Okay so I know that your news feed is probably flooded daily with your friends posting about their businesses they've started or the products that they are selling. If you're anything like i was, you probably roll your eyes and keep scrolling. You think to yourself, "Why would anyone want to start a thing like that, there's no actual money in it." Then you might think some more and say that "It's a scam, it's so dumb that anyone is doing this, the products probably don't even work."
I know that you are thinking these things because I DID TOO! My best friend started selling It Works and tried numerous times to convince me to buy her products, or join her in selling it. Each time I shot her down and scoffed to myself like I was all high and mighty because I wouldn't fall into "the trap".
However, I started listening to my friend more. She has had great success with her business now, and she lost weight in the process. While home for Christmas break she sat down with me and had a serious conversation. She broke down the process of how everything works, how you make money, told me about her favorite products, and promised me that there was absolutely noway I could fail.
I reluctantly hopped on the bandwagon and started my journey. Right off the bat I got so many rejections, people just flat out saying that they didn't want any part of it. I was so discouraged. I knew for sure that I would flop and be done before I even started.
That being said tomorrow I get my first paycheck from my "side gig". One of my instructors, I'm a full time college student, said one of the best ways to stay out of debt, which you have a lot of when you go to college, is to get a side hustle. (Being an independent distributor!) I go to class all day long, I'm heavily involved on campus, and I have a regular job. I live pay check to pay check. I couldn't get another job if I wanted to, I simply don't have the time, but with being an independent distributor I am my own boss, I get back what I put into this business. With the start of second semester being here, getting an extra paycheck has been so beneficial to me; allowing me to get everything I needed to start this semester off great, since I'd have to wait a full two weeks before getting paid from my other job.
With all of this in mind, please support your independent distributor friends. I promise it's not a scam and we are just like everyone else, this is just another job. No it's not money handed to us, we do have to work really hard at it. Even if you don't need the products try helping your friends by posting something for them, and please be kind. I promise they will appreciate it more than you could possibly know.
