think about her. If your mom was also special to you, that means she was a wonderful person. So answer this: Do you think your mom would want you spending your Mother’s Day being sad? I can answer that, that’s a resounding NO WAY! [Read more…] about Does Mother’s Day Bum You Out?
Professional Pay Isn’t Available If You Look Like a Hobbyist
“If you want to earn professional pay you need to do professional work.” – Orville Thompson, Fmr Direct Selling Association Chairman
Human Resources professionals give interview advice to dress for the part you want. The same holds true for your direct sales business as it relates to your marketing collateral. Your business cards, flyers and brochures would be the equivalent of you dressing for the part you want.
The best way to ensure your new direct selling business never gets off the ground is to create your own marketing material. There are exceptions to every rule and I have seen some very professional looking home made business cards, fliers, brochures, etc. Yet those rare cases are not the norm. For the most part, homemade marketing collateral screams amateur and hobbyist.
Conversely the marketing materials your direct sales parent company provides are valuable tools available for independent consultants. Use the professional design and printing to portray an image of professionalism. Poor marketing causes more damage than no marketing at all, so take advantage of the pre-designed marketing material provided by your home office.

Is Your Direct Sales Biz Not Doing Well?
If your direct sales business isn’t doing well, the answer is not to quit and try a different company. The answer is to fix what isn’t working. If you don’t know how, seek counsel from your upline. If you don’t mesh well with your upline, contact that person’s upline. If you don’t know who that is, contact your corporate office to ask. Review your starter material. Visit your training center. Participate in your team training page.
Let me repeat, if you direct selling business isn’t going well, the answer is not to quit and try a different company. “These things” work … as long as you do too!
