The Role of Respectability

Anyone with a conscience needs to be proud of what they do.  This pride extends to all areas of our business.  Our mission, how we operate, how we treat people... are all internally consistent with each other.  Your role is to rise to this level of expectation.  That is, to rise to the level of a Professional home business owner who offers value to those you work with.

Being respected as a role model in terms of how you comport yourself, the "clues" you leave to others about success, and the overt expression of your leadership all combine to form the mantle you wear on a daily basis.  The adage is, "respect is earned".

Digging deeper, the more problematic aspect of respectability is in regard to our business model and fighting the stigma of person-to-person commerce.  There is no getting around the fact that we battle the, "oh... it's one of those things" perception of our industry.  In many cases, this reputation is warranted due to the failure rate... (and) of people spending money and not succeeding.  Unfortunately, there is a long sorry history of business flops and broken dreams - most under the old model of product-based direct selling.

Our model is new, clean and simple.  However, we can't simply jump to claiming respectability as a result.  Again, we need to dig deeper.  We need to have the ability to articulate, "why?"

We help people.  Or more precisely, we have the ability and the potential to help people.  Whether this happens is ultimately the responsibility of the one being helped.

Our Learning Community, our training resources, our onboarding process, and the support offered makes us unique in the peer-to-peer marketing industry.  We are different from anything else "out there".  This personalization experience, this guided process, this conscious intent to help ensure people's success is a difference that warrants respect.

Our candor, our "not for everyone" mantra, our constant admonitions about integrating change - all contribute to the fact that we are not attempting to "pull the wool over anyone's eyes" but are sincerely committed to helping people elevate their life circumstances.

We seek quality, not quantity.  We drive deep and lasting relationships.  And, we provide the tools and processes to enable the same.  This is our difference.  This is what is deserving of respect.
