The Piece To a Puzzle.

Hello everyone, Danielle here- your local tech support and internet marketing friend.

So everyone may wonder why it is that I’m in charge of stuff like websites and the internet more than other two in our little trio. Now aside from the fact that they both don’t understand html, I figure I should get this out in the open even though it may come as a surprise to you. I’m not an outgoing person.

Yep, that’s right. I’m rather shy and always have been. I remember last year, when my mother introduced me to the world of network marketing she showed me the process- how you need to approach people and explain to them about the product and all and I’m going to be honest… The thought of approaching people (even people I knew) made me want to crawl under my desk and die. And I’m sure for some of you the idea of this may make you feel the same way. Soon after hearing about this, I started observing the situation. I thought, “This is actually a really cool business, great product, great payment structure- This should be cake. If only I was a social butterfly, I might actually get this to work, right?”. Wrong. Here I am trying to make myself into something I’m not, smiling excessively and crying on the inside trying to approach people about something I knew they were barely interested in.

In time, even though my realization wasn’t overnight, I realized something. Why am I coming to them? So I decided after reading a really informative E-Book from my up line, that I needed a new plan. I mean, trying to explain my product while my lips were trembling didn’t pan out so well. This was obviously time for a change. So, after beating myself up about what I could contribute to our trio, my sister Jen said we need to make this website better looking and market it to people who actually want to speak to us. I realized my strength wasn’t necessarily public speaking, but maybe writing and privately speaking to prospects who are actually interested. If people are coming to you, they obviously are interested in what you have to offer, why be so scared?

Well everyone, my point is even for a shy person in a people driven business, there is a place for you. You have to work with what you have and how confident you are in what you have will definitely show through. So start looking at your flaws not as road blocks- but as detours in your little journey. Even if you don’t have a type A personality, it doesn’t mean you can’t speak to people, it just means you have to find your own method of reaching out to people. We all have our strengths, and if I wasn’t here, our webpage might look like this. =p
