Month 3 Feeling Confident but Also Realizing MLM is Way Different than Healthcare!

Here I am 3 months into my new adventure and I am feeling good but not as good as I hoped! I am still super excited because I know that this business works it is a matter of finding the perfect recipe for individual success.  I did receive my last months pay which was double what my month previous was - yeah! However, I have had more ladies turn me down and many a naysayers explain to me why THEIR opinion is the RIGHT one.  I find this funny because when I am confronted with people like this it makes me wonder is it really well given advice or is it an internal part of themselves that feel they would never be able to succeed at something like MLM and they want to make sure that others share the same feeling.

That leads me to this point.  Proverbs 13:4 comes to mind when I reflect on some of things that have been said and displayed.  Solomon wrote "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied".  Do I believe that some who have made ill comments to me to be sluggards? No.  However, voicing negative thoughts and discouragement displays their inability to be supportive even if they don't believe in your actions.  The bible mentions that iron sharpens iron and that we should call out our brother or sister when they're in need of lifting up or drifting astray.  It is important to have those in your life who will lift you up when you're down and those to bring you to reality when you need an epiphany.  Being accountable goes a long way.  I am accountable for my own actions...if I were to tear someone down because they decided to get in shape and run a marathon am I directly responsible if they fail? Were it my negative comments that filled their mind? The mind is a powerful tool and keeping that in mind it can make or break you NO matter the task, goal or success one is seeking NO ONE CAN DETERMINE YOUR PATH BUT YOU.  The ability to differentiate between those who are creating negativity and those who truly have your best interests at heart is necessary to be personally successful.

I have chosen to do this venture because I believe in the Arbonne products, I am a user of the products and they work for me.  Why is it wrong to share the natural excitement I have over these products with those that surround me? I am happy with the results that I personally have seen with my skin and as we move into November I will be coming more involved with the health and fitness component of Arbonne.  I truly believe that I can be successful in this business and the only one who can determine my success is me!

I pray that if you're reading this blog that I am able to inspire you to choose your own path and let your mind block out negativity and to realize that accountability is realized in how you react and respond to others.  Are you someone who INSPIRES?  Are you motivated by positive feedback but question yourself when negativity shows it's face?  Are you equipped to be the best you can be at whatever you choose to pursue?

In this venture I am blessed with an incredible upline who has INSPIRED me to pursue something that many believe can't be done, I am MOTIVATED by my family and a desire to be something more than I am now and I have been EQUIPPED with the resources and tools that I need to be a successful Arbonne consultant.
For those who say it can't be done; this month I  moved into District Manager for Arbonne - yes one step above the label of consultant but a step that many say can't happen...So I will keep looking forward, being a product of the products I promote and will continue to seek those who desire the same goal as I!  

I believe that Arbonne was way ahead of it's time considering that in 1975 who thought what we put on our skin and ingest should be PURE, SAFE AND BENEFICIAL?  I believe that my testimony and my proof will assist in relaying the message that Arbonne is a magnificent company that offers products that work and opportunities for people like me can be successful as long as you keep your mind clear from negativity, rely on accountability and always seek God.
