Why is it so hard to build up a personal business? I have a wonderful home based business, but I am not able to get a lot of others as interested as I am! It sucks! I love my biz, and don't want to give up, but it is frustrating!! Especially when people say they are interested, then decide no they aren't and there really is no reason!

I was just telling my upline director the other day I am sick of prospects I need numbers!! numbers!!! Numbers!!! Well I was reminded that I too was a prospect at one time and was asked what attracted me...find out what attracted you!! I know it may get frustrating sometimes but remember you may get a hundred no's before you get one yes!! If you thin about it getting people interested is like fishing you use different bait for different fish. In my business they let you know you need on a average to contact at least 100 prospects to 25 appointments to generate 20 presentations and get five new associates so...don't give up hang tough and set you a goal and you will be amazed at how much you will grow!!!

Thanks for that! I guess it just takes time and patience, and finding the right people! It is just hard to be all those things and know it will pay off eventually!

Thanks! It's in the travel industry. It's called Coastal Vacations http://homeformyfamily.winningwithcoastal.com Pretty much what happens is they say yes I'm intersted, then when they find out, yes there is an initial investment, of course it is your own busines, so it's yours, then they say no I just want to work form home without having any start up fees or having to pay for anything or buy anything.. Of course that is not whtt having your own home based business is about! So, ... Anyways thanks for the reply and info!
