Who remembers these from grade school?!  Do they even have these old school merry-go-rounds anymore?  Someone probably decided they weren't safe and removed them all!

I attended training at our Younique convention earlier this month and one of the speakers was from another Direct Sales Company.  Her name was Joyce and I believe she was high up within Scentsy!  LOVELY LADY! 

Joyce made several points that even that really hit home with me.  One that stuck the most was her analogy about earning money with a direct sales company.  She compared it to an old fashion merry-go-round.  You get on, you kick and you kick and you kick, you don't get very much momentum going, it’s a lot of work for not a lot of result.  Its heavy, lopsided, the ground isn't level, you work SO hard and half the time you need someone else to even help you get it started.

Then a few of your friends get on... you all begin to push and kick and together, you gain more and more momentum.  Eventually everyone piles on the merry-go-round and all it takes to keep it going is the occasional push.  You've built the momentum needed to keep it going with very little effort. 

That is a great description of starting off with a DS company.  You start off working and calling and emailing.  You work many, MANY hours and you don't make much money in comparison to the effort you are put out. 

However, when you stay with it, eventually, you just need the occasional push and around and around you go!  The momentum and earnings of your downline keep your money coming in!

For example, today I have 135 in my DL, I only sold about $1k myself.  However, my entire downline has sold over $36k in Younique Products so, the majority of my earning will come from THEIR efforts!  From the momentum they are generating by working their business!  This is why I focus on building and supporting my team over my own personal business.
