I hear you and feel for you. It can't be easy when the ones we love and support on a daily basis don't reciprocate when the flow is needed the other way around. Having said that, unfortunately we can't demand or expect loyalty or support from someone just because they are family or close friends. Whilst their encouragement would definitely help to instil and build confidence, it is not something that we should be dependant on. It may be that they just don't like the product set and it has absolutely nothing to do with you personally, or they don't have need for these specific products at this time or at all. Perhaps they don't fully appreciate just how much effort and love you pour into your business and are too tied up in their own lives to realise the hurt they are causing by their seeming indifference. Whatever the case may be, I agree that you need to focus on doing what is right for you, despite the support or lack thereof of others around you. Otherwise the hurt will just continue to distract and consume you and detract from your end goals. What is most important is that you believe in yourself, your products and your business plan and you can see it working for you in practice. Be proud of your accomplishments; as you said, you have already built up a loyal following across the country, and remember to have the "serenity to accept the things (you) cannot change." :-)
Oh! no, no!
When I talk about the products because they never bought from me is the fact that they are products that they are using frequently and buying from other people and showing. But not me. And I never forced anything, I just showed the product, quality and great price hahaha
Of the custom products today I see "friends" buying and making their custom products and promoting them too... Even though they know I work with it and do it. And they are "friends" who were with me when we decided to move up, grow in life and each one to follow their entrepreneurial life. In which I always helped, publicized and even dished them...
And some of those when they need help from whoever they turn to? ahahaha
It's that question. The person doesn't need the product or doesn't like it that's normal, and I don't care.
I hear you, sorry I misunderstood a little ;-)
Do not worry. It's all right ;)
