So I took a nice, long vacation from work only doing things here and there! That’s the freedom of my job and as much as I do love the flexibility I am so ready to get back to work!!
I can’t believe those words even came out of my mouth! I have never enjoyed my previous jobs enough to be excited to get back to it after a long break! I thought it fitting to make a list of pros and cons being a Distributor for It Works for all you lovely people who just don’t get all my peppiness! P.S. The title is very much fitting because that is exactly what this opportunity has allowed me to do!
Pros:
Create my own hours- No more hectic schedules! No more clocking in! Full-time college student, Babysitter, and time for my Family and Friends..Perfect! I am in control of my own time! I no longer miss out on important events, exciting opportunities, or sleep! For my friends and family who already have full-time jobs, this was perfect for them even if it meant only 2-4 days of working the business. For those individuals in the health and beauty industry it was a no-brainer for them to use the products as add on services to their salons, spas, gyms, etc!
Love the products- No more convincing people to buy products I would never use myself like my previous jobs (retail anyone?) I use these everyday and I love them for what they’ve done for my overall health! When I recommend a product I have my own personal testimony! It takes all the “sales” out of selling these products when all I have to do is talk about what it has done for me and other people!
Residual Income– No more getting paid less than the MAN who does the same job and works the same hours as me! This is a biggie and was so obvious in my previous job, but thankfully now my level of effort and work is reflected in my paycheck! There is no trying to convince people I am qualified because I am a woman, because I am young, because I am still in college. There’s a tremendous respect and confidence through that freedom that allows me to do my job happily.
Promotions– I promoted within 2 months of joining as a Distributor for It Works! How? I worked with passion, I got creative, and of course I shared the product! It’s simple work but needs to be repeated month by month for continued success! I especially love the company’s Debt Free Motto which is something we ALL strive for in life! It’s not about the money, but the freedom and security it offers to know that there are endless opportunities when we aren’t worried about our next paycheck! The company also does so many promotions, some temporary and some ongoing, that offer everyone an equal opportunity to earn extra money for their hard work! Right now our TOO GOOD BONUS is giving 20 people $20,000 to erase any medical, school, or credit card debt! AMAZING!!
Entrepreneurship– I was never the woman to find myself in a boring, unsatisfying situation only to grin and bear it. Hell no! I want FUN! I want inventive ways for doing things and I wanted to be surrounded by like minded individuals who want to go the non-traditional path! You can see it in our way of doing business and communicating within the company. We are all here for the same reason, we strive for something more. There’s a huge, HUGE difference between going to work to get a paycheck and doing that same thing, but with passion! We set goals! We don’t “shrink our dreams” we “grow our income!” It Works Global is THAT company! It makes you think outside the box, see that whatever your dreaming of is possible!
MLM Model- Our wrap is a first to market product of its kind and our direct sales approach allows for anyone to join and find success! This is a biggie as well! I have heard the argument about MLM being a pyramid scheme and so forth. MLM is about building your own team, with people you’d like to see succeed with you and who are as passionate as you, and I love that! I never liked the Corporate Model which is the real pyramid scheme where the only way to promote is for the person above you to quit, get fired, or die! I joined my sister’s team and we are at the same promotional level although I am “under” her team. I can surpass her or we can continue to promote together, the point is..the possibility is there!
Opportunity- So many markets can be saturated, but not with us! The ability I have to be able to move to a different city or country tomorrow and still be able to be a successful It Works Distributor is incredible! We are open for business all across the United States and in 18 other countries globally as well and we continue to keep growing! We have less than 100,000 Distributors which is not even enough to cover all the ground that we are embarking on! This means so much business opportunity! I live in Chicago and I am amazed at how many people have never heard of the wrap! Never have they heard of It Works Global! I have read so many success stories from individuals who live in tiny, tiny towns and have had great amounts of success! Possibilities are truly endless.
Cons:
Motivation: Without it, your business may not be so successful. When you choose your own hours and build your own paycheck, it takes a lot of energy to get yourself out there making the initiative to create those sparks for your business. You have to want it enough to step out of your comfort zone and make things happen! For some, it may be easy but for most people there needs to be a “WHY” Your “WHY” is essential to your business because it is the driving force, the reason, the goal or dream or inspiration for why you took on this business and why it is important and necessary that you succeed!
Courage: You definitely need courage if you want to build a team. You need to be a leader before you can lead. There are plenty of qualities that you should begin to harness to make you a strong leader and ultimately a stronger person. People will not always agree with your new business venture and may speak negatively, but they are not building your dreams for you are they? You can be fearful of asking someone about the business and being turned down, I still am! However, it’s just a “no” it is not personal, it doesn’t mean we failed, it is just a word and we move on. When you think of how much of this business is about connecting with other people, talking to people and listening to their wants and needs… you’ll see how silly it may be sometimes of letting that fear stand in your way of success!
Comfort: I think this is a good outlook for life in general, but I feel sometimes when we get too comfortable in a situation we are almost settling for what we’ve got. We are happy for how far we’ve made it that we kind of don’t care or don’t feel the need to keep working towards more. That thinking is a tricky and slippery slope and can often lead to laziness or feelings of defeat. When you reach your goals and dreams, CONGRATS! Now go make new ones!! Push the limit, push yourself and see how far you can go. Don’t get comfortable at your promotional level for so long that you are no longer trying out fresh ways to run your business. Remember why you started, congratulate yourself for where you are now, and start working toward more.
Pace: Unlike traditional jobs that may pressure you into working faster, harder, longer etc. As a distributor you control all that and sometimes you may find yourself comparing your pace to others. You need to remember that this is your journey and you will move at your own pace. It is not a race, but it is important you continue moving forward. As long as you are moving forward then you’re doing great. Also, there is a difference to working hard and working smart. Find it and learn from it.
So there are my reasons! The Cons are not necessarily “cons” because these are things we should understand in our lives in general but in its relevance to It Works, it is crucial we understand those for our success!
