Are You Ready to Make Yourself a Priority in Your Direct Selling Profession?

marth

“I realized that tomorrow is never guaranteed and that life is not a dress rehearsal. We need to live our lives like we meant it.” – Martha Staley

Do you struggle to find time for all the things it takes to build a successful direct sales business and have a balance peace in your day?  Is it hard to find time for yourself after meeting all of your obligations to your family and job? Read this post and listen to the interview from Dream Coach Martha Staley and learn how to identify the obstacles in your life that keep you from making yourself a priority in your business.

Here are three actions you can implement immediately:

  • Incorporate the business into the family and not the family into the business

Often times we try to make our family or personal priorities fit around our business. This can cause stress and even cause us to become overwhelmed. The beautiful part about the direct selling profession is that you can get to work when you want to.  For example, avoid adding the “spinning plates”, before you go ahead and accept an invitation to hold a party or do a show, ask yourself: “How will it affect my family and career balance?

About Greg Schlatter

Greg began his insurance career in 1980 as an independent property and casualty agent where he became proficient at selling all the products normally associated with an independent agency. During the mid 1980’s he moved his focus into life insurance sales supported by his P&C clients. Ultimately, his career took him to a life insurance company where he secured a position as a managing general agent. His focus was to develop and recruit agents. In the years following, Greg became a Regional Vice President and Marketing Director of a MetLife subsidiary company totally focused on worksite marketing and managed the relationship of three nationwide distribution channels, MetLife Financial Services, MetLife Resources and MetLife Auto and Home. During this time he realized that insurance sold in the workplace should not be held captive to the traditional methods of worksite marketing where employers must bow down to the requirements of payroll deductions, list bills and on site enrollments. Based upon these experiences, Greg founded miQuotes.com and began to take “worksite marketing” in a different direction by offering employer groups and associations the ability to offer quality individual insurance options without the need for payroll deductions, list billing, on-site enrollments or strict participation guidelines. By offering individual insurance on a single and customized web based platform miQuotes.com has won the appeal of companies large and small to include national associations. In April 2007, miQuotes.com was acquired by New Benefits, Ltd. and is now part of its family of companies. This acquisition allows miQuotes.com to offer non-insurance discount medical and lifestyle benefits to their arsenal of products.
