Why People Say 'YES' To Running 

Their Own Stamping Business

When I speak with my clients about recruiting new downlines, many of them are quick to point out why they think people will say 'no' to the opportunity.  Whenever I hear that kind of negative thinking, I try to help them shift to a more positive perspective.  

Forget about why people say 'no.'  You should always remind yourself why people say 'YES!'  

Here are a few of the reasons:

1. People want to get away from the 'traditional' business model

9 to 5 doesn't work for a lot of people anymore.  There are lots of two-income families who are having trouble making ends meet...even though they spend so much time working, the family is lucky if they spend an hour or two per night together.

Having your own stamping business means you can, in large part, set your own hours.  It means you can set aside quality time with your family...AND still make enough money to make ends meet. 

2. People want to be rewarded for their work

When you work for someone else's business, you're at their mercy.  You might get a raise...or you might not.  Often, the choice is so much dependent on how well you perform your job, as much as who's making the decision.  And if the business had a bad year, you're not getting a raise no matter what.

Having your own stamping business means there's a direct relationship between the amount of work you put into it and the amount of money you get back.  The harder you work, the richer the reward.

3. People want the kind of freedom that success brings

Even if you're incredibly successful working at a company or corporation, you're probably also married to your job.  Most very successful corporate businesswomen and men work 50, 60, even 70 hours per week.  

Having a successful stamping business means you can walk away (take a vacation, some personal time, etc.) and the business still runs in your absence.  You have the freedom to do what you want, when you want.  You don't have to ask anyone when you can take your vacations...or whether you can take time off because you have to do something with your family.  It's all up to you!
