Retirement is supposed to be a time for leisure. Ideally, it’s the ultimate freedom that we’ve worked for our whole adult lives. We’re supposed to have all the time in the world to do whatever we choose: spend time with family, travel, see shows, play sports and participate in philanthropic activities. But how many of us foresee an actual retirement date, a time when we can afford to live this ideal life of leisure?
Many successful LifePharm IBOs started to build their businesses because they could see clearly that their regular jobs were never going to provide them with the opportunity to retire and live well. Even some of the most successful LifePharm IBOs had to work a traditional job while starting a LifePharm Business on the side. Because the reality is, not everyone can afford to quit working a salaried or hourly job and dive into entrepreneurship. Yet, with LifePharm they found a way to supplement their basic incomes. They did and so can you.
If you purely consume the superb LifePharm Products, you’ve actually already taken the first, most important step in building a business: you have experienced the benefits of the products. Personal experience is key to eventually building a successful business, because you will have a story to tell. Your story can be short and sweet (that requires your listener to have only a short attention span). For example, “I take IMMUNE+++ twice a day and I have never felt better. I made it through the entire cold and flu season without so much as a sniffle. It’s the first time that’s ever happened to me and the only difference is that I was taking IMMUNE+++ regularly.” Or, “After three months of taking DIGESTIVE+++ with each meal, I no longer feel bloated and am as regular as clockwork.” Whatever your product experience may be, it becomes your personal story to tell.
When you decide to build your LifePharm Business, be realistic about what you can do if you need to keep your regular job. Think about how many hours you can devote to building your LifePharm Business—daily, weekly and monthly. It’s perfectly okay if you can’t spend time sharing LifePharm every day, because you work long hours in an office, factory, store, school, etc. That’s the beauty of networking: you simply do it when you can.
Although it would be ideal to be able to jump into LifePharm full time, never worry if you are not in a position to do so. If you still work a traditional job and are considering doing more than just consuming LifePharm Products, you are in the perfect position to develop your business. Build as many connections as possible in your regular work environment. These are the people who are your potential business partners or team members.
Do you have a position where you work with outside vendors? Do you have clients? Do you have fellow employees? Do you have a supervisor or people you supervise? All these individuals are contacts with whom you can share LifePharm Products as well as the LifePharm Opportunity. If you don’t talk to them, you’ll never know whether they are interested in joining you. So, once you decide to become a LifePharm business builder, initiate lots of conversations that relate to your story and listen carefully to people’s responses.
When you read the business and opportunity endorsements of LifePharm IBOs from different parts of the world, does it excite you? Does it make you wish you could do the same? Do you breathe a sigh of regret that you cannot do the same? The truth is, every successful LifePharm IBO started with an individual story, had a different financial need and worked at his or her own pace. Even if you can only spend a couple of hours a week on building your LifePharm Business, you will see results over time. LifePharm is definitely a business that proves “slowly but surely” works as long as you keep at it.
Don’t try to do everything with your LifePharm Business while you’re still working full-time at a regular job, and don’t try to rush the process. It’s less stressful to start the process by taking baby steps, to share comfortably with the people you feel at ease with and then venture forward. Talk to your closest co-workers, friends and family members. Ask them if they know of people who might be interested in the products. Test the waters. Experiment. And, don’t worry if people ask questions you can’t answer. Simply be honest and tell them you will get back to them with the answers. Your Virtual Office and the Resource Library contain a wealth of information, and if you can’t find something, LifePharm Customer Service representatives are there to help you.
No matter how capable you are, working a full-time regular job and then sharing LifePharm around the clock can be challenging. You don’t want to burnout, so take stock of your situation and make sure to balance your life. Don’t neglect your family because now you’re an entrepreneur on top of everything else. Remember, your strategy is to gradually build enough residual income and a network of LifePharm team members so that you can replace your hourly wages or salary with what you earn in commissions. Or, if you love your traditional job but it simply doesn’t pay enough to allow you to save enough for retirement, you can have your cake and eat it too, by maintaining your position as a part-time LifePharm IBO. It’s a win-win!
