Have you ever thought about starting your own business? If so, what held you back?
I know in my personal experience, and even from what I’ve seen others go through, you get stuck wondering where you are going to find customers. And for startup businesses, it’s more about just getting your foot in the door! Once you’ve gotten started, to really profit it’s all about growing that client base. Making sure you grow your business and reach the community are important, especially when you are new!
What holds most people back is the fear of having to buy advertisements or of begging their friends to buy or support their product. You probably even know a few people like this, shamelessly pushing their businesses on Facebook and Twitter ALL… THE… TIME!
It doesn’t have to be like that! In fact, building and creating a loyal customer base is simple. And it all starts with your relationships – not with your product and not with your advertising.
For years my business operated purely off personal referrals and testimonials. In fact, for the most part we still do!
Back when I was selling weight loss product, my sales team wore t-shirts or pins that said stuff like, “Ask how I lost X amount of weight.” And you know what, it worked. People would stop them in the grocery store and ask them. My sales team focused on generating a relationship with that person – NOT with selling them. It cost us nothing.
When you’re just starting out, you may feel a little overwhelmed, so here’s how to start the personal referral chain and generate business… all for FREE!
Look, if you have no customers or no job opportunities it means one of two things. Either people don’t know you’re out there, or they know you are there and you don’t have a good relationship with them so they don’t have an interest in working with you.
Imagine if everyone on that list you made was willing to work with you. Can you imagine the doors that would open for you? Hit me up on social media and tell me how you’re doing! And don’t forget to Like and Share this post with your friends.

Showing love, appreciation and honoring your mother is certainly a big deal! But it doesn’t have to happen just one day a year. In fact, if it only happens one day a year, you need to fix that… NOW.
When confronted about forgiveness, I had a choice to make. I could continue with my anger, rage, judgment and distrust, which were NOT helping me to become who I wanted to be. Or, I could choose to FORGIVE!
Think about the things in your life you are rushing or “can’t wait for.” It may seem so far off, but seek peace in the knowledge you are still developing! Don’t be the son who is rushing to get his inheritance. Work on being the son who can be trusted with his inheritance.
